I have the exact same issue. I havent found our what is causing it either. Multaple re-install attempts with no success. I have to use Windows Media Center to burn audio discs. Any other advice?

did you try to sync your iPod again?

HT1495 I am a teacher and we all have the same itunes account for school. I started downloading apps and it was downloading on others' ipads too. I shut off all the syncing on my ipad but other teacher are saying they still getting my stuff. What do I/th

I don't know if they just got my stuff from before and are just seeing it now or if they still are getting my information. I don't have anything to hide but it's awkward knowing other people are seeing all you are downloading and even messaging. I want to talk to them more and know exactly when and where they are receiving the information but I haven't yet. I talked with one teacher and she thought they just have to turn off the syncing or automatic downloads on their ipads. Will that stop it?

Turning off automatic downloads will stop the other iPads from getting your downloads. You should all do this on each of your iPads.
Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads>Off.... Music, Apps and Books - All Off.
As far as Messaging, if you are all using the same Apple ID, you will all receive the same messages because Messages uses the Apple ID email address as the means by which you are contacted. Apparently all of the devices were set up with the Apple ID, which is fine, but you should all associate a new email address on each device where you can be reached. One device can keep the Apple ID as the contact address.
Settings>Messages>Send and receive>Add another email address.
Add your own unique email addresses in there. Apple will verify those addresses. Go to the inboxes of those email addresses and read the email from Apple. Follow the instructions in the email in order to finish the verification process.
Then go back to Settings>Messages>You can be reached by iMessage at ..... and remove the Apple email address from all but one of the iPads. Or you can just uncheck the Apple email address as the contact address, select the new email address, and check the correct email address as the "start new conversations from"
You will now all have your own email addresses as the address at which you can be contacted with the Messages app.

HT1539 My computer shut off during the download and now it says my code has been used but it did not download to my iTunes, is there another way to download it?

Can someone please tell me what to do if I was downloading a digital copy of a dvd from and website and my computer turned off in the middle...now it tells me the code has already been used but it did not download, ugh.
Thanks

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

I have an I phone 4S and I usually back it up threw I Cloud but since my phone is pretty old and has been shutting off on me I decided to back it up in I tunes. I connected the phone and clicked Back Up Now. When it was done I picked up the phone and tried to open an app and discovered that all of my apps have been restored as if I had just down loaded them from the app store. So I lost all progress on them. Is there anything I can do to change it back? And I don't understand what I did wrong.

This means the iPhone has not been connected or synced with your computer since the passcode lock was enabled on the iPhone and too late now.

I have two 30 GB iPod's, B&W. But only on will work with iTunes.

Only one of my iPod's will work with iTunes
And I cannot use my other one, because I can't transfer the music on the white iPod on iTunes to the black one.
Any answers? :<

Are both iPods connected at the same time?

While doing the Restore the "connect to Itunes Image is still on my phone and has not shut off or changed since starting the REstore. Now Itunes status bar says "Processing File" but has not changed or done anything for 15+ minutes. What do I need to do? Let it go or is it not working???? FYI, I tried to update to the 6.0.1 (I believe thats this update)

This was the third Restore I've attempted today.... 'm not sure what all I did including unplugging and plugging it back in, and messing with tryign to select my phone vs. my husbands but it starting moving again. It's now attempting to "back up" from ICloud... we'll see. Thanks

While shopping through my iTunes app my iPad shuts off, my ideas why and how I can fix it?

When I shop using the iTunes app for movies,tv shows etc... My iPad just inexplicably shuts off. Any ideas why or how I can stop this from happening?

Quit iTunes.
Use Disk Utility and select the drive if you can, then select Erase and the middle or security option zero all data option (will delete all data of course).
When that's finished, use iTunes to restore it.
That's how I fixed mine. Make sure it's charged up first, the Mac ports sometimes cut the power off.

Can't re-download any purchased apps//app store constantly shuts off in the middle of searches.

After iOS 6 update--cant redownload any previously purchased apps from app store. App store constantly shuts off when in the middle of searches.

It happens to me almost every time but if you hold the power/sleep button and the home button for about 10 seconds to do a hard reset it usually works for me. I have an iPod touch 4G with ios6.

Hi oscarqwolf,

Conversion App for mpg to avi (so it will work with iDVD' 08)

I need an app to convert my camera mpg movie clips to avi.
So it will work with iDVD 08.
Not Quicktime Pro
( Can't upgrade without losing the pro features, so looking for an alternative )
Does any one know of an free app?
Thanks

You might as well try MPEG Steamclip as it is free and often recommended here. Their manual says "Exporter features: from MOV, DV, AVI, DIVX, MP4, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MPG, VOB, (. . .and a number of others) to MOV, DV, AVI, DIVX, MP4"
I can't speak from personal experience as to whether it will work for your situation.
You should also read Jon Walker's posts from the thread titled "Importing" in the iMovie forum.

You can Purchase iPhoto in the Apps Store...

TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Ok. so I updated to iOS 5. Downloaded it from iTunes and all. But in the middle of installing the iOS, i fell asleep. not knowing my computer was at a low battery charge my computer shut down. I did a DFU already but i'm not sure if it the os is complete.

Restore to factory settings. That will use the latest iOS and then restore from a backup.
Never, never, never attempt an update/upgrade on any portable computer device without plugging it into its AC charger.

Will Safari 5.1.10 work for all versions of 10.6 or just version 10.6.8? If it requires 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Sarari that will work with 10.6.6?

Will Safari 5.1.10 work with all versions 10.6 or does it require 10.6.8? If it does require 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Safari that will work with 10.6.6?
Thanks
Eric

This Mac currently has Safari 5.0.4. Software Update shows a newer version of iTunes and of course the combo updater to 10.6.8 but nothing else. I imagine the 10.6.8 updater contains a later version of Safari but I don't now which version it is and whether it is backward compatible with older versions of 10.6. There are a number of newer versions of Safari: 5.0.5. 5.0.6, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, . . . 5.1.10 to name a few but would any of them work with 10.6.6? In a similar thread a guy asked a similar question to mine: he had 10.6.6 and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari. He tried installing various versions but was rejected each time. He finally asked if there was any newer version of Safari that would install on 101.6.6 - but he never got an answer.
Software Update displayed a newer iTunes but no mention of Safari. I wonder if this indicates that the 5.0.4 Safari that I have is the latest version there is for 10.6.6. Anybodyknow for sure?
TIA
Eric
