Oh dear, what's gayTunes done now ;D

I really, really, really, REALLY would urge Windows users to not allow gayTunes anywhere near their PCs.  If you really must use gayTunes, or indeed any Apple software, get a Mac.


I'd look at deleting the thumbnails files, to force Windows to regenerate them.

No luck, Still the same  :(


I don't fancy taking it to a PC repair shop, Last time I did take a laptop it was missing screws, wouldn't switch on after a week or so, Plus they charge way too much..


I'm convinced its been like this since i had my iPhone 5, But It may be nothing to do with it just a possibility..

No I mean an iTunes update fracked up your thumbnails. As TB suggests, try and force windows to re-gen all your thumbnails

Is there a guide somewhere on how to do this without losing what's in my folders ?

Nothing seems to work  >:(


Normally with an issue like this i'd Restore the computer like new, Which would take all day to get things back in place even then theres no guarantee that would work once i connect the iPhone again..

OK, uninstall gayTunes, delete all the thumbnail files, see what comes back.

Never, ever, ever reinstall gayTunes. If you need gayTunes, buy a Mac.

delete thumbnail files, Won't that mean losing my pictures/documents etc ?

I need iTunes for backing up my iPhone iCloud doesn't work since iOS 6 ...

Of course not, why would it? Since when does deleting a thumbnail cache remove your documents  ???

Delete the thumbnails files, not the folders.

You need to find another way to back up the phone. gayTunes will only ever cause problems on PCs, like all crApple software.
