ITunes compatibility problems with Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

I get this message on my screen:
iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before you open it.
When I open my iTunes the only music I can see is that which I downloaded from iTunes; the other music I have which I have physically loaded via CD, although on my PC and playable through Media Center is unobtainable through my iTunes home window.
Can anybody help me fathom this out?

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
Usually, a computer can appear to hang (stop responding) in the situations of insufficient system resources, high CPU usage, high disk usage, deadlock in kernel mode or key system processes, or hardware problem.
You can check if this hang issue usually hangs when high load, that may points to a resource issue, enable perfmon log to located which process caused that.
Regarding to the deadloack issue, based on my experience, most of these issues caused by the outdated driver, refer to the following action plans:
==========
1. upgrade all the hardware driver, firmware, BIOS.
2. upgrade the AV software.
3. Run disk check, if there is build-in hardware health Diagnostics Utility, also run it.

Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?

Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?

Problem solved. The music was from Amazon MP3 store and I had to re-download it from the Amazon Cloud Player to my hard drive. It was there, but not even the Amazon Cloud Player software would play it from my PC, though it would from the Cloud. So after the re-download, I was able to add it to my iTunes Library.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
Help, please...

Hello Smis,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...). I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images. Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
Peace

I purchased Windows 8 Prow/Media Center, now I can't get it to download

I purchased Windows 8 Pro and the Media Center pack and installed them on a computer which was recently stolen. Upon replacing the laptop with a similar machine I am unable to download Windows 8. I can connect to the site and the download begins,
but it estimates more than 12 hours for the download. The few times I've tried to wait it out, something
always happens to cause the download to fail. Other programs I have downloaded to replace the stolen ones have downloaded very quickly, under an hour for an above 1GB program, but Windows 8 is not hardly downloading at all. The new machine came preinstalled
with Windows 8.1, but won't upgrade to Pro w/Media Center. Am I going to have to install Windows 7 and then try upgrading again, or should I be able to reinstall the OS from the website even though the version being downloaded is Windows 8 and the current
OS is Windows 8.1?

Thanks for your quick response, but I will not be purchasing
anymore
(This is totally absurd, you guys can't even program your website to work right!)
Microsoft
(Well since the buttons aren't working, I guess this will have to be done in bold type?!?) products in the future. I am totally fed up with Microsoft and Apple forcing their customers to constantly change to new OS's with all kinds of "bells and whistles"
that I don't and have never had need for and consequently new machines in order to use their computers. I haven't programmed for years, but I'm going to go to
Linux anddliub
(why does this write backwards? That was supposed to be 'build') my own software. Terrible inconvenience, but maybe I can get a movement started!

Windows 10 Becomes Windows 8 When Media Center is added

While setting up and installing Media center with the Key that I have, It changes Windows 10 to windows 8.1 pro.
It keeps all the files, but renders builds useless.
I think that there needs to be a way to disable this or fix it.
a lot of people that are using Media center would like to use it with out it mucking up the works.
Is there a way to repair and fix this issue.
Oh and Media Center Does not Run it crashes when trying to execute on Windows 10 Enterprise.

Media Center is NOT supported by Win 10.
Sorry.

Reviewing the data, it appears that to be inaccurate
to state that "Media Center" "is NOT Compatible with windows 10".
I give this reason for the justification of the argument
Windows Media Center is Keycode activated
and is part of the OS.
If it is a part of the os then it is intentional design of the product .
There fore seeing how it is a part of the product and there is no Hack being performed then how can we state that Media Center is not compatible.
that is like stating that my "Honda Insight" while it is a Hybrid can not run in electric only mode.
While not advertised to be able to run it in electric Mode, a knowledgeable user can manipulate the gas pedal and use electric mode as it was intended for .In this case the gas pedal depressed sends the vehicle in to charging mode, and then a light
amount of pressure on the gas will allow the said vehicle to run in Electric mode only until said battery is depleted.
Gas Pedal is the control mechanism for activating and deactivating the EV mode in the car
Windows Key Code is the mechanism for activating certain software in windows.
So this statement must be true and logical.
Windows 10 is built on Windows 8 back bone and thus because this is true, Windows 10 becomes Windows 8 Media Center because Windows 10 is windows 8 at the heart of the beast.
So to state that Media Center is NOT compatible is an untrue statement.
How ever what is true once you activate Media Center, there is enough changes to the registry that renders it to Windows 8 but not enough to cause a full deactivation.
Also if it where the case then , the registry system should have rejected the key .
So in my opinion Windows 10 is Windows 8 as it should have been originally .

