How do I continue a suspended iTunes installation?
Today I was going into my iTunes on my computer and it said that an update was available. I clicked to start, but then I cancelled the installation. When I did that, the iTunes shortcut disappeared from my desktop and I can't get onto iTunes at all. I tried downloading iTunes again but it said I couldn't because the most recent update was suspended.
How do I get iTunes back onto my computer?
Hey musicfreak8920,
Thanks for the question. The best solution will be to completely remove iTunes and related components, then reinstall. The following article will help you through that process:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Once uninstalled, you can install directly from this link:
iTunes 11.0.5

Thanks,

I have currently suspended my jetpack for a 90 day period. How do I continue to suspend this for another 90 days?
Suspensions are only temporary. After the suspension period is up then the device will be reactivated. It is up to you to call/sign in and resuspend any devices of interest. Note that there are some limitations to suspending your devices. In some cases you can only suspend so many times within a period before you lose the ability to do so.
See this knowledge document for more info:

How can I continue to use iTunes with my iPhone if I don't have a 64 bit mac mini?
Frustrated, Dissappointed, Forgotten are my new icons, of late. Why does Apple think we can be stepped over and trampled under foot with mandatory downloads for iTunes 10.4 which disrupts any normal function to access my iphone because the intel Core Duo 1.66 GHZ mac mini can't have 64 bit upgrade.
Plus their Support Download insists on forcing the Lion version on customers holding on to similar model units. While all the buying is going on because of hype and swipe. Now with iTunes 10.4 no iphone appears on the left sidebar which means it doesn't belong on my system. Disfunctional Software! What's the answer how I can obtain only the June level of iTunes which iTunes 10.3.1? And how to keep the system from wanting to update it?

How do I move my iPhone to a new iTunes installation?
Hi folks,
I have a new Windows 7 computer and want to sync my iPhone with it, but iTunes says it's going to delete all of my data. My old computer that I used to sync with is gone; the drive has been reformatted.
I don't care about the music on the phone; I have all of that on my server. However, I'm worried sick about my apps and the data stored within them!! I have years worth of life data, journals, etc, in apps on this phone. How do I tell iTunes, "This is my new computer now; back up and sync here from now on?"
Here's what I've done so far:
1. I authorized the new iTunes installation with my iTunes account.
2. I right-clicked on the phone within iTunes and selected "Transfer Purchases." It appeared to work, said it was copying all of my apps. But when I go to the Apps tab and click "Sync Apps", it tells me it's going to replace all of the apps on my phone with the apps in iTunes. However, I only see two (out of dozens) of my apps there! Did "Transfer Purchases" not do what I expected it to? How can I fix this?
Thank you!It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The iphone will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Also if you sync contacts/calendars to a blank computer, they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup is critical.
If you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good)then, transfer purchases will transfer itunes purchases. Make sure you have authorized the computer for your itunes account(s).
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Backup your iphone:
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
Than make a backup copy of your computer and always maintain it. -
I want 2 separate itunes installations - how to do it?
I want to have a 2nd complete itunes with all my music on an external drive as backup or to take to another computer but when I try to run itunes setup on the external drive it just wants to repair or replace the itunes on my boot drive - how do I make it make me a 2nd itunes on the external drive. I REALLY do not want to mess up the original itunes as there is too much music in to get it all organized again.
JOhnYou cannot install two iTunes programs as you describe. Very few programs nowadays allow one to perform what you want.
There is another way to get what you want. It may be a bit involved to set up, but will work. Managing the syncing between the two 'Libraries' will take some diligence on your part.
Here's what I would do. With a complete and functioning iTunes Library, music files and metadata:
- Close iTunes
- Make a copy of both the Library database file located in the 'My Music\iTunes' folder
- Store the files in a safe folder
- Attach the ExHD to the PC making sure it is a drive letter well down the alphabet ('M', 'N' or 'O') - formally change this if not
- Open iTunes
- Perform a 'move' of your Library to the ExHD as described in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1836529
- Do not delete the original music files on the Root Drive
- Close iTunes
- Make a copy of both the Library database file located in the 'My Music\iTunes' folder - label them so you know they are from the ExHD
- Store the ExHD Library files on the ExHD
- Swap the original Library files with the current ones
- Open iTunes - your original Root Drive Library will be back
What you have just done is to store the music files and Library database files on the ExHD. You can attach the ExHD to any other PC with iTunes installed (Keep a copy of the iTunes Installer files on the ExHD so you can install it easily).
As long as the ExHD is attached to any PC as the same drive as you did initially, you can copy those Library files to the iTunes folder, open iTunes and have a replica of your music, Playlists and metadata.
Of course, changes made to the main iTunes music file will not be reflected in the ExHD file unless you sync the changed music files and the Library databases. It’s a bit more involved, but as a start -- there it is. -
Hi. How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64 bit version of itunes. Why does it keep saying that? Will someone Help me please!? This is is getting frustrating. I already had done a full removal of everything! I even removed and deleted my library...then had to put all 500 songs back on one by one. So, i don't have to remove everything again, just to get my ipod to work on here. You, know before the itunes update, my ipod and itunes were working just fine.
wow, that was a quick reply. lol. but i have removed everything. I wasn't even able to get iTunes on my computer for a little while. i kept getting errors on that. Now it's saying that the required software isn't installed. Hmm, could it be referring to Apple Mobile Device Support? That is supposed to be installed with when iTunes gets installed right? I only ask, because that didn't get installed with the itunes setup.

I'm installing windows 8 64 from iso dvd-I did the partition wiht BCamp 5.
I did the usb drive with the compatibility software-once installation start from the dvd, it ask me for some disk, usb or dvd drivers to continue.
How I can continue the instalation? How I can provide those driver to the instalation process?
Thanks
ManuelYou can't get there with GUID/GPT.
There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record. -
When I updated my iPhone to iOS 6.1.3, somehow the iTunes App did not make it back to my iPhone. So, I now have an iPhone without the iTunes App. All other apps are on my iPhone. How do I get back my iTunes App, so I can continue buying music and flix?
Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
