When trying to import music files I get an error message Thea says "importer reported a generic error". Also when editing video, screen views look great but when I transfer to PC or flash drive video quality is very poor. Any suggestions?

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).....
1. Music files and error message...are these music files from iTunes? If so, convert them to .wav in iTunes to convert them to wav version, and then import the .wav version into Premiere Elements 13 project using Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the wav version to the Soundtrack.
The following are the instructions for the iTunes converting
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1550
If any problems with the instructions, please let me know, and I will go through them with you.
2. How you set up the project and the export settings that you select greatly influence your end product result.
a. What are the properties of the source media?
b. What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of the source media.
(If you do not know, please tell us what you see for the readings of Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even
if the fields look grayed out.)
c. For your export...Publish+Share/Computer/and then what? And what preset? Did you use the default settings of the preset or did you
customize the export settings of the preset under the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Help! My music wont transfer

We thought it went through but it didn't. Did you get any answers? Do I need to contact someone else to get my info?

HT1391 I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer

I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT1420 It gives me an error message every time I try to authorize or deauthorize my computer. Everytime I sync my iphone it tells me it will delete my apps and my music wont transfer to my phone ... what do i need to do?

What does the error message say? (Precise text, please.)

7th gen ipod nano wont restore i get error message (-23) problem downloading software for iPod!

I bought a refurb iPod and i guess its formated for a mac so it told me to restore it but i get the error message and for some reason when i pluged it in it asked me if i wanted to reformat "removable disc drive G" which i'm sure is the iPod it self. PLEASE Help other wise i'm going to return it. THANKS!

So you are getting Error 23 or not?
That error indicates you have security software that is interfering with the download of the software. Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again. And you do have to reformat it for a PC but this should happen when you restore it in iTunes.

Nano Error Message

Thank you all for the post, I finally got 5.0 Fixed due to all of your efforts as well as a 2 hour phone call with Apple. Apparently we have one free call with each Ipod. However, although the software is working, I am having a problem transftering all of my songs to my Ipod Nano.
The error message says, Attempting to copy to the disk "Vinny's Nano" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).
This is a brand new Ipod Nano, because I took back the first one when I had that error thinking it was the Ipod. The apple store gave me grief about it saying they had never heard it, but they finally gave me a new one. Then when I got home, the same error occured, then I narrowed it down to Itunes (6 days later), because I did not get this same error message on my Ipod Photo. For your information, I synch the tunes on the Nano by a Music list, as it only holds 4 GB, and on the Ipod Photo, I synch manually. Neither one is used "enable disk use".
I can get up to 3GB on the nano when I receive this error message. A tip the apple support call gave me was that maybe it was because I had some tunes as mpeg's and some as AAC, so I converted all the mpeg's and now all my songs are AAC encoded, that helped a little bit and got me past the 1GB limitation. His other suggestion was to change USB port, which I had never heard about before. That did not help.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

soution from another thread:
The -69 error is usually because iTunes ran across a damaged or corrupt file and can't transfer it.
If you watch the names of the songs at the top of iTunes as your iPod is syncing, the last one you see is probably the bad one. Try temporarily removing it from your library and sync again. It is possible that more than one is bad.

My itunes wont open ! No error message

My itunes wont open ! When I click on the icon nothing opens, not even an error message. Iv tried opening it from Windows Task Manager > Processes > Itunes.exe but nothing seems to work ! Itunes doesnt open when I sync my iphone either ! Please help

Hi b,
I think I'm having the same problem as Vanessa (and a lot of others from the sound of it). When I click on my iTunes shortcut the hourglass pops up for a second and then nothing happens. I can't access the music store from the net either (I get a message that says "Loading... Please wait" and then nothing happens). I've turned off my firewall (Norton Personal Firewall 2003)and that didn't help. I tried Lorraine's fix with installing the files in Norton one by one and telling them to be permitted and that didn't work. I also tried a stand alone installation of Quicktime and that helped some (the quickTime player window does now pop up for a split second before disappearing when I click Quicktime) but I still can't access the music store. I thought I'd try your suggestion of looking in the task manager for my itunes.exe file but I can't find the task manager. Where is it?

Nano error message when trying to Sync

I have a new 2 G Nano, and tried to Sync to my Itunes library.
I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and restarted my computer before plugging it in for the first time. Im running Windows XP Pro. An error message comes up.
"Unable to sync. Required Disc not found."
So now I have a few hundred $ of music and audio books in my Itunes library that I cant sync to my Ipod. Not happy. And of course I cant get a refund from Itunes..
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks
Jane

Check to see if there is a drive/network conflict. With the exception of your iPod (plugged into a rear port on your computer), keyboard and mouse, disconnect ALL other USB devices including phones, cameras, printers, scanners, external hard drives, flash memory drivers, blenders, lights, etc. Also disconnect from any networks.
Now read this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
and change the drive letter of your iPod to something much higher, like M or P or Z. Also

Purchased music wont transfer to 1st gen ipod shuffle or click wheel ipod

I have read all the posts I can find about this problem and i cant find any solution. My 20 gig iPod wont accept any song that was purchased from the itunes music store and neither will my ipod shuffle 1st generation.
iTunes will display the message your ipod software is too old and I should upgrade. Well I cant. The upgrade button is grayed out so no joy there. This happens with both ipods. I have downloaded the ipod shuffle reset utility (old and the more recent one) and the old ipod reset utility says no firmware found. the new utility says cant get a responce from the ipod.
I erased the shuffle in Disk utility and still wont transfer purchased music.
I am using the most recent versions of quicktime and itunes and I am totally up to date with my apple upgrades.
One final thing. The software version and the serial number of my shuffle both say n/a in the summary tab in itunes.
I am very frustrated by this. I would have thought having a basically new apple computer would mean I would have no issues with this. Any one that can help will be a hero. Thanks
intel macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8
