Using iTunes 7 for Windows...and my computer crashes...

I downloaded iTunes 7 for PC, using Windows, and I have two issues, one minor and one major:
1) I can leave iTunes open and running on my computer, but when I start playing songs, after a few minutes my computer crashes to a blue screen...any help?
2) Also, after installing iTunes 7, my desktop icon is not the actual iTunes icon, it just shows up as a generic image icon...any help on this?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

ryen531,
Since iTunes is showing the generic icon one the desktop, the install probably did not complete successfully.
I would recomend uninstalling iTunes, and reinstalling it.
This article has steps for removing iTunes, then download a the installer again, saving the file to the desktop, and then install it.

I am Using Itunes For Windows and have my entire music library synced on the laptop. When i tried upgrading to the new version i am getting a system error "MSVCR80.dll file missing". My itunes refuses to open.I have many playlists and songs which i want

1. how Do I solve this issue.
2. How do I ensure that i do not lose my playlists along with the songs.
3. What is the procedure needed to be followed.

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

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.

first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
Thank you!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

With iTunes 11 on PCs the drop-down menus are hidden by default - control-B should get the menus to show
This screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC :

TS3642 It is really unacceptable that I cannot transfer my garageband format songs from iPad to iTunes for windows and then add them to my new iPad. Any ideas?

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3642 tells me that this is not possible because garageband format songs are saved as folders.
I just want to transfer songs from one iPad to another. Why does Apple make things so hard?

Perhaps turingtest2's fix works for you to transfer your project to iTunes for Windows, see:
Re: Import a proyect from garage band to ipad
But if you want to transfer between two iPads, you could use iCloud to transfer directly between the devices, if the iPads support iCloud and you are using the same Apple ID on both iPads.
If you save the project (or better a duplicate of the project) to iCloud, you will be able to import it on the second iPad from the cloud.

HT1273 Steaming photos to Apple itv using itunes for windows 7

I have just purchased an Apple Itv and can't find the option within itunes to select my photo directory for streaming. I am using windows 7 and the latest version of itunes for widows 7. I can't find in itunes the option to select the location of my photo directory as specified in the help. The help tells me to select file -> home sharing this function does not exist in the latest version of itunes for windows 7.

I have the home sharing setup and can play the music on my Windows 7 PC within itunes via the Apple TV (Gen 2). The problem I am having is how to specific the location of my photos to itunes so I can stream these via the Apple TV.
The apple help guide says once home sharing is enable to stream photos selecr file -> home sharing -> choose photos to share with Apple TV. However this in note there and the only option presented is option to turn off home sharing.

How to use itunes for windows server 2003

how to install itunes for windows server 2003

Purchased music from the iTUnes store is in a "AAC protected" format. It can only be used in iTUnes. Any music you buy online these days will have some protection on it where you can only use it in there program.
The way around this is to burn the purchased songs to a CD in iTUnes. Then goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and set your import settings to something like MP3.
Now put the burned CD back in the PC and "Re"import it into iTunes so its imported in a MP3 format so you can use it in any program. Before importing it tho you need to manually add the name of the song, artist album ect ect

I recently updated to latest version of ITunes for Windows and now takes 2 - 3 minutes to open and does not see my Iphone? Any suggestions?

I recently updated my ITines software to version10 and since the update it doesn't recognise my Iphone/ It also takes 2 - 3 minutes from clicking the icon to firing up the software.
Is anyone else having this problem and how was it resolved?
Thanks

Actually, Chris, I found that page yesterday on my own doing a search, before I wrote my post. After your instructions didn't work, I found that page and tried deleting the iAdcore.dll and that did not work. When I tried to open it said it didn't have the iAdcore and could not be opened. There was no QTMovieWin there to delete. I again uninstalled everything in the order listed on this new page, because there were 7 things to uninstall (not 5 as your last page suggested). I found that I had iCloud so that was deleted in the proper order. Did not have MobileMe on the computer. Also deleted Apple Application support, which wasn't on your list either. I restarted the computer. I looked for any files on drive C program files as indicated, and did not find any of those files. I went to the iTunes page and downloaded the latest version yet again (maybe the 5th time?). And I got the same notice:
"The iTunes Library.itl cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the music folder."
I went to that iTunes folder in the music folder there are a number of iTunes library folders and none of the open except one. The ones that don't open give me the same dialogue box as above. The last folder opens to a page of codes, I guess that's what it is. Gobbeldy gook to me. But that folder is listed at the top in the URL as itTunes Library.xml. I don't see any .itl. Is that the folder I need? And how do I get that??
I don't know if that last paragraph is significant, but I thought I'd include just in case it is.
BTW, can I just download an older version of iTunes? And how can I find it? I still have the old version on my old computer which is at home. Not sure how to get it from that to this one.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Perhaps there is someone else who could help if you can't figure it out.

Idownloaded the latest itunes for windows and it just does not sync and every time I connect the iPhone 5 the agreement comes up first. Help please.

I have had nothing but trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 with iTunes. I have installed the latest version of each and worked with support but no solution. Currently when I connect the iPhone the Terms and conditions appear every time, I agree and sometimes there is a sync and sometimes not. It also tells me I have 5 conflicts but looking at Outlook and the phone there is no conflict. If you tell the system to correct the conflicts it gives a message it cannot access the conflict server. I am running Windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated

Make sure you have your data backed up, then reset sync services per the instructions below.
OS X: Resetting Sync Services
This should take care of the iTunes issue.

Merging Itunes folders pre and post computer crash

I need to figure out how to merge my itunes folder pre-hard drive crash (i was able to retrieve my itunes folder) and post hard drive crash, then I need to put the merged file on my external hard drive or on my mac. Itunes is currently taking of 1/2 of the hard drive space on my pc (40 GB), so it needs to be moved.
