Itunes8- won't recognize anything, any ideas???

I upgraded to itunes8 on XP. It installs successfully but won't recognise any music even after I've uninstalled, reset folder and ripped a new CD (this aside from the full library music I have but now can't access!!!) Bascially it loads up (the initial screen is purple which is strange). It rips and imports albums OK, but if you come out of itunes and go back in it's back to purple screen and no music. I've tried getiting rid of anything that may conflict it just seems that it doesn;t work correctly. Can anyone suggest anything?? Thanks JK

See if either of these articles is of some help:

How to re-create your iTunes library
*(the initial screen is purple which is strange)*
The screen colour is possibly due to your display setting. Make sure that in your Display Settings colour is set to 32 bit. See this link for details: iTunes - Pink iTunes window under iTunes XP/Vista

    No, it has something to do with the firmware on the phone itself. The phone won't do anything. I have used redsn0w to try and put the firmware back on, no luck though. The farthest I am able to go is DFU mode. The message on the screen says, "Error no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up..."

    you install apps to an iphone by
    connecting the iphone to your computer and starting up itunes
    clicking on the iphone under devices
    clicking on apps tab
    checking on the app in the list of apps
    thats the only way to install apps to your iphone anything else you attempt will fail
    because thats not how you install apps

    Hi,
    Have you tried a reset?
    This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
    You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
    The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    No phone can send photos via SMS. You would need MMS (or iMessage or a 3rd party app such as WhatsApp). SMS messages are limited to 160 characters of text only.

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • PSE6 now won't launch. Any ideas?

    My PSE6 was working and after some cleaning on my XP at a shop, PSE6 now won't launch. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4: This would work for your PSE6 also.
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • QT7pro license number won't work. Any ideas?

    I have a QT7pro license number purchased several years ago, now have reinstalled QT7 on W7, but license number won't work. Any ideas?

    b noir:- It's a Windows license key. Has been fine on an old XP PC, but am moving to W7, so reinstalling everything bit by bit. I paid for it, should still be able to use I reckon, even years later. I can still log in to Apple and see the order number/license number etc, but it's just listed as an invalid key when used.
    Technically I don't really need it any more, as I have other video conversion / production software, but it is useful for quick production of movies for website usage.
