ITunes preferences won't save. Please help new user.
If anyone can help me with this I'd be so grateful. I've looked through the other advice I can find on this forum, and on other sites, and have tried the solutions I've found suggested, but nothing's worked so far.
I've tried deleting the preferences files and rebuilding them several times. I've tried reinstalling iTunes several times, too. I've also tried launching iTunes from a different user account, created for the purpose. But I can't get my preferences to save. If I can't set iTunes up the way I'd like it, this could reverse my decision to buy an iPod. I'm not great with computers, and it's driving me to distraction. Any and all advice v gratefully received !
Thanks for the reply!!!
The instructions I used were off this Apple Support site...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
I get both options to choose as well as create. I used choose when I did mine and it worked.
I did copy her entire itunes library.
This is exactly what is in the folder that I copied...
(folders)
Automatically add to itunes
Downloads
Mobile Applications
Movies
Music
Ringtones
Voice Memos
(XML Document)
Library
I do not see a .itl file anywhere.
I just looked on my file I copied that worked on my user name and I have (3) Itunes Database Files on it.
Thanks so much for the help!!!

Itunes library won't transfer, please help.
Just bought a new PC and I am setting up two users. I followed the instructions for transferring my Itunes library via my external HD. It let me transfer mine (I am the admin) but when I follow the exact same procedure for my wife's user account it wont let me. I can hold down shift and see the library I copied to her music folder but it never lets me "Choose Library". It just opens the folder all the way down to a specific song. Any help would be great. I've been searching for hours. Thanks!

I've got itunes and my new ipod mini up just fine and my computer (windows based) recognizes the ipod mini & says it's updating it, however when it shows on the itunes screen, all of the songs are grayed out and none are showing on my ipod mini at all. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this? Thanks so much!
Princess,
If you've selected the iPod in the source listing in iTunes, the songs will be greyed out because you have automatic transfer selected for your iPod. That's normal.
So, you're saying when you disconnect the iPod and look in the main menu, there are no songs there?
Then look at this.

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).

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.

There is no free download to 10.5? I was able to download a 10.5.1 but that wasn't helpful since it required a 10.5 to be downloaded first. Any suggestions?
As provided twice.
You MUST buy the upgrade.
It is never free to update to a new OS. -
A video I paid will not download. I keep getting download error. I have an iPad2 and I have downloaded other movies since buying the one that won't. Please help.
I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

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? -
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.
