Help - mini hates iTunes v6

Problem first appeared with my old computer. Mini is approx 14 mos. old and when I downloaded the itunes 6 in February, I kept on getting an error message saying that Quicktime is out of date and download the new one (which was supposed to be included in iTunes 6. Nothing would work so I removed the v6 and reinstalled by old version. All worked fine until the computer died.
New computer - reinstalled the ipod software included the old version of iTunes and ran the updater. After putting about 150 songs on the mini, I connected it and it overwrote my 500+ song old library so all was well until I ran into an error that said I needed to update to the new iTunes v6 for my purchased music to download to the mini. Against my better judgment, I did and while the iTunes 6 recognizes my mini, it will not copy the library or the folders to the mini itself. Basically, all it will do is charge.
I haven't seen this problem on the forum but sure wish someone could help. Otherwise, I'm stuck with the old version and most of my music but not the purchased music.

hi Kathy!
while the iTunes 6 recognizes my mini, it will not copy the library or the folders to the mini itself.
are you getting an error message when you try to sync? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or is it more like the ipod appears to sync properly, but when you disconnect, no songs are there on the ipod?
or is something else going on? if so, could you describe it to us? err on the side of too much detail rather than too little.
love, b

I hate iTunes 11 too... and I also want to revert to previous version. But Apple seems to be so incredibly customer-friendly these days that is quite deliberately not publishing clear/simple revert instructions. I think it's a disgrace that Apple removed Cover Flow without warning people who are tempted to upgrade. Absolute disgrace. And now we're stuck with this piece of ..

How do I copy music from my iPod mini to iTunes?

I accidentally deleted music from iTunes and can't find the original CD. The music is on my iPod mini, but I can't copy the music from the mini to iTunes. Help, please. Thanks!
PC Windows XP

Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.

iPod to iPad Mini via iTunes on a laptop.
My wife has an iPod
80 GB
Serial 8M744BXQY5N
Model type MB 029
1.1.2.PC
Her iTunes account was on an old laptop long gone
She does not know what her old Apple ID details for her iPod are.
I have now bought her a mini iPad and we have a new laptop Windows 7
She has an Apple ID for her iPad.
How do we transfer her iPod music to a new iTunes account on the Laptop without losing it all? I am aware of the horror stories surrounding Apple on this issue. If so in ‘Janet and John’ how do we do it?
Can we just sync the iPod to the laptop? Using her new Apple ID?
Be very grateful for any help and advice on this
Thanks Ernie

More than likely, your laptops do not have the high power USB ports necessary to charge an iPad. They will charge the iPad, but incredibly slowly. In fact, if the screen comes on, it draws too much power and causes the not charging message to show.
Your best bet is to sync with the computer, then use the provided power adaptor to charge the iPad from a wall outlet.

How do I get my old Itunes back? I HATE Itunes 11

I liked the old version of Itunes better, I HATE Itunes 11 HOW DO I REVERT TO THE OLD ONE? HELP and not lose my music library

To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Made a restore to a new mini but iTunes music is there but it won't play. States "look for files"???

Made a restore to a new Mac mini and iTunes music is there but won't play. It states "can't find file. Look for it???"

I have heard of some people having a similar problem, which was resolved by a simple restart of their iPhone. If that doesn't help you, you may want to consider de-authorizingyour computer in iTunes, then re-authorizing it and performing a sync to your iPhone again.

Hello please hepl me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you

I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

I Hate iTunes. Seriously. So much.

[Edit: This is more of a iTunes for Macintosh Problem then a windows problem. Windows works perfectly =)]
I wanted to work on my friend's laptop while i listened to music on my iPod, but my iPod was dead, so i decided i would plug in my iPod and let it charge on his Apple laptop while i used omnigraffle pro to do some work for EA.
Long story short, iTunes F*ing booted up when i plugged in my iPod and updated my iPod with his non-existant music library on the laptop i was using. All my music - gone -
I'll explain further if you enjoy reading.
Now i KNOW that iTunes is notorious for doing this(i've had some close calls in the past), so before i plugged in my iPod i checked in the preferences to see if i could turn off auto-update before plugging in my ipod (My friend has the latest version of iTunes, version 7.2. I think the layout is ugly buggy. I use the old version 6 becuase it works and simple). Alas, there were no such options that i could find, and i looked multiple times. I know on the windows version that i use, you can "Manually update songs and playlists" through the preferences tab.
So then i asked my brother, and since we both use the windows version, he's like "ya it should ask you before it tries to update anything when you plugged it in, so dont worry", and i plugged in my ipod.
iTunes reads the iPod, it begins to say, "UPDATING IPOD- DO NOT DISCONNECT", and im like hmmmmk. Thats normal? The whole thing took about 5 seconds.
Then i try to play my music, which it has listed, but every single song has gone AWOL on my iPod, and it just endlessly cycles through every song on my ipod.
Im now in the process of putting all my music library back onto my ipod, but there is a lot of music from my old computer that was on my iPod that is not on my new computer, which i use right now. There is also a lot of music i created which is gone. =(
So i guess, in other words, i really hate iTunes. I hate it for being so dumbed down that i cant do something as simple as change how my iPod is updated. I hate it for making me waste a lot of my time with this.
i just wanted everyone to be aware of this!

I think because you had set the iPod to manually manage, it didn't ask when plugged into the Mac.
There are several ways to prevent it though (this should work on both Windows and Mac):
1) Kill the iTunes Helper application before connecting the iPod.
2) Open iTunes and open the preferences dialog. This blocks the update from occurring.

Restore ipod mini freezes itunes and doesn't restore

I can't manage any music on my ipod mini with itunes. So I decided to try the restore...Everything goes smoothly until I get to the progress bar where itunes is "restoring" my ipod. After an hour of waiting and the bar sitting at about a millimeter completed I close itunes. I've also updated, and reinstalled itunes many times. My music is still on my ipod and it still charges and works perfectly except when I want to manage my music. Please help :P

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.
- 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.

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?
