Itunes compatible Will the Pilot work with Itunes?

Hello,

Sounds like a compatibility issue. You want to ensure that iTunes is not set to run in compatibility mode. To check this please follow the steps listed below: Step 1. Exit out of iTunes.
Step 2. On the Windows Start Menu select Computer.
Step 3. Browse to the following location: C:\Program Files\iTunes.
Note: Windows 7 (64 bit) users browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Step 4. Right-click on the iTunes application (iTunes or iTunes.exe) and select Properties.
Step 5. Next select the Compatibility tab.
Step 6. Ensure that the options Run this program in compatibility mode and Run this program as an administrator are not checked. If they are checked please deselect these options, then select Apply, and OK. You should now be able to open iTunes with out receiving the error message about iTunes running in compatibility mode.

iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best result, turn off compatibility mode of iTunes before you open it.

> 1. Make sure iTunes isn't running.
2. Click Start, type regedit, then press Enter.
3. Navigate to this Registry location:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
4; Its better you clean/repair Windows registry with RegInOut.
4. Look in the main pane for a key that refers to iTunes. If you find one, delete it, then exit the Registry.
5. Start iTunes. The offending message should be gone!

I have the same iPod and it works with any version, at least mine does. Try downloading it here itunes.com

that's where I went to get mine. And it worked. Hope this helped!

Unfortunately, even though I'd turned off compatibility mode for iTunes (by right-clicking the iTunes icon, choosing Properties, clicking the Compatibility tab, and clearing the Compatibility mode checkbox), the program generated this irksome message every time I ran it:

iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best result, turn off compatibility mode of iTunes before you open it.

Sigh. Stupid Windows. Or maybe stupid iTunes. Either way, compatibility mode was "off," but iTunes didn't think so.

Fortunately, I finally found a solution:

1. Make sure iTunes isn't running.

2. Click Start, type regedit, then press Enter.

3. Navigate to this Registry location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

4. Look in the main pane for a key that refers to iTunes. If you find one, delete it, then exit the Registry.

5. Start iTunes. The offending message should be gone!

The whole point of the Pilot is to avoid the tether to iTunes. I'm not sure you can really sync with iTunes but you can easily copy your music to the player. The path in Windows to the iTunes music library is usually under the My Music directory under iTunes\iTunes Music. I created a folder on the Pilot named iTunes Music and copied all the folders under the iTunes Music folder on my laptop to the Pilot folder. Playlists are also supported but if you create the playlist file in iTunes you may need to convert it to m3u format. You will also want to go into the settings and set the USB mode to File & Folder.

All of your Itunes music is held in a specific target folder. In the folder options (somewhere on Itunes :P) is the location of this folder. These are simple files that can be put on a cd, copied, or put into another folder to be put on your insignia player. Hope this helps!

There is probably a compatibility issue between the TX, Pocket Copy, and Iphone. TX is pretty picky about what can be used to transfter information. They only recommend Outlook and the one that is included on the TX CD.

TX and IPhones are different systems as well. You could try to get the files exported from the TX into a CSV and see if you can import the files into Iphone that way, if it will import them.

Good luck on that one.

I believe that Itunes is only compatible with the Ipods.........however, there is a workaround. You need to burn the itunes downloads to a CD, then rip the CD back into an MP3 compatible music program. I'm attempting this as I type.........I burned the itunes songs onto a cd, and then ripped them into Yahoo Jukebox. One sec, and I'll let you know if it worked.

Yay.........it worked! Good luck. :)

I called insignia. An extremely rude cust. service rep. told me that the player doesn't work with itunes playlists and is ONLY mac compat. as a storage device.

What a crap answer! I actually can get songs on the thing and they play, but playlists are a lost cause.

Sometimes technology sucks.......
