Upgrading to iTunes9 from iTunes 8.2.1

I wanted to know if my music would be deleted from my Libary if I upgrade to iTunes 9. Also I am not getting the Upgrade to iTunes 9 message when I open iTunes, and also will upgrading to iTunes fix my importing and buring of CDs and DVDs which states they are missing.

I would wait before upgrading to iTunes9, from past experiences I'll wait till the bugs are fixed and no one is having any issues. It's another reason why I havn't converted over to Snow Leopard just yet. There is no hurry to update anything that you might have any concerns.

  • Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. when l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Pls help

    Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

    Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

  • ITunes Plus Upgrade--No help from iTunes Support

    I appologize for this lengthy post. Believe me I have more to the story, but want to keep it as short as possible. Bottom line is I'm looking for help with iTunes plus upgrade please.
    My specific problem is getting customer support to upgrade my old iTunes songs iTunes to iTunes plus so I can use them on our new Sonos player. It’s now been almost a week since this issue arose and there has been no help in getting my problems solved. My main problem is that there is no telephone customer support for iTunes. All of the support for iTunes is now done online through emails. That is a huge issue in my mind, but not the purpose for this post.
    Here is my problem..
    I have two iTunes accounts. Account # 1 was my primary account until 2008/09 time frame when I switched from a PC to Macbook Pro. I have 314 songs from 2006-08 that were purchased on Account #1 that I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes Plus. Account #2 is now my primary iTunes account. The Account #2 songs are all iTunes plus and do not need upgrading. I now have all the purchases from both accounts on my Mac Mini serving as a HTC, but the old iTunes DRM songs cannot be played on Sonos until they get upgraded.
    My issue solely relates to my old songs on Account #1. I have been trying to upgrade my account 1 songs since last Thursday. My iTunes store account is currently logged into Account 1 when attempting the updgrade. When I first made the purchase, I got the on screen message that I’d get an email with instructions to complete the purchase. Well three days passed and I never got the email. I also noticed that my purchase of $104 showed up as three “pending” credit card charges on my bank account records. This seemed odd so I called Apple for help. Big mistake!!!!!
    When I attempted to call Apple Support I was continually given to “technical support” for either my Macbook or Mac Mini. They never listened to what I was saying. In fact one rep told me I would need to pay the $39 fee for technical support on my issue!!!! Finally, after speaking to three different individuals one of the “tech support” reps was able to contact an iTunes support rep. Note, that I could not speak to them, rather it was strictly apple employee to apple employee. I was placed on hold for thirty minutes while they worked on my issue. After thirty minutes I was told to go to the iTunes store and start over. I went to iTunes store and completed the purchase again. Shortly thereafter, I received an email response from iTunes saying:
    Dear Tom,
    Your iTunes Plus music upgrade could not be successfully completed because there was a problem with one of the items that was to be upgraded. Please return to your Upgrade My Library page and click Buy and your upgrade should be processed successfully. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.
    Sincerely,
    iTunes Store Team
    Based on this email. I went to iTunes store again and tried the purchase….again. I then got the same email response a short time later. I have attempted two other times to buy the upgrades but got no email responses at all. Late Sunday, I called Apple again and also used their online iTunes support page. I got one response late Sunday evening asking a question about error messages, I answered their question by providing them the above iTunes notice. That email late Sunday night was the last communication I've recieved from iTunes support. It’s now three days later and I’m still waiting to hear back from someone at iTunes support. All I want to do is spend 104 dollars to upgrade my 300+ songs, but no one at Apple seems to care.
    I am really disappointed in Apple’s customer service. I’ve been a fan of Apple for quite some time, between my wife and I, we have 6 Apple products in our home. The lack of customer support is really disgraceful.
    Anyone have any ideas.

    This is a follow up. Finally, after almost 72 hours, I recieved another email from the original iTunes support representative. According to her, the problem is that one or more of my songs on the account are either not eligible for the upgrade or the file is corrupted and can not be upgraded. In short I cannot use the "Buy All" feature because I will always hit this roadblock. The only way to resolve this, is to upgrade each song individually or select a few songs at a time to upgrade.
    I will have to do this until I get the song or songs that is causing the problem. Once I have identified the song(s), I can chose to repurchase them and get a refund. All songs today are at the DRM free format so repurchased songs will automatically be the upgraded file.
    So I'll now begin the upgrade of the 314 songs. I guess it could be worse.
    Okay, I got an answer and an offer of a refund, but this answer certainly could have been provided three days ago. Am I being unreasonable?

