PCMover and iTunes.... read before using PCMover

the following is a chat with PCMover.... I have itunes on my new computer, but cannot use it because of the 32 bit vs 64 bit. I discovered the problem two months after using PCMover....
Ken Hughes: would you like me to put something on apple support stating to not use PCMover for itunes, it does not work and no support is available. I can do that as a courtesy for PCMover. not to defame the product but to prevent people from having this issue.
Chat Support: We have seen some users being able to uninstall Itunes and its components and then reinstall them, however we suggest best not to migrate Itunes if the new PC is win 64
Chat Support: instead install Itunes 64 in the new PC and migrate the settings only
Ken Hughes: I have tried doing the uninstall... I get the message that I need the installer for 64 bit
Ken Hughes: I have not found the messasge/information on PCMover that says to not use PCMover with itunes.
Chat Support: Pcmover does not have buit messages to warn about every program that will not work in the new OS
Ken Hughes: You should !
Ken Hughes: my suggestion is to display known issues
Chat Support: I will add that suggestion to the suggestiong list the dev team has for PCmover
Ken Hughes: then you can decrease the number of disgruntled users
Ken Hughes: I strongly suggest not using PCMover, better off to not move and discover the errors later
Ken Hughes: Product souds great, just causes unrecoverable errors
Ken Hughes: Great .... I think that all itunes users need to be aware of the issues and be aware that there is no known solution. Once you use PCMover, you options are to undo the move (if you discover it immediately) or to just live with no iTunes on your new computer.
Chat Support: no, second choice is to install Itunes 64 in the new PC then migrate
Ken Hughes: But you must first know that there will be a problemn with itunes from the PCMover software... and if you do not use itunes for two or three months... then you have a major problem. Are there other software that also have problems caused by PCMover?
Chat Support: any program with copy protection, mainly Adobe and Intuit products
Ken Hughes: great to know now, after thwo or three months....
Ken Hughes: My advice is for the buyer to not use PCMover

PCMover works fine. It's a Microsoft issue.
Use MS's utility at the link below. Uninstall everything Apple, Bonjour, and iTunes. Download the install to the desktop. Right click and run it as Administrator.

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)
Best of days

No please don't as that will acomplish nothing. The feedback links are the way to go.

Should I uninstall Creative Cloud and CC apps before using migration assistant to my new imac?

I have heard that Creative Cloud and CC apps dont transfer well with the Migration Assistant from Apple.
I have a new iMac with Yosemite. Should I uninstall everything before using the Migration Assistant and then re-install Creative Cloud and apps afterward by downloading from the Adobe site again on the new iMac?
Is there a link to full instructions how to completely uninstall CC and the apps and clean up?

Hi There,
Kindly follow the below mentioned steps.
Try to Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
If that doesn't help.
Try to uninstall the product and run the Adobe CC cleaner tool to be on a safer side.
Install Creative Cloud app, Install the product again.
Kindly revert if the problem still persists.
Thanks,
Atul Saini

HT5035 When I try to purchase something on iTunes using store credit, it says that the store credit is temporarily unavailable and iTunes can't use store credit for my purchase at this time. What do I do?

I'm trying to make a purchase using the $10 store credit that I have, but a notification box comes up saying, "Store credit temporarily unavailable. We cannot use store credit for this purchase at this time. Do you want to pay for this item with your other pay method on file?" Why is it saying this? How can I purchase this item with my store credit?

I was finally able to download itunes on my laptop, this is really a pain in the butt, not I want to purchase a song and it's asking for a credit card and I have $18.71 credit on my account. Why can't I just purchase a song using the credit that has already been put on my account.???????

Scroll() in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader X using Javascript

Hi there,
Does someone know how scrolling works in Adobe Acrobat/Reader using javascript?
The scroll() functions needs two parameters: x and y.
How are these axises defined? Is this based per page or does the scrolling reference change every time the page changes?
Why we need to know this? We're making and application in Flash Builder that loads a PDF. External buttons need to call an embedded javascript within the PDF that scrolls up or down.
Anyone who can provide us with some information concerning this topic: thank you!
Regards
Mario

Well,
It's hard to formulate: basically we need to understand how the scrolling is handled in Adobe Reader.
Like: why does the scrolling index change every time you change to a new page. It gets resetted or something.
Anyway: you cannot create a variable "scrollVerticalIndex" and "scrollHorizontalIndex" and increment it everytime you want to go down or up/left or right and say scroll(scrollHorizontalIndex,scrollVerticalIndex). Also, if you zoom in, the dimension of your page stay the same. We cannot find a way to calculate top or bottom of a document.
In a perfect world you could say: (height of a page) x ((number of pages)-1) = total height of the document (and thus the total amount you can scroll up/down). But that is just not the case...
We want to get an insight how the scrolling works :-)
Does this make sence ;-) ?

I plug in my ipod to my computer and itunes reads it but when i plug in my sisters ipod it doesnt show in itunes or my computer

- Are they both iPod touches?
- Try a reset of the non-connection one. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Does the non-connecting one work OK

Find my iphone map no longer moving and scrolling as before

I have tried this question on another forum where someone else had the same problem, but there's been no further response, so I'll try my luck here.
I regularly use Find my iPhone to keep track of my autistic son, who has an iPhone 4, when he is out with his support worker. For the last couple of months when using the app the map no longer moves and centres itself automatically to the whereabouts of the green dot when the phone is located, so I therefore have to hunt around to where I expect he may be. Also the map no longer zooms in and out as before using the mouse wheel. Instead I have to use the buttons in the corner of the map.
It happens on both Chrome and IE browsers on Windows 8.1, and all software/apps are up to date.

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

Subtitles and iTunes rules of the road?

I have some television shows that are in mp4 or m4v format. I also have the appropriate srt (subtitle) files. Can anyone tell me how to marry the subtitles in such a way that iTunes will recovnize nd use them? I dont care if they are 'burned' in. I just want the subtitles and I have wasted dayw with various combinations.
Anyone know how to make iTunes/ QuickTime see subtitles?

There is more than one way to do subtitles in QuickTime.
1. First, you should install Perian, see http://perian.org/ yes the project is 'closed' but it still works fine. This will let you use .srt files in QuickTime and probably also iTunes.
2. QuickTime and iTunes can also use subtitles which are stored inside an m4v file as a text (subtitle) track. To do this you would have to convert your subtitles and video file, this would be the best option also if you want to use it on an iPad or Apple TV. There is a cheap utility called iSubtitle to do this see http://www.bitfield.se/isubtitle/index.html
3. Yes you can burn in the subtitles to the movie so they are part of the video itself. There is a cheap utility called SubMerge for doing this see http://www.bitfield.se/submerge/index.html

Why when I try and login to iTunes with my apple ID it says that it hasnt been used with iTunes store before and then does nothing?

I just got a apple ID and an iPod touch and when I'm trying to sync it to my iTunes and try and log on it says that my apple id hasnt been used in iTunes store before and wont let me do anything...?

No iCloud account previously. Message suggests I need to give email address in account username/I'D which isn't my Apple ID which is something different to an email address?

Reading terms and conditions page 3 of new account for iTunes Store before I put in US$ voucher purchased in Zimbabwe. If I'm traveling world wide, willI still be able to access the US services via this same account?

You can only use the US store if you are in the US with a US billing address on your account - the US store's terms of use (and they will be similar for all countries) :
The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.

App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

try logging out of of store and then log in again

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

After itunes finishes restoring my ipod touch 8gb, itunes still says itunes has detected an ipod touch recovery mode. You must restore it before using it with itunes. and i dont knwo what to do

Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.
