I can't get itunes to work properly on my windows 8 computer

Itunes will open and I can play music/videos etc, but it locks up while syncing my ipad andiphone and will not access the itunes store.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but it didn't make any difference.  HELP!!

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

  • I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive.  I can't get it to work properly.  WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

    Hello EucaBlue!
    So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
    After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
    Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
    Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
    Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
    Happy tinkering!

    Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you.  Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

  • IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?

    iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?  This is what comes up.....

    iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report.  Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
    To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

  • Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

    I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

    These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

  • I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

    I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
    How Can I get this to work properly?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hey KoobeP,
    I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
    I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

  • Can't get X to work properly (ATI AIW 9800)

    Hello,
    I have a few problems. My first problem is this. The dpi was messed up when i first install, so i thought no big deal, I'll just go and configure the defaultserverargs setting in the startx script to "-dpi 75". This does not seem to work. Secondly,I can't get gnome to work as my default window manager. I put this line in my .xinitrc file in my home directory:
    exec gnome-session
    I also tried this:
    exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
    My last problem is that when i try to install the ati fglrx drivers with the stock kernel arch package but whenever the fglrx module is called, it says that the module doesn't exist. One thing i might mension which might be of importance is that i compiled a custom kernel during install without SMP and preemtivity so i could use my rt2500 wireless card. Thanks in advance for the help
    cheers,
    -Lukas

    sinisterguy:  You're going to need to build your own kernel module, afaik you can't just symlink a module built for another kernel and expect it to work.
    As root, run
    abs
    Once that's done (it'll check out a bunch of stuff from cvs), change to your normal user and either make a directory for the new package, or cd to some temp directory, then:
    cp /var/abs/extra/modules/ati-drivers-arch/* .
    vim PKGBUILD
    then make the following changes:
    pkgname=ati-drivers-arch
    to
    pkgname=ati-drivers-custom
    (or whatever you want to call the package)
    depends=('ati-drivers' 'kernel26')
    to
    depends=('ati-drivers')
    source=(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    to
    source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    (for some reason I can never get the source from the https address through makepkg.)
    and
    _kernel=2.6.15-ARCH
    to
    _kernel=`uname -r`
    Save and quit, then run
    makepkg
    - this'll make you a brand new kernel module package that you can install with
    pacman -A ati-drivers-custom-8.22.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
    You'll need to update this package every update to the ati-drivers in the same way you originally built it.
    If you need more information, ABS is a good place to look, as well as man makepkg.

  • Can't get iTunes to work with 2 User Accounts

    I've tried to find my specific problem on previous threads but it seems that each situation is just a little different. I have two user accounts on my family shared Windows XP Home edition PC. Last week I installed my son's iPod/iTunes using the install disc. I changed the default to C:\documents and settings\user1\My Documents. Life was good. Then I got an iPod of my own. I followed the same install as above only changed the path to user2's account. I went to iTunes and everything was working just fine for user2. The next time user1 tried to access iTunes on his desktop under his Windows user account, he said it just kept searching. (Windows error message with flashlight) He decided to pop the install disc in and see what happens. (yikes!) He took all of the defaults and left both users with nothing working. Infact at that point iTunes was still on the user desktops but only pages and pages of HTML code would display if you tried to launch iTunes. I deleted all traces of itunes and iPod I could locate and went through the same reinstall process as before. I was able to locate user 2's libary and everything worked fine. (That's mine) Poor user1,(my son) we can't get anything installed to his user. The install disk recognizes only my installation and wants to remove everything first. I;ve done that a few times and still can only get user 2 working but not both.

    hi Mommatron!
    just checking on something. have you ever had any error messages at any stage of proceedings?
    b in particular,
