  • I have a new laptop with Windows 7

    I have just changed to new laptop running Windows 7 & I have changed the library to the same external drive as I was using with last laptop (xp) but when I try to sync apps,podcasts etc it wants to wipe the iphone content & replace it with the itunes stuff.  I have all my apps in folders etc & want them to stay that way. Also I seem to have to actually 'add a folder' to the library to have it recognized!! If I am using the same external library why is'nt it already there & it shows nothing in the movie section-& i have movies in the library!!

    Thanks Onion99, I actually have a wireless network and was able to set it up wirelessly.  As I said I was a new user.  I have since gotten an iPad2 and did the same thing, worked perfectly.  Now, I was given an Aiport Extreme 5.7 and have set it up and can even print wirelessly, but it doesn't seem to be getting the distance I was expecting.  It is hooked to my wireless router with ethernet cable, but I am running two laptops.  When I am working at the desk near the router and Airport, I am getting speeds of up to 18Mpbs, but when I go next door, about 50 feet I am only getting up to 4Mpbs wireless speed.  I don't have a 2.4gz phone, so that isn't causing intereference.  I am usually only running one laptop at a time, but I have a friend coming and she will be connecting the same network.  Do you have any knowledge or this Airport and how I can get the speeds I want at a distance.  I should add that without the airport, I get the same speeds at either laptop location.  I have 20Mbps wireless service and don't have any interruptions as I did with lower speed.

  • I have a new laptop with Window 7. The navigation(?) bar comes & goes, depending on cursor position. I'd like it to be always visible.What to do?

    I have just downloaded and configured FireFox for my new computer using Windows 7. I've included classic theme restorer in my add ons. I have only 1 bar (Navigation(?)) at the top of the screen, just below the tabs. It has everything I need in it but I would like it to be stationary, rather than appearing when I move the cursor toward it & disappearing if I move the cursor away. I would like to be able to see the bar without having to disrupt what I'm doing to make it reappear.This seems to be a new feature. My old version of several weeks ago did not do this. Please help. Thank you...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I just got migrated to a new laptop with Windows 7& iTunes won't run.

    When I try to run iTunes I get an error message that my libray was created with a newer version of Itunes. I would like to remove and reinstall Itunes without losing my library.

    Try just downloading and reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, this Apple article will help you remove iTunes and the other Apple stuff -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!

    I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible with Windows 8 and 64-bit. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!!! I even clicked on the download list to see if it is possessed and downloaded somewhere I didn't choose, but that's NOT happening either. Please help me! I have been messing with this and 4 other problems on this laptop for the last 32 hours. I'm getting tired and frustrated. Also, I haven't even put music on THIS Laptop because on my other one, I ended up with at least 5 copies of EACH SONG. Let's see 636 X 5 = 3,180 and they were in EVERY POSSIBLE LOCATION!!!

  • I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

    Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
    Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
    1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
    A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
    B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
    C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent  iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
    2.  Connect your iPad to your computer -
    A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
    B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
    C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
    D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
    E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
    F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
    NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

  • I have a sony laptop with windows 7 (64 bit) which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But the machine had to be formatted and this time loaded windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried itunes for 32bit win 8 as well as for 64bit win 8 but none is getting installed

    I have a sony laptop with window 7 64 bit initially which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But due to formatting later, I had to reinstall the windows and this time I installed windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried installing iTunes for 64 bit windows 8 as well as 32 bit Windows 8 but none of them is getting installed. The message I get is, "this programme is not compatible for your pc" (or words to that affect since I dont remember the exact words but this is the meaning).
    Can some body send me the link to the right file please. I need iTunes to transfer files from my iPod and iPhone to my laptop.
