iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

I downloaded the latest itunes update and it will not play my music and the sound on my computer has been disabled.

I downloaded the latest itunes update on my HP desktop with Windows Vista and it will not play my music and has disabled the sound on my computer?

Disable live updating on iTunes

How does one go about disabling live updating in iTunes. I do not use smart playlists and am trying to optimize the environment that is in iTunes, since my computer runs very slowly when iTunes is running.
I have an iMac G4 (isight I believe). It has a 340Gb HD (with 180Gb free) and 1.5Gb of memory. Yes this is an older Mac, and since upgrading to 9.1, iTunes runs significantly slower than the 8.x version I was using. When I try to switch songs the little colorwheel is displayed for up to 10 seconds before anything happens. Also, when playing video (TV shows, movies), the video is very jumpy.
The library I have is on an external RAID drive (LaCie 4Big Quadra) and the size of the library is about 975Gb. I do have a significant amount of playlists (not smart playlists, just regular ones) for most of the albums. I also have about a hundred 'custom' playlists (from different albums same or different composer).
I have been informed that the number of playlists I have is slowing iTunes down.
I don't like the other methods of displaying the albums, thus I use playlists to keep track of the albums I have on my iMac.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Select a smart playlist
File > Edit Smart Playlist
Note that iTunes automatically includes some smart playlists already, so you have some even if you didn't make them. Top rated, Recently Added, etc.
I have an iMac G4 (isight I believe). It has a 340Gb HD (with 180Gb free) and 1.5Gb of memory. Yes this is an older Mac, and since upgrading to 9.1, iTunes runs significantly slower than the 8.x version I was using.
Newer versions of anything include newer features, which often means slower. I was happy with 7.5 and have stuck with it because I don't need bells and whistles.
Also, when playing video (TV shows, movies), the video is very jumpy.
That's because your computer is old and slow compared to the demands of modern video formats. There's a few tweaks you can try but frankly they likely won't do much and might not be easy or possible in your computer (like buying a faster video card).
The library I have is on an external RAID drive (LaCie 4Big Quadra) and the size of the library is about 975Gb. I do have a significant amount of playlists (not smart playlists, just regular ones) for most of the albums. I also have about a hundred 'custom' playlists (from different albums same or different composer).
One thing about iTunes is that when you do pretty much anything it re-writes the library file. Stopping live updating will help. Still, the bigger the library file, the longer it takes to load, unload, and write. The more playlists you have, the more items you have, the longer it takes.
I have been informed that the number of playlists I have is slowing iTunes down.
yes.
I don't like the other methods of displaying the albums, thus I use playlists to keep track of the albums I have on my iMac.
So, it's your decision, and you have to decide if it's worth the slow-down trade-off.

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. This is an APPLE Itunes issue. Help!. HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, windows 7

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community, I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help?

Error message received: The iTunes update server could not be contacted

Please help! I'm using a windows 7 laptop. The iTunes store is not displaying images, and if I try to import a CD it will not access the gracenote database for track info.Tried updating but got the error message 'the itunes update server could not be contacted'. I'm accessing the internet via a Tmobile dongle and all other web content is working . I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked my driver are up to date and that my AVG firewall allows iTunes through.I have disabled the windows firewall.I tried disabling the AVG one completely too but that had no effect so I'm stuck - can anyone help?

Not sure if you already fixed this problem or not, but I recently upgraded my laptop to Win7 and ran into the same issue. My Internet connection was working fine, I could even browse the store within iTunes, just couldn't download any software or firmware updates. I fixed it by editing the "hosts" file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder. Open it in notepad with admin rights (right click notepad & select "Run as administrator"). Uncomment (delete the hash symbol "#") the last 2 lines or the ones that consist of "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "::1 localhost". Restart iTunes and see if this works (if you haven't already found a solution).

The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
What else can I try?

I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
Isolate the issue:
1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
Blocked by software Firewall:
I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
It seems to be the case that:
"If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
Blocked By Configuration:
I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
I do not have any proxy settings
I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
Rebuild Network Information
I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
I then restarted.
Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

OS X 10.5.8 Running VERY slow since installing Safari and itunes updates.

Installed latest Safari and itunes updates today. When my OS restarted the install took a really long time and since then the computer is so slow its un-usable. Its a Macbook Pro, 2.6 intel dual thingy (the model just before the uni-bodies came out).
I have down the PRAM reset and tried launching in safe mode. Neither or these made any difference.
I then started with an install disk installed and while holding down C. Again, it took a long time to boot, but once in that mode I launch the various utilities etc. So I opened disk utility and verify and repair disk...but it found no problems.
Perhaps I should have repaired disk permissions?
Also I thought this might be a lose ram issue or something. I don't have a screw driver to open up RAM slot and re-seat it, but also in 'about this mac' it can see the ram...?
I am very frustrated right now! What have i done to my computer?!
It was running 100% fine until I did this software update.
...and when I say it is running slow, to give an example clicking Apple/N in finder takes maybe 5 for that window to appear followed by another few minutes of the whirling wheel of death. Then I can click on the next item (apps for instance) and go through a similar wait.
argh!

No very clear idea of why it is behaving like that Samuel, but in 95% of cases it is some third party add-on, not yet updated for Safari 5, that is the cause.
Please peruse the following, particularly with respect to Open DNS settings:
Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

I need to turn off the iTunes update prompt programmatically (during install)- How?

I am deploying iTunes ver 10.2.214 to Windows 7 X64 PCs. When the PCs launch iTunes they see a prompt, "A new version of iTunes is available. Would you like to download it now?"
I need to disable that prompt during the iTunes install. I have downloaded ORCA and set SCHEDULE_ASUW to zero as per the instructions on this website:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Deploying_iTunes/Int roduction/Introduction.html
I can open the iTunes64.msi and see that the property is set correctly (set to 0) but after I install using that .MSI it still prompts for the iTunes update.
How can I turn that off???
Thanks!

Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled. I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those! I see lots of people are having this problem PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

MeganTD,
I completely understand how you feel. This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad. The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong." I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes." This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first.
I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it. I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data. I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either.
I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail. I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

HT1926 Problems synchronizing iPod touch after installing latest iTunes update

After having installed the latest iTunes update I can't sync my iPod touch with iTunes anymore. Error message reads: Attempting to copy to the disk "Acer" failed. The device is not connected." I already re-installed iTunes completely. Another error message says: "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the iPod is disconnected". But the iPod was connected. What can I do?

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer.

HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Since the 10.5.3.3 itunes update Taskbar won't respond PC

Hi!
So I'm running a Windows 7 64-bit pc and since the latest itunes update whenever I move the mouse down to the taskbar (in auto-hide mode, so i need to scroll over for it to pop up) it won't respond and I have to minimise itunes before I can access it. It's same when it's windowed, even though it's not maximised I have to minimise it to access the taskbar.
It's nothing too major, just an annoyance when I'm flicking between several windows. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Are you by any chance using a proxy server that works through a .pac file? If so, go to System Preferences>Network>Advanced...>Proxies and disable it, just to see if that helps. I think OS 10.5.3 introduced a javascript incompatibility with proxy .pac servers.
