ITunes 7.0.1 still erasing my songs after failed update

I am updating my ipod and have received both the corrupt file and now the unknown error -69 message. The bad part is that somewhere in that instance, it is erasing the songs off my iPod. I've restored many times and brought it in to a store where they restored it without much help (since it worked on their systems, they said it must be my computer, yet I've encountered this error on 3 separate computers!)
I never had this problem before iTunes 7. Can anyone help?

As an update: It looks like iTunes 7.0.1 was not the culprit. At the same time I had upgraded, I also installed a Dazzle Media Bridge. That turned out to be the problem;
My symptoms:
Plugging in the iPod would lock up the Windows explorer and the iPod drive did not mount. Sometimes I could get the drive letter to show up but the device could not be browsed. An attempt at formatting the iPod never worked. The iPod Mini would mount successfully on a different PC (running iTunes 7.0)
Finally, I unplugged the Dazzle Bridge and the iPod immediately mounted as a drive. It is now syncing properly with iTunes 7.0.1

ITunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update.

iTunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update. I have tries reinstalling, but it comes up with it again. I have uninstalled every Apple program and reinstalled them but still the same.

What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

My Itunes is erasing my songs after each day! Anyone know what I can do?

I went through all the trouble to put all the songs on my Itunes after it erased them once. After a day of having them on there... I will open Itunes and they are completely vanished again.
I don't know why this is happening but I don't want to have to load all my songs day after day. Does anyone know why this happens, what I can do to fix it, or if has happened to anyone else?
Also, I sign up for my apple account, and at the same time of erasing my songs.. it says I no longer have an account. (I am asking this question on a friends account.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you!

You wouldn't happen to have your music on a thumb drive or some other portable drive. Also, check in your preferences and check the box to create a copy onto your hard drive.

5G iPod skipping songs after iPod Update 1.1

After I updated my 5G 60 Gig video iPod to Update 1.1, my iPod started to skip certain songs. I have tried erasing the songs, importing them again from the CD, and reloading them back to the iPod and the iPod still won't play those SPECIFIC songs! Never had this problem before the update.
Btw, if I restore my iPod will I have to reload all the songs/files again?
Thank you for your help!

Ok... This is so strange. If I import those skipped/unplayable songs from the CDs again using a different encoder (MP3 instead of AAC), the resulting songs would play fine on the iPod. Again, never had this problem before Update 1.1.

Recent iTunes purchases will not play on my iPhone after recent update. Grey cloud and red arrow syndrome. Please help?

Hello,
I need a bit of help. I have made a handful of itunes purchases over the past few months. Yesterday, I updated both my itunes and iphone with the latest updates. Now, after the update on my iphone I can not get my recent song purchases to play (they played before I updated my phone). There is a greay cloud with the downward pointing red arrow. When I click the cloud/arrow nothing happens and it won't download. I've tried a handful of things that I have found on these forums to no avail. I've reset software, checked/unchecked this box on my phone and on itunes on my computer, removed and re-installed. I know this is all a litle vague on what I have done, but please know I've tried and tried all kinds of advice. Now, I have tpo reach out to the community and see if there is soomehting else that may work.
Thanks,
BG

Hey bgojdics!

ITunes 11.1.1 won't open even after OS update. Is there something ELSE I'm missing?

After I updated my iTunes to 11.1.1, it wouldn't open. I found something on these forums that had a link to an OS update to fix the problem. Downloading and installing the OS update took nearly 24 hours, and iTunes still won't open. Is there something else I'm missing?

first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if mavericks wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
(first type) killall iTunes
(then hit return)
(then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
(then hit return)
(then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
(and hit return)
after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
then download itunes from apple.
if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

TS5376 For "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer", I followed the steps and there is no C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files..Also, after the update, I no longer show my disk drive when I load a CD.

After downloading the new Itunes update, my compter now shows error: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I follwed the Apple fix / steps but it did not correct it. Also, after the update my disk drive is not recognized on my computer. If I load a CD, I cannot even access it.

See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to the advice above) 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 page in case one of them applies. E.g. TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Your phone is in recovery mode. Connect it to your computer and restore using iTunes.

