How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

Safari window is stretched, getting it back?

I am viewing at 1680x1050 and I clicked the green button up top and my Safari window stretched pretty much full screen. Whenever I click it, it just gets a bit shorter or a bit longer. How do I get it back to the more narrow view it was on before? Thnaks

Hello. Can you drag the Safari window into its previous size with your mouse?, it should stay there.

New hard drive and now can't get library back!

Hi,
My hard drive recently crashed and I did not have a backup (I know, I know!). Anyway, new hard drive installed and some of my files were saved including some music files. However, when I try to add them to iTunes, they do not add. I have everything on my ipod but when I connect it, it says that I have already synched it with another computer. How can I get my music back in the library as it was before? And do I do this with the music and podcasts stored on my computer or can iget my music from my ipod to the library?

*can i get my music from my ipod to the library?*
Connect your iPod to your computer. when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

Windows 7 reinstall getting apps back.

I had to reinstall windows 7. I still have the old install on a dual boot partition. I connected the ipad in the new install, backed it up, and also transfered all purchases, which only put the apps that were currently on the ipad into itunes. How do I go about getting all the apps I have on the old install over to the new itunes install without having to download everyone piecemeal? (and Iam also getting the "synched with another library error, which I am not sure how to fix).
thanks!

Nevermind, got it figured out. thx.

Ultranav not recognized at all by windows 7 after getting it back from servicing

Hello,
I just got back my W530 form servicing due to BSODs, they replaced the memories, mother board, and a power cable, and now the Ultranav pointing device doesn't work, and isn't listsed in the device manager.
What should I try? I have already tried installing the drivers from the website to no avail.
Thanks!

After I install the driver from the Lenovo website, and I open the mouse setting in Windows, I get the following error.
If I uninstall it, and reboot, the problem still exists.
Any suggestions?

Windows 10 update - BBlink wont back up my z30

its been 48 hrs since my pc updated to wo windows 10 so i thought i would back up my z30. BBlink opens up fine, recognises my phone but after clicking full back up or quick backup this message appears:unable to creat file in backup folder (describes my folder) Please ensure you have write access to teh back up folder or change your folder. Any thoughts? I dont want to change backup folder

What most likely happened is Microsoft added a lock on that file and labeled it as a system configuration file that cannot be altered. I would try contacting Microsoft support on this issue and let them know that it is THERE issue. Usually they will try and blame the BlackBerry software instead of there own. Good Luck and keep this thread up to date with any new developments.

PC crashed, reformat -- reinstall iTunes -- how to get library back?

Hello
My PC main hard drive crashed, ended up replacing and reinstalling fresh from the ground up--OS, apps, etc.
I've had iTunes for some time, have about 40 songs purchased from the iTunes store. Naturally my iTunes is completely blank now, no music or anything. How do I get all my music back, including what was purchased from the iTunes store?
Is it possible to reverse-sync my iPod to iTunes, load the songs back into the iTunes application?
Haven't had this issue before so not sure if there is an established precedent/procedure?
Thanks in advance...

You should ALWAYS backup your info/pics/music/ etc to an external source. Backing up to the same drive isn't very helpful, as it provides no protection in case of drive failure ( major reason for backing up in the first place).
Just purchased songs -depending on which ipod model.
You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered quite often. Zevoneer does a great job explaining the options.

Lost trash can, etc. in Mail window-how to get it back?

When reading a message, I used to see icons at the bottom of the screen, including the trash icon. (I think there was a reply and forward icon as well). As of today, all those icons are missing. It's just any empty bar.
I saw the advice about turning the Archive function off, but it was off and has been off (as far as I know) since I got the phone. I am using I have an iPhone 5 running 6.1.4.

It never fails. Once I post a question, the solution presents itself. I did a restart, and now the icons are back. Yay!

HT5070 i recently had a friend update my windows and the most important part of my laptop is my ITunes & when i went on ITunes all of my songs have been deleted there has to be a way to get them back in my library? what do i do to get them back? I paid i

aI paid a small fortune to have a very big Music Library and all of my songs are gone? How do i get them back? There has to be some way to have over 2000 + songs put back into my own Library how do i do that?

What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

After the last iTunes update, I lost EVERYTHING in my iTunes library (music, videos and podcasts). How do I get them back?

iTunes was just updated on my Windows 7 and now I lost EVERYTHING in my music library. All of my music that I added and purchased, all my videos (TV shows) and all of my podcasts (some of them are older podcasts that I was saving to listen to for later and I can't ever get them back because I don't subscribe to them now). How do I get all my files back? I'm so upset! I had a similar issue a earlier this year with an iTunes update. I wish I can keep everything the way it is without ever having to update the program. I either lose ALL my files or the program doesn't work right.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Jenny
