Backing up itunes with windows 7
I am unable to back up my itunes music with the latest version of itunes and find there are no ready solutions in the help sections. Will going under Library - export library accomplish this for me- and If i import from this export will it work? I preferred the older versions of itunes where it was easier to select what & where to back up to.
See this User tip for a backup strategy.

Continually get a message saying "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please try later" when trying to set up allowances. Not very helpful. Any ideas. I am running the latest itunes with Windows 7 Professional.
Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
"I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all. -
How do I install itunes with Windows 7?
how do I install itunes with Windows 7? I always get a Windows Installer error or administrator error __
Have tried: download but do not install iTunes, then turn off virus protection and firewall, restart computer, login as admin, then run the iTunes insallation. After it installs, restart virus protection and firewall and logout and back in as standard user.
Windows leaves installers running or still resident which conflict with the iTunes installer. -

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????
How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

Can't burn a cd in itunes with windows 8
When I try to burn a cd in itunes with Windows 8, I get unknown error 4310. I am able to burn music and text files with
windows but not itunes. I believe there may be registry errors and compatiblity issues with Windows 8 and Itunes.
Other errors I received when I tried to fix the problem are disk burner and software missing and disk recording missing.
I have consulted with Dell and ATT ConnectTech and no one seems to be able to solve the problem. I have uninstalled
itunes and reinstalled itunes several times but still cannot burn cd with Itunes with windows 8...Anyone who has
faced this problem and solved it I would love to hear from youI don't have much help, but yes, I did burn a CD in iTunes 8. Had some problems--different from yours--and got help from my Apple Care...although they wanted me to write an e-mail to the Apple Store for help (I insisted that Apple Care should cover it and I wanted to talk with someone. Eventually, I got someone in the US). I also turned off the Genius. Don't know if that helped or not.

My ipod does not apprear in itunes with windows 7
my ipod does not apprear in itunes with windows 7 any ideas
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts. -
To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?
Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
michel p.I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it. I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it. -

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 the 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.

Refer this article to reset Winsock to it's default. Your PCTools may have inserted LSP.

After reset and restarting windows, you may get a prompt to remap LSP, click no. -
I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?
First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem. -
Unable to install iTunes with Windows 8.1
Last month, iTunes was working great and then it said it was incompatible with my computer. Due to this, I was forced to uninstall the program. Now when I try to reinstall iTunes, it rolls back the install and says: "iTunes installer complete. Errors occured during the installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again." If I run the installer again, the same message will come up. I would like to sync my phone! Please help!!!
ThanksSee Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Currently running OSX 10.7.5 and Windows 7, along with newest version of iTunes 11.x
My iTunes and music files are on the Mac partition, and I wanted to be able to access my library from the Windows side. I installed iTunes and copied the iTunes library files over from my Mac side to the Windows side. I had iTunes open the library and changed preferences so that it pulls the music files from the Mac side (E:) and doesn't make any changes to the library. It works fine.
Now, my problem is in regards to keeping the library up to date with the Mac side. If I add a song on the Mac side (and yes, I want to use this as the "master" side), I would like it to show up on the Windows side. I read a post on here from a year or so ago that described creating a .bat file that would automatically copy the Mac library files to the windows side, replacing the old library files each time Windows booted. After some reading (don't have a lot of experience with Windows Command Prompt), I was able to write a .bat file that accomplished this.
My problem is that while it updates the files correctly, it resets my iTunes preferences such that iTunes now looks for my music files on the Windows side, and re-checks the boxes re: keeping the music library organized etc. When I manually change the preferences back, it has to update the library (I assume re-connecting all the library pointers to the actual files), but the new songs are there.
Is there a way to keep the iTunes preferences the same so that it doesn't have to re-connect all the files every time, and it just updates with the new stuff? I assume I just don't know enough enough about how iTunes library files work, but I read somewhere that the preferences were kept in \Local Data, and not in the iTunes folder. Thanks in advance.If both computers are on the same wireless network, it might be most straightforward to just use Home Sharing to copy the music from the Windows PC to the MacBook Pro:
Understanding Home Sharing
It means having a copy of the content locally on the MBP ... but from a backup perspective, that's not such a bad thing.
