I get the following message when opening itunes: "the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing" how do I repair? downloading latest virsion of itunes doesn't work

I get the following message when opening itunes: "the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing. Downloading the latest version does no fix the problem

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Hi,
I had this problem. Solution was to move mouse over taskbar icon. When Firefox displays small icon right click this and select maximise window !!! I think somehow Firefox got minimised to the taskbar and would not reopen as a full window. i.e it when you clicked the taskbar icon it would pop up and then pop back down to the taskbar again !!
Hope this helps.

When I open iTunes on my new computer using the .itl file, and using the same external drive holding the songs, all of the songs I added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links, while none of the songs have broken links on the old computer.

I want to open the iTunes library on my new laptop with all the playlists and stuff I built on the old computer. I have all my music on an external drive. I have copied the .itl file from the old computer and opened it on the laptop, and it has all the playlists, but all of the songs that were added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links. What am I doing wrong?

Moving library files around while leaving the data in the same place usually presents no problems. Moving the data around independently from the library usually breaks things. With Windows machines all you should need to do is make sure that the same drive letter is being used on the new system as with the old. If that is not possible you need to get your library into a portable layout before moving it between systems.
Typical layout of iTunes folders:
When the media folder is inside the main iTunes folder as shown above then the library is portable. Typically with a split library the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder (everything inside the red outline) is moved to a different drive by choosing a new locaton for it and then consolidating.
To make the library portable again you need to copy the library files and album artwork folder into the parent folder of the media folder so that the nested relationship is recreated. (BTW If your media isn't already inside your designated media folder then you will also need to consolidate the files that are outside of it, before you copy the library files.) You can then use the hold-down-shift-when-starting-iTunes method to open the library file in that parent folder. Once the library has been opened, tested and closed you are most of the way there.
The iTunes window inherits its title from the folder holding the library files so, unless you created a folder called iTunes to hold the media folder, iTunes may now have an unexpected title when you run it. The parent folder can be renamed as iTunes, and the library opened again. Alternatively, if the parent folder is at the root of the drive, or has other data which you wish to leave in place, you can create a new top level folder called iTunes and move the library files, album artwork and media folders into it before opening and testing the library again.
If the library doesn't work after any step simply reverse it by undoing a move or rename or opening the previous set iTunes Library.itl file.
If all has gone well then the library is now portable. Once you've migrated the data to a new system you can copy the library files back to their usual internal location if you find that having them on the external drive affects performance...

I can open itunes on my new computer but I can't use it...

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me with an irritating problem I have with itunes on my new computer. I'm not american so I hope I can explane it...
I installed itunes and thought it worked fine. I copied a couple of cd´s I wantet to put on my ipod but itunes won't play them. It shows all the songs just fine but when I press play it shows a second of each of the songs I imported but there's no sound. The same happened when I put the songs on my ipod - it only showed the title for a second and then moved on to the next song.
So I can't really use itunes for anything right now - What do I do?
Windows XP

does the time for the songs (in your main library display) show that they are only a few seconds long?
if so, we'd better check on some of the usual suspects with that:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
... and these resources might also be helpful with that:

I have 75Gb in ITunes and a 60Gb Ipod and want to move Itunes to a new PC!

Dear All
Apologies to all if this is an easy question and I am clogging up the forum, but I cant seem to find help anywhere for this scenario!
I have 75Gb in Itunes on an old Win XP Pro PC, and want to move it to my new Win XP Pro PC. However, I only have a 60gb Ipod. How do I move it(other than spending the next 2 weeks burining it to discs!!)?
Thanks for your help and patience in advance!
Regards
Chris

There are a few things you could do, networking the two computers is probably the most straightforward. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows

Can't open itunes created by newer version error

hi can anyone help with this error - can't open itunes as it was created by a newer version

You must have more than one version installed, though only one may be showing in the Dock if you use a Mac. CC now covers three versions, CS6 (8.x), CC (9.x) and CC2014 (10.x).

