Hello,

I just bought the iPOD TOUCH.

I have iTunes 8X, but it won't open saying .. "The folder "i Tunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.
The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."

What should I do now?

Please advice

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.5

Oh my God!!! I got my brand new 32GB 3GS a week ago, and had to get it activated at Carphone Warehouse! I have been non stop uninstalling, downloading, visiting the Bluewater Apple store, visiting PCWorld, and nearly crying as I used to have itunes but for some reason couldn't use it. YOUR ADVICE IS GENIUS!!

Thankyou, I can now show off my phone properly as I will be able to register it!!

Sorry, can someone explain more what to do? I tried it, created a new folder, moved the old files into it, but the tunes don't show up in my iTunes interface, and they won't sync to my iPod. What files do you put in this new folder? Just the music files? The other folders as well? Does it matter what you name it? What do you do with the old folder?

Hi,
having an absolute nightmare with my ipod for the past month!! I bought a new laptop a month ago with Vista on, but my ipod just will not sync properly. Everytime i try to sync, it sync's about 600 songs and then the itunes/ipod just freezes, and when i disconnect it by pulling out the USB lead the same message as above pops up (ie. the folder cannot be found).
I have tried everything i could think of over the past month to try and get it working (reinstalling itunes a few times / holding shift & itunes, then choosing a library / making sure the path name is corret / trying to sync one song at a time etc etc etc) but nothing will work!!!
Might someone be so kind as to have any ideas as to what i need to do here??

Thanks a mill!
