• Access to multiple Windows 10 accounts iTunes library

  I have a system 10 Windows with a user account for each Member of the family (4 Standard accounts and 1 Administrator account).  iTunes Media folder is located at C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes media and this has been selected in the iTunes preferences / advanced.  Initially this has been in place since the administrator account and iTunes works very well from this account now.

  However, I'm not able to access the public music library of one other Standard user accounts after you set the preferences of iTunes it correctly.  I don't think it's a matter of vs Standard administrator account, because in a Standard account, I can always navigate Windows Explorer to a song and read it in iTunes - I can't seem to get iTunes to display the entire library of music in my music.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  See make a library of portable split.

  Set the media folder does not change what the iTunes library database is open when iTunes is running.

  In a multi machine iTunes profile must be closed before moving the profiles of school boards.

  A better location for a shared library is X:\iTunes, where X: is an internal drive or external connected locally. Leave the room for growth.

• Satellite L300 & Windows Vista aren't grateful Ipod

  Hi, I hope you can help! I was directed here by Microsoft & Apple - here is my question and also Microsofts response:

  I have an ipod nano 3rd generation, work outside the home a near new laptop with windows vista. iTunes is the entire installation, no problems with the ipod at all but when I plug the ipod in, it only charges the ipod.

  computer doesn't recognize any, the ipod under windows or itunes. It there is no portable device driver in Device Manager, or anywhere at all.

  It is not the usb port as another usb have been recognized. I have tried in all the other usb ports as well. bottom line is that windows vista (and itunes) is not to recognize the ipod at all.

  I've been in contact with apple, with anything. I googled solutions for hundreds of other posts with exactly the same problem but no useful solution. Windows vista has no port of portable device - how can we get this on their pc?

  I've been at this for 4 days now and you have uninstalled/reinstalled much too often and I'm out! all tips (other that "have you tried another usb port' or ' have you reset the ipod" or something similar) would be much appreciated.

  once more, there is no drive of laptop/ipod device located on this computer. Please, I really hope someone can help =)

  * Microsofts response: *.

  Hello

  Step 1: enable USB bus power back

  If the laptop is configured to save power by turning off the power on the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, it may not recognize a connected iPod.

  To activate the rear USB bus power, you can follow the steps mentioned in the link from Apple below
  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1401

  You said Windows vista has no port of portable device normally, all portable devices are connected via a USB port and they appear under Bus USB controllers in Device Manager.

  Step 2: reinstall the USB controllers.

  First of all, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

  1. click on 'Start', type device manager in the search bar and press "Enter." If necessary, click on continue.

  2. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right-click on the "host controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

  3. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  If the problem persists,

  Install a material like Everest home Edition or similar diagnostic tool.
  This tool would enable details of the hardware on your laptop.
  It lists all the devices and chipset name too.
  I think that it s Intel chipset, so you can find the driver on the Intel page

• iTunes crashes on start up with Windows Vista

  For the last week or so iTunes crashed during startup to the top in Windows Vista. I have the 32-bit version. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. This doesn't seem to help. When it plant, I get a blue screen with a lot of text that does not stay up long enough to read. Then, the computer stops and restarts. I tried to install different version of iTunes, 12.1.3.6 and especially 12.1.2.27. I tried a restore of the entire system to a restore point that I thought was the problem. That no longer works. I did a full antivirus software scan and found no viruses either. I have run out of ideas and would appreciate any help that is available. Cannot synchronize calendars from Microsoft Office to my iPhone.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Make sure after you have uninstalled all the components Apple to remove iTunes shortcuts from the desktop, taskbar, or start menu before you reinstall.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• How to convert files iTunes music to Windows Media Player in Windows Vista?

  I am running Windows Vista and have just bought a Palm Treo Pro PDA.  I would like to convert my music files in my itunes folder on for
  Windows Media so that I can upload them on my Palm Treo Pro.  I am a real novice at this computer stuff because I always had someone around to help me.  I have now decided to do it myself up-to-date with technology, so if anyone has an answer for me, they will have to set out very simply so that I can follow.  I'd appreciate any help supply. Thank you

  Hello Babefromthebush,

  Thank you for your message.  Open Windows Media Player.  Click on the Library tab and then add them to the library.  Your files must be located in your personal folder click OK.  Which will add your Media Player files.

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

• Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

  Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

  I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

  Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

  Thank you.

  A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

  Several tags (Mp3 files only)

  The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

  Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

• ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

  I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

  1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

  2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

  3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

  4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

  If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

  I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

  Vondegru,

  With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.

• Windows Vista 64 bit does not install last version of iTunes

  I just updated my iPhone, the recent phone must have the latest version of iTunes installed, I currently have 12.3 but I'm unable to download the latest version, I have Windows Vista 64-bit on my desktop, can anyone help?

