I tried to download iTunes 11.1.4 and was told I need administrator privileges to do so. I have never had a problem before. What's going on?
Last week I attempted to update the iTunes on my computer to 11.1.4 but the process errored out. So I uninstalled iTunes and attempted to download the software from the website. The process stopped and told me I need administrator privileges to install the product. I have never had this problem before. What is the problem?

iTunes fails to load. Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?
Dave, same problem here. And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service. It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period. All of the normal "easy" steps don't work. Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again. This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting). Win 7 64bit. It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version. Period.
If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on. Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors. It has to learn to play nice with others.
After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post.
Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right. Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours. It is a matter of choice, of course. -
I've downloaded a movie, but there is no play button. How do I play the movie? Never had this problem before.
I deleted the movie from my itunes library and went to my purchased items, but how do I download from my purchased items. It shows I purchased the movie but thats it.
Thanks for the help! -

Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

I bought a $50 card for my son and then went to buy another one and it was refused and has continued to be for a week telling me a I am exceeding the gift card limit for my account? Insights here?
Interesting.
Didn't know Apple accepted PayPal as a payment option in some Stores. Cause they sure don't over here. -
iPad 2 problem. After updating to IOS 8.0.2 iPad says that I need to plug into iTunes. When I do that, the only option is to restore iPad to factory settings? iPad will do nothing until then. I have never had this problem before. Help
Hi ..
Follow Apple's instructions for recovery mode here > iOS: Unable to update or restore
You can restore from a backup. -
I have downloaded and deleted an album 3 times now because on the playback, every 30-60 secs. it jumps to another song on the album. I have never had this problem before. Thanks !
Try deleting and redownloading again, this time with simultaneous downloads disabled.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. -
I bought an itunes gift card yesterday and I have tried to redeem, but when I do I get a message the card has not been authorized. I have typed in typed in the code as seen mostly upper case and I have tried lower case also. Neither is working. I've never had this problem before. Should the store where I purchased it from done something to supposedly "activate" it. I'm at a loss. I do not have the store reciept a friend does, and I'm sure she desposed of it.
Yes, the retailer is supposed to activate the card. Otherwise they'd lose hundreds to shoplifting. What you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or this was a gift so you cannot contact the retailer, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

The message "the file name is invalid or too long" pops up when I try to download a cd onto iTunes. I never had this problem before but lately it has been happening. What can I do to fix this?
iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. -
I have been trying to update my iPad2 for the past 3 hours. It just sets there doing very little and says its going to take 9 hours. What am I doing wrong? I've never had this problem before. Also can I update from any other computer? Just in case it is my lap top.
Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update . -
Hi there,
I have had my Macbook for 18 months and have never experienced this problem with strange windows suddenly opening in Safari. I know this happens on windows 8 computers a lot, and it has never happened on my Macbook before.
Please can someone tell me how to get rid of these. I have reset my Safari and rebooted my computer, and don't know what else to do. This is very frustrating, as I cannot just do what I need to do.
Thank you

I am trying to save for web, a png with a transparent background, and even though I clicked the transparency check box, it is still producing an image with a white background, when exporting the png the transparency works fine, so I know it has nothing to do with the layers. Help!
b,
I believe it is time for the list. Hopefully, it is one of the easy ones at the top; 5) is probably irrelevant for this case.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

I am trying to open a PDF in and I am getting a security warning that says block , close , or allow and then it still will not open then it says it needs a signature it is a public document any help is appreciated thank you in advance sorry this is my first time on here
I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure it want a "signature" and not "password"? If it asks you for password then the document is encrypted and you need to know the password toopen it. The fact that it is a "public" PDF, whatever you mean by "public" does not mean anything. If it is not that then:
Which product are you using, which version (including minor), which platform (Win/Mac), which OS/version? Please, include screenshots of the alerts, warnings that you get. -

a friend tries to download Itunes to windows 8 and keeps saying incompatible?
If it is Windows 8 RT/Surface then that is correct, iTunes cannot be run on such devices.
