  • ITunes wont open only error message

    iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
    Please help

    hiya!
    it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
    okay, here's the best place to start:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

    i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

    hi Aaron!
    error 1327.Invalid Drive D:\
    hmmm. that one's consistent with the abrupt change of drive letters too.
    have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1327?

  • ITunes wont open (Windows Error 998)

    iTunes was working fine and then it wouldnt open up and it would say "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 998)" I would reinstall it but i don't want to erase all the music off library. Anyone know how I can keep my songs on iTunes and reinstall it. Thanks

    (French) I think (because I did it oft) that your music will stay in your files and wenn you'll re-install itunes, your music will come back automaticly... But I have also this problem, I had re-install iTunes a lot of times and it's always the same... I can't open iTunes

  • ITunes wont open. Error message has no text just red octagon with !

    I plugged in my iPod this morning which is set to automatically launch iTunes. A window came up after several second but there was no text telling me what the error was.
    The only thing showing in the window is a red octagon with an exclamation mark in the middle. Overlapping the bottom right portion of the octagon is the blue iTunes cd icon. There is also a button allowing me to close the window.
    The system appears to be unaffected by this. I have tried running permissions, deleting the plist from Preferences, rebooting, but the same window keeps popping up.
    Can anyone tell me what type of error this is and how to fix it?
    I'm running a 1.42 GHz, G4 Mini with 1 GB of RAM. My iTunes music resides on an external firewire drive with the library files in the Music folder on my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting the same problem.
    I have no iPod. I can quite iTunes. I tried restarting. Same result.

  • My Itunes wont open - reading error "cannot be read because it was created by a newer verdion of itunes"

    My Itunes wont open - reading error "cannot be read because it was created by a newer verdion of itunes"
    should i uninstall/ reinstal.
    will i loose all my music nd playlists?

    This technique should work...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Hi itunes wont install windows error 2 keep popping up what do i do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    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 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.

    sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. there's instructions on how to do that in this user tip:

  • ITunes wont open windows 7 64-bit

    Ive been searching for over an hour, iTunes wont open on windows 7 64-bit. The process is running in task manager. I did all of the troubleshooting steps on: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    I also have uninstalled and reinstalled.
    I found some other threads and from what I can tell quciktime runs fine and it is not a conflict with Bonjour. I have disabled all non system process from running and it will still not open. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Also I am running iTunes 10.5 but have also tried it on 10.2

    Solved problem by creating new iTunes library, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    under User-specific Troubleshooting.
    I dont know what the problem was or why this worked, but it did.

  • File Manager unable to open, Windows error message...

    When I try to open File Manager from Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Phone Browser in My Computer, a Windows error message suddenly appears and says "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I don't know what seems to be the problem. I've been using it for months and this is the only time I encountered a problem like this. How can I solve this problem?
    I have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite (Version 6.85.12.0), my OS is Windows XP 2000, and I'm using a USB cable as a connector.
    Please, I really do need to fix this one.

  • Firefox V4 opens Windows error message "Cannot find...."

    I updated Firefox to version 4. Now, every time I open Firefox a Windows Error popup appears stating...
    Windows cannot find
    'https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=us&rand=832809823&i=IWZkZHNKIXRzZnNydEpidXV4dSF0ZEqOZHh4fH5iU356YmNYcnM%3d&.src=ym'
    In spite of the error message, Firefox proceeds to open normally and takes me to Yahoo.com. Closing the error message has no affect pro or con...so, the message is merely a nuisance. I've tried everything I can think of to permanently remove it with no success. Running a deep scan to find out if it is a virus didn't find anything. Am using XP Home edition. By the way, I get a similar Windows error message when I try to open GMAIL, and Firefox then opens my GMAIL account. Weird.
    Am hoping someone can tell me how to prevent these messages from appearing. Thanks in advance!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

    itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

    I have same problem  on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC.    Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far.  Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
      It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes.     Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:-     open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes.   Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS.      I-tunes will now re-open ok.   You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
    A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

  • Tried to update itunes but now it wont open,an error message comes up ??

    i have tried to update my itunes but now i am not able to open it and an error message comes up saying "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found . re installing the application may fix the problem" . i dont know how to reinstall it or how to fix it help !??

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

    hi,
    today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
    this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
    Quicktime unavailable
    itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
    Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
    well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
    im on windows XP professional.
    cheers in advance

    hiya!
    if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
    that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
    iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
    ... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
    Resetting iPod warnings
    do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?
