Installed Windows 8.1 and now iTunes is gone

I had been using the Windows 8.1 preview and itunes worked fine, but after "upgrading" to 8.1 Pro all of the software I had rpeviously installed had to be re-installed, including iTunes. However, every time I try to install it, it asks if I wish to "save File?" After I click yes it acts like it will but nothing happens. No crash message, no install messages. Nothing. Any ideas?

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

  • I ran a System Restore on my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes won't open. It says something about my "iTunes library being created in a new version of iTunes".

    I ran a System Restore in my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes will not open. The message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. What can I do about this?

    Depending on the iTunes settings and where the music is downloaded from, by default, it is stored in C:\...\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. So, if you need to backup, that would be the folder you want to grab.
    However, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes doesn't affect that folder, so if you have to remove and reinstall it you should not lose any music (although backups are always a good idea).
    In reinstalling, I'd recommend opening your Control Panel and going into Add or Remove Programs, and removing the following:
    1. Apple Mobile Device Support
    2. Apple Software Update
    3. Bonjour
    4. iPod for Windows (if it exists)
    5. iTunes
    6. QuickTime
    Then, restart the computer, and download/install iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. This should ensure that the appropriate version of all related software is installed, and everything is in sync.

  • I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itune is gone from my pc because it didn't download correctly

    I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itunes is gone from my toshiba laptop.  I get a message msvcr80.dll. Any suggestions why

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

    last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
    the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
    does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
    cheers.

  • TS1425 ipod nano won't synch, i plugged it in to computer after not synching for a long time and it wouldn't install a new driver and now itunes doesn't even recognize it when i plug it in

    ipod nano won't synch, i haven't purchased anything in a long time and haven't synched with the computer just charged on car charger. when i plugged the nano in it tried to install a driver and that failed and now the computer and itunes won't even recognize that the nano is plugged in.

    "The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:
    I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).
    I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.
    I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.
    In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.
    The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"

  • Cleaned installed Windows 7 (64bit) and then itunes 10.5 does not like older itunes purchased TV Shows and Movies?

    bringing my library across from my external harddrive, i have noticed that all my House episodes (amongst others) and some older movies will not show in my Library, is there a lack of sync with older files in itunes10.5?
    Any help would be much appreciated because this might question my belief in the itunes phenomenum in contrast to just owning a DVD?

    Got it working today. I waited until there wre enough messages posted from others in other threads to hopefully get a solution.
    I had originally not been able to load iTunes 10.5 64 bit on my HP. I did uninstall, I loaded an older version 10.2 and tried to upgrade it. Nothing worked.
    There was a post to another thread about removing QuickTime and then re-installing QuickTime. That did not work. I uninstalled QuickTime again. Then I found a post to uninstall the Appl Software Updater. I did that through Control Panel.
    Now my system had only iTunes 10.2 on it, no software updater, no QuickTime.
    I ran the full version of iTunes 10.5 (that you get at itunes.com
    It ran and when done installing all its components, it started iTunes. I checked the version in Help and it was 10.5.
    Not a very pleasant experience. Be aware that if you load an old version like I did, you will have to delete your music library that has an itl extension. This phone and computer had no music so it was not a problem. If you have a lot of music, I would not load an earlier version. Just uninstall all the stuff and do your install.

  • I installed Windows 8.1 and now cant get Flask Player to download - WhY?

    I am having trouble updating to the latest version of Flask Player.  It began after I installed Windows 8.1 yesterday.  I have followed the Adobe install steps, and it says I have Wiindows 8.0 already installed on my explorer then it tells me in another section that I don't have it installed on my computer(?). It is as though Adobe does not recognize 8.1 yet/

    Partly right. The site (like a great many - Facebook and Yahoo to name just two) isn't always recongizing Win 8.1 oe IE11.
    Microsoft recommends enabling Compatibility View for sites that have troubles with IE11 in WIn 8 or 8.1:

  • TS1538 I have just installed Windows 8.1 and now my ipad and iphone are not recognised in iTunes, can anyone help?

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Skydiver119,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
    Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
    Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
    Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
    Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • Reinstalled windows 7-64bit and now itunes wont open(although process runs)

    i have googl'd this issue and looked over all possibilities, however none have really shown progress except using msconfig. disabling all but windows functions did allow me to open itunes, but i have not been able to do anything with it. as i have still not been able to isolate what could be cause the interference. i have disabled anti-viruses(although at least to protective elements were running when windows started despite the msconfig) which changed nothing unless they were off as were all non windows processes.
    if there is any list or type of processes that would interfere it would really help, because installing a older version(as one forum said had worked with 9.03) did nothing just as my attempts with running it in compatibility mode.
    with not fully understanding how some of the startup elements are even differentiated in msconfig, i cannot really continue to try and isolate every single little thing. especially since the only thing that has changed since before reinstalling windows is at most the version of itunes.
    with as many posts as there were about how itunes(and not just this version) had screwed over many peoples ability to use it after updating... i would have imagined there would be some zeroing in on an issue that apparently keeps repeating itself, or at least an effective way to trouble shoot it.

    thank you for your response,
    i did go through and make these changes to the services, which did allow me to open itunes after than next restart. i dont recall turning off advanced system care amongst others during my msconfig troubleshooting making any difference.
    is reinstalling advanced system care just a hope that i could keep both programs if i reinstalled? or that installing it after itunes somehow cant alter or prohibit something that itunes needs to run?
    i will look into it, but i dont recall which extension of itunes is relevant to syncing ipods but if bonjour isnt that i may just leave it as is(unless leaving it disabled somehow hurts itunes in the long run).
    i dont have the time to do anything with reinstalling immediately but at least i can now run the program. i had no idea what advanced system care might have done(and if its being installed was enough to inhibit itunes as i also have gamebooster by them).

  • Installed windows service pack and now can't see igoogle content

    I recently installed a service pack for Office 32bit on my Sony Vaio. Now I cannot see any of my page content on Igoogle, or certain features on Ebay. I checked my popup filter, and even turned it off, and that didn't help.

    The updater's now built into iTunes, which came with a new version of the iPod's required background service, rendering all previous updaters void.
    To get to the updater, go to the iPod in the sources panel (left-hand side), and you should see the Update and Restore buttons.
