ITunes/Windows Timeouts
There are quite a few posts that discuss the problem of iTunes starting up, loading 30-60 songs and then no longer being able to communicate with the connected iPod.
I have seen several fixes offered. I found one for my 15GB iPod and posted it (involved stopping McAfee Antivirus software, closing internet connection, stopping antispyware software, removing the Windows firewall, and using just the right combination of iTunes builds (6.0.0.18 and Updater releases (6/26/05)). There was a good post about the power save function in Device Manager USB root hubs. There have been others that were fixed with firewire card purchases and reinstalls but I'm not altogether convinced that the problem couldn't have been resolved by a windows configuration fix.
I recently tried to upgrade to the latest iTunes build (6.0.1.3) and Updater (10/12/05)and I got the problem back.
Has anyone else found related fixes?
When I started to remove these versions and go back to the versions that worked, I saw a file I hadn't seen before in the /Program Files/iPod/bin...a 'map' file. It had a lot of very nice info in it. Well the uninstall instructions say to delete the "/Program Files/ipod/bin" directory so I did. Where did this file come from and what is it's purpose?
stupid question, but under tones you did choose to "Sync Tones" just battled this for 15 minutes before slapping myself up-side the head

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed ...any ideas?
I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/ -
when i plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens as normal, but for a while it's been giving me a message that says "iTunes is not the default media player" and after i 'tried' to do that, i'll close the settings window and my iTunes window will freeze and not close, reload, or anything. and if i "open drvice to view files" that window will freeze too, the internal storage window. i can't get iTunes to close with ALT+F4, or right clicking the tab on the bottom of the screen to close it, or clicking the 'X' button. the only way it closes is when i shut down my computer. please help me fix this. Its getting Really Really tiring having to restart my computer over and over.

Had issues upon updating iTunes to newest version (11).
The display settings were not working, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 Service Pack 2, which i'm currently running.
Still had major issues, couldn't click anywhere on the iTunes window, the only thing I could click was file but even then the dropdown menu wasn't working correctly.
I tried several times to adjust my computers' settings to accomodate the new version, and still nothing worked.
I got fed up, and uninstalled the lastest version and now I am having trouble reinstalling.
I tried the latest version a few more times, and now when I click download on the site link, it doesn't even prompt the download window in Mozilla.
It doesn't create a location anywhere within my computer either.
I downloaded 10.7 in hopes of that maybe working, I figured because I haven't updated the iOS on my phone, and my computer is still a little behind that this might help, but it says,
"itunes library.itl cannot be read" and something to do with having a new version of the file already.
I just want to have some version of itunes on here, I still have Bonjour, though I think with the issues I am having the Software update must be gone along with any itunes program I previously had.
I cannot restore any previous versions because I haven't backed it up on to anything for quite some time.
I just want to manage my iPhone 4 again, and this is driving me nuts.
Any help is very appreciated,
thanks for reading.The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

Hello,
I have just installed the iTunes update and now I have a problem. I have my task bar at the TOP of my screen, rather than at the bottom, which is more common. Now, iTunes has written its own window into the area where my task bar would normally reside. Not only that, but it is UNDER the task bar, so I cannot access it without auto-hiding the task bar. Even when I do this, and resize the window, the iTunes Window goes back to taking up the full screen, except for the fact that it leaves a blank space at the bottom of the window, presumably for the task bars that are on the bottom.
How can I get this to be fixed, NOW??? I have just decided to start using iTunes regularly, outside of my normal iPhones usage, for music management. I'm wondering if I should re-think this decision! Help.
~AntonioMy igoogle homepage started loading off-center. I could hit "refresh" and it would then load properly, but I wanted it to load correctly from launch.
After disabling add-ons (extensions), I discovered that the SKYPE extension was to blame. I uninstalled the extension and now the homepage loads correctly...centered. -
Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now. -
How to make the whole shebang appear in itunes window
Because my 25" Asus monitor is on the blink I'm using my 19" Asus monitor, both purchased new last year. Problem is that the 19", which displayed itunes perfectly before, now cuts the podcast list in half vertically and I have to use the horizontal arrow to see the right hand half of the display when I'm looking at the podcast list. But when I download and have a download list, there's no horizontal arrow and the name of the podcast is not displayed at all, just the name of that particular episode. So I have to play each one while it's on the podcast download list in order to make the name of the podcast appear in the little oval window on top for the currently playing podcast. How do I make the itunes window display its whole contents at once? The maximize button doesn't help--it's already maximized

How can i remove a device from itunes windows Vista

I am using a mini-Display port to VGA adapter connecter from my MacBook Pro to the VGA cable out of the back of my TV and for some reason my iTunes window will not display the visualiser at the same time on the TV. I can get them to play on diffrent Desktops in mIssion control but as soon as i make either of them full screen (which is what i want) it seems that one overrides the other and the screen of the non-fullscreen app goes blank I also cannot control the 4-finger horizontal swipe independantly on each screen. If i swipe on the mac, the TV swipes as well and vice versa.
Any advice or help i can get would be much appreciated and beofre anyone suggests mirroring the screen, that would not work as i would only get one app.Open System Preference > Time Machine
Click Options....

Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window. "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items. An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window. Has anyone had the same issue?
In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

Windows vista home premium iTunes window size doesn't fit properly
I am using windows vista home premium. In iTunes when I maximize the iTunes window, it doesn't fit the screen, it is a little too big and I cannot see the side scroll bar. To fix it, I have to restore the window, manually modify the size and the maximize it. Is there a fix to this? Or is an unknown little bug?
Have you checked the HP Website and Microsoft Support websites to see if they have any solutions to your problem? Since there could be multiple things causing this, I would check at the places I mentioned first and see if their knowledge base contains an answer.
