Is it itunes or osX problem?
hi I tried to post this on the tiger forum site,but I couldn't get the answer that I want to hear,so here I'm hoping u could help me in this : when I try to copy from itunes let's say 500 or 1000 songs to a folder on an external drive (or even on the desktop),itunes would not copy the song files;only if I reduce the number of selected songs,it would.Now I ask this in this forum because the widows itunes would do this with no trouble!so? note that I do not get any error message but simply the spinning cursor,and then everything goes normal with nothing copied at all.i tried using drag an drop,copy paste,but nothing helps.So is that a limitation on itunes by osx? note also that I tried this on different macs(Imac G5 isight-PB 12 1.5Ghz,both with 512 MB RAM.I just want to know why can I do this windows' itunes and not on mac,so is this limited by osX.You know everytime I have to cut the selection to 5,or six times!!
no no wait a second I am trying this not on my imac G3 but on Imac G5(isight)with 512 MB Ram and I already tried it on PB 12 1.5 GHz,and I'm sure the same on all macs,so the thing that really tease me is that I always have to divide my selection into 4 or 5 times and I repeat that I have tried this on windows machines with much lower specs and it did not complain at all..so I am not sure if it is an itunes problem or osx limit on itunes!

Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5
Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?
Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated. -
Problems running iTunes in OSX 10.4.6
i recently downloaded OSX 10.4.6 on my computer, and i tried opening up iTunes for the first time after downloading OSX 10.4.6. a message comes up saying 'iTunes requires OSX 10.4.9 or later' - how can i get iTunes to work w/ 10.4.6?
Get iTunes 7.7 or upgrade to 10.4.11. There is no charge to do that.

What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?
Hello all,
It's been a while since I posted here, but so nice to see familiar names like Strider, Ron, Duane, MrTotes etc (incidentally Strider, your web pages on how the get the best out of OS9 were excellent for me back in 2001/2).
My problem now is, I'm running OSX.3.9 and I've had an iTunes gift card for the last two years which is about to expire. I was hoping I'd have upgraded my computer by now but money is (always) an issue.
I'm using iTunes 4 with a 2nd gen iPod (first one with the scrolly wheel I think). I wanted to use the card and download a bunch of songs, but I think I need a newer version that can support the purchasing of tracks. This one seems to have had the functionality fall by the wayside.
If it's not possible to buy songs anymore in OSX.3.9 can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
1) The gift card has not been registered yet.
2) I would probably need to make sure the tracks are DRM free before purchasing.
On a side note, I picked up two minty fresh G3 iMacs last year for £20. One was a Sage G3 450, the other a Snow G3 600. I was so happyWhat version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?
Click here for it.
can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
Yes. Right-click the songs in iTunes and move them over as you would any file.

I bought a song in ITUNES and had problem downloading it. I contacted support and they downloaded the song for me. Now when I try to play the song, I get a message saying my computer isn't authorized to play it. I try reauthorizing but that doesn't work, just keep getting the same message. Can anyone help?
Hello
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes "encountered a problem and needs to close" error
hey guys and gals, i really need help. i've been trying to fix my iTunes software for months now. Without further ado, here's what happened:
installed itunes
deleted quicktime accidently
installed quicktime
installed itunes
itunes still doesn't work
installed and reinstalled multiple times from both the c.d. and itunes.com
Therefore, when i attempt to open my itunes program, the dialoge box stating, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report, dont send."
the details of the error report are:
"information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your digital product id, which could be used to identify your license; and internet protocol(ip) address of your computer.
we do not intentionally collect your files, name, address, email address or any other form of personally identifiable information. however, the error report could contain coustomer- specific information such as data from open files. while this information could potentially be used to determine your idenity, if present, it will not be used. the data that we collected will only be used to fix the problem. if more information is available, we will tell you when you report the problem. this error report will be sent using a secure connection to a database with limited access and will not be used for marketing purposes."
for the love of god, help me. i really wanna get my itunes working.(i have no antivirus software, such as mcaffee or norton, etc)
i really appreciate it
-kevin spankygreat, but when i did this, the agreement popped up and disappeared as soon as it came up, before i could press anything.
yuck. that's consistent with a malware infestation problem that has been causing error-less itunes launch failures since late October. but there's another couple of main possibilities that we have to check on for these "error-less" launch failures. let's try to firm up the diagnosis a bit.
first let's make an observation.
reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there, or disappear after a few seconds?
if itunes.exe persists in Task Manager
do you have Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, first see:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
... but if you don't have NIS 2005 (or symptoms persist), check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
if itunes.exe doesn't appear in Task Manager (or disappears after a few seconds)
then we have to check up on the malware possibilities.
(this is not a cure, it's a final diagnostic.) use MSCONFIG to get iTunes launching again:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
after the selective startups, don't launchother applications prior to opening itunes. (this has been known to re-trigger the launch suppression.)
post back with a list of the Startup items that you needed to disable in order for itunes to launch again. exact spelling and capitalisation please.

i have a ipod touch and i got it for christmas with an iTunes card .the problem is that i downloaded videos and now it said that there is not enough space and i only downloaded 8 and now 5 don't download how do i erase them.can get my money back
Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted. -

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?
I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. -
My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.
The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....Here is what worked for me:

I tried changing my password, and it changed to one that wasnt it, and i dont know it. So i tried it too many times and now its saying it is disabled, connect to itunes. but a problem is that my power button on top is broken. how to i fix it?
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.
Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.
