ITunes running
After I install the iTunes, it can not run successfully. Always appear that reminding——the folder 'iTunes' can not be found or created. But when I seach my computer, it's there. Even I change to another path or try different version, still got the same problem. What's wrong?
Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
Good luck.

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.Hi maddogdne,

I posted the other evening about installing iTunes and then using a Library on a drive other than 'C.' I got this to work, used the old library file, iTunes creates a new one, freezes for a bit, and everything in those folders displays fine. Once iTunes starts to download two recent purchases, the program freezes. The downloads come in fine, but it takes hours before it shuts down by itself after clicking the exit button. Tonight I start it again. Everything is fine until I try to enter the store. The program freezes. Also, purchases in the cloud do not display, which may be due to the old library. I've never had any issues with iTunes in the many years I've been using it. Do I need to simply reinstall, create a NEW library on the separate drive, and then migrate existing material to the newly-created library? How do I get my purchases in the cloud (TV, Film, since all of my music is on the drive) to display so I can download them at will? I'm completely at a loss. ITunes used to be a lot easier to manage. I used to have libraries split between drives with no problem. I realize I've listed several broad problems here, so if I need to work through them one at a time, please tell me where to begin, or which specific info is needed to help you wiser folks help get my iTunes running once more.
Thanks in advance!So I just learned that Apple now charges you for support to use their software if you're not a MAC user, but they still want me to purchase from their store, which I cannot use because the software is bugging out. Sense when did Apple become Microsoft? This is partly the reason I stopped buying pre-fab PCs, and just use their OS because I have to have it for work. I'd switch to Linux in a second if I could use my work-related software and had a player that could play iTunes proprietary content, since I've spent an obscene amount of income with them since 2005. I was hoping someone would stop by and give a hint of a solution, but I guess I'll figure it out on my own like I have to do when software designed for MS goes buggy. Maybe I'll rate this as solving my own problem and collect the 10 points. lol Thanks to everyone to stopped by and read the problem.

I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
TYIA
Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
I did that on XP so I know better now!
Here is just 1 example of many:
On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes. In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version. Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time! -
At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?
I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will. -

How can I get iTunes running on a Windows XP machine as well as, separately on a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize and sync with my new iPhone 4S? I have different libraries on each machine which I need to sync with the iPhone, both in iTunes. It seems to be workiing fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not even reconizing the device at all in iTunes on Windows XP.
Thank you for your assistance.Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off. How can I solve this problem please?When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

Error Message--ITunes runs in 64-bit mode. Uncheck the Open in 32-bit mode in Get info for ITunes. However it is UNCHECKED. I cannot access itunes at all. What now?
Fallout75, good catch on the eXo plugin. To remove it, in the Finder click "Go" on the menu bar and pull down to "Go to Folder" and then type ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
When that Finder window opens, you should see an "eXo" subdirectory. Just delete that "eXo" folder and iTunes should start without the error. -
Itunes running too slow to use
I recently uploaded a lot of content into my itunes and moved it to an external hard drive. All of a sudden Itunes runs so slow it periodically freezes as I scroll down through my library. I uploaded about 60,000 songs to bring the total to about 67,000 and change. Do you think its the number of songs coupled with the fact that this is an old computer I am using (even though its a brand new external drive) that is causing the problem or could it be something else?

I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running? I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.
ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

I'm using iTunes 10.7 (avoiding iTunes 11 because you can't have multiple playlists open at the same time with it) on my MacBook Pro. I have a large library on an external Thunderbolt drive. I'm finding iTunes running annoyingly slow quite. I've eliminated all but one or two smart playlists, but have more a couple of hundred regular playlists. Looking for suggestions on how to speed up iTunes.
No it's not your computer. The newest version of itunes is basically unusable. It will freeze, not only the program itself, but it will slow your whole computer to a crawl, or more usually, to a completely frozen state. I've done some time checks:
After clicking on a song, it took over 40 seconds before the song actually played.
After sliding the volume slider to the left to descrease volume, it took over 90 seconds for the change to actually be implemented.
I haven't listend to music for months on my computer because of this stupid memory hog of a program. Never had a problem until some of the more recent updates.
Apparently itunes philosophy is "If it ain't broke, break it." -
Is anyone having trouble with itunes running on Windows server 2008?
We use to have iTunes running on a Dell desktop box that was acting as our file server for years. I upgraded both our hardware to a Dell Pwoeredge server running Windows Server 2008 RS and now I'm finding that iTunes will only stay running for about 3 days. It stops running and has to be force quit and then restarted to get songs playing again. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it for happening in the future? We use iTunes based music for our on-hold music for our phone system and for in-store ambiance music.

Can itunes run from a personal cloud drive, can itunes run from a personal cloud drive
can itunes run from a personal cloud drive? I currently have my Itunes media files stored on an external drive because it is over 1.5GB with movies. Does anyone have experience with a WD My Book Live wireles cloud storage device? I would love to not to have to always be in the same room as my storage device
ThanksIt will work if it's used as a network drive which contains your iTunes library in the same way your external does now. Although it will demand more from your network than your current configuration does but shouldn't be a problem if your network is working correctly.

ITunes running set up multiple times
Hi,
Does anyone know why iTunes would run through set up without a downloaded update? My iTunes runs though the set up process many, many times. Since I've been keeping track of the set ups, it has run 11 times with only one of those times being with a downloaded update.
I've saved the dates:
10/26/10, 11/23/10, 1/5, 1/20, 1/29, 2/3 w/downloaded update, 2/4, 2/9, 2/10, 2/18, 2/23.
It's starting to get annoying. Anyone know what's going on or have similar problems?
Thanks,
FritzI have the same problem when syncing to my Android phone and my iphone. Firefox keeps saying it's the wrong password even on the phones I'm trying to sync with.
