My new computer with Windows 8 will not recognise my ipod..

Has any one had problems with Windows 8 recognising a 4th generation ipod. When I go to itunes it wont sync.

Try one or more of the following:
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
Reset iOS device (will NOT delete everything)
Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if iTouch shows (should show as a digital camera)
Restore iOS device (will delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up to date.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Hope this helps.

New Laptop with Windows 7 not recognizing my iPod

I have iTunes loaded (I used a USB transfer) and now I'm trying to charge/update my iPod, but when I connect it to the laptop nothing happens. I've rebooted. I've put the iPod in disk mode. I've tried all three USB ports on the laptop. Nothing. The cable works because when I plug it in with the iPod to a regular outlet, it starts charging. My previous computer had Windows XP. I've been searching online for about an hour without any solutions to this problem. I have the lastes iTunes update loaded (9.0.2.25)

Problem Solved! Posting in case someone else has same issue. It was so easy once I found the right solution. I uninstalled all the USB controllers, then rebooted the computer. When it came back up, it reinstalled all the USB controllers. When it was done, I plugged in the iPod and TADA...it began to sync, iTunes came up, and my iPod was recognized. Hallelujah!

My new computer with Windows 8.1 will not charge and will not disply playlists

My new computer with Windows 8 will not charge my iPad and iPods. Also iTunes will display the music on the Apple devices but not the playlists

Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
I have tried a different USB to no avail. Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue.
I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled. Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
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
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.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I am using InDesign CS 3.0.1 with Windows XP. I am getting a new computer with Windows 8.1. Will my version work with this? If not can I get an upgrade?

Probably won't work. You can buy a full license for CS6 which is already two versions and soon to be three out of date or you can subscribe to Creative Cloud.

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but a message pops up saying "the itunes library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file. How do I fix?

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

I need to move my thunderbird email from an old XP to a new computer with windows 7. I have my UserName but not a password

I do not know how to move my T B email account from my old XP system to my new computer with Windows 7. I know my user name but do not know my pass word for the T B account

All you normally need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on one computer into User's Music on the other. You can use a network share or an external drive to help with the move. Move the library before installing iTunes.
See this migrate iTunes library post for more details and strategies for when the library isn't in the usual layout.

What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

What a pain -on a mac- never had aproblem- loaded a new shuffle with music - will not let me sync itunes store bought songs- will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

How can I transfer my music from my iPod (4G Touch) to a new computer with windows 7?

Help. My old computer crashed and all my music from my CDs is still on my iPod but I need to get it into itunes onmy new computer with windows 7. I have found a number of procedures online that apparently work for earlier versions of windows but i can't figure them out for windows 7. Any suggestions from folks who have solved this proble would be appreciated.

- Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- To transfer other music you will nee a third-party program like those discussed here:
Copy music
- If you have synced photos then you will have to use a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. Those also do music
- Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup does not contain synced media like app and music.
