Hello, Jdragone. 
Thanks for the question.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

  • My ipod touch is on but is not bright enough i try to turn it off but it wont work what should i do?

    my ipod touch is on but is not bright enough i try to turn it off but it wont work what should i do?

    Did you make sure that the brightness is turned up to max in Settings/Brightness?
    Is anything covering the brightness sensor?
    Brightness
    Screen brightness affects battery life. Dim the screen to extend the time before you need to recharge iPod touch, or use Auto-Brightness.
    Adjust the screen brightness: Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider.
    Set whether iPod touch adjusts screen brightness automatically
    Go to Settings > Brightness and turn Auto-Brightness on or off. If Auto-Brightness is on, iPod touch adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor.
    page 103, ipod touch user guide 5
    See if you can fix it by resetting the device.
    To reset, hold the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device:

  • My computer does not start up all the way

    When i start my computer up, it goes through all the steps, but my hard drive never loads and just the wallpaper and the spotlight show up. I have to force quit and start the computer in safe mode and then restart the computer to get it to start all the way. Is there any thing that can be done so that my computer starts right all the time the first time?

    Greetings and welcome.
    Try booting from the system install CD/DVD by putting the disk in the drive and starting up while holding down the c key.
    After boot-up find the Disk Utility, either on the desktop or under the Apple menu. Select your startup drive and the repair permissions on that drive. See if that helps.

  • After stalled software update, my iBook will not start up all the way.

    Here's my problem:
    I was almost done with software update when the process seemed to stall for no apparent reason. The software update status screen said my iBook was 67% done with hard drive optimization, and stayed in this state for 15-20 minutes. The computer itself was not frozen, however, so I forced quit and tried to restart the machine.
    On the restart, however, I couldn't get out of the gray screen with a status circle made up of small rectangles. I tried to force restart, but the situation did not improve.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.
    -Aaron

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Aaron
    Force quit in the middle of an installation spells "trouble". Try starting the computer in Safe Mode. If successful, restart the computer and see if it fully boots. If not, you more than likely have directory damage that needs to be repaired. Disk Utility may be up to the task.

  • TS1424 itunes is saying i cant connect to itunes because im locked out with my passcode but my display screen is broken and i cant see anything but my phone works, what should i do? i want to back up my phone before i upload my new one! help me please

    im locked out of itunes because i need to put my passcode in but my display screen is broken. i dont know how to fix it because im tying to back up my old iphone but i cant without putting in my passcode.

    If you have synced the device on a computer in the past, you can back it up without the passcode. If you have not synced/backed up the device before, then you are out of luck. No way to back it up or sync it without the passcode.
