HT5654 I need to update my iTunes but whenever I try it doesn't work, even after it restarts itself.

     I recently purchased an iPhone 5s, and when I plugged it into my macbook pro for the first time my iTunes said it could not connect to the phone because the iTunes needed to be updated to version 11.1 or later. I have 10.7 so I am a bit behind the ball.
     Anyway, when I try to install, a window pops up that says that the new version (11.1.3) is available, and I agree to "Download iTunes."A software updates comes up and it a window loads and checks for new software. Sounds good so far I think. But here's where I run into the problem I think.
     I remember updating iTunes to be a sort of long task full of agreeing to 100 different pop up windows, but this times it brings me to a window that says the software updates are ready, and I agree to Install and Restart. My computer then begind to restart, but doesn't shut off all the way. The screen turns blue and brings me to log into my account, it seems like I have just logged out. When I log in, nothing happens. I open iTunes and it is still version 10.7.
     I need to connnect my phone to the itunes on my computer but it refuses to work. I went through this process three times. Does anyone know what's wrong??
ps. for the record (not sure if this has anything to do with my CPU software not being up to date) my macbook is currently updated to os x 10.6.8.

My computer then begind to restart, but doesn't shut off all the way. The screen turns blue and brings me to log into my account, it seems like I have just logged out. When I log in, nothing happens. I open iTunes and it is still version 10.7.
Sounds like the computer is going through a STOP error (blue screen of death) when it tries to restart, and then reboots to the last known good configuration.
Do you have any better luck if you update using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website?

  • After failed attempt at updating my Iphone4, the phone now says its connected to Itunes but isn't.  Rebooting doesn't work either. Help!

    I tried updating my IPhone 4 this morning to 4.3.3.  It gave me an unknown error and now the phone won't disconnect from Itunes and rebooting it did not solve the problem.  I've researched and cannot find a solution.  I've tried plugging it back into Itunes and nothing happens.

    There is a MAJOR issue with iTunes activation at the moment.
    See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15197891#15197891
    People with iPads, iPods and iPhones are unable to restore and update through iTunes..
    I have a feeling Apple Servers have been hacked or something.
    Call Apple Support and tell them the problem. They will most likely tell you there is something wrong with your phone but tell them to look at the Community Support Forums and to FIX the problem.

  • I have downloaded itunes, but whenever I try to play a song that I have already purchased I get a message that tells me that my computer isn't authorized. How do I authorize it? This is a new computer.

    I have an itunes account with a lot of songs. I just bought a new computer, and whenever I try to play a song that I already paid for it tells me that my computer is not authorized. How do I authorize it? I had a new computer before and never had any problems playing the songs. Please can anyone tell me how to authorize my computer?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • My iPod touch says Disabled: Connect to iTunes, and everytime I try it doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    I changed my password, and without knowing it, I typed the wrong numbers, and now I don't know my password. I've tried to connect to iTunes, but it doesn't seem to work. It only brings up the USB cable needs to be connected to iTunes on my iPod screen. Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's frustrating.

  • Re: I get an error message you have an older version of Bonjour and it cannot be updated. I need to update my itunes but because of bonjour i can't.  please help

    Re: I get an error message when I tried to install the lastest version of itunes.  The error message is you have an older version of Bonjour and it cannot be updated.  I went to control panel and repair the bonjour from programs but it won't let me undate it.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I tried to update my itunes but everytime I try it says the folder the itunes.msi is in is not there, what do I do???

    I looked all over my laptop for the folder but I can find it and I can't uninstall it because it says I need to prove that this file exists? Somebody help?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I updated my iTunes to 10.5, and now it won't open after I restarted my computer.

    I installed the new 10.5 iTunes and resetted my computer, and then I went to go open iTunes and it wouldn't open. I waited for a good 5 minutes thinking maybe my computer was just being slow, but it wasn't. I resetted my computer, and tried doing it again and it still didn't work. I even shut it down and still nothing. I have a Windows XP, it's really old, but I didn't have a problem with the other iTunes before. Can anyone help? :\ I just want to update my iPod.

    Try this, but copy the files that you'll be replacing and put them in another folder in case you need to put them back for some reason:
    -Go to your Documents folder where your iTunes folder is that has these folders: Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
    -Go into the folder that says Previous iTunes Libraries and select the most recent library from before you had problems
    -Copy that file and go back to the previous folder that has Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
    -You're going to replace two different files in the iTunes folder with the file you copied from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder: iTunes Library, and iTunes Library.itl
    -The first copy can be renamed to the same name as the first file, iTunes Library
    -The second copy, which will replace iTunes Library.itl, will be renamed iTunes Library.old
    I had read online to replace only the .itl file, but that didn't work for me, so after playing around, this worked for me and everything was restored.
    I hope this helps

  • HT204053 I changed my AppleID email address because my old address expired, and I can access it on iTunes, but whenever I try to log into iCloud from my MacBook it won't let me sign in under the new AppleID - the old ID keeps showing up. How do I change t

    I changed my AppleID / email address after my old email expired, and now whenever I go to sign into iCloud on my computer it still shows my OLD AppleID in the log-in and it won't let me change it. So I can't sign into iCloud! I can still sign into iTunes though from my iPhone and laptop, but iCloud isn't working anymore, where do I go to update my AppleID in the log-in for iCloud???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
