ITunes Plus Not Allowing Upgrade
I bought a lot of pre-iTunes Plus tunes in days gone by. To upgrade them to iTunes Plus so as to get the better quality, I have to pay 30 cents on top of the 99 cents I've already paid, even though new customers get the exact same thing for 99 cents total--standard Apple ripoff, but that's not what I'm posting about. The iTunes Store has a list of tunes I've bought that haven't been upgraded to iTunes Plus, which it would be happy to let me upgrade. However, there are a couple of dozen tunes I have in my library that don't show up on that list, even though they are available for sale in the iTunes Store right now. So, now I don't even get to be ripped off! Is there any way to get those tunes, short of going to Amazon and buying them there?
I also had this issue and still have many songs that are in the store as iTunes Plus but don't show up in my upgrade list (which has gone missing since 9.0, but that's another matter). At first customer service was working with me and I was able to get many of the missing songs, but then some directive must come down from Apple that stopped customer service from helping folks out with this issue. I could no longer contact the reps that helped me before and at first when I tried I got a message from someone superior to them saying I should basically wait. Further attempts to contact anyone in customer service about the matter were met with silence. It's been months and I eventually gave up. Good look, but don't expect much help from Apple.

ITunes Plus not allowing upgrades yet?
None of the songs or albums I've purchased are allowing me to upgrade yet.
As an example: I pre-ordered and downloaded "Pocket Symphony" by AIR last month. When I visit its iTunes page, it's flagged as "iTunes Plus". However, its songs all cost .99USD and don't have the 'plus' icon, and there's nothing on the page allowing me to upgrade my existing album to the iTunes Plus version.
How do I upgrade my songs?After my message a few minutes ago, I bought one track in Plus format (Paul McCartney's Band on the Run, of course). After the song downloaded and i started playing it for the first time, I again clicked on the iTunes Plus page link and now the page is topped with an upgrade your library button and a listing of albums and tracks that can be updated. It looks like Plus content is slowly coming on board as only a handful of songs could be updated.
In fact, the iTunes Plus page now says all my music is up to date but adds: Check back often as iTunes Plus music is continually being added. -
Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?
Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard -
Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?
Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer. Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files. They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source. The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
On your computer, search for one of the songs. All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest. When you find it, note the directory and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
Ibarra.
Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file. I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
Second side effect, if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play. -
Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?
Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?
Have a similar issue. Have iphone 4 running ios7. itunes 11.1.3.8. Probably is intermittent (once every 2 weeks?) and persistent. Syncs fine for days. Then all at once playlists are not updated. For example; over the holidays I added some holiday songs to a playlist. Today I removed the holiday songs from the playlist in itunes. Sync the phone. All messages indicate sync is successful. Songs still in playlist on the phone! Continues to happen over multiple syncs. In the past I have had some songs update but not all songs. This cycle of attempting syncing continues until other songs on the iphone 'disappear' (they are listed in playlists but don't play!). Don't know the cause but it is very annoying and unpredictable. Eventually taking all music off the iphone and then adding it back works but even this take multiple iterations. These issues seem to have started after upgrading to ios7. I have workarounds that are very timeconsuming. I'm interested in solutions to the root cause. Can anyone help?

How do you delete songs from Itunes? I have many that show up as many as 7 times and itunes will not allow me to remove them.
I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

New iTunes will not allow me to manually sync music to Iphone 4s
I had to change my computer's hard disk which is a mac, I updated itunes as I had done before with my other hard disk, but now my itunes will not allow me to manage anything in my iphone 4s. I cannot manually sync music to my iphone as I used to, not even the option "ADD TO" appears when you click on the "On this phone" tab. I was wondering what I have to do for my itunes to recognize that it is my phone.
It gets stuck at preparing to update every time I try.

I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?
Were the photos taken by your new iPhone? If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore? If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide. -
The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.
Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

Itunes will not allow me to change the installation drive...
I have a PC with a hard drive that previously was partitioned into C: and D: segments. I have since removed the D: partition. itunes thinks it is still installed on the D: segment and keeps trying to perform downloaded updates there. My current D: drive is now a DVD ROM. When trying to install itunes updates, it will not allow me to change the destination. When I try to change it, I get the message "The volume D: is currently unavailable. Please select another." Then it gives me the "Finish" screen and doesn't allow me the option of changing the drive. SO... I tried uninstalling itunes. itunes will not allow me to uninstall it either. Please help.
Even though you're getting a slightly different error message, I'd try the following user tip:
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors -
I need to change my country and itunes does not allow me because I have 0.20 left to spend. I can't purchase any more credit because I'm not in the US any more and Itunes just accept those. I need help!

Why is iTunes Store not allowing me to report problems w/ one of my downloads?
Am using Internet Explorer v11.0.9600.16428 On Windows 7 PRO w/ iTunes v11.3.1.8. As far as I know, these are the latest versions of both those programs.
Why is iTunes Store not allowing me to report problems w/ one of my downloads?Clyde --
I don't have a problem viewing my purchase history. I have a problem getting support pages to work. Every time I go to get support, ie: reporting a problem with a downloaded song, my Internet Explorer 11 displays a message from the iTunes website that says I much have the latest version of Mozila, Firefox or Internet Explorer to use the support pages. Having met these requirements, why no can use support pages? -
