    My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes.  I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either.  I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
    I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am  going to loose all these now?  Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
    Thanks

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

    Getting the error message:
    the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?

    Thank you

    I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

  • I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 and now I get an error messages saying "The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

    I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 for windows 7 and now when I try to open itunes with the shortcut on my desktop I get this error message: "The item 'itunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."  I can't open itunes at all.  Is there anything I can do or is there a problem with the new update?

    Start > Programs = Firefox
    Does that shortcut work?
    If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC.

    (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
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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?

  • HT1665 Why does my ihome no longer work properly since my iPod update

    My ihome no longer works properly since I updated my iPod to the most current software update. Is there a fix?

    Sometimes thisworks:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However,sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you have to wait for either an iOS update or and update to the iHome firmware. Go to iHome's support site

  • ITunes Match No Longer Works With iTunes 11.1.4.62

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works.  It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already.  Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?  What can I do to remedy this problem?

    So I'm guessing that there is no fix for this error?  I see that this patch has caused complete disaster for not only me but for lots of other people as well.  Tell us how to fix our issues or release a new patch!

  • 4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works

    I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.

    Hi randy_m,
    If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -

    Dear ladies and gentlemen!
    I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
    Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner
    mailto: [email protected]

    The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
    The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

  • Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly  ???

    Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
    Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly.  If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
    No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
    This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3933451#3933451
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm running 7.5.1.
    Is this an Acrobat issue?  The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

    Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
    Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with  Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
    I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vista

    ;Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vistat I have just upgraded to vista and I find my sound card to be no longer functional
    I have upgraded all the fri'vers I can find
    SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe
    creative_sbxfi_250002_vista.exe
    and a couple of others that SecurityCentre found
    And when I open "Surround Mixer" I get "The selected soundcard is not supprted by the application," whatever the hell that means.
    Ihave spent all day researching installing rebooting, and cannot get microphone, and all the other functions "what you hear" etc to work.
    What must I do to get this perfectly good sound card to work please. Vista has been out for some time now, and I would export supportingdrivers yo have been redily visible.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    ? I guess Creative doesn't care about living up to the promise that their product is upgradeable as new technologies emerge such as VISTA. They were give plenty of warning, that it was coming out, and it has been out for some time. I guess the $700AUS I spent is down the tubes, because the lazy people at creative cannot be bothered to bring it into compatibility - AS PROMISED with "peace of mind" they said. There is no way that I will acti'vely tell people how good creative is any more. In fact I will be acti've in just the opposite.
    Get of your backsides and support AS PROMISED, we deserve it, instead of giving us second rate partial compatibilities. I have wasted the best part of a week trying to get it all sorted, where do I send the bill for my time? Hvae I got sour grapes? No, I just expect decent support as promised.
    I issue the challenge - ?Provide decent support and I will retract. Fair is fair. I PROMISE.

  • Old Edge projects no longer working properly

    All my Edge projects I did back in 2012 are no longer working properly when i open them in the new Edge CC. Most (if not all) start-positions are wrong, animations go the wrong way and so on. Is there a way of getting it back to work without re-doing everything? An "import" or something?
