Hello, did an Itunes Update kill my Computer?

Hello, since yesterday I'm owning a new Ipod Shuffle and I like it. For the Ipod shuffle it was necessary to update my Itunes, which I've been always denying. Now the computer runs very slow and even Skype and Mail OS don't open at all anymore. It's pretty annoying -- please help me.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Well it is possible that's why it wants to update iTunes. There may be a bug in the iTunes version you have installed that slows your machine if you connect the new iPod shuffle. Regardless, my advice:
1. Dismount and disconnect the iPod.
2. Determine if the slowness exists without the iPod.
- a. If it does not exist without the iPod, perhaps your USB cable is faulty, or the iPod is faulty. Try a different cable, also try connecting it via a different USB port, and try connecting only Apple devices via USB. If none of the above works to stave off the slowness, the iPod is likely the culprit, and you should use the store return period to get a replacement iPod.
- b. If the slowness exists without the iPod, see if you installed anything along with the iPod, if you can remove it. First see if the disk is too full*:

Or if permissions or the directory are damaged*:

If neither appears to be the case, see my user tip about downgrading:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1308817&tstart=0
The same holds true for uninstalling system level software, assuming you did install something new with the iPod.
If you didn't install anything new with the iPod, it may be time, to consider upgrading to the latest iTunes, keeping my FAQ* in mind about backing up first:

  • I did the itunes update on my computer and how I cant get Itunes to work.

    I am upset, I did the typical update that I tunes gives you and now I can't get it to work at all. It says I need permission to use it, or that the moible system is not working which I am not sure what that means at all.

  • I just did an itunes update on my windows vista 64 and have been getting a runtime error eversense.  Unstalled everything apple per microsoft forum discussions and solved the problem.  When is apple going to update this problem for itunes?

    I just recently did an itunes update on my Windows Vista 64 and have been getting a runtime C++ R0634 error ever since. Per microsoft forum discussions, I have removed everything apple on my computer to get this runtime error to stop.  When I tried to remove and reinstall itunes, I get an error message during installation and to try again. Has just become a cycle.  Apple, are you working on this? 

    I have exactly the same problem.  Got update notice from Apple for iTunes and getting the C++ runtime error R0634 ever since.  I have no clue how to fix it....meantime, I can't even pull up Outlook to check email.  HELP!!

  • IPod not recognized in iTunes updater or my computer

    I know this scneario has been worked over a lot lately but I have not found anything that works.
    About 2 weeks ago my computer stopped recognizing my Ipod, after working perfectly for a year. iTunes updater or my computer can't find it though Ipod does show it is charging in the dock. I did the 4 of 5 Rs I could, changed the fire wire port & cable. I took the Ipod to the Apple Store, it worked perffectly on their Windows machine. I ran MSCONFIG diagnostics with all 3rd party startup items turned off except iTunes & Ipod services --no change. Then put the Ipod in disk mode & ran MSCONFIG again with all 3rd party startup items turned off including Ipod services & iTunses. My Computer still could not recognize that anything was plugged into the I drive (where it used to show up). Any suggestions?

    I've just deleted everything on my iPod so that the computer maybe would recognize it,it still doesnt and I don't know what the **** the proplem is,I am angry because I don't understand. Why the **** are these things supposed to be so great when after a couple of weeks they get some technical problem and then just don't want to co-operate. Before I deleted everything,there were some songs it didnt want to play and others it would play but somewhere out in the song it would stop and skip to the next song. It also would just all of a sudden restart itself without being any problem at all. Whenever I connected it to the computer,the computer would steal some battery,and a couple of days ago the computer stopped recognizing the computer. Will somebody tell me what the **** is going on with it?

    Have him sync his phone to iTunes on his own computer/account, and it should put everything back for him.

    I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    I tried to re-install and got the following message:  iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
    Does this mean I have now lost everything?

    I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says.  I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
    Good luck!

  • Why can I no longer install iTunes updates on my computer? I keep getting messages saying it fails, and to do it manually, but then I get popups questioning whether I have the authority to make these changes. And it never updates.

  • Did the iTunes update & now it won't work at all!

