Why would you need to do that, when you can just click on your iPhone name in the sidebar and click Check for Updates?

Is it safe to update to latest version using Itunes??

hi guys I just want to know if its safe to update to the latest version using itunes and if it wont damage or delete all apps in my iphone 3g?

Since updating the iOS in iTunes is the only approved way, why do you think it might ruin or jailbreak the phone??
Updating the iOS doesn't normally delete anything from the phone but it's always best to sync and backup the phone in case something goes wrong.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing.

Changing /updating an xml file using JAXP(DOM)

Hello,
i am fairly new to xml and am using it in my degree project.I am able to retrieve and read data from a fairly large xml file using JAXP(DOM) and/or XMLBeans.I am having difficulties in updating the xml document. Any updation i believe is ito be saved into a new xml document,but dont know how to proceed with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Following is a snippet of my code using JAXP. Here i am able to retrieve data from the source file.
File document=new File("C:\\tester.xml");
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory
= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parserr = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc=parserr.parse(document);
System.out.println(document + " is well-formed.");
NodeList n2=doc.getElementsByTagName("Top");
NodeList n3=doc.getElementsByTagName("Base");
int x=n2.getLength();
System.out.println("There are " x "players");
for(int g=0;g<=x;g++)
System.out.println("Top is" + n2.item(g).getFirstChild().getNodeValue()+" Base is" +n3.item(g).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following is my updation code to the dom tree:
NodeList list=doc.getElementsByTagName("Information");
for(int i=0; i<list.getLength();i++){
Node thissampnode=list.item(i);
Node thisNameNode=thissampnode.getFirstChild();
if(thisNameNode==null) continue;
if(thisNameNode.getFirstChild()==null)continue;
// if(thisNameNode.getFirstChild() !(instanceof org.w3c.dom.Text) continue;
String data=thisNameNode.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
if (! data.equals("0.59")) continue;
Node newsampNode = doc.createElement("Samp");
Node newsampTopNode = doc.createElement("Top");
Text tnNode = doc.createTextNode("0.50");
newsampTopNode.appendChild(tnNode);
Element newsampRef = doc.createElement("Ref");
Text tsr = doc.createTextNode("0");
newsampRef.appendChild(tsr);
Element newsampType = doc.createElement("Type");
Text tt = doc.createTextNode("z");
newsampType.appendChild(tt);
Element newsampbase = doc.createElement("Base");
Text sb = doc.createTextNode("0.55");
newsampbase.appendChild(sb);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampTopNode);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampRef);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampType);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampbase);
rootNode.insertBefore(newsampNode, thissampnode);
Here i dont see any changes to the original xml source file.

How do you extract an .MP3 from an .MP4 file using iTunes?

I have figured out how to import a home video into iTunes (video taken with my iPhone 5S), and have figured out how to use iTunes to convert the video (recorded in Quicktime) to .MP4 format ... but I cannot then use iTunes to "Create a New Version" and have it allow me to select .MP3 as a choice. It's on the list, but it's greyed-out. Apparently, on a MAC, if you hold down the "Option" key, it will then allow you to select the .MP3 format, but pressing "ALT " (generally the PC equivalent) only closes the drop-down menu on me. So ... what do I do here?
I really don't want to have to download a different program to do this, especially since it seems that iTunes can ... I just need to know how.

THANK YOU.
I tried all manner of other keys ... but didn't think to try Shift. Or if I did, I didn't hold it down BEFORE clicking on File.
(For anyone else reading this ... it's important that you hold down the Shift key before clicking on File because iTunes won't allow you to choose .MP3 as an option if you try to hold down the Shift key after the File menu is already open.)

How to transfer my iPad 4 iOS 7 music files using iTunes and GoodReader (latest version) app to my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)

The GoodReader user manual procedure allows me to transfer files from macbook to iPad but not the other way. I can see my iPad music files via iTunes on the MBP screen. However, I cannot select the music files for transfer to GoodReader, My Documents folder. Once they are in the Goodreader folder, then it is easy to transfer them to MBP.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
RMY

Thanks for your response, Demo.
I'm using the latest version of iTunes, also my MBPS is 10.6.8. My music files on my ipad are MPEG type and they should be compatible with iTunes and GoodReader. These files were already in my iPad before I installed GoodReader.
I want to move the files from my ipad to my MBPS. I previously thought that I am supposed to move these files myself to GoodReader documents folder by following some steps. But after reading the instructions for file transfer, I realized that the GR documents folder should show ALL the files on my iPad. While it shows a couple of documents that I downloaded after the GR was installed, it does NOT show the music files that were on iPad before. This is the problem.
I'm wondering if there is another way of getting these files to theMBP. These files should have a physical location on the iPad. Is it possible to access that location and move them from there? I tried to drag and drop these files from iTunes to a thumb drive in Finder but it did not work.