IPod Classic - ok with Windows, not with iTunes

Hi,
I have a Classic 160GO iPod.
Suddenly this problem appeared :
- no music or pictures were recognized by my iPod, but the disk space was used for "Other"
- this iPod is not known with iTunes
- This iPod is known as a removable hard disk, via Windows 7 (Main computer), Windows XP (secondary computer), a linux thing (a friend computer).
1. I already checked this iPod with the diagnostics mode (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/19048752#19048752)
result is :
- reallocs : 0
- Pending sectors : 32
My understanding is that my iPod hard disk is ok and valid.
2. I followed most of the recommended way to repaird the iPod as per Support (8 out of 10)
NOthing is working.
I confirm I have installed the latest version of iTunes.
3. I read the following page : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19158071#19158071 to find the relevant firmware.
But the iPod Classic 160GO is not in the list.
My questions
--> Do you have an idea to solve my problem ?
--> What could happend i I format my iPod with windows ? It would be only a hard disk after, wouldn't it ?
--> I f I format, is there a solution to re-install the iPod software (= firmware ?)
Thank you for your help.

The iPod hardisk is looks new from the Reallocs and ON Hours, but, it is rebooting more to get the correct spin for data verification, causing tImeouts, so the Pending Sector will increase.
There maybe something, near the iPod environment, that is causing the drive to fail, and overheat, if it has not already been damaged, or maybe it is just one Hardisk, that slipped through poor quality control.
You can bring the Retract, Realloc and pending number low, by doing low level format, see this article, but your problem of Hardisk rebooting to find a good cluster, wont go away
Just my thoughts.
Magnets are the primary cause of hardisk crashes, I would also suspect, using your handphone, while it is near the iPod would also be bad, see the YouTube video on hardboiled eggs using handphone.

Very disapointed in Lenovo's service on my T430 machine type 2342CTO with Windows Pro 7 64 bit

