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.

Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring.

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

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

Michael
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

IChatAV3 and Satellite Internet

Since I live in the swamps and Bellsouth only has dialup, I have subscribe to WildBlue Satellite Internet. My downlink is 1Mbps and uplink is 200Kbps. The downlink works pretty good but my problem is with the uplink. Various testing indicators say I am really doing about 168 Kbps uplink. And that is about what I really should expect.
The problem is, iChat sees the uplink as less than 50Kbps and therefore you know what that means. I have been through the FAQs and tried to ensure the speeds, ports, firewalls, setups, etc. I have my streaming speed set to my downlink of 1Mbps. The WildBlue technicians tell me that satellite delays is what the problem could be. And also that it is an iChat software problem.
Help!!

Hi LA Sculler,
This is normally down to the latency of the modem.
They are often set so that the data rate is slower when the use is low and it speeds up as you put through or request more data.
iChat requires that the speed is there from the moment you start up iChat as it takes a reading from the Quicktime setting.
It is often difficult if not impossible to fool the modem (such as listening a sample of a iTunes store file) to get the modem to tell iChat that the connection speed is fast enough.

If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

ITunes and easycd creator 5.0 don't work together

I have an older home built system and have always used easy cd creator 5.0 to burn mp3 cds. after installing iTunes on my system cd creator could no longer find my cd buner so the only way i could fix the problem was to remove iTunes and reinstall easy cd has this happened to anyone but me
p.s
I don't have the cash to upgrade my system. so buying a newer version of easy cd is not an option. the newest version of easy cd needs a much faster system than my old 1.3mhz its not worth paying 80 bucks to get it so iguess im out of luck oh well.

yes, the early versions of Easy CD Creator are pretty notorious for the sorts of Device Filter conflicts that can produce those symptoms. for example, see:
Cannot Access CD-ROM and "Code 31" Error Message in Device Manager After You Remove Adaptec Easy CD Creator from Your Computer
(MS) CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP
... how early is your 5.0.x? if you have an early enough version, you can start running into BSOD problems on an XP box. see:
