Itunes on windows 7 causes computer display problem

i have had my laptop for 6 months and it has widows 7, i have used the latest version of itunes(10.1.2) with no problems. Then my kaspersky anti virus expired so i downloaded norton security suite from our internet provider because it was free. The next day when i started up itunes, it caused the screen to go black for a second and when the display came back it was discolored and pixelated, and not just for itunes, it did it for everything i did on the computer. When i quit itunes the display goes back to normal. ive tried itunes after getting rid of norton and that didnt work, ive also re-installed itunes and it didnt work
can anyone help me?

That sounds like a display setting has been engaged in your iTunes compatibility tab.
Try the following document, with the following modification: make sure that *no boxes whatsoever* are checked in the compatibility tab (not just the compatibility mode checkbox):
[iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1489]
Does that clear up the display trouble?

  • Itunes in windows 7 causing computer to shut down after sync

    I work at an academic library that has iPads for check out. Since switching to Windows 7, after the last iPad syncs the computer we use will sporadically shut down. It's completely unpredictable and doesn't always occur. It occurs often enough to be a problem, however. I have manually updated the card drivers and turned off automatic shut down in the windows preferences, but the problem persists. It doesn't seem to be a motherboard overheating issue as nothing else is running at the time at the computer is not exhibiting any other indications of overheating. iTunes is fully updated. The machine we're using should have no trouble handling the requirements of the sync without it being taxed. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I've tried a bunch of different things. Thought I had it solved. Thought perhaps there were too many peripherals drawing power from USB connections, and then tried eliminating idle time scans by Norton. But I tried ripping something today and after the ninth song, it shut off. Have ordered a new AC Adapter/brick. We'll see what happens with that. I will add that I've also found it shuts off occasion when just idling not using iTunes, and I just installed a strategy game to see how that ran and what do you know it shut off in the middle of it. Some kind of power/hardware issue it would seem.

  • How do I sync my iPod to the iTunes on Window 8.1 computer?

    How do I sync my iPod to the iTunes on my Windows 8.1 computer?  The SYNC button appears to be missing on iTunes.

    THERE is nothing on the old iTunes version i want to keep or restore. I want to RE-DIRECT it to the new. How do i do that/?

  • Window update causing printer driver problems

    Hi, I have a laptop running XP and wireless router (WAG54G) and a HP6380 All in one. About 2 nights ago a Windows update installed by itself and rebooted the laptop (even though I have Automatic Updates turned off as they seem to screw with anything these updates occur anyway grr)..
    I went to try and print and found that the 6380 was missing from the list of available printers.. The problem is not with the wireless network (as that is connected and working). I am not sure what this windows update did.. but when I tried to reinstall the drivers for this printer from the disc, it recognised that they were already installed.. So I uninstalled them instead (and it picked up that only parts of the driver remained and it removed those parts).
    So then I tried to do a fresh driver install.. which took a long time as it got stuck at the end...Eventually it came up with an error and so I tried to submit to HP - and was given a desktop icon to click on.. (HP Installation Icon - XP). I have tried it but it tells me to 1)reinstall driver (done that twice - well attempted anyway... or 2) troubleshoot Wireless printing (a non-issue at this stage given that I have no printer driver and I can use the wireless network for other things just fine)
    Does anyone have any suggestions please> In the past when Windows updates have caused issues I have used System Restore to roll back but that is only a temporary solution - as Windows insists on updates that I dont want!
    Many thanks!
    This question was solved.

    If you have the original HP software CD, look in the ccc/utils folder for an L3_unintsall (or similar).  Run it for a very thorough uninstall.
    Reboot.
    Now, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.  DO NOT reinstall from the CD (a good rule in general is to not use software CDs, but go to the manufacturer's web site for the latest and greatest).

  • RoboHelp 10 For WORD IE10 & IE11 Windows 7 Word 2010 Display Problems

    I have applied fixes from Adobe for Blank Topic Panes in IE10 and a blank TOC in IE11. The instructions indicate the fixes should be made in folder RoboHTML which I have done with no solution to the problems. I am wondering if I should apply the Adobe fixes to folder RoboHELP since I am using RoboHelp 10 for Word in a Windows 7 environment. The reason for the question is that the data structure appears to be the same under both folders and the RoboHELP folder does not seem to be present in a RoboHelp 8 installation of HTML without Word.

    I have removed your email address and other details as it is never a good idea to post them on any forum. They were part of your email signature.
    I understand the question but only Rh's developers can answer that. My guess would be that only Rh HTML was patched but maybe they can now fix it for Rh for Word. Support are the people to ask them that.

  • ITunes for Mac, help may not display subjects.

