Itunes.. is it my computer or itunes??

Well i recently got a new ipod nano, and when i plugged it into my computer,(only had version 6 installed) it would not run because the ipod was a newer version. I downloaded the newest version to my computer after the older version was deleted. Now Itunes will not work at all.
Is it itunes??? or is it my computer???
Compaq Windows XP

and when i try and open Quick time it states "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed"
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

I am interested in purchasing a new PC and wanted to transfer all of the music on my Itunes onto my new computer's Itunes the easiest was possible. Any suggestions?

I am interested in purchasing a new PC and wanted to transfer all of the music on my Itunes onto my new computer's Itunes the easiest was possible. Any suggestions?

These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

For some reason, When I add my 'My Music' folder to Itunes on my new computer, as Itunes is adding music, It's creating hundreds of playlists from each of my artist/albums...I end up with a ton of playlists (200 gigs worth) How do i stop this?

Essentially, Itunes creates a playlist for each album in my 'my music' folder, resulting in thousands of playlists. Why is this happening all of the sudden? How do I stop this?
Thanks,
Brendan

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer. This will be the entire iTunes library.

TS4062 I purchased a new desktop, downloaded iTunes, & authorized the new computer in iTunes, but, I can't sync with the new computer because I get a message that says "sync will resume when Owner HP is on-line. That was the old computer.

I purchased a new desktop computer, downloaded iTunes, authorized the computer thru iTunes, but, unable to sync with iPad3. I get a message stating "sync will resume when OWNER HP in on-line. That was the old computer, which no longer has iTunes on it. What can I do?

You still have to make the new computer and the iTunes library the new syncing library. Did you transfer all of your content into iTunes yet or copy the iTunes library from the old PC to the new one?
If you no longer have the old computer and did not copy the iTunes library to the new one, read this user tip.

If you did tranfer everything over, you probably have to set up WiFi syncing again in iTunes in order for the iPad WiFi settings to see your new computer.

How do i transfer my itunes music from one computer to itunes on another

Tell me how to in easy steps with an ipod
Tell me how to in easy steps with a pen drive

Hi Chris
well, i copied everything from itunes onto my ipod. I made playlists on my itunes and had an option to sync playlists which was easily done.
When i take my ipod onto another computer, i dont know how to transfer the music. All my playlists appear from the administrators but i cant copy and paste them in the music library, and even the click transfer purchases does not work. ( all these songs in playlists are not purchased. My friend had a dvd of mp3 which i took from him - is that why it does not work ? )

How do I transfer a purchase to a new iTunes on a new computer

I purchased a sond on one PC through Itunes. Now I want that song on my macbook, but I don't have an Ipod. How do I see that song in the itunes on the new computer?
Itunes immediately synchronized the ballance in dollar amount ( surprize-surprize), but the song.....where do I start. FIrst of all, when I look it up in the itunes on a new computer - it offers to buy it again!!!!
But when I click on it, it says "purchased". So how do I get that song to the this computer? . Oh yeay. "Check for new downloads" menu says that all items are donwloaded, but that's not true!

Go to the iTunes Store. Click on "Purchased" near the upper right part of the iTunes Window. You can re-download all of your previous purchases there.

Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or itunes.

My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.

Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
Downgrading iTunes:
1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update.

HT1766 Recently i had to get a new computer due to my other one crashing. My question is, i was able to get itunes on the new computer, but it doesnt want to transfer my music library? How do i transfer the music from the phone to the computer?

Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??
Thanks

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

Move itunes library from desk computer to laptop?

Is it possible to move my itunes library from itunes on my desk computer to itunes on my laptop?
If so, how?

I am a Windows guy, and I think you responded in 'Apple'.
No, it was very much Windows.
If that is a file you created, I don't know how to pick it up.
I don't know what this means.
iTunes creates an iTunes folder in your /username/Music/ directory on your hard drive. This contains all iTunes info and media files.
Copy this /iTunes/ folder from one computer to the other.

How to sync w/ iTune on a new computer

I am synching my iphone w/ a PC (windows XP) and have a lot of podcasts, music, etc on it. I also have my iphone backup by this iTune
I have installed iTune on a different computer (windows vista) and now like to start synching w/ this new iTune without losing anything (backups, music, etc) I have on the other machine.
How would I do this? I kind of like to move everything from one machine to another.
Thanks,
-Jalil

You need to transfer your iTunes library from the computer running XP to the different computer running Vista, which is stored in the iTunes folder located in the My Music folder. Transfer the entire iTunes folder and place it in the same location on the computer running Vista.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only. After transferring your iTunes folder to the new or different computer, when first syncing iTunes content with this computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased first followed by being re-transferred to your iPhone since you are syncing iTunes content with a different computer - even though with the same iTunes library that was transferred from another computer.
You don't need to transfer your iPhone's backup from the computer running XP, you can create a new backup of your iPhone with iTunes on the new or different computer. With your iPhone connected, control-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list. There is an option to create a backup.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

HT204406 Why am I hearing ads on iTunes Radio? I subscribe to iTunes Match. Can Apple fix this?

I've been hearing ads when listening to iTunes Radio on my laptop (Windows 7, iTunes 12.0.1.26). I subscribe to iTunes Match. With one of the iTunes updates, the ads came back for some reason. Is there an option that I'm missing to turn off the ads? I had everything working before the update to iTunes 12.
Thanks,
Keith

How can I use a newer itunes library with an older version of itunes on a different computer?

Hi there. We are running iTunes 10 on our (1.5-year-old) iMacs with the entire music library there.
I also have an old iMac G4 (for those of you who remember what that is :-) sitting in the living room that we use for watching DVDs and listening to music. The G4 is running iTunes 9, as it obviously is stuck with OX Tiger. I've last updated the music library on that machine probably about a year ago at which stage it still worked (by copying the library across from the other computer).
Now it doesn't work anymore. If I copy iTunes library over, I get an error message saying 'this library was created with a newer version of iTunes'. So that's no good. So what can I do without having to re-purchase and re-import music and re-set up playlistst etc? Surely that must be possible, they cannot just forbid me to use my own music that I've even purchased through iTunes? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Felicity.

In the iTunes folder on the G5...
Delete the file iTunes library.itl.
Move the iTunes library.xml (or iTunes Music library.xml) to the desktop.
Start iTunes.
iTunes menu File > Library > Import playlist and select the iTunes library.xml you moved to the desktop.
You can then delete the file on the desktop.

Can I use two different iTunes accounts on one computer without using Family sharing

So my wife made the mistake of logging into her iTunes account on my computer to purchase some music and she also (without knowing what she was doing) turned on family sharing at some point.
This is irritating for multiple reasons:
Now I have hundreds of artists added to my iTunes match, all of who I care nothing about and don't want the clutter in my artist list, but I can't figure out how to permanently delete them off of my account. Also, now if I login to my account on iTunes I can't play any of my music for 90 days.
Is there ANY way for me to re-organize my music, delete her junk, and get myself back to where I can play my purchased music on my iTunes account? Any time I try to organize or delete her music it shows back up next time I open it.
I almost feel like I need to download all of my music off of the cloud, delete my iTunes account, and then open another one AFTER organizing my music while offline and then enable match again. Everything is so cluttered and frustrating. Looking for some advice.

1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.
