Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    Anyone know how to fix this? Every reference I have found is old, nothing recent like Lion or newest ver of iTunes.
    Help Please!

  • HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop?

    I solved MY corrupt firmware file problem!
    A little background- I deleted all Apple, iPod, and QuickTime software from my desktop PC and reloaded iTunes for the (I don't know how many) time. Same thing! Downloaded it again and used the "erase iTunes" option then reloaded again and had the same result. I then cranked up my old laptop and when I got to the Apple website, I was offered an opportunity to download QuickTime and took it. It came with iTunes if I wanted, so I took that too. After the download, I plugged in the Nano and it restored to Windows format. I did not want it to sync to the laptop, so I took it to the desktop and was able to sync with Nano and downloaded my tunes. TALK ABOUT HOKEY!
    WHY does the restore program have to be resident on MY PC or MAC anyway? Seems like I could just as simply download a current copy from Apple every time I want to restore.
    WHY doesn't Apple do something about this problem and let users know about the solution? Do they not want to grab a share of the Windows business? Here is an excellent opportunity!
    Now for my question.
    HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop? I now know it works! Is there a hidden file or folder I should delete before I make my next attempt to cleanup and download? Why isn't this information public?
    I spent over 30 years in the DP industry. PC is not my area of expertise, but this must be the most frustrating experience of my years.
    desktop   Windows XP  

    I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
    Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

  • Can't get a secure connection to the iTunes store

    Hey, been trying to connect to iTunes store for 4 months now. It used to work on my computer but now it says there's a problem getting a secure connection to the iTunes store. Its not the firewall or the network. Have tried: removing AVG, flushing dns, emailing apple, updating iTunes, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, changing to a new wireless network, but nothing worked. Have looked at all the pages of possible errors for windows but can't find anything that works.
    Any ideas? My computer used to have Norton 360 on it but it was deleted. Could there possibly be some files remaining that are preventing a connection to the iTunes store?
    Here's the error message part..

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if you are then able to access the iTunes store.

  • How do I get a free app from the US store as it's not in the UK store and it says my UK id is not valid?

    how do I get a free app from the US store, as it's not in the UK store, and it say my id is not valid when I swich stores?

    To be able to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that it be added to the UK store, but unless the app's developer agrees to it then Apple won't be able to put it in the UK store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

  • Corrupted episode, how do I get a new one from the iTunes store?

    I have bought a season pass for a show my wife and I regularly watch. This is in AppleTV format. I have been really happy with the quality of the picture and sound. Recently, one of the episodes started to stutter and then it froze and I got the message that it could not be played on ATV because it was in a format not recognized. How would I go about getting that episode replaced by the ITunes Store? It was a good one too..............
    Thanks

    Reboot the ATV and try it again. If it still won't play correctly, find the file in your iTunes store purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" link, and report it to iTunes store support.