    I downloaded the iTunes update 2 days ago, and now iTunes won't work because it needs 10.4.9+ & all I have is 10.4.8
    I tried to download the 'Combo' 10.4.11 but it crashed my system (the 'Restart' hung with turning wheel for over 2 hours) & I had to reboot from disk at the cost of several hours.
    I only use iTunes for listening to the radio worldwide, nothing else. I have no iPod, have no purchased music.
    Is there any way to uninstall the update? iTunes was just fine for me before the update.
    Or, is there any way to install the 10.4.11 from a friend's disks? - since it's just an 'Update' which is available online, it doesn't sound like it would be illegal, but I want to keep "Kosher". I am assuming that even though the downloaded update crashed my system, loading from disk should work.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am not very computer literate, so the simpler the better!

    Finally solved the problem by going back to an older version of iTunes, which I found on FileHippo.com - I chose version 7.0 since I had no idea what older version I used to have.
    The uninstall was the hard part, but these instructions did the trick:
    http://www.oldapps.com/forum/showpost.php?p=925&postcount=34
    Even then, when I got the "iTunesSetup.exe", clicking on it got the message:"iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a later version of iTunes". Apparently some fragment of the "update was hiding somewhere.
    I finally solved this by right-clicking (option+click) on it.
    So now I have iTunes back & have no need for the "Combo Update"
    At this point, having had a week of frustration from that worse-than-useless "Update", I have no intention of messing with any more "Updates". This computer is, and will remain a 10.4.8 machine.

  • HT1926 Trying to download itunes update on my computer windows Xp... Tried 3 times and keep getting an error: invalid signature/will not be installed. HELP

    iTunes is downloaded, been using it for years.  I went to download an update and I keep getting an error.Error message is: invalid signature/will not install.
    I did try to update manually as instructed however that also came with the same error.
    If someone can advise it would be greatly appreciated.
    So what is an invalid signature and how to fix it???

    I would think the link doesn't work now as we are on version 10.7.
    If you go to:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads
    the latest update for itunes is in the left hand column.  If you follow the rest of the instructions from wiclee/fimeck it should work.
    "Select "Save" instead of "Run". Once downloaded, right click the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe and select 'Run as Administrator' to install."  (or use default)

  • HT1925 I am having an issue with loading Itunes. I receive a missing dll file notice. Then another error message. I have reinstalled Windows & still get the error. I did not get the error until I recently did an ITunes update.

    I am having an issue with ITunes after a recent ITunes update. I can not open ITunes, I get a message missing MSVCR80.dll file, Then an error 7 message. I have redone the OS for Windows 7 and restarted the computer. I keep getting the errors.

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

  • ITunes update on HP computer.

  • Latest update causing problems with my itunes update on my computer,

      Have had to delete itunes on my computer to try to get this update to upload. I cannot even access an earlier version.  I have tried everything from uninstalling to cleaning my hard drive and still it will not install.

    ITunes update 11.1.4 would not install and I received the following error message.
    "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". 
    A temporary solution was to restore my system to a date before the 11.1.4 update was applied.
    This worked and I was again able to use iTunes except that synchronisation between iTunes, my iphone and ipad was frustrated. I received an message to the effect that “you need to turn on synchronisation in isync preferences before you can sync contacts and calendars.”
    Further research on these boards revealed that this problem too was apparently caused by the Apple update could only be resolved by installing the latest version of iTunes i.e. 11.1.4
    Thus  a clean install of iTunes 11.1.4 was obviously necessary for complete functionality.
    Thus I followed the procedures detailed by Turingtest2 here
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562
    I carefully deleted all of the Apple related programs and folders I could find as suggested.
    I had problems deleting Apple Mobile Device Support.  I eventually managed it though by variously
    using CONT-ALT-DEL  to enter Task Manager and then Processes and then halted(ended) any Apple process I was able to find.  It eventually deleted but not without a struggle!
    I then performed a clean installation as described ensuring I right clicked on the download and selected Run as Administrator.
    Itunes 11.1.4 was then installed with no loss of previously downloaded material – books music etc.
    Not impressed with this Apple update at all…… a seemingly very cavalier approach to customer care.
