Computer died while updating itunes now it is gone

how can I get it back?

To use itunes to update your iphone you should first ensure you have the most recent iTunes version. Once this version is downloaded to your computer, you will then need to check to see that all anti-spyware programs are uninstalled from a Windows OS you may be using. If you are using a Windows OS that is likely why the itunes crashed (or missing an itunes update) Windows antispyware will stop the download of the necessary file to do the updates to your apple device.
Good luck.

  • Computer froze while updating. iTunes has disappeared

    I was updating my iTunes when my computer froze and now my iTunes has been deleted and I can no longer reinstall. I have tried to download iTunes in the most updated version, but I cannot actually proceed with the download. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have tried rebooting my computer. I have also looked in the Control Panel to see if the program was there, and it's as if the program has completely vanished from my computer. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    i assume your computer froze during the update operation, leaving your installation in a unstable state. after restart you are not able to access anything. if that is the case, i think the best option is to use a arch installation disk/usb to boot and finish the update.
    1. create a bootable meadia - cd/usb and boot using that
    2. mount the partitions
    3. arch-chroot to the mounted root partition
    4. run pacman -Syu
    if the above is not the case, please give more details.
    thanks

  • Updated itunes, now everything is gone

    When updating from itunes 3.1 to 4.2.1 everything on the ipod appears to be gone. Contacts, calendar, apps, music, etc. Tried to right click to restore to backup there isn't anything to backup from.

    Your contacts would be in whatever program you have chosen to sync with, as will the calendar info.
    Music will be in itunes, as will the apps, videos, movies, tv shows.
    Pictures will be wherever you keep them on your computer.

    Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update.  You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time.  And of course make a backup of your whole library first.  It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates.  Better safe...

  • IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back.

  • I updated iTunes, now it dosen't work

    I updated iTunes now i get this error "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Is it going to count this computer again as another copy of all my songs. This computer is at least two of the 'copies' of many of my songs. Some songs thing they're on even more computers that that.
    How can I de-authorize the computer if the program won't run anymore?

    Delete 7.2 and try 7.1.

    Hello Aaron1658,
    It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
    "The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
    "iTunes was unable to verify your device."
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    just updated itunes now wont connect to ipad or iphone

    Do you have a mac or PC? If a PC try going into the control panel, add/remove programs, find something named Apple device driver, apple mobile device support, something like that (the exact name has changed from version to version)
    Uninstall that then restart your comptuer
    Open iTunes and then plug in your device and see if the drivers install
