ITunes 10.3 thinks it's a version below? No ping, locked out from iphone sync

Hi, my iTunes thinks it's a version below for some reason
I have 10.3 installed (Finder says so, iTunes > About says so) but when I try go into ping it gives me the "See what you're missing, upgrade to 10.3" message - I hadn't worried about this too much before but I just updated my iPhone to the OS 5 beta and now iTunes is not letting me sync at all leaving me with a fairly useless and unsyncable iPhone and crippled iTunes.
I have tried re-installing iTunes (Yes I even deleted all the preference files) I have tried iTunes on another account on my macbook and it gives the same error.
I actually do not know a single person that is able to access ping without getting some update error even though everyone is using the latest iTunes.
Please help, I need to sync my iPhone!
Here is a screenshot of the Ping message: http://cl.ly/470n472Q2C442b2k0w3Z

There is no easy way to get around the passcode lock feature. If this were easy to bypass, there wouldn't be much reason to have the feature in the first place.
You can power your iPhone off and on and/or reboot/restart the iPhone by doing an iPhone reset, but this won't get rid of the passcode lock or affect any data or settings. The only way to get rid of a passcode lock that you don't remember is by restoring the iPhone with iTunes.

I got locked out from my iPad mini during setup, keep ask me for passcode but I didn't set one up. Reboot unsuccessful, iTune won't let me connect because I didn't enter my passcode. How to fix this?

I got locked out from my iPad mini during my initial setup. Keep ask me for passcode but I haven't setup one. Reboot and restart didn't solve the problem, tried connect to iTunes but it won't let me because it requires the passcode. Tried my Exchanged password, Apple ID password and my iPhone passcode but none work. Any idea to resolve this?

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist? IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists. In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs. In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate

When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist? IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists. In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs. In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.

What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order.

I want to store my music files on a NAS (which has an iTunes server built in), but I'm not sure how this will affect my iPhone sync. Will I need a local copy of my music on a computer in order to continue to sync?

Hi,
I have an iPhone and I sync playlists to it from iTunes. (I have far in excess of 16GB of music/podcasts.)
What I want to do is permanently share my music library with all devices in the house, so I'm planning on buying a NAS server that has a built-in iTunes server. (I don't want to just use my computer to share and leave it on 24/7 because that is a phenominal waste of power.) That way all networked computers can just load the library under the 'SHARED' option in the left pane. However, this had me wondering about how I will continue to sync my music to my iPhone? I wondered if I will need to maintain a duplicate of the library on one of my computers, and then have my iPhone sync with that. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'll work.
Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Tom.

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

Locked Out - Unable to Sync to my OSX Version 10.4.11

Due to a high security email account I recently was forced to used a passcode on my phone...which had to be changed weekly. At 6 a.m. yesterday I was forced to change it yet again - needless to say I forgot my code, tried various possible codes, went to the AT&T Store and am now at the "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" screen. I've never been able to sync to my computer because it's outdated - OSX 10.4.11. Even if I could, I still don't know my passcode (exhausted all possibles) and now I don't know how to "start over"without the sync capability...much as this isn't what I want to do anyway due to losses.
Suggestions? Can I reboot without the sync? Back to the AT&T Store. No Apple Store in Rochester.

ITunes 12, 10.8.5: COMPLETE offline iPhone Sync possible?

Hi guys, has anyone iTunes 12 running on 10.8.5 not using iCloud? Is the complete iPhone Sync (including safari bookmarks) still offline possible? Any other problems? Thanks for your answers! Kind regards Tom

I'm facing the same issue. The option to sync notes and bookmarks with your computer is completely missing in iTunes 12. Apple really needs to re-add that feature.
iCloud merges bookmarks across all devices which I hate. For security reason, I also don't upload private information on the cloud.
I'm going to really think twice before anymore iTunes or Apple OS upgrades going forward possibly researching other computer and device options. I'm really sick of companies pushing their own agenda on paying customers.

Dont know answers to outdated secuirty questions locked out of itunes

How can I reset security questions for my sons phone it was done years ago by my neice and she has no idea answers to her questions. We are locked out from buying things. Apple support cant call for days help.....

Unless you previously set up a rescue email address, you need to wait. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer purchases or iTunes Store credit between them.

you might need to buy a new cable from the apple store.

HT1848 Where is the Transfer Purchases button on the current version of iTunes? I think the current version is 11.0.1.

Oh jeez. I finally found that "Show Menu Bar" button that was hiding File. I've been looking for it for a week hah. Thanks.

Got the latest Itunes (11, I think) and now it says that 'Itunes.itl isn't working because it's a newer version of Itunes' and when I go to my older Itunes, the F7, F8 and F9 buttons won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Okay, so I got the latest update and apparently it doesn't work. I had an icon on my desktop that wouldn't open because the 'newer Itunes' is apparently corrupt or something. Going into my applications, I found another Itunes icon and it opens up, but not the F7, F8 and F9 keys aren't working with it. I've already tried installing the latest version and that hasn't helped. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't back up iTunes library to disc. In previous versions it was in file library backup to disc. In iTunes 10.5 that is gone!

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't back up iTunes library to disc. In previous versions it was in file>library>backup to disc. In iTunes 10.5 that is gone!

Some of us have our enture itunes library backed up on CD/DVD - what a waste of time and effort as now presumably you can't use these discs to restore itunes on a new computer! WHY NOT APPLE?
Very unimpressed with itunes 10.5/ios5 - wifi tracking apps have been removed from the store (and won't function in ios5), it's impossible to sync photos (I have spent a whole day trying to sync my iphone 3GS with itines 10.5) to no avail and now, no CD backup facility.
I have never had problems with apple before - I was thinking of upgrading my whole system from PC to Mac but now I am doubtful - if this is typical of apple software, I will stay with windows!

Itunes will not update to a newer version.

Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
