ITunes tells me it is in compatibility mode, but it is not!

I have had this annoying problem for some time now, but have put up with it until now. The issue I have is that every time I start iTunes on my Vista PC, it tells me that it is running in compatibility mode, however when i locate itunes.exe, right click on it and then go to the compatibility tab none of the boxes are ticked at all. I just don't get it, but it's driving me nuts because since it started doing this the 3D graphics on the album art slider thing are all jerky and it is generally not very responsive. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!
Steve

I thought I'd take one more kick at the can here by way of asking a couple of questions that may (or may not) help us get a better handle on your problem.
1) Are you receiving the message shown in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base or something else? If something else, would you post the exact message.
2) What version of iTunes are you running (iTunes Help menu > About iTunes) and is it possible that the problem began after upgrading to this version?
3) Does using the Vista Program Compatibility Wizard provide you with any helpful information?

ITunes 10.1 only works in Compatibility Mode

I downloaded 10.1 and installed it but when I tried to bring it up the program did not open, A message came up that said it was in XP compatibility mode but still did not work. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same results.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already done the above and things still aren't working, try opening iTunes in safe mode by holding down CTRL+SHIFT as you launch iTunes, then going into Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. If you close iTunes and reopen you may find that it now behaves normally.

I signed up for iCloud and downloaded everything for it. According to my iTunes account, everything should be swell, but when I try to sign into the Cloud, it tells me my Apple ID is valid but it's not an iCloud account. What do I do??

Hi DesCoop,
You must initiallly activate iCloud from an IOS device or a Mac. You cannot inititally activated from a PC.
Sorry.

Thank you in advance

You cannot redownload audiobooks.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.. Copy them from your backup copy of your comptuer.

I can't re-download Audiobooks I purchased. I have tried the purchased queue and re-purchasing but iTunes tells me I will be charged again, lastly it is not in my available downloads. How do I download my old audiobooks?

"I can't re-download Audiobooks I purchased."
That is true.
" I have tried the purchased queue and re-purchasing but iTunes tells me I will be charged again, "
True also.
" lastly it is not in my available downloads."
True again.
" How do I download my old audiobooks?"
You don't.
You get one download. It is your responsibility to back up your contents.

I want to close the bokkmarks side bar, I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but this does not help.

This morning I opened firefox as usual and found that a sidebar for bookmarks on the left side of this page. I did not request this to open and I want it removed from my computer. I do not like the way it uses up the space on the page. I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but his did not clear it. If I can not remove this sidebar I will want to close firefox.

There should be a little 'x' Close button in the top right corner of the sidebar.
Alternatively, Ctrl + B will close it too.

Activation server is not available on iphone 3GS i put it in DFU mode but still can not activate i went to apple store but they did not help?

activation server is not available on iphone 3GS i put it in DFU mode but still can not activate i went to apple store but they did not help?

There are four possible causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424?viewlocale=en_US
If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.

I can't get into the itunes store. Computer says change compatibility mode. I don't have compatibility mode tab.

I can't get into the itunes store. Computer is saying to change compatibility mode. I followed the directions to do this, but I do not have a compatibility mode tab. Any ideas on what to do. Does this have anything to do with Google Chrome and Explore, maybe?

Were you connecting regulary up until a week ago? I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of those messages tonight. May the iTune site is very busy? (a lot of iTunes cards given out today)
I closed iTunes and then re-opened and it helped. My connections have been intermittent at best tonight.

If i restore it will my notes still be there, i dont want to restore original settings or something like that .
please help me what do i do?

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....
