Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

TS1538 Is there a workarround for iTunes to run on Windows XP 64 Bit SP2?

I have got a new PC with Windows XP 64 Bit SP2 operating system.
I could install the 64 Bit version of iTunes (which is actually meant for Windows Vista 64 Bit or Windows 7 64 Bit)
Version: 10.6.1
Download ID: DL1427
File Size: 73.23 MB
with only one issue: "Apple Mobile Device" could not be startet.
I have read the Apple-information: iTunes does not support 64-bit edition of Windows XP.
Is anybody aware of a workarround for XP 64 Bit?

You can run a 32 bit version of Windows XP in a virtual machine. Microsoft is ending support for XP in less than two years, so you may want to invest in an upgrade.

Is there a download for itunes that runs on windows xp 64-bit

64-bit

No, there is no 64 bit version that will run on XP.
However if you are prepared to to some hacking, some people have got ot to work.
Here is an example:

You may find others with Google.
iTunes itself is a 32 bit application, the 64 bit installer has 64 bit drivers.

Is there a fix for layers not displaying in window when desktop theme changes from default?

Every time I change my desktop theme from windows default I can't see the layers in the Adobe window. Can anyone tell me where in options/preferences is the fix for this?

Hi Kelly, what happened is that I changed by Win7 desktop theme to a Holiday based theme and when working in Adobe Photoshop part of CS6 collection I start a new project and the layers work panel shows me there is a back ground layer there but in the Adobe work space window the layer doesn’t display. I tried change layer background colors but that didn’t work. If I change the Wind 7 desktop theme back to default it works as expected. Hope this helps. J

Fix for iTunes not installing on windows 8

Well I had this issue and search all over never saw a specific answer.
Here is how I fixed it.
Even if you are an administrator you need to be able to right click the itunes installer and run as administrator, I kept having the Apple Application Support error 2 or Apple Applicication Support error 2 (windows) and seen many posts on it but no actually answer.
This solved it for me just had to drag the installer to the desktop and then ran as administrator.

Is there a fix for OMF not working

I am fairly new to CS6 Premier Pro and just cannot get it to export OMF. I went the route of sending to audition, and after loading a fix there (it crashed halfway through the omf process) it did create omf's or so it seemed. There was no media in the resultant omf but the tracks and names were all there. Straight omf from PP simply does not work. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Jim, related issue for me.
Older version CS5. (I did not want to upgrade during project on advice of other editors).
The OMF export files stall, (many threads about that already). On camera audio (HDslr's) as bumpers with banter, then 48k masterd tracks from CD release.
Is my best bet to export as FCP XML, find a friend with FCP7 and have them ingest (then export) OMFs for me?
Deadline, and mastering session booked for today was put off until I can deliver OMF's to the session. Last night I assumed sending out OMF would be simple, having not used that before.
Turned out poorly it seems.
Any thoughts, from the savant realm?
Thanks!

Is there a fix for itunes match replacing my explicit lyrics?

Is there a fix for the explicit lyrics probem yet?

No. However you can turn off iTunes Match on the device, sync the explicit song, then re-enable iTM. Then your iOS device will play the correct version of the song.

"A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

RE:ROBOT NOISE WIN XP BITRATE PROBLEM..is there a fix or is there one on the way for itunes 10.5 for win xp bit rate problem,a.k.a. :robot noise,and or is there a way to convert my music files to itunes plus - 128/256kbps(vbr) as this is the only format that plays right?

I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
/Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
(substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

Is there a fix for SL not saving Logic Pro settings?

Hi all, I am stuck in SL but don't mind that if there is a way to fix this problem of settings not being saved. I had the problem first in Mail,it refused to save my ISP Password and was fixed by a software update mentioned on this forum. Does anyone know if such an update for Pro apps was ever available? And is it still there for downloading?

I commend your perserverance but 5.1 is newer than 7, that is what is posted in the above screen shot. Here are some things left over from attempting to install #7
I know it seems strange, but it seems to be true,Jobs is turning in his grave. The screen shot in my previous post shows it even better,hard to read[too small] but it was a fix for just these things. Click on that image in post above and it will appear in a larger window,these small 2 ones will as well. It isn't even possible to trash that pref[plist] it restores its' self instantly,no time to install #7,and I trust developed to avoid that being done. The new Apple boss man no like Pro apps,only want to sell new hardware.

Export for quick time running under windows?

I am coming to Final cut X pro from Imovie. Under Imovie I could export a movie that would run under quicktime for both Mac and Windows computers. Now using Final cut X pro, when I export for quicktime, my movie works fine using a Mac computer but fails under windows. When I attempt to open the movie quicktime tells me I have a problem with the codec. It indicates that I need an add on, but does not indicate which one is needed. Share works great for output to my Ipad. What I like to do is export to quicktime and use a windows computer to output to a wide screen tv. I down loaded the latest version of quicktime for windows. Under the share option what codec option should I chose, or do I require an add in to Quicktime? Thanks.

Not that you should have to, but try to make your final export from Compressor to see if that works better. Perhaps this can help you isolate the problem. H.264 should work in Windows, so you could also check your export on a different PC to see if the problem is on the receiving end.
I'll put in my vote here for Flip-for-mac getting their components to play nice with FCX. I have always found it a handy tool.

Is there a fix for "iTunes could not connect..."

On my work PC (XP), I often get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store". It usually happens on my first attempts to access the store in the morning. It's also seems to be random but mostly occurs on my first attempts to access the store for that day. I click on various playlist, "Podcast", "Movies" and back to store. I can usually get it working that way. Any ideas what causes this?

I'm getting the same thing all day. Usually after the first load I close itunes then load it again and it works, but today, since the update I haven't been able to access the store or download any of my podcasts, this is a real pain since I just got a $25 gift card in the mail 8(

Is there a fix for iTunes Artwork screensaver finding ALL artwork

The iTunes screensaver is not finding all the artwork that iTunes has associated with albums. It's only finding cover art that I've manually inserted or paid for from the iTunes music store. I've ready a number of posts from the past month with people experiencing the same issue. Has anyone figured out a way to force the screensaver to look in the right place for all album artwork saved on the cpu? Or is this a lost cause?
Thanks

The issue here is that the iTunes Artwork screen saver only looks for artwork embedded in tracks and not in the new artwork database provided by iTunes 7. The only solution for this problem currently available is to embed the tracks with the downloaded iTunes 7 artwork.
There is an apple script that will do it for you here
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php?page=1#embedart
Simply select all tracks and run the script. It will figure out which files need embedded artwork and leave the rest alone.
After doing that the screen saver will load all of your artwork.

Fix for Photoshop not running after install

Hi all,
I recently purchased Photoshop CC and tried to install it on my home built computer that has an SSD for the OS and an HDD for my installed programs. When I went to run Photoshop after I installed it, it gave me an error message saying that it could not find a good version of Adobe Application Manager, saying it was damaged or broken. After numerous attempts to fix the problem, an Adobe technical support team member named Arul copied the Adobe folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files to my HDD E:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files. Following this Photoshop and Lightroom booted up without a hitch.
Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!@

Or at least a restart.  menu/About This Mac - what OS shows?

TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

Hey MichelHebert,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
