Can't Get Songs To Play On New Computer w/ Windows 7

I bought a new computer Friday that has Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes...but I cannot play the song previews or purchased songs. It shows the song loads, but it never progresses...stays at 00:00. I can play video previews, but no music.
Is ity an iTunes thing? QuickTime thing? Windows 7 thing?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I had the same problem after I installed Windows 7. My iTunes worked OK except when trying to play a track from my playlist or my Audio CD. Like you my slidebar never moved from 0.00 and I got no sound. The solution was to buy a more up to date sound card, one that is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Media Centre as well as iTunes. I changed from a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 to a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio and now I can play and hear tracks using iTunes. As your laptop is new I would assume that it has a Windows 7 compatible sound card but you never know it may not.
Hope it works out well for you,
Steve

You will want to install them from the installation media.

Hi chrisb75729216,
I checked with your account but could not find any order history so you might be using another email address on forums.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from old machine and then install Acrobat on the new machine by activating with the same serial number.
Please download Acrobat XI pro from here: Other downloads
If you have single user license, then remember that the software can be activated on maximum two computers, say your desktop at work and laptop at home.

Nano -- Can't Get it Working on a New Computer

My wife's Nano worked fine on my old computer, but I got a new computer and it's been a nightmare. I set up the new computer, and set up a new Ipod, which works great. I then tried to get my wife's Nano working...Iinstalled the old software on the computer, I entered the serial number, and said yes when it asked whether I wanted to associate this ipod with this machine. For a few minutes, I saw my wife's nano appear in iTunes. But then it told me that my library was too big to put all the songs on the Nano...when I hit cancel (intending to go back and check certain songs), things went downhill.
Now, the Nano just flashes "Do Not Disconnect" over and over, but the computer never recognizes it...the Nano doesn't appear in iTunes anymore, so I can't eject it. I've tried resetting the nano, restoring the software, turning off the computer, pressing "menu" and select for 10 seconds, this just resets the nano briefly but then it goes back to flashing "Do Not Disconnect" again.
I'd sure appreciate some help if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!!!!

Never mind, I pressed Menu and Select and held them for 10 seconds, and this reset somehow worked...the computer recognized the nano and began to synch properly

Computer died - anyway to get songs from ipod to new computer

My computer died - the hard disk crashed and we have no access to any data on the computer. We have about 250 songs on the ipod - and have downloaded itunes on a new computer. The songs on the ipod are both songs that were purchased from itunes as well as songs from our personal CD collection.
Is there any way to get songs from the ipod to the new computer?

You can try a couple of third party software packages to sync from your Ipod back to your Windoze installation of Itunes. I've provided some links for you here:

If these links don't work for you, just google IPOD to PC and you'll get the information to come up. I think these 3rd party conduits only run about $20. (Well worth the investment.) Good luck!

Computer ruined...can I transfer songs from IPOD to new computer...

So my computer was struck by lightning...and now I have a new one but cant seem to transfer the songs on my ipod to the new computer with new Itunes...is there anyway to do this? I didn't have my songs backed up (bad me)...do I want to transfer my purchased songs? can I get my IPod songs back on my computer?
Please help!!

Yes you can stop iTunes from auto opening. With your iPod connected go to the "Main" menu of the iPod on iTunes.
Remove the check mark in the first box shown.

Can't Get CS5 to work on new computer?

Old computer crashed and shop installed Photoshop CS 5 on new computer but only Bridge will work. When I click on CS 5 icon I get the message 'Some Application Components are missing from the Applications directory. Please reinstall the application.' Tried to use software to install but get indication the Serial Number is invalid. Chatted with Adobe but they no longer handle S/N problems. Since I am retired and only use CS5 for my personal use infrequently, the move to CS6 is not an option. I just want to get my copy to work. I did search the statement 'Some Application Component...application' but the solution started out 'Use Finder (what is that?) to go to Photoshop CS5://Application/Adobe Photoshop CS5' and that lost me. There has to be a better way to fix this. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Yesterday my frustration level was high after a chat with Abobe revealed that they no longer support serial number issues. As I lay awake last night I remembered that I had omitted information and probably had a way to solve my problem. First, my computer is a Windows 7 device I had built specifically for photo and film editing. Since I'm retired I got interested in Photoshop and started with CS 2, the Student edition. I took local school classes that taught using CS3 so I upgraded to CS3 a month before CS4 came out, and took another class. While everything I do is for personal use, I enjoyed the product and so when CS4 came out, I upgraded to it in 2010. I have the books for all versions, including some of Kelby's. So last night I realized that my CS4 and 5 versions are upgrades. This morning I found my copies of CS2, CS3 and CS4 software and thought one of those may have the Application that my CS5 is missing. What kept me awake was the quandry of either load the previous versions on my new computer without removing CS5, or remove CS5 and then start loadin CS2 or start with CS3 and then continue to load the following versions. The computer that crashed was new in 2008, and my records indicate I had CS2 loaded on it and removed it in 2009. CS3 was removed in 2010 and that was when I got CS5. Right now it appears that both CS4 and CS5 are on the new computer. Part of my concern about deleting CS4 and CS5 and starting anew with CS2 is the number of times each version had been loaded. Has the limit been exceeded?. Also, currently CS5 Bridge is working. Could I cause a problem if I delete CS4 and CS5 with Bridge? Checking the software for each version I know they are all the student version, which is what I started with, but I can't tell if CS3 is a full student version or an upgrade.
Now I need help. Delete CS4 and CS5 and start over, or load CS2 and CS3 without removing those 2 and see if I have a serial number problem. Glad I didn't upgrade to Windows 8 on the new computer! It could be worse.Thanks

Can't find songs after transferring to new computer

I just moved my itunes library to a new computer and can't open any of my songs that were not purchased from the Itunes store. How to I add them?

Have a look at this article and see if it helps.

HT1349 I switched computers (running Windows 8.1, 64 bit).   I authorized my new one.   There is no content in my library.   How can I get my library to my new computer?   I cannot deauthorize my old computer.   It died.

I switched computers.   New one runs Windows 8.1, 64 bit.   I authorized it in iTunes.   I am unable to see any of my library.   I cannot unauthorize my old computer, as it died--hence the new one.

I have only been running iTunes for a very short time, so it was not backed up.   I know my library is toast.   I can recreate that.   But I should still be able to recover my purchased songs.   There is only music involved, no movies or other media.   Still have an answer? Thanks.

Can't put songs from iPod onto new computer

I just purchased a new computer, and would like to upload my music files from my iPod onto it. My computer recognizes the iPod, but won't let me copy songs to my computer. Does anyone know how I can do this?

You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

HT1386 It says that I can be recognized on up to 5 computer. Well I don't have any of those computers any more. How can I get it to recognize the new computer that I am on?

I need some help on being able to sync my computer with my Iphone. It says I can do up to 5 computers and that I already have my limit. Well I have a new computer and don't have any of those 5 computers any more. What can I do?

If you don't have any of those computers you will have to email iTunes store support to reset your account. If you have just one of them, open iTunes, go to the Store menu, and choose to deauthorize all computers on the account.
