Need to find a fix for Windows XP 64bit
I just don't understand how apple has negeleted to make a download version of Itunes to work with Windows XP 64-bit OS. It seems to me that I'm not the only one here that feels the same and has had issues installing Itunes on there machine. I just purchased a new machine over the weekend to find out that Itunes doesn't work. No where in the specifications of the IPOD touch does it say it doesn't operate with Windows XP 64bit. It just says Windows XP. Is there going to be a fix for this? Let me know if any one has found a solution to this matter.
Apple has never supported the 64-bit version of Windows XP, and at this point probably never will since Microsoft themselves are dropping support for it. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64", you'll find threads discussing how people have managed to "crowbar" the version of iTunes for 64-bit Vista and WIndows 7 to XP 64, but the level of success has been less than 100%.
There are third-party utilities such as MediaMonkey, Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling transfer of content to your iPod . I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Store, so you will not be able to purchase content from the Store. The applications may also may not work with the most recent iPods, so confirm compatbility with your iPod model.
Upgrading to Vista or Windows 7 will probably be your best option for the long term, though.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Need To Find Product Key For Windows 8
It's my son's laptop and I bought it brand new in January 2013. It crashed two months later. I tried to get help through HP but to no avail. They told me to update the BIOS, which I did, and it worked for maybe a week and crashed again. I had a friend wipe it and start over twice after that because it just kept crashing. I then called HP, since it was still under warranty, to have them send me a new one since this one was obviously defective and the lady with whom I spoke said she would have someone call me back to help me. This never happened. I just gave up on it and bought another laptop in March 2013...the same exact brand, model, specs, etc. and have had absolutely NO problems with it since. I've since decided that it merely needs a new hard drive, which I am more than happy to purchase and install. It is the only thing my son has asked for as a Christmas present this year. The problem I have is that I don't have the product key for the OS. It came installed with Windows 8 and I have read through several other messages and understand that it is not something you can buy, however, I do believe, and feel that I am entititled, to have the product key so that I can properly fix my son's laptop. After all, it was a defective laptop/hard drive with which to begin and since HP support was actually of no support whatsoever HP should be willing to help with this situation. I have only ever used HP for desktops and laptops and have since 2001 and this is the first product I have purchased that was probelmatic.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.Hi:
Microsoft did away with OEM product key stickers starting on all PC's that come with W8.
The OEM product key is now encoded into the BIOS in order to prevent it being used on other PC's.
So, your notebook does have a product key.
You just can't read it and if you order recovery media for the specific model notebook, or use a Windows 8 OEM installation disk you won't need the key.
It will automatically enter itself during the installation. -
Fix for Windows 7 64bit Install Trouble
This is regarding the failure of iTunes 10.5 to install. Windows gives message stating Package is Missing some components, or something like that. I found that my Apple Updater product was not installed, only downloaded. I installed the Updater (by looking under Programs, All Programs, Apple Product Updater, and installed it. It then immediately went out, found iTunes 10.5 and Im good to go.

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???

MBR fix for Windows 7 thinkpads?
I really need to resolve this issue. My MBR is "broken" (restored to a non-lenovo stock Windows 7 MBR) and now all my lenovo software and a lot of my hardware's software won't work. e.g. Intel graphics control panel, lenovo system update, lenovo power manager, etc... While loading any of these, I get "<application name> has stopped working....".
Background:
I previously removed a dual boot of Fedora I installed. However, the grub boot loader remained and I wanted to get rid of it. Normally Lenovo's Rescue and Recovery can be used to restore the boot loader (and remove grub), but I couldn't load R&R nor install a newer version. From what I could understand from reading online, R&R required the lenovo boot loader installed to work properly so I couldn't use it to restore my boot loader - a classic Catch 22.
I decided to borrow a windows 7 CD to use the repair feature. It worked by restoring windows 7's boot loader. However, ever since I did this, a lot of the preinstalled applications I listed above do not work anymore. None of the lenovo software work for sure. I have tried to reinstall some with no luck.
My best guess is that I can't use Window's MBR, but instead need to restore Lenovo's MBR / bootloader. However, after a search online I found Lenovo only provides the MBR fix for windows XP and 2000, not 7.
Any suggestions?Fixing the MBR shouldn't alter the functionality of programs, unless you've changed the drive letter somehow.
Reinstalling R&R within Windows should get it to work again, though.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'

OS 6 Facetime not connecting after upgrade in UAE It was before on an Ipad purchased in Uk, I am miserable, I know its the carrier Etisalat, I sincerely some one finds a fix for this help.
I attempted to uninstall QT and reinstall- the QT 7.4 installer failed to install (it said a more up to date version was present, even though I'd trashed the old one). I downloaded and reinstalled 7.5 but itunes still did not work.
While my solution wasn't ideal
1) It was what Apple told me to do!
2) It seemed preferable to A) A complete system reinstall, B) removing 264 .plist files one at a time, rebooting, and seeing which one was causing the problem.
I still have the old .plist files in another folder, and can replace them in my preferences folder if I decide I need them. Most apps will create a new .plist file on start-up if there is not one present, so unless it is a program where I have gone to great lengths to change preferences from default, I'm guessing I will not notice much difference (and if I do, I can always go to my archive of .plists, or on Time Machine for that matter...) -
I still do not find any option for windows when I restart my mac when pressing the option key. It used to go to windows when I pressed the option key during a restart but since I have downloaded Lion, it always go to mac. I do not want to make a permanent switch. ANy suggestions on how to get back to using the option key?
You probably need to reinstall your Windows machine.
I'm not certain, but I have a feeling the install of Lion wipes it out, going by the number of threads started along similar lines since Lion's release. -
Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
BettyTry running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one. -

i need to find the download for ACR 7.3 to use my nikon d600 raw files. i have cs5 running on macbook pro with mountain lion OS.
Hi,
Unfortunatly the 7.x series of camera raw plugin is not compatible with photoshop cs5.
You could download the 7.4 DNG Converter and convert your d600 files to dng copies which then photoshop cs5 will open.
