ITunes folder location in Windows 64-bit

In iTunes, under Edit-Preferences-Advanced-iTunes Media folder location it says:
C:\Users\[user name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
My desktop is a PC running Windows 7 64-bit; is that folder location right or should there be a "64" in the path somewhere?
When I first installed iTunes on it, I did not realized I needed the 64-bit version. I have now removed the incorrect version and I installed the correct one, but I would like to be sure about the proper location before I transfer purchases from my iPod Touch.

Hello Corey,
C:\Users[user name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
That is the correct default location where iTunes is installed. And if you aren't having any issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much anyways.

Entry point not found - iTunes 10.7 for Windows (64-bit) reinstall

After ignoring iTunes update prompts for about 2 years, I recently tried updating to the latest version (12.1) without success. After searching for solutions to this problem online, I decided to uninstall iTunes and try reverting back to iTunes 10.7 for Windows 64-bit (on my Windows Vista laptop).
At this point I have installed, repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled, and repaired the 10.7 version and am still unable to access iTunes. When I try to launch iTunes, I get the following error messages:
"iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CMTimeRangeMakeFromDictionary could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll."
When I click OK, I then get:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
(As I stated above, reinstalling hasn't worked!)
In my online troubleshooting searches, I've found posts regarding entry point issues but none with "CMTimeRangeMakeFromDictionary" or "CoreMedia.dll" in them. I'm unsure what to do next (should I attempt iTunes 12.1 again?), and my biggest concern is that I will somehow lose all my music. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. CoreMedia.dll is part of Apple Application Support.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

ITunes 11.2 for Windows (64-bit) hangs when opened

Hi
I recently updated to iTunes 11.2 for Windows (64-bit) on both my PC & laptop which both run Windows 7 and are apart from this problem with Itunes are very stable.
After installing the updates, each time I try to launch Itunes the program will open to show the main window but then I get the following:
I cannot make any of the functions respond (via mouse or tabbing)
The "timer circle" (Same as Apples "egg timer I guess) just runs & runs.
Eventually after say 20 mins, I get the standard Windows message about Itunes has stopped.
I then have to exit via this message window, whcih closes the Itunes program down.
I cannot find any conflicts with spyware etc and all other programs etc are running as normal, any ideas if this is a bug in iTunes 11.2 for Windows (64-bit)? Or is there something else I can try?
I have tried completely uninstalling & reinstalling the software, but that failed too (and I do not know whow to find a previous release of Itunes to try again!)
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

Did you download the 64-bit installer?

If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

HT1473 why does itunes media folder location in windows 8 goes to \username\music\music when pointed to the my music folder

I have recently decided to upgrade to windows 8 and with it clean out all the music in my itunes media collection and start fresh.
Before I start to download my purcharsed iCloud music or import my cds I set my media folder location to be "c:\users\username\my music\"
and the below images show the outcome, which seems like its a bug and it annoys me.
so now i have a folder called music inside the my music folder in my users profile, this seems really stupid i hope its a bug that gets fixed
if i set it as the below then all the music artists folder names appear straight under c:\users\username\
Why does the extra \music\ folder get added ?!?!!??? it just makes it messy.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Essentially iTunes wants to put its content into <Media Folder>\<Media Kind>\<Subfolders>. See make a split library portable for reasons why you should stick to the default layout for the iTunes folders (media folder inside main iTunes folder), and Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for suggestions on how to set out the library for use by both applications.

ITunes 10.7 for Windows (64-bit)

I'm using iTunes 6.3.25 for Windows (64-bit). When I checked in Help<Check for Updates, iTunes doesn't show 10.7 update. Even Apple Software Update doesn't show any update. In case, I download version 10.7 from Apple support site, would it affect my music libraries? Would this move repalce 6.3 with 10.7 or 10.7 run along 6.3?

With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Under normal circumstances, updating using an installer file like that doesn't touch your content. (That being said, It's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup in case of disasters.)

Itunes folder location is correct but music and books pointing to time machine

hi, i was hoping someone could help with an itunes 10.6.3 issue i have. i am using an imac with OS X 10.5.8. when i open itunes preference, the itunes media folder location is correct. however, when i look at a song or book info, it is pointing to a time machine backup location. i believe this is preventing me from listening to any music on my imac and preventing the music and books to sync with to my iphone. thanks.

