ITunes is saying I have available downloads for stuff I already have downloaded.
A few days ago I backed up about 100 or so apps to iTunes that I had originally downloaded on my iPad (4th Generation, 32GB).
The odd thing is iTunes is saying that I have downloads waiting for those apps. Is there any way to get iTunes to recognize I already have them downloaded so I can get rid of the downloads icon in the top-right of iTunes 11?
I could download them again, but I have a DSL connection and I'd rather not waste my bandwidth on that.
Sounds like it's been awhile since you've last sync'd (sunc? lol) your device with iTunes - and sounds like you've downloaded the updates for these app's on your device already. Once you sync, that number will go away - or you can let them all download...all it will do is ensure the same version is stored in iTunes that is on your phone...same happens to me when I don't sync for awhile and get like 10 updates over 2 weeks on my phone...just plug your phone/ipad/ipod/whatever in, sync it, and that number SHOULD disappear...otherwise, just let iTunes download the newest versions of whatever it's downloading.
Post your success/progress/failure after please

i been using my iphone4 from japan for a month now which my sister gave to me even theres no sim inserted in it, but after downloading ios 6.0.1 i cant activate it even i connect it to itunes, it says i have to insert a sim in it....is there a possible way that i can activate it even theres no sim inserted in it?pls help....
No. All GSM iPhones require a valid sim be in the phone in order to activate. Until you get a valid sim, all you'll be able to do is look at it & make emergency calls.

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email. Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

my itunes is saying that i can download past purchases every 90 days. and I have so many days left what happenned
You changed the Apple id on your itunes. Apple will only allow this to be changed once every 90 days. If it is kept the same there is no restriction

Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. It has been doing this for weeks, and I can't purchase anything! HELP!
Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

ITunes still says I have app updates after updating
I've been trying to find a solution to this for a while. iTunes will tell me I have a certain app for updating. I'll update it and after updating it still says that app needs to be updated. I've tried to delete the problematic app and re-download the app but it still shows it needs to be updated. The only solution I've found is to update the app on my iPhone and let it sync with iTunes to update it on my mac.
Does anyone have the same issue and have a better solution?This solved my problem.... tnx Vadim Tumanov

Hi guys,
I had the same problem that I'v solved doing two things:
- update all applications on the iPhone
- go to iTunes and press File -> Transfer purchases from iPhone
That's it

Hi All! 1st time I have had this problem: Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to. What next? If I keep missing the questions, it is threatening to lock me out of my account. I am sad.
Click here for information. If you can't get the answers emailed to you for some reason, contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

wen i try to install itunes it say i have ti uninstall the old one so i try to uninstall it an it say something about the path
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -
