(Windows 8.1) My iTunes takes a while to open, freezes and doesn't recognize any apple device plugged into it.  I've uninstalled iTunes and other software components in the order I was told but still end up with the same result.Why is that?

Why is iTunes for Windows 8 (8.1) taking so long to boot up, not recognizing an apple device and freezing after a proper uninstall and reinstall?

Hmm....I just had another thought.  All the machines are running Win7 SP1, BUT the 2 that can sync with MSE installed are 32bit versions, however the one that can't is 64bit.  Not sure if that makes any difference though.  All are clean installs with Win7SP1 media, not SP1 installed later.

  • Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
    Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
    Thank You.

    Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

  • ITunes no longer runs since buying Match. Within ten seconds of opening, it crashes, everytime. Firewall off, latest version of iTunes reinstalled, Windows updates/etc. on, no other software running at the same time. Error-report just says reinstall.

    I can no longer use iTunes whatsoever.
    I'm hoping to get a refund for the $25 wasted on match if my PC isn't compatible. But how the **** do I get iTunes as a whole to stop crashing?
    I'm on Windows 7 with AMD C-50 processor and 2GB RAM, 250GB hard disc.
    Never had an issue with Apple products before today.
    Windows error reporting claims that "an update to iTunes addresses the issue", but not only did I have 10.5.3 already, I went ahead and reinstalled it, too, and the 64bit version just for the **** of it in case that'd make difference. No luck.
    I mean, surely, the fact that this is only happening to me means it is a problem with my system. But I don't suppose its the usual stuff that way, way inexperienced computer users end up on these forums about. No viruses (are there PC viruses that only affect iTunes match? sounds far fetched.) No firewall issues. Not running outdated software. I imagine its my CPU, my hardware, thats just not compatible with Match.
    Anyways. The crash occurs about 20% into the progress bar of gathering info about your library for match. When restarting, it asks to log off and log back in to the itunes store. A few times I was able to do that, by getting to the little X and cutting off match before it could crash (still logging out and logging back in made no difference), but now the speed at which it gets to the 20% and crashes is so fast I can't beat it to it.
    Do you suppose the Apple store at the mall, since I just got a 4S with Apple Care+ might be able to help me, or would there be a fee? I can't afford a new computer right now, and if mine just could never work with match period, might I get a refund?

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • Should iTunes version and iPod software version be the same?

    My iTunes is version 7.6, but my iPod software is version 1.1
    Should they be the same?

    No, they are not the same. If you have a 1st Generation Shuffle you should have firmware 1.1.5. If you have a 2nd Generation Shuffle it would be 1.0.3.

  • My iPad shut off for some reason.  The battery was charged.  I couldn't get it to turn back on until I pressed the on button and home at the same time.Why did that happen?

    I had trouble upgrading my iPad2 toiOS 5.1.I have had it for about 1 year.  I had never upgraded it.  I tried a few times but I kept getting a message that I would loose everything on my iPad if I did.  I bit the bullet andfigured that I would restore it from the back up on my laptop.  Some of the backup files were corrupted.  I was unable to retore my exchange email or my notes from the noted app.
    Today, my iPad shut off for no reason and I couldn't get it to turn on again, even though the battery was 70% charged.  I had to press the on button and home button to get it to come back on.

    I'm not sure what problem you are experiancing but it would be well worth contacting apple.
    If you have had it for less than one year it should be covered under warrenty

  • ITunes and other programs active at the same time

    Is there any way to have iTunes accessible and running while another program is active. When using iTunes to hear a song for reference and using another music program (such as a music publishing program) , it is very cumbersome to continually go back and forth to each program.

    Yes, and this free program will give you complete control of iTunes from the OS X menu bar: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/youcontroltunes.html

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.

  • I just downloaded and installed the 64bit itunes, but I get an error 2 "Apple application support required to run Itunes, uninstall and install again" I did that twice and got the same result

    I am a Windows 7 user and everything has been fine, but when I just tried to open itunes I got an Error 2 message. "Apple application support not found. uninstall and install itunes again." I have done that twice with the same result. this was the 64 bit version.

    Check this Apple document out -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Try following the steps in that article, which will have you remove iTunes and the other bundled Apple software. Then download and install iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64 bit).

  • TS3212 itunes takes a while to open on windows 7

    When I open itunes, it takes a while to open up. What can I do about this?

    Hello there Tonyal8507,
    I was researching what might cause performance issues with iTunes on a Windows computer and found this lil gem. Named Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4123, I think it will help you out.
    If that troubleshooting does not resolve your issue, you may want to consider recreating your iTunes library.

    Updated itunes - windows quickly shuts it down and says something about "Data Execution Prevention". I followed the instrucxtions to a dead end. I have re downloaded it twice and used the repair files once but get the same result. It worked fine before I updated it to death.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

    Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
    Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" 
    Have tried that but get the same result.
    Remedies I've tried are:
    wait and try again
    reboot
    reload iTunes
    NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
    Can anyone assist?

    RHoodnkt-
    Try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two to restart.
    Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

  • Downloaded iOs 5.0.1 but songs did not restore to my phone. Tried to synch to iTunes today and it prompted me to "restore" my phone again. Did that but songs did not restore. Each time I try to synch, it prompts me to restore with the same result. Help!

    When I first downloaded iOS 5.0.1 on Monday night I received an error message (I didn't capture it, sorry). So I re-attempted. After downloading and restoring my phone from backup, it prompted me again to restore my phone. I complied. And it prompted me to restore my phone from the backup again. I tried it again with the same result. Finally frustrated I stopped.
    I didn't realize until the next day that my music was empty on the phone. I tried to synch today to get my songs back on the phone and instead it AGAIN asked me to restore my phone from the backup. I complied but my music is still missing. I need help!
    Please note I am using iTunes as the backup storage on my PC, I haven't turned on iCloud because I don't have wireless service in my home.
    I am soooo frustrated right now. I need my music to go running in the morning.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.
