ITunes 5.1 Does Not Work Windows 2000

My iTunes 5.01 was working fine w/ipod. When closing the CD tray with a audio CD within, the iTunes screen went completely blank. I had to re-boot to exit.
Upon re-boot, iTunes will not start. When the icon is double clicked, it seems like its going to start, then nothing. In checking the task manager prior to and after attempting to start iTunes, I notice iTunes.exe is running as a process but nothing in the application window.
I followed the instructions from other posts - un-installed both iTunes and quicktime. Deleted their folders under programs, removed the temp folder under users and did a clean install of quicktime 7.x stand-alone version. Upon installing iTunes, no error messages. Computer re-starts, quicktime works but when trying to start iTunes, same problem...nothing. No error, no window, just a new process in the task manager.
This process of un-install and install was done also as admin. No changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Windows....Ahhhhhh.

After spending more than 5 hours.... Found a topic which solved my problem. Apparantely, I did not remove all of the hidden files (of course, no instructions on that one). Thanks to "Greg Dupuis" for his wonderful detailed instructions.

ITunes organizing music does not work and deletes my files

When I have checked box nex to where it said something like : keed folder organized, scince i have so much music, it decided to move my music into compilations folder it had created by itself. After wards i was moving files from compilations folder to artist music belonged to. Little while later it decided to move all my music to the trash. And scince trash doesn't hold everything, it deleted 95% of my music. iTunes decides also to create and decide where to put music by itself, moves half to under artist name half somewhere else. Just to let apple people know, next time I'll get an mp3 player, but rather go with Zune or something, so I wouldn't have to use iTunes

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Windows Update does not work, Windows Standalone Update Installer stops with error 0xc8000247 (Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire 1810TZ notebook)

I purchased a new notebook with Windows 7 in October. During the first weeks I uninstalled McAfee and replaced the harddrive. Since November Windows Update fails with error messages and defender does not start anymore. I made several virus scans (complete) with multiple antivirus programs but nothing showed up.
Since it took my days to install various software, I do not want to re-install W7. I also have no good backup that I could restore.
I am really surprised that there is not even a single entry regarding the error code in the Microsoft Knowledge base or elsewhere.
I really would appreciate help.

I hit this same problem... I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. MS advise of doing; Windows7 re-installs, BIOS/firmware updates, drivers changed, etc etc etc.
I installed a new(large) SEAGATE Momentus XT hybrid 750GB SATA drive upon newly purchased notebook, but the twist here is between the storage configuration mode in the BIOS, ATA vs. AHCI. See, the DELL BIOS required to configure my laptop storage for AHCI
mode, because I had the 4GB Intel Flash Cache Module (Turbo Memory) installed on the DELL Precision notebook. The Flash Cache is installed internally in the mini-pcie slot, loaded the Intel storage drivers, and when it works, is an outstanding feature which
supports:
Windows ReadyDrive*
Windows ReadyBoost*
Looking at the details of the Intel storage drivers that support the INTEL TURBO MEMORY, they're from 2009. Of course it was recommended by users to install these drivers first before anything else, so it would function best, but this was part of the
cause to all the problems with Windows 7. I've provided links to Intel Flash Cache info for those interested. Unfortunately, loading the HP/Intel Storage drivers fixes the Windows permissions/update problems, but "Breaks" the Intel Turbo Flash Cache
functionality now, even though Microsoft still supports ReadyDrive in Windows 7.
"Intel® Turbo Memory is a primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data or user selected applications for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk accesses,
saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency. That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows
Vista*.
Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor."
Intel discontinued support for the modules or drivers with the marketing move to producing their own SSD storage drives.

For me, I hit all the symptoms everyone else hit and thanks to humphrey for his find. I just wish Microsoft/Intel would get together and fix this Windows 7 issue between SW/HW; Large Drive Sizes, Licensing/Permissions, Flash Memory, ATA vs. ACHI, BIOS, etc.
There's been an incredible amount of loss productivity, resources, and costs incurred on this one ISSUE by everyone involved.

ITunes Software Update Does Not Work

In iTunes v 10.5.3.3 I click on Help, Check For Updates. iTunes responds with "A new version of iTunes (10.6) is available. Would you like to download it now?". I click on "Download iTunes".
The "Apple Software Update" Dialog Box appears but iTunes does not appear on the list. The only thing that appears on the list is "DVD or CD Sharing Setup Update." The only way for me to update iTunes is to manually download the iTunes application.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I get the same result. Is the problem the iTunes application or the Apple Software Update application? I am running Windows XP Professional.

I repaired Apple Software Update. It is now reporting that I need a "Boot Camp Update". I do not use Boot Camp or have it installed on my system.
Doublechecking ... is your XP running natively on your computer, or is it a virtual installation on a system running Mac OS or Linux, or some other OS?
(Your ASU is behaving like your XP is installed on a BootCamp partition on a Mac system ... but if you aren't running BootCamp, it might be being confused by a virtual XP installation.)

ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

ITunes 7.2 does not work...Help

I have deleted iTunes and Quicktime and re-intalled but not changes occurred. Anyone has an idae about how I can to solve this problem. Thanks a lot

Same issue here but on my iPad.
These simple errors shouldn't be happening from a company like Apple, not impressed, it's set me back a lot for my business. Seriously thinking about getting rid of all my apple products.

Cannot remove tvshow from itunes, control delete does not work

Cannot delete movies or tvshows from itunes, control delete does nothing, please help.

