Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

    After 4 repetitions I think I got that straight.
    Answer: Return the CD.
    Or did you mean this was an album you bought from iTunes, in which case it really isn't a "CD" (which is a hard, plastic, shiny disc) and I'm at risk of getting confused.  If it is a corrupt file that you downloaded, delete the file and try downloading it again.

  • I tried to download the new verison of itunes and now i can't open itunes. it says error 126. what do i do?

    How do i fix error 126?

    I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
    When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.

  • Ive downloaded the latest version of itunes and now i cant open itunes. it says im missing something but when i go to download it again just to be safe it keeps saying the same thing and i cant open my itunes anymore

    I cant open my itunes. it said i needed to download the 10.5.2 version to be able to upload the songs to my new ipod (touch) and when i went to do that my itunes wont open at all. me and my mom tried everything. i even went on my brothers account to get at least some songs and his did the same thing even though i didnt download it to the newest version. after i downloaded the lastest version and tried to open my itunes it said it was missing something so i went and downloaded it again. i know that was probably bad to do but i didnt know what else to do. even though i went and did that it keeps saying that im missing something. i dont know what to do to get my itunes to work again and if ill have to redownload all my songs and videos again.
    Pleas help.
    Thanks much,
    Sammii

    Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
    If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

  • HT1692 when i connect my iphone to itunes it say its corrupted? what can i do i want to update my contacts and save them

    itunes could not back up the iphone becasue the backup was corrupt or not compatiable with the iphone...
    what do i do please

    I have a free app called MCBackup that creates a file that you can email yourself and it consists of a complete list of the contacts.  Good way to back them up and keep a copy from time to time. There is anothe app called TTvCard that does the same thing.  You might be able to open the email on the Samsung and have the contacts appear on the Samsung phone
    This might help with the google thing you mentioned http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
    If you google transfer iphone contacts to Samsung (then model number) you might find something useful

  • When I try to go onto itunes it says its corrupted and needs to be re-installed? I've been trying to do this but it still does the same thing. How do I get my music back?

    My itunes comes up corrupted and won't let me into my music? How do I get my music back?

    Is it the application that says it is corrupted, or is it the library?  Precision and little details are important and helpful when you provide them with the question.
    If it is the library, try rebuilding it.

  • I download itunes it says its successfully installed. then when i try to open it it says "apple application support not found" PLEASE HELP!!

    I download itunes it says its successfully installed but then when i try to open it is says "Apple Application Support not found"

    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:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    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, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    "Extended" network means your phone is picking up towers from another carrier that Sprint has an agreement with. Long story short, Sprint does not have adquate coverage in the area where you are located when you see "extended".

  • I try to open itunes it says that it has encountered a problem

    every time i try to open itunes it says that itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i did this with my original cd and it says quicktime wasnt installed so- i updated itunes and it still has the same problem what do i do?

    so i upgraded to the new itunes and its installed but when i went to remove quicktime/itunes, itunes was there but quicktime wasnt and i cant open itunes now it says it has encountered a problem
    okay, let's try this first.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    after the PC restarts we'll do a repair install of itunes.
    go to your Add/Remove programs. select itunes, click "Change", and select "Repair".
    that should install a current version of QuickTime for you.
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC again, and try to launch itunes. does it launch okay?