Why do I still have old Pages after installing update

Why do I still have old Pages after installing update

I dont get it! I updated new pages and numbers, Now I have both new and old on my computer!!
Am I supposed to delete the old?

Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

yes the title says most of what is going on.
I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
It starts up with the apple logo
-goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
-then shuts off
-and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

Still getting GPU Crashes after Graphics Update 1.0 MBP 2010

Hi all,
I am very disappointed after updating my computer to the latest Graphics Update. I have been recieving the problem less frequently before the update but now it's happening often.

This is a error relating to the GPU retrieved from console. I recieved the black screen bug after waking my computer up from sleep (closing it after the bug wont sleep), then hard powered-off the computer. After a while, I turned the computer back on only to realise that the computer froze at the login screen (the mouse moves and sound will change, brightness controls show, but does not physically change), with the exact same error code from console but a different time.

I have a MacBook Pro 10.7.2, ALL updates except for Aperture and iPhoto (cbf).
What do I have to do now, other than returning computer to Apple Store (that will be my option if no solutions can be made)?

My computer freezes totally randomly, didn't find a solution till now, but I did discover ...
(1) When using an external monitor, can't wake up from sleep, I have to force shutdown . While after the update this problem has Gone. So dealing with external displays is no more the problem, sleep - wake up ,,, all ok.
(2) Before the MacBook Pro video update 1.0, I had no problems at all while using the internal display, Except the Log In screen Freez, and it was randomly, it could happen 3-4 times a month.
(3) After the Update, external display is perfect, but log in screen freez issue increased dramatically.
My Operation system was OS X lion 10.7.2 upgraded from 10.6.8., So I decided to do a Lion clean install.
* I wiped the drive, even made it a new one Partioin, installed 10.7, then 10.7.2 combo update. started to crash even without an external display, and I still didn't even install any applications, so I made the video update, and the computer started to act more crazy.
* Now I installed a new hard drive, with a clean 10.6.8 runnning, I'll test the hardware again, then upgrade to Lion, as I found that the upgrade from 10.6.8 to lion was less troubles, than the Lion clean install.
I hope its not a hardware issue concerning the Macbook Pro, I suspect the Harddrive, as I got a folder named :
( Lost+Found ), though the Lion Clean install on the new drive didn't solve the problem.
( HELP ) !!!
Sorry for the Long post, but I am stuck now, cause I was a mobileMe user, and I upgraded to iCloud, and I am back to 10.6.8 cause I can't deal with the unstability of 10.7.2 and iCloud !!!
MacBookPro 6,2; 15", Mid 2010 ; 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5; 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
Any Suggestions please ...

HT1420 After updating to 11 for itunes and ios 7 for phone - I lost over 3500 songs from my itunes. My ipod still has 4100 songs on it less the most recent ones I have purchased. Can't my ipod be used to recreate the library in itunes?

After updating itunes to 11.1 and phone to ios7, I lost more than 3500 songs from my library. My ipod has 4185 songs less the most recent I purchased.
Is there no way an ipod can be used to restore the lost music? Yes, some of it was from cds but were done a long time ago. Obviously it was acceptable for me to compile this music then, now they want to say since it all wasn't purchased, I can't have what was already mine? Plus I do not use nor want to use the cloud, but it keeps creeping up even though I don't want or use it. HELP!

For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

Hey all
I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

Itunes doesn't save any of my songs after I exit it!

My ipod is fine, all my playlist and songs are still there but on my laptop, everything is gone. When I added all my songs again and sync my ipod to it, all the songs show up but the info on my ipod doesn't show up. And as soon as I finish adding my songs again, i would exit it, and open itunes again. But nothing shows up just like the first time. It just recently happened and i don't know what's wrong. >_<
I also can't find my iTunes Music Library.xml anywhere so that means i can't recreate my itunes library!

Go to the iPhone discussion and search for calendar synching. I've been there and solved my iCal problems. Look for info on deleting a "cache" folder as well, I know I removed one but can't remember which one.
I think you can only sync personal calendars.
Also try creating another user on your mac, log-out as yourself and log-in as the new and then try opening iTunes to see if it recognizes your calendars.
