HELP! I NEED TO FIX ITUNES ISSUE.

I have a problem.
My wife's Windows 2000 box has a really bad virus on it and I am going to have to F-disk the C: drive and re-install the OS. I have two questions.
1. Best method of backing up the Itunes files. I need to make sure nothing happens to her songs or she will be very upset.
2.I was thinging about this and wondering if this is a possible fix ?
What if I F-fdisk hard drive and re-install OS " WIN XP" and download ITunes and then hook up my wifes Ipod. will that transfer all the songs to the new Itunes download ?
Please advise I have to wake up in 8 hours to start this task! I have to have my wifes computer up and running by 12:00 noon.
Thanks in advance.

+Best method of backing up the Itunes files.+
The best method is to back up periodically to an external hard drive. Well, you asked.

Sort of. Getting songs from the iPod back to iTunes is possible but is trickier than your words imply. The procedure is posted on this forum several times a week so search and you will find it.
+I need to make sure nothing happens to her songs or she will be very upset.+
We wish you luck.

Ok so I am having issues with charging my iPad as well. So I took advice from this forum and yes, if you turn the brightness down my iPad charges. Thanks Apple I just went and spent money on a new charger I didn't need. Really you need to fix this issue.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue. My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

Please help, desperately need to get iTunes back on my computer

Hello all, I will make this as short as possible.
I just installed a new, larger and faster HD on my Dell Inspiron 5150. It is the same brand as the other and is working fine. I use backup software and retored my HD to the same condition that it was in before the change. I started iTunes and retrieved my Podcasts and even loaded a CD on it. I was in the process of backing up the HD and I wanted to load the podcasts and CD onto my iPod. It would not connect to iTunes no matter what I did. I stopped the backup and it still would not connect.
I decided to re-install iTunes, went to the Apple site, downloaded the program and it would not install over the old version. I then deleted the older version using add/remove programs and tried to install. When I click on <<Run>>, I get a flash on the screen of Quicktime and then nothing. I then deleted Quicktime from the HD and the same thing kept happening.
I came here and saw a post about Norton so I disabled that and again the same. Then I saw a post about installing Quicktime first, same result. I can see <<quicktime>> and a progression bar for only an instant each time. I am rebooting between all these tries by the way.
Can anyone PLEASE help me to get my iTunes back. I do not have a disc. Can I buy one at Best Buy?? Everything is running fine but it just will not begin the installation.
If there is a solution on this board already, please point me to it. I need iTunes, I don't think I can function without it?? what could have gone wrong??? Again Please, PLEASE help me out.
Thanks so much in advance. I will keep searching for answers in the meantime.
Mike (PLEASE HELP)

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

2.3 doesn't fix iTunes issue

it seems the 2.3 update did not do much to fix the one problem many seem to be having with iTunes not recognizing Apple TV in devices.
on the Apple TV, I am able to view YouTube videos, look at movie trailers online, rent and buy movies and TV shows, and even see my MobileMe photo galleries, BUT iTunes still does not see the Apple TV in devices which pretty much renders the ability to sync music and video completely useless. It sure doesn't make sense why some users have this problem and some do not, but from what Ii've read on these posts, its a major issue that Apple seems to be ignoring. I've tried all the suggestions for a fix with nothing creating a solution.
Apple, you need to address this. Why has this been ignored for weeks? and for some, its been months?

I am exactly the same situation and have almost given up after three or more months.
It seems that Mac has been doing so many tv commercials with PC that perhaps he inherited a virus from PC and is now as error prone, bug infested and disinterested as PC ever was. Maybe its time for Mac to put on his courderoy jacket and pocket protector!
Hope those of us in this bind keep posting and hopefully someone will land on a solution.

HELP! Need txt ouput, but issues with repeating frames...

In my data model, I have one main query, and three data linked queries. It IS a complex report, but I need to make it so that the user can output it to a delimited text file. I know how to do this, but when the report is printed, the rows are all mangled. If I PDF it, it's nice and pretty... one row per record. In my paper layout I have one parent repeating frame, which holds all columns, including 3 columns from the three data linked queries. Please help. Although I've written here before, I've never received a response, so I'm hoping this time will be different. Thanks.

I've read this document and that didn't solve my issue. I'm sure it has to be something others have done in building reports. A little more detail perhaps to help you help me:
Queries: 4
Main to get list of all students
3 other for attendance details (excused, unexcused and lates)
Paper Layout View:
1st layer: Frame
2nd layer: Repeating frame that holds all student info +
3rd layer: 3 more repeating frames for the 3 data linked queries that tells me if a student has missed any days.
PDF works great as an output, but it's needed an a delimited export or spreadsheet, both of which scrambles my 3rd layer numbers on different rows. I'm stumped. Again, any help would be great here.

Only firefox is reporting my SSL certificate as revoked. How can I fix this issue?

I have recently re-keyed and re-installed an SSL certificate on my server (https://beta.alicorsolutions.com:2087) running WHM on linux.
The SSL certificate is passing all the 3rd party SSL tests (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=beta.alicorsolutions.com) and works perfectly fine in Chrome and IE. However, in Firefox I get an error page that says: "Peer's Certificate has been revoked. Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate".
After doing some searching, I can see that the problem is specific to firefox and the only way everyone else seems to be fixing the problem is by turning off OCSP under Preferences > Advanced > Validation.
This of course is not an acceptable long-term solution. I need to fix this issue as quickly as possible, ay help at all would be appreciated. Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would assist you in solving this issue.

hello jcsarda, it's only working in chrome because its security settings are more relaxed per default (when you set chrome to check for certificate revokation in settings > advanced > HTTPS/SSL it shows the same error for me). i don't know about IE...

I can no longer adjust the width of the Bookmarks Sidebar, how do I fix this issue?

In the past I could hover my mouse arrow over the slider vertical bar to the right of the sidebar and get a 2 headed arrow that I could use to adjust the width of the Bookmarks Sidebar but that stopped working. I need to fix this issue. What do I need to do?

Maybe something you installed to Firefox messed up that feature.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Lightroom 5 will not sort images properly, either by file name or capture time. How can I fix this issue?

I am using Lightroom 5 with OSX 10.9.2 and the sorting feature is not working properly. When I try to sort my library by file name or capture time, it does not sort properly. The order of images is mixed and stays that way, even after reboot. The file information is correct, the sorting is the only issue. The library is approximately 6,000 images and I am also using a plug in with the Publishing Service feature. Any help on how to fix this issue without losing my editing work done on the library would be appreciated. Thanks! Dan

Thanks! I'm trying to sort by capture time or file name, and neither sorts correctly. file names 3450, 3451, etc. before files 0234, 0235, etc. It makes no sense. Same with capture time. Times are accurate in meta data, but sorting is just wrong. I'm using a ShootProof plug in that is only used for uploading files to the web. The issue is in the main library folder, so I'm not sure the plugin has anything to do with it. Any sort I seem to choose: capture time ascending order, file name descending order, whatever, yields a different yet inaccurate sort. The below sort is flagged, by file name ascending order. This is the bottom of the list where it goes from file brigitte_terry_w6408... to brigitte_terry_film_0039... to brigitte_terry_w2825... Regardless of the 'film' file, the w2825... files should be displayed above w6408. Thanks for any help!

When openning itunes, I get a message saying I need to reinstall itunes if I want to burn cds. I already tried removing and installing lates itunes version but does not help. Does anybody know anything about fixing this issue?

I cannot burn cds from itunes. Every time I open itunes i get a message indicating i need to reinstall itunes. I have already done so but it's not working. I still cant burn cds. Does anybody know how i can fix this? My windows media player burns cds just fine.

I am having this same issue with Windows XP. The exact message that I get everytime that I open iTunes is :
The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers forimporting and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. I also have a problem with iTunes randomly opening itself.
