ITouch no longer syncs after install iTunes 11.1.3.8/ iStore Authorization problem
I installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 last Monday on my daughter's computer.
While I was at work on Tuesday, my daughter connected her iTouch to the computer. My wife reported that all her music was missing and she was trying to put everything back. Subsequently, all the songs got deleted from my daughter's iPod Touch and now it appears unable to sync with the computer.
The songs are on the computer, but nothing on the iTouch.
When we try to sync, we get the following message on the computer's iTunes: "<daughter's> iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize this computer."
We have tried reauthorizing, authorizing, de-authorizing, reauthorizing... all sorts of authorizing. No success.
Any help would be appreciated. No iPod => my daughter is unhappy (understatement).
Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
next try

ITouch no longer recognized after installing iTunes 8 and Leopard
I recently installed the new version of iTunes, which prompted me to download the new version of Quicktime, which then prompted me to install Leopard, which I did. Now I have the new version of iTunes, but my iTouch is no longer coming up as a recognized device. My connecting cable still works because my iTouch is charging when I connect it to my Powerbook, but the device is not recognized by my computer, and I've run out of options. I have tried restarting my iTouch, and also using a different connecting cable-- nothing works. Any advice?
Thanks a million.Hello,
Just wanted to make sure you've also restarted the computer, in addition to restarting the iPod touch. For the time being, try to connect the iPod with the USB cable that came with it, and make sure it's being connected directly to the computer, and not through any external USB hubs or anything of the sort. Also, if you haven't tried this, try connecting the iPod to a different USB port.
Since installing Leopard, double check your Software Updates to make sure there's nothing else pending that you might need. (Just click on Software Update in your Apple menu).
If that hasn't worked it out, you might try reinstalling Apple Mobile Device Support, which is what allows the iPod touch to communicate with your computer and iTunes.
First, drag iTunes from your Applications folder to the Trash.
Then, delete these files:
(1) AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg located in: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
(2) AppleMobileDevice.kext located in: Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/
Restart your computer
Download and install iTunes again

So long sound after installing iTunes 7.7
Upgraded to iTunes 7.7. Had no issue with the download, installed just fine. Closed down iTunes and re-opened to ensure updates were correct. Had a window pop up stating, "iTunes has detected a problem w/ audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly". This was immediately after the install of 7.7, iTunes was working properly on older version. Checked other media programs (Windows Media Player), nothing will play any audio or video files. Also tried re-booting, no luck. According to my system info, my sound card is not installed. Re-installing the sound card is separate issue, but issues of 7.7 causing this problem before? Any suggestions or tips to downgrade to older iTunes. I have a 2nd Gen. Nano if that makes a difference. (Never had issues before when upgrading versions.)
I ran disk utility from my Leopard DVD, repaired the disk. The sound worked upon restarting.

IPhone no longer recognized after installing iTunes 9.2
Hi there. I have an original iPhone, a Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.11, and everything was working perfectly until I updated iTunes to 9.2. Now when I connect by iPhone to the computer literally nothing happens. The phone does not show up. It does not open iPhoto or iTunes. I have restarted my computer several times, reset the phone several times, and still nothing. I am planning to buy the new iPhone as soon as it is available, but in the meanwhile I am really concerned about not being able to sync to iTunes. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks.
I'm running OSX 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro (a couple of years old) ... and my (original) iPhone is recognized just fine by the new iTunes 9. I too am anxiously awaiting arrival of my iPhone 4 ... and got the same kind of shipment information as other folks described on the iPad; i.e. being shipped direct from China via Hong Kong. I sure hope they've got the bugs worked out of that process since the iPad 3G fiasco. I was also amused (NOT!) by "additional information" in the shipping-email I got from Apple. Basically it says that if there is a delay in activating the phone via iTunes, "trust us" that Apple and AT&T will be working to get it activated as quickly as possible and will send out an email when it is activated --- in other words "don't call us, we'll call you".
David Brooks during his commentary last night on The News Hour made some comments about how business processes are really starting to break down in this country. I couldn't agree more. Last Thursday's mess was inexcusable! You'd think that the huge (and incredibly profitable) corporations like (BP), Apple, and AT&T would spend as much time and effort and money to get their processes in as good a shape as their products! Urrrrrr! Let's hope that the iPhone enrollment process goes better. -
CD drive no longer available after installing iTunes
I have windows XP. Once iTunes has been installed, the
CD-Rom drives cease to be available in the windows explorer.
I'm not desperate to run iTunes, that wonderful software.

i see you've got a Packard Bell. could you check something for me? go into your Device Manager (right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", select "Device Manager"), and check to see if you've got a warning/alert message showing up next to your optical drives referencing "code 41".
if you do see a code 41 in there, this post has information on some other techniques that have been getting people past the Packard Bell code 41 optical drive disappearances:

Vista 64 BSOD on sync after installing itunes 8.0.2.20.
Note that this isn't the problem in the sticky above which apparently went away with iTunes 8.0.1.
I've never had a problem until now (iTunes 8.0.2.20). If I connect my iPod Video 30GB to my PC, the PC crashes.
I remember seeing a message about a USB driver. I can reproduce the crash and write down the message if it would help.
Can you help?
Message was edited by: davidjiMight have been a bad cable. I reinstalled. Got a crash again. Tried a different cable. It worked.

