ITunes causing problems when downloaded to windows 8

I downloaded iTunes to my new Toshiba which came with Windows 8. It recognized my iPad no problem, however, the next day my computer kept turning itself off and then restarting every 3 or 4 minutes. The Toshiba tech help said it was because Windows has made Windows 8 incompatible with iTunes. We did a factory reset on my computer but I would really like to have iTunes on it. I haven't heard anything else like this, has anyone here?

Sorry I found this so late, its March 5th 2013 and yes the issue is the same. Basically iTunes and Windows 8 are incompatable.
I had to so the same and spent the next 2 days re-installing everything. I made this same mistake twice, thinking" oh no thats not possible, Apple would never relase that" ..well they did and it needs to be fixed. I will email them and bring this to their attention.
Basically after I installed iTunes and my DVD drives ( I have 3) disappeared and my registry was corrupted.
Fortunately I have True Image and had a back up image.
So folks, out there if you have Windows 8 Pro and an Intel chipset, what has been your experience after installing the latest iTunes??
For my part, I have dual boot with Windows 7 on it, , the latest iTunes works fine.

Windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store

windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store
I have 250 windows 8.1 tablets.
I figured since you can use the same account on 81 devices id create 4 accounts.
I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
Thank You.

Hi,
As far as I know, One Microsoft Account may bound at most five Trusted computers. There is no way to break this limitation.

TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh). First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there. Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

Interesting response, Kappy - Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook). Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
     1) I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference? Why the different toatl count?
     2) Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. What's in those files? And where are they?
Probably more important questions get down to:
     3) Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"? This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle. Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
     4) And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
Thanks again for your interest and comments. - Russ-AZ

Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? First step in Bootcamp Assistant is to download the support software. Then did you install the support software from within Windows?

ITunes update problem leading to a Windows NTLDR error

I also experienced the "MCVCR80.dll is missing" / "Error 7, Windows error 126" iTunes update error like almost everyone else. I followed turingtest2's solution that has been posted in the countless threads on this problem (e.g. <a href="https://discussions.apple.com/message/24618776#24618776" >https://discussions.apple.com/message/24618776#24618776</a>); really, turingtest2's solution is coming from Apple's own <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923" >HT1923</a> & <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925" >HT1925</a> articles.
My computer would not reboot, though! I got the error, "NTLDR IS MISSING", which indicates a *major* operating system problem. In trying to troubleshoot this problem, I've gotten myself into a real mess: it looks like I may have inadvertently wiped Windows and perhaps all my installed applications off my hard drive, in effect taking me back to my new out of the box state in 2005!!
I had Windows XP SP3 with all current updates installed, along with the Apple software needed to support my iPod Touch 3 and my iPad 3.
Here's what I did:
(1) I removed the applications in the order turingtest2 stated, running into the anticipated problem with Apple Mobile Device Support but pressing on as suggested.
(2) After uninstalling the final application, Apple Application Support, I retried uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Support one more time, but it failed to uninstall again, so I just pressed on.
(3) Because Apple Mobile Device Support failed to uninstall, I decided to check out the <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925" >HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP</a> article per turingtest2's suggestion, and did the extra step of making sure that iTunes and its related components are completely uninstalled.
(4) That included manually removing the Apple Mobile Device Support subfolder from the Common Files folder, that I assumed was still around because Apple Mobile Device Support failed to fully uninstall (btw I did NOT have any problem with iPodService being removed).
(5) I rebooted my computer.
(6) During that reboot process, as my computer was trying to load Windows from my hard drive, on a black screen appeared: "NTLDR IS MISSING, PRESS CTRL-ALT-DELETE TO RESTART".
(7) No other key press worked, so I did a ctrl-alt-delete, and the computer rebooted and then just displayed the same 'ntldr is missing' message.
(8) I did a forced shutdown (by holding in the power button) and turned on my computer again, just to get the same ntldr message.
(9) I used my iPad to research that message on the Internet, and found that I may be missing a couple of operating system files (ntldr & ntdetect.com) on my hard drive, which I can reload from my original Windows CDs . But like with most PC owners, my computer didn't come with any such CDs, though I did create Recovery CDs at home as advised (the ones I found in my desk were SP3 luckily).
(10) So I followed <a href="http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/ntldrmissingxp.htm" >the Internet instructions</a> of inserting 'the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer", rebooting the computer (I first verified that my BIOS is set to boot from a CD before my main hard drive), and pressing the "R" key to repair Windows.
(11) The remainder of the instructions would have had me then logging into Windows and copying the two before-mentioned files off the CD and into the root directory of my hard drive. But it didn't let me do that. Instead it just began automatically restoring Windows off the CD and onto my hard drive.
(12) Once that started, I didn't dare attempt to intervene.
(13) When it finished, it had me reboot.
(14) After loading, Windows displayed the first screen of the newly installed Windows setup procedure, a screen that I have seen many times on computers at work that I have reformatted hard drives on and installed a fresh Windows on (I served as my small (20-employees) company's network administrator because, though technically a novice relative to most network gurus, as an experienced computer programmer I knew the most about computers there).
(15) Afraid of taking another step forward, I haven't gone past that first screen. This is where I'm at right now.
I'm scared of going further because I don't know what Recovery has done to this point. I assume it would leave all my data files alone, though that wouldn't be a catastrophe, since I do full and incremental backups to an external drive. But has it in fact already reinstalled whatever the Windows it had on that CD overtop of the Windows on my hard drive? Has it already wiped all my installed applications from my hard drive? Or will it do any of this in the steps following this first screen? Can I avert a catastrophe or is it already too late?
If I were a regular user it would still be a big problem. But as a guy who makes his living with his computer, it is a catastrophe. Yes, I have all my original purchased software CDs. But I also have accumulated dozens if not hundreds of freeware software programs.
I don't know which of Apple's steps to uninstall iTunes caused my problem, but of course one of them did, in combination with my unique computer's state. Please, turingtest2 and others, if you can help me, I would so appreciate it. And of course it would be best if we can find a solution to avoid others potentially having the same problem.
Thank you,
Gary Schankula (Canada)

