When installing-Keep getting message that folder "iTunes" can not be found

I am trying to install itunes on my ipod 32, 3rd generation on my Windows XP and keep getting the message "the folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location of this is inside the "My Music" folder."
When I look inside the folders, everything seems to be there. I don't know how to fix this.

    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...

    Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

    Perhaps something is blocking twitter.com on your network.
    Try using [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff961507%28WS.10%29.aspx tracert] command to see if that's the case.

  • 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 Mkitz

    the best place to start with that one 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 procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • 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!

  • Is there a problem with iPhone update server, I can't seem to update my IOS on my wife's 3GS iPhone, keep getting message that the server is not reachable, yet I am connected to internet and had no problem syncing the phone or downloading iTunes software

    What's up with the iPhone update server. I have repeatedly tried in recent days to update the IOS software on my wife's 3GS iPhone but keep getting message that the iPhone update server cannot be contacted. The phone syncs normally and I am sure I am connected to the internet properly. Also I have successfully updated ITunes software during this same time frame.  What gives??

    Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and look at this section.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors: 
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file.

    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

    How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
    If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

  • The message that comes up says that the server can not be found ...why does this keep happening?

    I continually get the message that the
    'server can not be found at this address. Check to make sure that the address is typed properly etc. etc.'
    When I try to use Internet Explorer with the same info there is no such message. Why

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • "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.

    Did 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.

  • When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

    What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
    iTunes: 10.5.2.11

  • When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported no installed apps. In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run

    When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
    In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
    How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
    And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
    Peter

    I still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
    Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe.
