ITunes keeps asking if I want to replace app with one I'm moving
Every time I open iTunes (or do anything with my apps) it keeps telling me a newer version of an app already exists in my library and am I sure I want to replace it with the one I'm moving. Only, I don't think I'm moving any apps, and no matter what I choose it keeps asking every time I open iTunes, and goes through at least half my apps every time.
I've tried updating the apps, updating iTunes, but nothing seems to work.
Ok I had this problem earlier due to me attempting to move my iTunes library from one computer to a newer one. If that is what you did before receiving the message then you must go into the iTunes folder on your computer, it should be under music in your computer. After that go to iTunes media and find the Mobile applications folder it should be empty, Open another folder and go to Tunes media then look for the folder titled "Automatically add to Tunes" find the mobile applications folder in their ( Should have a iTunes media folder within that folder and the mobile applications is located in their) The apps in this folder are being continuously re added to your media so simply copy all of the apps here and move it to the first mobile applications folder.
However if you switching to a new computer is not the case then you could always also delete all the apps within the original mobile applications folder like how it is stated in this discussion.
A newer version of the app '...' already exists...

Ideas?no apple store replaced. they said there were 3 apple programs that kept crashing in background, which ran battery down cause they kept trying to re-load.
they backed up phone to cloud, wiped out old software and replaced new software & new battery. since then won't sync with itunes on computer. -
Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?
When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?
I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning. -
I have tried to download iOS7 but the iTunes keep asking me to upgrade iTunes version 11.5 and my one is 11.5 so when I clicked it says no update available. Could you please help me? many thanks.
Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions. they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc. don't know why it won't let me download
Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this... -
I tried to buy an app and itunes keeps asking for a security code. What is a security code? I only have a password! And ID
Are you using a credit card?

The credit card security code is a unique three or four digit number printed on the front (American Express) or back (Visa/MasterCard) of your card. -
How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks). -
I am a new itunes user. I have exsisting songs on my computer prior to instaling itunes. When i installed Itunes it asked if i wanted it to search fro media and i had it import all my songs into itunes. These songs will not play in the itunes player but continue to play in the windows media player. They do seem to play in Itunes but there is no sound. Any ideas?

I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday..... In addtion, those are the only options I have. I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two. Zero options. Phone works fine though.
I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
In a word, no.
If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule. -
ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset. is there anything i can do to fix this or am i screwed?
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

i have followed the suggested methods of restoring my iphone by placing it into recovory mode, however itunes keeps asking for a response from my iphone except it is disabled and thus the restoration willnot continue
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

ITunes keeps asking my security questions on every purchase
iTunes keeps asking my security questions on every purchase. I forget the message, but it said someting about this being my first time dowloading. I know the answers, so I enter them and proceed to download my purchase. But next time I make a purchase I have to answer them again. I only noticed this after reinstalling iTunes after updating windows 8 to windows 8.1

My account has a credit balance but iTunes keeps asking for a update for credit card
If you don't have a balance the option for none should show up. If it does not or it gives you the message that there was billing issue with a previous purchase you will have to satisify the balance with either a credit or debit card attached to a bank account. Certain prepaid cards will not work if not attached to bank account with routing number.
