Windows upgrade & iTunes reinstall

I upgraded my OS from Windows 7 to Windows 8 doing  complete wipe/install. Before I did I deauthorized that PC. I reinstalled iTunes and reauthorized. Now when I try to sync my iPad it says it needs to erase everything to sync with this new install. Is there a way around this? Its a 32GB iPad that is almost full.

Yes there is a way around it. This user tip will tell you exactly what you need to do.

  • Windows reformatted; iTunes reinstall (have backup)

    hi all,
    I just reformatted windows xp due to a virus; I had previously kept a backup of my entire iTunes directory.
    Now that I have everything set up, and iTunes reinstalled (and now it's pointing to a different base directory, and have copied the files to that directory), I'm not seeing anything in iTunes. Is there an FAQ article about how to restore the entire iTunes directory?
    thanks much,
    Cosmin

    Have a look at here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/howto/

  • TS3694 Getting "Error 7 (Windows error 126) when trying to upgrade or reinstall iTunes on PC running Widows Vista.  Any suggestions?

    Hello -
    Have been running iTunes on Windows PC for many months.  OS is Vista.  Today when prompted to upgrade iTunes and iCloud Control Panel, the upgrade failed.  Message received was "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 126).  Also saw a message that said a particular DLL file was missing but don't know specific file name.  Have tried upgrading and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes several times without success.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • Received notice from Apple to upgrade iTunes on my Dell PC running windows 7 Ultra. Update failed numerous times with error message R6034 Microsoft visual C   error. Apple instructions to remove  itunes and reinstall. Reinstall failed (same Err). HELP!

    Received notice from Apple to upgrade iTunes with 11.1.4 on my Dell PC running Win 7 Ultra.During upgrade got error message R6034 several tries (app's attempt to load C runtime library incorrectly in Visual C + + runtime library). Apple's suggestion to uninstall iTunes and reinstall with ver. 11.1.4. Tried that, it failed too. Now have no iTunes, think I have lost all saved podcasts and music, and get no help from Apple. What to do?

  • ITunes 10.7 upgrade - 'Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes'

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.7, which I now regard as one of the poorest pc-related decisions I've ever made.  The time suck on this issue is massively depressing.
    Running Windows Vista.  Have completely uninstalled and re-installed (clean registries, re-boots etc) all iTunes and Apple products with no resolution.
    Every time I try to start iTunes I get a "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes" message on loop.  At some point it will usually default to "Checking iTunes Library" and then both that and the installer will run in tandem.  When I look at Task Manager it seems to indicate from the amount of memory usage that iTunes is in fact running in some form or at some level, but it does not actually open the program.
    When I reinstalled yesterday iTunes opened right up (after the install it did not ask me to reboot the system).  When I restarted the system this morning the problem was back.  Just installs and installs and installs ...  Doesn't actually open.  Wouldn't any registry conflict/problem have been fixed with the clean reinstall? 
    I've tried every solution/trick/suggestion I can find with internet searches. No luck.  This has been a month now.  iPhone and various iPods completely inaccessible re content and that really hammers home the danger of relying on a closed system like this.  Really disappointed in this situation.
    Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

    I am using iTunes 7.1.1

  • Windows 7 Upgrade - iTunes no longer see's my remote Airport Expresses

    Before upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, I deinstalled iTunes. After upgrading, I reinstalled the latest iTunes from Apple. iTunes appeared to be working fine until I played the 1st song. It could not find/connect the 2 remote Airport Express units. Interestingly, the icon at bottom right of iTunes initially showed the multiple choices but now it does not show anything. Also, the computer shows my APPLE network as strong and working just fine. The APPLE network is one of the Airport Express units. So, I am connected to the network OK . . . it is just iTunes that can no longer see the multiple locations to stream music. Am using an HP laptop, really strong and just purchased last year. Prior to upgrading Windows 7, everything had been working perfectly. H E L P

    I suspect that the problem may be the Windows 7 firewall settings are preventing AirTunes from negotiating a connection to either AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    To check your Windows 7 firewall setting: Control Panel > Systems and Security > Windows Firewall. Select Turn Windows Firewall on or off. For troubleshooting, temporarily disable the Windows Firewall.
    Your PC should now be able to stream to the AX. Please post back your results.

  • On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"

    On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice this morning, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"
    I wasn't paying attention so I don't know the precise error I got on the upgrade failure.
    All other iTunes upgrades have been fine...no brainers.  Done several on this W7 PC.
    If I re-download and install a fresh iTunes I assume I will lose my library...true?  Can I find and save off my library so I don't have to "discover" all my music which is scattered all over the PC and a 1T attached USB drive.
    Or is there some way to get the iTunes upgrade to successfully restart and install correctly?
    Help!

    Hello there, Konami84.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some recomendations for troubleshooting:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7

    i tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7 - it says "The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi there  - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
    1) iTunes
    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support
    Then you restart your computer.
    Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
    Then you restart your computer again.
    Mine is working perfectly again now.
    I hope it works for you,
    Carmen.

  • I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    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.

    I just upgraded itunes. And now I cannot see my iPads or iPod in the left margin of itunes? But I can still see them in my Windows Explorer?

    Hey there MattSK123,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Or

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Ipad not recognized by windows neither iTunes after error in the iOS5 upgrade

    The iOS5 upgrade was stopped due to an error.
    Since then the iPad is not being recognized by windows neither iTunes. I've re-installed iTunes, the file usbaapl.sys is at windows\system32\drivers and Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers folders but still there's an error when I plug in the iPad - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery) - This device can not start (code10).
    I've call the support here in Brazil and the only information that I got was that this was due to the fact that I'm running windows XP and it doesn't support iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Can any one confirm this? Why there's no information on this when I installed the 10.5 version and downloaded the iOS 5?
    Any help would be highly apreciated because now I have my iPad asking to be connected to iTunes and no chance to get a PC with a different version of Windows...

    Glad you got it fixed - and I wasn't trying to be a wise guy.
    It just seemed logical to me that if iTunes recognized the iPad and the iPhone - but they didn't show un in your Windows Devices Manager or Explorer or whatever it's called - that it was probably a Windows thing.
    Now you must truly be a HappyMommy!
