Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

"To download X, you need to have iTunes." but I HAVE iTunes!

I'm currently trying to download Stanza for Desktop, but whenever I click on "Open with iTunes" my browser redirects me to the download page and says
+To download Lexcycle’s Stanza, you need to have iTunes.+
Except I have iTunes. I've had it for ages. My iPod Touch is completely up to date, I've just installed the latest version of iTunes, but still, nothing. I've never had this problem before, usually links just open iTunes up right away, but for some reason, it won't register my iTunes and open the download.
I'm using this link http://itunes.apple.com/app/stanza/id284956128 to attempt my download. I have a 64-bit version of Windows, so I figure that might be part of the issue. Any help would be appreciated

Move what is needed to have iTunes look to D HDD instead of C SSD

I have a new windows computer (Windows 8 operating system without touch screen) that contains a 1T HHD (Hard Disc Drive) and a 250 SSD (Solid State Drive).
I have a large amount of music which would fill the SSD, so I want to store all the music on the D Drive.
I also want to open iTunes and have it include all those songs from D Drive as part of the library.
I cannot put all the music into iTunes since it is on the C drive, so I want to know what to do so that when I open iTunes, it has as part of the library all the songs from the D drive as well as those already part of iTunes.
I am NOT a computer geek, having learned the above initials from Best Buy...
Please tell me in simple steps how to accomplish my goal. Do I just drag the entire folder of iTunes from the C drive to D and then copy all the songs to iTunes, or what????
Help...old and confused....

Matt, welcome to discussions! This link from MacMuse should do the trick for you.

I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?, I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?

I now have an iPad and want to know do I still need to have iTunes on my pc?

Need to..? Probably not, at least not if it is running iOS 5. In principle you can set up the device with a working Wi-Fi connection to the Internet, back it up to iCloud and download future updates independently of iTunes. However you still need iTunes to transfer non-iTunes Store purchased media to the device so you may find iTunes still has its uses.
Depending on what region you are in you can download previously purchased apps, books, music and TV shows as often as you like (provided they are still available in the store) but movies and (strangely) audiobooks are still on a one time only download, so it you have any of these, or plan to, then a connection to iTunes will be the only way to backup those items.

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

Have you contacted iTunes support ? If not then you can do so via this page (these are user-to-user forums, and I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks

I have itunes 10.5.8 and cannot update it any futher, i just installed iOS 6 on my iphone and now it won't let me sync to my itunes because it says i need the new version...is there anything i can do to avoid upgrading my entire mac os

i have itunes 10.6.1 and can't update itunes any further because im using mac os 10.5.8...the problem is that i just updated my iphone 4 to the new i OS6 and it won't let me sync to itunes without updating to itunes 10.7....help please??

Not for free, no. Well I guess there is. Don't sync your phone. We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
Some people don't seem to need 10.7. Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

What did I do wrong? I used to have iTunes installed on this computer and lost it when it crashed. No I can't get past a certain point in the installation point. I keep getting an error message stating that I need to verify that I have access to this file

Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
