ITunes on Windows 8 - play problem

I recently put iTunes to my wife's new Window 8 laptop. All worked fine until I tried to make iTunes the default media player. Now when we want to play content a new window opens asking if we want to Play or Delete the content. How do we stop it? Is this Microsoft fighting back?

ITunes 8 Windows XP problems

iTunes is useless now! Ever since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes I've encountered nothing but problems. I'm using Windows XP by the way...anyway, at best I can play about 3 songs before the music stops and I get an error message telling me that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. At worst, all I have to do is type a few letters into the search box and that is enough for iTunes to shut down. So essentially, iTunes is useless now and all the money I spent downloading songs from the store is going to waste. This is incredibly frustrating.

Ugh i understand. I'm having sort of the same problem as well, but whenever i try and plug in my iPod Classic, a box pops up and says that the "iPod exeModule has encountered a problem". I can open iTunes 8 and play my music, but i can't connect my iPod and sync it. Any help please??

Itunes on Windows plays one song from library and stops

I am a new ipod owner and new to itunes. Loaded many CD's, videos and audiobooks without difficulty into itunes 6.0.4.2. Library of songs is extensive but trying to play songs from library results in itunes playing ONLY one selected song. I must re-select another song in order to play another. It will not continue to play the songs in the library. I have re-installed itunes and that did not correct the problem. Also tried selecting multiple songs and still itunes only plays the 1st song of the list. Obviously I've done something wrong or have not done something that is required. I've check all I know and have also not found this problem in the discussion groups. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This'll happen when all of the checkboxes are unchecked. iTunes will only play unchecked songs if they are directly clicked.
To check all songs, ctrl+check one.

Newest Version of iTunes and Windows Logo problem

I just tried to download the newest version of iTunes, but I get a warning about how it does not meet Windows Logo requirements and how it could change my entire computer system. Can this happen?! My iTunes is an older version and it has been working fine, up until now. When I try to open iTunes now I get this message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can't even charge my iPod.

The ModName is objc.dll
The ModVer is 1.435.14.16
Perfect. The iTunes launch error looks to be being caused by trouble with an Application Support dll (iTunes needs a properly working Apple Application Support in order to work properly).
We maaaaay be able to get past this without having to reinstall iTunes ... but it's going to depend on what version of Apple Application Support you have installed. (There was a bug in early versions of AAS which would prevent the trick I have in mind from working.)
Can you check something for me?
Open your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select the Apple Application Support entry. Click on the "Click here for support information" link.
In the little box that shows up, is your Apple Application Support version number *1.2.0 or higher?*
(The trick I have in mind doesn't work reliably for versions 1.0.1 or 1.1.0, unfortunately.)

ITunes and Windows Vista problem

I have Windows Vista and ran iTunes successfully for 8mos. Now I'm getting a message box that says "iTunes has stopped working. Close box and Windows will send a solution." The solution, upgrading Windows, doesn't work. Is Vista the problem?

Scan and Fix windows System files:
Can you go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair or update files.
Start iTunes again

Latest version of iTunes for Windows causes problems on office network

I have recently updated my version of iTunes on my office computer to the latest available (7.3.1.3). Since doing this, I have been unable to connect my iPod video (5th gen) to itunes properly.
When I try and connect my ipod, itunes recognises it but it comes up as "James' iPod" - one of my colleagues. When I use itunes to look at the music on my ipod, it lists all James' tunes. However, upon disconnecting and checking the ipod, it definitely still has my own tunes on there. To makes matters even stranger, when the ipod is connected, itunes seems to think the ipod has 3000GB total memory, with about 1700GB used by "other" (i.e. the bar is orange for 1700GB).
If I try and play any of the songs that show up on the ipod it doesn't let me, i get the exclamation mark in the left hand column. I have tried rebooting, and I have tried connecting ipod first then opening itunes and vice versa. I have tried connecting when James' computer is off and when it is on. Another colleague of mine has had exactly the same problem, when connecting his ipod on his computer it comes up as James' iPod. I think that he too has recently updated to the latest version of itunes.
Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

With the exception of your iPod, keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices including printers, scanners, external hard drives, thumb drives, hair curlers, flash memory readers, etc. before changing the drive letter. Also, be sure to plug the iPod into a rear USB port on the computer and if you are on a network, disconnect from it.

Syncing to iTunes in windows 7 problems...can't seem to connect

When I try to sync my 4s it connects and disconnects every couple of seconds. However when I plug in to an outlet to charge I have no problem. Any idea what is happening?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Preveious versions of iTunes for Windows?

I was running previous versions of iTunes for Windows without problems. With the latest versions, I have tried everything without success (uninstalling Quicktime, resinstalling Quicktime etc)
Are the install files for prior versions of iTunes Windows available anywhere? All I need is music on my laptop. Great if I can install a prior version. Thanks! /Kenny

You'll get various earlier versions of iTunes here: Old iTunes for Windows

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...
