ITunes 10.5 will not quit NO MATTER WHAT
Hey Mac Community - I'm having trouble quitting iTunes.
I've done the regular Apple Q quit, File>Quit, Force Quit, Quitting through the Activity Monitor. I've also checked for updates, stopped home sharing, turned off my in - iTunes genius preferences, have shutdown, restart, restart the finder, etc.
If you can think of any suggestions that would help. I'm running a MacBook Pro 17'' from 2007.
Thanks
Try a blast from an airduster into the socket
and
from a post by @davshirley
In my case it was an easy fix. Take a wooden toothpick and reach up inside the connector on the iphone5 and remove the pocket lint that collects in the socket. Once it is cleaned out, everything works good as new.

ITunes and Quicktime WILL NOT install no matter what!
After downloading QuickTime with iTunes, I keep getting this error:
"An exception occurred while trying to run m"C\Widows\system32\shell32.dll,Cotrol_RunDLL "C\
Windows\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime
iTunes won't install, QuickTime won't install, Customer support doesn't know what to tell me---
Has anyone else had this problem-- and better yes, does anyone know how to fix this? My laptop is about 6 months old, running Windows XP Media Edition. (Big sigh)Deal Emalve,
Try change the path from C: to any other directory and then install..
Hope that works out. -

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.
Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.

just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if I have a setting wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works. -
My ipod touch will not hare no matter what and I've tried many different cables and different ways to charge it. What should I do? If I complain to the Apple store co. will they replace my ipod for free?
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on. I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen. How do I remedy this nightmare?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try updating the software again.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

I have a 120gb Classic that has been working, connecting and syncing flawlessly for years. Now it appears that (maybe since an itunes update) my same Windows 7 x64 computer that has not changed other than the occasional iTunes update will not detect my iPod, and therefore will not sync any more.
The odd thing is that iTunes will sometimes see the iPod (not always), and Windows will also sometime see the iPod. Even when it does, and I click to sync a podcast (or anything else) it appears to go through the #1 and #2 steps and says it is syncing - Do not unplug, then appears to finish, but when you check the ipod after ejecting, nothing has changed. It looks like this has been happening for about a week, but my wife must not have realized that songs and other items were not actually syncing.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes, downloading the 11.2... version available online now, no help. I have tried resetting the ipod, no help. I have tried changing cables, no help. every time I go through the diagnostics in iTunes, it fails the connectivity test and says "No iPod, IPhone, or iPad found.
I am so frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of but even though iTunes shows the iPod, it wont sync....This issue has been resolved - my Support Advisor, Edgar, was able to discern what was causing the problem.
It appears that, despite years of never experiencing this, one of the latest ipod updates actually altered my device's personal settings and changed it to "Manual" for all synchronizing; even performcing Factory Restores did not change it back to being automatic.
My ipod is working as good as ever now thanks to Edgar. If anyone else is having this problem, please make sure you check your device's settings in iTunes and see if "Manual" is checked - even if you never changed the settings yourself and have no reason to suspect that to be the problem, as was the case here. If it is checked - uncheck it to enable automatic syncing.
So relieved this was not a much more serious problem. I've missed having my music on the go. Thanks, Edgar! -
ITunes will not install no matter what I do!
When I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop computer, it says "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\pl.lproj\ViewLineItemLP.png. Verify that you have access to that directory." and will not install. I once had iTunes on this computer; but when I got my iPhone I needed to update and from then on it's been a nightmare! It would not update, and then I uninstalled it hoping to reinstall it. Well, it never reinstalled. I've tried clearing the Temp folder, uninstalling everything iTunes, and running as Admin. What else can I do?
Deal Emalve,
Try change the path from C: to any other directory and then install..
Hope that works out. -
I received a notice for software update. It froze in process. I forced quited the iPad. It will not start. I see the apple and then it goes away. Latest thing is a round iTunes with a plug symbol below it. It's plugged it and nothing.
When I do that it says it will wipe my iPad clean and start over leaving me with nothing.

"Explicit" tag will not work no matter what I do
I have done everything exactly as I was told in every tutorial that I have looked up, including the official iTunes tutorial, and yet, no matter what I do, iTunes refuses to recognize my podcast as "explicit" and instead thinks it "is clean." I do not want my podcast to be taken down for being explicit, and I do not want the unlikely scenario of a child accidentally stumbling upon it and hearing big people words, but nothing I do will put the "Explicit" tag on our page. Below is a link to my RSS feed. Please help! If there is something I am doing wrong, or something I should change, please let me know.
http://www.secretroommultimedia.com/fairpoint/fair.xmlThanks so much. I sincerely appreciate all the help you've given me. I have one more question if it is not too much trouble for you. When you view the list of podcasts on our iTunes page, underneath "Description" there is nothing, just "--". When you click there (on the "--") you can see the full description, exactly how I want it. I do not understand why the first few words of the description do not appear in place of "--" as they do on any other podcast I have seen. I'm sure there is a simple solution just as there has been with my other issues.
To be clear, I am talking about the description for each episode, not the podcast in general. -
Ipod Nano Will NOT UNLOCK No Matter What I Do
My mom's green Ipod nano is going crazy it locked itself and no matter what I do it will not unlock. I restored it, I let the battery rundown, I pushed the menu and center buttons and nothing I can't even get it to restart that way. Please help!! thanks.
Hello kcbarker50,
Voiceover can be disabled by quickly pressing the home button three times. Alternatively, accessibility options (such as Voiceover) can be configured via iTunes.

My iPad 2 will NOT charge, no matter what!
It started about a month after the update and it is getting really annoying. Whenever it is connected (yes, it is with a genuine Apple iPad charger) the lightning bolt will not show up. However, when the ipad is turned off, if the charger is connected it will power on the iPad but just won't charge it. It would also connect to the computer so I could get a very slow charge. So I contacted Apple a few weeks ago and set up my appointment. I drove and hour and a half to my nearest apple store. When I got there they told me that there was NO problem with my battery, only my charger. I had tried using 3 different Apple chargers that were in the house. But it appeared that this was the problem because when the woman plugged in the new charger everything worked fine. I then purchased a new charger and went home. My iPad worked great for about 2 weeks and then I had the same problem again, except this time I have absolutely no way of charging it because it won't even connect to the computer. And also, I have no warranty.. I am so lost! Any suggestions on what I should do is greatly appreciated.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

After a year of owning my iPod touch 4g it suddenly stopped charging on my computer and outlet addapter. It still shows the two pronged plug icon that recognizes the iPod is connected to something but even as the battery level goes below twenty percent it will not charge. Still functions well and even connects to iTunes.
If it is still under warrenty which you can find out from here or if you know it's under one year old bring it to the Apple Store.
