ITunes 7.0 & Firmware 1.2 Help!

Hey guys,
I have my 30gb Video iPod, and it's been working for the past 9months which i;ve owned it. Just about an hour ago I update iTunes and Firmeware, but now i'm regretting it. Before the update my Videos were working and now, they're not. They just come up and play as audio, as though it is the format which is wrong. The format is right because ive had the same videos ont here and they all worked before, it was just when I added some new ones and went to watch them that I realised none of them were working.
This is sooo frustrating and I really need help with it.
If anyone has any ideas, please post.
Thanks guys!

The old iPod updater software is how you will fix all of this. Unfortunately, because iTunes 7 thinks that it's better and more up to date, it will prevent you from opening the old version of the software if you still have it on your machine.
So first of all, uninstall iTunes 7.0. (You do not have to remove your library information, just the software.) Restart the computer.
If you still have the old iPod updater, try it and see if it runs. If it does, read on. If not, skip to the next paragraph. So, if it does run, simply hit Restore and you can go back to a previous version of the firmware. I believe that Apple discontinued the firmware page since releasing iTunes 7. Look around some search engines like Google if you really want the latest firmware.
Take out the installation CD that came with your iPod. Run it and it should install the old iPod updater along with iTunes 6.x. iTunes 6.x cannot run since iTunes 7 changed your libary's formatting, but that will not be a problem. Run the Restore process in the old updater and it should be alright for you to start loading your stuff on again without problems.
Since iTunes 7 reformatted your libary listing, iTunes 6 will no longer work. However, you can still use it by reinstalling iTunes 7. Just make sure you do the following.
TO KEEP THE SAME THING FROM HAPPENING AGAIN
iTunes 7 is actually alright. It's the updater part of it that will screw up your iPod.
- iTunes 7 will tell you that a new iPod software version is available when you open it.
- Check the "Never Ask Again" box and click Don't Install.
- When you sync your iPod to your computer, NEVER touch the Version section when you're changing your iPod's settings. Everything else is alright to work with.
- Everything will work fine as long as you never update the iPod's software via iTunes, at least until the programmers can fix this issue in a later release or patch.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

An iTunes Library Transfer Puzzle...Help!

Okay, let me try to be as clear as possible...
I keep my iTunes library on an external firewire drive.
I'm preparing to transfer all operations, including iTunes, to my new Macbook (from my old eMac)
Prepping for this move, I noticed that at some point imported music stopped going to my external drive and started going to my eMac drive.
So now my iTunes library is split between my eMac and an external firewire drive.
NOW FOR THE PUZZLE:
I want to transfer all the files from the eMac to their rightful home on the external drive.
Is there a simple way to move all these files at once (about 17 GB worth) so that the iTunes browser and my playlists will know to look for the songs on the external drive not the eMac?
Once everything is on the external drive as it should be, I plan to transfer the whole library to the iTunes browser on my Macbook.
My big fear is that the playlists will get screwed up (playlists consist of songs now on the eMac AND on the external drive).
Anyone out there able to help me sort this out?
Thanks a bunch.

jsguntzel,
Welcome to Discussions.
Prepping for this move, I noticed that at some
point imported music stopped going to my external
drive and started going to my eMac drive.
This might have happened when running iTunes with the
external drive not yet mounted/attached.
iTunes has to have a folder to store the next ripped
CD and will reset the 'iTunes Music folder location'
to the default location (on your internal disk) if it
doesn't find your 'iTunes Music' folder.
I want to transfer all the files from the eMac to
their rightful home on the external drive.
Set the 'iTunes Music folder location'
(Preferences>Advanced>General) to the folder
containing your music on the external disk.
Then choose 'Consolidate Library...' from the
Advanced menu in the menubar.
This will copy all music which is not already there,
to the external disk.
After that is done, you can delete the 'iTunes Music'
folder on the eMac.
Note: only delete the 'iTunes Music' folder inside
the 'iTunes' folder. Don't delete the library files.
Once everything is on the external drive as it
should be, I plan to transfer the whole library to
the iTunes browser on my Macbook.
Copy the 'iTunes Library' file (in
/Users/Username/Music/iTunes) to the external disk.
Attach the external disk to the MacBook.
Copy the 'iTunes Library' file from the external disk
to /Users/Username/Music/iTunes on the MacBook.
Run iTunes on the MacBook. All playlists and songs
should be there.
To transfer the music from the external to the
MacBook, read the detailed instructions in: iTunes: Moving your iTunes
Music folder
In short that would mean for your situation:
Reset the 'iTunes Music folder location'
Consolidate library
At the end, all songs and playlists will be on the
MacBook.
More information about the library files can be found
here: What are the iTunes library
files?
Hope this helps.

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

TS1410 My ipod nano 3rd gen. is not recognized by my computer or itunes. Support page does not help.

My macbook is not recognizing my 3rd gen. ipod nano after I reset the ipod. THe finder not itunes recognizes it. Can someone help?

If you have not already, disconnect the iPod and restart your Mac. Do this to Reset the iPod.

Once the Mac restarts, run iTunes and connect the iPod.
If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
then, connect it to the Mac running iTunes. It's possible that iTunes will tell you that you need to Restore the iPod.

When I turn on my computer,an error message says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe-entry point not found The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". Can't access itunes store,sync,buy etc. Help...

When I turn on my computer, an error message says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe-entry point not found. The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll" Cannot access itunes store, sync phone, etc. Two weeks ago did this and Apple support had me remove and reinstall iTunes. Doing it again. Help....

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

My computer will no longer bring up itunes. It says, "file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

It sounds like your phone is in recovery mode, which means it needs to be restored through iTunes on your computer in order to get out of it.

5th Gen iPod won't sync using new iTunes and new Firmware

I updated the iTunes software and firmware for my iPod, and I was excited about how cool it looked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It synchronized once. Since then, it hasn't worked. iTunes just freezes up and the "Do Not Disconnect Screen" never goes away. It will just sit there for hours doing nothing and telling me that it is updating, when it fact it is doing nothing. I have even gone through all of the steps of reseting, re-installing, and reformatting it. It still won't sync, but now I have the pleasure of having a 6-month old 60 gig blank hard drive. Has anyone else experienced syncing problems? Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?

I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.
