Help! is itunes 6 worth downloading? plz read
I was wondering if ne of u have downloaded the recent upgrade to itunes the itunes 6 and if it was worth downloading because i read a bunch of problem ppl were having with itunes 5.01 and i dont wanna download this and then get screwed because i jsut loaded all 60 of my cds on here and that took like 3 days so plz write back
Don't Do it. Stay with wat you got, it works.
iTunes 6 has messed up more windows computers than can be easily counted, the outraged posts on these discussion boards are only the tip of the iceberg so to speak.
I had the older iTunes, it worked great!
But now, on my laptop iTunes 6 acts like some trojan program, trying to make connections to the internet when it's not supposed to do that. When it can't connect, it hangs, and you can not even end-task the dead zombie program.
Nothing else was changed, so it's not a Windows issue.
iTunes 6 will not allow Windows XP Home Ed. to even reboot properly, and no, the combatability mode (Windows 2000) didn't fix it.
I don't know what they did, but iTunes 6 does not seem as stable as the older iTunes.
So, my advice is if you can, Wait for iTunes 6.1 when they have had time to clean up all the problems. And you might wait on getting a video iPod, too. Being first is not always good!
I look forward to Apple's updates.
I've enjoyed iTunes from the start, and it seems each major revision runs into some bugs that need working out, before they get it running smoothly.
Maybe the programmers were forced to rush delivery of the new iTunes with Video? Meeting short deadlines can be very stressful.
I bet everybody has been working very hard to make the major changes to iTunes and the iPod. I know writing software isn't easy, everything has to be perfect!
I just wish Apple would post a small link to download the older versions, so all the people who have now have damaged windows computers could roll-back to the older iTunes and enjoy their music and shop at the music store again.
Good luck to all the programmers, debuggers and QA guys, thank you for making iTunes even better!

Help! iTunes auto-downloading apps I don't use anymore
I don't want iTunes to re-download Broken Sword and Asphalt 5 for the iPad/iPhone. My iTunes is sync'd with my Dropbox and it wastes like a GB of space between the two of them. I have it unchecked in the store section of iTunes to automatically download apps. But after syncing my iPhone they start to download EVERY TIME. Drives me nuts. I've deleted, unchecked the box that says to auto download, etc. I don't have them on my devices either. I will never ever play those games again even though I paid for them. What can I do to have it quit doing that?
try sending an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to remove the item(s) from your download queue.

Help! Itunes isnt downloading showed error 2
I am trying to download iTunes to my windows 7 device. I keep getting an error 2. I then download the installer to my computer and downloaded the WinRAR to extract the downloader. I tried to download the AppleApplicationSupport64.mis but I am not able to download it. After I did that, I got an error that said:

HELP - FRUSTRATED - iTunes 7 Downloaded but will not install
Hi....I have downloaded iTunes. But when I then run the iTunesSetup.exe to install it, I keep getting the exact same message:
"The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime"
That's it. No error number or further explanation. I have deleted/erased all other versions of QuickTime. I have downloaded, run and installed the QuickTime 7 standalone installer from my hard drive and yet I still keep getting the same message I posted above.
This is going on 3 hours now, and I'm not happy.let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing -
I had my vaio serviced and now I have had to download itunes again. After having done so, I no longer am able to see my old playlists on itunes though they are there on my phone.

My first time here on the Support Communities.. I hope I am able to find my way around.

I had to uninstall iTunes because when I connected my ipod and was in that file and clicked on music to add songs that file was empty. Once I downloaded iTunes again a box appeared that said The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes..............so then I unistalled iTunes and downloaded again 4 different times and got the same message each time. I am using a laptop Windows Vista 64 bit system...please help
I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

my facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help
Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!! -

For the first error
Follow the directions and make sure your registry keys have correct permisisons per this article
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or Quicktime For Windows
For the error about CD/DVDs, do you have a Packard Bell PC? If so, search discussions on "Packard Bell" for the answer.
And I'm off to run errands, won't be around for a while. Good luck! -
iphone in recovery mode,i'm restoring and updating to itunes but download cannot be completed...
my phone wont open, i can't even turn the power on.
what to do? pls help
(iphone 4 and iphone 4s)So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

Can anyone help me find a download for 10.6.3 so I can download music on iphone from itunes?
I have updated my software on both the my macpro, as well as my itunes account supposedly.....but I am still being told my iphone 4 is not compatible with the software I am currently using, and that I need to go to itunes to download the latest version which is 10.6.3. This may be Im just not looking in the right place, and Im not the most tech savvy person either, but would really appreciate your help.
thanksJust to be clear, there are a number of things that have versions that sound like are not current, and there's a big difference between "update" and "upgrade" that you should be aware of.
First, iTunes' current version is 11.0.2. In order to run that, you need at least OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running as your Mac's operating system, which is what wjosten is referencing above.
When you are being told to download the latest version, the guidance you are given is for an update. Updates are free. However, being very far behind (as it sounds like you are), you will need to upgrade (not free). As wjosten points out, the SL (Snow Leopard) must be purchased.
By the way, the current OS X operating system release is 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion), so even going to 10.6.8 would leave you quite a bit behind current.
Hope that helps. -

There is no free download to 10.5? I was able to download a 10.5.1 but that wasn't helpful since it required a 10.5 to be downloaded first. Any suggestions?

You MUST buy the upgrade.
It is never free to update to a new OS.
