How do I download new version of itunes?

Hi, probably a really stupid question but I too have had all the problems with itunes not showing tracks etc in lower hal; of screen and now gather that I need to download new itunes 6.0 - only problem is that I have no idea how to! Do I save or run the file? If I save, where to?
Will I lose all my music? All very confusing and unfortunately Apple website is less than helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Save the file to your desktop. It will be named iTunesSetup.exe.
Turn off all your internet security before you run it, Norton esp is causing problems.
There's a lot more talk about it over in the Installations & Upgrades discussions.
IMPORTANT: You should always back up your music!
There have been quite a few instances of the library not getting recognized, but the music wasn't deleted....they just had to tell iTunes where the songs were.
Three cases so far of people losing purchased music and not having backups.

  • Downloading new versions of itunes for i phone

    I must say that I am constantly disappointed with my iphone and how it updates for newer versions of itunes.
    It seems that every time i get a new version, I am having to restore my phone after each download from apple. this is extremely time consuming and down right annoying.
    After having my iphone not a few months, i'm starting to regret the initial decision to buy it.
    thanks a lot for the lost hope apple

    After downloading the new update on Saturday 11-27-10 my iphone now freezes up, I contacted the help line and they informed me for a "small fee" of $30.00 they would tell me how to fix it. WHAT?? The store recommends the updates and after loading the updates, my phone now wants to freeze up and stay frozen for 30 minutes and it is constantly asking me for my password and you want to charge me for a bug in your software?? I am soooo disappointed with I-tunes and after encouraging friends and family to buy this product I am now discouraging them!!!!

  • Downloaded new version of itunes, did a sync on my ipod and now music from my external drive is missing?  Help

    Downloaded new version of itunes, and then subsequently performed a sync on my ipod nano as I had purchased a new song from itunes store.  I now only have 25 songs on my ipod as it removed all of my other music.  My music is stored on an external drive.  I downloaded the music there from cd's that I own.  Can anyone help me fix this.  I am going on holidays soon and want to have my ipod loaded with music for the trip.  Thanks

    hi mike,
    First of all, your music is not gone. Its there, I promise. Second of all, you need to always make sure you backup your music elsewhere because funky things happen and computers do take nosedives.
    Ok, go into File on the iTunes Task bar and click on add folder to library. Your music files should be under my documents>my music. Let me know how it goes...

    Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
    Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
    Hope this helps.

    Repair your Apple Software Update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you donot find ASU from All Programs, go to Control Panel/Add and Remove programs.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
