ITunes/Windows 7 compatibility

I have tried unchecking the ccmpatibility box in the iTunes properties, and using XP or Vista. None makes any difference.

Are any boxes whatsoever (not just the compatibility mode box itself) checked in the Compatibility tab, Asker? (Having any of the other boxes checked in there can produce a click-through compatibility warning message.) If there are any checked boxes, uncheck them all and try launching iTunes again. Does that get rid of the message?

im having this same exact issue itunes wont even play the music i have on the cpu and no matter how many times i uninstall itunes then reinstall it it doesnt fix the issue someone plz help i been tryin to put my music on my iphone 4 for days now

Let's uncheck that one too, Ask. I've seen that produce compatibility mode messages for iTunes at least once before.

Do you have a 32-bit or a 64-bit Windows 7 system?

If it's 64-bit, Random Behavior's post here may help with getting rid of the error message:

If anyone has the answer to the compatibility problem I could sure use it sfchayes@msn.com.

Okay. Even though you're 32-bit, perhaps try the Random Behavior technique anyway. (I usually see "nothing-checked" compatibility mode troubles show up on 64-bit systems. But it would do no harm to have a look just in case you've got a 32-bit version of the same sort of thing.)

🙂 Excellent news.

It's not a bad workaround if you'd prefer not to spend time in the registry (which I understand completely). One disadvantage is that (since the registry entry is still there), you'll probably have to reapply the workaround after the next time you update iTunes (because the update will drop a "fresh" iTunes.exe on your system).

... because you're on Windows 7, an additional thought occurs to me. On my XP system, compatibility mode settings are user-account specific. But on 7 systems, there's an option to apply changes to compatibility mode settings across all user accounts.

Are there other user accounts up and running on the PC? If so, it might be worth checking through the compatibility mode tabs for iTunes in those other accounts, just in case someone has a setting in place that is being "pushed across" to your user account (but is not displaying in the iTunes compatibility mode tab for you ... I've seen odd things of similar sorts related to compatibility settings that suggest that such an effect might be possible).
