I get an error message when I try to synch BeaTunes with iTunes that "The RPC server is unavailable". Any advice?</p></div>Jacktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/474863432019-07-31T05:56:26Z2019-07-31T05:56:26Z"The RPC server is unavailable" when trying to synch.<div><p>Hey Jack,</p>
<p>This usually means that for some reason beaTunes cannot talk to your Windows iTunes. Unless you are aware of some configuration that prevents this communication, the first thing I would try is re-installing iTunes so that you can be sure the iTunes automation server is correctly set up.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

I have spent countless hours on iTunes tweaking my library. This is a disaster waiting to happen.</p></div>Jacktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/474863432019-08-01T06:38:27Z2019-08-01T06:38:27Z"The RPC server is unavailable" when trying to synch.<div><p>Yeah... I can understand not wanting to do this.</p>
<p>Usually it's harmless though. All your edits should be stored in your files.<br>
In any case, it's always a good idea to back up your data (in this case the iTunes databases) before you do such a thing.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/474863432019-08-01T06:40:07Z2019-08-01T06:40:07Z"The RPC server is unavailable" when trying to synch.<div><p>Method 1 from <a href="https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/rpc-server-is-unavailable-error-on-windows-10-fixed/">this site</a> may also help.

It just worked. Weird! Thanks for your replies though; really appreciate the support!</p></div>Jacktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/474863432019-08-18T19:45:23Z2019-08-18T19:45:23Z"The RPC server is unavailable" when trying to synch.<div><p>You are very welcome.<br>
Glad it works now (though it is weird).</p>
<p>I'm closing this discussion.</p>
