I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

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.

Just did the iTunes upgrade and it wiped the phone and put all my bf info since it was his computer?. Any ideas

Just did the iTunes upgrade and it changed all my info to my boyfriends since I had to use his computer ? Any ideas

If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

Hi, I tried to change my security questions on the internet. But, for some reason, the button to change them is not there! This is annoying as I have recently bought an iTunes voucher and now I cannot buy any new apps. Can anybody please help me!!

Uploaded new itunes upgrade and now some music can not be located. a screen appears and says you need to locate the songs in other folders. Any ideas? New upgrade sinks

Hello
just did the the new upgrade and now half of my songs are not playing. A screen appears and says you need to search for your music in folders. What the heck happen with this ? Anybody have any issues too?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I did new itunes update and now it will not sync my phone

I updated my itunes yesterday and now it will not sync our iphone any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

Did the requested upgrade and now iTunes won't open for anything

I upgraded to the newest version and now iTunes wont open, no error message, nothing. It looks as if it's going to launch when I click on it but nothing happens. This Happened last time I upgraded but it worked itself out after a few mins but this has been all day... nothing is working.
I tried to plug my iPod in and not even that will launch iTunes.
In a similar topic it was asked if QuickTime would launch, my QuickTime will open but it has been loading for 2hrs now.... WHATS GOING ON?!!???
Dell dimension desktop Windows XP

Me too... The other post relating to this was with a PC but the same is happening for macs too by the look of it. Has anyone got an idea of how to sort this out? I don't suppose it's possible to find an earlier version of iTunes to download? I'm going to have a search now cos I need iTunes to be working!

ITunes upgraded and now crashes computer

I upgraded to the new 7.0 iTunes and for about 10 minutes it worked fine. I then changed my library view to the screen the shows the "jukebox-like" images of the album cover. Just a couple of minutes in that view froze my entire computer and now iTunes will not work at all! I've tried uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it and I've gotten nowhere! I don't get any error messages either. iTunes will open but it will show up with a completely black screen and the only thing showing is the part at the bottom right hand corner where the album artwork should be. I've been trying to figure this out, but I can't! Does anyone have any suggestions?

even though you're not getting an error message, let's try working through the suggestions from the following document:

I recently updated the itunes software and now my iphone wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

I recently got my iphone unlocked because i wanted to change my carrier. today when i connected my iphone to the itunes it started updating the software! all my previous data was erased and now it wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

Recently accepted an itunes update and now the program will not launch or open on my computer

I recently accepted an itunes update on my computer - now the application will not launch or open on my computer. any ideas or help?

A few details would help here. What kind of computer? What operating system is it running? What version of iTunes was running previously? Was there an error during installation? What actually happens when you try to launch iTunes now?
Let us know we will keep working with you.
Best of luck.

Just did a software update, and all that my Macbook Pro does is just beep. Does anyone have any solutions?

It was a list of about five updates, but the one that stands out is the Lion OS X complete update - I think.

I went over to iTunes Match and have lost about two thirds of my music collection. Can anyone help me get it back?

I recently decided to pay for iTunes Match to save memory space on my two iphones, where I have an extensive music collection, which was synced with an iPad and several MacBooks and a desktop. However I am really horrified that in so doing I seem to have lost two thirds of my music which has just disappeared, as well as my playlists.
I think I've lost at least 700 tracks. I don't even know what I had. How can I get it back?
Please help.

Where these tracks also stored in iTunes before you turned on iTunes Match? If not you're going to need to re-download them from your purchase history in the iTunes Store since iTunes Match only matches music in the iTunes library.

I lost my internet connection during an itunes upgrade and now my phone is stuck

during an itlunes upgrade session, my phone stuck without upgrading what can i do to release the session and start over

You didn't say what kind of computer or operating system you have, which makes it harder to make suggestions, but I'll try anyway.
If it is a Windows computer open a command window in Administrator mode (I can't tell you how to do this without knowing the OS) and type:
netsh winsock reset
Then reboot the computer and connect the iPhone. If it still doesn't activate find the hosts file on your computer, and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Again, the procedure for doing this varies with computer type and operating system.
