 * Forum Rules: Don’t Bump
 * if it’s a new installation it is generally not there by default. if your hosting
   is having issues creating the directory. create it yourself, and make sure it
   has write permissions (755).

 * Are you hosting your own wordpress?
 * If you have an FTP account, login with whatever FTP client you use, navigate 
   to the /wp-conent/ folder. There should be a create directory function in the
   FTP client, call this ‘uploads’, right click it, go to the properties and make
   it write. Again this differs per FTP client, but you should see a series of tick
   boxes, and a 3-4 digit code. When you tick the boxes the number increases, ensure
   it is set to 755.

 * I use godaddy. Sorry, but I have no idea what your talking about. I bought a 
   theme and it gave me instructions to upload a jwplayer under the wp-content/uploads.
   but i have no idea where that file is located.

 * Riiiight…
 * *shrugs*
 * Contact GoDaddy for assistance in creating the directory then. If you have a 
   hosting account, they most likely provide support. Log an issue with them on 
   their support site.
