Help getting help with iTunes (or, the elusive product registration number)

My almost brand-new iPOD classic is now useless because iTunes no longer works on my Vista 64. It was fine for a while. Now, when my computer starts up, I get an error message that reads:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 14003).
I tried all the obvious stuff, and then decided, what the heck, I'm a paying customer, I'll get some online help for Apple. But much to my frustration and rage, I can't get any help without my product registration number. I can't read the microscopic number on the back of my iPod, and because i can't open iTunes, I can't find my registration number that way. Do you know, you can't even call Apple without the product registration number? So I can't get any help. I'm so frustrated. I got my iPod on Airmiles, so I don't even have a bill.
Is there any other way to find my registration number?

hi dan,
i am using iWeb for a non .Mac account! the reason behind is that external hosters offer better online space and loading times than .Mac. Yet on the other hand, the iDisk, Web-Mail, Addressbook and iCal features that are offered with .Mac make the 99€ a year quite worthy!
i myself do not use .mac because my website is simply to large and the prices are not accepteable that .Mac offers for more space!
the next thing is that your .Mac account username will be in you URL and you cannot stay anonymous! your address will be something like this:
http://web.mac.com/USERNAME
so now you will share your username with the whole wide world! the other thing is that iWeb was designed to work hand in hand with .Mac. This means that some cool feature fall off when you publish externally, meaning to a different host, eg.: 1and1, godaddy, strato. These features include Slideshows, Password-Protection, Blod-Search and other small things!
yet when you still choose to go for .Mac - no one will get your address unless you tell them what the address is! it is extremely hard to find, if not impossible, your .mac address under Google or Yahoo! So your username is somewhat protected!
Here are some good hosters:
http://godaddy.com
http://1and1.com
http://strato.de (german)
you practically have to also see for your country what hosters offer. 1and1 is extremely cheap and is over the world! Yet when you choose to have a external host - then you have to pay extra and if you close your .Mac account you cannot buy music in the itunes store!
here is a very good FTP program to upload your files to a different host:

i hope that helped!

I need desperate help with Itunes for the SLVR

I have a set playlist for Itunes to take songs from and put onto my phone when it is connected. That playlist has 56 songs, but when I click autofill, it only puts 31 songs down. As I add more songs to the playlist however, it only takes certain ones. For example, for every 7 songs I download into the playlist, it only takes 2 or 3. The phone has tons of space but I don't know, need desperate help, thanks in advance.

i know i have the same problem the only one thing i have noticed that is consistant along with this problem is that songs that will not go on it are all of them have a higher bit rate than songs that do go on the phone but thats the only real thing i can notice so if someone can show me how to lower the bit rate if its possible that might be the miracle cure

Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

HT1349 How do I get help with Itunes when I dont have a serial number for a Mac because I am not using a Mac???????

I just want to get some help using itunes. I have downladed music - paid for music, and can't get it into itunes. When I used th e'support' thing it just wanted to know my Mac serial numbers!! I don't have a Mac I hace a standard non Mac PC. So why can't I get help with itunes? Its taken me half an hour to get into this support thing because every single name I chose was taken!!!! Its just a nightmare. I hate it!
And now it tells me I must 'choose a community' and itunes isn;t listed! It gets worse! So I chose any community because this is just a never ending nightmare. 40 minutes ago now I clicked on support for itunes and I ended up here!

Thanks again. I bought two albums. I've no idea what I use to open a zip file. I just tell it to open and it ususally does but this time Windows media player won't do it!
I am in the UK and its 23.43 so I have to give up and go to bed now. As I said I have had no probes with Amazon downloads. I did email CD baby for help but they just sent the links that you offered earlier.
I have tried to burn to CD so I can listen that way but though I go through all the motions I can't add the tracks to the burn list by copying and pasting, and I can't 'drag the tracks here' beacuse the tracks aren't showing, just the whole album folder. It looks like this:
SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3 (1).zip
file:///C:/Users/User/Downloads/SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3.zip
Show in folderRemove from list
Have to give up for today and go to bed but your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you

I've tried to register as a homeschooling family with iTunes U. (The registration options weren't geared to allow me to say as much.) My application was denied. Can anyone help me sort this out?

Private courses support up to 50 students, so you shouldn't have to register your family.
Have you contacted Apple support?

I am having trouble with Itunes registering the Mp4 video that has been converted. Help!!

I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted. Help!

What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
Can you import it to computer iTunes?

Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I synced my 3G with itunes for the first time and lost all contacts and information on phone, help?

I synced my 3G iphone with itunes for the first time, and lost everything on my phone. how do i get it back?

You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

Cannot contact Apple, need help with iTunes & Registration?

3, Can can tech support be expired on a 3 day old machine?
4, Why won't it register on the website?
What a nightmare. I want to register my 3 day old computer but you say tech support has expired.
I'm in Thailand and cannot call your support number. Its the number is incorrect.
Really need some help with iTunes can someone help me? OK to pay but I really really need some support.
Jason

First, have you moved or renamed the iTunes or iTunes Music folders, or any of the folder or track files in those folders, since iTunes last worked correctly?

I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days. I can do a search on the music in upper right corner. However, the screen is white with "iTunes" in the middle when I do. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi guys,

One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song. So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.
