Why does itunes say the entry point is not found
why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?
Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
"After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Why does iTunes say "Disc burner or software not found"
When I try to burn a CD using my internal CD/DVD combo drive, I get a message that says "Disc burner or software not found". I just upgraded to iTunes 6.0.1. The local Mac store couldn't get iTunes in 2 G5s and a G4 Powerbook to recognize the disc buners either, and they just upgraded to 6.0.1 too. Is this a bug?? Anyone else having problems??

Why does iTunes say This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.
Why does iTunes keep telling me This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift cards, when I can automatically purchase music?
I had the same problem. Then after trying many times, it suddenly let me buy a gift certificate, but now I get the message again. I have contacted support via express lane and had no answer in many days.....

Internet Connect..why does it say "The selected device is not available"..?
Hi guys,
Can you help? I am using BT Broadband in the UK via a wireless router. However, every time my computer wakes up from sleeping an Internet Connection window pops open and says "The selected communications device is not available. Please check your settings" or something to that effect.
Why does it do this and how can I stop it? My airport works just fine and automatically connects to the broadband.....
Thanks

Why does itunes say my sim card is not supported?
i have an at&t iphone i just picked up from the apple store yesterday with original at&t sim card that was working until after i restored my phone. This is the 4th iphone this has happened to in the last month. i wanted to restore my iphone 4 to factory setting so i could set up as new iphone. i put a previous back up on it before. what is going on? a restore should not be rendering the sim reader in the phone useless. yesterday at&t tried 3 different sim cards and they did not work so apple replaced the phone. the third replacement this month. now ill have to take this new phone back. i even tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it. I have a macbook unibody (the last model before it was discontinued) running osx snow lepard
What is happening is that, as iPhone Warrior said, almost certainly your friend mistakenly purchased an iPhone that is locked to AT&T rather than an unlocked iPhone (which Apple only began selling a short time ago in the US) and then hacked the iPhone to bypass the carrier lock. When you updated iOS on the iPhone, that hack was removed and the iPhone then locked back to AT&T.
Restoring the iPhone will not fix this problem. Only the carrier could officially unlock the iPhone, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. The only way to use the iPhone again is to hack (jailbreak) it again, and we cannot discuss that in these forums.

HT4623 why does itunes say sorry your phone can not be updated i have a grey screen?
hi im having trouble with my iphone 4s it goes half way through the process of activation then it stops how can i reset the whole firmware?
Hi sexysimo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like an update or restore on your device didn't complete. See this article for some steps you can try:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?
why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song? and then asks if I want to locate it? I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?
Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens. Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5. -
Why does it say "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel." when trying to install itunes64installer on my b4 bit windows 7 acer pc? Any help would be much appreciated...
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?
Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
