Problem with iTunes

[neljan]

Ok I see that you're using Vista, sorry.

Try creating a music folder in the same place where you see

contacts
desktop
downloads
links
pictures
videos
documents
favorites

And in that folder create an itunes one

I tried.... it says the same thing.

all those folders i mentioned are blue and have a little picture on them. when i try and create one its just a normal brown one. idk if this means anything just mentioning it.

[neljan]

And you've tried to move the original music folder back to this location aswell?

Did it not move back to it's original state? (a blue folder with a picture on it)

you know its kind of weird. I moved the music folder to the d drive. but when i click on the d drive it just has the contents of the folder. its like when i moved it it deleted the folder but moved the contents.

That is weird. You should probably look into replacing this folder but if you don't plan to use it anyway it shouldn't be vital, but bare in mind that most music related software applications will look to this folder by default for it's library or output for ripping etc so you'll need to change settings in other applications when installing etc.

You could try to reinstall itunes to your second HD.

Create a folder on your second HD & move your music to it (don't put any itunes folders or anything, just music).

Uninstall itunes from your system & reinstall it onto your second HD.

Worth a shot...

Just found this for restoring folders:

This is more specific to music folders

that would work perfect but i cant find the main music folder. and if i just create a folder called music it doesnt have the same properties as the original. i did notice though on the left side of my folders, it lists all the folders i have such as documents and video and stuf like that, and there is a music folder, and instead of a blue folder it has a harddrive image on it. if i try and right click on it and do the steps you sent me it doesnt have it either.

nelgan thank you so much. i finally got it figured out. if i pressed start it had my little istory of recent folders, and  when i scrolled over the hard drive looking picture it said "you can store music here" and i did the steps that the website said and it worked fine. itunes works fine. thank you so much, you deserve a gift basket or something. thanks so much

[neljan]

Yay! I'm so relieved for you!

My gift basket is being happy that you are happy!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!
