ITunes is giving me a headache.........

I tried to download the new iTunes and quicktime but this message came up: Quicktime installation failed Error Code : - 3 What's going on? I can't open iTunes because of this..........

Hi Albert,
Please provide as much detail as possible. You have a 4th generation iPod, so should we assume you've had iTunes install previously?
You may try to uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime completely before installing. As well, people have had greater success installing QuickTime from the Standalone installer (after the iTunes installer completes).
From your post, it sounds like you're running the install right from the download. Try saving the download to disk first, and then run the installer from that.
Last, you may want to grab the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (search Google) and see if that helps any.
Be sure to exit all other applications and turn off virus and spyware scanners during the installation. If you're concerned about security, unplug the Internet during the install.

    Hello Makiaveli,
    It sounds like you are getting this error code when you are trying to access the iTunes Store.
    I found this article with this error listed in the symptoms section, for you that should help troubleshoot the issue named:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    Resolution
    The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
    To find the LSP:
    Download Autoruns for Windows from Microsoft
    Look for Autoruns.ZIP and open the compressed folder.
    After reviewing the contents and the license, drag autoruns.exe to the desktop.
    Open Autoruns.
    Click on the tab that says Winsock Providers.
    A list of items should appear. A column showing the publisher should be available.
    For items other than Bonjour, which is from Apple, check with the publisher for updates to resolve the conflict between their software and Apple software.
    If the publisher is unfamiliar to you, you may be able to use the table below to find out more information about the origin of the modifications to Windows.
    Some of the publishers and programs that are known to have versions with a conflict are listed below:

    Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you should check for updates. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information. 
    Bytemobile is usually associated with cellular data connection software. You may want to check if your provider has instructions to disable or uninstall that portion of the software, such as these instructions from AT&T.
    Note:  If unsure on the origin of your LSP, you may try to locate vendor information to determine which software is responsible for the non-default value here.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
    You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

  • Importing CDs to iTunes in Mountain Lion:  iTunes is giving all Classical Albums the same title???

    We have started importing our hundreds of CDs into iTunes.  Problem is, iTunes is giving every Classical CD the same title, copying the title of the first Clasical CD we imported.  Any suggestions?

    Hey there,
    Since, the CD is a greatest hits CD, the first thing you may or may not want to do is check to see if it marked as part of a compilation. To do this, highlight each track of the album (or one at a time if you prefer ) and control->click and choose Get Info from the menu.
    When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is no check mark next to "part of a compilation." Then hit OK when you are finished, if you have made any changes.
    If that is not the case, I would retype the name of the album in for all 14 tracks at once and see if that helps.
    Lastly, if still no luck, I would check out this comprehensive post from turingtest2 on grouping albums together. Hope this helps.

    +Do a DFU recovery:+

    +2. Connect the iPhone+
    +3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
    +4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
    +5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.
