ITunes flaking out. Had to trash it. Help!
Lifetime PC user, bought an iMac a couple weeks ago and I'm having problems that are getting progressively worse. The latest is a problem with iTunes. iTunes worked just great until a couple days ago. I'd logged into iTunes store and bought music, listened to music, everything was great.
I tuned into an iTunes internet radio station and after a few minutes turned off my computer with iTunes open and the internet radio station playing. When I turned it back on, iTunes was gone. I tried to start it but couldn't get it to open. I tried to do a "Force Quit" but that didn't work either. Started the Activity Monitor. iTunes was "program not responding" in red. Tried to do a force quit from there. No response. Did a "quit" on the iTunes Helper and both iTunes and the iTunes helper quit.
Did this several times. Decided to trash iTunes and download a fresh copy. iTunes 7.1.1 downloaded just fine, installed just fine but no iTunes logo anywhere. Repeated this several times, no luck.
I'm out of ideas, can you help me out?
Your new Mac comes with 90 day of free AppleCare Phone Support. I would call them and let them know what's going on.

Itunes closes out before download..please help
I just received an iPod as a gift. I am trying to use it for the first time. I go to the indicated website from the instructions and when I click on the download iTunes for free icon my entire browser closes out. I am working with Windows XP...any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Windows XPWhen you say "download", do you mean that you cannot get the iTunes installer copied from the Apple web site successfully? Or do you mean that you have the installer on your computer but that after running it, it gets part-way through but then fails?

So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?
What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often. -

i cannot get my phone out of recovery mode, when I tried to restore on itune it gives me error 1608. please help me
While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did. Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone.
It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones. You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists. -

there isno iphoto in my applications folder
Then you'll have to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally. -
Was updating my ipod touch and it was all going ok until the white apple with the bar came up and then itunes crashed out, it is still on with the white apple and i cant turn it off please help me this has been like this for 30 minutes
Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -
I deleted (to Trash) a segment of "raw footage" from an iMovie project that I did not want to delete.
I was able to retreive it from the Trash and move it to Finder, but I cannot figure out how to move it back to iMovie.
How do I do this (restore the video segment to the start of the project)?
Or, do I have to load the original video again from the camera?@ "Afterimages":
Well, yes, I suppose I could re-import the video. (LIkely ALL of it, dammit!)
So, unless I'm mistaken that would be the "long way" to resolving this issue.
I was able the take the deleted video out of the Trash and now it's in Finder. Why can't I simply re-insert it into iMovie where it orginally was? That would be the simple solution, just "click and drag", or something like that, correct? Maybe that's impossible? (In which case, I must ask, "Wouldn't the creators of iMovie have considered this "boo-boo" and done something to remedy it easily?" I doubt I'm the first vidiot to do this...
