Need help getting my itunes library to work!!

Recently my computer CRASHED.... it wouldn't let me into windows, it was pulling all kinds of error messages. So to fix the problem I wiped the system and reinstalled everything. However, now the Itunes that came with my Ipod doesnt work... So I came here to the Apple website and downloaded and installed the LATEST version. That opened and ran fine, however it wants me to erase my Ipod because the library is on another version of Itunes and you can't have more than one. So I deleted itunes again and haven't placed it back in since I dont know what to do to fix the problem. There is nearly NO space on the computer even though there is about 1/20th of what was on it PRIOR to the crash, in it now. Can anyone help me figure out how to get my itunes to work again without completely erasing my ipod?

There is nearly NO space on the computer even though there is about 1/20th of what was on it PRIOR to the crash, in it now
I highly suggest before you fix your computer before you worry about getting iTunes installed, especially since you seem to be missing a large portion of your HD space.
To get music off your iPod, there are lots of applications to do this.

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.

The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).

Need help getting ALL iTunes from old comp hard drive

Old computer XP Home died after house was hit by lightning. Surge protector gave it's life but not enough to save the day. However both hard drives from old computer are fine and function via connection of USB external hard drive enclosure.
New computer is Vista Home Premium on AMD64duo w/4G RAM and 500GB hard drive.
Connected old hard drives to USB and can see everything. Did Import Folder and copied most files from old iTunes Music directory. (I say most files because iTunes continues to crash after approx 10 minutes of this copy process. On 17th try now.)
Can see and play the music that got copied but artwork is gone. Playlists are gone. Ratings gone. Basically all the preferences of how I had the old iTunes setup.
Needing help in understanding how to get Artwork and anything else I can from the old iTunes.
Have not tried to plug in iPod yet. Will wait atm.
First old drive had Program files and Second old drive had all Data files.

First, I followed the instructions on this site for Backing up itunes library by copying to a external hard drive.........
That's what it does. It makes a backup copy of the iTunes folder. iTunes will not use that folder or do anything to that folder.
All that succeeding in doing was mirroring whatever I did on the C:/ drive on the E:/ drive i.e. if I deleted itunes from the C:/ drive it disappeared from the E:/ drive.
Do you mean after you followed the instructions and copied \Music\iTunes folder to the external drive and then deleted something from iTunes, it deleted it from the external drive also?
As above, iTunes will not use or do anything to that folder.
Next, I followed these instructions for Moving the itunes media folder to the external drive.
Why? You already copied the entire iTunes folder (including th emedia folder) to the external drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library.itl_ file in the iTunes folder on the external.
This too didn't help as the media folder is not the problem, its the library as its 735kb!
What do you mean "the library"?
735kB is small for the iTunes library.itl file and a single file in iTunes is larger than that.
Am I right in thinking there's no way of moving the library to the external drive whilst wiping it from the C;/ drive?
Yes. Follow my intruction above (Choose library) and iTunes will use the iTunes folder on the external.
You can then delete \Music\iTunes on the C: drive.

Desperately need help getting Flash music player to work correctly!

I'm working up a Flash template for a site that has a music player for 3 different tracks. The template came with 3 separate fla files for each track (Music1.fla, Music2.fla and Music3.fla), which I opened and imported my own mp3's into, set them to repeat only once, and then published the swf's. The music player works fine, but when the first song ends, the music stops unless you click on the next music track in the player. I'd like to have it where after the first song finishes it automatically starts playing the next song, then when it finishes the 3rd and final song it goes back to song one. How can I do this? Is it as easy as inserting some Actionscript into the Music fla's or would it have to be fixed in the player itself on the site's fla?
I have the site uploaded here to check out:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really in a bind and need to get this fixed quickly!!

K, give this a shot.
All you need to do is duplicate the code on the buttons in the sound controller that load the three songs. So on the last frame of music1.fla, enter -
path="music2.swf";
loadMovieNum(path,1);
Do the same for the other music flas using the next song number. You may have to add _root. before the loadMovieNum command, so it would be:
_root.loadMovieNum(path,1);
This will only work if the mp3s are imbedded in the music flas. You will have to add a zillion frames to the timeline to see where the audio file ends, create a keyframe there and enter code on the keyframe.

IPod NEOPHYTE needs HELP!! (iTunes library transfer to iPod)

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.01, **but this problem remains (b4 and after upgrade)! Can anyone tell me why (and how to fix) my iTunes Library shows aprox. 2800 songs (aprox. 15 GB), but regardless of how many times I connect my iPod to my PC (to charge, etc.)-- my iPod only contains/displays aprox. 2600 songs (13+ GB)?!?! What do I need to rectify this? Thanx in advance to all you much smarter technophiles!

did you check your itunes options to see if you
have
selected the 'Only Update checked songs' option
and
if some songs in your itunes library are
unchecked?
if this is so then unselect the 'Only update
checked
songs' option. Hope this helps
(2) YEAH, I checked and this option is NOT checked, so that's Not the problem
Thanx though!

I need to get my itunes library from my phone back into my computer. I had a crash and had to purchase a new computer.

How do you get your itunes library to work in keynote?

I just bought Keynote and I'm trying to add audio to the slide. I went to the media icon and tried to add it but it showed there was nothing in my library. It recognized the photos. It's weird because I have thousands of songs, so I have no idea why it wouldn't let me access it.

Have you selected iTunes Library in the drop down menu of the media browser?
Media browser > audio > itunes library
If iTunes refuses to show, use the Mac finder and drag the files directly into Keynote.

