Upgrade issue - MicroSoft error!  Afraid to uninstall and lose music!

Okay friends, I went for the upgrade to 7.0 and now I'm getting MicroSoft errors - "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I'm about to uninstall and then reinstall an older version of iTunes. Silly question here - but - if I uninstall, will I lose all of my music?

To be on the safe side, go to the folder where your music is stored, copy all of it to a folder outside of the iTunes folders and then uninstall/reinstall to your heart's content

  • Upgrade issues making me want to uninstall and just keep original....anyone else that frustrated?

    Ok, I upgraded yesterday.
    i am NOT happy
    I never had an error with the original and have had more than one error each time I tried to us LR today.
    I see there are a whole lot of posts about errors... so many I can not even read and digest all of it.
    Anyone else considering just dumping it until the bugs are worked out?

    After updating to 1.1, LR will not even open.

  • Lightroom 4.4 to Photoshop CS6,  "Error: 1, please uninstall and install application again"

    Dear all, I have a Problem to open some Files in Lightroom with the dialog "editing with Photoshop CS6". If I will do this with a RAW File, and Photoshop is not open I becomes the error Message "Error: 1, please uninstall and install application again".
    If Photoshop open it works?! But when I will open any JPEG, TIFF or PSD File I have always this error message!
    I have this Problem on my iMac after installation a SSD and create a Fusion Drive. MAC OS Version 1.8.3.
    My attempt at a solution:
    Uninstall and reinstall Lightroom 4.4. and delete the preferences "http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/recover-catalog-images-resetting-lightrooms.html#id_90 046"
    Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I use the Creative Cloud Version) and delete the Preferences "http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html"
    Nothing help
    Have someone an Idea?
    My Solution: I found the Problem, the Lightroom Katalog have a Problem. I must create a new one and the Problem was solved.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Windows error: iTunes crashes (uninstall and reinstall does not work)

    Hello all.
    I (and another user) have had a problem with iTunes crashing when trying to open it. Windows just generates the typical vague error message that explains nothing as to what the problem is. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work, and using the "Repair" option did not work either.
    This was the solution. Hope it works for you. Cheers.
    C ;o)
    Here are the steps, some might be redundant, but still follow them to try and get iTunes to work.
    1. *Extremely important* Close the QuickTime launcher in the tray on the right side of your Windows TaskBar (right-click on the blue QuickTime "Q" logo next to where you have the time and date and select "exit".) The QuickTime logo should disappear from the tray.
    2. Go to where your iTunes library folder is, copy it and put it elsewhere on yoour hard-drive. This is where you asked your iTunes to point to and keeps the full repository of the files sync'ed to your iPod. If you don't do this, you will have to re-create the full library of all the music and files you have put into iTunes.
    3. Unistall iTunes and reboot your PC.
    4. Go to c:\Program Files\Quicktime and delete this whole folder.
    5. Go to c:\Windows\System 32 and: delete the Quicktime FOLDER there; then (ii) scroll down and delete all other QuickTime related files (there should be 5-10 of them, I didn't count, some will have a name like QuickTMvr whatever).
    6. Empty Recycle Bin.
    7. Reboot your PC.
    8. Go back to Apple Website and download: iTunes, and (ii) QuickTime installation only (without iTunes).
    9. Install QuickTime FIRST (use newly downloaded version)! Check it works OK by opening it.
    10. Close QuickTime lanucher from tray, as explained above in step 1.
    11. Install iTunes (use the newly downloaded version).
    12. Open iTunes. If it opens fine (clap your hands and say "hurray", and actually I said out loud to my PC, "Please work" and it did - I don't know if this step helped at all. ;o) ), then close iTunes FIRST BEFORE DOING THE NEXT STEP. Go to where the new iTunes (and library) folder is, rename the new iTunes folder (as you might notice when/if you open iTunes, that it is all blank), and copy the old iTunes folder (from step 2) to the same location. Re-open iTunes. It should be the way it opened the last time.

    Btw.
    Don't forget that, from my experience, most iTunes errors comes from malfunctioning instances of QuickTime.

