I have tried to download iTunes onto my windows XP laptop with mozilla and have been unsuccessful. Every time I try to download it is initially canceled and then when I repeat it it seems to download taking several minutes but doesn't really download. Mozilla download window shows it on the list with the generic not downloaded icon. I have tried multiple things.
I've been trying to back up and sync my iTunes library with my iPhone 8. I have both iTunes and iPhone 8 to the latest revisions and when I try to "Sync" it tries for a moment and then I get a message that the back up failed and can't sync the rest. I am using Windows 10 on a PC with plenty of space available.
Thanks again for the great details. In order to allow for a larger portion of your iCloud storage to be used for a backup, you'd likely need to upgrade the storage amount you're using: Buy more iCloud storage
If you don't intend on using iCloud for a backup in the future, it may not be necessary to upgrade. Let's keep looking into the behavior you're seeing with iTunes; I'd like for you to follow these steps next:
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're having trouble backing up and syncing your iPhone with iTunes on your PC. I know it's important to be able to create a backup and manage the content on your device; I'd like to help. I'd recommend starting with the steps in this resource to troubleshoot backing up first: If you can't back up your iOS or iPadOS device to a computer or restore it from a backup
You're most welcome! It's great to hear that iTunes is working as expected after all of the great troubleshooting you did. To locate the iTunes.exe file on your PC, I'd suggest taking a look at the Apple Recommended reply here: Create desktop icon for iTunes on Windows 10
I did what you said up to Step 3 but from there, I didn't know to back up my iPhone without using iTunes. It shows up on my "C" drive but there was no obvious way to back up without using iTunes. I tried iTunes again and got the same results, back up failed and can't sync the rest. No error messages shown.
One other thing. I thought about uninstalling iTunes and re-installing. Before doing anything, I went to Apple store and asked for ther latest version of iTunes I should use on Windows 10 PC, using the latest software on my iPhone 8 (13.4).
It recommended the iTunes software version 12.05, but the latest iTunes software version I was already using was 12.10.5, which seems to be a much later version of the iTunes software Apple recommended.
On my iPhone 8 when I go to iCloud Storage, under Backups there is 0 KB of space allocated so when I go to "iCloud Backups" and turn it ON, it tries to do a backup but quickly runs out of space, no error message except that I don't have enough space to back up this iPhone.
I don't entirely know why, but the answer is that the library playlist doesn't actually contain tracks. Strange, I know, but since you just want to run this over every track, there's an even simpler solution. Rather than every track of library, just use every track; this will get literally every track in the application, which is what you're trying to do. And with a few other simplifications, this becomes
The tell application "iTunes" to ... syntax is just like an ordinary tell block, but it's only one statement long and doesn't take an end tell. And you can automatically run the set command over every entry in the list at once, so that's all you need. In general, you rarely need to enumerate via indices; for instance, for something closer to your solution, there's the equivalent
You've been misinformed: AppleScript is not very intuitive, primarily because so much of its observed behavior is determined by each application's implementation of its object model. While it can be very powerful, you often just have to experiment until you find the right incantations that work for a particular application.
If you have a large library, you might want to first experiment with a smaller playlist, for instance, select a track in a test playlist and then substitute in current playlist in the repeat statement.
You can also turn off automatic syncing for music, movies, and TV shows. You must do this if you want to sync iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle with more than one iTunes library, or automatically fill your device with songs using Autofill (see the next task, below).
Phone Link works to connect your iPhone to your Surface so you can see phone notifications , send and receive iOS Messages, and place and answer calls, all from your Surface. You can learn a whole lot more at Phone Link app help and learning, and you can get it set up at Phone Link app requirements and setup.
With your Surface, you can purchase, download, and stream music from iTunes. You can also sync your iOS devices to your Surface using iTunes. To get started, download iTunes from the Microsoft Store.
OneDrive syncs photos and files from your iPhone to your Surface. You need to sign in to your Microsoft account first, but any updates or changes you make in OneDrive will appear on both your devices.
If you've already signed into the OneDrive app, select Me > Settings > Camera Upload and turn on Camera Upload. Now, every photo you take with your iPhone will be saved to OneDrive. If you want videos to be saved to OneDrive, make sure Include Videos is turned on.
If you need to edit Office documents on your iPhone, stay productive with Office apps. You'll be able to create, edit, and share documents directly from your iPhone and continue working on your Surface.
I query the iTunes search ( ) to get a link to open the specific song, which works nice 95% of the time. I validate the result by comparing the returned artist and songtitle to make sure I don't point the user to a "false positive" song.
My best effort so far was to open itms://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search and add ?term=My+keywords&media=music&entity=song which opens iTunes with the search view presented and has already filled in "My keywords", but unfortunately the search term is messed up and displayed as ( "My keywords" ) including the quotation marks and brackets.
I understand this might not be possible. I save all my music files on a samba share. I have a ubuntu server with no GUI installed. I have two iPhones in my house. On my PC they both have two different libraries. Now I would like to set up my server as my always on iTunes server. So that either of us in my house can connect to our library at any time and sync the music to our phone.
Your only recourse is to set up a Windows virtual machine and run iTunes in that. Assuming you are willing to do that, it works quite well. I have had to do this to maintain a family member's iPod, although I do not leave it running all the time.
If you have an iTunes MRSS feed, which follows a formal specification used for services such as iTunes, you can follow an example configuration to simplify the setup. The sample MRSS feed in Fire App Builder uses a feed for a This Week in Tech (TWIT) podcast called Ham Nation, whose feed is publicly available here.
However, iTunes MRSS feeds have a variety of potential elements. In the sample TWIT feed, the content elements in the feed are matched through an XPath query with the query and matchList parameters in the categories recipe contents recipe. You might need to adjust some of this query syntax if your MRSS feed differs from the sample TwitTV MRSS feed. More details are provided in the steps that follow.
Before swapping in your own MRSS feed into the sample TWIT configuration, let's build Fire App Builder using the TWIT feed to get a sense of how it looks and works. To configure Fire App Builder to use the TWIT feed:
To configure Fire App Builder with your own MRSS feed, essentially you just swap it in place of the TWIT feed and make sure the same elements match in your recipes. You can also rename some files so they reflect your own feed rather than saying "Twit."
Before configuring your app, make sure your iTunes MRSS actually validates. Go to Cast Feed Validator and ensure your feed is valid. Beyond validating, your feed must also have the following elements to satisfy Fire App Builder's minimum requirements:
You can see the sample TWIT feed as an example for these elements in context. These elements will map to the mTitle, mId, mDescription, mUrl, mCardImageUrl, and mBackgroundImageUrl model elements in the Fire TV UI. If your valid iTunes feed doesn't have these elements, you can later adjust the category recipe and contents recipe to target similar elements. More detail is provided in the steps that follow.
Open the Navigator_acmemedia.json file (or whatever you named it in the previous step). The default globalRecipes code has a special hard-coded category with content processed by a different recipe. This section is highlighted in red below. Remove this section.
Click Test XPATH. If you see a result containing your items such what's shown in the following code sample, you're all set because the query syntax correctly identifies the contents in your feed's items.
If successful, your app should look similar to the sample TWIT Ham Nation app but with your own feed's content. The feed items are grouped into different categories based on the category element in your feed. If the same item has multiple categories, that item will appear in each category group.
If you get a "Service Unavailable" message, Fire App Builder probably had trouble parsing your feed and mapping it to the UI. Check to see that all elements targeted in your category recipe and contents recipe are present in your feed. You might need to adjust the syntax a bit to target the right elements.
