ITunes 64bit edt on Windows 8 - Library serious error

Hi everyone thankyou for looking at this.
Ok so recently, I booted up my PC then clicked on the iTunes shortcut opened it up and to my shock and horror ...No music/playlists/ratings/play count..
Frustrated and annoyed I naturally went into the preferences then clicked on and library to the itunes media folder...Naturally this would just add in the media. Therefore loosing all my data.
So I held my head hi and thought of it as a positive and then created some new playlists etc and started rating songs again.
This morning its happened again....This is soo annoying!
Please help me!

Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.

  • ITunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50) ?????????????

    So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
    not only do i have to redo whatever changes i make to my itunes but it lost a song i recently purchased because it "cant save" my itunes library. this is so frustrating. is there going to be a 7.3.1 coming out anytime soon to fix this problem because i know I'm not the only one who has it!!

    So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
    If you're getting that one on iTunes 7.3.0.54, try an upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3. (Note that Michael, who replied to you earlier in the thread, is reporting that here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4923385#4923385 )
    Here's a link to the new installer:

  • Itunes refuses to recognise my ipad telling me that i need to uninstall itunes and reinstall the itunes 64bit version for windows - i am on windows 7 and all was working fine until suddenly for no reason at all itunes had some apple support error

    I have windows 7 and all has been fine until 2 days ago when suddenly i turned on my laptop and i got some error message about some apple support program error - i didnt tkae notice of it only that i couldnt run itunes, so i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it now runs as normal, but now it wont recognise my ipad saying that 64bit version is not installed - WHAT RUBBISH IS THIS? i downloaded and installed the 64bit version from applie and yet the error persists - can some one please tell me how i can get itunes to recognise my ipad again - this seems like such a ridiculous error for these two apple products to be conflicting with each other - please help

    well i have found that i needed to not just uninstall itunes, but also apple mobile device support, bonjour apple software update and apple application support - uninstall all these and then install itunes - that seesm to have fixed it, though now i am sync fail - that's a different matter perhaps

  • Itunes will not add folder to library - no error messages

    I have an archive of about 4 thousand albums and have decided to use Itunes to manage them. Windows Media Player is terrible for large archives - it's database is poorly designed. Anyway, when I tell Itunes to add a folder (containing 1000 artists each in its folder)to its library it stops at around seventy every time. Also within the 70 artists folders it ingested I have several albums that didn't ingest.
    what's going on?
    on a related subject, Itunes does not seem to be smart enough to know that it already has a song in its library that you are trying to ingest.
    thanks for any help!

    iTUnes for windows has a limit, not sure exactly what number that limit is yet but if you goto file>add folder to library it only catches so many til it reaches a limit then it stops.
    Also iTUnes is designed to add whats called "Duplicates" because it takes for granted your the smarter one. If you had to songs that are somewhat the same, one is the original, one is a remix, the tags might not note this. You may have .... Britney SPears - hit me one more time then another one thats a remix BUT the tags say the same thing "Britney SPears - hit me one more time" So instead of stoping the second song from coming in, it lets it in so later you can edit the tags to denote its a remix.
    Now since you have such a large swath of music all in there own lil folders, Id think the easy thing to do is let iTUnes auto search your system and add them all. Theres no feature like this built into iTUnes UI but theres a feature like this when you delete a hidden pref file. When this file is deleted and you open itunes again, you get a set up wizard, it in this wizard you get the option to have iTUnes search the whole system for music and media files.
    Go here to B noirs post about deleting this pref file http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=531850&tstart=0

  • ITunes 10.5 for windows vista 64 bits - error

    I've been trying to install itunes 10.5 since december and even after the newer versions were out i've been having the same problem.
    An error occur:
    An error occurred during installation of assembly
    'Microsoft.VC80.CRT type="Win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",process
    orArchitecture='x86'. Please refer to Help and
    Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002
    Then I have to cancel it. Then shows: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127).
    I was told to scan the PC, uninstall and reinstall all apple programs, or uninstall from the highest version to the lowest version and reinstall in chronological order.
    But no version of itunes 10.5 works. Not even the newest version at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427?viewlocale=pt_BR works.
    Only the 10.4 version I had before can work, and now my iphone has iOS 5.0 and i cant use my itunes.
    Any new ideas?

    Its a Issue with your C++ Library on your computer, a way to fix it is to Rebuild your entire C++ Library from uninstalling the highest version to the lowest verision and reinstalling them back in chronological order..
    I would suggest to contact apple support, request a Senior advisor they should be able to get that squared away, now if your not in phone support period you will probably have to pay for support.
    I'd suggest the apple care if you havent got it yet

  • I can't install itunes 10.7 on windows.  Schema.strings error message

    I cannot install itunes 10.7.  All I get is an error message which reads
    Error writing to file: C:\Programme Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\Bookmarks.synchschema\Contents\Resources\fi.lproj\ Schema.strings Verify you have access to that directory.
    The schema.strings file is in the location required but I still can't install.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Cant finish installing iTunes 10.6 to windows 7, keep getting error message 7, unable to download iTunes help. Ideas?

    I started with the "cannot locate network file .msi" msg. I bought perfect uninstall to remove all traces of apple software from computer, it was able to remove the so called defective file. For 3 hours I tried to reload 10.6 and got a new error code 7, unable to install iTunes help, and I still can't get it or the old versions of iTunes back on my computer. I have since removed the software again and defragmented the drive with no success. Seems like a lot of people are having similar issues. I am very frustrated. I was so happy with apple products till now, so disappointed they would release such faulty software! Any ideas?

