If you are having trouble syncing your iPhone, iPod, or iPad after the Windows 10 update, don't worry. With just a few clicks you will be back up and running, and able to sync your device with your computer again. It appears as though the Windows 10 update is marking the iTunes folder as Read Only, meaning that your computer won't allow it to sync with the device you have plugged in. So, how do you fix this -54 error? Simple.
You will notice another pop up window as it applies the changes to all the sub-folders. If the problem still persists, verify that you have full control over the iTunes folder. To do this, right click the folder again, go to properties, then security, and finally click edit and then full control and apply. Once this is done, you should be able to head back into iTunes and sync your device again without an issue.
Ping for the Windows 10 list. . .
My experience. Windows has more error codes than the IRS has conservative targets
Indeed
We don’t need no stinkin’ syncin’ here.
Way simple. Your Personal Computer is no longer yours.
My fix is Windows 7 and let everyone else play guinea pig.
Really, they screwed up one of the most common programs on home networks?
That’s some bug testing, right there.
Step 6 - go to Apple Store
Step 7 - Buy Macbook pro
Step 8 - sync music
Installed Windows 10 on my laptop. I will not install it on my primary desktop pc. It did not update well on the laptop plus it is slower then the Windows 7 I had on the laptop.
The Start button would not work when clicked on plus I received this error on most anything else I wanted to open.
“This app can’t open, your trial period for this app has expired”
The fix after doing many searches the fix was fairly simply. Right click on the Start button and click on Run then type:
SFC /SCANNOW
This fixed the issue. I was seeing Windows 7 dialog boxes. In short Windows 10 is another shell over Windows 7/Vista/XP....
You can use Start10 http://www.stardock.com/products/start10 or get themes here for your own look. Most look to be for XP or 7 for now: http://www.stardock.com/products/themes/
The new IE called Edge is different so if you want you can switch to IE11. Go to the “C” drive then Program Files then Internet Explorer folder then create a shortcut to the desktop by dragging iexplore.exe icon onto the desktop by holding down your right mouse button then let go once on the desktop. I use Firefox.
A positive is sharper text. But alas you cannot change the font or color of the text. See bottom of page. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller/?v=t
I use a 3rd party program called Iconoid http://www.sillysot.com to change the font color. You cannot pick other solid background colors other then the small selection Microsoft offers you. A work around is to google “solid colors” and pick out an image you find then save it then use it as a background.
Photos & folders open slower. I know there will be issues but if you are curious then backup your hard drive to an external hard drive with free software like Aomei Backupper http://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-backupper.html

Taking features and customizations away = less is more. Stupid.
New and improved prime rib steak, same price, now with less weight.
*yawn* What’s iTunes?
I’ve had an iPhone 4s for 3+ years. Works fine. No music on it. Any apps I just downloaded from the App Store. What purpose does iTunes even serve?
Ping for Win10 later.
Thank you
Does iTunes on Windows allow you to back up your phone (contacts, apps, other documents) like it does on a Mac? If so, I'd think you'd want to do that even with no music.
Meh. I have nothing on my phone I care about. I’m not a “mobile” person. I prefer big iron and local desktops to mobile and cloud tech. My phone serves as a phone and text. I do very little else with it.
