Frequent iTunes dilemmas.

So I go to go on iTunes the other day and a notice comes up that says "Newer Version of QuickTime Required" and then it says "QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes." So i reinstalled it twice and it STILL doesn't work...WHAT DO I DO??!?!

First go here and try installing "Quicktime WITHOUT iTUnes" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html

  • Who can HELP me with an seemingly impossible iTunes dilemma?

    Good day all and greetings from Malta (EU),
    I have what seems to be the need for an "impossible" solution. Let me explain my dilemma.
    I have never wanted to use the new versions of iTunes past 10.7 for ONLY ONE simple reason that the developers of iTunes have decided to eliminate.
    I am a digital dj - I use iTunes as my cataloging system for all the tracks I play. I am the kind of person that likes to prepare as much as possible before I play. Up till 10.7 there was an option to open MULTIPLE playlist windows. This was very important to me because that would mean practically that how ever the mood moved on the dance floor I was able to just choose from the open playlist windows without having to spend needless time searching for them while playing (which can be a big distraction)
    I have recently purchased my FIRST Mac (17" MacbookPro) and I have Yosemite running on it. I have followed tutorials to downgrade iTunes (using Pacifier & AppZapper) to 10.7 in order to get the only one feature I needed but was not available in future upgrades.
    I have a few problems. When I connect my iPhone it is not recognised and when I use the finder window I constantly get error messages popping up.
    So here's the thing. I DON'T mind re-installing the updated version of iTunes to make the OS run properly and to connect my iPhone but I can't do this without the old version as well.
    Is there a way to be able to rename the 10.7 version of iTunes so I can continue using that and it's own library AND also be able to install the latest iTunes so I can eliminate my problems and continue using the 10.7 version. I can point out that the updated version does not need to have the same library... I'd ONLY need that to eliminate the error messages & be able to connect my devices.
    can ANYONE PLEASE PLEASE help me with this dilemma? I searched "high and low" on Google and in the Apple Support Forum but I have failed to find an solution....
    Thanks and I am sooooo looking forward to someone helping me as soon as possible.
    And Happy Holidays EVERYONE!!!

    You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

  • Anybody else having frequent iTunes 10.6.3 freezes?

    Since upgrading to 10.6.3 iTunes has been freezing (beachball) frequently. Force quit and restart solves problem temporarily. Have reinstalled fresh copy without resolution.  Any suggestions?

    Hi madatapple18,
    What happened to the love? You said," I enjoy using Apple products because of how easy they are to love."
    Seriously, don't worry, somebody in the Apple Discussions Community will help you figure out what the problem is! I promise.
    You see, one of the main reasons why Apple Products are easy to love is because of all of the kindhearted, kindred folks here who enjoy helping others. I try to help too, but I never get any points. My heart is in the right place though.
    I don't actually have an iPhone myself BUT I know that sometimes when I connect with iTunes online, that there is a lag while the "Genius" is "analyzing my iTunes library". Perhaps that could have something to do with it?
    Good luck

  • My iTunes dilemma...

    For a long while I've been an iTunes user on Windows. I was hooked and purchased all kinds of media - musics, shows and movies.
    After about a year of coping with Vista and XP I had to resort to linux and it's been a dream for all my apps - except for iTunes. My thousands of dollars worth of media is completely unusable.
    It's been more than a year now - I havn't touched my iPod 30g or my media. I tried wine and my old windows in a VM and they are both unbearably slow. And I think there is way too much complexity in any type of conversion as I have so much and so many types of media. Will Apple ever give some means for my platform to at least play my music?
    Thanks for any help you can offer in resolving my dilemma. Please don't respond if you wish to flame or troll.

    You will not be able to play DRM protected music from the iTunes Store on your Linuz machine, however you are allowed to burn it to an audio CD which can be used as any other audio CD.
    There are various iPod managers that will work with Linux and play non DRM protected tracks, see the list here which includes which operation system they work with.

