ITunes 6 Download Question

When I download iTunes 6 for Windows, will my music stay in iTunes?

Yes, it should. Mine always has, over several upgrades.
But it is always best practice to have backups. iTunes purchased music only allows one download from the music store.
Also, you might want to back up your library files. These have sometimes gone missing in upgrades....and playlists, playcounts are lost.
What are the iTunes library files?

  • Itunes download Question

    I'm Trying to download itunes. The last message I'm recving says

  • ITunes download error on the iPad

    I bought some videos on iTunes (episodes of 2 TV seasons). Most everything downloaded with no problems but there are 7 that didn't complete and show up on the iTunes download page as "Download error. Tap to retry."
    If I follow the directions and tap, the message briefly changes "waiting" then back to "download error. Tap to retry" and a moment later, a dialog box shows up that says "Unable to download episode. <episode title inserted> could not be downloaded at this time."
    On the videos app, those episodes showed up but wouldn't play.  I was able to delete the seasons by clicking on the Edit button on the TV Shows page, but still the iTunes Downloads icon shows a "7" badge.
    I tried downloading those episodes again but that didn't work.
    Any advice?

    I found the answer to my question in another part of this discussion forum.  I'm adding it here in case someone else sees my original post and wants to see the solution.
    To get rid of the download error, go to the download page and find the small down-pointing arrow icon next to the "download error. Tap to retry." text.  Put your finger on the down-pointing arrow icon and flick (quick short swipe) to the left.  The down-pointing arrow icon will be replaced with a "delete" button.  Tap the delete button.  Then confirm the delete in the modal popup window.
    That's it.  An easy solution, even though it took me many hours to find the answer.

  • 7.7.1 No longer Available in iTunes Downloads?

    Hi.
    I have been back more than once to the Downloads/iTunes page (and a few others too) and can not find the download for 7.7.1 anywhere! All I can find is the 7.7 download. I've been looking for over a week now. Am I just not seeing it or has it been pulled? Is it only available thru Software Updates now or not at all? I appreciate your help!

    The Apple site only shows 7.7 but it is actually 7.7.1. I double checked on my iTunes (go to help>about iTunes) it will show you the version you have installed. Now, if you read my earlier postings I had trouble getting it to download so my spouse got it at work where they have a faster server (T1 vs cable modem) and put it on an external drive, brought it home and installed it on our PC. **** Apple - they hate us PC users! Good Luck!
    Socrmom,
    I did see your other post to me. I am really glad that it helped you get your tunes back! I have been fortunate with it as well, even tho I know many haven't been so lucky. I don't know why they are not being more clear about which version it is on the iTunes download page? Kind of confusing and/or misleading unless........ (sorry, can't speculate)
    Anyhow... as I told James, I've had the download from day one and got it through systems updates. I have really been wanting to reference it tho, as there are alot of questions about both versions and I really don't want to disseminate bad or inaccurate information to anybody.
    Ciao.

  • 1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.

    1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.
    2nd - While trying to fix it, itunes made all albums and artists unknown
    3rd - While trying to get an answer I am unable to contact anyone or even send an email requesting an answer.
    4th - While trying to use the "fast lane" i ran into trying to find the product S/N, I went to my account and it was not there. I tried to see it on the back of the Ipod but had to find a magnifying glass to even read it.
    5th  -- The we will get back to you really ****** me off
    6th  -- I have wasted 2 hours to fix something that should not have happened and the situation is worse than when i started
    7Th  --- Itunes management of songs is terrible and there are NO instructions and even worse no support
    8th  ----  Apple is going down the toilet because the products are good, not great, and the itunes instructions are non existent
    9th  --- to even suggest i pay for product support is insulting and a sign that apple is desperate
    10th -The suggestion for online feedback is this; BE ON-LINE SUPPORT, NOT WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE NOW.

    I agree with stevejobsfan - (0123).
    However, if what you actually want to do is to fix/sort out your problem, why no try posting a question on that subject?
    For starters - you can re-name the tracks in your iTunes library, so it is possible to correct the changes that you must have made that mean that songs are now "unknown artists and albums."

  • Lossless (ALAC) iTunes downloads?

    I recently started re-importing my CDs as lossless ALAC files, which are both much bigger and sound much clearer than the default 256 kbps compressed files. Is there a way to change the iTunes store setting so if I purchase music it downloads lossless? Or am I stuck with 256k or going old-school and buying a whole CD when I only want one song? Thanks!

    As a music lover myself I know what you mean regarding lossless. Listening to a friends iTunes download I realised that he had cloth ears as I could clearly hear the lack of clarity and poor, muddy detail. Consequently I never purchase music downloads from iTunes. I buy CDs and rip them myself using lossless settings. Apple have always had a thing about thinking that if it was good enough for them it was good enough for everyone. There is also the question of file size and time taken to download these files. Neither of which I give a stuff about. It seems to me apple want to make sure they dont lose the cloth eared fraternity who seem able to listen to anything even a tinny mobile playing distorted music at its maximum volume through its tiny little speaker. Apple would rather lose revenue from the discerning listeners than the majority of people who are happy with audio quality which is nowhere near CD quality.