Suddenly unable to upload mp3 files using iTunes Match

I've got a USB turntable and have enjoyed digitizing a lot of LPs and copying them into iTunes. I digitized a 10-track album just yesterday, and can copy the resulting mp3 files into iTunes, where they play fine, but they won't upload to iCloud using iTunes Match. It gets to the point where it's supposed to upload tracks it cannot match and just sits there. I use Audacity to digitize from the USB turntable, and it exports as MP3 file. This has worked over many albums but now seems to be stuck. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

So my issue appears to be with uploading mp3 files that probably won't match anything in iCloud.
iTunes match matches Audio files by comparing the audio and not by comparing the tags for the album. My iTunes Library contains more than 500 songs that have been ripped and matched from vinyl records or audio tapes.
The songs will not match, if there is not the exact same recording in the store, but if the audo quality is good and the tempo of the player was exact, the song will be matched.

How to see images in m4a file using itunes

So I used garageband to make an enhanced podcast. It has audio and images. That went fine, and I saved it as an m4a file (from the share menu, I chose "Export podcast to disk").
When I open it in itunes, I hear the audio, and can choose the chapters, but I cannot see the pictures (except in the chapter menu). I am using iTunes 10.3.1. How can I get itunes to show the pictures? The pictures show up fine if I view the podcast using Quicktime.
I don't want to put the podcast up on the itunes store or anything like that. Ultimately, I'd like to embed the podcast into a website for my course. I am a college professor.
Thank you!

You can't, iTunes is only used to set the location the photo's are loaded from, they aren't held anywhere in iTunes itself. Since they have to be on the computer anyway to load them onto the iPod you view them from the folder or album they are in or directly from the iPod screen.

Uploading a Keynote file using iTunes 11.1.12

I'm using iTunes 11.1.12 for a PC and I need to upload a keynote file. In iTunes I don't see a place to upload or file share. This feature existed in the last version. Can anyone help?

typically to call an Escmd from a bat file you would use the syntax
Esscmd filename
where file name is the path and file name that contains the Esscmd commands.
Two warnings depending on the version you are on
1. You may need to include the full path to Esscmd or change directories to where it lives (like you did)
2. In some versions, the environment variables are not set so insted of calling Esscmd directly, in the bin directory on the server(and client), there is a startEsscmd.cmd that you would run instead. The syntax would be similar startEsscmd filename
An example:
Esscmd "c:\scripts\Essbase\myapp\MyEsscmd.ess"

Can i update to iOS 7 using iTunes 10.7? I refuse to use iTunes 11 (no iTunes DJ - no interest)?

I refuse to update my iTunes to 11. The removal of iTunes DJ (with multiple user voting and high rated songs played more often) has ruined the user experience so much so that I almost would prefer using a different music program. After painfully downgrading back to 10.7, and losing hundreds of albums in the process, I am so happy to have iTunes DJ back. That said, I'm looking to update to iOS 7 on my Verizon iPhone 4. Has anyone successfully done this? I will stick with iOS 6 forever if I have to, because losing iTunes DJ for literally the worst music program I have ever used, iTunes 11, is just not worth it for me. Sadly, I will also never buy a newer iPhone if I cannot sync it with iTunes 10. Smart genuis playlist are not iTunes DJ, and Up Next is atrocious. Any suggestions? Apple has been really bumming me out lately!

Have you attempted an over-the-air update?
Settings > General > Software Update
Make sure your iPhone is in wi-fi and connected to a power source.
If not, try installing iTunes 11 on a different computer or user profile.

Editing Music Files Using iTunes

If I am Editing Information to a song(s) file in iTunes, does that information I'm adding change the song(s) root file to my preference?
So when I copy my music to my External HDD then clean my computer, I will move it back to iTunes. Will my information still be with the root song(s) file to add to iTunes?
- No I will not use TimeMechine
- Yes my Preference to Organize my music files is ON

When you edit a song file *with iTunes,* the information gets written to the file itself as soon as you click "OK." There are a few exceptions: (1) Info for WAV files is not written to the file. (2) If you don't have write permission, the changes will not take (3) Certain information, such as Rating, is stored in the library, not in the file. (4) If you have multiple copies of the song file, iTunes only changes the copy that the library is referencing.
When you edit a song file *with a 3rd party editor,* iTunes will pick up the changes the next time it uses the file, e.g. to play it.
If you are making a backup of your iTunes library, copying the song files is not sufficient. You need to back up the entire iTunes folder so that you have all your library information.

Streaming m3u files using iTunes and not QuickTime plug-in

Hi,
I am listening to mp3 files using a webserver and streaming m3u files. When I click on the url I get the QuickTime plug-in. I don’t like the QuickTime plug-in very much so I would like to have iTunes starting instead of QuickTime.
I have chosen to use iTunes for m3u files but it do not work. If I save the m3u file to my disc and double click iTunes is starting as I want but not when clicking on the link in Safari.
Is there any solution to get iTunes starting when clicking on a link instead of QuickTime plug-in?
The link looks like this: http://www.samplelink.info/custom.m3u?ltype=SEARCHRESULTS
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I'm generally ignorant in the way of those computer thingies, but seeing as no one else has responded, I'll venture my poorly informed opinion.
It seems to me that what you're asking for can't be done (as yet). What you would need is an "iTunes plug-in" effectively, which I don't think exists.
The only way you could set iTunes as the default for playing m3u is to leave the web/browser context (i.e. by downloading the m3u file) and then opening it with iTunes, which you already know how to do.
