I've just bought an iPad2 which requires a newer version of iTunes than the one I currently have on my 6 year old macbook. How can I get my old itune to my ipad?
I bought my macbook about 6 years ago and I also have a first generation iPod Touch. The version of iTunes I have on my macbook is out of date for the iPad2 I just purchased. What is the easiest way i can get my iTunes upgraded so that I can connect my iPad2 to it? Is it by upgrading my OS?
Yes. Check what version of OS X you have by going to your Apple menu (top left) and clicking About This Mac. It'll likely be 10.4 or 10.5, something like that. It's good to update your profile here on the Communities, too (you've specified 10.0.x, which is archaic in OS X terms).
If your MB is 6 years old, it's probably too old for Lion, but may be able to run Snow Leopard.

I just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get ack in. Got this message "The iTunes library .9tl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." How can I get back ino iTunes ?
I actually figured it out...I had to go to the iTunes Library Extras.itdb file and give myself permission to have full control. THEN, I could go and estore a previos version. Once I had done this, I got the same message for iTunes Library Genius.itdb . . . I did the same thing with it and Voila'!!
Hope this helps...

I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!
Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

I just bought a 4s. I attached it to my computer and it automatically added all my IPOD TOUCH information to it! I lost the call button, and have ZERO contacts!
Help! I am so darn fustrated!!!!!!Sorry, if you reset your Sync Key your data was deleted from the Sync server. Your data is gone.
Mozilla keeps just one "copy" of your data, there are no backups made to be "restored" if the user makes a mistake such as this. Plus, the Sync service isn't made for or intended for "backing up" your data for the purposes of restoring that data after a format of a PC. Yes, some users do that, but "you" need the Sync Key or you're SOL, as now. Mozilla didn't intend Sync to be used in that manner. -
I just bought an ipad2 which I love. I want to use my cell as a hotspot, but do not have iPhone. A friend is willing 2 give me an older one. With the right data plan, will it work as well as The newer iPhones? The older phone will save me money by avoiding long cell service contract.
Any phone that generates a hopspot will work, as long as you have a plan that supports tethering. Doesnt need to be an i phone.

I lost my iphone 4, got a iphone 5 and try to restore the iphone info from my laptop. But the itune requires a password, which I forgot (I set this up two years ago!). How can I get into my itune to restore the iphone info.
Go to appleid.apple.com and try to login there. If unsuccessful, there is a link to change your password.

How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini?
How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini, which is already in the iTunes File?
Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.
When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi, I rented a movie off iTunes but the there is no sound. I've bought and rented previous movies and I've never had any problems with the sound before. Is this some kind of glitch? How can I get my money back?
Hey grossa2,
First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Then, I'd go through this article, which helps troubleshoot a lack of audio playback in iTunes:

My MacBook Pro doesn't accept CDs or DVDs anymore, but it did when I bought it 2 years ago. How can I get it to read disks again?
My quess is that the new software just doesn't allow the disk drive to work. I would love an explanation why this doesn't work and some help getting it to work. It's really frustrating because I get a bunch of CDs from work and never get to listen to them on my MacBook.Make sure the discs are free of finger prints. The optical drive cannot read a disc with smudges and dust.
Check Finder > Preferences > General
Make sure: CDs, DVDs, and iPods, is selected. -

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?
In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion. -

You can use the Photos app to view photos, slideshows, and videos on your TV with
any of the following:
Apple Component AV Cable
Â
Apple Composite AV Cable
Â
Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable (iPod touch 4th generation)
Â
Apple VGA Adapter and a VGA cable

The Digital AV Adapter supports high-definition video up to 720p with audio.
The Guide also says the Video app can use TV out.
