Need Help Fixing iTunes and Getting Songs To Play

I have been having trouble with iTunes ever since transferring to a new computer several months ago. Fist of all, a different iTunes downloaded on the new computer that I don't know how to navigate or find anything on (and I HATE it!). After 2 or 3 months I finally figured out how to transfer my songs from the old computer to the new, but was not able to transfer the playlists. Very unhappy with that, but at least was able to put new songs on my iPod again. Today when I went onto iTunes it asked if I wanted to download the new upgrade, so I clicked yes and restarted computer when prompted. After the computer restarted I went back to iTunes and got an error message that said some things were missing and I needed to reinstall iTunes (I don't remember exactly what it said). I didn't know what to do so I Xed out of iTunes and turned it back on. A box asked if I wanted to reinstall and fix iTunes or untinstall -- I clicked the first one, to reinstall and fix and replace what was missing. After that I went back into my iTunes and discovered that most of my songs won't play. I get an error message saying "could not be used because the original file could not be found." I also found it unusual that I have purchased over a hundred songs over the years but when I click on "Purchased Songs" it only lists 20. I have hated iTunes ever since switching from my crashing XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Does anyone know how I can get all of my songs to play? Or how I can get my playlists back? when I plugged my iPod in months ago I thought the playlists might transfer to the computer from the iPod, but they didn't. I want to change some of the songs on my playlists and add more but I can't. Now I can't even play most of my songs. I am very distraught! Thank you for any help!!!

As M has noted, the more info that is presented in the question the quicker you will get a constructive answer. No one can read anothers mind. It is an art to write what ones thought are.
I will assume that you mean "default" as being your internal speakers. To change your sound output - assuming that is your question - go to System prefs and select SOUND. If there are any other sound output options then it would be listed and you can make your selection of speakers.

I need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

i need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

Hello! no, you haven't stumped the pros. This is a user board. No pros here to stump, just volunteers.
Shuffles are only designed to sync with one PC. Connect it to your PC and restore it to factory settings. Eject it. When your wife connects it to her PC, it should get recognized.

Need help with Itunes and IPod Shuffle

I have the latest updates for both Itunes and the IPod Shuffle. I have Itunes on two different PCs, one for the wife and one for myself. I got a new Nano and gave my wife the Shuffle I had and she gave her shuffle to a friend. Everything has worked just fine in the past. When she plugged in my shuffle it asked if she wanted to sync to this PCs library and she said yes. Everything went fine except that no files will copy to the shuffle. It seems to take a VERY long time to sync as well. I tried dragging a song or a playlist but it just sits in sync mode for a long time and then when it's done there is no music on the shuffle. I don't understand the problem. When I attach the shuffle to my PC it asks if I want to sync to the library and everything works, files transfer, no problem. Putting back on her PC and going through the resync business again results in the same situation. Help!

Need Help for Itunes and quicktime

Hi there,
I just formated my computer and my os is windows 2003 server. When I installed itunes, everything is fine however when I installed quicktime I got an error code : -3. What's going on? and after I done with the installation, I couldn't open an itunes as well I got an error message said : The exception Privileged instruction. (0xc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0x7ca2af84. I don't know what happened I did install itunes and quick time under windows 2003 before and it works fine, but now I got an error. I appreciate the answer, Thanks in advance.

by any chance, did you try downloading the QT Player
from the "QuickTime 7.1 with iTunes 6 for Windows
2000/XP" link on the QT download page? that one
actually leads to an itunes/QT installer bundle.
I did it this way
let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
from there rather than online.) switch off
antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
launch properly again?
I did like you said and I can not even uninstall quicktime from my computer. When I double click the installation package: It shows
Unhandled Exception
Error Number : 0x80040707
Description : DLL function call crashed : QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallProc
Setup will now terminate
Also, itunes does not launch properly. I think there is something wrong because when I install the windows from the cd I can install and run these two programs(itunes and quicktime). They work fine and no problem at all. However, after I update windows by using windows update web site, I couldn't use these programs since then. I have no idea what is going on? Before I reinstall my os, I also use windows server 2003 with sp1 and I could run these two programs. I think may be the new version of itunes and quicktime that they put on the web site have some issues with the windows server 2003, not sure about that.
Thanks.
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone
reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Need help in itunes and app store

hey, i have a iphone5 i made an account in app store and i put it in the settings and when i go to the app and update twitter or any app it doesnt give me my email to put password but give me another email called "[email protected]" and i have already change it in the features and put my email instead of this email but when i update any app appeared to me this email"[email protected]" and ask me to put password thank you and i need help please

It sounds like someone else owned this iPhone before you. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't have a stolen phone but bought it used, if there are apps on this phone from the previous owner this phone needs to be completely erased and restored to the factory settings. These apps are not yours and for you to use them is software piracy. You should go to Settings/Gerneral/Reset/ and Select Erase All Content & Settings. Then set this up as your own iPhone with your own accounts.

Need Help with iTunes and buying

Well, I just bought a few songs on itunes. I clicked the button next to "Eric's iPod" and it disappeared! Now I can't listen to the songs because I don't know how to get the songs in my iPod. Please help me!

You maybe ejected the iPod. Try disconnecting then reconnecting the cable. Does your iPod show in iTunes now?

Need Help with iTunes and Windows 7

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell laptop and tried to install iTunes for my iPod and iPhone. The first time I tried it out it ran smooth as anything, but if I'm connected to the net things start to go downhill. At my flat in University (no internet connect) it ran fine, but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now, but obviously dont want to have to do this again and again...
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance
Dan

but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
What security software are you running on the PC, Dan? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)

Need help with iTunes and QuickTime

iTunes not opening. Followed Web instructions to reinstall QuickTime. It will not download. Antivirus, pop up blocker and web accelerator off. Have year-old Dell with Windows 7; internet via HughesNet - slow. What should I do? Thanks

It will not download.
Do you get an error message when you try to download the QuickTime Player? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I need help with iTunes and iPad!

I need to transfer my magazine subscriptions to my new mini iPad from my old iPad. Can't do it. Already connected to iTunes. Still isn't working.

If you are using a Mac computer, first you need to download the iBook App from the Mac App Store. After the installation import all magazines to iBooks, then you will be able to sync your books on iTunes. iTunes no longer let you import books or pdf, you do this in iBooks, then select the books tab from iTunes to sync (selecting your ios device).
If you are using windows... I have no clue .
