Ross Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Turn off your computer. Turn it back on again rapidly hitting the F8 key. Black and white screen will come up asking you if you want to long-in in Safe Mode. Go for it and at the user select screen, the administrator account should now be visible and accessible. Failing that, don't use wank software like iTunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketcase Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 i assume you're using a PC? because when i had my PC, using iTunes was like pulling teeth yeah but it's weird that if you're the admin that you can't move the folder. i don't know. sounds like something's corrupt ross's plan is what i would suggest too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 what do you use? Shamefully, Windows Media Player. Unless it's to put stuff on my iPod. In which case, Poddox or Yamipod are what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you have multiple iTunes icons? Usually when it updates or something, it over-writes all files including the one desktop icon. Also when you "reinstalled" did you uninstall the program first?

Hmm... strange. I'd say uninstall it (go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs> choose iTunes and Uninstall) once it's done, restart your PC. That should get rid of iTunes then. And if you wanna use iTunes again, just install it again afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
