Help for all frustrated windows itune 5 downloaders

I recently downloaded itunes 5 and couldn't open it even though the download was successful. I messed around for hours getting very frustrated to try and make it work. I eventually found that by turning my Norton antivirus firewall off and turning on my windows firewall instead, I could open itunes! I don't know if it is just norton antivirus that affects itunes so others might too. Hope this is helpful!

Sorry, Bill, but there is no way to run iTunes under Windows 98. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. Note that these applications cannot purchase tracks from the iTunes Music Store which is only possible through iTunes.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows 98 is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

  • Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

    I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

    @King_Penguin thanks for your help
    See below some additional info:
    I have 3 Macs:
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
    2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
    FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US. 
    I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
    I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

  • Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Pls how do I maintain one account for all my windows?

    All I want is to manage one I'd for all eg iTunes,iPad store, etc

    eh?
    Do you mean just have one apple ID for everything? DO you already have one or do you have multiple ones?
    I'm afraid you need to be a bit more explicit with your question.

  • HELP for all 5 TYPES of  STO  Stock Transport Orders with detailed scenario

    PLEASE help me understanding the detailed scenarios for all 5 TYPES of STO s
    as in my day to day job activities , i frequently handles issues related to STO s
    PLEASE HELP WITH DETAILED STEP BY STEP SCENARIOS

    Hi Jagatram,
    Standard SAP has the following methods For Stock transport order:
    1) One Step Transfer stock without using purchasing documents; Use movement type 301.
    2) Two Step Transfer stock without using purchasing documents; Use movement type 303 in Supplying plant and movement type 305 in receiving plant.
    3) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) without delivery in two steps. STO created in T-Code ME27, receiving plant posts goods issue (for returns), movement type 351 and supplying plant post goods receipt from using movement type 101.
    4) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) with delivery in one step. STO created in T-Code ME27, Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue document (for materials to be returned) with movement type 647 and goods receipt document with movement type 101 both created in one step.
    5) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) with delivery in two steps. STO created in T-Code ME27, Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue posted (for materials to be returned) with movement type 641.Goods receipt is posted in the supplying plant, movement type 101.
    6) Using Transportation scheduling agreement (TSA) with delivery in two steps. TSA created in T-Code ME37. Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue document (for materials to be returned) with movement type 641. Goods receipt is posted in the supplying plant, movement type 101.
    To achieve it, necessary configurations has to be done in Tcode- OMGN.
    SPRO>> Materials management>> Purchasing>> Purchase Order>> Set up Stock transport Order:
    1. Plant: For the receiving plant, maintain customer No-Plant (If using STO with delivery), for the Sales Org, Dist channel and Division.
    2. Checking Rule: Create checking rule.
    3. Define checking rule : Usually no change required here.
    4. Assign delivery type/checking rule: Assign the document type(UB) - Supplying plant- Delivery type(NL).
    5. Purchasing document type: Maintain the supplying plant- Receiving plant relationships for the doc type-UB, either 1-step or 2-step, as per business.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I change the settings for ALL songs in iTunes with 1 command?

    I'd like to set the volume for all songs to +100. Can I just select all songs and then change it to +100?

    Highlight all the songs in your library (ctrl+a, edit-->select all, etc.)
    Now right click one of the songs, making sure that all remain highlighted, and go to get info. Click Yes to the message that pops up. You should be able to adjust the volume in that window. Click OK when you are done. The volume should now be adjusted for all songs.

  • Trying to recover "date added" for all songs in itunes

    Hello, so recently I deleted some playlists off my iPhone in order to free up space for the time being and did not realize that Apple changed its iOS so that it deleted the playlists off my iTunes as well. When I did this before, it did not do that.
    So in an attempt to recover my lost playlists I moved my iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to the desktop and then when I reopened iTunes I clicked import playlist and imported the iTunes Library.xml on the desktop.
    It reimported all my songs, but it didn't even recover the playlists I was trying to gain again. In addition now all my "date added" is today date's which is not very useful to me considering a lot of my playlists are organized by the date added feature.
    Is there anyway to get the date added back for all my songs? I still have the itunes library.itl and itunes library.xml that I moved to the desktop in the first place on the desktop.
    Thanks.

