hi just got a new computer a couple days ago, and i just transferred my music onto my new computer (via putting the files onto my ipod then cut/pasting them) However when i try to access my "My Music" folder it crashes and an error message pops up saying that explorer.exe had come across an error. the other thing is that i can still get to my music by going through using itunes. I can still add the music files into itunes via that folder, but i just can't access it. I've searched on google and these forums, people have had similar problems but i have yet to see anyone that found a solution... Anybody encounter this before? Also could it be the amount of music i have (14gigs), but i know plenty people that fill up 60 gig ipods...

Hello Alex HO,

Is the music devided into folders or just a list of music?

Is the Music Actually copied over to your hard drive?

Download HDtune in my signature give it a run report back if any errors.

hi thanks for replying.

the music is just a list, also i managed to get into it by renaming the folder to just "music" i guess i technically found a fix but it still bothers me that i can't get into the folder if it is named "my music". I'm running the scan now will get back to you shortly.

okay i ran the test, but everything was green so nothing wrong with my hd, alothough it was running at a constant 53-55 degrees celcius, the alert kept telling me it was at a critical temp... will this be a problem, my new computer is also a notebook, hp says its an "entertainment notebook" so it doesn't exactly run at the coolest temperatures either...

Don't know if this helps, might be e different issue. Copy songs from iPod to new pc.

i attempted to rip songs off my ipod using a program but it ripped each song idividually and i have 14+ gigs worth, i didn't really feel like waiting...

edit* - just finished reading over the page, i don't think it allows me to get all my songs onto a folder where i can change and edit, i think it simply gives you your itunes library back. thanks anyways though.

55c is a bit high is this a portable or desktop.

[Alex_Ho]

its a portable, but that was only when i was running the scan on hd tune, now its an average of 42-44C, btw sorry it took so long to reply, didn't check emails in a while.

[anzenketh]

Ok those temperatures are fine. Is the issue still accruing? Is it just your music folder that has this problem or other folders too?

[Alex_Ho]

It's just the music folder, i can access it now since i renamed it to just "music", but if i rename it back to "my music" it does the same thing, don't know why...

[anzenketh]

Have you tried a system restore?

[Alex_Ho]

yeah i've already tried that.

[anzenketh]

Does it happen on other users?

[Alex_Ho]

not sure, i'm the only person that uses this computer, i'm going to make another s/n and try it though, update you later.

Something that can cause problems, if you have thumbnail view enabled and there are many files in a folder that can cause Explorer to crash.
