Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...
I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
Any help with this?
Windows XP
download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.

My macbook won't let me download the new version of itunes and my ipod won't sync without the new version of itunes. Please help!!!
Are you running Snow Leopard or later?
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply. -

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer. -
I am having major issues with the new version of Final Cut x, I have missing clips and my computer is locking up, I need to finish some projects so is there away to go back to the last version before the new update?
Not unless you have saved a copy of the previous version; also, any libraries that you have updated to use in the newer version will not be usable in the older version anyway.
Rather than going back you should try and figure out what is wrong. The current version works great for most users. Start by clearing your preferences: hold down command and option keys while starting FCP X, and confirm when asked. Many different issues can often be solved by just that.
In case it doesn't solve, please provide more detailed information like OS version, Ram, drive and connection, etc -
Issues with new version of Pages and minimizing size of screen
Is there a way to make the pages window smaller? I usually have multiple windows open when making school notes and the new version of pages only lets me decrease the size of the window to a certain limit which is very frustrating!
Checked with Pages 5.2 and that still exists.
You can Open/Close the Format sidebar but unfortunately you need it most of the time and it is attached to every single document.
RDD (Really Dumb Design).
Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?
You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem. -
Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
JimHello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

I downloaded a new version of iTunes and now Firefox won't open iTunes
I loaded new version of iTunes and Safari. When system restarted - iTunes won't open. I deleted Safari - still no go.
I'm having this issue as well. Anytime I click on items that would normally open in Itunes, it tells me I need to install Itunes. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes to no avail. In looking in Firefox's preferences, there's no reference to Itunes in the Applications tab.

I am trying to download the new version of itunes and it is stating that it has an invalid signature and the downloan has been removed. How can I download it or get the signature?
Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine. Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains. Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive. Tried moving "iTunes Library" file. Did not work. Never had trouble like this before.
Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
Thanks again. -
What do I do when I am trying to install my new version of itunes, and it says this: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.
I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

I attempted to install the new version of Itunes and I keep getting a R6034 error. What do I do?
Hi davemac123,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
You can find the article with these steps and more information here:
