Message error when i start itunes

Whenever I try and start itunes it says "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created. The default location for this folder is in the My Music folder." I've reinstalled it in the my music folder, where my iTunes folder is. Doesn't work. I've deleted the entire folder and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. I've gone back to itunes 6 and nothing is working for me. This is so frustrating.

the best place to start with that message is with the following document:
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, perhaps try the alternate technique described in this Nigel Carpenter post:

  • Runtime error when I start iTunes??

    When I open my iTunes, I keep getting an error message of: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I can't figure it out or what to do. Can someone help??
    Thanks!

    Hi everyone. This seems to a a problem with the Apple
    Updater program. If you rename file C:\Program
    Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe to say
    C:\Program Files\Apple Software
    Update\__SoftwareUpdate.exe or any thing else the
    problem seems to go away. Then after iTunes has
    started you can close iTunes, and return the file to
    its original name and everything works fine.
    I downloaded iTunes 7.3 update and the Runtime error
    went away but now I have a different problem.
    ---My podcasts haven't updated since 6/25/07;so, I
    clicked on "Get" on one of them to see if that works:
    nope. It goes on forever.
    --I tried "Refresh" podcast directory but nothing
    happened.
    --I tried quitting but it wouldn't let me. I did the
    CTRLALTDELETE and ended the process. Now I can't
    even run iTunes! It won't open.
    ---Brian, I'm hoping your advice will help me also, but
    I have a basic question: how/where do I change the name
    of the SoftwareUpdate.exe? I know you listed the
    pathway, but I'd have no trouble getting to it if it
    were a Mac but I have no idea with this PC.

  • TS1389 I have the error 42111 when I start iTunes.

    Hello, I have the error 42111 when I start iTunes. I did not download a movie, I just installed the newest version of iTunes. I reinstalled but that didin't help. What can I do? I have Windows 8.

    Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

    Hello mustangcim243,
    iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    (See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
    Thanks,

  • When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

    When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to 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.

  • I have multiple libraries on an external drive. Somehow all the iTunes library files i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, Media folder, etc disappeared! Only the music files remain. Now when I start iTunes w/option it can't find any of the old libraries!

    Help! I 'm using an old G4 powerbook, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iTunes ver 10. I have multiple iTunes libraries on an external drive. Everything was fine for a while, then all of the iTunes library files, i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, artwork folder, Media folder, etc mysteriously disappeared! Only the music files remain (thank god) So now when I start iTunes w/option key to choose a library, I can't choose any of them because iTunes won't recognize them. Because all the library stuff is missing. So can I re-create the library files? (I don't care if I lose my ratings)
    Or should I create a new empty library on the external drive, then manually move all the music files to the Media folder in the new library?
    I tried some stupid ideas like creating a new library just to start iTunes, then going into prefs and advanced, then under iTunes Media folder location, selecting the location of the old library on the external, to see if iTunes would then find all the music which is still there, but no workee.
    I'm out of ideas, and I searched the archives.
    Help! anyone?
    Scott

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Error message "Error when scheduling the query(JOB_CLOSE)".

    Hi all,
    While using query extractor (rscrm_bapi) I am getting error message "Error when scheduling the query(JOB_CLOSE)".
    Could you please find what this error is?
    Thanks,
    Uday.

    Hi Uday,
    This problem can occur if you changed the query definition.
    In this case the query definition would be inconsistent with the existing extract structure.
    Certain Meta information is maintained with each extract defined using the RSCRM_BAPI. If the definition of the query is changed and you need to use the same extract table then you need to delete the extract using the report RSCRMBW_DEL_ALL_EXTRACTS selecting the extract you want
    to delete.
    After this you could use the same table name for any further extract that you need to create.
    One caution is that the extract table should not be deleted through any other transaction before you run the report.
    Rgds,
    Colum

  • My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

    one of my songs is not matched correctly in when I started iTunes match.  How do I fix this?

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.
