ITunes 9 won't upgrade over iTunes 8

I have iTunes 8 installed on Windows Vista SP2 (fully updated). I went to download and install iTunes 9. The install took roughly 45 minutes (way too long!). Once installed, I immediately restarted the computer. After the restart, I opened iTunes through the Start Menu and iTunes 8 opened! I cannot figure out what happened (MobileMe and QuickTime seem to have upgraded OK).
Help is appreciated.

I'm having similar issues. iTunes 9 hung during the install. When it launched, it hung on converting the library, but eventually did it. Took well over a half hour. Then it automatically tried to do a Genius update.
Well, that also hung iTunes and almost an hour.
I then plugged in my wife's 32 GB Touch. Again hung iTunes. Force Quit and re-launch, and it detects the iPod and prompts to update to 3.1.1. Halfway through the update I get a spinning beach ball.
After that is done and I finally sync the **** touch, I update my Podcasts. Spinning beach ball and 15 minutes later, no updates.
Then I turned SoundCheck on. Instant beach ball. It's been an hour and half and it hasn't even done 25% of my library yet. It moves along slowly, but there's a spinning beach ball throughout the whole process so far.
I've rebooted between each spinning beach ball and force quit more times than I can count.

  • Itunes won't copy over some of my podcasts and purchases since I have moved it to an external hardrive

    So I Have moved over all my purchases and everything to an external hardrive. I did everything right and my itunes story works perfectly fine. However one of my podcasts (yugioh the abridged series) won't copy over along to the ipod saying its file type is not supported by the ipod. It only does this with the first 8 episodes (if you find it you will see them) one of which (the bbt movie) worked perfectly fine on my ipod before but now for some reason it won't. It also won't work on a few of the tv shows that are in hd and one music album that had american boy in it. I'm wondering what I can do to solve this problem. My itunes and my computer (windows vista operating system) is up to date and I have an ipod classic with plenty of room what should I do.

    This doesn't work. The iOS4 upgrade has wiped out synchronization to Outlook to the phone and back. There are many threads on this here, and Apple has yet to address this issue.

  • How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

    iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
    When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows  installer package. Contact the package vendor".
    It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
    Any smarts out there who could help?
    Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
    Thanks much

    I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience.  I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP.  I think I was stuck on 10. 
    I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app.  I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found.  I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs.  Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it.  After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
    I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer.  I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

  • Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

    Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7.  I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device.  Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
    The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

    Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened.  It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
    With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • TS4036 This is my new iPad and my old iPad pictures won't cloud over

    My new iPad won't cloud over pics from old ipad

    If you are talking about photo stream photos, it's probably because iCloud only keeps them for 30 days.  After that, they are deleted from iCloud but up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.
    When you enable photo stream on your new iPad, you would only receive photos added in the last 30 days as the older photos have been deleted.
    If you want to transfer the missing photos to your new iPad, you can either create a shared photo stream on your old iPad that includes them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99); or import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your new iPad from the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings; or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your new iPad over wifi.

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • I Photo Libraries on ext HD won't upgrade, permissions 'cannot be repaired'

    I've copied several I Photo Libraries to external HD over the years.  Upgraded to Lion, now some libraries won't upgrade and permissions 'cannot be repaired' how do I access these photos/videos?

    We need to know the format. Is it a NAS? FAT or NTSC? Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Any but the last of these will cause you issues.

  • Mac Mini won't turn over

    Hi folks,
    A mac mini in my household won't turn over. It gets to the grey Apple screen with the spinning search circle, but stays that way.
    The strange behaviour began after I installed the latest security and safari update via Software Update.
    I tried resetting the pram, using the included install disk to check the HD with disc first aid with no results. Will I have to re-install the OS now?
    Mac Mini PowerPC g4 / 1.5ghz / 512 mb RAM
    Your collective help is appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The symptoms you describe and the circumstances in which it occurred are often indicative of a problem with prebinding, and can be caused for example by running the system on other tasks while also applying updates. Prebinding is the process whereby MacOS links executables with their library files, and when it is damaged it can cause the system to become unresponsive or fail.
    When you say that you used the install disk to check the HD 'with no results' I assume you mean that it found no problem. Given that you were able to boot the system with that disk, it demonstrates that the system is healthy, so at that point and assuming you did not get any errors when testing with Disk Utility, I would suggest you boot to the install disk again, and select the option to 'archive and install' (an option that is reached by clicking the button for a custom installation). Archive and Install will put a fresh copy of macOS on the drive, but leave your applications and files untouched. Once the new MacOS copy is installed, you can boot as normal and then I would urge you to download the 10.4.11 combo update from the Apple downloads page (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html) and install that, before running Software Update to grab any additional updates required.
    Ensure you are not running any applications or performing any other tasks on the system when performing updates - particularly not when you see the system reporting 'Optimizing system' towards the end of an update. This is when the system is actually updating prebinding, and where running anything else can cause problems. This was a known issue and was resolved in MacOS 10.5.x by a different routine for updates.
    As always when doing this kind of work, it is strongly advised that you ensure you have a good backup of all your data first.
