Error message trying to backup itunes
I am trying to backup my itunes before I do a system restoration but I'm having problems...It keeps saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (261)."
Make sure you're running the latest version of iTunes; I think this issue was fixed. Download it here:

Error message trying to load iTunes
I started getting this error message trying to load iTunes a few days ago:
"error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPhone Help.chm. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Anyone know how to fix this?Sorry about the delay. (Bad cold and some connection problems too.)
Hmmm. The first version of it is probably being thrown by the iTunes Setup Assistant (which involves an installer routine).
The second set of circumstances is a bit more familiar (especially if it's accompanied by a 2330 error message number).
Often it's file damage or (disk damage near a file) that causes those messages. So let's try running a Chkdsk over the C drive:

Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does it stop giving you that message when you try to launch or upgrade? -
HT203163 error message trying to access iTunes store: "not enough memory"
We've used AppleTV for years, but suddenly cannot log-in to view purchaed TV shows, cannot buy tunes from computer or iPhone, etc. When trying to log-in the error message says "not enough memory" on the computer; on Apple TV it says: "Account log-in failed; try again later"
It's typically related to security software issues, gayle. If you're running Kaspersky security software, try switching off Kaspersky Parental Controls. Otherwise, see:

I get error 7 (windows error 193) when trying to reinstall itunes on all my devices: computer, Iphone, Ipad Air.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT201625 Error when trying to backup iTunes to external drive
I have tried to consolidate/move songs to external drive through itunes/library/organize/consolidate. At first it looks like everything is copying over but I get this "copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." How does one correct this error?
You cannot do it.. Even if you copy it right now, when you like to restore it later.. file format will not supported and you'll get error.

I'm trying to update my iphone 3GS to the 4.3.4 version and I am getting the error message "This version of itunes (version 9.1.1) is the current version. How do I update my PHONE and why is an itunes update being confused for my iphone?
You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

Still unable to download itunes to my pc. Tried with IE, Mozilla and Google Chrome. Keep getting an error message :"Windows cannot open itunes.exe the file is corrupt contact support."previous itunes files were wipped out by "disk cleaner." Any help??
Please!
Thanks!If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem. -
My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?
First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

that is for deleting the scinfo folder. scroll to the bottom of the article and the steps are there -

While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?
This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).
