ITunes 5 & 6 Download Problems

For the past couple of days I could not buy/download music with iTunes 5 (no problems in the past). Therefore, I tried downloading iTunes 6 to solve this problem and now I can't even open iTunes at all. I've tried to re-load iTunes 6 three or four times and nothing works. Error states 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'. I have Windows XP. No idea what to do, and from the other posts, it looks like many other people are having the same problem.

hi Janice!
I can't even open iTunes at all. I've tried to re-load iTunes 6 three or four times and nothing works. Error states 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'
(jost checking ... before when you couldn't get 5.0.x to launch, were you getting the same error message? or was itunes just refusing to launch, with no error message? if the latter, are you also running Norton Internet Security 2005?)
hmmmm. we'd better check to see if you've got a broken quicktime. can you launch your Quicktime at all?
if not, download a copy of the standalone QT installer and save it to your hard drive. (we'll run your install from there rather than on-line.) here's a link to a standalone:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
switch off both your antivirus and antispyware prior to the install.
will itunes launch now? if not, what error message is it giving you?
keep us posted.
love, b

ITunes 11 Podcasts downloading problem

I subscribe severall podcasts. There's one of them, I don't know why, at the office downloads very slowly. To get it to download quickly, I am always pausing and resming the download.
In iTunes 11 when I pause when resuming the status bar comes a little bit back (eg. when pause there's 660 kb's downloaded, when resuming it goes to 500 Kb's)!
The other strange thing is that it dowloads more than the size of the podcast file!
When listening This, it is always coming back and forward.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Please try to pause and resume a podcast download an see what happens.
Thanks,
Jorge

Similar problem with iTunes 11.0.1.12 on win7. The crash seems to occur during the "file processing" part of downloading. I've tried removing the download file from the iTunes folder - it doesn't help. Really frustrating problem. It doesn't generate any error message beyond itunes need to stop and searching for a solution (the "solution" to update iTunes is the PROBLEM - not a solution).
I've installed VLC to play the files but it isn't iTunes and it won't sync with my ipod so... Apple people - - can't you do some simple software??? Do you really have to head towards bankruptcy again????
Geesh the Google maps flap was bad enough!

ITunes 8.2 download problem error message

Am running windows vista and logged in under administrator account. Tried to download itunes 8.2 both from a "clean install" (deleted existing itunes files, temp folders, uninstalled all versions of itunes and quicktime) and with my existing itunes software but getting an error message "could not access network location %APPDATA%\.
PS. If there is a problem with itunes 8.2 and not my PC, anyway to get an older version of itunes back on my pc?
HELP...

First thing to check is QT's compatibility mode setting, as explained here

ITunes TV show download problem

I successfully downloaded Battlestar Galactica episode: Torn after installing iTunes 7.0.2. After restart, the episode is nowhere to be found. It isn't listed in my purchases or in the TV Shows section of the library. Of course, the Store's "check purchases" shows I already downloaded it.
It looks like others have had trouble with this episode, but mine downloaded with no trouble. It seems to have disappeared. What should I do? Where can it be?
Thanks,
-Ken

I have this problem right now with about 30 episdoes bought with season passes...no solution yet. But at least try searching - and make sure to select all hard drives (internal and external) where they might be. Files like this dhow up under "Other" in the search hierarchy - as an .mp4 file. Use only part of the name to search to make sure you don't fall prey to a typing error...also, if you have downloaded any other tv shows, search for them to see the path where they are stored...

Itunes version 8 download problem

k, I have a Windows XP and I have downloaded service pack 2 and 3. I have also downloaded the setup for itunes version 8.0 (or whatever the newest version is) from the apple website. I currently have itunes 7.4.3 and I have just recently purchased an ipod nano (Apple's newest version of it). I need to download itunes version 8.0 so I will be able to use my nano (which is not compatible with my current version). However every time I try and download the version, I get a message that says, " There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." (I downloaded the service packages from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/) My question is do I need another service package or what program do I need to complete the installation of itunes 8.0?
Also, if anyone could respond before January 10th that would be awesome XD (since that is the last day I can return the nano and get most of my $150 back O_O)

When you get this kind of "package" message the problem is often with Apple Software Update.
Uninstall ASU using the method for removing ASU in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
It may well fail to uninstall. If it does you need an installer clean up.
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
Run the clean up utility and remove any references you find to Apple Software Update.
Hopefully that will allow your install to go though.
Download the iTunes installer from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the installer on your desktop an run it from there.

ITunes gift cards & download problem

I am trying to help my son download songs onto his new iPod. 1st problem that occurred is that I don't get the option to purchase w/ a gift card. It automatically is charged to my credit card. I am unable to get my options set to being able to edit my shopping cart, etc.
2nd problem is that I am unable to get the songs from my computer to my iPod. I get an error message that I am not authorized to play the songs on this computer. How frustrating. I am the administrator of the computer and have the ability to do whatever I want, i.e. download, chat, etc. I don't understand this at all.
Can anyone help me with one or both of these issues?
Windows XP

to redeem a gift card, firstly dont try and create an accoutn. go to the itunes music store homepage. on the top right side corner it should have some QUICK LINKS
select redeem and then type your code in there.
a lot of people have been having difficulties today due to a backlog of traffic on the servers... try that.

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:

ITunes to iPod (5th Gen) download problems

Problem encoutered: "Attempting to copy disk to iPod failed.The disk could not be read from or written to."
This is the messaged I've received in trying to download my current iTunes library to my new 5th Gen iPod.
I have found it I remove the last song that iTunes attempted to download to the iPod; the the downloading continues. BUT, it occured again with another totally different song.
What is going on here? Has this occured with any one else?
Lastly, I did call Apple. We did a restore and downloaded the lastest iPod software.

I posted this in another forum.
This may pertain to you as well.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! Anyone who has problems with their iPod freezing while syncing Listen Up.
I have successfully figured out what needs to be done in order to get your iPod syncing properly.
What you will need for this it another hard drive or computer (running OS X)
You can either set a hard drive (like one of the previous iPods with OS X installed on it) as the startup disk in System Preferences.
OR
There's another option for you if you have another Mac..
What you'll need to do is start the one you need to repair (that you sync your Pod from) in "target disk mode" which is done by restarting the computer and holding the "T" button.
This puts your computer into Firewire mode, and makes your computer an external hard drive for another computer to view.
You will also need a 6pin-6pin Firewire cord - to connect the 2 computers.
Once you have the main computer up as a disk image on your other desktop, open disk utility and click the Repair disk option.
I did this and it said the drive could not be repaired, and I ran it again and it fixed it the second time, so that might happen to you too.
I know this seems like a lot to do to get your computer working with your iPod, but it definitely works.
If you don't have another computer, and (as most of you seem to) have a portable like a powerbook or an ibook, just bring it to an apple store and I'm sure they'll gladly help."
Let me know if you have any questions....
Good Luck!

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Having a problem with itunes. Just downloaded the lastest itunes update. However, it won't open because it keeps trying to download to a driver (k:) which I don't have. Since my phone iOS is updated and can't connect to itunes anymore. How do I fix this?

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.
