Itunes on new computer doesn't work
Just setb up a new Imac and Itunes doesn't work. Says it is because it was copied from a previous Itunes. If want to download just do so, but I don't get an option at all.
Hello Myrita
Check to make sure that iTunes is up to date. Alternatively, you could create a new iTunes library and then import the media that is already on the iMac. The articles below will assist you further.

Transfer to new computer doesn't work
I have followed the instructions carefully on 3 occasions. However, I cannot tranfer my son's library onto his new computer. I believe the problem is twofold. First, the ipod is an IPOD Video. When you open the Ipod there is no "tunes" folder. Instead there is a folder labelled "Itunes Music". The instructions in the support thread say to drag the Itunes folder from Itunes to the desktop then drag the Itunes folder from the Ipod to My Music. The name of the file is different is different. I have removed the folders and reloaded Itunes twice. I tried renaming the folder. Nothing works. Any ideas?
Compaq R3000 Windows XP ProDo it the easy way, download the program Yamipod to the new computer, and use that to take the songs from the iPod to the computer.

Can't access iTunes Store: New Safari doesn't work on my version of Mac!
Hey guys.
I'm a new owner of an iPhone, and i was just planning to purchase an app. I opened the itunes store tab on my iTunes... i have to download the newest version of Safari.
Okay. So i went and did that on the Mac Download site. I selected the Leopard option. Open up...
Halfway through the installation process, it tells me that my Version is doesn't work. It only works on Mac OS X 10. 5.8 ?!
What i am doing wrong?Update your OSX to 10.5.8. It is free to update. It is suggested that you d/l the 'combo' update. This will make sure all required files are installed with the update.
Once that is done you should be able to install the version of Safari that you have d/l.

When I connect my iPod touch it tells me that I need a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and to uninstall iTunes and then re-install it, I've done that twice with the newest version of iTunes and it still doesn't work?
Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -
I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

What if sync with new computer does not work?
logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
New is Windows7 with 64bit versionSyncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive. I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?
Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.

Moving Data from iPod to iTunes on new computer
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a new computer and I am trying to upload the songs from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer. I do not have the old computer to transfer from the old iTunes to the new iTunes. Is it possible to use the iPod to transfer the song files?
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player. -
New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN
All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...? I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

iphone wont recognize in itunes. it's got the latest software update and the latest version of itunes on the computer. the phone works as normal but i want to restore it but can't because i can only get the the recovery mode stage and then it needs itunes???
Follow this very helpful user tip by wjosten:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer
moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over. the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer. For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB. and, playlists have disapeared. any ideas?
See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.

I've tried every step I found on forums but with nou luck

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you should investigate more harsh remedies...WIPE, OS Reload, OS Update, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "Bare Bones" diagnostic reload process, etc.
Good luck and let us know!

ipod Touch 5th generation. I changed the original passcode and then forgot, so it says 'iPod is disabled'. It hadn't been synced with iTunes, so I switched it off, held home button, connected to Mac, did restore on iTunes twice but it doesn't work. Help!
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