    Repair your Apple Application Support.
    Restart Computer, go to Control Panel/Program and Features/highlight AAS and click REPAIR button.

  • Itunes 7.0 for windows will not install Error 1392

    I get an error message when i try to update to 7.0 It says could not set security file for file 'C:\documents and settings\all users\application data/apple computer/itunes/SCinfo\'.Error1392

    Hopglock,
    You have your permissions on that folder or another folder in the hierarchy set to read only permission or some other security lock down. You need to turn off read only or change security permission so that the iTunes installer can write to
    the
    C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\SCinfo
    folder.

  • MSI K72N Delta LSR - windows XP keeps stop codes and serious errors Puzzled why

    hi,
       System specs
    AMD sempron 2400
    512mb DDR PC3200 ( 2 x 256nb Matrix module brand memory written on chips )
    MSI K7N2 Delta LSR ( lastest Bios )
    Onboard sound - Enabled
    Onboard lan - Disabled
    Liteon DVD Rom
    CD-RW 52x
    ATI Radeon 9550 ( installed at moment )
    before was a Nvidia FX5700 LE took back faulty as tried radeon 9800 pro and was ok for a couple hours
    got Nvidia FX 5500 - faulty fan making noise on boot.
    Ive built a System up and its been running fine for a few months and then 1 day system crashed and got windows recovered from serious error and and wound't shut down but only restart.
    Replaced memory that was in and checked with mem99 and said it was faults so replaced memory and shutdown problem vanished.
    Few days later windows xp started saying recovered from serious error again with stop codes
    0x0000050
    Bccode 10000050
    Bccode 1000008e
    Bccode 1000000a
    Stop Code D1
    They was the stop codes been getting since, some said Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, IRQL_not_less or Equal
    Im puzzled what the problem can be know, even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows twice and not solved it, tried a another cdrom drive and still same.
    Im puzzled what the problem can be.

    Temps are fine running about 45'c in windows and max about 52'c when in full load ive got motherboard monitor on all time monitering temps and also recording and save out log file when turned off for temps.
    Its a retail boxed AMD Sempron which i dont think much to the stock heatsink and fan ( Athlon 64bit ones are loads better copper base and heat compound instead of sticky pad )
    The new memory is only think is got whats wrote on the memory modules is called Matrix, I know from past experience's when u reinstall windows and files cant copy across ok and keeps saying cant read file etc or cant copy file during installation thats indication bad memory strip, ive even got a memory thats fault ( i only use for testing and diagnostic ) as 1 of the memory modules comes up fault in memtest96 and even tried that and still same, thats how i found out in first place memory was causing system not to shutdown properly.
    What i can try is my memory as ive got 1.5gig in Elixir branded and i know thats ok 100% with nforce 2 boards as i had a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and ran elixir memory with np, before i got a Gigabyte KT880 board.
    Antivirus ive got running on system at the moment is AVG and always used it all time, it dont use any cpu usage and also saved my system loads from virus as it caught them as they tried to run and stop them, something norton's dont seem to do very well.
    I give modem a try on a USB hub but its strange when u unplug USB its ok and NTL recommends when modem stops working to unplug power from back modem and leave it a while and it comes back on, done this in past successfully but this time its blue screening, Which could be part of windows main files are corrupted. The USB Modem is running of its own PSU so shound't be using USB power at all, if it was that explain blue screen when taking power off as it do it when taking usb out.
    Error codes ive watched a Microsoft web broadcast ( over a hour long ) about error codes and 40% of them are software + hardware related combined they make it sound so easy to diagnose them but in reality unless u know windows 100% its hard to.
    Harddrive seems to copy files ok across and back, i have to try another Harddrive and see but from past experiences when Harddrives are about to fail windows seems to stall, lockup and also just stop responding when accessing certain programs or files.
    Its a confusing 1 as u solve 1 piece of puzzle another comes up and throws u off track again.
    Looking that all parts ive replaced so far have solved 1 or another problem to only reveal another hidden, PC's who have them lol
    If i solve it i post my finding np it keep me busy for a couple days testing things, u learn something new every day with pc's new faults and problems and how to solve them, try too lol
    And most of time its compatibility problems but odd times hardware or software.

  • Windows 7 64bit, itunes 64bit recognize itunes 32bit

    I have a windows7 64bit and i downloaded and installed itunes64setup.exe.
    Install is finish ok.
    when i running itunes, in task manager is reported a 32bit proccess "itunes.exe (*32bit)".
    Itunes running ok, but when i connect my iphone, itunes generated a popup message "iphone not running in 32bit version, uninstall itunes and download itunes 64bit"
    This is a 64bit version! or no?

    I have a similar problem. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7 64-Bit. I've started to rebuild my iTunes library and it was all going well. However, I noticed a lot of my files are starting to loop the first second or so of the intro for around 6 seconds before the song plays normally. At the time, I didn't think of this as a problem, but the exact same looping occurs on the iPod itself on the same files, at the same time, everytime.
    After deleting the broken files and getting new versions of the same songs, I decided to test them in Windows Media Player first and there was no intro looping. Assuming all was well, I added these files to iTunes, tidied up the song info, added album art and then played the tracks to see if the looping was still gone. Some of the tracks were fine, but others had developed the intro looping. Playing these same files in Windows Media Player again, after running them throgh iTunes, also now has the looping which it previously did not.
    iTunes seems to be destroying my files. Is there any way to fix this?
