ITunes 8.1 won't work plus apple TV issue

ok so my iTunes has stopped working since I updated to 8.1
this is a bit annoying, could it be that it isn't working because i updated it in canada?
either way it doesn't work and when i try and play a song it gives an error
'a required component is not installed -42401'
i've been advised by apple to back everything up and reload it, which gives me the heeby jeebies but shouldn't be too much of a biggy asides from it being a complete waste of my time
but one thing i have done is load up my apple TV with loads of films, and then physically deleted them from my laptop - for obvious space issues
so will this wipe the appleTV
or can anyone think of a fix?
as i haven't kept back ups of a lot of the films
cheers!

ok so i just downloaded it again, seems to work fine now!

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

My iTunes Music Store Won't Work

My iTunes music store won't work. Ever since I tried upgrading my iTunes, the music store cannot connect. I don't think it is the iTunes itself because I have talked to people and theirs is working fine. Mine worked until I tried to update it. I tried to re-upgrade it but it still won't work.

It's working for me now. If it's working for you too then ignore the next step else go ahead and give it a try.
I uninstalled quick time and then itunes.
Restarted the machine and re-installed the latest update.
This works! Good luck.

"new" iTunes 10 Library won't work with Tiger

I have my music on an external hard drive. I can move it between my "office" digital audio G-4 tower (running Tiger 10.4.11) which has beautiful sounding Harmon Kardan external speakers, and my newer 2009 iMac "work" computer, running Leopard. All was fine until I upgraded the iMac's iTunes to 10.1. Now my library won't work on the Tiger "office" machine because it was "created" with a newer iTunes. I can't load iTunes 10 onto the G-4 because of 10.1's system requirements. Any way I can get my music playing again on both machines? Thank you. Joe

You are a genius, Limnos; should be at the genius bar. Shame on Apple for NOT warning us that an upgrade to iTunes 10.x will kill compatibility with previous versions. I followed your directions, discarded v10, replaced the iTunes Library with the last one in the Previous folder, downloaded v9.2.1 and I was in business on both machines! I'm listening to old Mayall & Clapton right now on the better speakers, but older machine. Thanks again! Joe

My Ipod isn't compatible with iTunes 8.1 & won't work- what do I do???

Hi
My iPod isn't compatible with iTunes 8.1, which I downloaded today. My iPod is 3 years old (20GB,scroll wheel)and it won't work now. When I connect it to my computer it just says, "Please Wait - Very Low Battery." I'll be waiting forever if I don't find a solution!!!
Any help from ye experts would be much appreciated
Cheers

Every iPod ever made is compatible with the latest iTunes.
My iPod is 3 years old (20GB,scroll wheel)and it won't work now.
The last 20GB iPod was made in 2005, I believe, so it is more than 3 years old. If it has a monochrome screen, it is older. So if the battery has not been changed, it may be worn out.
You should try resetting the iPod following these instructions.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for the 16 GB one and $149 for the others. You can send it to Apple or exchange it at an Apple store

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

My Iphone 3GS won't connect to itunes, recovery mode won't work, only charges from wall charger when you turn it off then plug it in

I actually have the phone now in recovery mode, it's got the screen up, and I have it plugged in, and nothing's happening. I know the cable isn't screwed, because I use it to charge all the time.

Itunes rental movie won't play on apple tv

I'm trying to play an itunes rental movie via itunes on my Windows 8 computer through Apple TV.
Upon trying to play the movie the computer says "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (-41049)."
The TV says "This movie is already being viewed on another Apple TV or computer...."
The movie is NOT playing anywhere else.
Any advice on how to fix this?

My rental stopped about 10 minutes ago and I can't restart it. Actually, I was just prompted to update Apple TV ... guess they rolled out an update that caused the issue? Find out here soon ...

ITunes won't work with Apple TV remote speakers

I'm running the most current version of iTunes and Apple TV on both my iMac and Macbook PRO. I can connect to the Apple TV for remote speakers fine from the Macbook PRO but cannot through the iMac. This problem has existed for my iMac for quite sometime now. It was only until recently that I've been able to test this problem against my new Macbook PRO to see what happens. Now at least I know it's the iMac and NOT the Apple TV..
I also restored the Apple TV to factory settings and the remote speaker option worked before the update. After the update, when I select the option for Apple TV for remote speakers it thinks for moment and unchecks what I just checked for remote speakers. No error occurs.
Please help!!!

Does ANYONE know if they can help me? Thanks in advance!

Netflix won't work on Apple TV anymore

Hi there - bought my Apple TV a few months ago and signed up for Netflix over 30 days ago. Everything worked fine.
Now everytime I try to start Netflix I receive an error message "We're unable to connect you to Netflix. Please try again later (ATV-ui113)
Any idea?

I also have the same issue and I have done all that restarting, resetting, unplugging everything. In my case none of that stuff works. I have the latest software. It is connected wired to ethernet port from the router because I gave up trying to make it work with Wi-Fi. There is no connection problem! Everything connects just fine. Even when I connect to the Wi-Fi network. It simply won't stream Netflix. I get sound but the picture either goes black or freezes. Apple!! Make the **** thing work with something other than iTunes Store and don't make us buy your overpriced router (Airport Express or Extreme). I'm betting I can go out and buy a Rocu right now and it would work just fine.
