Itunes dropout due to TimeMachine

I have been having some issues with TimeMachine and iTunes on my MBP - i am pretty sure this is not an Airtunes issue.. but sometimes when TimeMachine runs itunes stops playing for a few seconds.. if i turn TM off.. this does not happen.. i am moving ALL my three Airport Express to cable and i have just brought an Airport Extreme to try and get round this.. i will test with wired throughout and with WiFi on both available bandwidths... i get the dropout even when playing to directly connected speakers
can one 'Nice" TM?
Just had another few dropouts... this time with NO wifi connected at all.. gigabit ethernet to TM share on SL server - local hard wired audio and a second send to an Airport over ethernet (only - no wifi turned on).. the moment i turn off TM the dropouts stop... turn it on - they start again... not so happy about that.
Can i script TM backups to come on when machine is NOT being used? kinda defeats the great facility of TM - but if my audio gets messed up the backup can wait.

never tried nicing TM. you can of course do it but I'm quite certain it won't help here. don't know how to script TM running only when the computer is not in use. sounds tricky. you can change TM schedule to run less frequently using TimeMachine Editor.

you can also do it from terminal by altering the TM scheduling launch daemon.

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.

This article explains how to delete content from the device

Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

I purchased an album and it has disappered from my iPod however other purchased items are showing. How can I get the album back? It is not on my computer on the itunes library due to the computer wiping all contents.

My ipod touch lost all its data due to my computer crashing and having to be rebooted.
This resulted in all software being wiped - including iTunes. Therefore, I lost all my music, apps etc on my library on the computer. I then synced my iPod into the computer which then updated the ipod software and then it cleared all my music.
However, I managed to find my music on the purchased list and was able to re download it.
Although, I'm aware that one album did not apper on the purchased playlist - I have an email to prove that I purchased this album however, it is not appearing to allow for me to download it.
I am pretty sure that this is not the only album but due to the amount of music I previously had on my iPod it is difficult to tell what is missing.
Is there anything I can do to get all my previous music back?
Is there anything I can do by contacting Apple to see if they can help?
Would greatly appreciate any help whatsoever! Just about pulling my hair out - due to no available phone calls until next thursday and NO email address to contact!

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

ITunes fails due to lack of Quicktime

A few weeks ago, I had been using iTunes 6 just fine, until I decided to download my first song in a while, and it prompted me to update to iTunes 7. No big deal, I thought. They design these things to be user-friendly. I'll have my song in a few hours.
I downloaded iTunes 7 and Quicktime, installed them as directed, but when I attempted to open iTunes, I got the infamous "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" error message, which asks if I want to report the problem to Windows. Saying no, I tried to open iTunes again, to the same effect. I realized the problem was with Quicktime when a couple other programs I have that rely on it wouldn't open, with the same problem.
I've gone through Apple's support pages, and uninstalled iTunes. But when I go to uninstall Quicktime, it cannot complete the uninstallation due to a "fatal error." I also cannot reinstall, because apparently I have a "newer version" already installed. I've tried downloading the standalone version of Quicktime, but that got a similar "newer version" message.
(I cannot even do a system restore, because apparently while manually deleting files (as Apple instructs in its "uninstall iTunes" help bit), I've deleted something that cannot be restored with System Restore.)
How can I get Quicktime functional again?

I kept a handy little log of what I was doing as I followed your instructions:
I've downloaded the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, found that there was a Quicktime listing, and removed it.
There are no iTunes listings in my add/remove programs list.
When I now try to uninstall Quicktime, I get the message, "Quicktime Streaming Authoring failed to load because the versions of Quicktime Streaming and Quicktime Streaming Authoring do not match," and then "Quicktime Streaming Extras failed to load because the versions of Quicktime Streaming and Quicktime Streaming Extras do not match."
Then the "Installer VISE uninstall application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (The error report indicates a "ModName" of "quicktime.qts")
I freshly downloaded standalone QT and iTunes 7.0.2
I restarted my computer (trying to follow directions on the "Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows" page. (it's worth noting that the little QT shortcut icon has been replaced with a Windows default)
I deleted all the iTunes, iPod, and QT files and folders it wanted deleted.
While emptying the recycle bin I got "Cannot delete Dc25 file" (or something like that) "because it is being used by another program. Please close the program and try again." I closed all programs except for the explorer window showing the recycle bin, but I kept getting the same message, so I skipped the "empty recycle bin" step. ;(
I restarted my computer once more (as per instructions)
QT standalone has been successfully installed (w00t)
I restarted my computer.
iTunes successfully installed. (*major celebration*)
And ... cringes iTunes opened successfully and is currently compiling my Library!! THANK YOU!!
I seriously owe you my life or something. If this wasn't the internet, I would bake you cookies or some such similar pastry. THANK YOU SO MUCH! kowtows