  • New itune download. unable to right click copy

    new itunes download.
    I'm now unable to right click copy and past album artwork on my itune library.
    Please can you help

    The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

  • How long should itunes download take on new computer with windows 7 64 bit ie8?

    I bought a new computer and need to sync my iphone with it.  I'm getting a msg that it has 17+ hrs left to download itunes......seems too long and wonder what I'm doing wrong. thx.

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Problem with itunes update.  I am running OSX v 10.4.11 and can't get itunes to update.  I had itunes 9.1.1 and when I tried ask it to update it said there was no update. sent old itunes to trash and now apple site itunes download is not working.  help...

    From Apple website when I go to itunes update to 10.3 I am not seeing the left column to download itunes 10.3.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I tried yesterday as well.  Today, I threw my itunes 9.1.1 in the trash and emptied it... and then rebooted.  What am I doing wrong?

    What operating system are you running?  I doubt it's an iPhone OS on a Mac Mini, but if you meant to choose 10.4 then you're out of luck.  http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/  At the bottom of the left hand column on this page, you'll see it requires OS X 10.5 or higher.

  • Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

    I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open.  It says "Itunes has stopped working".  I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working.  Any tips or advice on what to try?

    If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    If you want to sync your iPhone with a new computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    iTunes will let you sync some stuff from multiple computers, but it'll only let you sync music, videos or apps from one iTunes library.

  • ITUNES downloads from store causing BSOD windows stop error- Please Help!

    Hi everyone,
    maybe someone can help me out or knows how to fix this problem.
    Problem in detail:
    This problem started since I updated to the latest version of itunes 7 to download video for my ipod video 30gb. Itunes worked perfect on my computer before updating as I used it with an ipod mini.
    I was able to use my new IPOD 30gb fine and transfer all my music to it correctly.
    The main problem occurrs when downloading anything from itunes store...1st noticed this when my podcasts were updating and downloading and then the system suddenly crashed with the windows blue screen error message and had to reboot. This happened multiple times so I disabled the automatic downloads of podcasts. Itunes then works fine when not downloading anything.
    I then tried purchasing a TV show, whole series, and when it began downloading, the Exact same Error and Blue screen will occur--Very Frustrating.
    I uninstalled ITUNES and Quicktime, and then reinstalled them via the latest download from itunes. The same errors still occur.
    When windows reboots and sends error report to Microsoft, it states the error is due to a Driver error of which the specific driver is not known.
    I have called apple/itunes support and spoke with them and they could not figure out the problem and said I should check with my computers cust service and/or microsoft as it was probably something on this end...I did this and they stated the problem must be something with itunes and especially since all other programs run fine on my system.
    SO basically I am going in circles trying to figure this out so I am hoping someone here may know how to fix this problem.
    Not only that, but I tried the same on my desktop as I figured I could at least download my podcasts and purchases to my desktop and then transfer to my ipod from there(as I am mainly using my labtop for my ipod) and updated my desktop to itunes 7 latest version,, and figured it would work on my desktop with same operating system----but it Caused the SAME error BSOD as my labtop and in same fashion....only when downloading from itunes.
    ANy help is much appreciated as I got the ipod video mainly because of ITUNES video content and podcasts and if I cannot use these major functions on ITUNES than This Was a Complete Waste for me to get the Video IPOD.
    Hope there is a way to fix
    Thanks

    I afraid can’t help much with this, but no one else
    has answered. It does seem very odd that two
    different computers have the same problem. It makes
    you wonder about the content you were trying to
    download. As a matter of interest was the
    installation for both computers done from the same
    download file?
    When your computer dies, can you read the stop
    message or does it disappear, if it does, go to
    Control Panel>System>Advanced
    Click Settings in Start Up and Recovery and make sure
    that Automatically Restart is no checked.
    You should be able to get a stop number from the blue
    screen and you may also be able to identify the
    filename of a driver, which could give a clue to the
    problem.
    The Microsoft Website has a certain amount of help on
    specific stop messages, you can search for the number
    of the stop message which will be something like
    0x0000000A.
    There is also some help on troubleshooting stop
    messages here:
    http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
    Thanks for your reply.
    As far as the content being downloaded from itunes---consisted of different podcasts and also on a separate occasion-the tv show Heroes complete season on ITUNES..So I would guess the error has nothing to do with the content being downloaded.
    The ITUNES installation for both computers was from the same itunes download file on this website on apples itunes free download.
    I did not write down the most recent stop numbers and no drivers seemed to be named on the blue screen from what I could tell, but I guess I could be missing something...
    From a previous crash with the BSOD- the error message listed was this: STOP: 0x00000050 (0xbad0b158, 0x00000000, 0x8056ea22, 00000002)
    not sure if this helps maybe figure out the cause of this or not.
    Maybe this will help get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks
