XP system not booting since installing ITunes

I successfully installed a 2.0 USB card onto my XP box, however the installation of the iPOD drivers and Ituns gernated errors, and sicne then, my PC will not boot in normal mode, even with last known configuration (The iPOD itself, though connected during the entire boot, gives a normal usage display rahter then "do not disconnect" throughout the driver laoding phase, which never finises. It is however, possible to boot the device, and access the USB and iPOD in SafeMode. What should I do?

No dice. The computer is about 3 years old, with USB 1.1 and sound native to the board (Intel board). I installed a 2.0 usb PCI card without incident, but after installing the Ipod software, a conflict seems to have arisen. Boots fine in Safe Mode with Networking. Leading me to think there is some sound driver conflict.

Windows 8.1 Pro will not boot after installing iTunes 11.1.5.5

It's a little hard for me to accept that this is true, but the symptoms seem to be pointing the direction of the title of this thread. I have an all-in-one touch-screen Gateway computer that came with windows 7 (yeah, a win7 machine that came with touch, yeesh) and I put windows 8.1 pro 64-bit on it with a clean install (actually windows 8 was the clean install and then I did the free microsoft store upgrade to 8.1). It has 4GB of RAM and has a Pentium Dual Core cpu @ 2.2 Ghz. It was running fine with the previous version of iTunes, but as soon as I updated to iTunes 11.1.5.5 (and there may have been other apple things that updated too (ie quicktime of course), the computer prompted me for a reboot and froze during the reboot process (before it even shut down). Then it had trouble booting into windows. I ran startup repair to no avail and decided to do a sytem restore. My most recent restore point was from a few weeks back, before iTunes was even installed at all on the machine. I went back to that point and the machine worked fine again. Then I installed iTunes 11.1.5.5 and the same exact problem occurred - it froze while shutting down after the iTunes install and then would not boot into windows 8. I did another system restore and have not put iTunes back on. The system is working fine. I'm going to try to find out if there's a way to download older versions of iTunes, so that I can install it, but the bigger issue here is: Is this a legitimate bug/incompatibility with some hardware or software or driver that I have on this computer? I run a computer support business so I know my way around but I don't have time to troubleshoot this from scratch. Anyone else seeing this? Apple employees...a little help here? Any input?

let it sit for about 30 min and still got nothing
I then did a "hard shutdown(just pressed power button till it turned off the computer)"
That may not have been long enough. But a "hard shutdown" would definitely have been construed as a problem due to the update.
Asus apparently is a known problem case...

IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
Any

Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

Itunes will not open since installing itunes 7.3.1

I installed Itunes last night. when i tried to open itunes this mornining, i wouldent. A message poped up saying "Itunes cant open, because of a problem with the soundconfiguration".

The subject is wrong, it should be part of the error you got from itunes. This comes up all the time.

System not booting after installing 2010-006 on MacBook Pro.

Today I've installed security update 2010-006 onto a current model, 13" MacBook Pro (the 2.4GHz one if that's relevant) and now it won't boot, just the spinning circle.
If I put it into verbose mode then I get "no suitable image found" and then "the system bootstrapper has crashed: trace/bpt trap".
If I try and boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD then it comes up with "you need to restart your computer" and I can't get any further (this is a working DVD as I've tried it in another machine, and I've also tried booting the installer from USB with the same error).
Is there anything I can do? The hard drive seems fine, and I can reinstall it if I must, but naturally want my data back, as though I have a backup, it's a few weeks old now.

Having a similar issue here on an Intel Core Duo iMac. Updated last night and system wouldn't boot. Some of the "offending" lines in verbose mode:

Booting from my Snow Leopard DVD caused a different kernel panic.
Booting in Safe mode (holding down shift) is possible (wouldn't be posting this otherwise lol), but I don't know how to update the offending kernel extension. Software Update updated correctly and there are no other pending updates.

ITunes not working since installing 11.3(54) on a Macbook Pro.

