ITunes 11 on Windows 8 transfer problem

Have followed Apple instructions on transferring to new PC. (Windows 8 Dell XPS; transferred via external drive.) Itunes files verified on new PC, but they will do not appear in the iTunes library. Only recently purchased selections from the Cloud appear in the library. How can I correct this problem?

Have you read this section?
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Often people don't have the library files on the external drive, just the media.
The important content to copy across is the iTunes Library.itl file from the main iTunes folder, not just the media. The playlists and everything else is in there. If you copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other placing inside the <User's Music> folder on the target machine, and install iTunes, it should work. Alternatively you can copy the iTunes folder to a different location, say D:\iTunes if you have a modern computer with a small SSD system drive and a larger HDD intended for your data.
If your library was split on the old system then the library files should work anywhere, but the media folder should be on the same path it had previously which might require that you change drive letters around.

Newest Version of iTunes and Windows Logo problem

I just tried to download the newest version of iTunes, but I get a warning about how it does not meet Windows Logo requirements and how it could change my entire computer system. Can this happen?! My iTunes is an older version and it has been working fine, up until now. When I try to open iTunes now I get this message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can't even charge my iPod.

The ModName is objc.dll
The ModVer is 1.435.14.16
Perfect. The iTunes launch error looks to be being caused by trouble with an Application Support dll (iTunes needs a properly working Apple Application Support in order to work properly).
We maaaaay be able to get past this without having to reinstall iTunes ... but it's going to depend on what version of Apple Application Support you have installed. (There was a bug in early versions of AAS which would prevent the trick I have in mind from working.)
Can you check something for me?
Open your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select the Apple Application Support entry. Click on the "Click here for support information" link.
In the little box that shows up, is your Apple Application Support version number *1.2.0 or higher?*
(The trick I have in mind doesn't work reliably for versions 1.0.1 or 1.1.0, unfortunately.)

ITunes 8 Windows XP problems

iTunes is useless now! Ever since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes I've encountered nothing but problems. I'm using Windows XP by the way...anyway, at best I can play about 3 songs before the music stops and I get an error message telling me that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. At worst, all I have to do is type a few letters into the search box and that is enough for iTunes to shut down. So essentially, iTunes is useless now and all the money I spent downloading songs from the store is going to waste. This is incredibly frustrating.

Ugh i understand. I'm having sort of the same problem as well, but whenever i try and plug in my iPod Classic, a box pops up and says that the "iPod exeModule has encountered a problem". I can open iTunes 8 and play my music, but i can't connect my iPod and sync it. Any help please??

ITunes and Windows Vista problem

I have Windows Vista and ran iTunes successfully for 8mos. Now I'm getting a message box that says "iTunes has stopped working. Close box and Windows will send a solution." The solution, upgrading Windows, doesn't work. Is Vista the problem?

Syncing to iTunes in windows 7 problems...can't seem to connect

When I try to sync my 4s it connects and disconnects every couple of seconds. However when I plug in to an outlet to charge I have no problem. Any idea what is happening?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Latest version of iTunes for Windows causes problems on office network

I have recently updated my version of iTunes on my office computer to the latest available (7.3.1.3). Since doing this, I have been unable to connect my iPod video (5th gen) to itunes properly.
When I try and connect my ipod, itunes recognises it but it comes up as "James' iPod" - one of my colleagues. When I use itunes to look at the music on my ipod, it lists all James' tunes. However, upon disconnecting and checking the ipod, it definitely still has my own tunes on there. To makes matters even stranger, when the ipod is connected, itunes seems to think the ipod has 3000GB total memory, with about 1700GB used by "other" (i.e. the bar is orange for 1700GB).
If I try and play any of the songs that show up on the ipod it doesn't let me, i get the exclamation mark in the left hand column. I have tried rebooting, and I have tried connecting ipod first then opening itunes and vice versa. I have tried connecting when James' computer is off and when it is on. Another colleague of mine has had exactly the same problem, when connecting his ipod on his computer it comes up as James' iPod. I think that he too has recently updated to the latest version of itunes.
Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

With the exception of your iPod, keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices including printers, scanners, external hard drives, thumb drives, hair curlers, flash memory readers, etc. before changing the drive letter. Also, be sure to plug the iPod into a rear USB port on the computer and if you are on a network, disconnect from it.

