ITunes under Virtualbox

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get iTunes to work under virtualbox? I'm running 3.2 and have tried it on previous versions of virtualbox, on multiple systems.
I don't understand why I can run every other non-graphics-insane windows application under virtualbox, except for itunes.
It always crashes with an application error with no useful diagnostic clues.

I'm not aware of any workaround, I'm afraid. The highest version of iTunes that I know of that still runs on VirtualBox is 9.0.2.25.

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8
I have recently upgraded to Win 8. When installing iTunes the following error shows:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32",version"8.0.50727.4053.publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b 9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information HRESULT:0x80073715.
I am running the ITunes x64 install. I have installed the V++ redistributable with no change in result.
I have subsequently downloaded and manually installed via the Apple Software update program iTunes. However this does not allow my iPad to be connected as it is not the x64 version.

After spending an entire day on this issue, I figured out something that worked. After installing Windows 8 (64-bit) then Visual Studio 2012 (or 2013) then the latest 64-bit iTunes app, I got the 0x80073715 error.
What finally worked for me was:
1) Get all the Windows updates and hotfixes - especially the ones for Visual Studio.
2) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14431 and download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update"
3) Only install vcredist_x64.exe.
After running these steps, I was able to completely install iTunes on my Windows 8 64-bit instance.
Hope this helps.

Why can I not see shared applications on iTunes on a Mac but can on Itunes under Windows

Hello
1. I have a Mac Laptop, a Windows 7 laptop and an IPAD Air. I have an application on the IPad that shares files.
2. On both the Windows and Mac machines, I have the latest versions of ITunes installed.
3. With Image and IPhoto, I can browse the Documents directory of the shared application on the IPAD.
4. On the Windows Machine, on ITunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can see the shared application and the shared Documents directory.
5. On my Mac Machine, on Itunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can NOT see the same shared application on the IPAD that I see on the Windows machine.
6. In the upper right corner of Itunes on the MAC it does show "1 App" but I see no way to click on the app under ITunes and to browse the shared directory on the IPad
Any thoughts on what I have to do to make the Shared App show up on the Mac that shows up on the Windows machine in ITunes?

Did you put your audiobooks on your computer?
They will only be where you put them. You need to copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

HT204074 I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. How can I sync both computers to a common song library? ITunes Match?

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs. How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers? Will ITunes Match do that?

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

I purchased a movie, i selected it to sync, i watched itunes copy to my ipod, it shows up in itunes under "on this ipod", but does not appear on ipod under videos app.

to recap:
i purhased a movie (SD version of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone) through the itunes store.
in itunes, under my ipod, i checked next to movie to indicate that i wanted it to sync
in itunes, when i checked the movie, the amount of space for video grew, as expected
i sync'ed my ipod,
i watched the progress bar as itunes told me it was copying the movie
no errors were reported
in itunes, under the "On this iPod" the movie says it's there
in itunes
on my ipod, under video, i do not see the movie
when i search my ipod for "harry" nothing come up
kinda feeling like i just threw $9.99 in the trash.

What happens when you try to redownload it directly to your iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

"No iPod Connected" in iTunes under Edit - Preferences

I bought this 20gb clickwheel iPod from a friend as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend... I'm trying to install it on my PC first so I can put some songs on it so it is ready to go when I give it to him.
I do not have the original software that came with it when it was new.
I first plugged it in to my PC, and it just said it was charging. It then told me to go to www.apple.com/ipod/downloads to get the software updated.
Since I didnt have the software cd, i thought i'd need that before i got the updater - how can it update software if I never had it to begin with? But no - I called Apple and the guy said all I'd need is the latest iTunes and the software updater. So i updated iTunes, downloaded the updater...
Then, the ipod said "Do Not Disconnect" for about 30 minutes after the updater said "(Up To Date)" beside Version 3.1. In addition to that, the little picture of the ipod on the left hand side of that update screen is a pic of the U2 iPod, but I don't actually have the U2 iPod. Also, the serial number shown is the same as the one hard-coded in my iPod, so I have no idea what is up with that.
Then, said i clicked "Reformat". Then I Unplugged it and plugged it into the wall. I chose "english" and waited a minute... it didn't seem to want to do anything else, so i plugged it back into my computer. Same exact thing, with the picture of the U2 iPod in the window. Except this time, when I open My Computer, it says "IPOD" under the e: drive, whereas before it just said "removable disk". Also, in iTunes, under Edit -> Preferences and the iPod tab, it says "no ipod connected". I have no idea what to do next.

I just want to clarify as well, that there is no mention of an iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes under "Source". Also there is no icon on the bottom right side of iTunes so that I can disconnect safely. It is pretty much leaving me no options for disconnecting. I just tried reformatting again, to no avail.

How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
Can any one help?

New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
Regards.

I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.

HT1925 I cannot install the latest version of Itunes under Windows XP because itunes.msi cannot be found in order to remove the older version (11.0.1.12) of itunes

I cannot install the latest version of Itunes under Windows XP because itunes.msi cannot be found in order to remove the older version (11.0.1.12) of itunes. Is there any other way I can accomplish an upgrade without using the Itunes.msi file?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My album artwork is showing up in my itunes library but not in itunes under ipod:music. help

When I'm in itunes my album artwork shows up in my library. But if i'm in itunes under my ipod:music it will not let me sort by Album, only Album by Artist, and absoluetly no artwork is there.help!

Even if you somehow lost the iTunes app and your OS, unless you reformatted the hard drive to restore, your song files (the iTunes data) may still be there. Look in your user home folder Music folder, for a folder called iTunes, and then iTunes Media. If you see that folder, your song files may be in there. If the hard drive was reformatted, obviously, nothing from before will be there.
For your question, iTunes syncing is generally one way, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod, by design. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once your iPod's song files are on the computer's drive, you can add them to your current empty iTunes library.

No. File transfer by bluetooth is not supported.

In itunes under genre the word "acostic" should be acoustic... correct? Can I correct this?

All it means is that you ned to plug it into a computer and restore the iPhone using iTunes. This doesn't necessarily mean it was jailbroken.

I was synching my iphone 4 and unplugged it. It's now stuck on a screen that has the chord and the music note that says itunes under it. I have tried to reboot and have even cancelled my last synching process. My phone is froze

I was synching my iphone 4 and unplugged it. It's now stuck on a screen that has the chord and the music note that says itunes under it. I have tried to reboot and have even cancelled my last synching process. My phone is froze. I need help.

You probably have to go through a restore of the phone.
Plug the phone in and launch iTunes, then select your phone from the left side of the menu.
There will be an option to restore the phone and click that button.
That will erase and restore the phone. After it's done, it will ask you to restore from a recent backup, and you can choose to go ahead and restore.
You should be back up and running from there, but may have to do some minor tweeks to get yourself back up exactly as you left off. Some things like your visual voicemail password and email passwords may have to be entered again, but you'll be in good shape.
