Windows 7 Disatster - lost iTunes and Applications
Evening all,
I have done something really stupid. I installed Windows 7 onto our desktop computer and of course it wiped everything clean. Good news, I did back up my music, photos, and other files onto an external drive. Bad news, lost the library information and I have been trying to get other information back slowly. With help from discussion members my library has been salvaged. Thanks
Now my new question,
When Synching my iPod touch, I have the manual setting on because I don't want iTunes to completely re-write my touch (that is the prompt that I get when I click the manual option off, so I cancel). According to my new desktop iTunes, I have 44 paid applications, but there are currently 80 paid applications on my iPod touch (some of them were major purchases).
I would like to somehow get the applications onto my computer since several applications have personal information that I don't want to lose (exercise routines, calories for meals, banking information, high scores, etc...).
When I go to Transfer my purchases in iTunes from the Ipod or iTunes, the sync starts to save/sync but quits after about 8 second. Nothing transfers. Am I missing a step or a setting?
Failing this, how do I get my paid applications back from the iTunes store, if I let iTunes completely re-write my Ipod touch. I have found that the instructions need to be very simple because I am the type of person who wipes their computer clean with an OS install.
Thanks for the help

PS. I also can't get my touch to show up as an addtional hard drive on my computer. Is this a concern?
Unlike music and movies applications can be re-downloaded so you won't have to pay twice.

After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?
After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?
apps are stored in
C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
their extensions are .Ipa you can try doing a search on your harddisk
unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems -

i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
thanks
johnCheck the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

Hy i'm an italian user and i've a question. if i lost itunes and i must reinstall it i will lose all my apps and music??
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You'll keep your purchased music and apps. Also, if iTunes was damaged, maybe the iTunes library is in your Music folder will all your data -
My MacPro says the startup disk is too full. I have 4 internal hard drives that have 2T each so there is plenty of space, but all start up programs, libraries, iTunes and application folder are on the '1st' hard drive. Can I move any to 2nd drive?
Your system will likely fit just fine on a small fast 250GB SSD
What you have is lots of stuff that should not be on the boot drive, data and graphics or media files and libraries that should be moved to another drive.
If you are getting a message like this, STOP, off load files, make room, and make sure to have 15% free or more.
Do not try to move anything from system and its library and sub folders. Move your home user account and just leave the essential home library but move all the rest.
A full drive can have trouble finding free space segments and writing out updates to files and to the directory. And loss of directory means loss of where files are located and their segments. -
Since downloading Spotify app (trial for 1 month), i seem to have lost itunes from my dock, including my music. How do i bring it & all my music back. the last time i saved it to my hard drive was 3 months ago.
If you start iTunes from Launchpad or Applications. It will Show the icon on the desktop. Right mouse click select Options and Keep in Dock.
When you say your music has dissapeared is it removed from your hard drive?
username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music is the path to my music on the local hard drive?
If it is missing from itunes then redrag the Music folder back into iTunes and your music should reappear.
Or did you mean something else? -
Hi,
I just try to install the setup download from apple website for iTune and iCloud.
During the installation, there was error message prompt out "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I am using Window 7 32 bit. I have try several time for install, but the result is getting same error message.
Anyone can help on this??????
Thanks.
JustinI have also tried extracting the individual components to the temp file and attempting to install them individually despite being unable to remove the previous install of Apple Software Updater. The outcome, both Apple Software Updater and itunes encountered the same error message during the install process.

Lost itunes and apps from trying to restore them on a new phone!
Hi guys!
Lost all my itunes and apps from trying to put all my stuff onto a new iphne but on itunes it said i had to create an account for the newphone and now it has written over all my data fro my previous phone, on mypurchase history all my itunes are there but there is nooptions which can enable me to download themonto my newphone? any help guys?You could try iPhone Backup Extractor to see if it would read the backup. If so, it would allow you to extract some of your data. (If probably won't read it but you could download the trial version first just to see.) If not, then there's nothing you can do.

HT203167 lost itunes and video in library
please reinstate my itunes and videos that are missing from my library
thank youI think I could solve my problem:
The CalibratedSoftware application CalibratedMXFOptions seemed to be switched back to the Demo license (it's not clear why?), which terminated the duration of the imported files to 30 seconds. Re-activating the proper license and using the QuickRefresh for FCP application updated these files and made FCP recognizing the proper duration of the MXF an MP4 files.
That was not enough. I opened a new project, saved it and opened parallel the 'damaged' project.
That was all!
Thanks

I am trying to copy videos from windows folder into iTunes and it will not copy. I have used drag and drop and the folder sopy comand from iTunes. Anybody got an answer?
Hi wayneiii,
If you are having issues adding video files to iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to verify that they are in a format that iTunes can play. You may find the following article helpful:

Trying to download Windows 7 version of ITunes and it is taking a very long time is this normal?*
I have been trying to download Windows 7 version of ITunes to my computer and it seems to be taking a very long time. Is this normal? It has been stuck on 1hr 4mins at 25% for over an hour. Is there an easier way to get Itunes or is this the only way to wait for hours for the download?
It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Did you download directly from Apple:

Windows sees the Shuffle, iTunes and the Updater do not
This is a problem on my computer, but just my computer. I know because I connected it to my fiancee's computer and was able to update it just fine.
I have followed all the steps Here, and even went through and cleaned out the registry and iTunes and the updater still don't see it. I've been getting the "Can't Mount iPod" error in the Updater, and the updater even freezes when I first plug in the Shuffle.
It worked fine on my computer the last time I had used it, which was a couple months ago, but hasn't since. I have reinstalled Windows, up to Service Pack 4, in the meantime. I've seen some mention of that here as a potential problem, but haven't found a solution.This is a problem on my computer, but just my

Windows 7 - Downloaded new itunes and won't open
Just upgraded to the new itunes and every time I click on it, nothing happens. No errors, no issues, just won't open or anything. Even tried uninstalling old versions and now none of them will work?!
Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
Thanks so much for your help,

When trying to download latest version of iTunes, it failed to down load and I got an error message which read
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exc
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the applications support team for more information.
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
Tried reinstall, repair as have done this before this did not work, so I uninstalled iTunes then downloaded latest version only to have this not work either.
I had my ipod attached at the time as I was charging it anf now find I can't turn it off?
What is going on with this.Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