Need help getting my itunes to work on my vista computer

I have been trying to run itunes on my home computer that is running vista 32 on it. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled more than once and I still get an error that states that I am missing an i***********.dll file. I have tried doing it under a new account on the computer and still does not work. I have tried running it as an admin, and still nothing. What else can I do?????????

The file is libicuin.dll
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Please help need help restoring my Itunes library because of fatal PC crash

Wondering if there's any hope out there, turned on my PC last night and the useless piece of #"!! Crashed on me throwing out error messages about it's kernal, I've tried everything to get it to boot enough that I could log in on safe mode and make a backup of my Iphone's library however it decided to crash every time I got to the login.
I have been left with no choice but to format the hard drive & re-install the operating system, it's now running better than ever but you guessed it no library or any other files for that matter.
Point is I know just about every second time I plugged in my Iphone to synch a backup of the data on the Iphone would start, right now I'm scared to plug it in in casethat does not happen & it wipes all my songs and apps off the Iphone which I dont think I could replace nevermind the phone book.
I have re-installed Itunes and have authorized my acc on the new build but dont know if there is any way to restore the library from the Iphone.
Any help on this would be a real lifesaver.
yours sincerly
Soon to be MAC convert.

You should really back up important data, as hard drives can and do fail. I assume for the post, that you did not back-up your info.
You can, with the iphone attached, hit File>Transfer Purchase. This will get the songs purchased from itunes. The other songs, photos, etc. are likely gone.

Need help getting DataProvider cursor methods to work in JSC

Hi, I'm a newbie to Creator as well as JSF. I'm using JSC Update 1. I've
worked through a couple of the beginning tutorials including "Performing
Inserts, Updates, and Deletes" without a problem. I'm now trying to
craft a simple jsf database form application on my own using the sample
travel database and I'm stuck!
I put text fields on the form corresponding to each of the 4 fields in
the PERSON table and bound them to the fields in the table which, on
examination, resulted in a CachedRowSetDataProvider (personDataProvider)
in Page1 and a CachedRowSetXImpl (personRowSet) in SessionBean1. I then put 4 buttons on the form (First, Previous, Next, Last) for record
navigation. Here is the code I put in the first two actions (the others are
the same except for the cursor methods):
public String btn_firstrec_action() {
try {
personDataProvider.cursorFirst();
} catch (Exception e){
error("cursorFirst failed: " + e.getMessage());
log("cursorFirst failed " , e);
return null;
public String btn_next_action() {
try {
personDataProvider.cursorNext();
} catch (Exception e){
error("cursorNext failed: "+ e.getMessage() );
log("cursorNext failed " , e);
return null;
etc.
When I run the application using the bundled app server I get strange
behavior when I click the navigation buttons. There are 6 records in the
table. The application opens up displaying the data for the first
record. Clicking "Next" takes me to record 2--so far so good. However,
with repeated clicks on "Next", "Previous", "First" the data displayed in
the form remains the same. If I click "Last" (personDataProvider.cursorLast(); ), the data from record 6 is rendered OK!
I worked a little in the debugger. I added a cursorChanging method and
put a break point in there. Then I watched the index attributes for rk1
an rk2 as I continued the execution. I had to hit Alt+F5 (Continue)
2 to 4 times on each button click depending on the action--4X
with "Next" and "Previous". For each button click the index values would
change at first to what logically seemed the correct values but
then snap back to 0 or 1 as I kept continuing depending on the sequence--
wierd to me.
I also tried configuring all the form fields in a virtual form with
"Participate" on for the text fields and "Submit" on for the buttons
with the same result (I was really "shooting in the dark" here!).
I'm obviously missing something here--this shouldn't be this difficult!
I have scanned through a lot of the excellent tutorials, articles and forum posts as well as some of the sample apps but haven't as yet found a similar example of using the DataProvider cursor methods which seems pretty basic to me but, I could have easily missed seeing what I needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated--I'm really counting on this tool
to get an overdue project going so I'm somewhat desperate.
Thanks, Len Sisson

This happened to me as well the first time I used the JSC (and I was a newbie in web). I believe it is because everytime you hit the button, actually the sequence of program will back to init(), button_action(), prerender(), destroy(). So, try to remember the last state of the cursor position using session variable. And then you put a code in the init() to move back to the last cursor position.
Check the sample program provided by JSC (SinglePageCrudForm). This sample demonstrate how to put a code in init(), destroy() in order to 'remember' the last position.
hope that helps

Need help getting my surround sound to work when watching TV

I recently got the Samsung Blueray Home Theatre system and it works fine while watching movies, but I can't seem to get the system to work while watching regular tv? Any ideas?

In order to get sound while you are watching braodcast tv or satalite you have to route the sound to your receiver some how. If you use a external source for watching tv, like a digital cable box or satalite receiver you will have to run the sound to your receiver from that component. A digital connection would be best so your receiver can decode dolby digital if its available for the program you are watching. And optical cable, digital coax (looks like an RCA cable) or HDMI if your components utilize it. For the HDMI you would need to have an HDMI out on the cable/satalite box and a HDMI input on the stereo receiver.
If your not using a cable or satalite box then you need to run an optical cable from the optical out of your tv to an optical input on the receiver.
Without knowing exactly what components you are using its hard to say which would be the best way to hook it up.

Need help with transferring iTunes library to different computer

My old iPod stopped working so I bought a new one. For my older iPod I use a different computer but I want to use a different computer for my new iPod. I have all my songs on an external hard drive and I want to use that for my other computer. How do I keep the same library stats such as play count, last played, date added etc. on the new computer? When I am looking through the iTunes files there are multiple library databases and I don't know which one contains all my stats data that I want to transfer over to the new computer. Also, how do I transfer all my playlists to the other computer? Thanks!

Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
