I need help upgrading iTunes... nothing is working right

I bought some songs on the store this weekend. Some of them downloaded but then I got error messages on the rest saying I needed to install the upgrade before they would download. So I tried upgrading several different ways (each of which took forever) but all of them would finish downloading and then not install. Can anyone help me?

I am also having problems with the new Itunes upgrade, i have lost the icon and the only way to access Itunes is by plugging my Ipod in. If I click on the old icon from before the upgrade it says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." So i installed it again and still cant access Itunes. If anyone can tell me what is going on, that would be splendid.

Need help please swf html not working right

Hello everyone,
I created a game in keynote for my HS kids with links to the right slide according to whether or not they are the correct answer.
I exported it to flash. I got two files xxx.swf when I click on this on my desktop it opens in safari with a black background and it plays.
the second file is xxx.html when I click on this on my desktop it opens in safari and plays in a smaller frame with a white background.
So I uploaded my swf to idisk and I copied the content of the HTML in a snippet. I thought it would work. It does not.
I could not care less about the background I just want one or the other to work but I can figure it out.
Thank you in advance for your help
Mireille

Upload the SWF and the HTML file to your website folder in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
Create a link on any web page to the HTML file....
http://web.mac.com/username/WebsiteName/xxx.html
... and select "open in a new window" if you want.
Clicking the link should then open your movie to play in a new window.

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
Thanks

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

HT1711 Need to upgrade iTunes but laptop says it can't because iTunes was improperly installed. If I uninstall, will I loose everything?

I need to upgrade iTunes but my laptop say's it can't because iTunes was improperly installed to begin with. If I uninstall iTunes, will I loose all the work I've put into my downloads and my playlists?

No.
However, you do maintain complete and regular backups of your computer, correct?
For iTunes, the iTunes library is the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder.

Howdy. I've just purchased a new iPhone 4, but my Mac's version of iTunes won't support it. I need to upgrade iTunes to the latest version. But, alas, when I downloaded it, my Mac won't support it. My Mac's details are; 10.4.11 Processor Dual 2 GHz PowerP

Can I download the higher operating system? If so where from? Or must I buy it from the shops?

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

I need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

i need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

Greetings fcit@!A,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to select none as your payment type. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I can't find by CD or did I download it? I want to start over because nothing is working right, picture are doubled.

I can't find my CD or did I download it? Nothing is working right, I want to delete the Elements 13 and start over or use my old version. My pictures in organizer aren't adding new pictures, nothing makes any sense. I put in the files, but all the files have the same pictures and I know I put in different files for different pictures. I don't know what I'm doing but I could use the old Photoshop just fine. !@

Hi,
Uninstalling and re-installing elements will not touch your catalog or your photos so at this stage I do not believe that you need to do it. You would need the serial number - do you have that?
When you are looking at the screen with Media, People, Places and Events in the heading, that is the organizer so you have found the organizer. The People, Places and Events tabs will probably be blank until you take action to update them.
From your other comments, I am assuming that you have converted your old Photoshop Elements 5 catalog to the new format. Note that the thumbnails will have to be regenerated so may appear as hour glasses for a while.
Now, with Albums selected on the left and Media selected in the middle, is there any button at the top saying All Media - if so click on it. That should be showing all of your photos that have been imported into the catalog. Do they all appear?
Here is an example of the Album list
Only ones with the album icon (see 2002 08 18 in example) are actually albums, the others are album categories. Only if you click on names with the icon will the display of images change. The album category can be opened or closed by clicking on the small triangle to the left of the name.
Does that help so far? I can cover Folder view later but want to make sure that your system is acting correctly.

TP2GO Revisit: I need to upgrade iTunes. PLEASE HELP!

TP,
A few week ago, in response to my original post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=156454&tstart=0), you outlined a procedure to follow to upgrade from iTunes 4.7.1 to 6.0.1. I never did the upgrade since Apple allowed purchases from 4.7.1 again. Now, however, I purchased two nanos for my children for Christmas, so I will finally have to upgrade iTunes.
When I went back to my original message, some of the links in your responses are now broken. If it isn’t too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate it if you could outline the best update procedure again and refresh all of the links.
Thanks,
John

John hello,
1. Go straight to iTunes 6.0.1 there is nothing to be gained by going to 4.9 1st
2. Software Update will install the correct version of Quicktime...7.0.3 or download it from here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
3. This link will determine the correct version to update your iPod
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?linkprocess_@@.68b9fb33
4. Yes, it is a good idea to make a complete backup of the iTunes folder...
Do this, follow the instructions here and do it all... when you download iTunes 6.0.1 you can download and install Quicktime at the same time if you like... when all complete update iPod.
take care John any questions come and ask .... TP

Help--upgraded itunes 7.0.1 can't see my music or video

I upgraded to 10.4.8 and 7.01. Every other time i have upgraded, itunes just opened up and all my music was there. Including upgrade to 7.0.
Now when i open itunes it has none of my music. When i try to import and i point it toward the itunes music folder, it doesn't see the music folders inside. I selected "consolidate" to see if that would help, but it did nothing.
If i go into the finder, and click thru to a song and then click on a song, it opens in itunes and then i can see it in itunes. I have a lot of songs so clicking on each one is not practical.
It might be a 10.4.8 problem, bc when i opened entourage and safari, i had also lost all my settings and had to start from scratch. What is weird about this is that the files are there for itunes to see.
Btw, this is only a problem on my imac. macbook pro is working fine after upgrades
thanks

Have you tried playing the downloaded song in iTunes, while connected to the internet? The authorization process for the song would be the same (probably) as you're logging in here, presuming you bought it with the same id.
This presumes that you haven't hit the limit of authorized computers.
Just making sure of the basics.
