Can I download iTunes on one computer and then install/update it on another

Hi. My home computer (where I use iTunes) is connected to Satellite Internet, which limits my daily bandwidth. This means I can't download large update files (like iTunes) unless I do it during the middle of the night.
So, is it possible to download iTunes on my office PC, burn the file to CD, copy it to my home computer, and then run it to install the update?
I want to be sure it will simply UPDATE iTunes versus doing a clean install where I'd lose all my songs/settings/etc. My fear is that the version I download on my office PC would be a full install, whereas the version I would download through iTunes Update would be an different "update version."
Thanks for any help on this.

I was about to post the *same exact* question. I cannot connect to the internet, but I need to update iTunes to use my new iPod. I have downloaded the iTunes 8 install, and uploaded it into my computer. However, I want to make sure it UPDATES iTunes, versus a clean install.
I have a question regarding Niel's answer: you say the library and settings will remain the same: will I lose my PLAYLISTS from my iTunes 7?? I am worried about losing my songs, but I also REALLY don't want to have to rebuild all of my playlists from scratch~!
Thanks~
Bill

Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?

You can install it on as many computers that you personally own. But if you have several then you may want to avoid having to download it multiple times:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Downloading Itunes to new computer and then synching Iphone

I got a new computer and I downloaded the newest version of Itunes and when I connect my Iphone to synch, it will only synch to the computer the items I bought from Itunes and will not synch the items I downloaded and didn't purchase through Itunes. How do you synch everything from your Iphone to the the new computer with the newly dowloaded Itunes?

Here read this article and pay attention to what Zevoneer wrote. This should help you.

Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?

I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation. I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system. My questions are:
(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
Yes. See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
Songs prices vary. Any where from free to a couple of dollars. You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped. That's about all I will offer though.
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How do i download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer(32-bit)?

How do I download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer (32-bit)? The download page automatically detects my computer as 64-bit, but I want to download the installer for a different computer that is 32-bit.

I ended up changing the user agent reported by my web browser to fool the website into thinking I was using a different web browser. On Google Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-I to open the Developer Tools, then click the gear in the lower-right corner of the window. Check "Override User Agent" then select "Internet Explorer 7" from the drop-down.
Once upon a time, you could download the 32-bit version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/, but the download link hasn't been updated recently and points to an old version of iTunes.
If, like me, you think Apple should provide a link to the 32-bit version from the main download page, I would recommend giving Apple your feedback.

How many times can the photoshop code be used? Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

Basically the title explains my question. How many times can the photos hop code be used? Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

You're allowed two installations/registrations. Anything above that requires deregistration on one of those computers.
Take note that if this is Photoshop CC, it's as easy as signing out on a system; there aren't any serial numbers involved as it's all tied to your Adobe ID.
