Fresh Install of iTunes and some Questions
I just did a fresh install, set up home sharing, and did an iCloud match so my whole library is in the cloud. I have my library file stored locally but my music files on my NAS. Here are my questions:
1. I want to install iTunes on my wifes computer, set up iTunes match for her, set up shaing. She will have a "shell" setup where notjing is stored as she is sharing with me and accessing the cloud. Do I need to set up that computer under my user id even though she has her own? I figure thats the only way to get her to iTunes match that I have?
2. How do I do this all? Meaning, I will have a local library file for her but I need to point her laptop to the NAS with the files on them. If I change her iTunes media file to that location on the NAS and check keep organized, will it screw up the files I have there? I noticed when I did that on my PC it moved some fles around and I had to reassociate lost files to songs. Took hurs. Would iTunes have done that automatically for me somehow? Should I not check the keep organized for her as she will not be adding music anyhow? What is the harm either way?
3. How do I see my pictures on my ATV unit? I thought I used to be able to but don't see an "app" on the ATV to do so, just photo stream which I do not want to do. I thought I used to be able to access the pictures stored on my NAS? Am I dreaming this or did it go away? My NAS is an iTunes server and I swear I used to be able to access them from my ATV? All I see on my ATV under my library is music, podcasts and movies.
4. I have my NAS sharing (home sharing) and I can see it on my laptop with iTuenes installed. When I click on it I see only music, no movies or anything else, why is that and is it something to do with home sharing? But, like I said I can see thse movies on ATV under my library. I can also see my playlists on the shared on my laptop but nothing is in them. I think that may be becuase they were set up under another library and now that I hve a new library file, they don't carry over? I don't see any of said playlists in the sttandard iTunes interface under playlists, just under the shared however like I said, no files in them. Also, the share comes and goes as in sometimes I see it sometimes I don't however I am always able to access the NAS from iTunes. Strange, may be network issues?
5. Along those same lines, sometimes the home share just up and dissapears from ATV. Maybe a network issue?
6. Lastly, I just did my first backup/sync to my new laptop with the frsh install of iTunes on it. It gave me some sort of message that I can only sync to one computer and do I want to overwrite or whatever? I said no and it did nothing. After that, I did a back-up however it seemed to go fast and I also did a sunc. The sync was three steps, used to be like six and I did not notice any of my new apps being copied to it. Something is wrong here but not sure what to do, ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
#4 - make sure you are sharing out all the items in your itunes library (music, movies, etc)
you should be able to do that under preferences
you may also want to check if it is pointing to the correct library
#1 - home sharing should work on the LAN w/out the need for signing in; the shared libraries should appear under "shared" in the left sidebar of itunes
think this may resolve the issues you have on #2 as well
#2 - itunes doesnt seem like it's built for that, but if you have any experience, i'd like to hear it. this seems why home sharing is the usually the best route to go and just have one instance of itunes managing the library
but as long as the NAS or any media drives are shared out, connecting to it should not be a problem. it's the writing to the itunes library that's the issue. i haven't used Match so can't help there.
depending on your OS, you can either ctrl-click or option-click on the itunes icon,
which will also give you the option of selecting a library location upon launching itunes
you can navigate to the location of the library file and point it to that.
technically, you could do that but i believe the actual library has to be stored locally
as long as you still have all the media, then you can just rebuild the library
but for locally shared items, as in, all inside the home, i would leave icloud out of the equation
just use itunes sharing and it should be fine

Safest way to go after a fresh install of iTunes and Windows
I had to wipe my PC, and my XML file got corrupted and the itl file lost. I went to sync just before I wiped it and got, the message about being able to sync to one library at a time.
As I'm starting from zero again will the iPod recognise the new library as "fresh" and I'll have to wipe the iPod of all the tracks on it?. Which isn't really a problem, as they're all backed up on my external HD.
Or can I put all my music back into iTunes with ratings, and hope the iPod accepts the fresh install?
Which is the best way to go? Empty iTunes and wipe the iPod and start from scratch? Or try and hope it recognises the new install?These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
a) One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
b) One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
c) One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

New Install of PSE and some Questions
Install went well. I did let the system "analyze" my images. I just couldn't help comparing my esthetics to the machine's. Over six hours on up to 14,000 images.
Q1: I lost ALL Adobe TV and Adobe.com audio. And of course Adobe Media is dead. What happened? I cannot do much with those fancy tutorials without audio --- which comes through fine from various other sites.
Q2: Is there any connection of the Analyzer/Smart Tags with the tags on the system? I heavily tag all my images, especially people. It seems that Analyzer does not take advantage of those tags. Anyway to help it? I'd love to round up a collection of single person photos of a single person and seed the face recognition system that way. Super easy to do. For me. I notice it consistently identified bicycles as people. Sort of cute. Those wheels must make great eyes.
Q3: The README file in dark caps says that Windows Media Player is necessary for slide shows, audio/video files, to work. Serious?#4 - make sure you are sharing out all the items in your itunes library (music, movies, etc)

I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud.
Please assist
ThxYou don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well. -
i have downloaded an album off iTunes and some of the songs stop half way they just go silent! should i buy the album again? or what can i do to fix it?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -

so i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?
Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
You can find the full article here:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Installed latest iTunes and neither original iPods connect.
Have 2 original iPods (8Gb and 16Gb). Been using them for years with iTunes. Have Windows 8.1. Installed latest iTunes (12) and now neither iPad is recognized by iTunes even thought PC does. iTunes said to disconnect and reconnect (this didn't work). Then said to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (did this twice and it doesn't work either). This has been working for years - what can I do to recover this support?
Hi bobsteph,
Welcome to the Support Communities! It sounds like you've already tried some troubleshooting steps, but iTunes is still not recognizing your two iPods.
The resource below has troubleshooting steps to take in a specific order to address this issue. I can understand your frustration, but hopefully trying these steps will resolve the issue.
This article is quite extensive, so I've highlighted below only the sections that apply to Windows 8 and iPod Classic. Click on the link for complete details.

Restart your computer.
Install the latest version of iTunes and connect your iPod.
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Connect the device to your computer.
Quit iTunes if it opens.
Open the Device Manager as follows:
For Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return. The Device Manager window should open.
Click the plus (+) icon (or disclosure triangle () for Windows 7 and Windows 8) next to "Universal Serial Bus controllers" to expand the section.
Locate Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in this list.
If Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is displayed without any downward arrow, "!", or "?" symbols over it, then this driver was successfully installed. Proceed to the next section titled "Change your iPod's drive letter."
If Apple Mobile Device USB Driver isn't listed, proceed to the section below titled "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver isn't listed."
If Apple Mobile Device USB Driver has a downward arrow next to it, this indicates that this device is disabled. To enable the device, right-click its entry in Device Manager and choose Enable from the shortcut menu.
If Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is listed but has an exclamation mark or question mark over it, continue with the next steps to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device driver.
Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Driver
Right-click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager and choose Uninstall from the shortcut menu.
In the resulting dialog box, select "Delete the driver software for this device" and click OK.
In the Device Manager window, right-click "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and choose "Scan for hardware changes" from the shortcut menu.
Windows automatically reinstalls the necessary drivers and attempts to remount the device.
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver entry still has an exclamation mark or question mark over it, continue with the next steps to manually update the Apple Mobile Device driver.
Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software.
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. If the Have Disk button isn't present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device, if listed, and click next; the Have Disk button should now appear.
Click the Browse button.
Navigate to the following location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file.
Note: This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Click Open.
Click Next and click Finish.
Restart your computer. Leave the device connected to the computer while restarting.
Note: During installation, if a message appears stating that the software you are installing "has not passed Windows Logo testing," click Continue Anyway to continue installing the drivers.
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver isn't listed
Open the Device Manager in Windows, as follows:
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return. The Device Manager window should open.
Expand the following sections (not all sections may be listed):
Disk Drives
Imaging Devices
Other Devices
Portable Devices
Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Reconnect your iPod. Look for any entry that appears when the iPod is connected.
If only Unknown Device appears
Right-click the Unknown Device entry and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
Click the Details tab. In the drop-down menu, choose Hardware IDs.
See if the listed hardware ID starts with "USB\VID_0000&PID_0000". If it does, Windows cannot read the hardware IDs of the device, and has replaced them with all zeros. This is typically caused by a faulty USB connection or an incompatibility with your USB chipset drivers.
Disconnect your iPod and unplug all USB devices from your computer.
Shut your computer down and then power it back on.
Open the Device Manager and reconnect your device, testing each USB port for approximately 30 seconds to see if your device is recognized.
Test with an alternate USB cable that you know works if one is available.
Temporarily disable USB 2.0 root hubs by looking for any "USB Enhanced Host Controller" or "USB 2.0 Host Controller" (or similar) entries in the Device Manager under the USB Controllers section. Right-click on each of these entries and choose "Disable."
Note: This may temporarily disable your USB keyboard or mouse. If it does, disconnect your USB keyboard and mouse. Or, if you are using a portable PC, connect an external keyboard and mouse.
After disabling USB 2.0, reconnect your device.
If your device shows up in iTunes, try re-enabling your USB 2.0 root hubs by right-clicking on their entries in the Device Manager, and choosing Enable. If the issue returns, you may disable the USB 2.0 hubs as a temporary work-around, keeping in mind that syncing will occur slowly (at USB 1.1 speeds). Then, consult your computer manufacturer for any updates for your USB 2.0 chipset.
Note: If Unknown Device appears in Device Manager when connecting your device to more than one known-good computer with more than one known-good USB cable, your device may require service. Contact Apple. Wherever you live in the world, you can find your device's service options at the Online Service Assistant. You may have questions about servicing your device, and you can find answers to frequent questions in this FAQ. If there is an Apple Retail Store nearby, find the closest store and then make a reservation through the online Apple Store Concierge. Reservations are strongly recommended.
If only "iPod" appears
For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Right-click the iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. If the Have Disk button isn't present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device, if listed, and click next; the Have Disk button should now appear.
Click the Browse button.
Navigate to the following location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file.
Note: This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Click Open.
Click Next and then click Finish.
Restart your computer. Leave the device connected to the computer while restarting.
6. Change your iPod's drive letter
In some cases, changing the drive letter assigned to the iPod may resolve this issue.
7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
If you haven't already done so when following the Troubleshooting Assistants linked at the beginning of this article, remove and reinstall iTunes.
Note: Songs you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from CDs are saved in your My Music or Music folder by default and aren't deleted when you remove iTunes.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes.
8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
Installed background processes can sometimes prevent the iPod Service from running. You may be able to resolve this by disabling some items with the System Configuration Utility.
For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Refer to Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
Some antivirus, firewall, or other security software can prevent iPods from displaying in iTunes. Updating, reconfiguring, disabling, or removing your security software may resolve the issue.
Note: For the best computer security, disconnect your computer from the internet prior to disabling or removing your security software. After testing, reinstall security software before reconnecting to the internet.
10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
If your iPod is recognized successfully on a different computer, and the steps above didn't resolve your issue, there is likely some other system issue on your computer that is the cause. This may require you to repair or reinstall Windows. If you need assistance with this, contact whomever supports Windows on your computer. In most cases, this will be the computer manufacturer.
I hope this information helps ....

Can't open fresh install of iTunes (fresh install of Windows 7)
Hi everyone,
Well this problem has my head spinning. I'm an IT troubleshooter so I've done a lot of various trailing already which I detail below.
Basically, we're looking at a brand new computer with a new installation Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have installed the latest iTunes 64-bit however when I double click the icon it never opens. No error given.
Upon checking the Event Viewer I can see two corresponding Application Allerts:
1/
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 12.1.0.71, time stamp: 0x54c76235
Faulting module name: iTunes.dll, version: 12.1.0.71, time stamp: 0x54c7621b
Exception code: 0xc000001d
2/
Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program iTunes because of this error.
Upon research, a few people report error 2, however their error message always correctly identifies a file name (i.e., "Windows cannot access the file foobar.dll for one of the following reasons...."), and they are able to troubleshoot from there. As this error has a blank space for the filename I'm not so lucky.
I have tried:
* Starting iTunes in Safe Mode (no change)
* Starting iTunes with a new library (holding shift) (no change)
* Creating a new Windows profile and starting iTunes there (same problem) (both accounts have Admin rights)
* Uninstalling iTunes and all other bundled Apple applications as per (Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support)
* Downloading a fresh installation package and re-installing
* chkdsk /f
* sfc /scannow
* Repeating the above with the antivirus application uninstalled
* Repeating the above and running the installation file by specifically right-clicking and choosing to Run as Administrator
* Running iTunes by specifically right-clicking and choosing to Run as Administrator
* Repeating the above and installing to default location on C: (an Intel SSD)
* Repeating the above and installing to D: (a Western Digital HDD)
* Installed Quicktime and tested if this opens - it does. (Someone, somewhere suggested seeing if this worked).
* Following the advice here (iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support)
I can confirm that with the above, I can delete the file and when I attempt to launch iTunes again the file is recreated but iTunes still doesn't open
There is ultimately an iTunes library that I'd like to re-import back in, but for now I've kept this out of the way until such time that I can open iTunes with a blank library.
I'd like to think my troubleshooting has been fairly exhaustive so far, but would also like even more to have a solution. If anyone can suggest anything it'd be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
GavinI was having a similar problem and searched this forum for 2 days trying to find the solution...and couldn't!
I decided to solve try a few things myself.
I turned the SpyWare off first then . . .
1 . I opened the Register Editor, by typing in "Regedit" in the run application for XP or start search for Vista.
2 . I searched all of the files, around six of them, and deleted ALL quicktime and itunes folders.
3 . I then went into the Program Files on the hard drive C:\ and deleted the files iPod, iTunes and QuickTime.
4 . After that I went back to C:\ and went into Windows and deleted a file named QuickTime VR and all other QuickTime and iTunes files.
5 . Restarted the computer
6 . Reinstalled ONLY QuickTime 7.4 from the website
7 . Reinstalled iTunes 7.6 from the website and it worked!
Hope this works, it was a nightmare to figure out and a hassle to do but it does work....for me at least!
Good Luck! -
How do I import all my music into a fresh install of iTunes?
I just installed Windows 7 and iTunes and did something stupid. Before installing iTunes, I moved all my music files (completely intact as the "iTunes Music" folder) into the proper location on my C: drive so iTunes would detect them.
But during the iTunes installation I left the option checked to have iTunes automatically search for mp3/aac files, so what this did was add all my music twice (the first because it just read them from the location, and the second because it re-searched for everything).
So I just deleted everything from iTunes and then did "Add Folder" and chose the iTunes Music folder. Well, this put all my music back into iTunes, but it did not reinstate my playlists. More importantly, it did not carry over my song ratings!
Please tell me what I need to do at this point so that iTunes detects my music just as it was before I reformatted! Do I need to reinstall iTunes, or is there some other way?
Thanks!Please tell me what I need to do at this point so that iTunes detects my music just as it was before I reformatted! If it's in iTunes, it has detected it all.
Well, this put all my music back into iTunes, but it did not reinstate my playlists. More importantly, it did not carry over my song ratings!
If you want your rating and playlists, you will need to copy your entire iTunes folder before you reformat and reinstall your OS.
Before installing iTunes, I moved all my music files (completely intact as the "iTunes Music" folder)
Yo should copy your iTunes folder, not only the iTunes music folder inside the iTunes folder.
Ratings and playlist are contained in the iTunes library.itl file in the iTunes folder. -