  • ITunes dilemma

    1)Cannot download music from itunes store from wishlist. "Buy" button does not work.
    2) Network connectivity test - "Secure link to itunes store failed".
    3) And, from website, cannot download latest version of itunes. Will not download at all.
    Caught in a Catch-22.
    Suggestions?

    Yes.  Install the iTunes program on your computer, create an account, then redeem your gift card and use your account to buy songs.
    Note that the iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format.  Some MP3 players can play AAC and some cannot.  If yours cannot, you can convert the AACs to MP3 by following these handy-dandy instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • Frequent iTunes log-in requests

    For the last couple of days I keep getting the iTunes log-in pop up. It doesn't seem to be tied to any particular app and happens on both 3G or Wi-Fi. Not sure what's causing it. Some examples of what I was doing when it has occurred: opening Pages app, opening iBook app, playing Solitaire game app, starting a video, turning on the iPad. Also, I updated to the new patch several days before this started happening.
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    That's odd. Why don't you try a hard reset of your iPad by holding the Home plus On/Off button until the Apple logo appears. Also, check Settings, Store and see if your account is linked properly.

  • HT1391 ITunes 11 saving songs to admin instead of user account

    ITunes used to save my purchased songs to my User music Library. Today I purchased a song and it saved it to my Administrator account.  How can I fix this?  In addition When I try to add a file or folder to iTunes frequently iTunes doesn't recognize the song or folder in My Music Library. The file just doesn't show up in the folder box as an option. I am at a loss. Please help.

  • My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

    My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
    I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
    The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
    I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
    General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
    Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
    Questions:
    1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
    2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
    3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
    Thank you.
    DD

    Hi Dahveed,
    Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
    In the end I was forced to upgrade.
    I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
    I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
    Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
    The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
    In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
    On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.

  • Itunes store suddenly won't let me buy music - I click on "buy" and nothing happens

    Up until today for some reason I cannot purchase music from Itunes. I logged in this morning and added a giftcard I was given and also updated my card details as my card had expired. I click on any other link in itunes so for instance to hear a sample of a song, but when I click "buy" absolutely nothing happens. I have checked that current itunes is updated which it is, however it is not the latest version as my software does not support the latest version - but this shouldn't affect my ability to purchase music, as my parents have an older mac computer and are still able to purchase. I have not therefore updated any software today as I am up to date as far as I can be on this computer. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago when I made some purchases - I have no idea why it is not working now? Perhaps Itunes itself is having problems?
    Any suggestions?
    Help much appreciated

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

  • I did IOS 5 update as per onscreen instructions and lost all my data, photos ,music , everything. Thus is the worse experience . Now iTunes crashes on startup.

    I use iTunes for my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 . When I did the ios5 update on my iPhone iTunes reported that threvwas a problem , tgatvsone of my data did not get copied . Well none of my data got copied , ios5 got installed ok but I lost all my photos , music , books , apps. What a horrible situation. I cannot get iTunes to run . It crashes after about  45 seconds , reports that something is preventing it from running . I repaired iTunes with a fresh iTunes 10.5 file but to no avail. Oh , and iTunes installed all my apps on my iPhone . Mean apps that were for my iPad and iPod touch. It installed about 300 apps on my iPhone. This is insane . That **** IOS 5 is a ruinous upgrade. What do I do ? I can't sync my iPad any longer no iTunes. I don't know.......

    The passcode is defintely doing its job, denying access to your personal info from unauthorised users. The way I look at it is if there was another way to bypass the passcode then whats the point?. You would then have a passcode just for show, that didn't protect anything. Anybody and everybody would have access to all your data.
    I understand your frustration in regards to losing data, thats one of the worst things that could happen with devices now days that hold so much information. I do not believe the issue was your fault but your colleagues. In saying that it would have been wise to make frequent iTunes back ups or enable automatic iCloud back ups as that is what they are there for.
    As already explained this is a user to user forum, Apple does not comment or review the information. If you believe Apple should have another way to protect their devices or another way around this issue then please provide them with feedback here:

    All the best.