Do NOT want to open link in a new browser window - iWeb '09

I do not want links that navigate around my website to open a new browser window every time. Right now, for example, From my main page, I click a link to a secondary page, it opens it in a new window, I then click the link back to my main page, and it opens in a new window. I now have 3 windows open.
I am not using the navigation bar as it set ups with iWeb (I have it hidden). I am using hyperlinks I attached to text boxes. Would this problem be remedied if I was using the navigation bar? If so, is there anyway to edit the appearance of the navigation bar and it's location on the page?
Primarily though, I would like my text hyperlinks to just navigate my page and not open in new windows.
Thanks!

And that's the way it should be.
If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

Can't open iTunes after migrating new computer

Can't open iTunes after migrating my old powerbook to my new macbook pro. Get the error message: "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Help!

Did you install the latest version of iTunes on the new PC? The usual reason for this is that you had a newer version on the old PC.
If you can't get it to work the simplest thing to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from the iTunes folder to desktop.
Then start iTunes and use the following link to recreate your library.

Note you already dragged the library files out of the iTunes folder.

Want to open links in a new tab not a new window.

When using a mouse I know I can middle click (wheel) and the web-link I am clicking will open in a new tab. I also know I can drag that link to the + sign on the tab bar and it will open. But while using the Keyboard only, when I want to open a webpage link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?
I noticed while searching in Mozilla Support that hitting any box opens in a new tab ( this is the effect I want) why does this not happen on other webpages?
I may be answering my own question here but could it be the one 'NewsNow' website that is causing my problem?

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window for opening a link.
The browser.link.open_newwindow pref only affects links that specify a target window.
You can use the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to divert links that specify a target to the current tab or a new tab.
The browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref allows to divert (onclick) JavaScript window.open() links.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window).
There are also extensions that have options how a link is opened, so you can check out the Add-ons website.

Problom opening iTunes; .itl file in use?

Hi,
I recently transferred my itunes collection to an external NAS drive, and manually transferred all of the library information files to the same directory. This worked fine for the past week, although saving library data has been a bit slow.
Today when I tried to open itunes, it said the library could not be located. When I directed itunes to the .itf file (last updated earlier today) it says:
"iTunes Library
This file is crrently in use
Enter a new name or close the file that is open in another program"
Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem and get my iTunes running smoothly again??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Paul

Update: I noticed that EVERYTHING in my hd was corrupted, disconnected and reconnected it and it was fine...Sadly my xml files had all been deleted. What course of action should I take in refilling my itunes? All my music, most of my videos and such are on my ipod..

I want to open "Paragraph Style Options" dialogue using Script(jsx)

Hi,
I have created a paragraph style using JSX.
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myParagraphStyle");
Now I want to edit my paragraph style using the "Paragraph Style Options" window. How can I open the window for myParagraphStyle using JSX?
Is there any way to do it? I don't want to manually double click the name in the list to open it.

@kapoor_aman27 – with a little trick we could select a distinct paragraph style in the Paragraphs Style panel.
Add a new text frame to the document, add some contents, one character is sufficient. Format its contents with your paragraph style. Set the Paragraph Styles panel to visible. Select the text in the text frame with something like that: app.select(myTextFrame.texts[0]). Remove the text frame; the paragraph style stays selected in the panel.
The next step would be to invoke the "Paragraph Style Options" panel. The id for the appropriate scriptMenuAction is 8481.
try{
app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(8481).invoke();
}catch(e){$.writeln(e.message)};
But unfortunately this would throw an error. Something like this:
(Error message in German:)
"Mit der angeforderten Aktion wurde ein asynchrones, modales Dialogfeld geöffnet,
für das eine Vorschau erstellt werden kann.
Dies ist nicht mit der Skriptarchitektur kompatibel, daher wurde das Dialogfeld
mit der Standardschaltfläche automatisch verworfen."
(Roughly translated to English:)
"An asynchronous, modal dialog box was opened by this action.
A preview can be created with that dialog box.
This is not compatible with the scripting architecture, therefore the dialog box
with the standard button was automatically rejected."
So I see no chance to do what you want.
(Tested with inDesign CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.6.8)
Don't know, if that behavior has changed for more recent versions of inDesign…

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.
