  • Itunes keeps freezing up when trying to play a rented movie.

    I recently rented a movie from itunes using the $2.99 SD copy. I downloaded it and then prepared to watch but instead of playing the movie freaked out and froze my itunes. The only way it would do anything was when I exitted out. I've tried restarting my computer twice, have opened and closed itunes mutliple times. I believe I have the most recent version of itunes (11.02). I have 24 hours to watch my movie and it is not working! Help please! Is there any way to fix this. I've tried making sure itunes is the only thing open, but even then it doesn't work.

    Hello authorsgirl27,

    My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?

    Yes, you will.
    Do you have the songs still?
    You could add them to your new library if you do.

  • HT1926 my windows computer will not allow me to open itunes when i just installed it, it says it did not instal itunes helper or itunes support, so i have to reinstall it, i keep doing that but nothing changes.

    every time i try to install iunes on my windows computer, it says that the itunes helper was not intalled or itunes support was not installed and that i need to reinstall itunes, i keep doing that but nothing changes. Any suggestions?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • •Ever since my fiancee had his Ipod touch malfunction my computer will not allow me to reinstall Itunes or any other kind of installer? I was on the web for ten hours trying to figure out what I can do!

    I am not sure what it is that happened?
    But, I think it was his Ipod that messed the computer installer up!
    I can download Itunes, but I am not able to run it?
    I also cannot run any other kind of programs on my computer since this had happened!
    I finally got his Ipod to show the usb and the Itunes ogo but now can't re-install the Itunes to restore his Ipod!
    If anybody has any ideas I will keep trying!
    Thank you for reading!

  • I am trying to install new CAD software, but the computer will not open the ".dmg" file so the installation can begin.  H  E  L  P  !  !  !

    I am trying to install ViaCAD v7.2 for Mac, but when I try to open the ".dmg" file, it will not open, so the installation never begins.

    I was trying to find the system specifications ViaCAD v7.2 but wasn't too successful. However I found the App Store has V8.0.2, have you already purchased 7.2? If so perhaps you could request an exchange for a more current version.

  • I tried to update my ipod, but it now it is not going past the apple sign.

    I tried to update my ipod. but now its stuck.
    if you turn it on, you can´t get past the apple sign.
    I tried to restore it with itunes, but it says it can not restore.
    because you have to get the latest version of itunes.
    but I already have the latest version, so I can not restore.
    please help, because I can not do anything with it now..

    - On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup is listed.
    - For iCloud backup. , with the iPod setup with the same iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage and see if one is listed.
