So frustrated with the overwhelming number of bugs in iTunes for Windows...
I hate to come across as a Negative Nellie but this program is frustrating me so much!!!
Summing up the major burrs under my saddle:
Won't play ANY movie file. Just freezes and hangs.
Can't download updated apps without freezing and hanging.
Can't access iStore without (take a guess?) freezing and hanging.
Synching to my iphone or ipad causes itunes to hang for indeterminate periods of time. MOST times it will come back after a few minutes.
Often can't complete synch because of one of those 'undefined' errors.
iTunes has mysteriously dropped whole audiobooks, movies, ebooks, and albums out of my library, even though the files are still there.
iTunes can't rescan its own media library and add files back.
Don't even get me started on DRM. I can't play back movie files and TV episodes that I own from my iTunes directory to my smart TV because iTunes won't recognise the TV and allow me to authorise it as a device I own. So I'm stuck playing back video that I've paid for through Quick Time or VLC media player on my Laptop instead of on my 1080p FullHD 55" TV!!!
I know my way around my PC, I've tried all the relevant tips on the Apple site to no avail. I've removed and reinstalled iTunes; no change. I've tried 'repairing' iTunes under add/remove programs in Control Panel; no change.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Sattelite P870.
I'm sick and tired of having to coddle this piece of flaky code to try and make it work. It's rubbish. It has NEVER worked properly under Windows and it seems to be getting WORSE every time it's updated.
I would really like to know if Apple are going to put things right with this program once and for all, or do I drop all my iDevices right now and switch to a Windows tablet and smartphone? I'm 3 generations Apple on my iPhone and 2 on my iPad. This is seriously getting to the point where I will walk away from Apple forever. What good is having the devices if the software that is SUPPOSED to integrate them all has more bugs than a bait store?

You can give feedback directly to the Apple folks if you like. (We're a user-to-user community, so we don't have any control over the bug-fixing process, and there's no guarantee that the relevant Apple folks will see this topic.) Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

For those of you who were frustrated by the fact that Apple doesn't offer support to users who are working on Windows XP 64 bit, don't fear because there IS a workaround.
Prerequisite:
Orca MSI Editor (http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/orca.Msi)
ITunes 9
7-Zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/4.65/7z465-x64.msi/download)
Step 1: Download Itunes 9 from Apple
Step 2: Use 7-Zip to extract all the available .MSI files from the ITunes installer (right click the itunesetup file, EXTRACT ALL)
Step 3: Right click ITunes 64.msi > edit with Orca > navigate to the launch condition table > change "Version NT64>600" to Version NT64>501" > save the file.
Right click Bonjour64.msi and do the same, save and exit
Right click Applemobiledevicesupport64.msi and do the same to that file
Step 4: Install Itunes first, Bonjour 2nd then the AppleMobileDeviceSupport msi (there will be several prompts asking about Windows device driver signing, click continue anyway and proceed until the support drivers are ALL installed) file last.
Step 5: Connect your Ipod Touch, Launch ITunes and you should be good to go!

is there a way of using JS to delete the old page number (1,3,32,78) on a combined PDF and inset it with a new page numbers (1,2,3,4) Thank you
Depends. If the page numbers can be located by their location on the page then a script can be written to redact that area, and then add new page numbers in their place (or somewhere else).

How do I get rid of the cloud icon out of my iTunes for Windows!!
Hey, my request is really simple. I own no Apple products anymore and I'm down to using just one Apple product and now I have updated to the latest iTunes which I now regret hecause my podcast list was so much neater and simpler. I can't remove my old podcasts from my view as this cloud thingy has appeared. Can someone help me remove this icon and return to normal please? If it's not possible then I need to know and then I say farewell to Apple and hello to ANYTHING that can manage my podcasts and music without a cloud symbol. Please help.
Well, there is a way to do the similler.
By creating smartplaylist for podcast.
My iTunes language is not English, and for mac. so keyword can be little bit different from yours.
but
make smart play list as
+ 'Media Kind' as 'Podcast'
*if you want specific subscription then +album
*if you want un played list only, then + 'play count' as 0
then you'll see the list just in your computer.
anyway I'm not sure why the **** smart playlist of podcast cannot be shuffle. -
ITunes for Windows 7.0.1.8 bug report
Do Apple employees actually read these forums? Is there some other (e.g. better) way for me to submit substantive iTunes bug reports to them?
I've noticed a bug in iTunes for Windows, spanning both versions 6 and 7. I'm currently using 7.0.1.8 and the bug still manifests there. My iPod is a 60GB photo model, firmware version 1.2.1 (which is the latest available). This bug is reproducible on multiple PCs (by ripping the same CDs to two different iTunes installations on two different PCs), so it is definitely not a misconfiguration
issue or a fouled up OS install or faulty PC hardware.
If a song's artist field contains an ampersand character, then when the song is uploaded to the iPod, that artist entry does not appear at all in the "Artists" menu on the iPod itself. I have this problem with songs by "Korn & The Dust Brothers" and by "Larry Graham & Graham Central Station". Due to this bug, it's not possible to locate these songs by artist using the iPod's UI, even though the songs are indeed present on the iPod and can be accessed by album title.
This bug is extremely obnoxious and needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Apparently the songs I was having trouble with just happened to be flagged (in "Get Info") as belonging to a compilation, and my iPod was set to "Compilations: On".
I've never used the Compilations feature and I didn't understand how it worked. Apparently, any song that belongs to a compilation won't show up under the "Artists" view but will instead show up only under the "Compilations" view on the iPod (if "Compilations: On" is set in the iPod's UI).
The Compilations feature isn't designed or explained very clearly anywhere, so I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been confused by its behavior. Especially since I never manually turned the feature on or manually set any songs I ripped as belonging to any compilations. I hope Apple will do something in future iTunes releases to alleviate that confusion.

I am trying to install Lightroom and I am OK until it asks for a serial number. I purchased Lightroom from B&H and the have entered the seal number on the the B&H invoice. Nothing happens, not all the entry boxes are filled with the serial number that was provided by B&H. I looked for a serial number on and in the box it came in, nada. Need a bit of help here, what can I do?

And that's saying something with the amount of PC dross that's out there...Apple...PLEASE update and give us back the old version of iTunes...
Pull down View > Show Sidebar. This will give you back the same functionality of iTunes 10.x.x.

My iphone was stolen how do i get the iphone blocked with the IMEI number
how to get an iphone locked with the imei number?
Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country. In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers. All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?
If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service
Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you. -
I am frustrated with the Bookmarks. I want so much to be able to right click and alphabetize the list. It's been a year and I can get my mind around the process that's there. Also I'd love for those pesky little icons to disappear. Help me please.
After the release of Firefox 29, several people noticed that after using the Customize feature, most items on the right-click menu for the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar became ''grayed out'' and unusable until you closed and started Firefox back up again. That seems to still be a problem for me in Firefox 36.0.4, so if you used Customize, that could be the explanation.
You still should be able to click and drag bookmarks around the menu even with the broken right-click context menu.
And if it's easier than restarting, the context menu still works in the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+b to open/close) and Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks"). -
I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13
I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.