I just made a back up DVD on the G5 and then loaded it onto the Vista iTunes .. worked great and took 10 mins total with both machines

Merry Christmas!... iTunes causes error when executed

Hi!
I have recieved a nice new iPod nano for crimbo. I already had a previous version of iTunes on my desktop as a friend was using it for their mini some time ago. I installed all the software which came with the new nano and for some reason when i plug the nano in it comes up with an error message saying iTunes caused an error and won't load. I have uninstalled via control panel/ reinstalled using the latest version of iTunes from apple and its the same error:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It then copies a list of technical stuff to appcompat.txt which goes for about 2 pages.
I have installed iTunes on my laptop (which didn't have a previuous version of iTunes on it) and it is working fine. It's just a pain only having it working on that machine.
Has anyone else had problems? I am guessing it might have something to do with the registry or something that cannot be removed via control panel.
Happy Christmas to all and I hope Santa was good to you!
P.S. I have no NIS firewall running. Only a router from which the laptop is running also.

"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch, or does it give you an error message?
if it gives you an error message, first try this technique (switch off any antivirus or antispyware prior to uninstalls or repair installs):
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted.

ITunes Encountering Problems When Importing CDs

Since I allowed an iTunes update about a month ago (?), I've been having problems importing certain (apparently random) CDs. I import a lot of books on CD, and many times "iTunes encounters a problem and has to shut down." Not always. For example, the book I'm trying to import this afternoon worked fine on the first disc, but not at all on the second. I got the shutdown message after only a few seconds. I always join the tracks before importing.
Earlier today, I was having trouble with a number of discs, but it would occur when the import was much further along. I thought I'd figured out a workaround -- instead of joining all the tracks on the CD, I joined them into two sets, each half the size of the full CD. Then imported them one at a time. Worked like a charm for about 5 discs. Then I started importing a new book, thought I'd get brave and try to import a whole CD. Worked like a charm on CD #1. Then I got to #2, and not only did it only work for a few seconds before shutting down iTunes when they were all joined together, when I tried my workaround, that didn't work either.
I'm running iTunes 6.0.1.3, with CD Driver 2.0.4.3 and CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2.
I ran CD diagnostics on the disc I'm currently having trouble with. Here are the results:

Well, thanks for all the help, folks.
After playing around with every permutation I could think of under preferences\advanced\importing, in desparation (because the problem kept getting worse - to the point that I couldn't import any joined tracks at all) I allowed a version update to 6.0.4.2.
No more problem.

