Why has my itunes software become incompatible?

In the past year, my itunes application has become incompatible with my Windows 7 software. When initiated, it reduces the display density setings on my laptop, and only returns to normal after closing itunes.
Please bear in mind, i do not understand anything too Techy, so please respond in simple language.

Hi chilledphil999,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It's possible that the issue you're seeing is being caused by iTunes running in "compatibility mode."
See this article for step-by-step instructions on turning off compatibility mode:

Why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

I'm not sure that I fully understand 'tethering' other than linking to a 'master'. Nor do I quite know how to answer what I was doing when connecting--I have been trying to connect for some 8 hours now, trying multiple ways around the problem. I guess my main problem is I don't actually understand the technical action underpinning a connection. So I try narrowing down the options and then restoring each action.
I have been trying to work out where the network failure exists--in my laptop or in my iphone. I have gone back through apps, and whether these were connected through iTunes or not.
I haven't tried connecting my phone to a printer or an iPod. I only mention them because my lap top is also failing now to pair with my iPod, and I wondered whether the fault is from my laptop's network connection, rather than my iphone's network connection.
My laptop wireless connection with my printer has not been disturbed despite the network being unavailable. -- I only mentioned that as an indication that whatever the 'network' was that was unavailable, it was not the network connecting my laptop and printer.
I am grateful for your interest.

Why has my iTunes app frozen? The screen has been unresponsive for several days now.

Why has my iTunes app frozen?
To begin with I thought it was restrictions on the country I was visiting but since retraining home it has not recovered.
The app opens and the screen is animated, but there is no response to my touch on any part of the screen.

Why has my iCloud id become my old email address from years ago. My apple id is my current one. How can I change my icloud one so it is the same?

My mum's iCloud username is coming up as her old email address frok years ago. She can't sign in as can't remember the password for it And has no access to the email address. I updated successfully her iTunes/Apple id years ago & is still up and running. How do I get rid of this iCloud id and make it her recent email. I'm confused why this has happened in the 1st place

With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad. If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there. If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why has my iTunes gone back in time?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the right answer.
I loaded up my iTunes (windows Vista) that I have had for over 3 years. No new updates on iTunes or the PC and yet once it was open it was like it went back in time and loaded up all my songs, TV programs, films etc from about 2.5 years ago! Stuff that is not even on my PC (that I know of) anymore!
All new songs etc are not on iTunes at all. Very odd. I wont sync my iPhone now incase I lose all the newer stuff.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks

change your display settings.
control panel->adjust screen resolution->highest(32bit)

Why has my iTunes gift card suddenly stopped working?

I received a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday in November and I reddemed it on my iPod touch. I had purchased a film for £6 shortly after Christmas using it and then I decided to wait for the new Disney film Frozen to come out so that I could use the remaining money on it to buy it. However, when it came out at the end of March, I tried buying it but then I saw that the gift card had been taken off my account. Usually it showed that I still had it in the iTunes store at the 'Redeem' section but it didn't have any signs of ever being there. I tried re-redeeming it but it just said that that gift card had already been redeemed.
The only purchase since I reddemed at first was that film I mentioned earlier. I understand that gift cards only expire 2 years after they have been activated so I have no idea what has happened. It's a great pity to lose all the money that was still on it and I really wanted to get that film!
Could someone please help me understand what is going on and if I can still get it to work again???!!!!!

Hi Ncsimac,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iMac is not recognizing an ethernet connection. What is it connecting to? I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Why does the iTunes cache become so big?

My computer keeps on running out of space on the hard disc. I finally figured out that it is from the iTunes cache folder being more than 200gbs! Why??? I deleted it and got everything working again. Just out of curiousity I checked again a couple days later and it was already at more than 50gbs. I run all of my movies and tv shows off of iCloud so that I don't run out of room. Is there a way I can fix this from constantly happening.

Why has my Mac mini become so slow?

I realise this sounds like the oldest newbie question in the book, and could be down to any of a hundred things, but I'll try and explain as clearly as possible. (I've been using Windows for 15+ years, Macs for the last 2+, and I always associated Windows with this kind of gradually increasing lethargy.)
In a word, it comes down to lag. Every operation which used to be instant when the Mac was new, now has a delay of anything from half a second to over 10 seconds. It feels like walking in mud. And it's always the first time I do something I haven't done for a few minutes -- if I repeat the same operation immediately afterwards, it's instant. Long delays are often (but not always) accompanied by the beachball -- which I see *a lot*.
What sort of operations? Well, dropping down a menu, for example. Or changing volume. (Using the keyboard or Apple remote.) Or switching between open apps. It's not unusual for me to wait over 10 seconds for the computer to respond, for something as simple as a volume change. If I repeat it, it's instant. But if I wait a few minutes, or switch to a different app, the lag's there again.
The mini is 2 years old. It's a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 512MB RAM, with wireless keyboard and mouse. About 2 months ago, I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, using the Archive & Erase method. It's permanently connected to an external 1TB firewire drive. I have MenuMeters installed, which rarely shows over 10% usage per CPU, including during the slowdowns. (If I'm ripping a DVD with Handbrake, it goes to 100%, so I'm not surprised if it's slightly unresponsive then.) In trying to speed things up, I've set MenuMeters to only display CPU, updating every 3 seconds, but it hasn't made a difference. I don't have a lot else installed on the mini -- it's mainly a media player. During a typical day it runs Firefox, Quicktime with Perian, DVD Player, Front Row, and iTunes. (iTunes is so sluggish I avoid using it when I can.) The only memory resident apps are Vine Server and Audioscrobbler.
Does this sound familiar? Any suggestions? I'll supply a System Profile file if that'll help.

Unlike most Windows PCs, Macs have always seemed to be a little fussy about RAM, so in the broadest sense, the answer to your question whether you can use any brand of RAM (compatible specs of course), is that no, you can't. Nor is it always possible to say what brands are suitable and which are not. Better, really, to buy RAM for Macs from suppliers who have a history of Mac support (thus are aware of compatibility issues) and who offer a lifetime, no quibble, warranty, such that if the RAM doesn't work, or fails in service later, it can be swapped out without any hassle or additional cost. Crucial.com (the link I provided previously) is one such.
As far as fitting it, it is always better to have an approved service provider do it in that if there are any problems, they can be held accountable, and if there is any warranty cover, they will not risk voiding it. Each will charge a different amount for this kind of work however, so it's worth shopping around for prices for upgrading RAM - including the cost of the service provider also providing the RAM, since some can source compatible modules at wholesale.

Why has my Itunes Library been erased/deleted twice now?

I am fairly new to Itunes and have lost my library twice now. I have loaded many cds and have successfully copied to my ipod, but then a couple of weeks later when I open Itunes, all my songs are gone, even the playlists I created no longer appear. This has happened to me again today for the 2nd time. Any suggestions?

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Hi Ann,
If you are receiving an error when trying to download iTunes, take a look at the article below. It will have you check for additional software update that are specific to your computer as well as downloading the iTunes installer directly from Apple’s website.
