After a disk crash. I tunes does not see the file with my music in it.  How do I fix this?

Windows 7 PC.  Disk crash.  Restored disk.  Reinstalled itunes.  I tunes does not see my music.  Music is in a folder called myipodmusic.  Has sub folders for artists, below artists has files for songs.  Any ideas??  Actually itunes sees my music titles, just does not play the song.  Says cannot find file. I can direct it to file, but there are 5,000 of them.  Help?

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
    Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

    Visual Voicemail is all carrier side, funny enough. Apple can't really do anything to troubleshoot it because it's outside of their realm. Be sure to contact your cellular carrier for further assistance

  • I re-installed Firefox on my laptop; but other users did not get the program installed under their log-in; how do I fix this?

    I recently un-installed Firefox on my Windows Vista laptop; when I re-installed it, the program is only available to me (the administrator of the laptop); two other users are not able to use the program. I've tried "right-clicking" on the Firefox icon, clicking on Properties, then Security, and adding the two other users to the list, but after clicking on "apply" and then "OK", the other users still don't have access to the program. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    First and foremost, learn punctuation and capitalization so we can read what you're writing properly.

  • "could not backup the iphone because an error occured." how can I fix this?

    My iphone will not backup to my computer, when I try it says "could not backup the iphone because an error occured. how can I fix this?

    Hello there Justin,
    I found a nice lil gem about troubleshooting backup issues with iTunes from an iOS device. Named iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529.
    Here is a general over view of what the troubleshooting will entail. Each section has instructions in the article.
    Simply restarting the computer and the iOS device may resolve a backup issue. After restarting, attempt to restore again. Learn how to restart your iOS device.
    To perform the rest of steps in this article, you need to be logged in to the computer as an administrator. If you're not sure if you have administrator access, contact the owner of the computer or the system administrator.

  • I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically come up so I can log in, how do I fix this?

    I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store.  What do I do now?

    Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

  • HT3209 My computer meets and exceeds the requirements to watch HD 1080p movies,why does it say I cannnot watch the file may be to large and how can I fix this??

       How can I fix the topic question.I can watch HD movies all day using my Bluray Player why can't iTunes let me watch the movies in 1080p and why does it say the movies are to large.

    This is for the Windows 8-8.1 users out there:  If you have the Pro version of Windows 8 and just recently upgraded to 8.1, Microsoft automatically includes a Virtual Machine package called Hyper-V client.  It doesn't ask you if you want to install it, it just does.
    This may also apply to Windows 7 users who may have inadvertently installed some version of Hyper-V on their computer.
    The Hyper-V package installs a secondary video driver that breaks HDCP, which means you can't play HD movies even on a compliant system.  You need to get rid of it.  To do so:
    Go to Control Panel
    Programs and Features
    Turn Windows Features on or Off
    Uncheck "Hyper-V"
    Reboot.
    This applies to almost anything that requires HDCP, so if you're having trouble with Blu-Rays or Amazon Prime, that's likely the culprit.
