Fed up trying to get itunes to work.

I bought an ipod and I am beginning to think it was the worst purchase I have ever made. My wife got a sansa for Christmas and I can rip CDs and put them on it at will.
My ipod, when I try to transfer any previously purchased itunes songs, purchased with my only itunes account, whether on this computer, or on my old computer that I upgraded from, I get a cannot transfer error because I am not authorized.
I rip a CD to the computer fine, cannot sync the **** thing to the ipod. I spent two hours last night and still can't get them on my ipod.
I also have itunes at work, one of my authorized computers. I bought two albums on my account from work on break. Now I can't transfer them to the ipod because I am not authorized.
What is the use?

If you only want to add songs and create and edit playlists on your ipod, you should try using an alternative to itunes. there is an app called Manager that's pretty cool. It's much faster and lighter than itunes. Besides, you can install it on your ipod, so you can connect it to any pc without it getting wipped out. cool huh?

Trying to get iTunes to work on an external drive. Help?

Okay, so my computer's main hard drive is pretty full, so I've been moving all my music to an external drive. The issue I'm having is that I can't get iTunes to work on that drive. I know I'm probably not phrasing this very clearly, sorry. But anyway. I've installed iTunes on the external drive, and I've moved all my music to that drive. However, the iTunes music folder is still in My Music, and iTunes "can't find" any of the music on my external drive unless I specifically go and find them.Can I tell iTunes to look at this other folder for its default library or something? Thanks for your help.

So sick of trying to get iTunes 8.2 to work on Vista - 7 days of ****

After downloading £50+ worth of new music/audiobooks and tv shows last week, innocently clicked on 'upgrade to 8.2'; (yes I backed up my Library and hard disk first); result, the last 7 days of **** trying to get iTunes and my iPhone to sync. I'm so sick of this bloody iPhone, iTunes and Vista, if I could go out and purchase a replacement to iPhone and iTunes I would without a second thought.
I have tried absolutely everything posted on apple.com/itunes/support in the last 7 days - must have spent a good 4-5 hours a day over the last 7 days trying to fix this sodding fault.
At this point, I'm considering going back to CDs, and the simplicity of just putting a CD on and playing it. It seems but a far away, simple approach to listening to music, compared to the sodding **** of trying to get iTunes to work on my Vista Laptop.
So ****** off I'm thinking of getting rid of my iPhone (and yes I'm at the end of my contract) and going for anything that is Non-Apple.
Anyone else had this delightful experience with iTunes 8.1 and 8.2?

Read the iTouch forums and other iPhone forums... this is a big issue and a known bug. Apple contacted me right after I posted my issue. I downloaded it when it was released. My fix tonight was to downgrade to iTunes 8.1. This works for sure, so this is the only fix that I know truly works.

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

Any ideas?

Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
"I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
Good luck.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account. But only some of them have the cloud next to them. The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download.

Fed up trying to get this sorted over the phone

My parents are both pensioners and understand nothing about broadband. They joined BT ADSL broadband in the summer of 2011. I recently moved into the property and noticed the state of their broadband. It is terrible. I took it upon myself to try and sort it out with BT, thus begins a long and very frustrating adventure.
The problem is constant very slow speed, about 1mb, usually less in the evenings and constant disconnections throughout the day. Sometimes when the telephone rings. The master socket is ancient, we moved into the house in the early 1980's and the socket and wiring have never been touched by us. The socket has a hard-wired extension coming out of the side which runs upstairs to a phone in the bedroom. The extension cannot be unplugged. There is a filter on the main socket, which the router is plugged into and also a filter at the end of the extension in the bedroom.
This is the type of master socket we have
I phoned BT a few days before christmas, around the 22nd and explained the problem. They recognised there was a problem and said the would elevate it to 2nd line support. 2nd line support called a few days later and said they would get an engineer to call to arrange a time to come out. I never received a call from an engineer.
I left it until after christmas and called again on the 30th December. It appeared BT had no record of my previous call. I had to explain everything again and go through the same scripted process. I explained I had already been through all this and my case had been elevated to 2nd line support. He told me he had no record of that. Frustrated I just told him to give me a direct number for 2nd line support which he did.
I then phoned 2nd line support and wanted to know why I had not received a call from the engineer. They did not seem to know. I then had to explain the whole problem a 3rd time to 2nd line support. The chap said the problem was our ip profile and he would reset it. To wait 24-48 hours and he "promised" our speeds would increase and the connection would be stable. I waited for 48 hours and no change. I waited a further day and still no change. I checked on the BT speedtest and, according to that, my ip profile had not been changed at all.
I called 2nd line support yet again and explained the problem a 4th time. They told me my line was being capped and they would take the cap off and would call me back in 10 mins. In a few mins our broadband went down. When it came back I noticed our speed had jumped from 1mb to nearly 3mb (according to the BT website our estimated speed is 6mb). Hurray I thought, finally some progress. 2nd line support called back and said they would call back the next day (3rd Jan) to check how things were going.
The next day, our connection dropped again in the morning. I checked our speed again and it had dropped 600kbps to 2mb. I waited for the phone call from 2nd line support which never came.
I am sick of phoning and having to explain the whole problem every time I phone and being promised phone calls would be made that never materialise.
These are the speedtest results:
Before I called BT for the first time
Test from immediately after we were "un capped"
Test after connection dropped the next day
Current router stats
It is my belief that we need an engineer to come out and replace our master socket for a start but I am fed up trying to get through on the phone. I was hoping some member of staff who can actually get things done would be present on this forum.
Thanks for reading

Ok engineer came, two of them in fact, took one look at our master socket and swapped it for one of these
They tested the line and said they were getting speeds of 7.1mb on their equipment. Said it could take up to 3 days but we should see an improvement within 24 hours.
These are the stats after 4 hours of use on the new socket.
So fingers crossed in a few days we'll be up to 7mb or so. I'm assuming this speed should gradually increase of it's own accord? No profile needs resetting or anything?

Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.
