New PC with Win 8.1. iTunes partial functionality?

New PC with Win 8.1. iTunes installs fine, but it looks like it has partial functionality. No menu at all. No "devices" down left side. Nothing. Can anyone help?

Hi, kevin0226.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Sidebar and menu bar are hidden by default in iTunes 11. Try changing the view on iTunes 11 to classic view. To enable the menu bar, press Control-B. To enable the Side Bar, press Control-S. Test to see if you can access the device.

New H535s with Win 8.1

I have just bought a new H535s with Win 8.1 - Do you know if there is a recovery section already built into the system or do I have to back up the whole system myself (using a lot of space)
thanks in anticipation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Yes, your system already has the One Key Recovery section installed so there is no need to create another backup.
Enjoy the new computer !

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

I own CS6. I just built a new computer with Win-7. How do I change to the 64 bit version and install on the new computer?

I get a message "could not initalize scratch disk full" I hae a new computer with Win 8 and I am installing PS 7

I get a message "could not initalize scratch disk full" I have a new computer with Win 8 and I am installing PS 7. how can I fix the scratch disk problem? Thank you for the help.

Are you saying that the Installation failed, or that Photoshop has installed but won't open?
You say Photoshop PS7. Is that a typo, or do you really mean the version that was released in 2002 and that preceded Photoshop CS?

If you do indeed mean PS7, then I am afraid that is not compatible with Windows 8.1

New computer with Win 7 that won't let me download Firefox

Just bought a new computer with Win 7 that won't let me download firefox

Not sure how often

any luck finding answer? i have the same problem.

I use FF 20.0.1. How can I move my Favories and settings fron a laptop with Win 7 to a new laptop with Win 8. I can't find appdata on the Win 8 PC 8

I want to use Firefox on my Win 8 desktop. i want to move my favorites, settings and add-ons to a new Win8 laptop from my old Win 7 machine. I know how to do it with Win 7 machines by moving my profile. I can't find appdata on the Win 8 PC to move the profile to.
I will also want to do the same with Thunderbird.

The easiest way is to use Sync.
You can find it in Tools / Options.
You'll always have settins, bookmarks, saved passwords, history synced between you computers (and Android devices).

I just got my new PC with Windows 8 and iTunes 11.0.0.163.

I just got my new PC with Windows8, and I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.0.0.163.
Unfortunately iTunes refuses to pick-up my iTunes library from the external hard disk drive where I keep it (to protetct her from computer crashes or theft).
Can anyone give me a solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot

Yes I thought if I backed it up to this huge drive I would be safe but have lost all of my TV shows I bought, several movies I bought and some music.
I had crashed my laptop in 2009 and they helped me recover it all and they used file extensions for the ones not located back then.
It looks like the system better organized now but everytime I try to bring it old stuff it duplicating music not the TV or movies I bought.

I have a new PC with Win 7 Pro and trying to xfer my libraries from my previous PC also running Win 7 Pro. How do I accomplish that?

How to install and migrate info to a new laptop with Win 8

I got a laptop a few days ago with Win 8.... I am totally lost. I installed FF and it shows on my desktop :)
Now I need to transfer all my data there. I created a new profile in the desktop (Win 7) in case... Then what???
I don't know where to find the info I am familiar with. I use FF 22.
Can you please help me (again!)?
I will have to do the same from an old laptop (Win XP) to the new one.
Thank you very much

Hi JenL27, the Profile Manager lets you see ALL your currently existing Firefox profiles and choose the one you want to use.
Start the profile manager again, select your original profile, and start Firefox using that one. It will be a lot easier to work with your data that way.
IMPORTANT: Do not delete any profiles without making good backups.

With my new computer with win 7, why did my 990cse lose the ability to print banner?

I have kept an HP 990cse solely to print genealogy charts in a banner format. My old computer crashed and I purchased a new one with windows 7 (formerly Win XP). The driver that was downloaded does not have the ability to print these banner charts. Is there another driver I can download to restore this ability

You might try the following: install the HP Deskjet 5550 (HPA) (HP) driver using Add a Printer, select the same post the Deskjet 990cse is on. Click on Windows Update when the list of printers comes up, then select the HP version of the Deskjet 5550 driver.
This should be compatibel with the Deskjet 990, at least for the basic printing. Banner paper is available as an option. Print modes such as some of the photo print modes or automatic paper type selection for the Deskjet 5550 will not likely work, but draft, normal and best modes with specific paper type selected should work.

Cant sync new iPhone4S with current version of iTunes (10.6.3)

Trying to sync new Iphone4S with an older Mac (OS X 10.5.8) to pull music and photos from Mac. When i plug in IPhone to the Mac, it says I need to update to iTunes (currently version 10.6.3) 11.1 or higher, but my Mac cant update to iTunes 11. Any suggestions?

Your Mac is running an operating system version that is now four versions old. Leopard (OS X 10.5) was released in October, 2007.
At a minimum, you must purchase the next version (Snow Leopard, which came out in 2008) and update it to version 10.6.8 to install the current version of iTunes.
You can purchase it here:

Downloading installer works, but installation does not. Nothing happens. New laptop with Win 7 (no earlier Firefox version) & Norton Anti-virus. 3rd Firefox

When I click button to install now, it only restarts the EZ download installer again. I've gone through the process at least 15 times now. I installed FireFox twice before on Windows XP with no issue. I've tried by turning off Norton, computer shut down & restarts, searched Internet Explorer settings for a setting to change, and still no success. I see no one else having this problem in the troubleshooting files, so it must be me.
New laptop with plenty of harddrive space. Internet Explorer version 9.0.8112.16421. Bing search - yech

finitarry,
Thank you for contributing.
I have downloaded the 607 KB "Firefox_Setup_19.0.2.exe" file four times now from at least three different Mozilla websites via EZDownload. I was very careful about that because one time I did it with Norton Anti-virus temporarily disabled. I double-click on the above file and it opens a new window with various "extra" software options and finally arrives at "Install Now" or "Later" buttons. Clicking"Install Now" brings up a Windows Open File - Security Warning box with "Run" or "Cancel" buttons. Clicking "Run" starts the setup file all over. I'm in an endless do-loop. It never installs Firefox and no new Firefox files show up on my PC.
AliceWyman,
Thank you for contributing.
Before beginning this post, I scoured the Support files and especially the "Download, Install and Migration" help files. Most topics close to mine deal with the Norton toolbar, which seems to have been resolved.
Doing some more looking, I found that my setup file was always 607KB, yet the website says it is 19.6MB. When I download it to my Windows 7 laptop, I have gotten a 607 KB size file four times, even though the process did not seem to be interrupted. However, using my Windows XP PC, I get 19.6MB. That could be the problem. I'll transfer the 19.6MB file from the XP to Win7 and see if that works. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
3/24/2013: It worked. Hallelujah!
Someone might want to verify this only happens to me. Maybe it is one of my settings or a fluke or maybe I'm paranoid, but a brand-new laptop with Windows 7 factory-installed stops the Firefox download at 607KB four times in a row (on different days) with no error message. I have to transfer the file from an old Windows XP PC. That sounds to me like Microsoft is trying to prevent the use of Firefox. It could have been something in Windows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1), Internet Explorer (version 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit), Bing, or less likely, Norton Anti-Virus (because I ran it disabled one time - even though Norton labelled the file as medium risk). Just a thought . . .
Right now, I am happily setting up the rest of my system around the quicker, more efficient, more user-friendly, less restricting, Firefox browser. Thank you. =)
