Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1. I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.). Nothing works. At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing. Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

Hi 3backpacker3,
It sounds like you are on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are having launch issues, you may find the following article helpful:

Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free?

Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free? Of course my Apple Care warranty expired months ago, and this just happened. I've been looking online for solutions. But am wondering if anybody has heard if Apple is going to take care of this, or what others are doing to get Apple to repair this problem without having to pay $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is an old post but just in case it helps. They ARE fixing certain macs for free!

Trackpad jumpy. Not able to use MacBook. Has anyone heard from Apple on this pervasive issue?

My late 2008 13" MacBook (Snow Leopard) has become so erratic that it is almost impossible to use. (Using another MacBook now).
Hard to believe it is not an OS or update issue since it appears to be very pervasive. Anyone heard from Apple??
Any fix other than 3-prong plugs and dusty corners? (Wipe the trackpad many time and the apple power cord is already 3-prong).

Some users have reported issues with battery expansion causing problems with their trackpads. Try removing the battery and testing the MacBook while using just the power cord. If this works, replace the battery.
Best of luck.

Desperately trying to download iTunes 11.1 and have tried every suggestion I've come across in the discussions. NOTHING works! HELP!

I'm desperately trying to download iTunes 11.1. I have tried every single suggestion and link suggested in the discussions. My Mac tells me I need it for my iPhone with IOS 7, to connect it. I check for updates, then it checks, then says it's up to date but it isn't!! Still got the old iTunes! Have tried the download in www.itunes.com, I press download and 2 seconds later it says thankyou, but there's nothing there! Have tried from another link and try to open it and it says it's not recognized. I think I'm going to go insane. I have been trying iTunes contact but I can't get hold of them! Does anyone know what I can do? I'm technologically challenged so I only know the basics and have NEVER had a problem with updates, downloads etc, ever!!! HELP

I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

Itunes will not run after update. Windows 8.1

I have windows 8.1 and just downloaded the latest update. The icon has disappeared from the desktop and the program will not run. Can I uninstall and reinstall without losing my library? Please help. Can't live without my music!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
Anyways, thanks for any help !

Wow, easy there company boy!
I've heard all of what you spit up before. And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play. (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"." Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

Woke up to OS X Utilities window with 4 options. Tried repairing discs, and ended up re-installing the OS and now everything is gone. Please help.

Woke up to OS X Utilities window up on my screen with 4 options. One was backup from Time Machine, another was to re-install the OS, the third was to open Safari for help, and the last was to repair discs. I tried repairing all of the discs including the two external hard drives I had attached and it said that they were all good. Then I proceeded to re-install the OS, but it would only allow me to install Mavericks and I had already upgraded to Yosemite. I tried restarting with a safe boot and it got stuck half way for more than an hour, so I just did a hard restart. Without a recent Time Machine backup, I decided to try re-installing the OS. The funny thing is that it would only let me install it on my external HD and not the internal HD - and there was a message saying that a newer OS was on the internal HD and so it could not be installed there. So after it was installed, it started up like it was a brand new mac - asking me for my apple ID, wifi, etc. And now I have nothing on the computer - no programs, files, anything. And the Macintosh HD showed up in the finder, but it ejected itself and is no longer viewable. Any ideas on how I can get this back to normal??? I am pretty desperate at this point.

Thanks! My trackpad has been broken for a while and physical clicks no longer work, only taps. I plugged in a mouse and it worked.
Doesn't seem like good design to me.

Itunes no longer available after update on pc?

I just tried playing a cd in iTunes and that worked fine ??

After updating to ios 6, my ipod touch won't access some of my music. The music is gray colored and unclickable. Please help!!

A couple months ago I updated my iPod touch to the most recent ios (6.1.3). Now, my music works normally except for one thing: some of it is gray colored and unplayable. I have one album of music that I actually bought on my iPod and only one song in it is playable. I also have some music that I bought on my computer and synced into my iPod and only choice music of that collection is playable. Then I have four of five tangible albums that I bought and downloaded onto my computer and then synced to my iPod. It's just so weird how only some choice songs or albums are unplayable, but a lot of it is of some of my favorites artists, so I really hope this can be fixed! Thanks!

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

******* me off i tried to delete a song off of my iPhone, but it just won't delete. I have tried every thing except throwing it out of the window, cause I'm so ****** off. I hate you apple for making this so difficult.

I've tried everything that I have read, but to no avail. the song keeps comming up, it is a purchased song, maybe this has someting to do with why I can not delete it?

What version of IOS are you running?
To delete a song simply swipe from right to left and an option to delete will pop up.

ITunes not starting up after update, errors showing

I recently received an updated iTunes and I'm getting two errors from previous issues.
I have tried every single step with uninstalling, then reinstalling the program. As well as removing a previous issue that has happened before to no avail.
Can this issue be fixed with the updates?
I'm on Windows XP without a iPod Touch

ok THANKS so much!!
it now works!!
First I removed iTunes.app from my system using these instructions: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/
Next I opened the App Store and it showed me iTunes under "Updates".
I reinstalled iTunes via the App Store and now I can launch iTunes as expected.
Because I didn't delete the iTunes folder inside my user's folder, all my content remained.
thanks to you :

Has anyone heard about updating my brand new mac to a Intel mac?

Imagine my dismay when two weeks after buying a new mac, they introduce the intel chil and Ilife 6! Has anyone heard of Apple upgrading us poor saps?

Well, I had gotten an iMac G5 just after Christmas, and it was still under the 14-day return policy, so I exchanged it for a new one.
However, it is extremely unlikely that they will replace yours if you've had it for more than 2 weeks.
Sorry...
