Computer crashed can not access itunes

Our computer recently crashed and our itunes is not able to be accessed. How can we transfer the music from our ipods to a new computer?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above works for iTunes store purchases. for everything else (e.g. CD rips), check out this post by Zevoneer.

    Can anyone help me on this problem?

    ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

  • Can not access itunes, receive runtime error

    can not access itunes, receive a runtime error box

    Hi there,
    Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files THEN folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.

  • Can not access itunes store..was always able to until a few days ago

    I am using windows XP and since I downloaded the latest version of itunes I am not able to access the itunes store.  I have tried to turn off the pop up blocker, add itunes to my exception list in my firewall and several other fixes listed on other sites...all to no avail.  I even removed itunes completely from my computer and reinstalled it but nothing works.  Any thoughts???

    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset and are running any kind of net monitoring software like Bsecure, Net Nanny, AVG Family Safety, Safe Eyes, Covenant Eyes, Norton Online Security etc... I would suggest that you try uninstalling said software and reinstalling iTunes 10.5 to see if that corrects the issue.
    Refer to article TS4123. Follow the step to identify which software in your system is the culprit and uninstall it.
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Last Modified: November 28, 2011
    Article: TS4123
    Symptoms
    You may notice the following symptoms after installing iTunes 10.5 for Windows:
    iTunes is slow to respond
    Windows is slow to respond
    iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Some processes installed by iTunes are using up a lot of resources in the Windows Task Manager.
    iTunes Store looks empty and white as shown below:
    Products Affected
    iTunes Store, iTunes 10 for Windows
    Resolution
    Look for modifications to Windows by:
    Running MSINFO32 by choosing either Start > Run, or using the search box to search for
    Once it is open, expand Components and then expand Network.
    Click Protocol. The first value should look like this:
    However, if you find a value that is more like this, it indicates that there's an LSP (Layered Service Provider) monitoring your computer:
    "<LSP Info>" is variable and may specifically mention a software suite, or appear to be a meaningless acronym
    Scroll through the list on the right and look for any LSPs that have been installed by third-party software. By default, the Windows OS will have 10 values:
    MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
    MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
    RSVP UDP Service Provider
    RSVP TCP Service Provider
    MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
    The value above repeated 5 times with additional variables at the end
    Note:811259.Once you've identified the third-party LSPs, determine which software placed them there. Here is a partial list of LSPs you might run into and the software that may have placed it there:
    Product or Manufacturer
    LSP Name
    Bigfoot Networks
    BfLLR over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]]
    ByteMobile, Inc.
    BMI over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    Covenant Eyes
    Covenant Eyes Monitoring over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    PC Tools / Spyware Doctor
    PCTOOLS over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    SafeEyes
    Internet Content Filter over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    SpeedBit Video Accelerator
    SBLSP over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    VMWare
    VMCI sockets DGRAM
    Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you can remove that software. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information.
    Note:locate vendor information
    Reset the WinSock key
    If you are unable to identify the software that installed the LSP, you are unable to remove this software because it performs an important function for you, or you've removed this software and the issue persists, you may wish to reset the WinSock key.
    To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:
    Windows XP:Enter the following command:
    netsh winsock reset
    Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • IPhone user, Can Not Access iTunes Store, Using Windows 7

    Dear Sir
    I used to access the iTune Store from my computer everyday. But since a couple of weeks I started receiving the following (Connecting to the iTune Store) message after clicking on the Store link in iTunes.
    http://i50.tinypic.com/1glc8.jpg
    It just stays there loading forever.
    But I can access the store normally using my iPhone and using other laptops over the same network.
    What can the reason be? I am using the latest versions of iTunes and iPhone on Windows 7.
    I have tried the iTunes built-in connectivity test and it passed all the tests, I have tried re-installing iTunes, And I have also checked support article (TS1470) and I already have the mentioned options enabled.
    Thanks.

    With that one, try launching iTunes. Go "Edit > Preferences" and select the "Parental control" tab.
    Is "Disable iTunes Store" checked? If so, try unchecking that and clicking OK.
    Can you get through to the Store now?

  • I got a brand new windows 7 computer and can not install itunes

    I tired to install itunes on my new windows 7 professional 64 bit computer. I downloaded "iTunes64Setup.exe" and get during execution of that program the error message:
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Does anybody know what to do to get this install running to completion?

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    That's an interesting variation. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
    Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:
