Do I HAVE TO download the itunes software in order to purchase songs? HELP!
I have a 12 yr old who has been very patient. She just got the Creative Zen Sleek player, we have XP Pro, the Zen already has it's own "organizer player".
Do I really have to have the itunes software in order for my daughter to purchase and transfer the songs to her player?
I have been at this all day, upgrading software, upgrading hardware, I thought I would have been done by now..so she can actually use it and not just for FM stations!
anybody!! Please help a frazzled mom and very patient daughter!!!
Since you have gift certificates for iTunes, you will download from iTunes. iTunes is a free program. Download it here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but you can only use iPods on iTunes. So when you let your daughter go into iTunes, click on iTunes Music store on the left side, then click "redeem Gift Certificates,"
type in the code on the certificate, and choose your songs.
(Note: Under iTunes Help it says that Music downloaded from the site can only be used on iTunes and iPods - I do not think this is true)
The songs, once they have downloaded, will be in the music library.
Now you must download a different music program. For ease, I would say download Realplayer - www.realplayer.com
it is not as nice as iTunes, but iTunes will not work.
In realplayer look for "Import to Library"
Then look for the file under which the music files you downloaded are saved.
It should be:
C drive > My Music > iTunes > Library
and it should all be there.
If you are not sure where the files were saved to, then in iTunes go to
Prefrences > Advanced > General > iTunes Music Folder Location
That is were the files were saved.
Now back in realplayer, select the folder that the files are in, and clikc import.
The song files should now be in the realplayer library too.
Connect your Creative Zen, and realplayer should reconize it, and off you go.
(This is not as confusing as it looks)
Good Luck and If you are confused, just ask.

I have just downloaded the latest Software, Lion, but i still don't have the Stream highlighted...what have i done wrong?
That's what I was thinking but my neighbour did the 10.8 and got the 11 so can't understand how she got it and I didn't.
I have been reading about iphoto 11 and there has been a lot of bad press when using with the iphone, ipad etc. Is it, in your opionion, too much hassle just for photo stream?
Thanks so much for all your help...I thought i was gonna go mad, lol

Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?
No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

Hello There,
I have been facing this problem for a while. Once I download the ITunes for my Mac the safari says the following:
Are you sure you want to send a form again?
To reopen this page Safari must resend a form. This might result in duplicate purchases, comments, or other actions.
I need help ASAP.

Do I HAVE to use the iTunes software to transfer MPS's to iPod?
I didn't have iTunes installed on my PC and was helping a friend, who isn't very techno-savy, to transfer some songs from CD to iPod Shuffle.
Got all the songs ripped from the CD's, then plugged in the iPod Shuffle. My PC recognized it as a USB Mass Storage device, similar to a FLASH DRIVE.
I simply copied and pasted all the songs from the folder on my desktop directly into the iPod. Is there ANY reason I can't simply do that?
I could see with larger more complex iPods, that the iTunes software could have some benefits.
This is the way MP3's have been transferred to "other brand" MP3 players, but I know that Apple has their own "uniqueness," so this method may not work.
I'd prefer NOT to install iTunes on my PC, since I'm hardly going to use it.
Thanks,
JPThe simple answer is YES.
The more complex answer is Google: Alternate iPod Managers -

I connected my wifi to my iMac and was asked if I wanted to download the most current update. I backed up my iPod and did the download. My iPod was able to connect to the internet at my friend's house, but it hasn't been able to connect since then, and the connection to wifi is grayed out. Nothing has changed with the network; just the updated software.
The update occured on 06/08/13 at 10:41 PM
Please help.First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
I just bought an IPhone 4s and plugged it into my Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) OS and it failed to recognize the phone. I checked in the tech community and discovered that I need to remove all the software assoicated with the phone and start over....I followed the sequence exactly...reinstalled the software and it still doesn't work. I am trying to download the IPhone 4s video to my computer and without a USB interface that works my memory capactiy will fill up fast....I've already been into the control panel....stopped and restarted the Apple service....I am stuck...can anyone offer some suggestions or knwo if there is a fix for this issue..??
Thanks,
EricI solved my own problem....I simply moved the cable to another port while moving the mouse to the USB ports on the opposite side of the computer....and the computr finally recognized the phone...I know it sounds weird but it worked...so if you are having the same problem that had trying removing all the crap you have plugged into the USB ports on your computer THEN plug in your IPhone 4s...use the cable that came with the phone and nothing else...good luck..>!!!

The latest version iOS 6 does not run on the original iPad. That's why you cannot download it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times now and the music that was purchased is "dead in the water" unless I can move it into my PC library. I'm following all the install prompts, but I keep getting the improperly installed warning. I'm not the most tech savvy so if you know that answer, please tell me like you would Forest Gump, thanks!!
ApeCould you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. -

When I installed iTunes on my computer, it is now the default program for all my shortcut icons and web pages. How do I change that?
Whilst upgrading to V 7 of RoboForm - this means having to pay for Upgrade. This is because despite an assurance that when I paid the orginal fee - with a Lifetime of future updates would be free - they i.e. Roboform lied! You now have to pay to upgrade.
However the problem is not with Roboform but Firefox - I used to think it was great but now it is rubbish! Upgraded to V6 - All my previous Addons disabled & I can't get RoboForm toolbar re-installed. So I will start using IE from now on - it is really pathetic!! -
