Getting error msg when reinstalling itunes - re compatibility

with MS office Xp - saying that itunes has not passed windows logo testing to verifiy it's compatibility.
Then if you ignore those and intall anyway, it now won't recognise my iphone. I already had to take the phone to a genius bar to get it restored after the os4 download killed it - now I can't put anything back on it.
Please help!

There's something corrupt in your Windows XP. iTunes is certified for XP, Vista and Windows 7. Are you installing it using an account with administrator privileges? This is essential. It's also possible that Microsoft's Genuine Advantage doesn't recognize your Windows installation as being "official" (not pirated).

  • Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to old version. Now I get error msg when I open that says The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes but won't open or play songs.  HELP!!!!

    Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to the old version. Now I get a msg when I click to open iTunes stating, "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created in a newer version of iTunes" and it will not open.  HELP!!  How can I revert the library as well?

    I hate iTunes 11 too... and I also want to revert to previous version. But Apple seems to be so incredibly customer-friendly these days that is quite deliberately not publishing clear/simple revert instructions. I think it's a disgrace that Apple removed Cover Flow without warning people who are tempted to upgrade. Absolute disgrace. And now we're stuck with this piece of ..

  • Get error msg when opening iphoto from Photoshop: "Open iphoto 5 or later..

    I get an error msg when trying to open a photo in iPhoto from Photoshop: "Open iPhoto 5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list." ... but in info it says I have iPhoto '08.... I am confused.... what is iPhoto 5, and how is it different than iPhoto '08? I have not had this issue before today.... previously it was working fine.
    Please email me when answered as it took me a while to find this forum and I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again.

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Error msg to reinstall iTunes every time I sync

    Recently I had a new DVD installed. Now every time I sync I get the error msg at start up that says the drivers may not be recognized if I have replaced the CD/DVD. It says reinstall iTunes, which I have done now a total of four times. I have uninstalled the program prior to reinstalling the most recent. But to no avail...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Tom (tct@usa dot com)

    I have the exact same problem as you. I have tried everything that is listed under the support topics on the apple website and the only thing that works is re-installing iTunes.
    I used to have the iphone 3G and was connecting to my mac book air. I then changed to an iphone 4 and set that up initially on my mac book air and now I have an imac and am trying to sync my ihpone 4 to that. I did set up my imac by using the back up from my air... could that be the problem?
    When I connect it to the imac (with or without the dock) the iphoto app is brought up and asks me if I want to sync the picture on the phone with the computer. I close that and manually open itunes but the phone does not appear on the list. I have to re-install itunes and then it appears.
    If anyone knows of what might be preventing itunes from recognising my phone, please do let me know.
    If I have not given enough information to diagnose the problem then I apologise and please let em know what is required.
    Thank you

  • I recently updated to latest iTunes and now my pc freezes.  I have a Tosiba 32bit running Windows Vista. Itunes will no longer connect to the store and I get error 42408 when opening ITunes. Please help!!

    When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
    I have googled and tried various solutions including
    - uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
    - sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
    - de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
    - contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
    I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
    Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
    I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...

    Update:
    I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
    To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up.  Because, as a non computer geek,  (no offense - I think cg's are amazing)  what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
    I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
    I'm very disappointed with Apple.
    Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
    This is how I fixed the problem:
    Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
    Problem solved!
    As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
    While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody.

  • Windows Error Msg when using Itunes - "There is no disk in the drive. "

    Hi there -
    Desperately seeking help before I lose my mind !
    Whenever I try to do anything in iTunes I get the Windows windows error message "WINDOWS - NO DISK. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ." with the options to either CANCEL, TRY AGAIN or CONTINUE.
    Regardless of which of the options I select, the error message re-appears & will not close.
    I try CTRLALTDEL but I get the message Itunes is "not responding".
    I have tried:
    - Updating iTunes software
    - Making sure I have the latest Windows Updates
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
    - Selective start-up where I disable all applications which might be clashing with iTunes
    - clearing the menu in QuickTime
    None of these work
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks -
    HP Pavillion   Windows XP  

    I am wondering if you ever got this problem straightened out, or if anyone else knows the solution to this problem. I am receiving the exact same message as you talk about receiving here:
    "WINDOWS - NO DISK. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ."
    No drive is listed, just a "."
    I also have tried uninstalling and resinstalling iTunes many times. Not only that, but I thought it might be a virus problem of some kind, so I totally resintalled my Windows XP system. All to no avail. Even on my newly installed system I am having this problem in iTunes.
    I have found that if I hit Cancel about 80 times (literally), iTunes will finally load. But it is crazy that anyone should have to go throug this each time he loads the iTunes program.
    Someone posted a link to a Microsoft fix for a similar problem, but I was unable to understand the fix, and the problem listed in the fix did not seem to correspond with the problem we're having.
    If anyone knows the solution to this problem and is able to give instructions for the solution, I would really appreciate it! I would just use an alternative mp3 player to iTunes at this point if I could, but that isn't really feasible since I have an iPod.

