ATV photo sharing with iTunes 11 and windows 8???
I just got my ATV set up to share media with my iTunes library on my home PC. I also got the airplay mirroring to function with my ios devices, but I can't seem to get any of my photos to show up from my PC library.
The support FAQ's are out of date and reference iTunes 10.x
Within iTunes 11 using win 8 there are no menu options so to speak.
Do you already have installed Windows 8 Media Center? The Media Center contains missing features which are needed by iTunes 11. Details could be found on my blog.

Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista
I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
(serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! ) -
Error 1202 with iTunes Store and Windows Vista
When I try to redeem music on iTunes Store, or access my account, etc. I receive "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
I have read many similar posts and tried many fixes (checked time/date on my computer, made sure LAN proxy settings is unchecked, turned off my Norton firewall, tried to access iTunes Store in safe mode, etc.). None of these worked. Please help as we would like to purchase music from the iTunes store and have done so successfully in the past on this computer.This problem is related to having your computer, Apple device, etc
(from your current physical location) being unable to resolve/connect to
the following site/domain names and their related IP address(s).
The following table is presented to help explain/clarify this issue:
Site/Domain name | IP Address
phobos.apple.com | 17.250.237.43
deimos3.apple.com | 206.169.246.144
albert.apple.com | 17.149.240.64
gs.apple.com | 17.151.36.30
itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.171
ax.itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.139
If ANY of these sites/IP address are unresolvable (via PING for example)
then the ability/usability of Apple's iTunes (and the Store) will suffer.
To have yourself verify that (if) you can connect to these sites, you'll
need to open up a MSDOS/Command prompt window
and then type "ping" (without the quotes) and one of the (above) listed sites.
For example you would type the following at your command prompt:
ping phobos.apple.com (then press the return/enter key)
which (should) give you results like this:
pinging phobos.apple.com.akadns.net http://17.250.237.43 with 32 bytes of data:
Note: Anyt response other than "reply" (like Request timed out)
indicates a problem resolving the site's name to an IP address
and (generally) has NOTHING to do with your (normally functioning) computer
as this is dependent on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you are
using to connect to the Internet (like Sprint, Insightbb, etc) with.
The 'key' here is that it's the ISP's responsibility to (properly) resolve
the site's name to (one or more of) Apple's sites.
If (however) Apple (itself) is (currently) experiencing a DDOS attack
(Distributed Denial Of Service) upon one (or more) of it's sites, then THAT
would explain a possible cause of the problem.
However I stress THAT is NOT the problem since I can connect from my Insightbb
(ISP provider) at home but (currently) can not connect at work via their ISP.
This is (also) WHY the "tag" of the FQDNSN (Fully-Qualified DNS Name)
is listed as http://akadns.net since that is the ISP/Router resolving the DNS name!
I hope that this has helped shed some light as to WHo's problem this REALLY is,
and will help to stop the Apple-User 'finger-pointing' game in it's tracks!

Help! Epson Photo R200 with AP Express and Windows XP
Hello all. I need help with configuring my Epson R200 with my airport express and windows XP. This seemed to work absolutely seamlessly when I had a mac hooked up to it, but now that my company put me on a God-forsaken Dell Latitude it absolutely refuses to work. Anyone else out there have any clever ideas? I'm about ready to hurl it out the window. If no ideas, can anyone recommend an inexpensive printer with better compatibility? (this one is on the hit list with "some problems")
Many thanks - WendyI did, thanks for the help - but to no avail. It recognizes the printer, both in Bonjour and in the AE setup utility, and installs fine using Bonjour. However, when I try to print it searches for a long time, then dies on the vine and shows an error message. I have a good signal in my office, so I can't think of what might be triggering it.

IPod Touch gives BSOD with iTunes 8 and Windows Vista
For almost a year I have used my iPod Touch (v1.1.3) and Nano with Windows Vista and iTunes almost perfectly. This was until last week when I upgraded to v8.
Now iTunes still works well with the Nano but i get the BSOD when I try and plug in the Touch. I have never had the BSOD with Vista until now.
I have read that alot of other people are having a similar problem. Is there a fix to this? New driver?
Please tell me Apple are aware of this problem and generating a fix if its not already done.