Preveious versions of iTunes for Windows?

I was running previous versions of iTunes for Windows without problems. With the latest versions, I have tried everything without success (uninstalling Quicktime, resinstalling Quicktime etc)
Are the install files for prior versions of iTunes Windows available anywhere? All I need is music on my laptop. Great if I can install a prior version. Thanks! /Kenny

Strange iTunes Transfer Problem

Hey all, first time poster.
Not sure if this is the correct section for this, so I apologize in advance if it isnt.
Currently running iTunes 7.5, but the problem I am having existed prior to upgrading to 7.5.
I have 1200 or so songs (mp3 format) and 19 tv shows i purchased from the iTunes store. I was originally using an 8gb ipod nano (2nd gen) and recently purchased an 80gig ipod classic. iTunes automatically recognizes the ipod classic or nano when they are connected to the pc and automatically begin to sync when connected.
The strange issue I am having is that iTunes did not transfer all the tv shows, only 15/19 to the ipod classic. All episodes are checked for transfer in iTunes, so i'm not sure why they havent all transferred over to the classic.
A second problem I am having is that even though I have album artwork in iTunes for every single album I have, only SOME songs show album artowrk, and others do not. For example, the album artwork will display for one song, and not on another song, both from the same cd. This issue is happening both on my nano and my ipod classic.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!

jusion,
This can happen with shortcuts created by Windows installer sometimes with iTunes or other programs.
You should be able to create a new shortcut to iTunes.exe in Program Files, put it where you want, and delete the ones you don't want.
Hope this helps,

Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
How do I transfer the library from the 160gb to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thanks

Problem with iTunes in Windows XP

I am having a problem loading iTunes in Windows XP service pack 2. Every time I click on it, it seems to load for a little while, and then a window pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I clicked on the details tab, it showed me a bunch of stuff I couldn't understand. Here's what it said:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer:7.6.2.9
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
How do I get iTunes to work right?

The first question, Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
These are know to cause troubel with Quicktime and must be uninstalled before proceding.
It is also a good idea to go to your Control Panel and try to launch QUicktime preferences - you need to be in classic view to see it.
Post any error message in full. This error message can give a clue to the presence of problem codecs if you are not sure.
Next do a removal of Quicktime with installer cleanup, followed by an install of the latest version.
I will give a method for complete removal, cleanup and reinstall of iTunes, Quicktime and related components, but in your case it may be possible to just do the QUicktime part. Don't forget to delete the recommended files from your system32 folder.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

"iTunes has stopped working" Windows 7 - Problem and Solution

Problem:
When I moved my iTunes library from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro, iTunes would always crash. The "Detail" on the error message referred to
Fault Module Name = Quicktime.qts
To troubleshoot I deleted the iTunes Libray.itl file in the user profile. Then I would "Add Folder" and point to my iTunes directory to rebuild the library. I then noticed it would always crash on the same song when "Processing Artwork".
The problem was caused by specific .mp4 song files that I had purchased from iTunes.
Solution:
This is not easy but it works . . The bad .mp4 files still work in iTunes on Windows XP. So in iTunes on Windows XP, right-click > Info > Artwork > remove the artwork from the .mp4 file. Then move the file to your Windows 7 computer and load it into iTunes. It now works without crashing. You can then add the artwork again from iTunes or from a .jpg off of Google Images.
Fix your .mp4 files one at time until there are none left that cause the crash. Remember you find them by processing the artwork . . the bad file will show in the little windows at the top of iTunes after the crash.
I am not an iTunes expert as such . . maybe there is another way to remove and replace the bad images from the .Mp4 files purchased from iTunes other than using iTunes on XP.

Still having this issue

I have installed iTunes on my new windows 7 dell laptop every time I start it it comes up with an error saying itunes has encountered a problem and it closes ? any answers have tried command prompt reset and it has not resolved it also un/reinstalled

I have installed iTunes on my new laptop OS Windows 7. I have two iphones, a 3rd gen nano and an ipod classic.
Since the install yesterday I keep getting an error message which itunes has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a soluion is available.
I have un and re installed and followed a command promt reset.
I still have the problem. Any ideas?

Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:
