  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.

  • After doing a suggested update of itunes on my pc it will not open and gives me a msg saying msvcr80.dll is not on my computer and windows error 126 has occured

    After doing an update of itunes on my pc Itunes will no longer open and gives me a msg about MSVCR80.dll not on my computer and Itunes was installed incorrectly error 7 (windows error 126)

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • Itunes 10.6.1 does not open- Windows XP

    Good Evening Gang,
    I recently reinstalled windows XP and downloaded the new itunes 10.6. Itunes starts with the end user agreement and does not open after I accept. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work and I cannot sync any of my apple devices. I have 1. Reinstalled itunes 2. Trusted itunes in the anivirus program 3. Reinstalled XP. I have not had this problem of the past 5 years. Below are my specs. Is this an issue for 10.6 as this is frustrating as I cannot buy music or sync any devices? Is there a workaround? Can I get a previous version?
    Any help would be great.
    Computer: Dell Dimension 8400 (Old School but still running like a gem)
    OS: XP Service pack 3
    AnriVirus: Norton 2012 Internet security

    Thanks for the quick response. Did not work. I tried to repair
    But there was only an option to remove/uninstall?
    iTunes opens to the end user agreement and when I hit agree,
    Nothing happens. This is frustrating and I am about to give up.
    Can it be norton Internet security 2012? I used previous versions
    Of iTunes with norton with no problem. Why is this version 10.6 being
    A pain? Any help as I would like update my iPad and devices...
    Thanks

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

    When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    A bit confused by your statement

    . I do not understand why the music is clearly on the Ipod but wont reconize it anywhere.
    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • Itunes store does not open - no error using windows vista

    does anyone have any solutions that will allow me to access itunes store.
    no error comes up.
    using vista and have downloaded current itunes 10.4
    thanks

    thanks. spyware scan was clean.
    how do i make sure itunes is allowed through antivirus? also,regarding the files to be deleted, where are they located on PC?
    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good
    antispyware checker and give it a go at your system.
    Some recent spyware has been reported by other users
    to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching.
    From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at
    catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido
    here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, make sure that any
    antivirus/antispyware application you have is set to
    allow iTunes to operate. Some antivirus/antispyware
    has been known to shut down iTunes. An upgrade to
    iTunes or to the utility may have triggered the
    problem.
    If that still doesn't help, take a look at iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting unexpected
    quits, freezes, or launch failures
    If that still doesn't work, try deleting the iTunes
    preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
    Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
    Data\Application Data\Apple
    Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find
    them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select
    Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show
    hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling
    panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put
    them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other
    location. This will force iTunes to run the setup
    assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that
    you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've
    changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:

  • HT201209 The buy button in itunes does not open  a new window and allow me to buy a purchase

    Hello
    We are having problems with iTunes. We have redeemed a voucher which does appear £25 but we can not Buy a purchase. The new window does not open like it used to.
    We can not download the free singles either.
    This has been happening for 2 weeks.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

  • ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

    I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.
    Toshiba Satellite   Windows Vista  

    No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

  • My device does not appear in the iTunes window.  Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync

    My device does not appear in the iTunes window.  Instead a separate window opens so I cannot sync my device.  I have tried with both my iPad, my iPod and my iPhone.  In each case a separate window opens showing that it is fully connected to the computer, but it does not open in iTunes. 
    I have followed previous instructions to stop then start the device manager.  I have even uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes, but no luck.  Can someone help??

    Hello Linda Lev,
    It sounds like Windows recognizes that your devices are conneted, but iTunes does not. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Itunes does not open menu on connection with Iphone 5 windows 8

    Have you tried clicking on the phone in the device section. It may not automatically select the iPhone. From iTunes, you can select the phone. The menu looks a little different in the newer versions of iTunes. Control + B will bring up the menu bar, Control + S will bring up the sidebar for you to select the phone.