  • Upgrade error message from itunes, it downloads for 20 minutes then at the end gives me an error message saying lost server

    I have tried 4 times to download and sync itunes update to ipod touch. from 3.1.2 to 4.2.  20 min. later it gets to the end an error message pops up saying lost connection and no update.

    Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

  • 3.0 won't download from iTunes

    Newb question. I bought the 3.0 update (and got a receipt from Apple) but can't download it from iTunes. It shows as available for download but every time I try to download, I get the "iTunes temporarily not available" prompt. Any ideas/help would be appreciated...

    I had the same thing happen to me when I tried to upgrade to 3.0. Then I read on one of the posts that every time you upgrade or anything from itunes it marks your registry, and you had to go in and delete the multiple registry entries, I tried that and still didn't work. Finally I just backed up all the music and stuff, formatted my computer, download itunes 8.1 and did a restore of the 2. whatever software and had no problem restoring after that. But I haven't tried to upgrade to the 8.2 itunes yet or the do the software upgrade of 3.0 again, I figured I would just wait for the bug fixes before I did that again.

  • TS1363 I was upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7.  The iPhone hung.  It is no longer visible by iTunes on Win 7

    While upgrading iPhone OS from 5.1 to 5.1.1 on Win 7 using iTunes 10.6.1.7, the iPhone hung.  I could not get iTunes to find it and Win 7 does not see it.
    When I connect the iPhone to the USB, Win 7 issues the welcome sound, but that is it.  The same happens when I disconnect iPhone.
    The Devise Manager has the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver correct without any problem.  I updated this driver called usbaapl64.
    The iPhone is still hung.
    I restarted the iPod service
    I restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service
    I tried to empty and delete the temp directory in C:\users\myname\AppData\Local\ but could not
    The iTunes I am using is the latest version
    I updated the Apple Mobile Device Driver as stated above correctly
    The iPhone is still hung and is not recognized by Win 7 or iTunes, so I cannot restore the OS to the previous working version
    What else can I do to restore the previous working OS on my iPhone 4

    I was connecting the iPhone 4 to a USB 3.0 port.  I was told by Apple Express Support (at US$29.99) not to use USB 3.0 and to use USB 2.1 instead.
    If you are connecting your iPhone to the computer using a USB 3.0 port, disconnect it immediately.  iPhones will lock up if you try to update while  using a connection through a USB 3.0 port.
    Disconnect the iPhone from the computer
    Go to Device Manager and find the connected USB port.  Click the mouse right button and update the driver
    Shut the iPhone by pressing the sleep button and the home button concurrently for some time
    Move the USB cable to a USB 2.1 port or older without the iPhone.  
    Restart iTunes.
    Connect the iPhone
    Your computer should recognize the phone and reloads the correct USB 2.1 driver (Apple Mobile Device)
    Then iTunes should recognize the iPhone and starts reloading the firmware.
    When that is complete it may ask if you wish to restore, naturally you say YES
    iTunes will restore the iOS
    Using iTunes, restore the latest backup to get your data back.
    When all of the above is completed.  Start enjoying your iPhone.
    If the above does not work.  Throw your iPhone out of the window and get a replacement Android phone.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

    I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play.  Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?

    How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
    Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
    Any help is appeciated.

    All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
    You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
    PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system.

  • Is upgrading from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to 8.2.1 safe?

    I need to upgrade from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to the newest version of 8.2.1.6, using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7. As is the case with many posters, the upgrade tool available through iTunes does not work (this is why I've missed a few upgrades in between). But now I own an iTouch and I want to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.
    Since the upgrade tool on iTunes doesn't work, I have gone to the Apple iTunes Download page at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and clicked the download button. When I get the prompt to save the iTunesSetup Installer, I realize that I already have the iTunes Installer on my computer (from back in May of 2007). Thus, I don't know whether I should run the Installer that I already have on my computer (from 2007) or replace it with the new Installer via the download prompt.
    I'm trying to be very careful here, because iTunes has already crashed on me twice this year, corrupting my library files and forcing me to do all-day recoveries, so I want to make sure I'm proceeding in the safest way possible. I'm especially worried that iTunes may not work, because I've missed some upgrades between versions 7.7.1.11 and 8.2.1.6.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    FYI: It looks as though I was able to update my iTunes from version 7.7.1.11 to the new 9.0. I did it from the Apple download page and I clicked the Run button instead of the Save button. Now, do I get points for answering my own question?
