Having trouble getting updates on laptop for itunes, got them on desktop but my acct. is on laptop  what do i do?

I have a laptop that my itunes account was change over to however i'm still receiving updates on my desktop.  how do I get my lap top udated with itunes so I can update my 3GS

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

    even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
    What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
    And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
    Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
    What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
    Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

  • Having trouble getting your iphone sync with itunes? Click here.

    I, myself, has been one of the many people facing issues with their iphone (5S) being recognized or syncing with itunes after the new update, however, after calling an apple specialist, she taught me how to fix the problem.
    You have to completely uninstall itunes and all of it's components (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support). Simply uninstalling itunes won't do the trick. You have to manually uninstall all of the listed program in your computer's uninstall programs page.
    Please uninstall it in this specific order
    - itunes
    - Apple Software Update
    - Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Application Support
    And then reinstall the latest itunes at :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5654?viewlocale=en_US
    Connect your iphone and it should be good to go! It definitely worked for me! Hope this helps you! Cheers!

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    Also review this support aticle as it might be causing due to internet connection: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368

    Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
    I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
    In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
    At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
    You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
    Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
    FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

  • TS1424 I am having trouble getting Itunes to open

    I am having trouble getting ITUNES to work I have deleted itunes and everything associated with it and reinstalled and I still get the same errors,
    The application has failed to start because of MSVCR80.DLL
    INTUNES WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY  ERROR 7
    THIS APPLICATION FAILED TO START BECAUSE ICUDT49.DLL WAS NOT FOUND

    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.
