ITunes 10.1.2 makes laptop unable to start windows
I recently updated to the new iTunes 10.1.2 and when prompted to restart and went ahead and let it happen. It is now stuck on the starting windows logo during POST and will not complete it. I restart the laptop and had to use a restore point to fix the issue. After reinstalling what I have lost I verified that I was able to restart the laptop with no issues.
I then went ahead and installed iTunes straight from the site and once again when I restarted the laptop it gets stuck on the starting windows logo. Like before I had to use a restore point. My desktop is not having this issue, I think, but has anyone else ran into this issue?
Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Unable to start Windows 7 after recovering from an image
Dear community!
In our office, we frequently use Windows 7 on our Mac computers. Windows 7 is installed on a Bootcamp partition.
The HDD of one of our MacBooks crashed today and I recovered data from a previously made full image of that MacBook to another MacBook.
When pressing the ALT button during start up, the MacBook only displays the Mac partition, which can be started perfectly, but not the Windows 7 Bootcamp partition. Under System Preferences -> "Startup Volume" I can see and select the Winodws 7 Bootcamp partition, but it won't let me start Windows 7 from it after rebooting. I get the message "NO BOOTABLE DEVICE - INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ANY KEY". Also, I'm able to access the Bootcamp partition (and all files under Windows) when I start up Mac.
Any ideas on how to fix that? Sry I can't provide you with diskutil list, gpt and fdisk right now because I don't have the MacBook with me. I will do that later!).I was stuck with a similar situation...

Remote desktop connection unable to start, window stalls when opens RDC, any tips
remote desktop connection does not open, when rdc starts it stalls and can not press any button.
any ideas on how to fix?Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums. This forum is for Apple Remote Desktop issues and questions and so probably not the place where you'll be most likely to get assistance with this problem.
Good luck. -
SLOW download/UNABLE to start hd movie
Yipes ... sorry we pushed the download and install new software button. Extremely slow download on an HD movie from itunes and then we were absolutely unable to start the movie at all unlike the previous version of software where you could start watching the movie with only a partial download. Waited for over an hour and got to 34% of movie downloaded and no play now button in sight ... not good. I'm writing this post this morning and haven't checked to see if it finished downloading .. of course I'll check this evening but we wanted to watch our movie last nite. Not happy. C'mon you guys get it together.
Oh, we have Cox cable and internet and the internet was functioning properly and fast as usual.
Cheerio,
Lectroidthis is more than likely a temporary, isolated problem in your area... could be apple, more likely your ISP.. ISPs can parse different types of traffic (e.g. video) and set priority up or down for it depending on conditions in the network.. your use etc.. so regular internet traffic is fine but download a huge video file and they start to slow that download... this is referred to as throttling. they may also only start to do this if they see your usage patterns start to change... it could be a lot of things though.
the best thing you can do is do a network test.. this sends your network info to apple and they can possible address bottlenecks in your area.. apple works with companies that put distributed servers with caches of media all over the place so that downloads are quicker (closer to you and i and files don't have to go through entire internet to get to us)
but like i said this is likely just a temporary problem in your area.. my downloads work fine..

I cannot access the iTunes store from any of my computers. When I updated to v. 10.7 it made my laptop unable to access just like with my two desktops. I have installed and uninstalled numerous times.
Nothing happens. iTunes just hangs up every time, saying "Accessing iTunes Store." It does that for a very, very long time, then nothing. Here is what happens when I run diagnostics.

My iPod touch was stolen.. and recovered.. but the kid that stole it cleared my iPod and "made it his own".. it has a password that makes me unable to use it. (He won't give up the password). I have tried to do the restore thru iTunes but the "note" from iTunes says it is unable to restore without the current password.. is there anyway around this... HELP !
You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

How do I get my old iTunes library onto my new laptop? My old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which I no longer have. HELP!
That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use. See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this. If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha! -

I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
sick of doing this

Laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly
laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly, could it be the virgin superhub? (been on the phone to Virgin for an hour they said not their problem) i can eprint and print using a usb cable. Printer displays 'connected' message.
OS windows 7 64 bit. Tried uninstalling etc, 11 hours on still no joy!Hi,
Did you try HP Auto Wireless Connect?
1. Restore network defaults from the printer front panel. Wireless>Wireless Settings>Restore Network Defaults.
2. Download the printer software, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-93470-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
3. Before you run the sofware, make sure you computer is wirelessly connected to the Virgin and that the connection is a saved profile(automatically connects). You can check this in the Manage Wireless Networks section of the Windows Network and Sharing Center.
4. Run the software and select the Wireless connection option.
5. Select Yes to run HP Auto Wireless Connect.

I would like to get a help... I can not install the iTunes to my new (64bit) laptop... Why??? The installation stops somewhere after a few minute, looks like trying to install but can not go through until the end. I had my old (32bit) laptop and i have never had any problem with the installations... My new laptop is Asus (64bit), and the operating system just upgraded from Win8 to Win8.1....
Hello rafaelfromweymouth
Start with the first article and clear out any files in the Temp folder. You may need to remove iTunes and its related software and finally make sure that you have the 64-bit version of iTunes downloaded to install.

In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps
You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.

Dear Apple – Please help me restoring my purched iTunes tracks on my ned laptop
Dear Apple – Please help me restoring my purched iTunes tracks on my ned laptop.
I've bougt some new songs and they just disappeared from my computer and my iphone. How do I get them back? Please help! I'm from Denmark - I don't know if that make any difference!?You are not addressing anyone working for Apple here. We are all just users such as yourself.
Regretably, the iTunes in the Cloud service is not available for music in Denmark:

Help me!!! I can't activate my iphone 3gs!!!
iTunes say: Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care!
What me do?! =((((
Help me!!!
AT&T are unlock my phone, official!!!1) Check your iTunes account.
2) you have to be at your computer. Apple is very smart, the place you put your I'd or password is not near data base.
3) make sure your ID and Password is correct. When type on the phone, if you don't check you might press the wrong key some time cases where people have long Neil.
4) go to apple website n reset the I'd or password. -
display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted?
The 20 meg message is the download limit for 3G. If you can't get rid of the 'OK' message then you can do a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You should be able to download the apps by switching to wifi on your iPad or downloading them on your computer's iTunes and syncing them or dragging and dropping them over to the iPad device.
