Where is "file" button in itunes? Windows 8

I'm trying to burn a voice memo onto cd. When I'm in itunes and insert disc, a window pops up: "You've inserted blank cd, blah...blah...blah, click on "file", then click "burn to disc". Where is the file button?? (itunes Windows 8)

That probably means click on File on the iTunes menu bar, not a "button." Windows has options to show or not show the complete menu bar at the top of the window, so if you do not see the File menu, set it to show the complete menu bar.

Where is file button in itunes 11?

I am trying to import playlists from one PC to another. It was easy to export to a USB stick but the instruction from Apple about importing is incorrect. It says, File, Library, Import Playlist but that structure does not exist in itunes 11.

You might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Once you've got the File menu there, you'll find the Library > Import Playlist entry as per the following screenshot:

Where is the File sharing in Itunes window?

Normally set in iTunes->Preferences->Sharing. However, with the paucity of details, such as computer, OS, iTunes version, and what you're trying to do, just a WAG.

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12?

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12? I used to click on the iPhone or iPad device, then select the 'apps' tab and then file sharing apps like VLC would show at the bottom. Now clicking on the device doesn't do anything.

OK, I found it. In the upper left under the menu bar are some icons. Click on the iPhone icon, then select your device, iPad, iPhone, whatever. In the far left column that appears under your device, select apps. Then you'll see apps to the right of that column. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the file sharing apps.

Error writing to file when updating Itunes Windows 7

Error message: C\Program files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources\clientdescription.plist MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
HELP!!!

I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? I tend to identify that message with Kaspersky interfering with the install.
If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Any better luck with the security software shut down?

Where is File Sharing in iTunes?

Have not been able to find an answer for this. I transferred a file from iMovie on the iPod to the computer and it said "Your project will appear in the File Sharing section of iTunes." Cannot find the File Sharing section anywhere on the menu. iMovie on the iPod says the movie was transferred but I can't find it in iTunes. Can't find it using Finder either. I found 3 others who had the same problem but no answer.

It's not in the main menu and not very intuitive, but, get the device you were running iMovie on connected to iTunes so it displays in the "Devices" list.
Select the device so the main panel shows its details.
Click the "Apps" header on the devices details
wait an eternity while it loads
scroll down to the File Sharing section
Click iMovie
You should see your project on the right
iTunes is the slowest app on my computer by the way.<edited by host>

How do I fix the black bars showing up on most of the drodown menus, such as the bookmarks or the orange firefox file button? (running windows 7)

Every time a dropdown menu is opened, black bars cover all the selections. The specific black bar will disappear when the mouse hovers over it but all the rest remain covered. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and removed all personal information such as saved passwords and bookmarks with no success.

hello, try to press ctrl+0 ('zero') while you're on the affected pages in order to reset the zoom level or in case this doesn't work also go through the other common troubleshooting steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

Why does file date show 1970 on files transfered to iTunes app window?

I am finding that files transfered to the apps section in iTunes shows last updated time different from the actual file date on the Mac.
This is happening for both Numbers, Pages and PDF HD . I just did a file sync of a PDF I created and the date in the iTunes window shows 5/27/70 9:00 am (should have been 6/30/10 12:52 pm, the date that is on the original Mac file). Dates vary between 1970 and 1971. There wasn't even a Mac on those dates!!!
Only one PDF has the correct date which is the iPad Manual (downloaded from Apple). All the files that have incorrect dates were PDF files created from my applications (Finale, InDesign, and DVDpedia). I have tested other downloaded PDFs from other sources and they all show 1970's dates on them in the iTunes App window.
This really has no real impact other than being able to determine if the most recently created file is the one on the iPad. Now, I have to delete the current file in the iTunes window and add the file again from the Mac finder to be sure. Not at all a good solution.
Is this an iTunes bug

On older computers there was a PRAM battery that would last only so long then needed changing. If the battery went dead then when the computer started it would default to a the dates you have noted.
iTunes will use the current system date to reflect the 'date added' information.

I sent a project from imovie on my iphone to itunes and it said that it was located in file share on itunes but I cant find it.

where is file share on itunes? please help!!

Photostream will only work with photos newly taken on your iPhone. It will not work with photos already on your iPhone. The idea of Photostream is to allow you to take a photo(s) on your iPhone and a copy will be extended to the Photostream album on the iphone as well as other devices(with Photostream turned on) and your PC (with icloud control panel installed and photostream turned on) so that you can copy those files into your local folder.
If you want to transfer old photos from your iPhone, connect it to your PC and there will be an AUTOPLAY popup window for you to select to import pictures to your local folder.
If the Autoplay window dose not showup, you can go to windows explorer to look for your iPhone and right click to select import pictures:

Change file types in iTunes

Is it possible to change the file types of music files already downloaded in iTunes (aac to mp3)

Hi Wall!
Welcome to the Discussions!
You have a mini-nightmare going on, but nothing that can't be sorted out.
First, if you have any iTunes Music Store purchased music in your iTunes Library, please insure that you have authorized your computer so that you can play it and can load it on the iPod to play it there. These songs show as "Protected AAC audio files" in your iTunes window under the "Kind" heading.
If you loaded/imported the CDs as AACs, they should play in that format and should load into your iPod in that format. I suspect that they won't play or load onto the iPod because iTunes can't find them on your hard drive.
If I were you, I would highlight my Library in the iTunes window, select "Show Duplicates" from the menubar, then sort the files based on "kind" by clicking on the "kind" header on the iTunes window. (If "kind" doesn't show as one of your headers, choose View Options from the menubar and check it so it does appear in the iTunes window.) After sorting by "kind", you should have your duplicate song files grouped together as AACs and MPEG Audio Files (MP3s). I would highlight all of the MP3s that were duplicated by the conversion you did and delete them, thus undoing the conversion and making things a bit simpler to work with. When You're done with this, change the option back to "Show All Songs".
Now, you're left with the AACs that are not linked with iTunes... Unless you deleted them from your drive, they're still there, but iTunes doesn't know where they are. Go to the Advanced Pane of your iTunes Preferences, click on the "General" tab, then check the boxes to "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library". Also note the location listed for your iTunes Music folder while you're there. Click "OK'" and these changes will take effect.
Now, from the iTunes menubar, find and choose "Consolidate Library", which will scour your hard drive for music files and add them to the iTunes Music Folder. Your songs should then be present in the iTunes window. Check to insure that they are, and that they play before proceeding... You may now have duplicates again: the original AACs that weren't linked, as well as the files that were added through the "consolidation" that you just did. If so, you can once again choose to show duplicates in your Library, then sort them based on Date Added, which will separate the old song titles from the new ones. Once you sort them this way, you can then highlight all the old duplicates and delete them. You should be left with a working Library. (Be careful to not mistakenly delete any "Protected AAC audio files" if you have music from the iTunes Music Store.)
There may be an easier way to do this, but I don't know of one without messing around with the files inside the iTunes folder, which I'm very hesitant to do or to recommend to someone else...
Wall, just know that the files you imported from those 600 or so CDs should be somewhere on your drive, even though iTunes has "lost" a link to them. If you keep them in your iTunes folder, you'll know where to look for and find them. The preference settings I referenced a couple of paragraphs above should help to keep them organized there.
You might want to check out the AAC loading/playing before doing any of the above. First, check/change your "General" iTunes preferences as I previously described. Then insure your "Importing" preference is set to AAC. Create a new playlist, load one of the CDs you previously imported, and drag it's icon to the new playlist to add it to the Music folder and Library. Attempt to play the songs from that playlist. They should play just fine. If you want, you can then sort the Library by "Date Added" in the iTunes window and delete the songs from the Library from the CD you just added. If this works for you, then proceed with the consolidation and cleanup as above.

Where is the Show button in the itunes window?

I'm trying to add songs from my library on my laptop to my parents computer. I've already turned on home sharing. But in the helpful tips it says to use the show button at the bottom of the itunes window and I cannot find it.

Welcome to the Apple Community Gophergirl22.
Are you sure you have set up home sharing and not sharing.

HT1751 After "Restoring iTunes Library Backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the correct procedure, and iTunes lists all my music correctly (but with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files. Using Windows 7. Help ple

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.
