Editing problems with iTunes 64-bit in Vista

Hello!
Just bot a new computer with Win Vista 64-bit and had to install new iTunes 64-bit.
It's somewhat slow when switching between Windows and iTunes.
Also, what happened to the "quick" edit feature?
As in.... highlight song, hit F2 or just click ONCE with left mouse button and you can EDIT the song title, artist, etc...
It's NO longer available!
What happened to it?
I'm RE-importing my HUGE collection of playlists and backed up library and songs, which is all MESSED up and.... I have to spend TONS of time now EDITING the title info!!!
Anyone have problems or any solutions to this "editing" snafu????
Thank you!

Responding to own post.... Found answer!
Must set permissions!
Highlight iTunes folder..
Right click..
Properties..
Securities tab...
Click on EVERY group/user names..
Allow..
Full control..
OK!
Saved!
Darn Windows Vista!
Screwing up the file/folder permissions due to the hated UAC feature!

  • [Urgent] Problem with Itunes 9.2 on Vista 64-bit

    Hello,

As some might know, the new OS for iphone and ipod touch is out. iOs 4 and I wanted to upgrade my itunes, but i had to upgrade it to the itunes 9.2 version. As i was upgrading and installing, this error message : "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package A problem required for the install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor" came up and ruined the installation and as of now, I am unable to open my Itunes and sync stuff in. This is urgent as I have a ton of stuff inside and now i cant use itunes ! please help !
    Im on a version of Windows Vista SP 2 64-bit OS, if that's any info tht will help ! Any help is greatly appreciated here (:

    any fixes ? ):

  • Sync problem with itunes 64 bit

    Hi, it's impossible to sync an iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 64 bit (sync in one step and in only few seconds but actually it do nothing) and cannot install iTunes 32 bit on windows 7 64 bit. Never had that problem on 32 bit.
    What can I do?

    I worked though this issue today on my PC and I have it working.
    The piece that worked for me was that you have to uninstall apple components in a specific order. I also rebooted my pc after the uninstalls were complete. I found this on the apple support site (see below).
    Uninstall in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour 
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    I then reinstalled 64bit Itunes by saving the package, right clicking and run as administrator.
    This reinstalled itunes then I recieved another error, iphone could not be synced 13019. I researched this and I found out that the itunes library could not find one or more of my music files in the library these are denoted by an exclamation mark. I either had to delete the files or double click on the files and click locate and then point them to the location of the missing files. After I had found all of the files it was able to sucessfully sync and all is good.
    I hope this helps...

  • Authorization Problems with iTunes 7.1 and Vista

    I'm running Windows Vista Business edition. Any time I try to play a purchased song, I get prompted that "you've already got 5 computers authorized to play this", but when I check my actual account settings, it says I've only got 3 computers our of 5 authorized (which is correct). I've tried updating to the latest version of iTunes (7.1) and it didn't help. I tried to run the "fix the seurity permissions issue in Vista" application that Apple released and it doesn't even appear to run (gives me the EULA, I hit 'accept' and it just closes the window).
    Iv'e checked all of the standard issues that I've seen bandied about. Yes, I'm using my administrator account (my only account on the machine is my admin acct.). I've tried right clicking and launching it as an admin (just in case..)...no change. Songs that I have purchased since upgrading to Vista work just fine and will play. Anything purchased before the upgrade WILL NOT WORK.
    I'm just kind of frustrated as other people have mentioned as well. I've got many many songs that I cannot listen to at all due to this issue. Plus to be honest, I'm afraid to plug in my iPod to update it. I don't want it to "update" and then all of a sudden I can't even play the songs from the iPod either. If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it as it is getting a bit tiring.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey there - It sounds like you have songs from more than one account in your library.
    When you try to play a song that needs to be authorized it'll have the account ID that it was purchased with listed in the pop-up window (where you enter your password).
    This is the important part: Make sure that the account ID that the song asks you for is the ID that you login to the iTunes store with when you check how many authorizations you have left.
    Hope this helps!

  • VoiceOver with iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit problem

    Is anyone using VoiceOver with iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit?
    We cannot get it to work. I have followed Apple's guideance and uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and the .dll has been moved from the root directory of C: to the iTunes program directory.
    I took the problem to the Genius Bar at a major Apple Store but they dont support Windows 7 or 64 bit.

    I have again removed, rebooted then reinstalled iTunes and Voiceover is still not working with Windows 7 64 bit. I also am unable to find on any forum anyone who has it working.

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    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 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.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

  • 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 8.1.1.10

    This 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.

  • Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

    After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
    A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
    How can I restore everything back to normal?
    Matt

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

    all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.

    I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
    I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
    Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
    ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
    Infuriating.
    Any ideas?

  • Seemingly Impossible Problems with iTunes

    I've never had any problems with iTunes until a few months ago, and I've been unable to use the program since. It all started when I upgraded to iTunes 10, and my computer randomly started to freeze every time I tried to open the program. I thought that I would try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, but it definitely hasn't worked out the way I'd planned.
    The iTunes 10 installations would cause my computer to freeze, so I thought I would try to go back to iTunes 9, which I had no problems with previously. I followed the uninstall instructions on the Apple Support website, started to install iTunes 9, and my computer freezes every time when "registering iTunes automation server". I can't even get the Task Manager to come up when this happens, so I'm forced to turn my computer off and start over. I tried this again, still no luck. I uninstalled everything, turned off my spyware programs, deleted my temp files... everything. I even deleted the program files today, and I still haven't had any luck.
    I have a small fortune invested in iTunes, and I'd really like to get it back up and running before Christmas. I have some new CDs I'd love to put on my iPod, and one of my favorite bands is releasing a limited edition digital box set that you can only get on iTunes that I'd really like to have. I've read that Apple doesn't even know how to fix this problem, and I don't really want to spend $29 for a pointless phone call.
    Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!

    No such luck
    I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple programs on my computer, but the installation still freezes at the same spot.
    Thank you for the suggestion though.

  • Weird intermittent problems with itunes

    I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
    So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
    I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
    Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

    I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
    No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
    Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s
