Preference window missing on itunes

has anybody had problems trying to get a summary window to change sync, I have no summary click buttons at top of library, i've reloaded itunes but is still the same ,i'm running windows xp professional.

This might seem like an odd question but have you got your iPod connected? You only get the iPod preference tabs whenever your iPod is connected and showing in the iTunes source list. To get the Summary screen you click on the iPod icon and the preference tabs are displayed in the main pane.

  • Ipod preference pane missing in itunes 7.1?

    I just upgraded iTunes to 7.1.1 and want my iPod icon to remain visible, even when it's not connected to my computer. But now, under preferences, there is no tab for iPod, to change this setting. Anyone know where it went?
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Unfortunately, this isn't possible. The iPod icon will only display in the source list when an iPod is plugged in. Also, the new iPod page (what you first see when you plug in an iPod, or select one that is plugged in) has all the options that used to be in the iPod preferences tab.

  • When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

    When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been  unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?

  • I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

    I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

    There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
    Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there

  • List of solutions for airplay icon missing in iTunes 11 (windows)

    It seems like there are a lot of problems out there with airplay and iTunes 11.  I think it would be great if Apple or someone were to make some sort of diagnostic tool for airplay.
    I am starting this thread in an attempt to collect some of the various solutions to the airplay problems.  Hopefully, other members of the community will add other solutions that they are aware of.
    Problem: Can't find the airplay icon in iTunes 11 for windows
    1) make sure you are looking in the right place.  The icon will appear to the right of the volume slider in the normal iTunes view.  If iTunes can't find any airplay devices, this icon will not be present and the area will just be blank.
    2) For me (iTunes 11.0.5.5), I did some system work in Windows 8 64-bit, and installed AdAware, and uninstalled it.  I think this reset my firewall settings.  The airplay icon was missing from iTunes but I was able to do airplay from my iPad over the network.  I searched the start menu for "firewall", started "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security", and in the Inbound Rules list I saw that I had 5 entries that started with "Airport".  2 of them were disabled.  I double clicked on each disabled rule, and changed the action from "Block the connection" to "Allow the connection".  After hitting ok and doing this for both blocked rules, I restarted iTunes and the airplay icon appeared and everything works fine.
    3) A popular solution which has worked for me in the past has been to switch the program to miniplayer view.  There you will hopefully see an airplay icon.  Some people say you should select each of the entries in the airplay list here in order to get them to "stick."  When you switch back to normal view, the airplay icon should remain visible.
    4) I have seen someone update their dd wrt (open source based) router firmware and had the problem go away.
    5) Some have had luck unplugging their airplay device (ie: receiver) for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
    Please add to this list if you can!

    Windows 7 64bit
    iTunes 11.1.2.32
    Apple TV (New Shape) / Airport Express 3rd Gen.
    I've had the issue of no Airplay button for the past few weeks. Strangely, it appeared randomly, but never stuck around for too long before disappearing. However, from reading this thread i uninstalled my wireless driver, and reinstalled from a generic windows search, and also installed Apple's Bonjour service (did this one after the other) and restarted my machine. All seems fine now, and the airplay button is there.
    Thank you all so much for your inputs in helping get a resolution. I hope this works for everyone else with the issue.

  • IPod Preference Window Doesn't Show in iTunes

    My computer recognizes my iPod but the preference window does not show up so I can't add new playlists or make changes. It syncs but I need that preference window. How do I get it back? I had to do an archive and restore last week...would that affect it?
    Thanks.

    If Windows recognised it, there is a good chance of recovery, by using Chkdsk
    go to DOS and type in
    chkdsk drive: /F
    where drive: is the iPod drive ID either D: or E:
    The above operation will try to fix any iPod filesystem error.
    Then iTunes will pop up, or you may have to Reset iPod while still connected to the PC.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes, (back to the pre-Apple II days).
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • Windows right click iTunes Match iCloud option missing

    Hi there
    Running a PC on Windows 7
    In itunes I've noticed that when I right click on a song that hasn't uploaded the iCloud options have gone
    Anyone else got this issue and a fix for it?
    Should I just reinstall iTunes? or is this a known bug with a fix on the way?
    Many thanks

    That's because the track is now available in the cloud. You need to enable the iCloud Status column to see then status of the song. Pull down View > View Options, select "icloud status" and click OK. After the initial scan, match and upload process has completed you will see one of two statuses on a track: "matched" or "uploaded." Neither of these will have the "add to icloud" option in the contextual menu. Andy songs that are "waiting" still need to be processed by iTunes Match.
    Keep in mind that not all songs actually "upload" to the cloud; most of them will "match" to songs in the iTunes Store. Hence the name of the service: iTunes Match.

