    Itunes Error : The folder itunes cannot be found or created

    Hi,

    I am running Windows Vista 32bit, some time ago I purchased an Ipod Touch. I download and install Itunes but when I run: Itunes Error : The folder itunes cannot be found or created" This is the default folder inside the Music folder. As usual, when I have a problem, I rushed to the aid forum but I is not found the solution. However I think that itunes does not recognize my Music folder because I had to delete and recreate. So I guess that the solution to my problem is to reinstall the Music folder as system folder.Thank you for your responses.

    I found the solution if you did not!

    1. Start> Run ...
    2. Type Regedit
    3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    4. Verify that the following key you have the right values: - My Music
    5. These keys are of type REG_EXPAND_SZ
    6. Put the Opposite values location as for the other key change in My Music.
    7. Then I create the Music folder and it works
    8. 4. Check that there is an entry for "My Music" and point to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music or C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music
    9. (You can edit the value by double click)
    10. 5. Close RegEdit
    11. 6. Restart

    I had the same problem and I had several times because my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive. Here's the solution: hold down the shift key when you click the shortcut to iTunes. A window opens and offers you to choose either a library (useful in my case file lost) or to create a new (new scan necessary).

    I had a trick: I created a "normal" folder "My Music" under "My Documents" Then I tried TweakUI, and opened the file "LW / Paths. Then I selected in the system folders "Documents" and choose "Modify" Just a warning pops up, but which I ignored. I defined a new path for the System folder files might be my new folder "My Music" After a reboot, I launched iTunes - it worked!!
