Ok, that gives some usefull info.
Mostly this occours with iTunes for Windows on Windows systems.
On Mac it is most likely a permissions problem. This can happen sometimes after major system updates.
First Aid
Close all running applications
Go to Disk Utility
Force a permission repair to your harddrive ( e.g. MacIntosh HD)
Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair permissions on file xy" There caused as you perform the task on a running system and opened files could not be touched.

I cannot burn a CD from iTunes...please help!
I desperately need to back up all the music I have purchased and I cannot burn a CD from iTunes for some reason. I went through the trouble-shooting on this website and still had no luck. I tried to load the songs into my iPod and transfer them to my laptop iTunes as a backup but there's no way all my music will fit on my Nano. So I'm wondering if there's any other way to back up my music files...can I copy them to a zip drive or external hard drive? I am so not tech-savvy and I have so much money invested in my iTunes library. Thanks in advance!
Here's a link to the list of iTunes forums:

Don't worry about it, it's no big deal, I just wanted you to know that in the future you may get more help in there. -
When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?
iPhone 4So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -
Seriously? Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro? I cannot believe that there is not any way around this! I seem to constantly get confounded by what seems to be the most amazingly unbelievable conundrums with Apple despite having been a champion of the company for years and years. This relates to tethering on iPhone, external Apple hard drives only being usable with MacBook Air, and now this! If anyone is aware of a hack or way around this I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!
"Seriously? "
Yes.
" Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro?"
There is not.
" I cannot believe that there is not any way around this!"
Believe it. -

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -
I rented a movie using iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but it won't move to my first Generation Apple TV
I justed downloaded a Rented Movie from iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I did it through United Airlines e-miles to get credits. Now, when I try to move it from the Rented Movies to the On "Apple TV" box on my Apple TV box, it stays in it for no longer than 35 seconds after I click on Apply and then moves back to the "Rented Movies" box. The only thing that appears in the Apple Symbol progress box is Syncing "Apple TV" is "Copying 2 of 2: IMG_0318" and them it moves back to the "Rented Movies Box. The same message appears if I click on Sync with it still in the "Rented Movies" box.
How can I overcome this problem? I have 29 days and 23 houors to solve this problem, but would like to do it for watching NLT Monday, 21 May 2012, evening!Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

My purchased music on apple tv won't sync with iTunes on my macbook pro
I purchased music through my Apple TV and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to sync/redownload the music to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro! Is there any way around signing up for iTunes Match? Or is that the only way? I've read on another discussion that if I try to delete my music on Apple TV and then redownload it on my MacBook it might register that I've already purchased it and hopefully not charge me twice, BUT now I cant figure out how to delete music from my Apple TV! Im usually very "tech-savvy" but am having a rough time thus far, someone help!
Quick links is still there, top right corner of home page in iTunes store (use your Macbook Pro).
Check for available downloads is not the same thing. Syncing an iPhone will only transfer content that is already downloaded. If you have not setup automatic downloads you will need to download from your purchase history. -
I have an audibook that I purchased in iTunes on my MacBook Pro but cannot figure out how to sync it to my iPad. I would like to listen to the audibook on my iPad not MacBook Pro. Please help!!
Unfortunately, if you are using Safari on the iPad, you can't post a screen shot. You can with other browsers that will identify as a desktop browser, but not with Safari. Safari is so limited on the iPad and ironically, it is the worst browser that you can use on the Apple Support Communities help forum.
You can post a link to the screen shot if you use Photo Bucket or any cloud based photo site. In any event, if you don't see it in the More Tab, I don't know that the screen shot would help. It certainly wouldn't hurt though.
Are you sure that you selected the book to sync in iTunes? -
Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro.
Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro. It is stuck on the lowest level in which i can't view the screen without a flash light. Please i need help how to solve this. I was on my computer when i checked the back which it was really dusty, i tried unscrewing the bottom however some screws were too tight so i took it upon myself and got a rod and startedremoving the dust off the vents and i may have clicked something as i closed the lid on the macbook i could hear the sounds still from the film but the lid was closed as i opened it back up the brightness was on low but sounds were still playing. All the buttons work , all of the F keys, apart from the brightnes keys. I can shine a tourch on the screen and see the display but the brightness will not change but i can see when i click the brightness it says it changes. I have connected it to a spare tv i have via hdmi and i really need help as this is my primary computer and i need it for work when going away. Thank you

Movies Purchased on iTunes via iOS Devices not showing up in iTunes on my MacBook Pro
I have some 40 movies that I have purchased through iTunes on my iPhone. They all show up on my iOS devices as well as my Apple TV but only 8 of them show up on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have read threads from other users that found a resolution to their problem by "unhiding" the movies through iTunes in the Cloud but my account only shows Manage Devices & iTunes Match, so that didn't help unfortunately. I am runing the latest version of Mountain Lion and iTunes and I have gone to "Check for Available Downloads" but a window just pops up saying "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID". Does anyone have any ideas or guidance on what I could or should do?
Hello RepsolRider
Go to the iTunes Store > Purchases, and then you should be able to see your purchases. Click the cloud icons to download your purchases. Also go to iTunes Preferences, go to the Store tab and make sure that Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases is checked.
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Why can't I rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro?
I am trying to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I click on the gray rent movie button it does NOTHING, like I never clicked on it. I am signed in, I authorized the computer and have rented movies in the past. I do have OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3(25) because I haven't purchased new software to upgrade something that works just fine, until now. I'm not sure if the software is the problem because I have rented movies in the past 6 months. I have just tried to purchase other movies, and even songs, and it doesn't do anything when I click the gray price to purchase the song. Please help.
Same exact thing just started happening to me. Same issues as you. I have tried restarting itunes and reinstalling many times with no luck at all.

I had my iPod synced with iTunes on my iBook (OS 10.4.11) and then the iBook crashed and I had to replace it with a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8). I want to transfer all of the stuff on my iPod to my iPhone 4S through the MacBook Pro. But, I do not want to upgrade the iPod iOS (4.1) because my wife will use it with her iMac (OS 10.4.11). She has no interest in upgrding the iMac OS to support iOS 5. Can I sync the iPod with iTunes on the MacBooK Pro without upgrading the iOS from 4.1 to 5.? This will let me go back to the iMac and sync the iPod with it. I only need to do this once to offload everything on the iPod to the MacBook Pro and then to the iPhone. I'm very reluctant to try this for fear of ending up with an iPod that won't sync with the iMac. Thanks for any help you can offer.
RossIt will never automatically update. You always will ahev to tell it to update. it will never update unless you tell it to.
The pics and music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Cop everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro and now when I open iTunes I can not access the iTunes store; however, I can access the Apps store. I have tried reinstalling iTunes. I have tried changing the pop up/cookie settings in Firefox and Safari. I have logged out and also shut down my MacBook. I have tried changing the Firewall settings on my MacBook. I have googled possible ways to get the iTunes store to work and nothing has helped so far. Please help.
