I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 and now I get an error messages saying "The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 for windows 7 and now when I try to open itunes with the shortcut on my desktop I get this error message: "The item 'itunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly." I can't open itunes at all. Is there anything I can do or is there a problem with the new update?

Start > Programs = Firefox
Does that shortcut work?
If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads Problem with shortcut. The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes. I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either. I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am going to loose all these now? Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
Thanks

I would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...

Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

Getting the error message:
the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?

Thank you

I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

I downloaded iTunes 10.6.3.25 and set it up, when I click on the icon I get this message: The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?

I have tried the solutions that I have seen already. Restarting the computer and then repairing through the Control Panel. It didn't work. I have removed the software and done multiple restarts and reinstalls. I'm running on Vista 64 bit and the last iTunes from last spring ran fine. Any other ideas? Or somewhere I can go to get an older version of software? Btw, when I tried to start Quicktime, I got the same message.

I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed.Help

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM first, if that doesn't help try a cleaning disc.....and then buy an inexpensive external burner. Slimline super drive failures are all too common.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I was using iTunes on a PC forever and never had a problem. I recently bought a macbook and now I get an error message saying that it cannot connect to iTunes store. Secure network was rejected. Any ideas?

I keep getting a message that says "we cannot complete your iTunes store request. Secure network connection was rejected. There is a problem in iTunes. Please try again later." I never got this message on our PC, but recently bought a MacBook Pro and now I get this message. I'm the only one using the computer. I also get a similar message intermittently on my iPhone as well. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I tried syncing my phone with iTunes to see if that would do the trick, but the music didn't even transfer over to the macbook. Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

TS3218 I just updated my itunes and now I get an error message saying no ipod is recognized when I plug in the ipod. Worked fine until I updated!

Just updated itunes and now it won't recognize by ipods. UGH! I've tried the trooubleshooting but so far nothing has worked. I haven't yet uninstalled.

so i restored my phone and updated to ios 6, but now my itunes isnt recognizing my phone, and all of my contacts/pictures/messages etc are gone. please help. i'm having so many problems with this update, and i've never had a problem with an apple product yet.

Is your iPhone turned on or off? Are you still able to use it? If yes, sync everything to your iCloud so everything is saved. The following steps/suggestion will delete all your data so it is important to sync everything to your iCloud or iTunes:
Again, WARNING: This will restore the iPhone to factory setting.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, turn your iPhone off (hold down power button), hold down power button (on top) while holding the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, release ONLY the power button (on top) while continuing to hold down the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) until a message appears in iTunes.
Then you can try updating yout iPhone again..
I hope this helps! Good luck.

Did you uninstall the Firefox 4.0 beta version ?
If you did then did you remove the personal data or otherwise removed to Firefox profile folder ?
Make sure that you still have a (default) Firefox profile folder.<br />

Start > Programs = Firefox
Does that shortcut work?
If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

TS3694 When trying to update or restore my Iphone I get an error message saying...could not be restored because firmware file is not compatible. What is this and how can it be resolved?

When trying to restore or update my Iphone 4 it errors out with message:..."could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible." How do I resolve this?

Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.