  • Petition to upgrade Zen Micro Photo to view pictures and play music at the same t

    As you all are aware the iPod Nano faces off with zen Microphoto. Even though it isn't yet available at Creative.us and after waiting almost a year, I just had to grab one from Best Buy that sold out. I purchased it because of the huge 8GB harddri've, FM stereo receiver (that's how I get to know about new songs) and color photo capabilities. Unfortunately, everytime I try to watch a photo or play a slideshow, the music cuts off without warning and my bright and shiny player isn't a MP3 player anymore.Please, everyone, WRITE CREATIVE via Email and ask them to upgrade the firmware and software to stop turning off the music whenever we play photos. If the iPod Nano can do it... shouldn't the Zen MicroPhoto be able to do it also?Imagine not being able to play your sport team's music while you view your sports picture while you were playing ball. Imagine not hearing your wedding song while you view your wedding photos?Imagine not hearing your graduation song while you look back at your graduation pictures?How very horrible!Please petition Creative to fix this grave injustice please!Thank you ladies and gentlemen!Message Edited by Catherina-CL on 0-7-2005 0:33 PM

    So, what you're saying is the iPod uses superior hardware components because they play images and music at the same time, even in the itty bitty Nano. Also, the iPod is able to "shuffle" photos so that you don't get bored seeing the same photos over and over again as in sequential mode.
    There are a few players that do support music and photos... some will only limit one song per slideshow.
    Furthermore, if you check the Zen Vision manual, creative's newest MP3 multimedia player... it does NOT support photos and music at the same time either.
    In my opionion, it's a software issue, like I said, it displays only one image (background) during music play - if it couldn't, it would have shut off the image too. It's not that they CUT OUT creative features, but that they didn't write the software to allow the ZMP to "play" photos and music at the same time.
    I mean, you can buy a PC for less than a ZMP and it can run several applications showing music and photo and videos at the same time.
    I wouldn't buy the zen micro for nothing... there's just something special about having a color screen. I mean, who buys black & white TV these days?
    With X-fi, I'm restoring my MP3 to higher quality, I'm sure the 8GB will come in handy as these filesize will only increase. And I got it because I'm hearing more and more music on the radio that I want to have... so my collection will only increase. I have over ,200MP3 at 320K which stood at 6.5GB.
    As for you, consider that you're paying an extra $20 for 2 more GB and a 256K color display. It's well worth it over a 6GB monochrome MP3 player.

  • Itunes has stopped working error I have uninstalled and reinstalled now what

    Itunes has stopped working error.  I have unistalled and reinstalled and this is the first error ever with my ipod/itunes.  How can I fix it?

    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.

  • Upgrade issue with errors

    I recently tried to upgrade my Ipad OS from version 4.3.5 to 5.0.1.  I have the most recent version of iTunes, 10.5.2, and my PC is up-to-date with the Windows XP service pack 3.  It began by backing up the content onto iTunes.  After that it gave me a message saying that the update of the system would erase all data on my iPad.  I figured I was covered as I just backed it up so I clicked ok.  It began updating then after a while it can to a halt with an error message.
    As of right now iTunes does not ackowledge the iPad.  When I boot up the iPad all I get is the dreaded iTunes connector image.  I am at an impasse here; for the live of me I can not figure out how to proceed.  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Markus
    Thanks for your quick answer
    Indeed I have checked this logs and I had only one entry for a table
    But I don't undersdand why I have all the error regarding support packages (around 100)

    Cheers

  • Having IDVD issues.  How do I uninstall and reinstall IDVD only?

    Hello
    I am trying burn a dvd, and I am having all kinds if idvd issues, possibly stemming from a cloning process I used after replacing my original hard drive on my Mac Book Pro, not exactly sure.
    Anyway, I would like to reinstall idvd only, but not sure how to do this. Also, do I need to uninstall it first? If so , how do I do that?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    If you are having iDVD issues, you really should post in one of the iDVD forums. It's where the iDVD users hang out at.
    To custom install an app, boot from your System DVD #1, the one that originally came w/your computer.
    Look for the *Bundled Software* folder. If iDVD is not there, then search the Application folder.
    Follow the onscreen instructions for custom installations.

  • IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

    I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine.  The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone.  I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
    Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
    Many thanks.

    Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
    - if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
    - BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
    So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

    I think that's a hidden folder.
    Two ways of making it visible:
    Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab > Select Show hidden folders.
    Just type in c:\ProgramData\Desktop in the commandbar on top of explorer. This should show the contents of the folder.

  • Whenever I open itunes (not try and sync), I get a duplicate file name was specified error.  It also gives me the same error when I try and download music, saying it cant.  I just downloaded itunes so not much could have gone wrong so far.

    Before you ask, i tried going through the third-party add-on document and opening it up in safemode did not fix it.  Also, I am running it as administrator and that is not helping either.

    I DID IT! I FIXED IT, FINALLY!!! At least it worked for me. Here's what I did: from Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features/Uninstall or Change Program, I right-clicked on iTunes and selected Repair. After that ran and completed, I went to Computer/Local Disk (C:)/Program Files. From the list, I right-clicked on iTunes and selected “Run as Administrator.” After that I tried to purchase music from iTunes, and it worked! I hope this makes sense and works for you. Good luck!