    Also it kept all other things (ratings, date modified, play count, everything except date added)

  • Request help for synching iPod with iTunes after Windows re-install

    I recently reformatted my hard-drive. I have installed iTunes. When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases". My iPod has some purchased songs, and many songs ripped from my CD collection (mp3 format). I would like to have the entire iPod contents populate the new (empty) iTunes library. I am guessing that the Transfer option is the best of the two, but am worried about losing songs, since it would be a lot of work to re-rip the non-purchased songs. Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?
    I would appreciate any suggestions, before I proceed. Thanks in advance to any replies.
    EMK

    *Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?*
    No it won't, it will only do what it says which is to transfer purchases, it won't transfer non-purchased items.
    *When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases".*
    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    As for your purchased songs, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article but the utilities above will copy both purchased and non purchased songs anyway: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Open firefox screen resolution for all computer windows blows up really big closw fire fox goes back to my settings Help!

    Hi
    Thanks for the help. I did what you advised, but it still did not work.
    The repair disk was successful. Unfortunately when the system restarted to boot my startup disk, I faced the exact same problems as I did previously. I also did a hardware test, but no problems were found.
    Even tried powering off and on the macbook pro again but the same problems remained...
    I tried to back-up my files too but they refuse to copy/move into my hard disk drive folder.
    Nothing works.
    Do you have other ideas? Or suggestions?
    Thanks so far!

  • An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

    I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
    I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
    I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
    here is what I have so far:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
    set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
    end tell
    end tell
    so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
    thanks in advance for any and all help with this

    According to this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
    it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
    Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
    On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
    open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

  • Help! All of my Itunes comments, ratings, playlists have disappeared.

    I am not an expert, but I have been trying to find an answer to my problem and have learned enough to know that it must be possible to save the work I`ve done, but I don`t know how. I have a large music library - about 15000 songs which I keep on an external hard drive. Actually I have 2 external hard drives. I was about to update to OSX, and I decided to backup my files and computer first. I copied by draggin and dropping my music library from the original external hard drive to the second, so that I would have an extra back up (I was a DJ and collector and have painstakingly transferred everything onto my computer, so I really don`t want to lose my library).
    I didn`t change anything in the original library. Well, this backup took some time, so I left my computer copying files and when I came back it was all copied, but my library was empty. I opened up the original library again, and the music was all there (there were actually some additional tracks) but all of my comments and ratings and playlists are gone. I don`t have any idea why this happened.
    Most important to me is to try to get back my comments and ratings. Maybe it was a dumb idea, but I have been putting a good bit in the "comments" section that I really need (like categories or moods that I can use as a search), in addition to the ratings. All of this has taken hours, well more like days, to set up. I was more than halfway done.
    I tried a couple of things that were suggested in forums about using the library and xml files, but nothing has changed it at all. I opened the xml file and looked to see that it has all of the comments and so on, and is completely up to date to the time I did the back up, so I know the information is there. Again, since I was just making a backup, I never changed anything in my original library, it is all in the same place, so I think there should be some way to put my ratings and comments back into Itunes, right?
    Do I need to remove the Itunes program and reload it to start it all over again? I guess I am a little afraid about what to do next. Should I update to OSX first? Is the large library size a problem? Also, if all else fails, is there some way to convert the xml file into something like a table where I could at least get my comments and ratings listed with the tracks and reenter the information track by track?
    Does this make any sense? I actually haven`t had any real problems with this before now, and have been using Itunes for a few years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Same (global) view settings for all EXISTING playlists (iTunes 10.3)

    I guess some folks like to individually configure the columns of each and every of their playlists. But I like uniformity ... How can I apply global settings to all of my MANY existing playlists, like, let's say, Coverflow plus a certain selection of non-default columns.

    Maybe I should add that I do know global view settings are NOT a feature of iTunes 10.3. So it's not a matter of "where is the button I have to click".
    I also know that Apple Scripts exist as workarounds, but unfortunately I'm using Windows XP.
    Therefore, it's a question for the real experts amongst you, as some serious iTunes-tweaking is involved, either in Windows Registry, or in some hidden config-file.
    The most important question, though, is: why on earth are global view settings not a natural part of iTunes since Day One.
