Frontrow and Itunes error on older mac

Hi.
I have in a long time used frontrow on my older IMac without having any trouble. Now however when i open frontrow and it appears in my dock, i can launch it once and it works like a charm. If however i go back from the frontrow screen with the itunes logo etc. to the desktop, and launch it once more the trouble begins. Everything looks fine but if i choose Itunes it sees everything perfectly but if i try to play anything an error occurs. "A error occured while connecting to Itunes" (or something like that) I can solve this problem by quiting Frontrow and relaunching it again, but this kind of ruins the experience. Any idears anyone?? P.s Did update to the new frontrow.
Regards Jesper

to be honest, it has been a while since i have been using it the last time. I am considering to buy a mac mini functioning as a movie and music-server in my livingroom, and i plan to control it with frontrow. So i began using it again from my old computers, and this is when tho problem occured. When i used it the last time there was no problem but if it is the frontrow update or tiger update that ruined the function, I dont know.

HT1338 new to macs - have 10.4.11 and an iMac 2 - older Mac by today's standards - is there a version of Itunes that would work on the OS?

I'm not certain what you mean by iMac 2. Is that the lamp shade model -- round half ball with stem & lcd display?

Using iTunes store with older Mac

I have a 5 year old Mac PowerBook G4 10.4.11, and cannot seem to access iTunes store any longer. My older Itunes store has ceased to function and the new version will not work on older Mac (yay Apple!). The new version needs 10.5 to work, so I am left with a non-functional iTunes.
(I also just want to point out that 5 years old is NOT ancient for a home-based laptop.)
Is there any way I can continue to buy music at iTunes with a work-around, or a version of the current iTunes made for older Macs, or should I just shop elsewhere, at (ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops?
I specifically bought my machine planning to have a long life out of it and get good value, but now Apple are turning a really happy customer into a really seriously ****** one with this ploy to get me to update my machine, which I will not do unnecessarily.
A very unhappy, currently unable-to-buy-anything customer.
In the meanwhile, if anyone can help or give sound advice, besides moving to Ubuntu and avoiding Apple altogether henceforth, I'll be really appreciative.

Lee888,
There has been some unhappiness about that lately, but indeed the Store will not work with old versions of iTunes.
But you can easily shop for music at the Amazon.com MP3 Store. (If you are in the UK, use amazon.co.uk).
The Amazon store only needs a browser, so is unaffected by upgrade issues. I guess it meets your definition of "(ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops."
Once you have the MP3s, simply add them to your iTunes library.

My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

Windows xp and itunes = error (0x80090318) HELP!!!!

hi all,
i am still using windows xp and iTunes Version 11.0.0.163 but when starting iTunes
i do get the following error message:
your inquiry at iTunes Store could not be completed. unkown mistake,
please try again later. error code (0x80090318)
please help, i realy do have no idea.
firewall is off, antivirus is off
thanks

I just fixed this problem last night. I hopped around a few threads here and found the answer but of course now I can't find it to give you the exact link. But I think I can walk you through it. You need to put your ipod into "Disk Mode". Plug it into the USB port, toggle hold on & off. Then press & hold center and top of the wheel at the same time for about 5 seconds. As soon as the apple appears, release and press the center and bottom of the wheel at the same time. When you see a check mark in the center of the screen release - that means you are in disk mode. When I did that suddenly iTunes recognized my ipod again (4 months later!!). I updated and everything was fine. I didn't even need to restore which is what I was trying to do. Good Luck!!

Who knows how to fix iphone 5s blue screen of death and itunes error 4013?!

Hi
Last day, dec 14th, a blue screen of death appears on my iphone 5s, aparently because I was installing facebook app.
After that, the iphone remains restarting over and over non stop, until the battery shutoff.
I try to press home and power/sleep buttons for 10 secs, but stil continuous with the blue screen.
After that, with battery charged, I tried to hold the home button and simultaneously connect to an usb cable (the cable is in perfect conditions) to start itunes.
Its worked, but now, everytime shows an itunes message: error 4013, "the iphone cannot be restored".
What can I do now?!
Thanks

Hi Tks777,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you see an "error 4013" when you try to restore your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps:
Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
Restart your computer.
Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
Use a different USB cable.
Uninstall third-party security software.
Try restoring using an alternate computer.

