HT1212 iTunes wont work to restore my perm. disabled ipad 2 ios 7. HELP

Recently, for christmas I recieved an iPad 2. I got it set up, working fine, entered my password. I got Clash of Clans, and Boom Beach on it (probably doesn't matter...) and turned it off to go do something else. Once I picked it up again, I entered my sure to be password, it didnt work. I tried entering it many times, eventually tried different passwords, then, it was permanentely disabled. I didn't know what to do, and my sister got one for christmas too. We were having problems with her power cord & plugging it into the iPad, and I decided to go too to get help. We went there (by the way we are not the most wealthy people.. you'll kinda need to know this), and while we were there, they told me to either be charged 50$, or do it yourself and search on google. Naturally, I said **** no and went for the manual thing. Also, at the time after we got help, we were heading to my friend josh's house to hang out, he said (on the phone) he knows how to fix it, and also wanted me to come over. I went to his, and he asked his dad to help, since he had done it 3 weeks previously on his ipad 2. He said he needed to do it on a different device, because it would just put josh's stuff onto mine. So after I went home, I immediately searched how to do it, took me about 5 minutes to find a helpful site. So I followed instructions, then it says exactly: "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. This device is not eligible for the requested build."-iTunes. If you can, please email @ [email protected], [email protected], or call 604-913-7977, I NEED HELP. I am using a quite old macbook pro, do not know what version exactly... I went on this site for my info on how to put it in recovery and restore: osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

If recovery mode does not help, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 then you can go into DFU mode by powering down the iPad, connect it to your computer, hold the power button on the iPad for 3 seconds, then while continuing to hold the power button, press and hold the home button for 10 seconds, then continue to hold the home button and release the power button. After about 20 seconds the computer with iTunes should see the iPad and place it in restore mode.

Help App store and Itunes wont work on my ipod touch 4G with ios 5.0.1

When I open the app store or itunes store and try to search something it freezes and crashes I need help

Try resetting the iPod...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPod. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Now try the App or iTunes Store.
If you still need help try here > Can't connect to the iTunes Store

My ipod was disabled too many times, and itunes wont let me restore it

my ipod password was changed, and now it was disables to many times itunes wont let me restore it, what do i do?

Without knowing why it will not restore:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

ITunes wont work because of DEP

My itunes wont work because of DEP closing it. I have tried unistalling my quicktime and unistalling my itunes and reinstalling them but it still wont work. i have followed a couple of discussions but it still wont work. Can someone help me please.

many thanks. That's got another possibility ruled out.
Checking again. When you did your iTunes reinstall, was it a complete iTunes uninstall/reinstall as per the instructions from the following documents?
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Otherwise software may be attempted to access the drive. The the computer up in Safe Mode by holding shift when you turn it on. Also be sure to power off and on the hard drive itself.

I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

Please help me!! I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Itunes wont work anymore...error 7

My itunes wont work anymore on my latop, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it but when i try to get in to my itunes and error 7 message will pop up saying that it was installed incorrectly and ive installed it several times to find the same thing happening. I dont know what to do anymore so if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it a lot!!!

I got an upgrade iTunes request from Apple. And upgraded. I should never have done that. Now it says that "iTunes is not properly installed". Other strange messages are also coming up, like missing .dll files etc.
I have deleted all Apple programs. Used Revo Uninstall that also deletes registry files and left over files. I have used ByeiTunes and Registry mechanic. I have used everything that is suggested on this site:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
After doing all this, I got the same error message. So what wrong with Apple? When you have bought the product, you are left out in the dark. I have given up. Synchronizing the calendar with Outlook I can do manually, pictures that I have downloaded to my phone, I can access directly, and pictures taken by the phone I have to send to myself through e-mail. Music I never download using iTunes.
I have had enough. After this and after Apple has changed the plug that leaves me with 8 useless chargers and stands, there will be Samsung next time. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bits.
Hans (Professor of Marketingy). I wonder if Apple is reading this?

The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

Itunes wont work because of quicktime or something?

ok
well heres the deal
itunes was working fine for me
until one day i decided to upgrade cause it said i should
from then on
now it wont open because it says i need a high version of quicktime. it says i have quicktime 6.5 i and i need 7.0
however
everytime i try to download quicktime 7.0
it still doesnt open
what am i doin wrong?

hi Connie!
how do u kno if u have a k lite mega code pack?
hmm. i think it's something you need to install, so if you don't know you have it, you probably don't have it.
let's try this again, using a QT 7.0.3 standalone installer this time.
first use the QT part of the uninstall instructions given here to get rid of that existing QT you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
after you do that, download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and use it to check if you still have an entry for Quicktime. if so, remove it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
then download the standalone QT 7.0.3. save it to your hard drive (we'll run the installation from there rather than online). again, switch off any antivirus and antispyware prior to the install:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
reboot after that install. will itunes run properly now?
love, b

Just got new hard drive and now itunes wont work

I had my hard drive replaced in April and started having problems right away. I finally had a chance to bring it in today and they replaced the hard drive again. I don't have an external hard drive so I couldn't back up my music that way, so I tried using CDs and that didn't work either. At the store, the guy that was helping me suggested I use a flash drive. So, he did that for me. He said when I set up the computer I should open the flash drive first and drag and drop the saved music into the music folder and then open itunes. I did the first part but when I opened itunes I got a message saying "The file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.
Does anyone know what that means? itunes wont open at all and I can't even listen to my old music. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try using the File>Add to Library option? I would dump everything you put in the music folder, since it's not recognizing it, and then try to re-import it using that option.
Technically, the prompt means that you're using, for example, iTunes 7 to try to open a file that iTunes 9 created, and it won't be able to do it. Do you know what version of iTunes you used to create the original file, and which version you're using now? It's hard to imagine the one you're currently using is older than the one creating the file.