Since installing iTunes 11.3 (54) on my Macbook Pro iTunes will now work. No music, radio, movies, etc. Nothing plays. Has anyone had a similar issue and found a fix? I downloaded iTunes and installed again but it did not resolve the issue.

Strange behaviour since installing iTunes 7.1.1 upgrade, (my iBook that is)

Since installing iTunes 7.1.1 update only a few days ago strange things are happening.
1. Incorrect disc and track names
I insert a music CD, the usual question comes up: do you wish to import this CD into your iTunes library? I click on yes and wait a second the CD title and tracks are all wrong. usually it is something I imported a short while ago but once it came up with a disc title I must have imported like 6 months ago
Yes I remembered to check the box for automatic gracenotes access but still this error comes up. If unknown disc, and track 1, track2 etc came up that would make logical sense, but I never saw this before.
If I then click on Access gracenotes assuming the data is available it comes up correct.
2. Failure to recognise disc already imported
If I take out the disc and insert again the one I just imported, up comes the question again "do I wish to import?" I thought iTunes was smarter than that.
3. Plying audio affects slide bar action adversely
While checking through sound files in a Finder window, I play an aiff or MP3 file from the Quicktime style control bar displayed there, while the audio is playing the blue bubble at the bottom of the window does not move smoothly when I try to move left or right.
Note:
I've been trying to organise my music library onto a remote hard drive to free up hard drive space. I did this by copying the folders out of the default iTunes music folder into another iTunes music folder on the hard drive such that all the other related folders are present in the main iTunes folder. Could this move be the source of my problems?
iBook G4, 1.07 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Here is the latest on the iTunes problem.
Focussing on iTunes issues only, (I think there are some system issues which I will try to resolve in the appropriate forum).
1. About 6 months ago my hard disc was so full of music fies I moved most of my iTunes music folder content to DVDs for later transfer to an external HD drive.
2. Now I have a small portable HD onto which I have copied all iTunes music folder content into one place. I created a new folder called 'iTunes music' and within Finder I moved the files and re arranged and re-named some of the subfolders to make better sense of the library structure. Incidentally some of the folders seemed to have got locked, and marked as owned by the system? I don't understand how this happened.
3. When I run the iTunes 7 application it finds the new music folder but only a fraction of its true content is displayed as playlists in the left hand column.
4. Thinking that the application would create its own (updated) ' iTunes library' file if it did not find one in the iTunes folder when launching, I moved the existing one to another folder, but the same incomplete list appears!!
So the question is please,
how do I get the application to construct a new and complete iTunes library file?
Have I really screwed things up?
There does not seem to be any reference to this kind of problem in the help files.

just dont understand why the new iTunes need a newer OS X
Fair is not a valid point. No one ever said life was fair.
The larger queustion is can it meet the specs for Snow Leoard.

Pacman -Syu update, System not booting due to systemd

I have just done a full update on pacman, and now my system is not booting due to this message

Does anyone know what is causing this, and what a status code of 127 means?

fstab originally existed on my OS before the pacman upgrade. After the upgrade I got the error message mentioned above (and obviously the fstab was there since I didn't touch it). Then after reading that linked topic (where a similar error message was the cause of systems not booting due to a fstab), I deleted the fstab (or more accurately, moved it somewhere else)

Can't add itunes library to my ipod etc since installing itunes on my new computer. HELP!

I have just installed itunes on my new PC and am trying to add some songs onto an ipod. The songs were purchases from the Itunes store. I go through the process of drag and drop onto the device (its the same with my ipad and iphone) but it won't work. Since installing itunes on my new computer I have bought an album off itunes and it downloaded with no problems - but any of my old purchases won't transfer over. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I haven't as yet transferred over my music libray from my old PC (songs that I burnt ) so not sure if it would be the same. I would have thought that songs that have been purchased in itunes should easily transfer. Help please?

Move the files for your new purchases out to the desktop.
Migrate your library properly from your old computer as given below.
Move the files stored on the desktop into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.
Migrate iTunes Library
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
