ITunes resyncs movies every time iPad is connected
Every time I connect either of my children's iPad minis, iTunes syncs them. Which is fine, except that within the past week, it has started to delete, and resync every single movie or tv show they already have loaded. Which obviously takes forever. Is there anyway to stop this? It just started recently; prior to this, it would just sync anything that had been added or changed. And no, we have not updated to the newest OS yet.
Thanks!
only changes or new pictures are sync'ed when connected. it does show that it checks, but with no changes the check takes just a few seconds.

Why does iTunes resync audiobooks every time?
Hi guys,
I got a problem syncing my iPhone my iTunes...
Since I updated to iOS 5 iTunes is sending my audiobooks to the iPhone every time I sync them... Sending a 4GB file to the iPhone is quite annoying and I'm pretty sure that before the update iTunes was not behaving like this...
Any suggestion? Anyone has the same problem?Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this) -

iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals. So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.

I am unable to access my iTunes store through my iTunes account. Every time I have tried it gives me an error ' cannot, connect to iTunes'
check to see if you are online
check to see if you can access secured websites (https) on your computer / device
if this is on a computer with windows configuring your antivirus / firewall to not block itunes some times will help, also resetting your tcp/ip might fix it (open command prompt as an administrator, type: "netsh reset winsock" hit enter, restart computer -

Hello there, Staver13.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some assistance in troubleshooting your issue:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Particularly:
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My itunes u crashes every time i try to switch to the library.
My itunes u crashes every time i try to switch to the library. It automatically opens one course everytime i go in, but when i try to flick back to the library page it crashes. This has only been since i upgraded my ipad mini to the new operating system. If i uninstall the app and reinstall will i lose my entire library of courses?
Mine too. In fact, after 4 years my iMac is acting very strange. It is acting like a virus on a PC. Everything I read says that is not possible. Wish I knew what to do.

can not get connected to my wifi, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

ITunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store
iTunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store. Windows 7 Pro, 64bit. Support document ht1923 wasn't helping :-(. Is it possible to make a downgrade?

I recently updated ibook in my Itunes. Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.
Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:

Need to enter WPA key every time i re-connect?
I have a small network of one wired PC, one wireless PC and a wireless laptop. I messed something up while trying to add our new itouch to the network and now, the laptop is asking for the WPA key every time it re-connects. As of right now, the wired PC is also the only one getting on the internet. We are using the WRT54G v.4, running windows XP on all three computers and i'm about to throw them all out the window. Please help. By the way, the laptop has a different IP address then the other computers...is this a problem too? Thanks in advance.
All the computers on your network should have different IP addresses, but they should all be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x . If your computer fails to connect, it may show a 169.254.xxx.xxx address. This address simply means you failed to connect. It comes from Windows, not the router.
First, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the non-working computers, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps you make a connection.
To fix the recurrent WPA key entry problem:
In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router. If you still have trouble, make sure your computer's software firewall is off.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Also, please note that WPA = "WPA with TKIP", and WPA2 = "WPA with AES".
If you are using WPA2, then note that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
If you need more help, please state the computer software firewall that you are using. -

I updated my itunes and now every time i try to play a song 'internal error' shows up and itunes quits. Please help me....
Hi Dance4Life85!
I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes, according to the instructions in this article:
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11201
To reinstall iTunes, download it from the Apple Downloads website.
Apple Downloads website
Note that all you will need to do is download iTunes and install it again, it will install over the version that is on your computer right now without issue. If your issue persists, you may want to see this article about troubleshooting third-party plugins for iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
Lastly, if neither of these resolve the issue, then you may need to recreate your iTunes library. More information on this can be found here:
