Itunes on my windows 7 laptop an external hardrive

i have been using itunes on my windows 7 laptop with my library on an external hardrive on my XP desktop. I recently replaced the desktop with a new Windows 7 desktop and plugged in the same external harddrive but itunes only recognizes some of the songs. The laptop can see them all when looking outside of Itunes, but not sure why itunes does not recognize. (I did change my preferences to the name of the new computer/externaldrive/directory name.

You should be able to. ITunes 11 is compatible with Windows 7.

HT201302 I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop, So i just want to restore the photos

I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop. Recently i back-uped my iphone and started using my iphone as a new one. But all the photos were in the back-up. So i just want to restore the photos. Since my laptop is windows, i cant get them by iphotos.
I was thinking that if i can sync just the photos to my iphone from by back-up, i can get the photos from iphone by transfering the files to my laptop.But i couldnt figure out how to sync just the "photos" of the whole back-up.
Do you have a better idea for getting the pics from the back-up? If not, can you help me by the option i suggested?

Hello SenaAkcicek,
If you want to restore data from a backup to your iPhone, you will need to restore the full backup, as you cannot select what items to be restored to an iPhone.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Take care,

My computer had a virus and needed to be wiped clean. all my itunes docs are stored on an external hard-drive so i downloaded a new itunes but it over-wrote my old one - how can i restore this without wiping my iphone? please help :(

Hi there,
My windows xp computer got a virus and needed to be wiped.
As i store all of my itunes and iphone stuff on an external hardrive i thought this would not cause a problem.
Got a bit confused when i tried to open itunes again from the back-up hardrive as it would not open.
Wrongly assumed that the best option would be to re-download itunes and move my old itunes info across - silly silly thing to do :/
The new download just over-wrote the old one and after trying a few of the suggestions on here to get my old library back - i still cant work out if its possible as it has been over-written.
I don't want to plug my iphone4 into my computer as i have heard that this can wipe your phone completely, so before i do anything, does anyone know what is the best thing to do from here? or how i could posibly recover my old library, playlists, apps, podcasts e.t.c
please please help

go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.
