Itunes on Macbook error message since Ipad appeared on the scene

After several hours of speaking with Apple Care today, finanlly, I was referred to a supervisor. It took him 5 minutes to tell me what to do. He said I was benefitting from a previous call where they had been searching for the answer for 2 hours. He had me: go to Go, holding down option, library then we went somewhere and deleted something. I was so happy it was fixed, I foolishly did not write down that "something" that we erased in addition to Cache (that one I remember). I remember it was Apple. something, something....dbg ????
Everything was going great tonight and then I decided I needed to synch Ipad with Macbook. Crashed again and now won't stop crashing!
Anyone know what that command might have been that I erased in order to get the Itunes on Ipad & Macbook to speak nice to one another? I know, I'm an idiot for not writing it down!
Thanks,
P.S. I'm also wondering how IPad and Macbook Itunes are going to "Match" since it appears I must re-choose Playlists as they are not imported over as playlists but rather songs that then need to be downloaded.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

TS1368 unable to connect with the apple itunes store. no error message, it just keeps "accessing" the store, and it is never successful. How do I overcome this?

I am unable to connect with the iTunes store. ITunes keeps "accessing", but that can go on for an hour. No error messages. It just never connects. How can I overcome this?

The question for me becomes what motivation do I (Apple's customer) have to download Autoruns from Windows, open a compressed folder, try to determine which Winsock Provider is mine, check for updates and then run whatever it is I need to run to fix this. All these steps just so I can access the Itunes Store and buy from Apple. It would seem that Apple would find a fix on their side so their customers don't have to do this. Is anyone from Apple listening???

I am trying to install itunes 10 but error messages saying could not update the environment variable PATH and CLASSPATH appear. how can i fix this?

this is really frustrating ive been googling for hours trying to find the solution! any help would be greatly appreciated. I have windows 7 and the newest gen ipod nano

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 the 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.

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

Download error message on ipad for all itunes purchases

I am unable to download any of my purchases from itunes, music, movies, and tv shows on my ipad. When I click the download icon and the movie, for example, shows up in the downloads section of itunes with an error message "Download error: tap to retry". I have deleted the download using the swipe left & touching the Delete button. I have triede the multiple tapping of the down arrow, and even had to try an play the movies touching the play icon until the download cloud reappears and then the movie dissappears from the video window. No movie trailers will play either. The window opens up for a split second and that's it.
I have rest the ipad back to new and tried all of the above. Nothing works.I was not having this problem prior to yesterday. I had music, movies and tv shows downloaded prior to the reset.
What is the problem and what is the fix?

Hello donada6240,
That definitely sounds frustrating. We have two potential fixes:
A) The issue may be isolated to your Wi-Fi network. Simply trying again on a different network will give us more insight into where the problem lies.
B) If the issue does not occur on your computer with iTunes, you may be able to download the purchases there, then sync to your iPad.
I highly recommend trying a different good-known network. And if it is indeed isolated to your network, see the following articles:

That error sometimes indicates a hardware problem. See 2nd link below.

Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: You must hold both buttons down together.

Ipad, Error message "Safari could not open the page"

Hi... I am getting the error message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"
I have read the previous replies to this error message and have made sure the Ipad is connected to internet (skype works fine.)
I have also done a hard reset on my Cisco router.
I have Reset Ipad to factory settings twice.
I have Reset network settings five times
I have Powered off and on five times,
turned wifi off and on countless times.
Any idea other ideas? Ipad was bought in US 3 weeks ago. Worked fine at hotel in mexico. I am now in Bolivia. Different countries screwing it up? Could my router be too old? My Mac and iphone work fine on it though, although they are also old and since my macbook refuses to update it runs on OSX 10.5.8
Thanks, your help is immensely appreciated.

Can you connect to the internet using other WiFi networks? Have you even tried outside of your own home WiFi network? Have you tried anything I here yet?
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Occasionally I get this message in Safari but I also can't get online with any browser when I get the message. What I always do - and it always works for me - is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I don't know if closing apps has any real effect or not. Most likely is it the system reset that brings it back to normal behavior.
Due to the fact that you have restored to factory settings twice already, I can't believe that resetting the iPad would do any good at all. But you are getting nowhere anyway, so try it if you like.
In order to close all of your apps, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Help! - itunes - itunesminiplayer .resources error message

please help me!
I've been using itunes or a few years now and have never had any issues. All of a sudden I have started to get this error message when trying to load the program:
"Itunesminiplayer .resourse is not a valid shortcut"
Click OK:
"Installation terminated."
it looks like it is trying to install it from new but it has never been removed from my pc. All of this seems to have happened since I have downloaded the newest versions of ituntes.
I cannot repair/uninstall it either - I get the same message. I have tried to download it directly from apple.com and that doesn't work either. No files have been moved by me.
I don't know what to do next! Please help!
Any suggestions??

No need to apologise, hbos.
With the "not a valid short file name" messages, we should try the following technique first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
[Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301]
Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove". Quit out of CleanUp.
Next, we'll remove any leftover iTunes program files on the PC.
Go "Start > Computer". Open your C Drive (or whatever drive you have your program files installed on). Open "Program files". Right-click on the iTunes folder and select "Delete". Empty your Recycle Bin.
Now restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
