Hi everyone !
I am trying to find out if the current version of Apple Itunes is fully compatible with Windows 8 ?
I have done some research and I seem to be understanding that Apple has not updated its software to fit into the new system & there are some issues surfacing about compatibility. I am about to instal Windows 8 but I must have Itunes working perfectly with the new system as I am a devoted Apple supporter with Ipad, Ipod, Iphone etc. I know that Microsoft wants us to change to their own music system but like many people I will not change as I love my Apple products and Itunes.
Can anyone please give me some guidance. I am in Australia and Windows 8 has officially launched.
Thanks : Allan

Hi,
Itunes may work perfectly with Windows 8 on your system, but it doesn't with mine. I have the same configuration you listed and the issue I am having is Itunes will not show any apps that are on my iPhone or iPad. All I see is a gray box with a pen & pencil forming an X in the center of the box along with the message any apps will show here.

Very true Dane. Especially when MS wants you to buy there music and use their media services.
It seems like there was a very download available for a period of time. But I'll bet the deadline was yesterday!
This windows 8 media center is total ****. I should not need to pay 100 dollars for something that should have been included on my computer.
Based on what I've been reading, the reason is pretty simple.
Each case is different. Some are upgrading from Win 7 to Win 8, some have the Win 8 Media Pack, some are doing a fresh install or are running a new PC with Win 8.
Then there are different version of Win 8 and iTunes. Many are still running the 10.7 version of iTunes even though a newer version is out there. Win 8 RT is probably not going to work.
It's a **** shoot! Hopefully, once I get the Media Pack installed, my iTunes problem will be solved.
