Trying to get iTunes to run after relocating the My Music's default path.

Ok. I just recently partitioned-off a section of my EHD & put all my music inside it. Next I relocated "My Music"s default location to that particular partitioned section of the hard drive, so it now go's straight to where all my music is.
Now I have also partitioned off another section of my HD so that all my future program installs, install there (including iTunes) instead of the default C: drive location.
My problem is, when I then installed Itunes, after installing it, It cannot open it & get this message....
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder."
Now is this because the My Music folder that use to be located in default C drive & is no-longer there, (+which it is mind you, just in a different drive+) Or is this because Itunes wasn't installed in default C drive to then find the my Music folder in the same drive that it "iTunes" was itself installed.
Moreover, what I really want to know is, where can I install iTunes so that it will find all my music & actually open & run finally. Remember I still have the the My Music folder located within my user, it's just being pointed to the partitioned HD to where all my music is.
My last thought is that I can install iTunes within the partitioned drive itself & it will hopefully execute & run from where all my music is. , but I really don't know. help?

You should be able to use the SHIFT-Open iTunes option to load your previous library from the ...\My Music\iTunes\ folder. If all your music was previously inside the ...\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder all should work properly in the new location. If you had links to other files stored below My Music, but not in iTunes Music, iTunes won't be able to find them and they would need to be reconnected to your library.

    Moving the /My Music/ folder will not prevent iTunes from opening. That only contains the iTunes library, not the application files. Moving that folder would only get you an empty library when you open iTunes.
    I suggest you reinstall iTunes.

  • I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account.  But only some of them have the cloud next to them.  The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

    I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download. This is the link for contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • ITunes not running after Safari and Quick Time update

    HELP NEEDED!!After updating to the latest version of Safari and Quick Time, i got this error message the next time I started my computer:
    "AppSyncNotifier.exe: The program can't start because CoreCoundation.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
    I tried to open iTunes but I can't. I tried to uninstall so I can reinstall but it I got another error message that said I do not have the rights to uninstall, etc. I am the only user of this computer and I have admin rights. This PC used to run on vista but I recently upgraded to Windows 7(x64) and I encoutered the same problem - i could not uninstall/reinstall iTunes because "I do not have permission"
    After upgrading to Windows 7 iTunes was running okay until the Safari and Quick Time update.
    I need to sync my iPhone and iPod but without iTunes I can't!!!
    PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!!

    What a strange collation of errors. Taken at face value, each of the three suggests a different problem. Working on an Occam's razor sort of principle, that one underlying problem is going to be more likely than a perfect storm of three different problems at once, I think we'd better try checking on troubles with administrative privileges first.
    Let's try doing a "run as administrator" on an iTunes uninstall first.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your desktop.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Since you've already got that version of iTunes installed, you should eventually get to a dialog asking you to repair or remove iTunes. Select Remove.
    Does that go through without the "Windows Installer" message?
    If so, reboot the PC and then try another "Run as administrator" of your iTunes64Setup.exe. Does Apple Application Support get installed for you properly this time?
    Thanks again b noir. Unfortunately, this suggestion did not work. When I did what you said, there was no option to "remove". I see the iTunes thing on my control panel-programs window, but it's no longer in the program (x86) folder on the c:/drive. iTunes on my computer is like gum stuck to my shoe. same goes for bonjour. Please be patient some more. Do you have any more suggestions?? I'm planning to get me an iPad but if I can't get iTunes to run properly on my computer I'm having second thoughts about it now.
    Thanks!

  • TS3212 I am trying to install itunes on my pc and the run window will not appear. I changed the pop-up blocker settings and I still can't see it?

    I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • So sick of trying to get iTunes 8.2 to work on Vista - 7 days of ****

    After downloading £50+ worth of new music/audiobooks and tv shows last week, innocently clicked on 'upgrade to 8.2'; (yes I backed up my Library and hard disk first); result, the last 7 days of **** trying to get iTunes and my iPhone to sync. I'm so sick of this bloody iPhone, iTunes and Vista, if I could go out and purchase a replacement to iPhone and iTunes I would without a second thought.
    I have tried absolutely everything posted on apple.com/itunes/support in the last 7 days - must have spent a good 4-5 hours a day over the last 7 days trying to fix this sodding fault.
    At this point, I'm considering going back to CDs, and the simplicity of just putting a CD on and playing it. It seems but a far away, simple approach to listening to music, compared to the sodding **** of trying to get iTunes to work on my Vista Laptop.
    So ****** off I'm thinking of getting rid of my iPhone (and yes I'm at the end of my contract) and going for anything that is Non-Apple.
    Anyone else had this delightful experience with iTunes 8.1 and 8.2?

    Read the iTouch forums and other iPhone forums... this is a big issue and a known bug. Apple contacted me right after I posted my issue. I downloaded it when it was released. My fix tonight was to downgrade to iTunes 8.1. This works for sure, so this is the only fix that I know truly works.

  • I'm trying to get iTunes 10.5 but my computer told me 'the signature is invalid'

    I'm trying to get iTunes 10.5 but my computer told me 'the signature is invalid'
    How can I solve this?

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,
    Peter

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  Tried everything.  Help!

    We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything.  I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine.  I'm at my wits end.  Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?  Thanks so much!

  • Cant get itunes to open after update.  have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times

    Cannot get itunes to open after updating.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions. 

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