Home Sharing with iTunes 9 and Vista
I just downloaded and installed iTunes 9 on both of my Vista boxes. I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature. I clicked on Advanced> Turn On Home Sharing. I enter my Apple account info and click Create Home Share. A box pops up that says Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "myusername". Please authorize this computer and try again.
So, I clicked on Store> Deauthorize computer.
Then, I clicked on Store> Authorize computer.
It gave me a pop up that says something like you have authorized two of your 5 available computers.
I tried turning on Home Sharing again and still got the same error that this computer is not authorized.
Then, I tried going to Store> Sign Out
Then Store> Sign In and doing the deauthroize/authorize process again.. still same results.
So, lastly, I tried going to Store> View My Account and deauthorizing ALL computers... so that reset my authorizations.
Then I signed out of the store, signed back in, authorized both machines... still I get the error on both that the computer is not authorized so it cannot turn on Home Sharing.
Any suggestions?in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.

Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.
Using Yosemite 10.10.1
Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
Any ideas?Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage. -
HT4557 Win 7 with iTunes, iPad3 and Home Sharing Problem
Hi All
I have a Windows 7 PC with iTunes installed and Home Sharing turned on. I also have an IOS 6 Ipad (New or 3) with sharing enabled. They are both on the same wireless network.
After a total uninstall and fresh instal of iTunes on the PC, all sharing works fine with all albums and artists displayed, and it plays tunes perfectly. Within a couple of days, the iPad only displays a small number of my albums, and they wont play. The 'loudspeaker icon' in 'Music' just skips down the list of songs, playing none.
I have tried, different versions of iTunes, different pcs (with Win 7), a different router but get the same issue each time.
Anyone know what is happening. I did only notice this after the compulsory download of IOS 6....
Regards
SjHI had the exact same problem between my two Windows 7 computers when I updated them to iTunes 10.1 - the shared library would show up on the side in iTunes, but when I attempted to open it, it would say it was loading for a while and then disappear.
I solved the problem by first turning off Home Sharing on both computers Advanced->Turn Off Home Sharing (act name).
I then deauthorized the iTunes account associated with my home share on both computers Store->Deauthorize This Computer...
I then reauthorized both computers Store->Authorize This Computer...
I then turned Home Sharing back on for both computers Advanced->Turn On Home Sharing
After following these steps, I am able to use home sharing again. -
After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

It seems that my images stopped sharing with Itunes some months ago and i am not sure if it is broken or a setting is turned off or what?
The integration between itunes and Aperture is messed up. It just doesn't work correctly. here's a test I did after having odd things happening with iTunes:
- Selecting *Favorites Only* in Aperture then quitting (allowing for the sharing preview function to complete) and restarting iTunes resulted in all albums disappearing - leaving only the top level categories (empty since they're not albums). Only way to get things back was to restart Aperture, select Show All, force one preview generation, quit Aperture and restart iTunes - I mentioned forcing a preview because that's the only way I was able to recover my album list in iTunes... go figure. Note that iTunes instantly deleted all my photos from Apple TV as soon as it lost the album list, but when the list reappeared (after the procedure I described) all my previous album selections were intact and syncing put everything back.
Another major annoyance: adding ANYTHING to Aperture (project, album, light table) will ALWAYS shift the selection in iTunes. It's as if iTunes relies on an album's order number and not its name to identify it. So everytime I import new images ( I work with dated projects) or create a new album, I need to make sure I visit iTunes as soon as I quit Aperture otherwise I end up with random or deleted images on my Apple TV.
These are very annoying issues and quite un-Apple like. And btw, nothing like this happens with iPhoto.
Maybe these tests will shed some light on your problems... -
Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not. -
I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop. I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop. I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again. Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again. I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.
Hello Courtney,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone. It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?
In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.