Can't install iTunes 10 due to Bonjour issue

I have been issued new iPhone 4 from my employer. I needed to upgrade the version of itunes - and i can't due to the inability to remove the old version of Bonjour. I have searched the internet and completed numerous suggestions, including deleting and re-installing itunes. Now I don;t have itunes and can't get it to install. I have tried everything.
Is there anyway to "start from scratch"? This has consumed too many hours today and I have hit the total frustration point.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

b noir is probably asleep now as he is in New Zealand.
It is possible that you would get a more precise error message by trying to uninstall bonjour your self, but there are a couple of things that b noir may have been thinking about.
1) the bonjour service can't be stopped. For that you could try disabling it in Services or preventing it from loading with MSConfig.
2)The uninstaller is damaged, for that you need the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility.
Unfortunately The Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been with drawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydidgitallife has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
You may need "Run as Administrator to Run it.
Use it to remove the entry for Bonjour.

Itunes lost due to harddrive wipe

how do I get my account back on my laptop ... I am going round and round in support and cannot find an answer. hardrive wiped due to crash and computer repair. I know my username and password but when I try to download a new itunes it won't recognize those usernames and password says someone else has them ... and there are no other options ... I can't call the help number as I am hearing impaired .... help

Is there anyone else in this forum who can help me other than this punk who is wasting time telling someone they should have done this or that. My question was, I have an account with Itunes, I know my username and password, but I have no hard copy of Itunes as it was lost along with the old harrdrive. How can I get it back. Itunes does not allow you to download a new copy of itunes because if you start to put the info in, including your visa number they say someone else has that account. I just went to itunes, went to my account then store, put in my username and password, but all I get is a means to buy ipods, that sort of stuff. We can all bet on one thing, that I am not the first person this has happened too, but when you go to all the forums, I can not find one incident of a posting regarding the subject

ITunes crashes due to "audioscrobbler". How can I fix this?

I deleted my last.fm plug in, deleted and reinstalled iTunes and restarted my computer but it still doesn't work. It just instantly unexpectedly quits, apparently due to an audioscrobbler plug in that I can't find anywhere on my computer.

TS3212 Error reinstall itunes message due to missing registry items on a Win 7 64bit system and the install is going to C:/program files/.

I have downloaded itunes and run the installation but I keep getting an error message. the request is to reinstall itunes due to missing registry items. The exact message is:
The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I recently lost my itunes files due to a virus on my computer and didn't back them up, is there any way I can redownload them?

So does anyone know if there is anyway that I can redownload my purchases that I lost due to a virus and didnt not back up? This is the first time it has happened to me!

You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
No backup is not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

TS1424 Can't get itunes match due to error message

I recently purchased itunes match however, don't appear to be able to get past stage 1 before an error message appears. It reads-reporting error '4010' or '4002'. It has been going on for 2 days now. I am using iMac OS X version 10.7.4. Can anyone help please?

I just want to say "thank you" for your response to my issue. I have been trying to get my fax working since I realized there was an issue a few weeks ago. I searched for resolutions and tried several which didn't work. I did as you suggested and now have an upgraded E-Fax account in order to send faxes. I have not had the opportunity to send a fax yet but feel there shouldn't be an issue using their website. Again thank you for you help.

How do I swap payments from one account to another. I've managed to block one of my iTunes accounts due to not knowing security questions. However I have 40£ on old iTunes account and now want it on my new account?

I have £40 on my old account but want to put it on my new account. So I don't lose the money. Can't so it very frustrating.

You can't transfer an acocunt's balance to another account.
You might be able to re-enable that account via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
For the security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also use this link i you can't get your account enabled via the above)
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