    Most of the time help gives a message, The requested subject cannot be displayed.  You must be connected to the internet.  Everything else gets the internet okay.
    Sometimes restarting iTunes makes it work, often not.
    Apple care has no answer for this other than "trash iTunes and install a new copy".  Changes nothing.
    Mac restart may get it working, or not.
    I found that typing a word in the help search box and hitting enter will, most of the time but not always, cause help to display a bar titled Connect to the internet.  Click that and subjects will display as they should.  So far that has worked every time.
    Another thing, when bringing up help from the menu bar, the help window shows a spinner titled "loading help content", or something like that.  When it does that, subjects will display.  When it doesn't work that "loading" and spinner doesn't show up.
    I have two Macs both of which behave the same.  iTunes for Windows has not had this problem for me.
    Anyone know of a better fix or work around?

    Chris CA,
    You say:
    Your problem is an OS issue (Help) not an iTunes issue.
    Post over here ->https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    This solved my question 
    This helped me
    However:  All other app help work fine, only having problems with iTunes help.
    I spent some time testing them.

  • Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

    Hello all.  I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
    It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer.  So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer.  I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
    I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have.  None of the video podcasts synced.
    Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
    Thank you in advance!

    Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
    Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine.  Just the video podcasts are not.
    Thanks.

  • Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows

    Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows.
    My computer crashed. All my songs on CDs were titled by numbers "01", "02" etc. So I have many songs on various CDs titled "01" for example.
    When I've tried to import various CDs, it seems like the different songs having the same names are confusing itunes, and my song tracks are getting mixed and muddled.
    What can I do? Thanks for any help.

  • Does iTunes support Windows 8.1 yet?

    Does iTunes support Windows 8.1? The last time I downloaded 8.1 I had problems working with iTunes and when I called support was told it did not support 8.1 yet.

    Yes. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates if you have problems with installing it..

  • IPod Classic not recognized by iTunes, claims to be wiped of all content, and causes computer problems when connected

    I have an 80 GB iPod Classic that has suddenly developed severe problems. I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit.
    It was working fine until last night, when I connected it to iTunes to add 6 songs. (Four of these were bought on Amazon.com and 2 ripped from CD's). It accepted the songs and played them fine when connected. When I clicked the icon in iTunes to eject the iPod, it came up with the "OK to Disconnect" and progress bar as usual. However, this time the progress bar didn't start to fill in. It just sat there.
    After several minutes the progress bar finally filled in and returned to the menu... but instead of displaying the cover flow on the right side as usual, it showed a gray box with "No Music."
    When I tried to re-connect it to my computer, iTunes would not recognize it. My computer also wouldn't recognize it at first... after several minutes, it came up as a generic removable device. Attempting to right-click on it or eject it from Windows was unsuccessful.
    The iPod itself displayed "Connected" and alternated the plug image with the spinning arrows. It never said "Synchronizing" as it usually does.
    Furthermore, my computer's performance degraded severely while the iPod was plugged in. iTunes itself froze, and even my other applications (such as my web browser) would not work correctly. This all cleared up as soon as I unplugged the iPod. If I tried to initialize iTunes while the iPod was plugged in, it would not open. It opened immediately when I unplugged the iPod.
    Finally, despite claiming to have no music or other contents (it had contained only my iTunes music library, which is about 26.5 GB), in Settings the iPod claimed to have only 5.3 GB of free space.
    Resetting the iPod with Select/Menu made no change. I was able to put it in diagnostic mode and check the hard drive, which gave these results:
    Retracts: 381
    Reallocs: 0
    Pending Sectors: 10
    PowerOn Hours: 417
    Smart/Stops: 381
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 15c
    Temp: Max 48c
    When I put the iPod up to my ear I hear a steady, faint high-pitched sound and an occasional very faint crackling noise. When it shuts down the sound continues for a few seconds, then ends with a kind of squeaking sound.
    The iPod is more than 5 years old, so I'm prepared for the probability that it's fried. But I'd like to try everything before I go ahead and spring for a new one.

    The iPod's hard drive probably has data corruption.  That does not necessarily mean there is a hardware problem.  Hard drives, including the ones in computers, can develop data corruption.
    Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    If it goes into Disk Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect the iPod.  To eliminate other potential issues, you should disconnect other USB devices (you can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected), and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.
    iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore, which you should do.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the problem was only data corruption, and there is no hardware problems, the iPod should have a "fresh start."  You can sync it from your iTunes library.
    If the iPod does not go into Disk Mode, or if doing a Restore fails, the iPod's hard drive may be faulty.

    I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 on my computer with windows vista on it. Now every time I try to run a video it shuts off iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice. Is there a fix? Is it possible I am missing part of the program?

  • HT203175 My ITunes software on my Dell computer is not displaying the menu items or the windows content of my music.  The menus are active, but you cannot see the choices.  I suspect a missing font set.  Any suggestions before I trash the whole environmen

    Loading the last two versions of the ITunes software to my Dell computer has produced unacceptable results.  None of the pull down menus are showing the menu choices and none of the content on my IPod Touch shows up in the appropriate window.  As a result, I have an interface with no functionality.  It does still sync my Touch but that is all.  I assume a missing font set.  Any suggestions on how to correct these issues.
    I also now get a message that ITunes cannot play back anything on my computer and a request to reinstall the software - which I have done multiple times both the original and the upgrade.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.
