New WIndows Profile, no iTunes playlists or ratings!

Howdy,
I just created a new windows profile for myself and basically copied over all of the contents of my old profile. Now when I go into iTunes, my ratings are gone and my playlists. Also I'm worried that plugging in my iPod will lose the songs on my ipod (all selected from playlists). How do I get it back?
Thanks!

yeah, i moved my my documents to the new profile... This XML doc is stored in my docs\my music\itunes right? or is there another. If this is the case, looks like i'm out of luck.... BOOOOOO APPLE I've got 1759 songs with about 80% of them rated not anymore...

Outlook prompts creds after migration, unless new windows profile created

HI!
Outlook keeps prompting credentials after migration for some users. When we create new windows profile for this user, all going well. Autodiscover in browser also keeps prompting for password.
I checked credential manager (there are no passwords stored), also tried new outlook profile (no help).
Any ideas?

2010 SP2 migrated to 2010 SP3. We already tried changing authentications. The problem occurs for random users (not all users). Auth settings on autodiscover virtual directory: Anonymous, Windows, Basic. Auth on exchange (get-autodiscovervirtualdirectory):
Basic, NTLM, WindowsINtegrated.
Also i did not mention early - the problem obviously with autodiscover. I can't get autodiscover.xml using browser (keeps prompting for credentials). From another winows profile on the same computer with the same mailbox all going well. So I don't understand
where should I look to.

New Windows profile broke Palm Desktop & Lifedrive Mgr.

I use my Windows PC at work as my primary PC for synchronizing my Lifedrive. Recently my windows profile got corrupted somehow, so the IT support guy at work had to create a new Windows profile for me and to try and copy over as much data as he could from my old profile files. Many of my applications now treat me as a first-time user, so I have to reestablish preferences, etc., but the Palm Desktop (PD) and Lifedrive Manager (LM) won't work at all.
When I first tried to launch the PD, it prompted me to select a user, but it the pick-list was empty. The same was true if I tried to select a profile. I tried creating a new profile and a new user in that profile (using a different username than I had previously), but when I went on to try and start the PD, I got an error box with the message: "Error: Invalid configuration. Terminating the Palm Desktop."
Similarly, when I connected my LD by USB and launched the LM application, it told me "Failed to start PalmOneRemoteLibrary initialization" and exited.
I suppose I could just re-install both applications, but I'm worried that I might blow away my old files under "Program Files\Palm\."
Any suggestions?
thanks, Bruce

You are probably going to have to uninstall and reinstall everything on the new profile, to preserve your data just copy your user folder which is located in the palm folder onto your desktop.
After you uninstall everything and reinstall, launch palm desktop and create the exact same username, after that copy the folder from your desktop back into your Palm folder and all of your data should come back.

HT204074 A new Windows install of iTunes 11.01.12 will not pick up the past purchases of Apps from my account

There's a number of free and a few purchased iPhone apps that were downloaded to an iPod Touch in the last couple of years, none of which will show up in a new Windows installation of iTunes. The goal of them showing up on a computer is the ability to delete many of them no longer used.
Here's a sequence of actions in an effort to get them to show up on a new Windows iTunes 11.01.12 installaton:
1) Purchase of an iPad, where all the purchased past store apps display correctly under the "Purchased" tab
2) Installed the latest iTunes on a Windows 8 computer in order to display, then delete all unwanted app store "purchases," whether free or paid.
3) Had five defunct authorized past installs of iTunes which needed to be wiped out in order to authorize a new install. Did that.
4) Successfully authorized the new Windows installation of iTunes 11.01.12 with one and only ID ever made, and it shows that, as well as the new iPad as both authorized with the same ID.
5) Under the "Preferences" menu, then Store and Advanced, checked Apps under Automatic Downloads. Always check for available downloads and Download pre-orders when available are also checked.
6) Went to Store menu item, then chose "Check for available downloads" from there. No legacy apps are available and it says: "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."
The result of all this is that there's still about 30 apps that had been downloaded for an iPod Touch device which don't display in the Windows iTunes installation and thus are still not available for removal.

You can change the Default Notes account with which your iPhone syncs by going to Settings > Notes and then tapping "Default Account" from there you can choose iCloud, On My iPhone, and possibly Outlook.
Also, a workaround for the issue is using third-party apps designed to backup your iPhone notes.
Thanks for the tip regarding the third party product (CopyTrans). This does look like a good workaround
Unfortunately your suggestion re setting the "default account" is inaccurate.
This sets which account new notes will go into, not which account iTunes syncs to.
My default notes account is already set to "On My iPhone", but iTunes refuses to sync it if the iCloud notes account is also activated
My original problem remains. I still cannot sync to PC while iCloud is one of the active accounts.
Given that notes and mail and calendar all allow for multiple accounts, it seems crazy to me that you can only sync the iColud account if it is activated as one of the multiple accounts. Any other accounts are ignored by iTunes !!!!

Put H.Drive with iTunes onto new computer...lost playlist and ratings

My main computer that had iTunes on it crashed the other day, my motherboard was fried. So I put the hard drive with the iTunes into another computer. The iTune files are not corrupted, but I have lost my playlist and ratings.
Is there a way to recover my old playlist and ratings?

Yes there may be.
iTunes operates as a database of information for your music files. The actual music files are stored on your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute references of the music file location and other information in its database file. This allows iTunes to use music files from any location on the PC: different directories/folders on the main HD, another internal drive, an external drive, or a network drive (or any combination of the above).
Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded location (both drive letter & path) so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, shut down or remove the Drive, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a ‘Broken Link’). Lose, move or corrupt the ‘iTunes Music.itl’ file and your complete Library will ‘vanish’.
If you delete, corrupt, or otherwise lose your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file, you will end up with a ‘blank’ Library within iTunes. Nine times out of ten, your underlying music files are still on the PC. They can be ‘re-Added’ via the File==>Add Folder/File menu command, but you will lose some of the music meta-data. Recovering your Library via backup copies of the iTunes database file, or from importing the XML file is always preferable.
By your placing the previous C: drive (I'm assuming) into another PC now reading it as the H: drive, iTunes is either looking at a blank Library database file, or reading the old one, but looking for the music on the C: drive where it was before (I'll guess the former).
IF you can put all the music on the C: drive into the exact same path as it was previously
AND you can place a copy of your previous ITL database file into the '..\My Music\iTunes' folder on the C: drive
THEN when you open iTunes, it should restore your complete Library.
Post back if you have questions or if you need to clarify your exact HD situation (I may have misread your meaning...).

ITunes playlists, song ratings gone in 10.4 under Lion

Im in a crysis here. My iTunes Libaray is gone under 10.4 in Lion. when i first started up it just gave me the standard iTunes window when you have no music or anything. You know it tells you where you can get it. So then i just told it to search my user folder for stuff to import and it started. but then when it gets done none of my songs had ratings that i had applied and none of my playlists where there. I checked my Music folder for playlists and didnt find any. what can i do?

Your playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you create are stored in the iTunes Library file found in /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library. What are the iTunes library files?, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
Tip: New versions of iTunes sometimes include enhancements to the iTunes library. When you open the new version of iTunes, iTunes upgrades your existing library to the new format and places a copy of the old library in the Previous Libraries folder. If everything goes fine during your upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, you can delete the older iTunes Library files.
Look in your /Users/username/Music/iTunes folder for a folder called previous iTunes Libraries. These files are dated with the date created.

How do I create a new window for the iTunes store?

Hi,
I have the latest iTunes update on a Windows PC, but I can't seem to open any new windows for the iStore like you used to be able to, so you have to come out of your iTunes library (annoying if you want to check that you haven't already purchased a song you're looking at etc.).
Please tell me there is a fix (easy or difficult) for this!!
Matt
P.s. I have the latest iTunes update.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Reboot the ATV and try it again. If it still won't play correctly, find the file in your iTunes store purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" link, and report it to iTunes store support.

Whenever I try to install itunes on my windows 7 laptop, itunes takes over all my other programs. What can I do?

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:

Does that get your icons back to normal?

New Windows UI in iTunes 9?

Hi.
I love the new Safari 4 web browser. I have previously never used Safari because it didn't fit in well with Windows. However, I like the use of transparency with the tabs on top and the toolbar colour.
Is Apple planning a native Windows UI for the next version of iTunes? It'd be nice if my Apple applications co-ordinated.

*Is Apple planning a native Windows UI for the next version of iTunes?*
This is a user to user forum so no one here would know what plans Apple has for iTunes.

IPod Nano 16GB, Latest Windows 64-bit iTunes, Playlist Question

Hello,
I have a 16GB Nano with touch screen and unfortunately it will not hold all of my music. I was wondering if it was possible to create Genius, Smart and Regular playlists and have iTunes sync only those playlists and ONLY the songs contained in those playlists? If so how do you do this?
Thanks,
Robert

Just set it to sync playlists, an put check marks by those playlists.

Can't you add new songs to an old playlist in iTunes and update your iPod?

I made a playlist a few days ago and yesterday wanted to add about 10 songs to it. I dragged the new songs into the playlist and they all appear in iTunes. I then updated my iPod and headed off to work. However, once I got to work I noticed that the playlist was still the same and the new songs were not on it. Shouldn't they have been?

Are you using automated iPod sync or manual? If you dragged the original playlist to the iPod (manual), then you have to manually update the iPod contents with the new entries.
An auto sync method should automatically load the new entries from the iTunes playlist to the iPod. Did you change the name of the playlist? Check the iPod Options area to verify your sync settings (right-click on the iPod in the iTunes Source list on the left).
