Installing Itunes on laptop windows 7 use to bit Windows XP

My question is... Why when i installed itunes for windows 7 my original songs in itunes coulsd not be located?  What does that mean? What am i doing wrong? Please help?? Thanks.

The way I solved this was to use the same iTunes library file on a shared Windows drive. That library contains everything I want to sync to the phone.
Since the actual paths on both systems are slightly different, the library file is rebuilt everytime you switch from one OS to the other, SO that usually only becomes a problem by not using the default Library location for the newer versions. Otherwise you may need to become handy with an XML editor from time to time. Or keep a good backup of your library file...

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • How do I install iTunes with a Windows 7 account that uses parental controls?

    I have setup a small computer for my daughter to use, running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've enabled Parental Controls through the control panel. So far, I've been unable to install iTunes for her. If I try running the installer as admin, when I try to run iTunes as her, I eventually get a message telling me that itunes64.msi was rejected by the digital signature policy. If I run the installer as her, I get a message saying the system administrator doesn't allow the app to run; I have added the installer to the list of allowed applications. Anyone know how to install iTunes in this case?

    If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

  • I cant install Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. (unspecified errors encountered)

    I have tried to install Itunes and Icloud on my windows 8 laptop. I have hunted all through the laptop and see no sign that any apple product has ever been on this laptop, yet iget errors during the install process that causes the installer to abort the install and go right to finish. I have tried to install Itunes repeatedly and it always fails at the same point. Icloud also fails to install. I get a message that says errors have been encountered, but no indication of what those errors are. can anyone suggest a fix for this? or tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

  • I cannot install itunes on my windows vista

    I try to install itunes on my windows vista, it gives me a error

    "iTunesSetup.exe não é um aplicativo Win32 válido"
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Install ITunes on A Windows 7 64 bit and get error message

    I am trying to install ITunes on A Windows 7 64bit and get the following error microsoft.vc80.crt,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publickeytoken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86"HRESULT:0x8007054F

    Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version? There are two versions of iTunes. One is for 64 bit processor architecture, one is for 32 bit processor architecture.
    Please download the 64 bit version and test it! In my view you try to install the 32 bit version.
    Kind regards!
    Philipp
    EDIT: I am sure you currently try to install the 32 bit version! It doesn't work on a 64 bit system. Are you sure that you use Windows with 64 bit?

  • Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes.  iTunes does not "see" the devise.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

    Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista).  iTunes does not "see" the device.  Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.  Also bought new USB cable.  The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.  Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

    OK.  You merely erased the content and settings.  The IOS is still there.
    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures.  From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • HT1926 Cannot install itunes Error 7, windows error 1114

    Cannot instal Itunes, Error 7, window error 1114 ???

    Hi!! I finally found a solution
    I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
    -First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
    -Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
    or google it
    -Install Unlocker
    -Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata% 
    -ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
    -Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
    -Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
    -Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
    -Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
    -Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
    -Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
    - Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
    -Reboot
    -Install Itunes
    Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
    ....and that's All
    AFTER Days of frustration LOL
    Good vibe, Love and Blessings for all!!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Unable to install iTunes on my Windows 8 PC

    I am trying to install iTunes (64 bit) on Windows 8 PC. In the middle of the installation, it throws up an error message like this
    I click ok, and proceed. It says, "Rolling back action". It then proceeds with the installation. When the status says - Starting Services, it again throws up a message like this:
    Retry keeps taking me back to this same screen again.
    If I click on Abort, it restarts the installation again, and I land up at this same page again.
    If I click on ignore, it shows iTunes successfully installed, but when I open, it throws these 2 error messages
    Can anyone help me in troubleshooting this issue?
    Any pointers in what could the issue be, would be of immense help.
    FYI, I am running the installer as an administrator.

    Hi Matt, and thanks Narayan for the question.
    I am running Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro (2012) via Parallels 8. After quite a bit of patience tested with patches and updates, everything worked fine. But as with Windows, after an update, there will be problems with programs. Running Parallels is very cool, but the downside and truth is that every now and then you will find that the Windows 8 virtual machine does not work as it would on a conventional PC. My iTunes (v11+) worked fine until it detected a potential conflict with another CD/DVD app I installed (either VLC or PowerDVD) and everytime I launched it, an alert would indicate that the Registry for iTunes has a problem as a result and that I should reinstall iTunes. I hesitated doing that because for the most part, my iTunes worked fine (synchs my iPhone 5 on Windows), while my Mac iTunes synchs my iPod Classic 160GB. Now, I have tried three times to down and install iTunes in my Windows 8 virtual machine but three alert window pop-ups appear, and all result in a failed installation. This means, I will not be able to synch my iPhone 5 to my Outlook for the time being and poses a real serious problem in my day to day lifestyle.
    First window alert after trying to open installation package:
    Because I had cleared my cache with the earlier version of iTunes installed, using Browse, I could not locate those files. So clicking OK, leads to:
    Then after clicking OK to clear this message, it leads to:
    I am not an engineer and can't tell what the software implication is for these messages. I suppose, it is a Windows and not a iTunes problem, and I may have to take this problem to a Windows Support community. But I just thought to post it here in case, someone has a solution and might just share it still.
    Now, I am going to try and remove my VLC program and try re-installing iTunes. But the way I understand the last two window messages, there seems to be a problem with the software trying to connect with Apple while the installation is taking place ("network resource") although my Internet access is definitely working at the time.
    Any ideas? Unless this is another Parallels 8 issue, and neither Windows 8 or iTunes!
