ITunes wont open on Windows Vista. help! i dont want to return my i pod!

I have fully installed iTunes 9, and whenever I try to open it from the shortcut it states exactly : The folder "iTunes" cannot be created or found. and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" Folder.
However I somehow moved my original "Music" folder, and created a new one. Yesterday the first time I downloaded iTunes 64setup, it worked. I was able to view apps and movies and music. However now It when I open ITunes it says the above. I have tried removing it and reinstalling and repairing it. NOTHING WORKS! please help!

Awesomeness!
Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
Is this on a Vaio?

  • Itunes wont open on Windows XP

    I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

    hi Singh!
    is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):

    keep us posted

  • ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

    Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
    I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
    I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
    I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

    Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

  • Itunes wont open on Windows 7. Have tried EVERYTHING?

    My name is Hunter and i have tryed everything to open up my Itunes.
    I have Windows 7 on a HP Probook 4425s and i have been all over the web looking for help.
    I have tried uninstalling and repairing multiple times and still nothing.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you

    I also have the same problem. I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled but it still will not open. The blue circle (loading sign), appears for about one second but nothing happens. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, Tim.

  • Itunes wont start on windows vista

    itunes won't start on my computer on any of the profiles i tried to uninstall it but it never fully uninstalled so i tried updating it NOTHING!!! what's wrong??? oh yea i have windows vista home premium if that helps any.

    You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
    I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
    This one can be caused by the installer getting damaged on the download.
    What browser are you using for the download? Does it make any difference in the performance of the installer if you user Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

  • Lightroom 4.3 update exe wont open in windows vista..

    I had no problem updating my laptop with windows 8 to lightroom 4.3 however, the exe file wont even open on my main computer using windows Vista.. 4.2 updater opens no problem but 4.3 updater doesn't   solution? don't say update windows.. lol

    Having the same problems with Firefox, Chrome and IE, on Vista, all downloads fail to run the .exe. After downloading with Firefox on my Ubuntu PC and copying the file to my Vista box I have finally managed to run the exe to extract the install programme, readme & the lightoom 4 files folder etc and then on the second attempt manged to get the install exe to run and install 4.3.
    This is not what i expect from Adobe!!
    Adobe, can you be more specific as to what is causing this problem and also perhaps consider making the downloads available through FTP instead of only HTTP, it would be a more efficient use of your download server which seems to get saturated too frequently.

  • Itunes wont open with windows 7

    I've tried a previous post that suggested a bonjour fix and it didn't work for my problem.I really hate that EVERY time I do an itunes update I go through major issues to work out the bugs!!! I love my ipod, but this is becoming more of a problem than the thing is worth to me.

    Enable the guest account in Windows 7 and see if itunes will open in that account.
    This will tell us if it's a user-specific problem, or system-wide.
    Then work through the steps here,depending on what you find in the guest account.

  • Itunes wont open in windows 7 32 bit

    Itunes will not open in windows 7.  I get a message stating that Apple support is not loaded.

    Someone else suggested uninstalling Quicktime.  I did that, and it worked for my 64bit Windows 7.  Good luck!