  I don't think that Vista will support the latest version of iTunes, which is necessary for the latest version of iOS. I will check something quick and get back to you. What iPhone do you have? What happens when you try to download the latest version?

• move the itunes library on a disk on pc Windows 10

  I use ITunes on my Windows 10 photo.  I installed the latest update of ITunes.

  My ITunes library is stored on my pc windows 10 under c:\music.  I would like to create a music folder, the c:\OneDrive\music and drag all ITunes music and other files from the current location to the new location.

  I would say then ITunes the new location for the music to ITunes and other files.

  It would give me the auto backup my library cloud existing ITunes as well as everything I add to it.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  In theory, it should be possible to do it, assuming you have enough storage in OneDrive to host your music library.

  Before you try this, make sure that your library is portable and sustained upward.

  Make a portable split library

  This done, close iTunes and copy the iTunes folder in its entirety to the folder of a drive.

  Once the copy is complete, open iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key on your keyboard. This will allow you to select a library to load when loading iTunes.

  Point iTunes to the location of the folder to a drive where you copied the library and wait for it to load.

  Note: unless you have moved manually the folder from one drive to C:\ sound usually found in your user folder, not directly on the root of the C:\ drive.

• iPhone 6 Plus with IOS9 impossible to restore back to the top with iTunes on Windows Vista 12.1.2. 5 years of data lost?

  Hi guys

  I was really grateful for any help on this, I am really at my wits end.

  So my iPhone 6 more than 128 GB camera packed a few days ago. I made an appointment to repair/replace the Genius Bar and prior to the appointment back up everything on my phone to itunes on my Windows Vista laptop. All 100 + GB of it. I will mention at this stage, nothing has been saved to icloud (silly me!)

  Apple is good enough to replace my iPhone as it was still under warranty. I plugged my new iPhone forward to my laptop to restore to the last backup, in order to receive a message in order to synchronize with the iPhone I have to update iTunes to the latest version. No problem, I thought. I checked for the last download iTunes to receive a message that iTunes is up to date... At this point, I started to panic. So I tried to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple website only to be told that iTunes 12.3 works only with Windows 7 or later... AAAHHHHHHH!

  I literally my life on this phone. 5 years worth of data just gone. I can't downgrade the IOS on the phone, and I can't update iTunes on my laptop.

  Is there any fine people out there with a solution to this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Brand...

  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the minimum requirement is Windows 7 and iTunes 12.3.3...

• ICloud for Apple music activation will damage my iTunes library?

  I agree with Apple's music and I understand that if I want to add pieces of Apple's music in my iTunes library I must activate iCloud. I have so far resisted doing this since all reports of permanent damage to your library master iTunes at the time where Apple music was introduced. It means your iTunes library will be scanned and anything in the catalog of music Apple is copied in your iCloud, but at a lower speed to ICloud. Music you have (I have 1700 titles of a CD, I added that I bought) is not in the catalog will be copied in iCloud, but at a lower rate. But I was warned of the following problems. Does anyone know if all those who have been set? Of course, I keep a backup of everything on my Mac, but I'm afraid of damaging my iTunes library. I've read about problems are:

  1. DRM is added to the music you own and copied to your iTunes library.
  2. Music you have will be converted at any bit rate and a different format (I use MP3) and copied in your library.
  3. Many only find albums that they have got iTunes tracks scrambled, metadata for artist names and track names got scrambled, and playlists got out of order.
  4. Album cover and the track got corrupted and replaced with incorrect art.

  I know things are not supposed to be true based on the Apple FAQ, but they occurred when music Apple and iOS 9 first came out. These questions definitely resolved?

  1. no DRM will not be added to your own music and copied into your iTunes Library UNLESS you decide to delete your original files and then re - upload to your computer's iTunes library. Or if you have set up a second computer share the same Apple ID and download the tracks to this second computer.

  2 not - yet as answer #1 - if you delete your original files and then re-download. You will receive versions Apple music that - according to what bitrate you torn initially to-may or may not be a lower data rate.

  3. Yes, it happens. But most often it happens when you try to listen to music on other computers or devices. There was reports of these types of problems in their library (the one people used as source to configure BCTI) original iTunes and that's why it makes sense to have a backup of your original files. But, that being said, I've been using AM / BCTI since it began and I saw only occasional and minor problems with my metadata on my original library. However, I've seen a lot of questions on the iPhone and iPad that share my ID Apple and iCloud music library - mainly the wrong version of a song being substituted for the one I have in my library (the original) iMac iTunes.

  4 Yes - See answer #3.

  Yet once again, most of these problems happen either (1) on the secondary devices you use with your music library to iCloud or (2) when people decided - usually to save hard drive space - to remove their original files and then replace with others of their MEMBER.
