HT4972 I am trying to update my iphone 4S which has ios 4.2.1 and update either to ios 5 or 6. have got the latest itunes but everytime I try to update through itunes it doesn't go anywhere, it gets stuck on backing up. help?
I have the latest iTunes, but it seems to get stuck on the back up stage; its not that it can't back up as it happens every time I connect, but when I click upgrade to ios 6, then it suddenly takes a long time and eventually just doesn't go anywhere. even left it running overnight but didn't happen. Just doesn't take the next step of uploading the operating system. help would be greatly appreciated, have been trying to do this for two days now
Hello Rebel1453
Check with the article to go over troubleshooting issues with connecting to the iTunes Store as it needs to download the software for your update.

I have downloaded the latest itunes for window 7 but it will not open on my computer
I have downloaded the latest Itunes software but it will not open on my computer
Try this article: TS2363
That may help it out. -
I have downloaded the latest I-Tunes, but am hating it with a vengence. The 'colour' touches are nice, but its lost that certain something. It all seems a little like hardwork, in that you have to search for everything? The I-Cloud icon sits next to you're I-Tunes, & with out knowing it, you have suddenly made another 'play list' ?
Please, I-Tunes, spend 'our' hard earned cash on better Quality recordings & Security. This is what we want. Please, make our I-Tunes simple again & most definatley, hassle free.
We don't want to be waiting to play our favourite tunes after selecting them, only to find them on 'another list' & will not play to we have prompted 'said' list.
I use my I-Pod for my gym work & running. I want to know that once I have requested my Playlist, I can get on with my training.
I don't want to hear Nothing because I didn't click my favourite tunes, but instead 'Selected' them, or (somehow) send them to I-Cloud, or even worse, hear the same tune over & over & over again, because again, I didn't click to play, but clicked to 'select'.You are not addressing Apple here at all.

I've selected my iPhone from the device list. I've started iTunes but I'm not seeing the Info tab as shown in this knowledge article. What program has the Info tab?
I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

Okay, so I got the latest update and apparently it doesn't work. I had an icon on my desktop that wouldn't open because the 'newer Itunes' is apparently corrupt or something. Going into my applications, I found another Itunes icon and it opens up, but not the F7, F8 and F9 keys aren't working with it. I've already tried installing the latest version and that hasn't helped. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

I am trying to update to the latest version of itunes on Windows 8.1, but midway through installation it tells me that it does not have permission to access a folder in the itunes resources, something like Ja.laprog\printing templates. I am signed in as administrator and I am unsure how to solve this. Thank you.
Hey guys. I'm running into an issue when trying to update webOS to the latest 1.0.4 version. I have access to WiFi and EVDO, I'm currently on version 1.0.3 and my battery life is at 100%. I'm adding the screenshots of the pre-download update screen and post download/validation error message I get.
I've noticed that the size of 1.0.4 on most of the sites shows as 12MB, but my pre says it's 3MB:
After it downloads and runs validation I get the following message:
I've tried updating many timessince the day the update came out with the same result over and over. I've tried doing a soft reset from the Pre and also restarting it completely, but no luck. -

It's driving me nuts and it happened before I downloaded iOS 6.. Someone please help.
SOmeone else posted a similar post. Check your settings to make sure your account hasn't disabled downloads/updates or restricked to a data amount/Wifi only, or secure Wifi, etc.
IMO you need to go to the Apple Store if none of what I typed is helpful.
Hope this helps you.....I assume your phone is not jail broken. -
Where do I download Apple Support Application for Itunes?
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 so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I have bought numerous other books before & have never had a problem before now.
Hi Natalie ..
Try re downloading the book. You won't be charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
It just locks by computer up and I have to do control/alt/delete to get it to go away. Any help?
even in safemode? when does the hang occur - just when you visit the site/when you attempt to hit the download link/when the download job is close to finishing & what kind of security software is running on your computer?
you might also want to just try using IE or another browser for this one download to avoid all the hassle... -

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!