Hi pcshow,
These instructions from the iTunes Help menu, should answer your question:
Delete an item from your library
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click Delete Item.
Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Trash. The item is removed the next time you empty the Trash.
I believe you meant to Control click which is the same as a right click on your mouse, to get a list of commands. That also works.
Cheers,

ITunes 9.1 does not work with Windows 7 64-bit

I just updated my itunes to 9.1. Now it will not start or falsely tells me someone else is already using it. That's not true. No one else is using it. When I reboot and start fresh iTunes will work. But when I close it and try to get back onto it, nothing happens or I get the error message that someone else is using it. My prior version worked fine on Windows 7 64-bit.

I'm having issues also. I have a Gateway desk top and it has Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes 9 will not install. Keeps saying it could not access my network location. I can't seem to get any resolution from Gateway or Apple for this problem. Even my Adobe Reader 9 doesn't work and I've only had this computer fot 2 WEEKS! Oh! Let's not forget Adobe Flash Player won't download either.

ITunes Download Link does NOT work

When I opened my iTunes today it told me that there was a new update iTunes 5.0.1 was available.. so it took me to the website but I don't see anything but text. I can't see any download buttons or links or anything like that, same thing goes to the iPod Download page.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
This has never happened before.. I need help..
From the look of all the posts here, is 5.0.1 worth the risk? Many of you talk about problems.. I never had a problem installing 5.0 so would I be getting problems..?

OK fellow iTunes users, try this:
1. Make sure you have that file called "mapi32.dll" found in your Windows/system 32 folder.
If you cant find it let me know, I can guide you through it.
Next, make sure All these are started: TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, Windows Management Instrument, and WMI Performance Adapter.
How to do this: Click on the Start Menu;Right Click on my computer and then choose manage in that menu. In the left hand panel click "services and applications" and double click services. Find those files and then click them and see if they say started and automatic.
Next: download QuickTime 7 stand alone. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
If you are running mcafee or nortons, disable your firewall, antivirus and all that. Then restart
Next: Download Bonjour for Windows. Heres the link: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Restart your computer. Remember if you have that anti virus crap, turn it off for the DL.
Next: Download apple itunes and restart, turning off all virus programs again. It should work from there. Good luck

Are you getting an error message, anthi? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I upgraded to version 18, and it no longer works. I uninstalled, ran CCleaner registry cleaner, reinstalled full version and it still does not work., Windows 7

I have been running Firefox 17.x with no issues. Updated to Firefox 18 today, and it will not render a single web page. IE and Chrome work fine. Running on 64Bit Win7 Ultimate. 6 Core/16GB Ram. Latest updates for windows, as of this weeks release. I have done a complete uninstall, run both CCleaner and Norton 360 Registry cleaner to ensure previous traces removed. Reinstalled full version. Still cannot/will not render a web page. No noted activity within the browser window. No error codes to provide.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
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.

ITunes photo synchronization does not work with iPad

Hello,
I have an iPad and wanted to synchronize pictures on it. When I enable synchronization of pictures in iTunes and choose a folder and synchronize afterwards the synch finishes after 3 secounds and nothing happens.
I have an iPhone 3GS as well and there it works properly.
I tryed it with FW 3.2.2 on iTunes 9.2 and now I updated all to FW 4.2.1 and iTunes 10.1.1.4 but the problem still exists.
I deleted the picture cache from the folder (solution from another forum - same problem on a mac) but it doesnt change anything.
I know how to use the synchronization from my iPhone. I hope someone knows the problem and have a solution for it?
Thanks

The question is the following: Is it possible to have the screensaver display the artwork, when the music library is unmounted?
Based on the set up you describe, no.
Most of the times, such categorical answers are proved wrong.
Here is what solved my issue: I signed in iTunes Store (it's sad that a credit card is required for that) and then downloaded the Album art work from inside the iTunes application. Next time i had the external drive unmounted, when the screensaver went on it showed the album artworks like a charm.
So, my piece of advice for those that do not want to sign in iTunes Store is to copy the contents of the Cache directory (located under ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork) into the Download directory (located under ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork again). I haven't tested, but it could work.

System Restore does not work (Windows 7)

I believe that my internal wireless network card has died although the laptop is only 8 months old, but that's another issue.
I'm running Windows 7, and I tried to have system restore backup to a few days ago. There have been no changes to the computer in this time other than Windows update. After performing system restore and rebooting, I have a message that system restore was cancelled because there was a file in use. It suggested I disable anti-virus protection. After disabling that, I tried system restore once again. The computer seemed to be doing it right, but after reboot, I got the same message that it could not be performed due to a file in use.
I've turned off everything I can think of, does anybody know why might be causing system restore to stop and how it could be corrected?
Thanks

If you cannot do a System Restore from the Recovery Environment (as Archie suggested), then probably the restore points have become corrupt. That's not uncommon.
To repair that, turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all the previous restore points.
Turn System Restore on or off
If you post again, tell us which computer you have.

Itunes wifi sync does not work after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

Hi,
After upgrade to OS X Yosemite itunes wifi sync with my ipad and iphone stopped working. After attaching the iphone and ipad with a cable, I could sync, but as soon as the cable was removed, the ipad and iphone disappeared again from itunes. And wifi did still nok work.

Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save. Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread. It's been working for him for some fifteen hours. I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes. My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
Uncheck WiFi syncing
Click Apply
Quit iTunes
Launch iTunes
Check WiFi syncing
Click Apply
