Itunes locked up (i think) - please help
Hey i just got my Ipod for christmas and i need some help with this. I have 45 dollars worth of itunes cards and I went to download Lost (the first episode) and about a quarter of the way through the download it stopped and it paused the dowload. How do i resume it? Do i have to repurchase it?
Well I can't give you a for-sure on that, but when downloads used to stall through my dial-up connection, I did used to re-boot as a pretty normal course of events. It was a sloow connection, so I'd usually launch the downloading once a day. If it stalled, I'd just try it again the next day.

ITunes locking up after sync,,,Please Help !!!
Hi All-
I have recently switched my iTunes from my desktop to my laptop and i used the "shared" feature to transfer my podcasts from my desktop to my pc via the wireless network in my house. Since doing so.
I try to sync the iPod and what i get is the 3 steps to sync, it idintifies the iPod, backs up the iPod and then sync the iPod. nothing transfers with the 3rd (syncing) step.
My problem happens when I try to click on the podcasts tab along the top of the screen. I wish to select that my podcasts be able to sync, but when I click the podcast icon, the whole program freezes up, and does not respond.
I have tried the following,,,,
Re-Installed iTunes, Shut off the pc and re start and re run iTunes and tried to sync again,,,but nothing works,
Please help me and let me know what mght help me get past this so I can select the items I wish to have sync with the iPod.
Thanks for your time and feel free to ask questions if you need further informsation.
Sincerely- DougWhy are you introducing issues instead of simply syncing to your desktop?
Turning on home sharing in iTunes does not copy media to other computers.
The media still resides on the system sharing the media, in your case that is your desk top.
Either sync with your desktop or on your laptop subscribe to the podcasts so that their files reside ON your laptop. -
ITunes Locked On iPod Screen PLEASE HELP!
Okay, so I recently bought a new computer, and I downloaded all of my iTunes software onto the new one. My other computer doesn't even turn on anymore, so I can't access it at all to back up my files. I have 85 songs on my iPod. (It's a nano, if that makes a difference.) When I plug my iPod into my computer, it charges fine, and it says Do Not Disconnect for a while, but nothing updates. iTunes does recognize it, but when I click on it in the side bar in iTunes, all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them. Then at the small bar on the bottom which tells you how much space is taken up on your iPod, it has a little lock next to it. I am assuming my iPod is locked. The hold button is NOT on. I tried resetting it, by just switching the hold button, and holding the menu and select button, and it reset, but it doesn't work. I had my friend plug in HER nano, and all her music is normal and it is not locked. (There isn't a lock symbol near the memory bar at the bottom.) I think I may have locked it by accident and I don't know how to unlock it!! All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer.
PLLLLLEASE HELP! I WANT IT TO WORK!"all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
"All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer."
In manual mode you will be able to drag and add songs to your iPod. However you can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. -

I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!, I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!
You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org -
I have windows 7 and every time I try to play or add a song. It says itunes has stopped working. Please help this is frustrating.
a further message box states that Data Execution Prevention has closed the program.
Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes? -
Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

Trying to reset/restore my daughters ipod, but no matter what advice I get, nothing works. There is no summary tab on itunes to restore/reset. PLEASE HELP!
Without knowing current status of the iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I upgraded to iOS 7 yesterday on my iphone and now none of my apps shows me any new message and when i open the apps it says "Connect to itunes for push notifications". Please help!!!
Same here. I don't know how to solve the problem, but I figured out a way to close the app without re-starting or resetting the phone. If you click ok and then press the home button twice really fast before the dialog box shows back up, you can put the phone in multi-tasking mode and close the app without having the shut the phone off or reset it. Anxiously awaiting the fix for this since I have several apps I use that I can access at the moment.
