Q: I tried recording some tracks and thought it was working. But when I went to I tunes and tried to play them there was no sound. Any suggestions?

I know this is an old post, but thought I would add my two cents. I had the same issue. My computer showed that the item was recorded. I could see the levels on the speakers indicating the track was being played but still had no sound. I tried just unplugging the headphones from the Ion Tape Express per an earlier suggestion, but that didn't work either. I then unplugged the Ion from the computer, and bam! I had I sound. I think as long as the Ion is still connected via USB it is using that for playback. Once you unplug the USB it will play through computer. Hope that helps. I just transferred a track from a home recording that a friend and I did 22 years ago and it came out great!

Q: I installed, and re-installed 3x time today because every time i go to open it,it tells me to install itunes, which i do, over and over. help?!

I had the same problem. It appears that it is trying to install a version of iTunes that is outdated or that the current version of iTunes is not compatible/recognized by this converter. That is why I threw the one I bought in the trash. I did keep the headphones as this is the only useful part of, what is in my opinion, hunk of junk. My advise is to pitch it and consider what you paid an expensive lesson. I know I did.

Q: I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this, Does it have automatic flip so you don't have to turn cassette over?

No it doesn't turn the cassette over automatically. Once placed in the ION the cassettes work from left to right. I find the instruction easy to follow, and once you have transferred side 1 of your tape to your computer, you simply turn take the tape out turn it round and place it back into the ION again follow the instructions again to then copy side 2 to your computer. I am 71 years of age and I find the ION Tape Express really easy to use.

Q: shuts off after a few seconds. How can I fix this?

It has to broken to do that. Send it back and get a replacement. Mine never shut off like that.
