    Hello CHENSLER68,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.

    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

  • I just downloaded the new operating system and all my apps are in the App store I cannot move them out and create the icons for them I can just open them

    I just downloaded the new operating syaytem and all my apps are STUCK in the app store . I can open them in the app store but can NOT creat icons with them only open them

    If they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to your phone.  If not, restore your iCloud backup.  If you don't have one, you'll have to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 (however this will not restore your app data).

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.

    Take care,

  • I have downloaded the new itunes update and cannot play any songs when offline any suggestions on what i need to do?

    Recently downloaded the new itunes on a new Mac Air and I can't play any music when I am not online. They all come up with '!' whenever i click on it. Is there a trick to this?

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Did latest update and ALL my music is gone, how do i get this back

    Did latest IPHONE update and ALL my music is gone.  What happened?  How do I get it back?  

    Re sync it from iTunes. If you did the update on a computer, you probably didn't wait long enough for the process to finish. I don't think I like the fact that the phone no longer gives an indication on screen when it's syncing, but that's the way it is. Updating on a computer, it will restore, then re-sync apps and music after the fact. If you're not looking at the status bar in iTunes on the computer, it's easy to think it's completely finished when it isn't.

  • I just downloaded the new itunes software and i cant figure out how to add the music i just bought to my iphone does anyone have my solution?

    how do i add music to my ipone using the new itunes software?

    The process is the same as with the older versions of iTunes. The only thing that's changed is how you get to the device page for your iPhone; you tap the iPhone button in the upper-right on the header bar now. Or you can go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and things will be substantially the same as they were in earlier versions.
    Regards.

  • I downloaded the new itunes update and now no videos will play. I get a white screen and no sound. also a bunch of songs i have purchased no longer play.

    i have a bunch of files that can't be located and some songs that i purchase that when you click on them they skip to the next song. also all my videos, movies and tv shows i purchased come up with a white screen and no sound they show they are playing 

    "Add Folder to Library" is still where it always was, in the File menu.
    The new "innovation" is that the File menu is hidden by default!  But you can reveal it by using CTRL+B.

  • I downloaded the new iTunes version and most of my songs are missing?

    I just updtated my iTunes, but now only six albums appear in my library.

  • I updated ITunes for the first time.  Now all my music is gone,  How do I get it back.  I teach dance classes and need it now.

    Also some agreement is coming up.  What is that?  I should have left it alone.  I am so frustrated as I need this music to teach classes.

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music

  • I downloaded the new itunes and now it does not work on my computer.  How do I get an older version to reinstall?

    I downloaded the new itunes 11 and not it will not work on my computer.

    Why not?  What happens when trying to use it?
    "Will not work" is useless when asking for help.  Without specifics, no assistance can be provided.

  • I have downloaded the new itunes but when I go to open it, it says "run time error"? it also says an application has made an attempt to upload this file incorrectly?

    I just downloaded the new itunes so I can sync music to my iphone 5 and when I go to open the new itunes, a message pops up that says "Run time Error, an application has made an attempt to upload this file incorrectly"?

  • Just downloaded the new iTunes and now iTunes won't open at all.  MacBook Pro user

    Downloaded the new iTunes a few hours ago, and now after a few restarts, I get no response at all when clicking on itunes. 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  • I have a 3G iphone. I just tried to download the new itunes and lost all my itunes I had.  I tried to transfer them from my computer but can't. How can I and what do I do to get the ones I bought before and now have lost.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases
