Itunes 7 and Multi Disk Backup Erroneous Message

iTunes 7 Backup feature gives a completely erroneous message when it completes the 1st of multiple (DVD) disks (tried and it did this twice). Message says backup failed but provides options to "retry", "cancel" or "next". First time I just cancelled. The second time it gave me this Microsoft Windows type message I just put in the 2nd disk (DVD) and it finished copying the next gig of data and finished the DVD and said backup complete. One wonders who was writing, reading or translating the message that should probably have said "insert next disk to continue backup". Has anyone else experienced this message?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

okay. i've seen four or five of these lately. it
seems to be associated with something to do with
external drives and/or drive letter assignments, and
can hit other programs than itunes (according to a
thread i found at the Microsoft Newsgroups).
here's a search on the error code here at
Discussions:
c0000013
... are any of the links in the various threads there
of any assistance with your manifestation of this?
Make that six. I am now receiving the exact same error message. My message makes iTunes completely inoperable and there is no way for me to get around it. Yes, I too have external drives attached to my computer. Anyone have advice on how to deal with this exception errort? I hope Apple has fix for us soon.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Today is April 10, 2013. I try to login to iTunes connect and I keep getting the message "An error has occurred processing your request. Please try again later or send an email for assistance." It never tells us what email address we need to write to.

The problem was solved by Apple Technical Help. The process is as flollows:
1. Open Safari
2. Menu item Safari-Reset Safari - remove all website data - reset
3. Now if you try to login on iTunes connect it will work.

Why won't iTunes open and what does this error message mean?

I can't open up my iTunes. I've tried reinstalling it but it still doesn't work. I get an error message that reads: The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. I press ok and then another message pops up reading: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127). I don't get an error message when I hook up my iPod but it doesn't bring up iTunes either and restarting my computer doesn't seem to help. I don't want to completely remove iTunes from my computer because I'm afraid I'll lose most of my music since most of it were on CDs which I no longer have. Help?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

Running iTunes 1, can I go straight to iTunes 6 and should I backup my musc

The Subject pretty much asks my question...I am running iTunes 1 and wish to upgrade as now I have a photo iPod and would like to include pictures on it. I need atleast iTunes 4 should i / can i go straight to 6 or must i download the in between steps. Also should I back up my current song files or will iTunes automatically load them???

That's a pretty big jump in versions. I would definately back up your iTunes Music Library .xml file. Your music files should be okay, but you might want to back those up as well.
If there's any difference in the formats that version 1 and version 6 use, at some point, some iTunes would have dealt with that. I've been using iTunes since version 1 (in os9) and have done nothing but install the updates as they came out. I've never backed up anything. But, again, that's a pretty big jump.
The big question you should ask yourself is are you worried about your playcounts, etc. If iTunes 6 has any problems locating your library, then you can always direct iTunes to where your music files are stored. I think the worst that could happen would be all your playcounts would be reset to zero.
Here's what I did when I bought my Mini and imported my library from my iBook. I backed up my .xml files from my iBook. Fired up iTunes on my Mini. It started up with no songs in the library. I closed iTunes and looked for the .xml file it created. I then replaced it with the backed up .xml from my iBook. Fired iTunes back up and voila! There was my library.
But if you have any doubts at all then yes, backup everything. But do not forget to back up your iTunes Library .xml file.

Using 1 External HDD to store iTunes content AND Time Machine Backup

Ok, I don't know a great deal about external hard drives but from what I've read, I'm hoping there's an option to use a 2TB hard drive to store my iTunes content, and as a Time Machine hard drive for backing up. Is this at all possible?
I have an iMac and a MacBook (therefore this would be quite beneficial). If I attach a 2TB hard drive to an AirPort Extreme Base station can I use Time Machine on BOTH computers, linked wirelessly to the one hard drive?
Is it just a matter of partitioning, say, 500GB for storage and the rest (1.5TB) for Time Machine?
Thanks in advance,
Ry

The best way is to partition the drive - one for your iTunes and one for TM backups.
Using a drive connected to an AEBS for TM backups is not supported, but it can be done. Use Airport Utility to set up the TM drive and turn on File Sharing. You will have to "mount" the shared drive before you can use it with TM. Same with the partition you would use for iTunes.

Helllp, i dowload itunes update and now i got a message saying:this copy of itunes is corrupted or not installed , reistall again...

i dowloaded a update for itunes and now when i try to open it tells me:
this copy of itunes is corruped or not installed....its telling me to reinstall...someone help please lol
when it was in the middle of updating itunes closed .......i duno if that matters....

No, you SHOULDN'T lose your library. I say SHOULDN'T because over the years, I've lost quite a few songs by updating iTunes. I'm not sure why that is but it happens. Other than maybe losing a couple of songs here and there (IF that even happens at all to you), your library should remain intact.
I recommend UNINSTALLING iTunes on your computer first (if it shows up in the Uninstall Menu) and then installing iTunes 11 from a fresh download.
Any version of Windows should have a similar process for uninstalling a program. I've been using Windows since Windows 95 and I now use Windows 7 so I know the process is similar now matter which version you use. I will tell you how I do it in Windows 7.
Start > Control Panel > Uninstall A Program
Then scroll down the menu until you find "iTunes" and highlight it. Then at the top of the screen, select Uninstall. Let Windows finish uninstalling it (it may require a Restart of your computer). Follow all the steps to uninstall it.
Then visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and get iTunes 11 for your version of Windows. Download it and install it.
This SHOULD fix the problem. Once you do that, you'll need to go through the process of locating your library though the iTunes Preferences menu. Once your library is sync'd with iTunes, you should be ready to enjoy your music again.
I hope that works for you!

I am also hoping that i will be able to do a restor eform the cloud once i get this sorted

Hello, fletch72.
Thank you for the question. I see you have uninstalled, reinstalled and the error is persisting. Try one more time uninstalling all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. These steps must be processed in the order specified or the error will persist. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

If the issue persists, you will need to process the steps in the article below for each component and reinstall.

The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. I was update the iTunes software and it gave me that message. I ended up without iTunes and not I can't download info for my iPad.

I tried to update my iTunes software for my iPad. I got the above message. iTunes did not install and now I no longer had iTunes at all. I can't update my iPad software without it.
I have tried Revo, CCleaner, COMODO, "find" in Regedit. Nothing finds anything related to Apple Software Update.

okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use it to remove the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update:

reboot the PC after using CleanUp. any joy with the itunes install now?

ITunes, library and iPhone after PC restore

Hi there.
I had to format and restore my PC from scratch. I backed up everything, including my iTunes library and my iPhones backup (backup of a backup).
Now I have installed the latest version of iTunes afresh on my restored PC and authorised my iTunes account.
I have connected my iPhone and after installing the drivers I could back up the data from my iPhone.
Also, I imported the iTunes library file (xml) and I could see the list of playlists but there were no songs in any of them! So I copied the all the music folders/files to the new iTunes folder (now the name is "iTunes Media", before it was "iTunes Music" even if the version of iTunes was exactly the same!). The main issue is that now I have lost almost all files artwork and there is nothing in the "iPhone Selection" playlist that I used to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone!
First problem now... if I want to sync the iPhone with my Yahoo account iTunes tells me that my iPhone was synced with another account (but in reality is the same Yahoo account) and wants to know if I want to merge the info on my iPhone with the info on "this" account (not sure if it means the "new" Yahoo account or the "old" one) or replace the data on my iPhone withe the info from "this" account (they should also get better in explaining things in English!).
Also if I want to sync my iPhone apps iTunes tells me that syncing apps will remove all my apps on my iPhone! Why?! In my old iTunes folder I had several sub-folders, including a folder called "Mobile applications", now in the newly installed iTunes I don't see it. Should I just copy the whole folder from my backup to the new iTunes folder? If I choose to "Transfer purchases" this is what I get!!!
Any ideas why this all happens? Any suggestion to make this restore simple would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Select the ones you want again via the apps tab when your phone is plugged in.

My time machine does not back up and giving me this error message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Amiel’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. Pls help.

Make sure that there are no other Macs backing up at the present time.
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back in
This will "fix" things about 98% of the time. Post back if you are in the unlucky 2% category.

If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
