Thanks Davey. I tried restoring the registry but it didn't fix the problem. I did get an error message "cannot import. not all data successfully written to the registry. some keys are open by the system or other processess" The problem started before I ran the registry check anyhow. Alan_B: I agree with a lot of what say about apple on windows but the thing is its the only music player I have found that works the way I like. I do however use an old version because the new ones flood your system with irrelevent processess (apple: i don't have bloody iphone!). But either way the problem on this occasion is nothing to do with itunes but with the actual music folder. I tried deleting some of the 'a' folders and new ones appeared after Cameo. For some reason the music folder is only recognising around 350 folders and the rest aren't even registering as using memory - the music folder shows only 3 gigs when its more like 30. But the files are still there and can be played through itunes (or wmp). I'm seriously thinking about reformating..

Thansk for those but I've already been through them. I don't think the problem is with iTunes but with Windows. It just seems to be refusing to recogonise any more than 350 items in the MyMusic folder. I think the reason iTunes can't save to library is because Windows is hiding the iTunes folder with the library. I was wondering if CCleaner might have deleted something that has messed up the settings for the music folder.

Hi, I've run CCleaner a number of times now and never had a problem before (except it deletes cookies I ask it not to..??) but i've hit a few that i dont know what to do about. I ran the basic cleaner and since then my itunes keeps throwing up 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-48)' and every music folder in My Music after c has disappeared but is still visible through itunes. Also the Add/Remove Programs wouldnt populate. I thought maybe cleaning the registry would help and it seems to have fixed the add/remove issue but most of my music is still not visible. I don't understand why CCleaner would have messed with my itunes/music. Ive reinstalled itunes and it's still the same. thanks in advance.