I have been a ThinkPad user since the first model 700. I have always liked them and when I have had to use other laptops I found them inferior. However one thing my team has been telling me in the past year or two is that they do not want to purchase anymore Lenovo ThinkPad's. They have told me that the service and support has been greatly degraded. I was hesitant to agree with them until my present experience. We purchase all of our ThinkPad's with a 4 year on-site warranty. We have people who are in the field and when their computer goes down we need to get it back up and running ASAP.
Three weeks ago my hard drive started to give me some problems and one day after shutting down the computer a message came up that it needed to run Checkdisk which it did. I was able to keep it going and I did have a backup. I contacted the 800 number to talk with a service person and they ordered up service for the replacement of the hard drive and also to replace the fan and sent me the system disks for the T430. Two days later the insight service person showed up with the parts. The disks showed up as well via UPS. The service person replaced the fan and the HDD. There were 4 DVD's for the system disks. He started the rebuild and asked if I could finish it and I said I could with no problem. He left. I continued the process. After the 3rd DVD it asked to put in the 4th and when I did a message said that this was the wrong DVD. I tried all the other 3 with the same response. I tried building it from scratch again and the same problem. I called support again and the guy I spoke with thought that I must have a bad DVD and he would send out another set. That set of 4 DVD’s arrived the next day which I was very thankful for. He told me that they could only guaranty 2 days. I thought OK we should be up and running shortly. The same problem occurred again. Bear in mind that both sets of these DVD's were all labeled for the ThinkPad T430 machine type 2342 which was my laptop and for Windows Pro 7, 64 bit. I called Lenovo and this time the tech I spoke with said that there was another set of Disks for my machine that should have been sent. Of course I was frustrated but there was not a lot I could do about that and I asked if they could make sure that they were overnighted to me so that I would be sure to get them on the next day which was Thursday. He told me that he could not do that, that they could only guaranty 2 day. I called the next morning to get the tracking number which they gave me and it was supposed to be delivered on Friday which I was very thankful for. That was Good Friday. However UPS had some severe weather at their hub in Kentucky and everything was delayed and the disks did not show up until Monday. I had now been down a whole week from my first call the Monday before.
The new set of disks was 3 DVD’s labeled for the T430, Machine type 2342 and Windows Pro 7, 64 bit. I started the build process. It continued to work but I made a mistake in the order of disks so I thought that these disks have a problem too. I called Lenovo and they said that I should just send the system in for depot repair. I said that will take at least until probably Thursday. The guy I was speaking to said that I should have it back by Wednesday. I asked if there was any way that I could send it to them directly that day. He said no I could not, I had to wait for a box. I asked if there was anyway to expedite the process and he spoke to his manager and his manager said that the level of service that was on the machine would not allow for any faster service. The also told me that my service contract would allow me to take it to an authorized Lenovo service center around me. I said to him that they probably have a queue as well and that I will have to wait for that. As an aside note we did try service like this with one of our other ThinkPad’s that had a problem and the place messed up the system and we ended up at the end of the day having to send it to their depot for repair. I hung up and though let me try these disks one more time. I did and I saw my mistake and the system loaded up the DVD’s properly. I was getting excited that I could be up and running shortly. However my excitement was short lived. Once it started to reboot and expand the installation the drive failed and said that it had to run Checkdisk. It did and once again there were all kinds of orphaned files etc. I had to reboot and run it from the DVD’s again and I went through the whole process once again. The system went into a complete failure and would not do anything. I called back support with my case # and gave them this information. The box came the next day and I packed it up and sent it off. I then started tracking it and it arrived on Wednesday as expected. Then I wanted to go to the site and track the progress of the repair. The document you have to fill out and send back with the system gives information on where to go on the web to track the process. My shows that it arrived on Wednesday 4/8 as expected. The first message shows “Machine being repaired” at 08:52. Then I checked later in the early evening hoping to see shipped back to customer. However what I did see was the following message “Hold for Parts – Service call is on hold until parts arrive”. Then I kept tracking it and saw another entry on 4/10 at 02:01:54 which was the same “Hold for Parts – Service call is on hold until parts arrive”. That was of course Friday. I called the service and they told me that they were waiting on parts which they could not tell me what parts and that there was nothing that they could do. I then asked if there was anyway to expadite this and the girl I spoke to said that she would seek to accelerate this to another level and that I would get a call from Lenovo in the next 2 to 3 business days! I said to her that you really mean that that is accelerating it and she said yes. Yesterday I received a call from an automated attendant, not a real person who told me that they were waiting on parts for my computer and that it could be “5 to 7 business days before they receive the part”. I could not believe this. I called again today 4/15 and asked if anyone could tell me the status because the website told me very little. I told the girl that I was speaking to that I had received this automated attendant telling me that a part would take 5 to 7 business days more. I asked her if Lenovo kept parts and she said yes but that this part was not in stock. I asked her what the part was and she was able to find that it was the main system board that had to be replaced. I said you have already had the unit for 1 week now at depot repair and never mind the fact that I have been without my computer for 2.5 weeks. She told me that there was nothing she could do and that I had to wait on the part. That is where this case sits at present.
I am very very unimpressed with Lenovo’s service. And furthermore there is no one to talk to about it at Lenovo who gives a care. I really did not know where to air my grievances with how this case is being handled. I thought maybe the forum would be a place. At least others will learn of my dilemma and maybe others have experienced the same thing.
I still like my ThinkPad but the service of Lenovo has become very poor at best. The guy that is my technical manager has had a poor experience of late ordering up some other Lenovo products and he does not want to purchase anymore and these were for new product. They sent the laptop with the wrong software loaded and then said no problem we will send you a new set of disks to load. He refused and said you have to fix this because it was Lenovo’s mistake. It takes time to load software and time is money. I believe we will be leaving the Lenovo field if things continue. I hope and trust that others will not experience the same treatment as I/we have. I wonder if Lenovo will even respond to this post.

