Is there a virus with the iTunes 11 update?

A friend mentioned to me that there is a virus with the new iTunes update 11.1. Has anyone heard of this?

Absolutely not.
It's conceivable that there could be a site out there somewhere offering a fake iTunes update, but if so, I haven't heard of it. This would be security industry news if it was happening, and if anyone had seen it, and I follow just about every Mac-related security news source there is. So, while conceivable, this is highly unlikely, and has nothing to do with the official update available from Apple anyway.
There have also been a number of reports I've seen where some Windows anti-virus software has been falsely identifying iTunes updates as malware. Perhaps that's what your friend is referring to.

    Hello brownie67,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're currently unable to update your iOS device Over The Air, then please update it using iTunes.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

  • Was there a problem with the last update? Every time I try to watch a video on the net it goes back to the home screen

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there something wrong with the new update that keeps disconnecting my internet from my iPod touch 5g?

    My home wifi has been disconnected from my iPod touch once again. It happened once yesterday morning and again this morning. After reattempting to connect again and again to the internet yesterday, it finally worked. But now I have the same problem.
    I mean, my laptop has no internet connection issues whatsoever. So, I know it's not my internet's fault. And my iPod is practically brand new as well, so I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with it. Therefore, I'm not intending to bring it into the Apple store to have it checked out.
    My last guess is that maybe it's some kind of glitch with the latest update? Are any other iPod touch 5g users who are experiencing the same problem?

    You are not giving us enough information.  A singe move can easiy take more than one GB.  Ehne you click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes on the computer a colored bargraph will show the discribution of storage used on the iPod.  What does that show?  If the "other" category is greater than about 1 GB you can restore yu iPod, sometimes to factory defaults/new iPod is required, to get it to its normal of about 1/2 GB.

  • Is there a problem with the Itunes Windows Installer Programme?

    The reason I ask is because I had a perfectly working Itunes programme on my external hard drive, from which I then deleted all the double ups of songs I had and then could not gain auto. updates of the dsongs I wished to add to itunes.
    It said to reinstall Itunes, which I tried to do and since this time the installation stops when installing the registry components and the following message appears -
    There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A programme required for this to install could not be run. Comntact your support personall or package provider.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you in advance for any help forwarded
    MrG
    P.S. - Not that well versed in computer speak, so laymans terms welcomed.

    This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
    Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
    Select Change>>repair.
    That probably will not work
    Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
    Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

    Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.

  • Is there any problem with the new update 6.1.2 for iphone 5?

    After I updated my iphone 5 to the new update there seems to be some difficulties with the camera. I get pink lines everywhere. It is a matter of seconds before it gets clear and again pink. But the problem started after the update. I asked other people who use iphone 5 and they said they didnt have the same problem. Its kinda weird I think. any suggestions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the red slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove the camera app from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Camera app
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes store?

    i was trying to update an app from itunes store and i cant connect.  is there a problem or an outage?

    Could be since other users have recenlty posted about not being able to connect to the the iTunes/App store.

  • So does anyone have any info on if apple know about all the problems with the iTunes update?

    By problems I mean:
    . The unability to sync music from your laptop/computer to your apple device
    . The slowness
    . Unable to log in
    . Being told that the laptop/computer being used isn't recognised
    . Clicking on music and it flicking through really quick without playing and then not playing after, but still being on apple device.
    + all the other problems i've seen mentioned on this page. It's pretty clear the new updates have glitches that urgently need fixing and a lot of people are encountering some or multiple of these problems.
    I've not seen or heard any announcement whether they know or not or if they're doing something to fix this, because they need to. Urgently.

    Hi JamilMereck,
    first of: you can edit previous posts in a time-frame of some minutes (haven't measured it ...).
    After that they become non-editable.
    I admit I have used microphones some years back with and without PCs (have switched to Macs 2.5 years ago).
    But I always had the mics connected to a mixing desk, which provided Phantom Power.
    Since I gave up my 'Singing Career' (wasn't good enough) I also abandoned the use of microphones.
    To your questions:
    It might be that PCs with specified Microphone-In ports are also providing power to them or the microphones themselves do not need any power.
    And the 'compatible with...' refers to the usage on computers in general.
    The iMic from Griffin works with OSX 10.5 (scroll down on the webpage to 'Product Compatibility' the left icon symbolizes OSX 10.5).
    As said above, I am no longer up-to-date in usage of microphones, but when you want to use a microphone with the standard connector you have to get either a microphone preamp or a mixer.
    If you use the mic only (really only) with your Mac Pro, you might wanna look for USB-connected mics from Samson or Audio Technica for example.
    And don't get upset, I understand you fully and any kind of 'insult' is for the manufacturers and not for me

  • I don't want safari, so quit pushing it at me with the itunes updater

    Itunes does not require safari to run, so stop pushing it at me.

    this was expected so is nothing new here is a article.
    Back in January, the Mozilla folks hinted that they expected Apple to deliver a version of its Safari Web browser for Windows.
    They were dead-on.
    At the opening keynote at Apple’s WorldWide Developers Conference in San Francisco on June 10, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that Apple is porting Safari to Windows XP and Windows Vista. Jobs is touting the Safari 3 beta as being the “fastest browser for Windows.”
    A beta version of Safari 3 for XP and Vista is available for download as of today as a free download from Apple’s Web site.
    Testers of the “Leopard” version of OS X, the full-featured beta version of which Apple is distributing at the WWDC conference to paid developers attending the event only, also includes the integrated version of the Safari 3 beta.
    Apple is looking for ways to grow its browser market share, which Jobs said currently is at about 5 percent. (Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has 78 percent of the market, and Firefox another 15 percent, according to the stats Jobs used during his Keynote.”
    Jobs said that Apple plans to use iTunes as a distribution vehicle for Safari for Windows. He noted that there are a million downloads of iTunes a day, with 500 million of those going to Windows machines.
    “We know how to reach these (Windows) customers,” Jobs said.

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

  • Anybody have issues with the iTunes 7.1 update and Logic?

    Scenerio:
    Working happily in Logic Pro. Software Update appears with available updates to iTunes and Quicktime. I needed a break from editing, so I accpeted the update.
    Immediately relaunched Logic Pro and at the Updating the Tree stage my machine freezes, with the following message appearing in four languages:
    "You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
    Chances are overwhelming that this is directly related to the 2 updates, with the iTunes update being the likely culprit, in my opinion
    I repaired permissions which had no effect.
    What should I try next?

    Hi,
    MacFixit has reports from several readers reporting Kernel panics after updating:
    Kernel panics after updating Some users are reporting kernel panics that appear after installing QuickTime 7.1.5.
    MacFixIt reader Ian Soper writes:
    "I had a kernel panic this morning after I installed the itunes and quicktime updates that apple released last night. Last night after installing the updates I shut my machine down and then this morning I powered it up and got a kernel panic (gray screen with various languages telling me how to power down my computer). I don't think there was anything else that I did to my computer last night that could have affected this."