UNICODE Problem when Download to TXT/ASC file.

Dear Experts,
Due to the Unicode system takes each chinese character as a byte, the field(10) can take 10 Chinese Characters, not like before only 5 characters allowed.
The problem is when the data is downloaded to a txt file, the field ,length 10, contained Characters, is displayed 10 chinese characters(that's 20 bytes in txt file). It causes the displayed field length are varied between the definition length of field and the actual output.
ex.
102¶^ª00012345       --> the output I actully want.
102¶^ª     000012345 --> unicode makes this in txt file, lenth 10, fill 5 characters but still leave 5 space.
How to make system take the chinese characters as 2 bytes when download....or any other better idea for this?
anyone who can solve this, that's life saving..!!!
thanks in advnace.

Sorry, the chinese chararcters cannot display properly,
so just assume each '@' as a chinese character. Five chinese Characters should occupy whole field length(10),
but Unicode makes it like line 2, still leave 5 space culomn behind(using to represent the empty column).
ex.
102@@@@@00012345      --> the output I actully want.
102@@@@@000012345 -- the actual output.
thanks.

Could you give me some advise about this?

I deleted the 4oD app from my iPad but it still appears in the list in Settings. How do I get rid of that? It is causing problems when they issue updates as it apparently thinks I still have it when I don't.

Can any one help me get rid of a deleted app 4oD that still appears in the Settings list. I deleted it from the home screen and Spotlight search confirms it has gone. It is causing problems because I get notified of updates and I cannot get rid of them either. I have tried re-downloading via my MacBook because there isn't a download option from the iPad (App Store clearly think I still have it when I don't) then deleting again but the listing in Settings remains.
It is really irritating me.
Thanks.

Have you tried deleting the App within the Settings menu (rather than from the Home Screen)?
Settings>General>Usage>
From the Apps list, find the App (press "Show all Apps" if the app is not in the immediately shown list), tap on the app you wish to delete, then tap "Delete App"

Having problem with downloading the window driver

Hi i have Macbook. i have OS X 10.6.7. I installed Window XP using bootcamp. only problem is that i dont have the original disk when i bought the Macbook. is there any other way to download the driver without the original CD? Thank you.
(and for some reason it wont let me download the windows support driver... do i need Blank CD in the Mac to download it?)

Hi,
sorry to say but you need the original OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
No legal place to download those. Only the later updates which require the Drivers from the OSX disc to be installed.
With the exemption of the MacBook Air the download of the 'Windows Support Software' does not function currently.

Problems when downloading a podcast

Hi,
I need help on what to do when I get a error message when downloading a podcast. To be specific, the Mad Money Jim Cramer's Podcast.
When I try to download the podcast, the message that appears is: "There was a problem downloading, Authorization is needed to access, http://release.theplatform.com/release/content.mp4?pid=JY98jfsO...."
How can I fix this??

i tried going to the website and it tells me tha the media is not available. then i tried going the the main website (http://release.theplatform.com/) and it asks me to login with a user name and password. so, if you are trying to download the podcast from this link it is probably not available anymore.

Annoying problem when downloading packages

The problem started some time ago. When downloading packages, pacman only downloads a few packages at a time and errors out on the remaining ones with the "Service not available, closing control connection" message. If I try again, it will download the next few packages and error out again. I can repeat this until all packages are downloaded and then install them successfully, but this is certainly annoying. The number of downloaded packages is not always constant, but about the same each time and it seems to differ from mirror to mirror (kernel.org ~8, tu-chemnitz.de ~3).
Unfortunately I cannot say exactly when it started happening, but I guess a few months ago. At first I thought it could be the mirror acting weird, but I don't think this is the case now. Before that, I had no problems at all.
My network works just fine in all other cases, so I doubt the problem is there.

that error is because of: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20371
just use http over ftp and it would be fine
