    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
    I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

    If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

  • HT4623 I'm trying to update my iPad but it keeps coming up with an error message but no explanation what the error is

    Trying to update to iOS 7.0.2 but not having any success,message keeps appearing telling me there's an error but doesn't tell me what the error is,any information on how to sort this problem would be appreciated

    Can you check that your Wi-Fi connection is working correctly?
    Do you get that error right away at the beginning of the download or much later?
    Have a look whether there is plenty of free space (several gigabytes) on your iPad to receive the new iOS 7 upgrade. Remember that the upgrade is downloaded in a compressed form.
    It's difficult for me to give precise advice without knowing what caused the error.
    If all fails, try to do the upgrade via iTunes with your iPad connected to your computer.

    Hello there KRerssig,
    I was looking through our resources and found an article with information regarding that error message. The article is called iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866.
    Here is the text but the article contains images for a visual reference:
    Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
    If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
    Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website athttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
    Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
    Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
    In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
    In the right pane under Special Folders, choose My Music from the Folder pop-up menu.
    Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
    In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK.
    Reinstall or open iTunes.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, the settings for the current user may be corrupted, which could cause iTunes not to install or open. You may have to install and open iTunes in a different Windows user account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

    Hi Marcel1no,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that it can be frustrating when an application downloaded from the App Store is not behaving as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article for information on troubleshooting apps downloaded from the App Store.

    Hello there, BundyA.
    Error 3 is usually associated to security software settings. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information and links for troubleshooting the issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    This section should prove useful:
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Itunes library.itl is locked, on locked disk or you dont have permission 4.

    itunes library.itl is locked, on locked disk or you dont have permission 4.
    i tried the other suggestions and i cant get rid of this message.
    can anyobdy help?

    I had that problem too. I tried to remove iTunes from my computer and then download it again, but that did not make any difference. Then I tried polydorus' answer ("starting iTunes with the shift key held down, when asked to choose a library, navigate to your iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl"), but that did not work either and that same message about the library being locked appeared again.
    Then I had a brainwave. I deleted that iTunes library.itl file. (To find it, go to My documents, then My Music, then iTunes, and there is the itunes library file). I now tried to open iTunes by clicking on the iTunes icon on my desktop, nothing happened, as if I had not clicked on it at all. I restored the file from the recycling bin to where it was before. But that also returned me to where I had been before, i.e. I got that locked-library message again. So I deleted that file again. Then I tried right-clicking on the iTunes icon. On the little menu that appeared, I clicked 'Open' and hey presto, suddenly the iTunes set-up assistant appeared and everything went smooth from then on. When I checked, there was a file called iTunes library.itl again and this one worked OK.
    By the way, I did not lose any of my music downloads or podcasts when I deleted that file, so it's definitely worth a try.
