Moved music from C: to D: to free up space, now iTunes doesn't run!  FML

I recently had the bright idea to move the content of My Music from the default C: location to D: which had much more GBs of space in hopes of making the programs run a little faster and more reliable. When attempting to open iTunes after the move it will not open and i recieve the message, *"The folder 'iTunes' can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder"*
Same situation on my D: location. What should i do? I even tried moving the files back and iTunes is still unresponsive. How do i fix the situation without losing everything on my iPhone and iPod?

then I deleted the iTunes music folder from C drive.
Are you sure you deleted ONLY the *iTunes music folder*?
I opened iTunes under my programs and it was blank. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry, I'm iTunes challenged.
So you;
- quit iTunes
- moved the music back where it was
- opened iTunes and consolidated
- quit iTunes
- deleted the iTunes music folder on the C: drive
- then restarted iTunes?

  • I moved all my files around on my computer to free up space now itunes library is empty?

    i moved all my itunes folder, music,photos etc.. on to d drive to free up space on my computer as c drive was full as i was unable to backup my iphone or update software due to memory space. After i did this i went back in to itunes but all my music,apps etc are gone. It also does not recognise that this is the computer where all my files for my iphone & itunes library are stored. It will not let me backup my phone or update without wiping everything off my iphone first, as it says plug your phone into the computer where your files are stored to update or it will update my phone using this itunes library which is empty??Can anyone advise please?

    I have the similar issue.  Can someone please help us?

  • Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

    In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

    Music is synced to iphone from itunes.
    Plug in iphone and select whatever you like to sync from itunes to iphone.

  • When I have bought music from i-Tunes am I free to use that music on my videos, for instance on YouTube or Facebook?

    When I have bought music from i-Tunes am I free to use that music on my videos, for instance on YouTube or Facebook?

    no you are certainly not allowed to use music in any way you want.
    iTunes downloads give you permission to play the music for personal use only; see the extract from terms of use below.
    To use published music for other purposes you would need to contact the publisher of the music direct and ask about obtaining a licence.
    This can be very expensive!     A few hundred £ / $
    If this is for video production, a far easier and cheaper option is to use Production Music, such as MCPS:

  • I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

    I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Trouble moving music from my iTunes to my iPhone.

    I downloaded the new iTunes software very recently, but now I seem to be having trouble moving music from my iTunes library onto my iPhone. If I click and drag the track to the iPhone icon, the icon is completely unresponsive. If I right-click the track and hit "Add to iPhone" nothing happens either. My iPhone is synced to my laptop and 'Trusts' it, so I don't understand why I'm not getting any response from my phone when I try to move music into it.
    This is especially frustrating as when I tried to download the new software for my iPhone it suddenly and inexplicably went into recovery mode, and though I recovered the phone's data from backup all my music has been deleted from my phone and I can't get it back.
    Am I doing something wrong that I'm unaware of, or is there a problem with the software? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

    Do you just want to delete the music or wipe the whole phone since you've switched to the other one?
    If you plug the old iPhone into your computer you can remove stuff via iTunes or remove stuff directly from the iPhone too.
