I tried to update itunes and now my ipod is not recognized in itunes or on my computer. It will only show a picture of the usb cord going into itunes and it won't do anything else. How do I make it work and what happened?

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • I downloaded the newest version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't work.  What should I do?

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't work properly.  What should I do to try to fix this?  Should I uninstall the new version and if I do, what version should I install.  I am using Windows 7 and iPhone 4S.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    They are different problems because I doubt that iTunes has been able to modify Mail, that has nothing to do with iTunes.
    As you are running 10.7.4, download and install OS X 10.7.5, the most recent Lion version > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1582 After installing the update, you should be able to run Mail

  • I installed ios 7.1.1 on iphone 4s and now my phone won't work. what do i do to make it work?

    My iphone is 4s. Yesterday at 5am i found the software update 7.1.1 & there wasnt anything that said that this update for iphone 5 or more, so i installed it, but imy phone kept showing me that sign connect with the itunes thing, and i did connect, and so it kept cracking ever second, and now i dont know whether it's installed or not but everytime i open itunes ( connected with my phone ). This i what it tells me ( iPhone Recovery Mode. Your iPhone software is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again 5/1/2014. ) & the only choice i have to click on is RESTORE iPhone. and when i do restore, it tells me restore and update and then i am like forced to restore and update ios 7.1.1 when it's not even available for my device. Now my phone keeps shutting down and when it opens, it only shows the apple sign and then a wire as if telling me to connect to iTunes. My phone has been like that for almost two days now. I went to 3 apple stores near me, the apple experts werent there. & then i went to a shop & the man there asked for 160 LE for updating a software on my phone :/. Why should i pay when it's honestly apple's fault that they didnt say that this update was for only iphones 5 or whatever, why do i even get the update on my iphone 4s when there's clearly no escpae from this "Recovery Mode" and no help from anyone?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • I updated my iPod and my perchased apps won't work, what's wrong with it?

    I just updated my iPod touch to iOS 6.1.2 and I wanted to download an app that I've perchased a long time ago, we'll I forgot the name of the app and I went to my purchased apps and it doesn't load my perchased apps, it kicks me off every time. CAN THIS BE FIXED?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Updated itunes and now my imac won't start

    tried unplugging peripherals, safe reboot, start from disk, and start while holding control+option+p+r
    nothing

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

    Thanks

    hi culatone!
    ... the curse of the Packard Bells strikes again ...
    the treatment from the following MS KB doc has been working for the disappearing optical drives on Packard Bells (even new ones which have never had those versions of Easy CD Creator or InCD installed on them). the Packard Bell versions of this typically show the "code 41" error message in Device Manager:
    (MS) CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • I installed iTunes and now my screensaver won't work.  Windows 7.  I have uninstalled iTunes and all the extras that came with it.

    screensaver wont' work after installing iTunes

    You could try this...
    Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
    cmd /k assoc .scr scrfile
    Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
    In principle that should restore the correct file association for screensaver files.

  • Battery died and now my 4s won't recharge - what's wrong?

    My iphone 4s was at 1% so I turned it off and put it on my car charger.  it wouldn't charge.  then I borrowed someone else's charger and it still wouldn't charge.  went home and tried my home charger, still no luck.  What's going on?  why won't it recharge?  What can I do?

    If it does not show charging on any of those chargers, it could be a problem with the dock connector.  Easy solution is take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs inspect it and test it to see if something is wrong with the connector or battery or charging circuit.

    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character

    I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character.
    The folder where everything is stored isnt even called My Music, it is just called Music.
    I gave up on trying to update my itunes and removed it and am trying to re-download but receive the same message. Now I have no itunes on my computer at all.
    Short or wiping my computer and starting again I have no ideas left.
    Please help!

    That message isn't referring to the location of the music, it's referring to the location of the iTunes programme.
    So the message is either referring to the download location or the folder it is trying to install the programme in. I think (I wouldn't put money on this) that invalid characters will be things such as * ^ % and so on. When you get the message, look for the location that your computer is trying to use. Are there any strange characters in the "file path" that your computer is using?

  • Trying to update iTunes and i get an error message saying something about "invalid signature". Help?

    Trying to update iTunes and i get an error message saying something about "invalid signature". Help?

    " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do  make a cd case cover or list of songs?

    I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

    beggsc54,  There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1.  If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.