I had a real problem with wireless performance on multiple ThinkPads with Win7 until I realized there is a new (or maybe changed implementation) power setting in Win7 which was affecting it.
If you go into Control Panel -> Power Options and click "Change plan settings" for your current power plan.
On the next screen click on "Change advanced power settings"
On the next screen expand "Wireless Adapter Settings" and then "Power Saving Mode"
Make sure it is set to Maximum Performance.
Not sure if this will help your particular problem but hope it does.

ORADC problem on Windows 2000 with Service pack 1 and service pack 2

Hi,
I have a VB application running on NT4.0 workstations. It uses
ORADC control to talk to ORACLE 7.3 When I load it on Windows
2000 with service pack 1 or service pack 2, I encounter some
problems.
The ORADC control is used in most of the VB forms and the
Refresh method of the ORADC conrol is used to refresh the APEX
TRUE DBGRID PRO control. When this action is executed, I receive
a run time error
"Method Refresh of object '_DORADC' failed Err#: -2147417848
It works fine when no service pack is applied on Win2K.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks

Ipod Works with Windows, not with Itunes

Hi there. Three members of our family now have ipods. We were using them with 2 computers, with all three on each. It was only about two weeks ago that they stopped working with one of the computers. And not all at the same time, either. The 2nd and 3rd ipods connected to the desktop stopped working at the same time. The first to ever be connected remained working, but then stopped. These working/not working changes occurred around the removing (2nd and 3rd stopped) and then replacing (1st stopped) of our external hard drive. The drive letter for our ipods now reads 'C:', but our local disk has always been 'F:'.
I am using Windows XP SP2, the firmware is 1.0 for all of them. I used to have the latest Itunes and latest updater, but I recently reinstalled the CD that originally came with package, and now I have older ones. I tried everything on the support site's page "Windows sees my Ipod, Itunes doesn't."
I can't restore my ipod because the updator/ipod for windows doesn't detect it.
Thanks for any help.

I figured it out! I thought it had something to do with the ipod being remapped C:. So all I had to do was to change the drive to I: for Ipod, and put my Maxtor back to C.
:. problem solved.

Listening to Ipod Shuffle with Windows or other media player

Is there any way to listen to an Ipod Shuffle through any computer without the use of the Itunes software, like through Windows Media Player, Real player or Quicktime, simply by attaching the shuffle to the dock and usb port as a "removable hardware device?" I would also like to know why some downloaded songs stop in the middle of them and it quickly skips onto the next track/song? What is up with that? It's quite annoying.

Not with the iPod Shuffle dock, no.
iPods were designed to work w/ iTunes as an integrated hardware/software system. Maybe other, bigger, pods will do what you want, but the shuffle dock can only sync w/ the comp (exchange data) and charge the pod, it does not provide an audio connection to the comp via USB.
That said, if you use the appropriate cable w/ a 1/8" plug to connect a Shuffle to a comp, powered speakers, or stereo system, the pod will function as a music player just fine, but it will not charge while connected in that way.
When a Shuffle is in its dock and connected to a comp, if you 'play' its displayed contents in iTunes, the comp is actually playing the music files that reside on its hard drive, not the music files on the pod.
Regarding your 'skipping' song downloads, I suspect that the files were not fully downloaded. Is it always the same songs that don't finish and skip to the next song? Where were they downloaded from?
