ITunes doesn't start in windows

I have installed iTunes on my computer but when I want to start it up I get the message: "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder.
I have tried to manually add this folder but still I get this message.
I have tried this option: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
But I don't even have the option my music in the menu.
My OS is Windows MCE 05 (dutch) with all the updates
Can anyone help me?

But I don't even have the option my music in the menu.
if you're getting that complication when using TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from this Nigel Carpenter post:

  • New iTunes Doesn't Start In Windows XP Pro

    I downloaded new iTunes and now it doesn't open at all. I have unistalled and installed it back many times, including with the help of Apple Support through the phone and I still cannot make it work. The previous version was working perfectly fine.
    Is there a way to solve this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks to Jim Zack, the problem is solved.

  • HP director doesn't start in Windows 8.1

    Have just purchased a new desktop which has Windows 8.1 installed. Have installed the software for PSC 2175 All in one which include the HP Director to manage the printer including scanning. This worked in Windows XP but doesn't start in Windows 8.1. Have run the HP trouble shooter which says that sacn does work. Should it even though there are messages saying there are compatibilty issues.

    Hello @manzagol ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are haveing problems with HP director and windows 8.1.
    I would like to help.
    In 2004 HP director was replaced by the HP solution center.
    The software you are trying to use is over ten years old.
    This would be why it has compatibility issues.
    since you are running windows 8.1, try the HP Scan and Capture app.
    This should give you the ability to scan to your computer without the HP director.

  • (Windows XP) iTunes doesn't start

    Hi,
    My iTunes under Windows XP doesn't start since one week: I can see it started in the taskbar like other applications, as if it were minimized, but nothing else. No error message. If I click on it, nothing happens, if only it doesn't freeze the complete PC. I can only right click > Close.
    I uninstalled all iTunes, then installed it again, and it still didn't work.
    I downloaded iTunes latest version again to be sure. Still the same.
    I looked for solutions over the web, but with no error message it looks difficult to find a case like mine.
    Any idea someone?

    Hey hervelam,
    We have a great resource that will help troubleshoot this issue. It may be isolated to third-party software or plugins, which would explain why uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has not resolved your issue. For information, please refer to the following:

  • Itunes doesn't work on windows 8.1

    after the upgrade to windows 8.1 (I have a HP Henvy H9 x64), itunes doesn't work. I unistalled all the apple software; I restarted the PC and then I installed again itunes (the last version 11.1.5 x64). When the installation finish and I start itunes give me this error "impossible to find the file c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe". Verify that the filename is correct and try again.".
    Somebody could help me? Thanks

    Hello Lorenzo 1972,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
    If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:

  • Latest upgrade of itunes doesn't start up more than once per boot.

    Since the latest upgrade (can't tell what version without rebooting my laptop), iTunes will only start up once per uptime session. If I plug in my iPod Touch, it will start up automatically just once, or if I start by selecting the Start Menu item to run iTunes, it will only start up once. After iTunes is closed, I must reboot the PC if I want to use iTunes. This is with Win7, but it takes me back to the early days of Win95 or ME - ahhh what memories! I'm glad that I can look at that as being in the past, but when it happens right now, I'm not particularly glad.
    I can see that the iTunes Helper is running, and even iTunes.exe is running, but there's no program window visible, no icon in the tray... it's not running as far as I can see, and it's not very useful in that state. I can't see any way other than this of letting Apple know that they've trashed the new version of iTunes as far as my computer is concerned. It's just rather unhandy to have to reboot each time after I've finished using iTUnes. As a friend of mine used to say, there's nothing so unhandy as a handy thing that doesn't work...
    Help?
    Blessings,
    Duff

    And that's true for the latest version as well - no change. The process never goes away after I close iTunes - it just hangs around slowly getting bigger and bigger memory-wise. Plug in my iPod Touch, and nothing happens - no synch, nothing. If I kill off the process, then plug in the iPod, iTunes does start up, but it just hangs there, and never becomes truly running and useful. So, I don't know what "fix" broke my iTunes, but it's still requiring a reboot to get it working after it's been used once and closed. At least Win 7 boots pretty quickly on my laptop...

  • Satellite A205-S4607 doesn't start after windows vista update

    Hello,
    I was installing windows vista updates, but the battery was low and the computer turned off, then, the computer doesn´t start, only the hard disc led is light but the screen is black, please can you help me?
    The model is Satellite A205 -S4607

    Thanks for your advice, but the problem is very complicate, the computer doesn't boot up, only the led te HD is ligthing, I removed the HD and the memory but doesn't work, I've read that the problem could be the bios, and the recomendation is remove the battery of the board to reset the bios, but I think it is very dangerous.

  • My iTunes doesn't start since the last update

    I am using mac os x 10.7.4 and itunes 1.6.3. since this update itunes does not start anymore. What can I do ?

    On Vista Home premium, uninstalling and reinstalling buth iTunes and Apple Applicatioon Support did NOT work for me.
    What did work for me was manually copyting CoreVideo.dll from the Apple Application Support folder into my iTunes folders (actually, to both of them - under Program Files and Program Files (x86)) as per advice posted in a Windows forum, found after an hour or more of frustration and failure.
    This appears to be a bug in the 10.1 installation scriptimng - what's going on?

  • ITunes doesn't start...

    Hello,
    it seems that the Problem is very old because i've found an old post which deals with my problem:
    Link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5499159&#5499159
    At first I want to discribe the problem by my own words:
    1. Install Itunes 7.5 with Quicktime
    2. I start ITunes, no window would be openend, but i can see the processes in the task manager: ITunes.exe, iPodService.exe, AppleMobileDevice.exe, iTunesHelper.exe
    They does NOT disappear after a while, I must close them manualy
    3. I'm using this How to: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386 but the folder is empty... ( I cleared the folder and make a new one with the same Name )
    The Quicktime Player works fine..
    Looking foward to an answer
    Regards from Germany

    If iTunes will not start and there is no error message and iTunes.exe persists in the task manager:
    There are a couple of things to try initially.
    Try briefly turning off your firewall to see if this allows iTunes to start. If it does, your need to reconfigure your firewall.
    Which firewall are you using and do you have any other firewalls, even if you are not using them or they have been uninstalled?
    The second thing to try is to delete the iTunes configuration file. The following article on troubleshooting iTunes tells you how.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    If those two things don't help, try working through the rest of the article.
