Songs lost with Vista . . .HELP!!

Okay, so I reluctantly and stupidly "upgraded" to Vista. After 3 hours on the phone with Gateway support I got iTunes, and many other programs, working. However, iTunes now only contains songs that I had on my computer before loading iTunes. Everything I have ripped or bought since installing iTunes is gone. I got some pop up somewhere along the way saying that I didn't have permission to load something, but that's it. I am missing hundreds, maybe thousands, of songs!! They have to be SOMEWHERE!
Any help would be VERY much appreciated! I can't be the only one to whom this has happened. God, I wish I would have bought a Mac! Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas!!

Windows...... should be illegal.
Try restoring your system to a previous state (around a time when you didn't have these problems yet)

    Post relates to: Zire 72

    I have sat here for 4 days reading and installing everything I was told to install to be able to sync with my palm.  I am not smart about bluetooth or wi-fi. Geek squad came out and set up my wi-fi in my office. Can someone tell me or give me the A B C's of getting this thing to sync. I don't like the new phones that have everything on it. I love my palm because IT WAS SIMPLE TO USE AND SYNC.  As bad as the economy is I hate to have just wasted $300.00 on a palm that I cannot get to work. .  I have wasted alot of time reading and calling and installing and it still doesn't work. After about 8 hours today I got the desktop to download. No wonder palm is going under.  Help me please !!!!!!!

  • Cannot transfer videos from iPhone 4s to PC with Vista--HELP!!

    Have valuable videos of my Dad (his health is declining rapidly) on my iPhone 4s. I want to download them to my PC, which uses Vista. This has been incredibly difficult. I used the most updated version of QuickTime, with no luck. The videos will transfer, but I cannot open them. Would purchasing QuickTime Pro help, or is this a waste of money? I have so many videos on my phone that I can't back it up. Need to transfer them ASAP.

    Hello, OcnBrez.
    I know how important these are to you and will do my best to help.  The first question I have is how are you importing these videos?  Any error messages received when attempting to play these videos?  Video importing does require Quicktime 7.6.2 or later.  Below, I have listed the article on how to import your photos.  I have also included the download link for the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

    QuickTime 7.7.3 for Windows

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.
    Peace...

  • Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified

    Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
    I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone.  Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

    You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:
    iPhone
    It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than  just "G4" will get you help faster.

    Hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone come forward with any advice on fixing the problem?

  • HELP!  I subscribed to imatch on my mac so that I could access the songs anywhere with my iphone.  However since I live in a rural community I would like to make playlists that always stay on my phone in case I don't have service.  Not sure how.

    HELP!  I subscribed to imatch on my mac so that I could access the songs anywhere with my iphone.  However since I live in a rural community I would like to make playlists that always stay on my phone in case I don't have service.  Not sure how.

    I have the same issue.  While I am sure your solution would work, my playlist has over 6,000 songs and hiting every song to download it is not very practical.  Is there another way?
    I am looking to have a subset of my music physically on my phone so that I can play it without internet access, but have access to the entire library when I do have internet access. 

  • HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista black screen - need help please!

    I have an HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista.  Yesterday it was working fine and today we have the black screen that reads: 
    Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
    Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc.
    BIOS ROM checksum error
    Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
    Found CDROM, try to boot from it...Fail

    I am not a techie, but looked at online forums and have tried f10 at startup with no change to the screen other than it stops after the first four lines and does not try the floppy drive.  I also pulled out the round battery, waited and then reintstalled.  Same problem.  
    Also, computer emits a single, repeating beep after startup.
    HELP!

    I saw your post and wanted to comment. I'm not an expert on these types of situations but did some digging around and found the following at Tips4PC.com.... read below
    "There are two types of computer black screens that can appear in Windows. One where the computer will not boot up but you have a beep sequence sounding to let you know what the problem could be, and the other has nothing at all. No beeps, no cursor, no logo screen, and no choice to boot to safe mode or access the bios.
    If your computer will not boot up and you get a beep sequence, I am not saying it is good news, however it is a step in the right direction towards solving this problem. This is a message from your computer that can be understood by looking up your bios (the brand) beep code. For example you may have an Award Bios, Ami Bios, Phoenix BIOS, Compaq, Dell, or Acer Bios. This list goes on and on.  You can search for Bios beep codes in Google. Here is an example of results in Google search"
    Link
    Also  I went into the Troubleshooting Guide for the A6000  and found the following information.  You need to use F11 for recovery. See below
    Starting System Recovery from system startup
    1
    Turn off the computer. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the computer
    turns off.
    2
    Remove the HP Personal Media Drive if your computer includes one. Disconnect all
    peripheral devices from the computer except the monitor, the keyboard, and the
    mouse.
    3
    Press the On button to turn on the computer.
    4
    During the startup, do the following to enter the Recovery Manager program:
    When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F11 key on the
    keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F11 key before the normal
    startup process continues.)
    5
    The computer starts the Recovery Manager program; wait for the onscreen instructions
    to display, and then follow those instructions.
    6
    Complete the computer startup, finish the registration process, and wait until you see
    the desktop. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on
    the computer.

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?
