Jan 23, 2012 7:48 PM in response to Defiledby YoungRiffNJ,I tried the link you provided. The only thing that seemed to work was I had to create a new user account on my computer. only problem with that was that iTunes is completely clear of all my songs.
Do you happen to know if I uninstall iTunes and then re-install it and then if I plug my ipod in my computer will it transfer all my songs back in??

Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
Does that clear up the compatibility message?

Jan 23, 2012 8:59 PM in response to b noirby YoungRiffNJ,Nope, didn't work. I don't get the compatibility pop-up but iTunes is still frozen when I open it. I can't click on anything. The only way to get out of it is to use Task Manager to end the process.
