I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

The folder "itunes"can not be found or created and is required
I am getting this error message when I try to open Itunes on my pc. The error message reads:
The folder "itunes" can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is in "my music" folder.
I can see it there and I open it and hit agree to contract and this error message come up. I have deleted the program reinstalled the program. Please if you have any suggestions on how to fix this I would appreciate the help.
Thanks Mkitzthe best place to start with that one is with the following document:

... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

Hi all,
I am using a 80GB ipod classic for some time now. I recently bought a new hard drive and am in the process of repopulating my files. My problem is with this error message, "The folder "iTunes" can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music folder."
My old hard drive is intact but when I place the My Music/iTunes file on to the hew hard drive I get the same message over and over. I have Googled the heck out of this one to no avail. I have tried many approaches to this issue and am beyond aggravation. Am I simply to accept that 42GB of music is gone? Or that I have to revert to my old hard drive just for iTunes...
Thank you...Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.

"The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created................
I have installed iTunes, but it doesn't open, it gives me the message:
The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created and is required to run iTunes.
The default location for this folder is "My Music"
no idea what else I can do. My computer did have the file Shared Music, but I changed the name of this file to My Music, but unfortunately this made no difference.
Please help.
Windows 2000Did you move your music out of the iTunes folder? iTunes gets snarky when you do that. Here, read this, it has some information that will be helpful to you in fixing your issue.

iTunes used to open with no issues, then suddenly did this upon launch. So I found every file associated with apple and whiped the computer clean; reinstalled then tried to open iTunes, with fingers crossed............no luck. I am stumped and frustrated. Don't know what to do next. Can anyone help me?
Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.
I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

"The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created..."
I'm getting this error upon opening iTunes:
When I try to open iTunes with the option key, it asks me to find a library. I can navigate to my library and see the file, but it is grayed out and can't be selected. Prior to this i had been getting an error about iTunes not being able to save the library, but I thought it was coming from my backup app.
Any ideas? I can no longer open iTunes or access my music or videos.
Thanks!OK.. I finally found an answer buried among a million other posts.
To fix this, click to open the iTunes app and immediately hold down the "Option" key. This will allow you to either create a new iTunes library file, or point the app to where the library is. In my case, I repointed it to the Music>iTunes folder where my library file was and this worked.
This is the link that helped me figure it out:

The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created and is required
i recently moved my folder "my music" to an External hard drive. Since this time, I have not been able to run iTunes without this error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software with no luck. I have also created a new folder called 'My Music' on the C drive with no luck either. Please HELP!
When I attached my new iPod, iTunes was able to start because there was a 'my music' folder on the iPod. I was then able to go to tweak ui and change 'my music' to the C drive.
that's interesting. in that case, it's plausible that it initially ended up there (instead of on the external) as the result of a drive letter confusion:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
(the issue does not just hit ipod connections. see the link through to the MS KB doc for more information on the possibilities with drive letter confusions.)
it's pretty rare, but i've seen versions of a drive letter confusion causing the "My Music" problem about three times before. -
i just bought a macbook air. ive been transfering all my songs from my external harddrive that i had on my previous laptop for itunes. now that i got them transfered. my itunes wont open. it says "the itunes library file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file is in the itunes folder in the music folder." what do i do!?!
How did you move the music? You have to do it in a specific way:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library. -
The folder "iTunes" can not be found...
Recently, I had two strange things happen to my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop.
1. My photos just disappeared.
2. My iTunes became unusable.
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times. Every time it says the install was complete. BUT when I try to open iTunes, it gives me the following message and does nothing. "The folder "iTunes" can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
- I even went so far as to create a My Music, which mysteriously disappeared. While downloading iTunes, I selected for the download to be saved in the new folder. When I open the folder, EVERYTHING iTunes is there, even the iTunes icon. But no matter what "The folder "iTunes" can not be found or created..."
Please help!

I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work.

The Folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created - ERROR!
I have been using iTunes for about five months and have loaded about 5500 songs onto it from my CDs. I've been on it A LOT! All of a sudden, it won't open and gives me this 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 reinstalled the software three times, the last time even putting it on the external hard drive I'm using to store my tunes (my hard drive on my computer doesn't have room for the 25GB of songs I have so far). No luck. PLEASE help! I have lots more songs to upload before I leave the country in a few months!!!!
Thanks,
matthiya!