Okay, thats weird.
Try to consolidate your media.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH990
also, in the iTunes music folder, go inside to manually check if the songs are there.

Itunes folder location problem

I recently consolidated my library to an external drive but every time I restart iTunes (after a reboot) the default location reverts to local harddrive on my Macbook. Did I consolidate incorrectly? How do I get the music folder location to stay pointed to the external drive (which is connect to an Airport Extreme and always turned on)?

System prefs -> Accounts.
Select your account and add the external drive to your Login items.

Howdy - Does anyone know why the folders for Podcasts, Movies, Audiobooks and TV Shows are buried deep within the song files in "iTunes Music Folder" and not more conveniently in the "iTunes Folder"? I moved "Podcasts" once, but new episodes were sent to an automatically created replacement folder back in the "iTunes Music Folder". Can these files be redirected? Thanks! Any musings are welcome - I'm not garthy!

Hello!
Apparently, apple designers decides it was a good idea to hard code those paths. You can't change them, at least not for podcasts and iTS downloads. For content obtained elsewhere, you can sort them as you like and drag them into the itunes library - if copy files is unchecked, they will stay where they are.
I've sent feedback to Apple on this. I suggest you do, too. It makes no sense to have the other media buried in the music folder. I would like to have movies go to one drive that has a lot of free space and other content go someplace else. I know it can be done, as itouch apps and photos can be in a completely different place.

IPod Touch is stuck in "connect to iTunes" screen. It is not recognized by iTunes or by my Windows (64-bit) computer.

I recently purchased a new laptop after my old one ceased to function. Therefore, I had lost ,my old iTunes, and my iPod is no longer authorized by a functioning computer. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, plugged my iPod in, and tried to install the new iPod Touch software update. I got the error message that the installation had failed, and iTunes automatically ejected my iPod, leaving it in the "connect to iTunes" screen, in which it has been stuck ever since (about 9 days now). I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, have rebooted my computer numerous times, I have tried various holdings of the power button and home button as recommended on several help forums, etc. to no avail. I am using a Windows 7 (64-bit) system on a brand new HP Pavilion dm4 laptop with plenty of space and the newest version of iTunes installed. My iPod Touch (3G) is not being recognized by iTunes or by my laptop. I would like to, if possible, restore my iPod to original factory settings so that it can be authorized on my new laptop and will sync approrpiately. Any help anyone can provide will be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
Also, the iTunes is the version for a 64-bit Windows OS.

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:

- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:

Changing itunes folder location

I am unable to play music from itunes, after having upgraded my hard drive to solid state.
I have selected the path in advanced preferences, then selected that path again under file,
I selected organize library, and all of the albums and only half the artwork, but that's another subject,
are now available from itunes music, but the songs will not play. I believe my music library is identical on two separate external hard drives, I can move this drive to my imac and access the music but no longer on the mini, since installation of SSD. The settings on each computer seem to be identical, but obviously I've overlooked something?

Change the location of the library in the Preferences. This tells iTunes where new music that you add will go, but it won't move your existing music there.
Back in iTunes, use the Consolidate Library option. This will copy all the music currently in iTunes to the new Library location, along with organizing it and renaming it and such. Once this is done, you can check that the music is there, and then delete the old location.
Few things:
-There's a couple of files that live in My Music\iTunes. These are an ITL and an XML file. These cannot be moved. They contain all the information about what's in your iTunes library.
-If you still want to move them, use TweakUI to change the location of your My Music folder to somewhere that won't get copied to the server. Then move/copy the library files to that new location.

ITunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) did not fix choppy playback

After reading all the other posts I tried installing the (64 bit for older video cards) and it did not solve my choppy playback with Music or Movies. I am running windows 8.1, Intel i7-4500U CPU @ 1.8GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit OS, x64 based processor, DELL Inspirion 15. Never had problems until upgrading to 8.1 from 8.0.

Did you see if changing the Play Audio Using select in Edit > Preferences > Playback to "Direct Sound" resolves the issue? Otherwise you may want to consider rolling back to 12.0 and waiting until a future release is shown to resolve the playback issues in 12.1. See Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Unable to upgrade to itunes 10.7 for Windows (64-bit)

I just got two Iphones 4s. I need to upgrade my computer to itunes 10.7, but everytime I try I get this error message.
What am I doing wrong? And what needs to be done to correct this problem.
I am using Windows Vista.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
