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

So this still didn't work for me. I installed Itunes on someone elses laptop and it is not reading my ipod's music folder, saying it is synced with another computer. I don't want to erase my music :( I tried making a backup CD and I can't do anything without the computer reading my music files. Itunes will play the music straight from the ipod but it won't show me my library...WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! I'm ripping my hair out over this!!!!
