When will apple debug itunes 8?

itunes 7.x worked great, foolishly I "upgraded" to itunes 8, and now itunes will not even open. Looking at the boards this is not unique, so why won't apple give access to early versions.
An another thing, why does it have to be so hard to copy my own ripped CDs to more than one computer????
Windows Media Player is looking better all the time......

Help! I "upgraded" to version 8 when prompted. My music is stored on an external hard drive. Now my computer shows less than 10% of music is now available (back on the internal drive and these few files are deleted from the external hard drive!). When I go into Edit/Preferences/Advanced and change back the folder location (that the "upgrade" V8 install automatically changed), iTunes will not recognize any of the music files on the external hard drive. I am able to find and play the files (not via iTunes) on the external hard drive so I know they are not lost.
How do I get the changed files back to the external hard drive that were moved during the upgrade and get iTunes to recognize those files stored on the external hard drive?

  • When will Apple fix ITunes to work with Windows 7 (64)?

    After many attempts, iTunes (10.5.1) can not synchronized with iPod . If I import musics or create a personal folder, all info will disappear after I close and re-open later iTunes. However works perfectly under Windows XP.  It looks like an incompatibility problem between these two... When will Apple stop denying this and fix the problem?  Two other friends have Windows 7 and they experience the same problem! All programs (iTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour were uninstalled and all folders removed from the computer. Even regestries were cleaned up!....Re-installed twice but iTunes still not function normally as far as synch features.

    I don't know about iPod, but I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and other than a current problem accessing the iTunes store, it seems to work OK. I can sync my iPhone fine. Do you have a conflict with another software package you are running, like an anti-virus or firewall? It might not be, but in troubleshooting sync problems with my PC and iPhone previously, I found that I had a conflict with a firewall. The firewall has since been updated and is behaving nicely with iTunes now, but they can sometimes be a problem. Anyways, I hope this helps, but thought I'd mention that my Win7 x64 and iTunes 10.5.1 seems to sync OK in case it helps you to look for other causes to the problem.

  • When will Apple fix iTunes patch 11.1.4 for Windows?

    More a post for any Apple admin who see this: Clearly your latest iTunes update has problems. How soon can we expect this problem to be fixed?

    You don't need to open iTunes to back up the library. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and look in the further information area for backup advice.

  • Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

    I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
    This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
    What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

  • When will apple will allow Malaysian to buy music from itunes?

    I feel a bit dissappointed when I cant purchase musics from itunes. when will apple reached Malaysia?

    Thanks for your reply King-Penguin.  I can understand the copyright laws etc for music & even movies etc.  I would certainly also like to have access to these but there is also a lot of software in the iStore that we in South Africa are restricted from downloading.  The U.S. iStore has many software titles that the South African iStore does not have.  I have not checked the U.K. iStore yet, do you experience similar restrictions?
    We pay a lot more for the Apple products than for similar products of other brands & it seems really unfair in light of these restrictions.  We don't even have a Gaming section in the South African iStore for example.  Every time I purchase another Apple product I just get this feeling that we are getting ripped off a little because we aren't getting the same value out of the devices we buy.  I know I'm not alone when I say this really deserves to have been sorted out by now.  It's been like this for years already.  

  • When will apple sort out the scrolling issues on iOS versions of iTunes and the App Store?

    When will apple sort out the scrolling issues on iOS versions of iTunes and the App Store?
    It seems impossible to get the horizontal scrolling to work smoothly and in a way that doesn't result in some albums/apps in the row being skipped.

    Working fine for me. Have tried resetting or restoring?

  • When will Apple fix the iTunes update msvcr80.dll issue?

    Just for the records, my Windows iTunes has become unusable, too. The buggy update 11.4.1 ist still offered to my other windows installations. At least, it should be immediately pulled back.
    When will Apple deliever an automated bugfix to this update-mess? I do not intend to de-install and reinstall all my Apple-programs on my Windows machine (in fact, I don't use iTunes on Windows  anymore, my Macs run flawless and there I have the actual database). Apple: you broke it. You fix it.
    So far, no official Apple statement to this problem?  (Monday, 27.1. 2014 10:15 MET)

    These are user to user support forums.  There is no logical reason to expect a response from Apple here.  Frankly Apple rarely releases statements, only software updates.

  • TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

  • Nvidia 7900 GFX card now out!!  When will Apple offer it???

    Nvidia 7900 GFX card now out!! When will Apple offer it???
    Hoping to get one and run Aperture with it sooner rather then wait months like usuall. PC users always get to use it before us
    Where can a person order the 7800 from anyway??? Anyone know?

    This would be more of an Apple request than Nvida idea. Apple have certain G5 customers to keep sweet (specificially ME!) who want to trade-up. NVida is not going to decide to offer a specific 7900/7600 card for such a low demand. So its Apples decision, i guess, to make the request, set engineering specs and prices. NVida might just want to charge a steep premium to customise the card bios, debug and then test it. Apple really need to put effort into this for our sake.
    All this may be irrelevant IF there is a contract between Apple and NVida that states nVida supply 'latest and greatest' video cards no matter what technology nvida is using. Who knows.
    What is worrying is we are such a small quantity of (dual-core) users who need a card upgrade that some toad may think it not worthwhile. Time will tell, but Joe Scherr's (sp?) comment on the 'dual 6600' thread is encouraging.

  • When will Apple stop binding their clients with wasted memory and space?

    There are many like myself that will never use some of the built-in apps yet they persist all The same.
    With no legal means of removal through iTunes, these apps degrade the product.
    When will Apple create the option many of their clients want and allow these superfluous apps to be removed?

    Until if/when Apple announce something nobody on here will know, and speculation about Apple and their policies isn't allowed here

  • When will apple begin to use non us banks for apple pay?

    when will apple begin to use non us banks for apple pay?

    Apple have not announced any dates for non-US rollout of Apple Pay as yet. They have to negotiate agreements with local banks and local branches of credit card companies in multiple countries, ensure they are in compliance with local laws and many other things before this can happen. It is going to take months at the very least I'd guess before you will see it even in major EU countries and longer for places like Asia and the Middle East. It will probably be rolled out in stages over the next year or two (or more) until most of the world has Apple Pay available.
    It took 2+ years after its US debut for iTunes Music Store to spread to many other nations, and the video store was about 12-18 months plus as I recall. Apple Pay probably makes those negotiations look simple in comparison.
