ITunes doesn't want to work. Help please?

I'm not sure what version of iTunes I have but I got a new iPod touch and it says I need "iTunes 10.5 or later" but I already have it downloaded and when I tried to install it, it said "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified." And i'm not sure what i can do to make it work.
And i have Windows Vista just in case that helps.
I Hope someone can help me with my problems. Thanks for your time

this is something to do with your firewall settings which is preventing your system while installing itunes, better to get a technician if you are not good technically as you may have to disable a few options in your firewall settings

Help, itunes doesn't want to work with airtunes and my airport express!

Strangely specific problem with playing itunes using airtunes. Just connected an Airport express to my time capsule. All the software and firmware is up to date, and I'm streaming from itunes to an airport express connected to a stereo. My itunes is on a laptop. My library is on the time capsule. Almost everytime the song changes, the audio drops out and stays out until I pause and replay the song. It's the weirdest thing. There are no random audio drops, just a failure to keep playing when the song switches (and it doesn't happen every time, just some of the time). This is similar but not the same as the problems other folks are having with airport express and itunes audio drop outs. Does anyone have a solution?

Problem solved. Upgrading to most recent itunes relased yesterday seems to have fixed the problem.

HT4527 I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

TS2771 my itouch 4th gen internal speaker doesn't want to work. what can i do to fix it? help please!

my itouch 4th gen internal speaker doesn't want to work. what can i do to fix it? help please!

- Try inserting/removing a earphone plug a dozen or more times.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a bad headphone jack.

Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

CS3 doesn't want to work any more

Hello,
I have an old version of the creative suite that is all right for what I do (information for a charitable organisation for medical research) installed in 2008. For quite a while now every once in a while when I start up I get a screen asking me to register. But since I already am registered Adobe just said to click on later and go on working. But this morning the screen is empty so I can't click anywhere. I've tried restarting and even turning off the computer and trying to restart my day.
What can I do ? Help !
Thanks.

Thanks a lot. That worked for me too. I was afraid that CS3 had changed into
a pumpkin this morning.

I had my CS3 freezing this morning on startup. I hope you didn't reinstall or
anything bacause the sollution is quite simple: What helped me was restarting
Photoshop with the internet cable pulled out. Apperently it was freezing on
the registerscreen, and by removing the internet cable I surpassed that
screen, to see another screen.after that i could start it up again with the
internet cable plugged in again.

Hi i have an ipod A1099 but it doesn´t want to work, when I try to charge it, its present the apple on the screen and then post a message saying to visit apple support. Please help me, I don´t want to loose my ipod.

Hi thenicegirl07,
It sounds like your Click Wheel iPod is showing a sad iPod icon. If it will go into Disk Mode you may be able to restore it, take a look at the article and quote below for more information about the alert and possible resolutions.
iPod displays a sad iPod icon
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1373
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.
If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod is in need of service. Set up an iPod Service Request or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store. To make a reservation:
Go to http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/.
Choose an Apple Store location.
Click the Reserve link under Genius Bar.
Choose iPod.
Select your desired reservation date and time.
For an easy to follow QuickTime movie, view the Troubleshooting & Extras section of the iPod Tutorials atwww.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial.

What to do if iTunes doesn't want to restore my iPhone 4s and is keep showing message that error accrued 36

What to do if iTunes doesn't want to restore my iPhone 4s and is keep showing message that error accrued 36

Go further down on the same screen and look for more information. (I do not remember the exact words) Upon clicking on it a new page opens in Safari for instructions, including opening Terminal under Utilities, etc. Then you will have to add # and a space to one of the lines. Then save and restart the computer. It worked for me. I am sorry I do not remember the exact sequence of these steps. Hope this helps you.

Itunes doesn't want to add a m4a.mp3 audio file

Hi everybody, a friend of mine sent me some university lessons she recorded on her computer. They are m4a.mp3 files and Itunes doesn't want to read them or add them on my Ipod 6th generation. What can I do? Thanks in advance guys!

Hi Caminouflet,
.m4a and .mp3 are two different file formats. If they are actually .m4a files, the .mp3 at the end of the file name may be confusing iTunes as to how they should be played. For more information about file formats in iTunes, you may find the following articles helpful:

My itunes does not want to work downloaded 5 times and still comes up with an error

my itunes does not want to work downloaded 5 times and still comes up how can I fix this ?

I have the same &*@#($@% problem....and I'm ******! I've tried everything. What error message are you getting? I am getting "Itunes folder could not be found or created. The default location is in my music folder". I've downloaded it a million times. It worked at first by going to a specific song and clicking it and/or plugging in my IPOD, but that stopped also.

I can't play wmv files on my mac. I've downloaded Flip4Mac and set as the default player by clicking on a wmv file in Finder and clicking Command I. Nothing is working, Help please.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Try this. Start up Itunes. Click on Home Movies Videos in the movies section. If you have a movie her, right button click and select "Get Info". On the options tab, change the media kind to movie and select OK. Your other movies will slowly start to appear!