  • Error converting image     get error msg when trying to display thumbnail

    Hi there
    Me again
    I am having some problems displaying thumbnails
    I keep getting the error
    Error converting image (create thumbnail). The "...........public_html/productimages/thumbnails/" folder has no write permissions.
    So I go to my host and change write permissions on the files to 755 and try again and get the same msg
    Then I contacted my host and changed the permissions to 777 and I went to the includes config file and changed the permissions to 777 too and still does not work
    So I go to my cpanel and check all the files are set to 777 I make a new test page with a dynamic table and show thumbnail behavior and get the same error msgs
    So I close DW restart and try again and get the same msg.......
    So then I check the file permissions in the DW split screen window when connected to server..... I right click on some files on my server.... namely the 'thumbnails' file and check its permission and it is only set to 755 but in my host it is set to 777
    So I try to change ppermissions from DW and get the
    "setting access properties failed for: ' error
    So what is the correct permissiion..... 755 or 777?
    I have read two other posts on this forum and I still cant get to work
    Does anyone have any ideas
    I have used up all my options and most of my patience
    I hope I can get this working asap....

    The problem you are having can only be fixed by an HP Field Tech. I am one and I've fixed this issue before. It's an advisory that's only distributed internally at HP. Put in a service ticket. Any tech that has the latest s/n changer can fix this. Once the tech has booted the s/n changer, they'll put the info in like always, only this time, there will be two extra options. For any technician reading this, it'll ask something related to a 25-digit hex value that says (hit enter if unknown.) Instead, enter 25 zeros and hit enter. Then, on the softstylus option, just hit enter to leave it at defaults. That completes the latest version of the tool. This should fix your problem.

  • Getting Error Message when importing iTunes Music to iMovie 6?

    Am I missing something? I used to be able to import my iTunes music to a movie creation in iMovie 6. I'm now getting an error message "Error during import. The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
    I have moved my music to an external drive - don't know if that made a difference.
    Thanks

    Interesting...I have moved my iTunes music onto the external drive probably six months ago. That music still works off the external via iTunes. I just looked in iTunes and my preferences are showing my local drive to store music. And recent music that I have purchased (last few months) is showing in the local drive. When I picked one of the songs from the local it works.
    So now I guess the question is what will happen if I move the music from the local to the external and reset the preferences in iTunes. It should work right?

  • Get error message when launching iTunes

    Hi I have a problem with iTunes it's probaly my own fault but i hope someone in here know what i possibnly could do. I succesfully installed iTunes and used it for about two hours, then the electricity shut down in the house while iTunes was running. When i tried to start my PC again and launched iTunes i got an error message from windows, askin me if I wanted to send them a report of the problem.
    i tried to uninstall iTunes and install it again, didnt work. I tried to clean my computer as good as icould clean registry run scan disc and so on, and then install it again no help didnt work.
    Do you know what i possibly could do?
    :: Kasper Sørensen

    let's keep pushing our luck with the Windows troubleshooting techniques ... so far this is proceeding just like a standard PC troubleshoot ...
    okay, that's the result that suggests that you've got a problem with the itunes preferences files in your usual XP User Account. there's a different set of preference files in each XP user account, which is why we can get this "crash in one account, launch in another" behavior.
    if you've got damaged preference files, we can usually get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the usual account.
    quit itunes. log out of the new account and back into the usual account.
    find and delete the following two files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    (“<username>” here will be the name of the account you’re having difficulties with.)
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) these will be rebuilt the next time you try to launch itunes in your usual user account.
    (the itunes setup assistant will run, you'll be asked to agree to the license again, and so forth.)
    after the setup assistant has finished, does itunes finish launching without the crash?

  • I Keep getting error messages when updating itunes

    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with package. The error code is 2349.
    That the error i get when updateing the itunes iv downloaded it like 5 diff times and still the same message what else can i do about it?
    can anyone help me please and thank you for your time

    Although it's a better bet with a 2330 error, I'd try running a chkdsk over your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you've got your program files installed on).
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why do I get error 1004 when reinstalling Lion?

    I need to reinstall the OS on my iMac after corrupting the OS by changing my user folder name. Apple tech support asked me to partition the hard drive to a single partition and reinstall the OS.
    So I rebooted holding down the command+option+r and accressed the recovery OS for Lion off the Internet. This took awhile. I then selected Disk Utility to create a single partion and then clicked on reinstall. It then asked for my Apple ID which I gave it and got the "Error 1004, retry again" message. But I keep getting the same error after going through this at least three times. Three senior Apple tech support people were not able to help get past the 1004 error and suggested I take the computer in to a retail location. bviously, I am trying to avoid doing this.
    Is the 1004 error potentially caused by busy Apple servers?
    I ran the hardware test and it came up with no problems. And there is no firewall or uitility inhibiting the Internet connection since I was able to download the installer under restore. And I just partitioned the internal HD that negates any software interference.
    How do I solve this problem in the absence of an install USB drive or DVD installer>
    Thanks,
    Ted

    Problem solved. I traced the problem to a flawed firmware update that was done by fios (Verizon) on their router automatically. It made the Internet connection unstable. So they reapplied the update from their remote computer and the Apple servers finally recognized my Apple ID. So the 1004 error reflected the problem. The Internet connection was stable enough to dowload the installer but not stable enough to approve the Apple ID.
    This ressmebles hard to diagnose RAM issues.
