Q: I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to export vinyl records to iTunes. The computer downloads (records) the songs from the record, but when it is to be exported to iTunes, I get a window that says iTunes unable to export. (compatability?)

I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to record vinly records to my computer; which then is supposed to automatically download to my iTunes program. But it does not. It records and stores (somewhere) in the computer, but when it is supposed to be exported into iTones, I get a window that says something about incompatability and/or "close other windows in iTunes; but there are no open windows and iTunes is closed. I followed all instructions to EZ Vinyl to the T, but no export/import to iTunes. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do? THX!

iPod nano (5th generation), Windows 7

    Tony, thanks so much. The message reads: "Unable to export to iTunes. Please make sure you close any active windows in iTunes. Would you like to try exporting again? [Yes] [No]"

    And of course I click on Yesl, but I keep getting the same window message. I read somewhere, that MixMeister is not compatible with Apple iTunes 10 series versions. The advice said to go to control panel; Programs; click on iTunes; click on Change; click on Repair. I tried that, but I still get the same window message. Then I read that I should contact the mixmeister support website, which will be my next step. But if you can provide any direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

    Hmmmm. I think MixMeister support might end up being the ultimate port of call, Dan. But just in case, let's also try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

    Tony, turned out to be a compatability problem. I did as you advised. But I also went to the ionaudio website and downloaded the latest version. Then I found my question (inability to export to iTunes) in the Q&A section. I followed the instructions for adjusting compatability to Windows 7. And, voila!  It now works just fine. Thanks again for your assistance. Best Wishes, Sincerely,

    Dan Macias
