Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

  • 2.2.1 Upgrade and now Itunes freezes when I plug in the phone

    I upgraded yesterday to 2.2.1. A short while later i went to Sync the Iphone 3G to update my music, and Itunes stuck on "Syncing". I had to force quit. I have restarted my Iphone and Mac but as soon as i plug in the Iphone it shows it is syncing on the phone as well as next to the Iphone name in the Itunes window. This then freezes after about 30 secs.
    I managed to quit the Syncing from the Iphone screen and then tried to restore the Iphone. again it just freezes after about 30 secs.
    I tried syncing my old Ipod and this worked fine! So i think it must be the Iphone not Itunes.
    The Iphone still works but just wont talk to Itunes. How can I resolve this please.

    I am also having the same results, but different problem. I can successfully sync my iphone to my computer, but for some reason, certain songs and videos cause my itunes to stop everything and I need to close it. When I uncheck the box next to it to sync, everything works perfectly. This would be fine, but I WANT THOSE SONGS ON MY IPHONE!
    HELP ME!!!!!!

  • Recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6.13 to Firefox 13 - freezes when trying to open

    I've been using firefox 3.6.13 for some time now; the reason I have such an older version is because it's for a work computer, and an upgrade to newer versions generally isn't seamless and can interrupt the process of work.
    Any way, I find some down time and decided that I'd upgrade to the latest version of firefox. Every thing seemed to install fine, and it copied over all of my addons apparently (which I'm grateful for). How ever, when opening up Firefox it opens and displays two tabs saying "connecting", but nothing happens beyond that. It just freezes completely providing the "waiting" icon when hovering over it. I tried waiting 10+ minutes for what ever process was holding up to complete, but nothing happened. In order to close out of firefox I need to kill the process in task manager.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same issue occurs. I tried looking for previous, more stable, versions of firefox but couldn't find any thing.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to upgrade iPod touch software

    I just purchased the iPod upgrade software, the iPhone 2.2 software upgrade. As iTunes is backing up my iPod touch, it freezes before it can finish the job. This has happened 3 times now, and I am still unable to update my iPod version.

    Sorry. I just needed to restart my MacBook.

  • I am running ITunes V 10x. on Windows 7 and iTunes freezes when syncing any of my devices. Does anyone know the solution?

    Problem happens when trying to sync or update any of my devices. iTunes just stays in the first step trying to backup the device (Ipod touch, iphone 3GS, iphone4, ipad and ipad2). I haven't been able to update iphones and ipads to latest OS due to this problem. Does anyoine knows what to do to fix this?

    ok, then that means that something went weird when you imported the music. Try deleting and reimporting the tracks to your itunes library, if you cant get them to import correctly then something might be wrong with the CD or the CD drive.

  • My friend connects his iphone to my itunes for music but now when tries to download an app it asks for my email and password, how to fix this?

    My friend connects his iphone to my computer because i have more music in my itunes library. when he disconnects it and tries to update or download new app it asks for my apple id and not his. Any way to fix this?

    Stop letting him sync his device to your computer.
    He has no legal right to any of the content on your computer.
    Tell this friend to sync his device to his computer, this will remove all content that had been synced from your computer and replace it with content from his computer.
    If he likes the media that you have, you can "gift" him some songs via iTunes or he can purchase it himself.

  • I just downloaded the latest version of itunes for Windows and now itunes crashes every time i launch it

    I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows and now iTunes crashes everytime I launch it.  I have tried re-downloading and selecting Repair with no luck.  Any suggestions?
    thanks

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and I updated iTunes on my PC using Windows 7(64 bit). Now iTunes freezes upon opening and I have to force it to close. Anything I missed along the way?

    A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and iTunes update as well. I use windows7 (64bit). now iTunes freezes at open and I have to force it closed. Anythng I missed along the way?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    See a a version compable with your iPod is available:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    Also, if you have iOS 6.1.6 yo have a 4G (has cameras). A 3G does not have cameras and can only go to 5.1.1
