HT1711 Need to upgrade iTunes but laptop says it can't because iTunes was improperly installed. If I uninstall, will I loose everything?
I need to upgrade iTunes but my laptop say's it can't because iTunes was improperly installed to begin with. If I uninstall iTunes, will I loose all the work I've put into my downloads and my playlists?

No.
However, you do maintain complete and regular backups of your computer, correct?
For iTunes, the iTunes library is the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder.

iv just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says it can only be sync with 1 itunes, any way around this?
The iPhone like all iDevices is not a storage device, it is merely a mirror of the content in the library to which it is synced.
If you wish to sync to a new computer, the first step is to copy or move the iTunes media library from the old computer to the new computer. This can be done via the network or by using an external hard drive.
Once the library has been moved, simply sync to the new computer. -

The 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. You have two choices:
- Live with not using the latest apps.
- Purchase a newer model iPod. -

My Iphone4S was in the middle of updating its latest software then suddenly it switched off, it hasnt turned on since and I've tried to reset it but only the apple sign appears then the plug into ittnes symbol. I've tried to plug it into itunes but it says my phone is on repair mode which is why it needs to be restored first in order to connect to itunes. I have also then tried to restore it but the error sign appears.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
I need to download the latest itunes but it says i already have it installed?
i need to download the latest itunes but it says i already have it installed?
Open the iTunes application, go to the upper left to About iTunes and see what version it says you are running.
Did you actually run an updater?
Use Spotlight to see if you have multiple copies of the iTunes Application on your computer. -
My ipod was updating overnight. I woke up to find the screen frozen with the itunes logo and the usb charger. I've tried hooking it up to itunes but it says I need to restore and update but I've tried to do that and it won't. What should I do?
- Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
- Next try DFU mode and restore.

Hi can anyone help? I have an Iphone 4 which I tried to download ios7 to, but it says on screen, connect to itunes, which I have tried, but it says I need the original cd? I dont recall receiving one, so does this mean the phone has to be reset, if so how?
Thanks in advance, Tracy.Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer as you will need it? It can be downloaded from the Apple site via the iTunes menu at the top of the screen.
It sounds like your phone is in Recovery Mode, more on this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