  • Blank white System Preferences window

    Hello all,
    I purchased a secondhand G5 for the purpose of having a second internet station at home (I do most of my work on a late 2008 MBP but we've got multiple people here who like to use the Internet at the same time). When I set up this computer, it was hooked up to an old flat screen monitor (bought when they first came out) the HD was wiped clean, Leopard was installed, the internet was set up and working and everything seemed good to go. However, I wanted to get into the system to change the monitor resolution setting since the type/icons were a little big for my taste.
    When I pulled up System Preferences, I got a completely blank white window. This happens every time System Prefs is launched. I can click on this window where normally icons would be, and things seem to happen (the window changes size) but it remains completely white. Moreover, all of the pulldown menus from the top menu bar also are blank white. I can move my mouse down in the File menu where Quit would normally be, and I can click on it and System Preferences quits. If I quit out of System Prefs, the Finder and other software windows act normally. When I log into System Prefs again, same blank white window, same problem.
    This blank white window thing also happens with Preview, but I have not noticed it with any other programs on the system (yet).
    Here's what I've done to troubleshoot:
    Discarded appropriate systempreferences.plist file in the User>Library>Preferences window, also appropriate file in User>Library>Caches. Emptied trash and rebooted. Same problem.
    Reinstalled Leopard, 10.5. Tested, same problem. Upgraded with combo pack to 10.5.8, tested, same problem.
    Swapped out video card for a known working video card, tested, same problem.
    Swapped monitor for known working new monitor, tested, same problem.
    Am I missing some other .plist or similar file that should be discarded? Has anyone experienced anything like this and been able to solve it? Would this be due to software issues, or some kind of hardware issue? Because I can't see System Preferences, I can't create a new user account and discard the old one to try and resolve any software issues, my only choice is to do a clean install (which I have done to no avail).
    Help? I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance.
    Raji

    Well, at least we are seeing some light here. I forgot about Safe Mode! When I started up into that, I can see the System Preferences windows just fine... it's no longer white, and I can select what I need and make changes.
    However, I have done permissions repair from every possible angle (both from HD and DVD), I have reset the PRAM, and I still get a blank Sys Prefs window on normal startup.
    The only thing suggested here I have not tried is replacing the PRAM battery (since at the moment, I don't have one). That will be the next angle of attack but I'll have to wait to get one in.
    Other than the battery, could this be some kind of peripheral or software conflict?
    This is bugging me! I mean really.... it's just an Internet station, but one does want things to work properly nonetheless!
    Thanks for the help so far.... ! It has been useful.

  • Hi anyone having a problem with windows 7 and itunes

  • I just downloaded the latest version of itunes for Windows and now itunes crashes every time i launch it

    I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows and now iTunes crashes everytime I launch it.  I have tried re-downloading and selecting Repair with no luck.  Any suggestions?
    thanks

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

  • Windows XP or iTunes not recognising ipod

    I see a lot of posts regarding ipods not being recognised by either Windows and/or iTunes and I just thought that I would pass on this tip that has helped me fix this problem on two Windows PCs.
    In both cases the cause of the problem was usb related. For some reason Windows sometimes gets its underwear in a twist with its usb configuration and in both cases the following procedure fixed the problem.
    1.Turn off the computer.
    2.Unplug all USB devices from their connections in the computer except for keyboard and mouse.
    3.Turn on the computer.
    4.Plug devices back into the computer or hubs, one at a time in the following order. Wait for Windows to find and enable each device before connecting the next.
    a Hubs
    b Printers and multifunction devices
    c Scanners
    d External drives (not memory or key plugins)
    e Camera and PDA docking stations
    f All other devices
    5. Make sure the devices work.
    That's it.
    I know it sounds like alchemy and i'm not suggesting that it will work for everyone with ipod recognition problems but it has certainly worked for me with two PCs. My PC and iTunes happily run 3 ipods - a shuffle,an ipod mini and an ipod nano.
    I thought the above might just help some harrassed Dads and Mums from tearing their hair out on Christmas morning.
