Hardware to avoid when using iTunes 10

My computer died, and now... I'm not blaming it on iTunes 10, but it feels like I burned it out (the tech guys tell me the capacitors overloaded and blew, leaking this... red powder). It was a Pentium IV equipped comp with 1 GB attached. I've been browsing second-hand computer stores, my budget is a little... non-existent these days. I'm tempted to just buy another Pentium IV, the comp-techs say I should be able to take the RAM in my old comp and plug it into the new one. This would be around 170$ taxes included.
But I don't want to just get another old computer that's going to go and die on my within 3 months. They also offered me a duo-core for 300$ (taxes included). I know the smartest thing to do in my current financial situation is to buy nothing, but living with no computer is hard!
So what do you guys think, a 3.0 GHz, pentium IV, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP Home. Can it handle iTunes 10?

Still broke from buying the ipad, are ya? winky
YES. For the first time since I've owned the **** thing I admit it: I regret the purchase. I bought myself a dual-core Acer with 3 GB of RAM backing it up, and it STILL doesn't work right. I have given up on it. The iPad is cursed or something.
You should also ask them if the old PC's hard drive can be put in an external hard drive enclosure. Otherwise you are going to be syncing your iPad with a blank itunes library and it will wipe it clean. Or buy a 3rd-party ipad manager program that will get everything off the ipad onto the new PC's hard drive.
Oh don't worry... I can sense beforehand when a computer is trying to screw me over, lol. I put all my media and iTunes Library on an E-HD before my computer kicked the bucket.
Also,
I'm marking this thread as answered, the answer I've found? There is NO hardware that will work properly. iTunes working properly in any way is a myth so far as I'm concerned.

Computer shutting down when using iTunes

Everytime I try to download/update something via iTunes, my computer completely shuts off. It has never done this before and only happens when using iTunes.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Not to suggest the obvious, but have you updated and run your Malware/spyware software lately? If you don't have one, ewido.com has a free trial, and it's fantastic.
This is the easiest thing to try, so if this doesn't work, post back and we'll try to make some other suggestions...
Good luck!

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to teh external.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Make sure the external is connected and ready before launching iTunes.

Deleting iTunes files on a Mac when using iTunes Match

When using iTunes Match, how do you go about deleting the music that resides on the Mac HD? With my music being stored on the iCloud, it sure would be good to free up some HD space.

Music is deleted exactly the same way as prior to using iTunes Match.

I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

Is there a way when using iTunes Visualiser, I can put the lyrics on screen?

Is there a way when using iTunes Visualizer, I can put the lyrics of the song i am playing on screen? It would be really cool.

I got it to work now by writing code to convert it back to an array. Thanks

Empty playlists when using iTunes match

Most of my playlists are showing up empty when I use iTunes Match on my second Mac. The playlists all work fine on my devices (ipod and ipad), it's just on my work Mac that this is happening. All smart playlists work. Randomly, two of my other created playlists are working but all of the rest show up empty with zero items in them. I've tried reseting Itunes match. Nothing is working to fix the problem. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy.

Hi,
Try holding shift key whilst turning off match. Close itunes and relaunch, turn on match and select add this computer.Does this help?

File sharing setup causing static when using Itunes

We have 2 ibook g4's, and use an airport express to play music on our creature speakers. It's worked great up till now. We setup file sharing on both laptops ... and ever since we only get static when we try playing music in itunes.
You can hear the music, but it's very faint under the static
Speakers work fine when used with our dvd player etc
Have turned off file sharing with no change
Rebooted both machines
We both use the latest itunes & osx vers
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
cheers

appears itunes is not the culprit, as I've used airtunes with other apps with the same result. will repost this under another category.

G5 Crashes when using iTunes and web browser

On a fairly consistent basis, my G5 will lock up if I'm listening to music in iTunes while using my web browser. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari or FireFox, and it doesn't matter what music I'm listening to.
It also sometimes happens if I'm using Dreamweaver.
The music just stops playing and it sounds as if iTunes is stuck on a song, kind of like our old LPs used to do when the needle got stuck. The only solution is a hard reboot.
Any suggestions?

Apple is testing iOS 6.0.1 to fix these issues&stability improvements. I have iPod touch 4th gen too, and it is pretty bad for me too. The best way to get Apps&Games on your iPod touch is to sync it with your computer using iTunes v. 10.7. Let me know if you have any other questions!

No artwork on iPhone when using iTunes match, some songs gone missing

Just started using iTunes Match, almost all of my artwork is missing, and randomly at that, it worked beore I started using iTunes Match, it also doesn't download when I play the songs. Some songs went missing "in the cloud" and are unable todownload although I can see them on my iPhone 4s and were uploaded from my PC without any errors. iTunes Match a waste of money? I paid for this because I thought all the artwork and songs were suppose to get uploaded to cloud then downloaded to selected devices :/

On the iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and make sure "use cellular data" is set to ON.

BSOD when using Itunes And/Or when connecting IPOD classic

I have started getting a blue screen of death (BSOD)when opening Itunes followed by opening Iexplorer after a computer restart. I also get the same error when connecting the Ipod 80gb classic, it may take 3 or 4 attempts to get the Ipod conencted, initial recognition but then "ok to disconnect" within 10 seconds.
Error code is 1000007e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 804e83e8, parameter3 f7938a68, parameter4 f7938764. with no driver of sys file identified.
Currently driving (no pun intended) me crazy. I have updated all drivers I can think of, uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and Apple Ipod device drivers with no solution.
Thanks
Ken

I can't rename film titles on the ipad when using itunes

I've updated iTunes installed ios5 on the iPad. I've synced some films but I can't seem to edit any of the info on the iPad using iTunes. For example the video is called Video_film title and I want to change it but all the fields are grayed out.
I used to be able to do this. Anyone help?
Also similarly I can't seem to sort my music on the iPad section on iTunes any other way than the default.....the sort boxes at the top don't work and clicking on a column heading doesn't work either.
Now wish I hadn't upgraded

Try this.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Tap your ID
Tap View Apple ID
Enter your password
Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store
