Hello,

I am unable to open iTunes. A pop up window reads: The iTunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found. I have tried the press and hold shift key and launch method to no avail.

Any takers?

Press and hold on the shift key then run the Itunes , the menu will ask you to create new library , follow this , it will sort it out your problem.

This worked - I went to the iTunes directory and did right-click and Run As .... Current User but took off the check box to Protect my computer. It had to spend some time rebuilding my library, but this worked great !!!!
