Opening I-Tunes indicates it can't find "My Music" folder

Hi, I can download I-Tunes OK, but when I go to open the program it says the folder "My Music" can not be found (the folder exists), and I-Tunes won't open.
Please help, I need new music.

Help!!!! I have the same problem but I am using a MAC, not windows. I just installed itunes 7.6 when prompted and my computer restarted. When I try to open itunes now, it says
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
The iTunes folder is indeed in the Music Folder. Ugh.
Thanks, D

Itunes can't find my music folder

I can't install Itunes....it downloads fine from the exe file but when i try to open itunes it gives me the error msg that it can't find My Music folder. I went to the support page and it told me that if i couldn't find My Music folder to create one in My documents and download/install Tweak UI. I did and followed all the steps except when it asks me to click on My computer, then special folder and can't find the My Music folder to move it. I am using Windows XP....Please help. Has anyone ever had this problems?

I finally found a solution here: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/983948.htm
it's stupid, you have to hold down the shift key while you open iTunes (don't just hold it while you click, keep holding it until iTunes actually shows the library dialog).

I can't find my music folder in my ipod. please help

I synced all my folder music to Ipod classic, then I look to my Ipod classic but I can't find my music folder anywhere. Please help...

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

ITunes in Vista RC1 - can't find My Music folder

I installed iTunes 7.0.1 in Vista (64 bit)& launced iTunes. I get an iTunes error message saying "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location is inside the 'My Music' folder." I can't even open iTunes to direct it to the location; when you click OK on the box, it closes the error box and iTunes doesn't open.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I had been keeping my library in an external disk drive, that had - until the crash - been my 'G' drive. Post crash it now calls itself the 'K' drive.
your registry will probably still be looking for the My Music folder on your K drive. (the "My Music" folder has special registry properties.)
so let's try shifting the drive letter on that drive back to "K". for instructions on shifting drive letters, see the following document. (although it's about changing the drive letter of an iPod, the same basic principle apply to changing the drive letters of other drives.)
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

ITunes can't find My Music folder & won't launch - Vista OS

Hello,
I've been using iTunes successfully for months with Vista, then one day iTunes wouldn't launch. I got the error message "The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the my music folder."
I've seen a similar post but for Windows XP - referencing a system registry problem.
This doesn't seem relevant because Vista doesn't even have a My Music folder. The folder is named "Music" and is not located in My Documents.
Can anybody help? Thanks!

Itunes can not find My Music folder

I recently had a friend who backed-up my music folder to a external hard drive. After a while it was to complicated to use, so I moved all my music back to my laptop. Now when I start iTunes, it states
"The folder "i Tunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is the "My Music" folder
I followed instructions from the Apple website to download Tweak UI, but even that doesn't list "My Music" folder. It list all the others, "My Pictures etc."
When I click on my documents, "My Music" is there with the "Itunes" folder, but I am still unable to get Itunes to work. Please help.

I cannot start iTunes because the program can't find 'My music' folder

I had a fairly hefty PC crash yesterday, and I cannot now start my iTunes software. The error message is: "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'My Music' folder."
I had been keeping my library in an external disk drive, that had - until the crash - been my 'G' drive. Post crash it now calls itself the 'K' drive.
All I can presume is that the software is pointed towards the old 'G' drive.
My music is still intact, but I just cannot connect to it.
Can anybody help, please?
Many thanks.

Safari is not able to open this page because it can not find the server.

I too need help with this problem with my Ipod touch. Currently, I am in the Ukraine, go to a wifi cafe, access the wifi and get a clear powerful signal. Then I try to load the Google page, any page from my bookmark or write the web address in and I receive the same message; "Safari can not open this page because it can not find the server." Something is wrong with my settings and I tried to reset the options but it does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 169.254.xxx.xxx address indicates that there is a problem with DHCP server in your BT Digital Hub (Home hub?) because the iPod is taking a default IP rather than been given a suitable one. At the moment the iPod is not even in the same subnet as the router so it's no wonder that Safari can't find the Internet.
Ensure that the DHCP server is on and that you have an IP-address pool sufficiently large to serve all the devices you have. I'd expect it to be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. If you have FON enabled you certainly need that wider range as other people may be using your router too.

"Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

I just bought my iPhone. The first time I attempted to log onto my home wireless network (US Robotics Wireless Router) the iPhone performed perfectly. However, the next time I attempted to logon and surf it gave me the "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" error message. I tried a variety of things which didn't work. I called the Apple Tech Support. Turning off the router and rebooting it was the only thing that worked. I thought my problem was resolved because after cycling the router the iPhone worked great once again. But . . . later the same day I attempted to connect to the router and the same thing happened and I got the error message. I attempted to power cycle the router just like before but this time it did not work! Help! Bad router? Wrong settings on router or iPhone?

Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
See [[Menu bar is missing]]
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
