Help with Itunes and my 1st gen. Ipad

Let's just say 1st of all that I have learned a a very big lesson about running programs from an external hard drive. I have Itunes set to run from my external and I am having a problem with it being corrupt and that is another issue that I am getting fixed. Anyways I uninstalled Itunes and re-installed it to my hard (C:)drive. When I go to plug my Ipad in I keep getting an error message of Itunes library .itl cannot be read, created by newer Itunes version. I uninstalled Itunes again and went back to download an older version. I got the same error. Does anyone happen to know what I can do to get my Ipad to work with Itunes again. I am running Win 8 64 bit. on my laptop.
Thanks for the help!!

Hello casinojen,
I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

Help with itunes and ipod

I want to copy some songs from my ipod to my pc, but I don`t know how to do it.
My ipod isn't syncronized with my library and I don't know which other way to do it.
I just downloaded iTunes 7, but I think there area few bugs.
The PREFERENCE window is way to big and I can't save hte changes.
please, if anyone can help me!

"I want to copy some songs from my ipod to my pc, but I don`t know how to do it."
If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

PodPlayer Windows Only

"I just downloaded iTunes 7, but I think there area few bugs. The PREFERENCE window is way to big and I can't save hte changes"
Click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.

Hello! no, you haven't stumped the pros. This is a user board. No pros here to stump, just volunteers.
Shuffles are only designed to sync with one PC. Connect it to your PC and restore it to factory settings. Eject it. When your wife connects it to her PC, it should get recognized.

Need help with Itunes and IPod Shuffle

I have the latest updates for both Itunes and the IPod Shuffle. I have Itunes on two different PCs, one for the wife and one for myself. I got a new Nano and gave my wife the Shuffle I had and she gave her shuffle to a friend. Everything has worked just fine in the past. When she plugged in my shuffle it asked if she wanted to sync to this PCs library and she said yes. Everything went fine except that no files will copy to the shuffle. It seems to take a VERY long time to sync as well. I tried dragging a song or a playlist but it just sits in sync mode for a long time and then when it's done there is no music on the shuffle. I don't understand the problem. When I attach the shuffle to my PC it asks if I want to sync to the library and everything works, files transfer, no problem. Putting back on her PC and going through the resync business again results in the same situation. Help!

I need help with iTunes and iPad!

I need to transfer my magazine subscriptions to my new mini iPad from my old iPad. Can't do it. Already connected to iTunes. Still isn't working.

If you are using a Mac computer, first you need to download the iBook App from the Mac App Store. After the installation import all magazines to iBooks, then you will be able to sync your books on iTunes. iTunes no longer let you import books or pdf, you do this in iBooks, then select the books tab from iTunes to sync (selecting your ios device).
If you are using windows... I have no clue .

Need Help with iTunes and Windows 7

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell laptop and tried to install iTunes for my iPod and iPhone. The first time I tried it out it ran smooth as anything, but if I'm connected to the net things start to go downhill. At my flat in University (no internet connect) it ran fine, but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now, but obviously dont want to have to do this again and again...
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance
Dan

but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
What security software are you running on the PC, Dan? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)

Help with iTunes and Windows 8

Hi. I just upgraded to Windows 8. Somehow all my iTunes music transferred to Xbox Music instead of to the the iTunes application. Does anyone know how to transfer the music back to iTunes? I also tried to sync my iPhone to my desktop, since my iPhone has all the songs, but I could not find out how to do that either. HELP!
Thank you!

Help with Itunes and Windows ME please

I have a Nano and use it with Windows XP with no problems. We purchased a 3rd generation Nano for my parents and their computer is several years old and uses Windows ME but the Itunes site says it is only for XP and Vista. What alternatives do I have other than to tell them to buy a new computer?

Thats true but...
Lets say you had the minamum requirments for me then you would need to upgrade the Hard Ware. XP is really cheap now so its worth the xtra bucks.

Need Help with iTunes and buying

Well, I just bought a few songs on itunes. I clicked the button next to "Eric's iPod" and it disappeared! Now I can't listen to the songs because I don't know how to get the songs in my iPod. Please help me!

You maybe ejected the iPod. Try disconnecting then reconnecting the cable. Does your iPod show in iTunes now?

I've figured things out.