Migrate Apple Mail and iTunes to a new Mac

A friend df mine has a macBook Pro 2009 and now has bought a MacBook Por Retina.
As the old AMcBook pro is full of problems on system level I offered to help him with th emigration of some of his old data to the new machine. iPhoto data is no problems as I know which files to copy but hesitate on Apple Mail and iTunes.
I read this extensive manual http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail_4.htm#step-heading but it tells me also to copy the old keychain data, which is corrupt and even Key Chain First iAd can't solve.
Is it possible yo only copy Username/Library/Mail and the com.apple.mail.plist file in Username/LibraryPreferences ?
On iTunes I have want to follow theses steps to have his iPad and iPhone sync on the new Mac
1) Make sure that iTunes is not running on both Macs.
2) Disconnect your iPhone/iPod from both Macs.
3) Copy your iTunes folder: /Users/username/Music/iTunes
4) Copy your iPhone/iPod backups: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/MobileSync
5) Copy your iTunes configuration files: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*
6) Open iTunes on your new Mac and verify that Applications and Ringtones appear.
7) Connect your iPhone/iPod to the new Mac and accept any new authorizations.
8) Use iTunes on your old Mac to de-authorize the computer.
Your help and advice is appreciated

Is it possible yo only copy Username/Library/Mail and the com.apple.mail.plist file in Username/LibraryPreferences ?
Yes. You'll need to reenter the passwords for the mail accounts.
Your iTunes plan looks good.

HT201442 iPhone 3gs ''Stuck in Recovery Logo'' and''iTunes Error 3941''

''iPhone 3gs Stuck in Recovery Logo'', and If Recovery The iPhone it will reboot and back to recovery Logo and then ''iTunes Error 3941''
sorry for bad english

This is what I posted to someone else having an update issue... Just for your information:
I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to update it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are having the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue. I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
Also: I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

I have a pc and recently bought an older mac pro - probably 2009 model. I cannot seem to get my library from Itunes to open on the Mac like it does on the PC when I bought a new one I just downloaded Itunes and my whole library came up.

I can't seem to get my Itunes Library to come up on my Mac. When I bought a new PC last year I just downloaded Itunes and all of my previous library came in but that isn't happening with my Mac Pro. Is there an easy way to do that?

Have you copied your content from your other computer?

HT201269 iPhone 4 won't back up to iTunes on an older Mac. HELP!

When trying to back up my old iphone 4, it won't sync to iTunes on my computer because iTunes is not the latest version. I've since downloaded the lasted version but still have the same error message. I've seen in some forums that since I have an older Macbook and my iphone is operating under a newer iOS, it may not be compatible. Help! I need my pictures and text messages backed up!

Hey nataliemk23
Music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store does not transfer from iPhone to computer. You will need to setup Home Sharing on both computers. You can also use a thumb drive or file sharing to move the files over as well.

Well does anyone have any seloution for my problem?...

Hello missyfromsouthport,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Additional Information
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

IPod Dissapears in Window when iTunes starts and iTunes error occurs

I had an issue where my iPod (Gen 7) would show in the PC window under "Drives", but dissapeared as soon as iTunes was launched and then an error from iTunes that the iPod was recognized but couldn't be read. Going through the iTunes diagnostics didn't work, either. need a bit more support from Apple for that issue.
I went through the troubleshooting steps, several times, all of which did not work, which included resetting mobile device activation and re-installing the latest iTunes.
Finally, I came across the troubleshooting step under "iPod not recognized in window", and it said to uninstall a lot of the apple apps, such as iTunes, Application Support, etc.
After uninstalling, rebooting, and re-installing, the error had dissapeared and I could see my iPod in the iTunes again. (Hesitant to plug the iPhone in.)
What caused this, I don't know, but it may had something to do with using my work account ID for my iPhone so I could import some photos into my personal account ID on my iPod.
Screwed that up...still don't know how to import or share, unless I designate the work iPhone to another computer and keep the accounts seperate. I was using Cloud, since it was installed on my computer, probably when I first plugged my iPhone into my computer.
Could this be what happened, two user accounts on one iTunes just didn't agree?

Windows and itunes error message

I get an error message each time I install itunes. "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I can't get itunes to open. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall with no success. I even tried system restore. How can I resolve this?

itunes is installed and works fine until I close the program for a short time. When I try to open itunes at a later time I get the original error message. The only way I can get itunes to run again is to uninstall and reinstall again, only to repeat the same results. How can I get itunes to install and run without any problems?
