ITunes (downloaded today) corrupt?

I have been trying to add some music for the last 4 hours. It's not working. I "upgraded" to the latest iTunes version this morning, before importing (supposedly) the CD. It seems to have worked for one of my devices. But when I was trying to sync another device, it said the version of iTunes was corrupt. So I uninstalled it, and downloaded the new one directly from the apple website. It said it was the wrong one and I needed the 64-bit one (I never had that error before). So I got the 64 bit one and downloaded it. Now it says it can't read my library because it was created by the newer version. HOW THE HECK COULD THE NEWER VERSION WORK BEFORE AND NOW IT SAYS IT NEEDS THE 64 BIT ONE n(which is 10.7 and the newer one is 11 I think)?? what is going on here? I'm really frustrated. All I want is to add this new music to my old phone, which I use as an iPod and not a phone. The really strange thing is that it added the album to my new phone, using the "new" (downloaded this morning) version of Itunes, which will no longer work on my laptop. I've removed iTunes altogether from my laptop now. How can I get the version that apparently was FINE this morning, back????????

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although for small numbers of files doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .epub .pdf
Note the last 7 types won't be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?

I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.

ITunes downloads corrupt version of songs I download on my iPhone.

Any file I download through my iPhone redownloads on iTunes as a corrupt file.
Example:
I bought a Jessie J song on my Phone it plays fine.
I started iTunes at a later time and it saw I had an avalible download of the song.
It downloads the corrupt file that will play for 30 seconds then skip to the next song.
I right click for it to show the file in Explorer and takes me to the path: C:\Users\(Username)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\Domino _ Domino - Single _ Jessie J.tmp then the corrupt file is in that folder as "download"
I thought if I moved that file to my desktop I could redownload it by "Check for Avalible downloads" or by transfering purchases manually from my phone. Both to no avail.
How can I fix this?
Will every song I buy on my iPhone be redownload on iTunes as corrupt?

I have hundreds of songs that reside on my iPhone 4. When I upgraded to an iPhone 5S, only 75 songs loaded (those bought from iTunes). What happened to the rest of my songs which all came fro CDs I had purchased and downloaded to my phone???
They are still in iTunes on your computer..
unless you deleted them.
When I upgraded to an iPhone 5S,
When you first started up your iPhone 5S, did you Restore from backup and select the iPhone 4 backup?
This will put all the info that was on the iPhone 4, onto the iPhone 5S.

The screen is frozen on the "connect to iTunes" symbol. When I connect to iTunes it says I must restore, when I try to restore it says the download was corrupted and cant be completed. Tried several times.

The screen is frozen on the "connect to iTines" symbol. When I connect to Itunes it tells me to restore. Then it tells me that the download was corrupted.
Still frozen on the "connect to iTunes.

Have you tried on another computer?
You can try putting the ipad into DFU mode.

I need help with corrupted file iTunes download

Itunes helper is corrupt...can't update itunes!!!

Using the dreaded Vista, I have now tried to uninstall and reinstall the newest version of Itunes. My itunes/helper/resouces folder claims to be corrupt. When I try to empty all Itunes folders to start from scratch, I can't get rid of ituneshelper/resources. The folder says it has 0K in it, but I get error message 0x80070091 "directory not empty". Now I can't complete the itunes download, therefore, my older version is gone and I now have NO itunes! I also get an error message when trying to install the new 7.3, "there is an error with your installer" and it doesn't complete the download process. This is HORRIBLY frustrating..especially since when I got my new laptop back in March, everything worked fine...I don't know what starting jacking everything up...now I can't upload my ipod, and as of today my itunes is GONE! Help!

For everyone having this problem, the itunes store horizontal scroll bar missing, please report it to Apple
itunes menu > help >provide itunes feedback
I sent mine in, with the URL to this thread:

A somewhat workaround is to click on the words "Itunes Store" twice pretty quickly, so itunes opens a 2nd screen for the store. Then at least it is big enough to see the free download buttons for this week's free downloads!

Problem with itunes update. I am running OSX v 10.4.11 and can't get itunes to update. I had itunes 9.1.1 and when I tried ask it to update it said there was no update. sent old itunes to trash and now apple site itunes download is not working. help...

From Apple website when I go to itunes update to 10.3 I am not seeing the left column to download itunes 10.3. Does anyone else have this problem? I tried yesterday as well. Today, I threw my itunes 9.1.1 in the trash and emptied it... and then rebooted. What am I doing wrong?

What operating system are you running? I doubt it's an iPhone OS on a Mac Mini, but if you meant to choose 10.4 then you're out of luck. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ At the bottom of the left hand column on this page, you'll see it requires OS X 10.5 or higher.

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

I got an Itunes card and when I loaded it itunes downloaded an album that I did not order; so my question is how did this happen and how do I find out how much this album costs cause I would like to get my money back.

My wife got me an iTunes card today and as soon as I redeemed it a music album that I did not order downloaded and deducted the cost from my iTunes card. I did this happen and how can I get my money back? I do not listen to the type of music that was downloaded and feel like I was robbed in a way cause the only way things are suppose to download is if I click on them and enter my password. Please let me know if there is anything I can do and am I the only person this has happened to?
Thank you

Thank you Niel,
My wife loaded her ITunes card right after I loaded mine and the album did not and still has not loaded onto her phone so we think it could be in my settings we are going to check into that but I did have money removed my account so thank you for the link to the form.

Download appears corrupt - installing to Windows XP and Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I have tried to install Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign onto 1 Windows XP computer and 2 Windows 7 computers and in every instance I have received the message "download appears corrupt. U43M1D207 error. I have combed the FAQ's and a lot of other mostly MAC users are receiving the same errors.
I have downloaded the Creative Suite cleaner and have used it multiple times on all the computers with the same failure over and over again.
I have also gone to Adobe Downloads and ran the patched Adobe Application Manager and still no luck.
In one FAQ a tech tells people to go to the trial versions and download those and then sign in and the subscription will appear. On 3 of the computers this worked, but on the third computer I started today, the subscription box never showed up even though I logged on with the employee's cloud subscription ID. I downloaded three of the applications only to have to go back and un-install the applications because it asked to either run in trial or supply a serial number.
On my fourth computer running Windows XP I downloaded Photoshop extended just fine and Illustrator, but there's no selection for InDesign, so I can't download it.
Last night I sat on a chat session for 30 minutes only to find out that there were no tech's on duty only customer support and she said that I would need to call in on Mon-Fri. I can't wait until Mon-Fri as I need to do this off hours.
I'm at the end of my rope with aggravation and I have 7 more computers to go and they are scattered around the USA.
If anyone has any idea what may fix my dilemma I would surely appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
Update: After getting away from the problem for awhile, I decided to clear the cache on both problem computers, run CCleaner and reboot. I then went back to the Trial Download page and everything worked perfectly. I could see InDesign on the Windows XP computer and on the Windows 7 computer the subscription box appeared. I had my answer and everything appears to work properly now.
I still don't understand why downloading from the Cloud site doesn't work especially since many of the problems I have been reading about in other threads were started back in May, 2012.
Also I don't understand why when so many techs like myself have to work after hours and on weekends there are no Adobe techs on the chat line. My company spent a lot of money on the new subscription and will continue to do so in the future and all I can find is work arounds instead of the Cloud download site actually being repaired.

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?

Hi all,
I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
Thanks in advance!

ITunes video purchases corrupting my ITunes Library

Got a season pass for this season of "Mad Men" - but thus far two of the downloads have corrupted my LIbrary and seem to be lost for good (along with the other episodes that were in the Library).
In both instances, when ITunes crashed, this alert message came up on the screen: +"The file "iTunes Library" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)"."+ - but when I look for these supposed files on my computer they are nowhere to be found.
Now - I am pretty new to the ITunes store - I've imported some music from other sources over the years and never had this kind of problem so am wondering: do people just EXPECT Itunes to crash and so back things up a LOT? My computer is pretty old and does not have that much storage space - do I have to back up each one of these TV episodes from ITunes just to be sure I'm not going to have to re-purchase them from the ITunes store?
Do people have any other suggestions about keeping these videos from corrupting my Library files?

Fortunately for me, the folks at ITunes restored the lost episodes to me - but I would still like to know if anyone has any words of wisdom about what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future.
