Can't get iTunes to download new music to Windows XP.

I have a MacBook Air, and iPhone, and an iPad2. iTunes is installed on all three and they are synching just fine. I recently authorized my home computer--running Windows XP--for home sharing. I have iTunes installed, and it has organized all of the music on my computer into the iTunes library. It isn't syncing automatically when I open iTunes. When I go to the iTunes Store, and click on New, it says I need to have the newest version of Safari installed. I downloaded and installed Safari, and it seems to work fine. I rebooted the computer after install, restarted iTunes and tried again, with exactly the same result. I still get the error message saying I need to download Safari. Any thoughts?

Are you using the Apple Software Update program to do this?
Or did you download itunes from this page and choose SAVE (instead of RUN)?

    If you want to transfer your iTunes Media (i.e. Music, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc.) you can just replace the contents of your old Mac's iTunes media folder (User-->Music-->iTunes) with your new Mac's iTunes media folder using an external hard disk, dropbox, etc.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

  • How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music

    I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
    How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
    someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
    Can anyone help me?

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

  • TS1424 Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to download. Checked with clerk at Sam's Club who said that was her experience as well.

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to install. Checked with a clerk at Sam's Club who said it wouldn't install for her either.
    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • I can't get itunes to download to my computer...

    I just recently purchased a new ipod nano and I have tried multiple times and ways of installing itunes 7.4. All times it hasn't completed. It always gets to be nearly the end and then it pops up with an error code and says that you need to have quicktime-which I also already have on my computer. So I proceeded to try and upgrade my quicktime, thinking that might be the issue, but that also wouldn't install, coming up with another error page.
    Does anyone know what I could try or what the problem may be?
    It's frustrating that I have this new ipod and I can't use it because I can't get music on it...
    Thanks!

    If I understand you correctly,
    You have never had iTunes installed on your PC
    You can't install it because of a problem with QUicktime
    You have Quicktime and you can't uninstall Quicktime
    It sounds as though you may need a manual removal of Quicktime followed by an installer cleanup.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime and save them on your desktop
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instruction on the page as well as the download.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove Quicktime (not the other stuff, which I assume you do not have):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    I am guessing that the QUicktime uninstall will not work, go on and delete the various files/folders as instructed in the method.
    Now use the intsller cleanup utility to remove any reference you find to QUicktime.
    Next install the stand alone Quicktime
    If that goes through OK, install iTunes.

  • Can I get itunes to recognize same music in different location

    I was recently told that my 7 year old external drive (which holds all my itunes music) is way old and might fail at any time, despite never giving me any problem and passing diagnostics regularly.
    I backed up the music on another (2nd internal) drive, but I don't know how to ensure that itunes will recognize the music and most especially the playlists that have taken so long to compile.
    In After effects, when the program can't find video files, you just point to one of them and it reconnects to all of them. Is there something like this in itunes?

    apart from your media files, what you should do is to back up your iTunes folder, specifically the *iTunes library* file, as it contains all the crucial data such as playlists, playcounts, ratings.
    click here for more information.
    as you, i have my iTunes media (or music) folder on an external HD, but keep the iTunes folder local so it gets backed up by time machine. additionally, i back the iTunes folder up to a thumb drive on an hourly basis.
    as long as you have an up-to-date library file, or @ least the .xml file, you will be able to re-create your library and playlists. check out [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451] support article.

  • TS1363 when I restore to factory settings so that I can use my PC to download new music I am going to loose everything on my IPod.  Is there anyway to avoid this?

    I am trying to download an audiobook from my laptop and I am getting a message to restore to factory settings so that I can use my PC to download.  This will make me loose all of my musice - is there anyway to avoid this?

    That may mean the iPod was previously used with a Mac, so it needs to be reformatted so that a Windows PC can access it.  That's what a Restore does.
    If you do a Restore, the iPod will be erased.  If what I said about previous use with a Mac is correct, you really won't be able to use your Windows PC to access the iPod, until a Restore is done to reformat the iPod's storage.  And if you do a Restore, the iPod is erased.  If you have access to a Mac, you may be able to do something.  Please post back...

  • Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

    So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system.  I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system"  I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either.  They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again.  It downloads, it just won't install afterwards.  When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing.  Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading.  I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue.  I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE.  Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue.  As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system.  That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries.  It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it.  HELP!!!

  • How can i get all of the new music I loaded into iTunes onto my iPod without deleting the content that is already on it?

    I just loaded a bunch of music from my CD library into iTunes in the hopes of loading it onto my iPod. The problem is now I can't figure out how to do it. Two issues... First it says that if I synch it will delete what is already on my iPod which I absolutely do not want. Second, is there a way to load each of the albums without having to create a play list?
    Ugh... Always a frustrating experience trying to deal with iTunes.

    You can only sync your device to one iTunes library at a time. You can either copy the music from the library on your other computer to the one you have loaded the new CDs onto, or you can purchase an external CD Drive and load them to the iTunes library you are currently sync'd with:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://store.apple.com/us/search/External-CD-DVD---SuperDrive
    For syncing, I am not familiar with the drag and drop method. I have always used the normal sync process:
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • How can i get Itunes to route my music to an external hard drive once my Internal drive is full?

    My Internal hard drive is getting full and im starting to worry about how i will store tracks in the future. I have my itunes set to auto organize the files into the Music folder when dragged into Itunes. I am a DJ, so i do get music quiet frequently that i need to add to Itunes for My DJ Software, Serato, To read. Is there anyway i can have Itunes begin rerouting the new songs onto an external HD? and can i play songs from two different hard drives with itunes open? Example, Song A is on internal.. once i finish listening to it or having serato acess it, If i then want to play Song B, which is on an external HD, will Itunes need to "Relocate the file" or will it remember its stored on the connected External HD?
    Thank you

    If that doesn't work for you then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
