How to play FLAC and Other Lossless Formats on iTunes for Windows Vista x64

Is it possible?
If so, how?

iTunes cannot play FLAC or any other lossless format other than Apple Lossless or WAV. If your tracks are in FLAC or another format, you'll have to convert them with another utility to a format iTunes can support: AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless.
Regards.

Converting "FLAC" and other Audio Format files from Vuze to iTunes

Good afternoon. I have a Mac Book computerthat I purchased about two years ago. I have ITunes loaded on mycomputer. I use Vuze as a software program to download music and video toITunes. However, it appears that iTunes will not concert "FLAC"and other formats of audio from Vuze. Can anyone recommend what free softwaresoftware program is preferable to use to convert the "FLAC" and otheraudio formats from Vuze to use in iTunes? Thank you in advance for anyassistance you can provide concerning this issue.

I have used xACT in the past, and I now use Max for all my FLAC conversion needs. If you need to tag the FLAC files before conversion, Tag is basic but good.
For conversion inside iTunes you might want to check out Quick Convert from Doug's AppleScripts.

How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

Hi again,
I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

Just got a new Macbook Air. How can I get quicktime to play wmv and other video formats?

I just purchased a new Macbook Air. I have loaded quicktime, but it doesn't play all formats such as wmv and others. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

My iTunes on Windows 7 opens just once. If I close it and try to reopen, it won't open again. I have alreadytried solutions from the article "iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues". Please help.

HI! My itunes on windows 7 opens once. If i close it, then it will not open again. I then need to turn computer off and back on and it will open again, once. I have tried troubleshooting with the article 'unexpected quits, freezes or launch problems' but that did not help. I have also tried disabling the Bonjour Service. No change either. Please advise. Thanks.

Refer to following articles to remove SC file(s):

Then proceed to repair your Quicktime:

WinXP - Add n Remove Programs
Hightlight QUICKTIME and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

Display and Syncing Apple TV in iTunes for Windows

I have been out of luck getting my Apple TV to display and sync properly in iTunes for some time now. I found a solution to share. I enabled UPnP on my router and voila, no more problems.

After lots of research and trial & error I have answered my own question. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
When I purchased ATV3 I wired it directly to my router. In ATV3 under Settings > General > Network, I recorded the MAC address of my ATV3. I use MAC filtering for my network. This way I don't have any network passwords, but just add a list of approved devices by putting in their MAC address. This allowed me to do everything on ATV3 as it was connected.
Here's where I found my solution... I disconnected the network cable from ATV, then I noticed that I was no longer connected to the internet. Going back into the network settings I noticed a very subtle detail. The last letter of the MAC address now showed a C, where it was a B before. I added this second MAC address to my router's list, and then had wireless internet working fine with ATV3. I then tried going into iTunes on my computer, clicked on AirPlay, then tried to click on the Apple TV. It still had the padlock symbol beside it, but now I was able to click on it, and type in my password (used my main iTunes account password). Everything worked.
The solution was not that I didn't have a connection, it was just that my connection was only wired, and I needed to also have it connected to the wireless (so add the second MAC address). So to those people out there who want to have ATV wired to the internet, note that you do need to be wirelessly connected to the network for some of these features (even if you're directly plugged into the router for that network).

How do I download the 64-Bit version of iTunes for Windows 7?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 O.S. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to the computer, but when I try to install it, I am getting a message telling me I need the 64-Bit version, but I have downloaded the 32-Bit version.
I have tried to find the 64-bit version but am having no luck finding it. Can someone please point me in the right direction with a link to the 64-Bit version. Thank you very much.

Head to the downloads page, Joie:

How can I add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in iTunes for Windows? There is even no the 'Lyrics' tab in the 'Get Info'.

This topic may be old for you, but I searched everywhere on internet and there's still no solution. I even called the Apple Support and the contact support is taking so long to answer... I can't add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in my iTunes 11.1.3 for my Windows 8.1, I clicked right at the song in my iTunes library, clicked 'Get Info', and there's no 'Lyrics' tab there. I tried several lyrics-adder programs but they just won't work. How can I add lyrics for my MP3 songs then?

You may find that the file is Read-only, which means that it cannot be altered.
However, you can change the Read-only in "Properties" using your file manager.
1. The location (for the next step) of a song is found by looking n the Get Info/Summary>Where: of each song. Make a note of the location.
2. Go to the location (on your computer) of the song, right-click it and the last item on the pop-up menu is Properties. Go into Properties/General>Atributes and turn off the tick in the box named Read-only. Now go back to your iTunes Library and try that song again. The Lyrics tab should now be there.

How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1

Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks

Hi,
This should be compatible issue.
Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows
If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log
here for our research.
You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

ITunes for Windows 11.0.4: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Title says it all.
I've had this issue on this machine for some time but not forever. Music playback is fine but anything video related freezes the program. When I launch the program in safe mode it works though. Clearly some add-on or file is causing it to foul up.
Before anyone suggests this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4221 <-- I've tried it to no avail so please don't repost
Anyways this is really annoying, please help.
Thanks
P.S. I know my way around the computer so no need to cripple your explaination

Hello Appropriator,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines further suggestions for troubleshooting video playback. While you have already completed one of the steps, there are a few more that you can try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Additional Information
Some customers using computers containing NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers may experience unexpected behavior when playing videos in iTunes on Windows from a SATA hard drive. iTunes may unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive or the computer may unexpectedly reboot or show a blue screen. Standard IDE hard disks are unaffected by this issue. If your computer contains a standard IDE hard disk, you can copy your video files to that disk and play those copies of the files in iTunes or QuickTime Player.
Thanks,
Matt M.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.
