ITunes went asian on me.  Can't fix it.

I was burning some discs last night and my itunes suddenly froze up. I closed it and reopened it and everything was in chinese characters. Since I don't read chinese I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking it would fix it, but had no luck. It's still chinese. Please help me fix it.

Here is a previous post by forum regular polydorus about deleting the iTUnes preferences files:
You may need to make hidden files visible
My Documents>Tools>Folder Options>View

Quit iTunes
Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref and/or iTunesPrefs.xml
Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref and/or iTunesPrefs.xml
For Vista the files are in:

  • My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?

    My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?
    When I load up iTunes I can see all of words but no background, its impossible to use! Please help.

    Glad to hear you got things working again, Claire.
    I had an IT friend of mine come over and it turns out it was the firewall, it wouldn't let iTunes have access to certain things so he granted it permission and it was instantly fixed.
    Thank you kindly for reporting back about your resolution. Apologies for the nosy question, but which make of firewall are you using? (Although I've seen firewall permissions implicated in other iTunes problems, I hadn't seen one associated with a "transparent" iTunes before ... so I was thinking it might be worth checking on the possibility with other folks reporting a transparent iTunes where the DirectX and/or video drivers don't seem to be involved.)

  • After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes  music files.  How can I fix this problem?

    I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files.  How do I fix this problem. 

    Hey Joey BOD,
    It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

  • Purchased an album on the iTunes store (err=306) how can I fix this and download my album?

    I recently updated to 11.4 (not sure if relevant) and purchased an album on the iTunes store but the songs won't download and beside them in brackets says (err=306) how can I fix this and download my album?

    Although it's a slightly non-standard circumstance in which to be getting that error message number (usually people get it when they try to go to the Store), I think we should still try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    (Some of the things that can cause the more familiar 306 might also cause download difficulties, so I'm thinking the normal 306 measures are still worth a crack here.)

  • My iPhone 4s won't connect to my MacBook, but will show up in my iTunes when connected. How can I fix this?

    When I first got my iPhone 4s and was setting it up, it added all the photos that were on my MacBook. I want to take these photos off, but the only way to do that is to go through the iPhone on my laptop. But, when I connect my iPhone via USB my phone shows up in iTunes, but not on my computer. Not as a desktop icon or as an external drive. Please help me figure this out!! I really need to put these photos back on my computer and get them off my phone. Thank you to anyone that can help!!

    Rome,
    I would try everything that "Diesel" has suggested !!!
    I had the same problem after updating to iOS 5.1. I was never able to fix it. I did however find a work around and that was to delete the offending Wi-Fi configuration and then under "Other" manually add back my Wi-Fi connection. This solved the auto re-connect problem. I don't think this is a fix but a pretty darn good work-around.
    I talked to Apple about this problem while arranging for a replacement phone (for another problem) and the Technician seemed to be aware of this quirk and suggested that my fix was about the best I could expect.
    HOWEVER - when I received my replacement phone not only did the problem that I exchanged the phone for now function correctly but the "Auto-reconnect" of the Wi-Fi worked as expected and as it did prior to the iOS 5.1 update.
    Go-Figure !!!

  • I'm getting the error msg "apple application support was not found.  Apple application support is required to run itunes. error 2.  How can i fix this?

    Hi,  I was running itunes software just fine. I got some malware and unintalled everything that was from apple.  Now, I reinstalled itunes but can't run it because I get the msg "Apple application support was not found. Apple application support is required to run itunes. Error msg 2.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thank you.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I can't import my iTunes files into pages, how can i fix the privileges problem?

    when i try to import any mp3 file into a pages document, i get an access privileges error saying it is either corrupt, damaged or "can't be used" because I don't have access privileges. This has happened since I moved my iTunes library to an external drive.  Anyone have any solutions?  The privileges on both the library folder, and all its files are set to read and write for sharing and permissions.

    If you do not have done so, set the "Ignore Ownership" flag on the external drive. YOu can set this flag from the "File > Get Info" panel for the drive.
    How is your external drive formatted?
    Can other applications open these mp3 files? QuickTime? Do they play in the Finder preview?
    Do the filenames contain special charcters?

  • HT1535 I just started my new mini IPad, and when I clicked the network, my connect to iTunes went off, now I can't move on or get that connect to iTunes back on the screen so that I keep going

    IT is so frustrating,because I cannot go further without being connected to iTunes..it's a brand new mini IPad, and I gave the network and then the iTunes thing to press to connect disappeared...HELP!

    Try this  - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Force quit of iTunes upgrade has affected my iTunes app.. How can I fix my iTunes?

    I was in the process of upgrading my iTunes software on to my Macbook Pro while at the same time checking youtube. My computer froze up and the only option I thought I had was to force quit. Now my iTunes has been affected and it wont work. A box with 3 options-one being to relaunch comes up which i select. Then another box with reset and relaunch comes up which I also select. But It doesn't help. The first box comes up again and so the endless cycle begins. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, pleeease...!
    Thankyou.

    It seems to be working now. I noticed it kept crashing on the same song so I just deleted the file and now it's processing the files. I guess the song was corrupted or something. So far so good...

  • IPhone won't sync with computer, get error (-50) message. Also getting requests to sync when I open iTunes. I have 2 iTunes id's apparently. Can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S,7.1.1,  and my MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8, waiting to update to Mavericks as soon as I have some down time. My phone won't sync with my computer. I am getting an error message (-50). ITunes is also asking me if I want to sync my Podcasts, etc. with my computer when I first open it. I am assuming part of the issue is that I have 2 Apple ID's. One for my computer (this one), and another for my phone and iPad. Can I merge these identities? It this my problem or is there an incompatability between 10.6.8 and the new 7.1.1 OS on my phone?

    Hey Janice Lucoff,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

  • Since update 11.1.4.62, my iphone does not appear in iTunes at all.  How can I fix that?

    Hi,
    I updated iTunes this morning and now my iphone, ipad do not appear in iTunes. 
    I tried unplugging the usb cable and but it still does not work.  I tried powering off my iphone but it does not connect.
    my husband has the same problem with his ipad with his pc.  He did the same update this morning.
    Anybody has an idea?

    I had the same problem and tried some of the fixes describing Apple Mobile Devise settings etc. it didn't work.
    What did work was uninstall iTunes and othe various Apple apps and then reinstall with the latest version of iTunes from Apple. All my playlist, music, setting remained intact and it works like a charm.

  • Song order in itunes is out of order, can't fix with get info as apple suggests

    I recently got a new 160gb Ipod and noticed when i synced with my itunes library that a lot of my albums are out of order. looked around trying to fix myself, but the suggestion to go to 'get info' tab and fix song order is not working. Noticed that the date on a lot of the albums is 1969 despite the fact that they are newer albums
