Itunes and no internet.

a friend of mine has just bought a 30G video. he has no internet connection.
as no itunes disc came with the product, i downloaded it, burned a disc and took it round...
he's running windows 2k - and itunes wanted service pack 4 installed. on downlaoding sp4, for him, i find that it requires an open connection to install...
so, no sp4 means no itunes, and an unusable ipod.
any ideas please?

SP4 shouldn't require an Internet connection to install. I installed more copies of SP4 than I can count on systems that didn't have an Internet connection. There's no workaround I know of if he wants to get iTunes running, though, so I believe he's going to have to get SP4 installed. If you continue to have problems getting SP4 going, you'll want to take that up with Microsoft or on a Windows support board.
Regards.

ITunes and Norton Internet Securities Fix

I have had the same problems with iTunes as everybody else.Installed fine but will not open.This was due to NIS blocking iTunes(and many other programs) from accessing the internet.This is what I did with the help from symantec;
1. open nis
2. Select personal firewall
3. select configure
4. select programs from the tabs
5. select program scan. This will scan your computer for all the programs that require access to the internet.
6. When the scan is complete look at the list of programs to see if iTunes is there.
7. If itunes is not on the list select ADD and browse to where iTunes is located on your drive and select the program.The program will be added to the list and will prompt you to configure iTunes access,select permit always.
8. restart your computer
This worked for me and came from symantec's web site and email help. Good luck

B Noir suggested I ask you about my problem.
I completely gave up on 5.0.0 and 5.0.1. They completely crashed my system and had to do a hard reboot. This is what I did first to get some function back:
Starters:
I have a brand new Sony Vaio Centrino Laptop with 1gig of memory. I am running the Norton Suite, there is a program preloaded on here called SpySubtract, and AOL is often used.
I had the prior version of ITunes running fine, with no problems whatsoever. I then upgraded to 5.0, we all know what a mistake that was. I waited for 5.0.1 and here's what happened.
FIRST ATTEMPT:
#1) I strictly followed the uninstall instructions B Noir gave me, it was link to a posting by Da Gopha.
#2) I updated/upgraded Norton to make sure I had the most recent version and data.
#3) I restarted.
#4) I turned off Norton and then I downloaded QT standalone from the Apple site.
#5) I restarted.
#6) I turned off Norton and then downloaded Itunes 5.0.1.
#7) It opened, it even found my music and everything. Joy abounded. I felt like Jack on the Titanic: I am king of the world. Silly boy I was.
#8) I closed Itunes, turned on Norton and restarted Itunes. I got to the Norton prompt page, said to always allow and then NOTHING. Dead, just nothing happened.
#9) Restarted, still nothing.
#10) Restarted, turned off Norton, tried to start Itunes, NOTHING happened.
SO:
#11) Went through all the steps to erase Itunes/Ipod etc. again.
#12) Loaded up the version that came with my disc: Itunes 4.8.31 and the QT from the disc: 6. It worked, again Joy abounds.
#13) Restart, let Norton turn back on. Tried Itunes (4.8.31) and . . . . NOTHING. I check the Norton Config and Itunes is set to allow. Bonjour is still there, don't know why, but it is also set to always allow. This version of this program worked on this machine before all this crazy 5.0 and now 5.0.1 stuff.
#14) My wife went to sleep muttering something about me losing my marbles.
#15) Restart, turn OFF Norton and try Itunes. It starts, my music is there and everything. Joy again. However, very tempered. I can now only run Itunes if, and only if I turn off Norton. I really don't like being on the internet with norton off.
I just don't get it. I don't mind not having the new version of Itunes.
Does 4.8.31 new Bonjour. If I dump Bonjour will it effect 4.8.31 functioning. If not, it may fix things. How do I get rid of Bonjour.
Any ideas why this is happening. I can't upgrade. I can't function properly. I am not as frustrated as before because now I have my music, but this is not the way things are supposed to be.
B Noir then told me to do the Norton Scan and add Itunes to the list. This is what my response was to that suggestion:
I did the NIS scan, Itunes is NOT there on the list. I went to the Itunes directory, selected the program and got a box that said the program already had rules. I went back to the list that is normally populated (not the one that is generated after the scan). Sure enough Itunes is there and it is marked Permit Always (or something like that). I thought maybe it was a setting error. I highlighted Itunes (on the NIS list) and hit modify. Crash. Computer completely frooze up. I hit control-alt-delete, could get as far as the "do you want to notify MS of the problem" and then it just sat there. Needed to do a hard reboot and now I am back where I am.
Should I delete the NIS entry for Itunes, do a scan and see what happens. Remember, I am now running 4.8.31 and will not upgrade until it looks like this is fixed. Now I am just trying to get the functionality I once had back. What about Bonjour, should I get rid of it. If yes, how do I do that?
B Noir then suggested I contact you for help because you had figured out the Norton problem interplay.
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you,
David

ITunes and Satellite Internet daily limit don't mix!! Help....

I have satellite internet which has a daily download cap. I can download unlimited mbps from 2AM to 7AM. ITunes music/videos use up a lot of mbps when I buy music. I am looking for a program that I can use that will manage the itunes music downloads during 2am-7am only so that I can still buy music, but don't have to go over my limit. Does anyone know of such a program?? Or any other ideas I could try that would help me to stay within my limits?

Set your iTunes to not "automatically download" your purchases. Then you can engage the downloads during a time that costs less.
Ultimately, it may not be as straight forward, but if you do engage a download, and it's poor timing, you can pause it and resume when ready. This might be annoying if you purchase several items and EACH has to be paused, but it will accomplish what you wish.
Another alternative is this:
Use playlists and "Gift" yourself.
I have done this in the past to accomplish a single-click-buy for multiple random items I want to get in one step.
1) Create a playlist from iTunes store items: Just drag items to a created playlist.
2) GIFT the playlist to yourself.
3) Redeem the playlist of items when downloading is cheap.
I hope something here helps.

Downloaded songs frome itunes and internet went down and they will not play and it also caused other songs not to but most will what do i need to do wiyhout erasing everything

downloaded songs from itunes and the internet went down and they will not play and also caused other songs already downloaded not to play what can i do

You can try a couple of different things. First - restart the iPod and see if the songs will play.
Restart the iPod by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help - delete the songs and then download them again. You can download purchased music again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with originally and as long as you live in one of these countries.
Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
If you are running iOS 5 on the iPod - You can delete songs by swiping across the song in list view to bring up a red delete button. Tap the button to delete the songs. Download the songs again in the purchased tab in iTunes.

ITunes and Internet not working on iMac G5

My iMac G5 didn't show the hard drive when it booted up so I took it to the genious bar and they did the Apple Alt R Command to restore settings. Now iTunes and the Internet wont work. When I try to open iTunes it tells me that I can't use iTunes with my OS - but I used it before with no problems. The Internet just won't connect using the Air Port. Any ideas?

Try restting Airport and see if you can upgrade to Leopard, you are probably trying to download an intel version of iTunes.

HT1386 I bought music off itunes and synced it to my iphone but they won't play without internet connection?!

I have bought an album off itunes and having trouble syncing to my iphone 3gs. First of all, all songs from the album were synced twice and would some would not play. I finally managed to remove the duplicates and now most of the songs on the album will not play without 3g internet connection! Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have enough free space on the phone to download them?

HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone. Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone. The downloads seems to go thru and then install. But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away. I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update. Help!!!!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Try the following user tip:
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors

Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2. I am running Windows XP.
I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.
I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files. I'm trying that now. 4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......