  • Why are ITunes Library files stored on Buffalo Pro 1TB NAS being corrupted?

    I'm having a flaky problem with the ITunes library files (Mac version) stored on a Buffalo NAS. Frequently, ITunes says the ITunes library file is damaged and creates a new one.
    Moreover, there are temp files that ITunes apparntly creates that apparently become the new Library and XML files when ITunes shuts down. Apparently, this is done behind the scenes while ITunes is shutting down, but lately, these files are no longer being renamed or deleted. Often multiple temp files will accumulate.
    Lastly, and most oddly, if I try to rename one of these temp files to ITunes Library based on best guess from size and date which is the ITunes Library file, it sometimes works, but it sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, I will find a "phantom" ITunes Library file and ITunes Library.xml that cannot be selected, opened or deleted. They are greyed out in Finder. Since the file exists, a rename or copy will fail, saying a file already exists with that name, but I can't select it to delete it. Often when this happens, the actual file name seems to "flicker" between temp file and Itunes Library file. If I try to click on ITunes Library, it disappears, but a new temp file instantly appears. If I try to click on the temp file, that disappears and the ITunes Library file appears.
    Rebooting the NAS fixes the phantom file problem. I delete all ITunes library and temp files, and reindex from ITunes, but it only starts all over again.
    If I do the same process in Windows, ITunes will only find about 10% of my files and then stop. (I have about 16,500 tracks total.) Windows doesn't seem to have any probelms with "phantom" files.
    Checks on the NAS disk array show no problems.
    Any thoughts?

  • ITunes asks me to set it up when I open it

    More and more frequently, iTunes asks me to set up the program when I try to open it, even though it has been running on my computer for months. It usually asks me if I want to add all MP3 files etc and generally set up the program. I then have to go through setup to use iTunes. Also, when I tried to open iTunes, it told me that it needed a library and gave me options to either find an existing library, create a new one, or quit. It has never done this before. iTunes was working fine yesterday.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Could it be to do with iTunes + Vista?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. As I mentioned in the original post, I uninstalled all 6 components of iTunes; followed by restarting my computer and then downloading and installing the latest version from the Apple website. No change in results.
    It has been four days of living without essential information while paying an exhorbitant phone bill to AT&T for services I no longer have access to.  So today, I decided to allow iTunes set it up as a new phone.  I cannot tell yet if I have lost some info, but at least I have retreaved the majority of my songs, video, audiobooks, and apps. I lost some of my photos.
    So, no quick fixes and I would not necessarily suggest others who have the same experience, follow my route.  Although, save for photos and some missing data, I have everything else back and seemingly functional.
    Sincerely,
    JMH

  • ITunes radio starts playing after I check email.  What can I do to stop that from happening.  It is a nuisance to open iTunes and pause the song playing.

    On my iPhone 5c, after I check email or other apps not related to phone use, frequently iTunes radio starts playing.  I have learned to open app and pause the song being played.  Is there a way to not have that happen?

  • Itunes kicks me off internet when I insert CD.

    I have dial-up internet (there are no affordable options where I live), and every time I insert a music CD, I get kicked off of the internet. I found a post from last year that said iTunes may be trying to connect to the online CD database, but I don't have any problems accessing the CDDB as long as the CD is already in the computer when I log on. I had hoped this problem would be solved with one of the all too frequent iTunes updates I have to go to other people's houses to download, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem that doesn't involve spending precious lifetime slowly importing CDs?
    iMac G5 2.1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   dial up via 56K modem (actual speed more like 2K)

    In OS9 there was a file (I can't remember its name) which stored all the tracknames from CDs that had been opened, and it was possible to port this file to a new computer to save it having to look up all your CD tracks again.
    Does anyone know where this file lives in OS X?