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.
Very many thanks to you, Putaro! Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7
I can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes since upgrading to Itunes 7. When I try it freezes my Itunes and I have to force quit the application. Anyone else know how to solve this? Anyone else having this problem?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)I have the 3rd generation IPod and I thought it happened when I dropped it, but after thinking about it it did happen the same time I switched to itunes v7.
I have to stop the auto-sync and have the ipod completely restored each time. So when I want to update my ipod I have make it an hour adventure. -
Please could you advise? ... After installing Itunes 11.3.1.2 on my Laptop and when reconnecting my iPad2 via USB, it is no longer visible under 'My Computer'. Any advice on resolving this issue would be most welcome. Thanks
Any one or a combo may help
Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
Try a different USB cord
Try a different USB port
Try rebooting your computer
Try closing/opening iTunes.
If you go through that and it doesn't work, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again -

After installing iTunes, Flash no longer exports .MOV format...
Hi -
I have been using Flash 8 to do animated titling for my podcasts.
But after installing iTunes 7, Flash 8 will no longer export .MOV format. It tells me a Quicktime compenent cannot be found.
Also, QuickTime Pro will not actually play Flash .SWF files. Not sure if this worked before, I never tried it. But it seems to be a QuickTime feature that doesn't work on my machine.
Flash 8
iTunes 7.0.0.70
QuickTime Pro 7.1.3
Any suggestiones or explanations?
I really need to export my Flash animations to .MOV format. It's part of my work scheme. Workarounds cause loss of quality.
Thanks,
Dave Ferreira
([email protected])Recent security issues has had QuickTime 7.1.3 Player set Flash (inside .mov files) to "disabled".
Any user can re-enable Flash inside .mov files by checking a box in the QuickTime Control Panel (PC) or System Preferences (Mac).
QuickTime Player uses a much older version of Flash and only allows those "published" as version 5, or lower, be used.
The security issues are real. The solution for those of us that use Flash (.swf) inside our QuickTime content is more complex.
If a solution isn't reached between Apple and Adobe about a more modern use of Flash inside QuickTime files I plan on adding a text description (on my Web pages) for the steps to re-enable Flash functionality in my QuickTime files that use Flash. -
After installing itunes, my desktop computer doesn't recognize my internal cd rom/burner. I removed itunes and it works ok and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I went into the windows registry files and deleted the lower filter which is one correction for this and it worked ok until the next itunes upgrade and now it won't work again. If anyone knows what to do please let me know. My device manager shows a code "10"
My device manager shows a code "10"
That suggests an AFS.sys issue. But we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.) -
Ipod Touch 5 will no longer sync after update 7.1.2
After updating from iOS 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 my Ipod touch 5th gen no longer syncs with my iTunes 11.3.1.1 when connecting it to my computer (windows 8.1) what comes up on my touch's screen is "trust this computer?" I press the "trust" button then a few seconds later I get the disconnected tone from my computer and nothing else happens (it still charges) and just checked it out on my Windows 7 computer (iTunes 11.3.1.2)and it recognized it fine (but the other computer has my playlists) I've tried updating to iTunes 11.3.1.2, updating iPod drivers and uninstalling then re-installing iPod drivers and iTunes is still not connecting to my iPod. Help please.
On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it. -
8.1 can't shut down after installing itunes
I recently reformatted and did a clean install of window's 8.1
I have done all updates, both windows and drivers and the machine is very smooth and stable.
After installing iTunes the computer will no longer shut down, it displays the logging off / shutting down screen but then just reboots.
I have attempted numerous resolutions to no avail, i.e. disabled NIC as bootable device, disabled the hybrid boot feature & flashed and tweaked some BIOS settings.
The computer will not even shut down when I give the command "shutdown /s /t 0"
I only had Windows Office and iTunes installed on the computer and suspecting that iTunes may be the culprit, I uninstalled it and now the computer shuts down without any issue.
I have since read several threads about iTunes and shutdown/restart issues with 64 bit versions of Windows although I have not found anyone else with my exact issue.
Is anyone aware of a resolution for this?
For now I will need to install iTunes so I can sync my phone and then uninstall so I can shut down!Fingers crossed there will be an update for this, I was lucky that my install so was new that there weren't very many things that could have caused it because I don't think it would have ever occurred to me that iTunes was the issue.
I literally tried every other possibility before waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that the problem started right after I installed iTunes.
I have had issues with Apple software in the past where I attempt to disable it from launching automatically when I boot the computer and it will simply create another entry for itself in the startup list.
If I disable that one it makes another, and another and another.... It's like the freaking Apple hydra.
The want me to know how much I need them! lol
