Auto uploading within itunes offers airport 6.6.1, but it always fails. Any idea why ? Win 7 64

I have had my airport express for 4 years. I'm on Win 7 64-bit. For the last year the update function within itunes suggests airport 5.6.1, but every time I try it, it won't work. It says to do it manually within Airport/ Tools, but when I try that it says I need Win 7 SP1 or newer. My Win 7 is always up to date. There doesn't seem to be an SP1. I tried uninstalling Airport, thinking it needed a clean install, but nothing doing.
My airport express and itunes seem to be working more or less fine anyway (express does drop out occasionally, and itunes crashes occasionally), but the update suggestion is annoying. Any thoughts on why this is coming up, or how to get rid ? Thanks in advance - sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent a few hours googling, and searching this forum.

    Hi,
    Check in Add-ons to see if you have any toolbars installed:
    [[Uninstalling add-ons|Uninstalling add-ons]]
    Because the Ask Toolbar (a custom version I think) is sometimes installed (or offered to be installed) with other programs, such as Foxit Reader.

  • TS3297 Any idea why I can't purchase stuff off either iTunes or AppStore? I am getting a message saying unknown error has occurred immediately I enter my password.

    Brett,
    Well done getting the wireless network secured.
    You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
    As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
    Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
    As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

  • Itunes won't load CDs automatically and I have to restart it everytime to load 1 CD. I have ensured I have latest Itunes, latest DVD driver, start itunes from program library in safe mode but nothing works. Any ideas ?

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

    Hi Karen,
    The means that iTunes can no longer locate the songs (mp3/m4a) on the hard-drive and as such they won't even play in iTunes, let alone transfer to your iPod.
    Have you recently re-organised your music folders? If you know where these songs are on your hard-drive then you could clear all of the tracks that display the symbol from iTunes and then add them again from their location either through the 'add folders to library' function or by dragging and dropping them diectly into iTunes from Windows Explorer.

  • Itunes crashes when iTunes Match runs its Step 3 (not before) - any ideas why and how to fix it?

    Every time iTunes runs the iTunes Match, when iTunes MAtch gets to Step 3 - iTunes stops working - ie crashes. Any idea why and how to fix it? The songs are still uploaded to iCloud etc... but it crashe iTunes every single time

    I cannot explain the failure, but I can tell you that I have a string of approx. 24 emails with Apple and a combined 10hrs of talk time with Apple customer reps that tried helping me precisely for the issue that iTunes Match would crash at Step 3 without fail. Apple even logged my Console and I was talking to an engineer that literally wrote part of the code for iTunes Match (that was the fourth and last level of customer care I was escalated to). The poor man almost quite his job, and I just about demanded a refund for my $25, since iTunes Match simply wasn't working.
    Then I studied at a friend's place, and I noticed that all of a sudden, while iTunes was running in the background, half my library was already uploaded and things were progressing smoothly. It turns out that it had something to do with my modem specifically, as I had already hooked up my computer straight to the modem, taking the router (TimeCapsule) out of the equation. Nothing worked. Firewalls were turned off, no AntiVirus existed, and Apple engineers tried everything possible, incl. remote access on my computer, to get this to work. Nothing worked as long as I was connected to a Motorola Surboard.
    At every other network, wether at Starbucks, my university, or at friends places, however, iTunes Match worked flawlessly.
    After some research online, it turnes out that a handful of people with Motorola Surrboard Xtreme cable modems had similar issues. Eversince, I simply use my neighbors wifi should I need to upload songs, and I have no issues. Oddly enough, matching (not uploading) works just fine with my Motorola.
    Don't ask me how or why, I am interested in computers and work with them a lot, but I am no engineer. I can tell you that simple scientific method pinpointed to the modem, and I haven't had issues since then.

  • TS1646 My credit card works on iTunes on my PC but not on my iPhone 5 iTunes/App Store account. Any ideas why?

    I am using the same credit card, and when I download an app on my PC in iTunes it loads fine, but using the same card on my iPhone 5 it declines any purchases. I have checked the card, re-entered it and checked the billing zip code. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Hi nezniezken!
    First of all, Explicit tags will only appear if your music or song is downloaded via itunes on ur idevice or itunes app.
    For example, your friend downloaded a song from itunes with an explicit content and you get or copied it to transfer to your idevice also... itunes application (pc or mac) will read it as an explicit one, but in your idevice it will not, unless you log in the apple id email account your friend used to download or buy the song to your idevice and download the purchased song. in that case u'll get the explicit tag
    Using metadata, mp3tags, or any softwares that adds "explicit tag" will only be read by Itunes app. but not on your idevice.
    Ways to check if you have a purchased music or song from itunes.
    1. All music from Itunes are M4a or AAC file.
    2. There should be a "Purchased By" and "Purchased Date" including the "Email (apple id account) and name" used for downloading the said song or music.
    (Right click the song from your library, Click Get Info and you should see it.)
    *If you have a friend telling he/she has a song bought from itunes and it is an explicit one, you will know the truth. If it has Explicit tag on his/her idevice then its bought from itunes, but if not.... he/she is lying.
    *If your friend bought a song from itunes and you tried to copied it (an explicit song for example) you will also see the "PURCHASED BY" PURCHASED DATE" "EMAIL AND NAME" etc. but u will not see the Explicit tag once you put it in your idevice, but itunes app will read it as an explicit one,
    There are many sites that are doing piracy, meaning... they are buying the song/album from itunes then upload it over the internet so other people may download it.
    I hope i helped you nezniezken!

  • Itunes 11 sorts album under different artists name in the artist view - any idea why?

    I have just be kindly given the Maroon 5 Holiday gift via 12 days (thanks iTunes).  I also have their album 'songs about Jane' and a track from a Rihanna album which is a Maroon 5 track featuring Rihanna but issued on the Rihanna album.
    When sorted by Album the Maroon 5 albums and Rihanna track are sorted together under Maroon 5.
    However, when sorted by Artist the artist for the Album 'Songs about Jane' is being shown as Rihanna (?) but when I check the 'Get Info' data Maroon 5 are clearly shown as the Album Artist.  The holiday gift and the Rihanna track are shown under the artist Maroon 5.
    Wierd ... any ideas why and how to correct?

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

    Do a reset of everything on your ipod. Then reconnect it and it should work.
