ITunes Safari 4.0.3 Alert is INCORRECT!!!

I am running Lion 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2 and iTunes 10.5.2, and all of a sudden I'm getting an alert that reads:
"iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari." 
It keeps popping up, and up and up and UP!!!!
It's not allowing me to access the iTunes store.  This is driving me CRAZY!!!

THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED!!!
Here's the short version:  I called Apple Care and because of the nature of the issue, I did not have to pay for support and they moved me up the chain to a senior tech advisor.  This issue had them all stumped, but they realized that it was not user error and that it was some type of system wide issue.  We tried MANY fixes, but nothing worked.  It was decided that I would have to complete an archive and install, or in OS X Lion's case, just an install.
There are two ways this can be done:
(1) Boot from the revovery partition installed by Lion 10.7 on your hard drive, OR...
(2) Use the OS X Lion USB Install thumb drive avaibale from Apple.
For some reason, we could not get the revovery partition to reboot (I couldn't even see it as a choice), so I inserted the Lion thumb drive and installed a new system.  This action ONLY replaces the operating system and leaves everything else in tact.  It took about 6 minutes for the installer to access the system files, 31 minutes to install a new system, and about 15-20 minutes to update Lion and Safari to the lastest versions via Software Update...and VIOLÁ!  All is back to normal and operating SMOOTHLY!!!

  • The track listing is incorrect on the REM Warner Bros. Box Set. However, no-one appears to be doing anything about it. Do iTunes or WB even know it's incorrect? Am I the only one who's noticed?

    Don,
    To be a good citizen, you may wish to contact Warner Brothers and alert them to the error.  That will allow them to verify it, and advise the iTunes Store (as well as other music download stores) of the corrections.
    You also have the option of advising the iTunes Store directly via their feedback page, but be aware that Apple is unlikely to take a fan's input to overrule info that they received from the label.  So contacting WB is probably more effective.

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

  • Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

    Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

    "Repair disk was unable to repair these"
    Any one of the following may fix the directory damage:
    DiskWarrior
    Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
    TechTool Pro
    Multi-functional utility.
    Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
    You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
    You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.

  • Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

    When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

    Sadly, this is still an issue.
    I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
    If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
    Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

  • I keep getting the itunes update message and when I accept the terms and conditions it just keeps going back to tell me I have 3 updates itunes, safari and icloud and goes back to accept message without actually downloading?

    What is going on with itunes update?  I keep getting the message that updates are available for itunes, safari and icloud, but when I accept the terms and conditions and the install 3 items message, it keeps going back to telling me there are 3 updates available and have to accept terms and conditions again without it ever installing!! I am using a PC with windows vista.  Have not had this problem till December when I got an ipad and had icloud installed, don't know if there is a connection.

    I can't offer any help but it soulds like Apple goofed with the latest update. Many of us have the same problem. I may wait a week or so to see if Apple responds.

    You probably have run out of space, I would delete (or move to an external drive) things that aren't being used as much.

  • Itunes / Safari update

    I have just uploaded the latest update for Itunes, Safari as advised by Apple - now Itunes will not open when I click on it. What happened and how can I fix it?

    I had the same problem as you. What fixed it for me was to run the uninstall package included with the Safari 3 beta, then download and reinstall iTunes from the Apple website.
    Hope this works!
    Will.

  • OS X Updates Avail Banner - How to stop, I don't want to install Mavericks.  Did Apple Sys Pref Notifications: None for iTunes, Safari, Mail but still popping up.  Thanks for any help.

    IMac Desktop computer >OS X Updates Avail Banner - How to stop?  I don't want to install Mavericks.  Did Apple>Sys Pref>Notifications: None for iTunes, Safari, Mail but Banner still popping up.  Thanks for any help.

    I have tried unchecking the "Automatically check for updates" in the Software Update control panel. Of course, then you have to remember to check manually periodically for security updates etc. So far, the annoying banners seem to have stopped, but maybe just because I have not waited long enough for them to come back.

  • These icons have disappeared on my iPad 1; iTunes, safari,app store. How to restore???

    These icons have disappeared from my ipad1; itunes,safari & app store. I cannot use the ipad because of these missing apps. How to transfer these app from my mac to the ipad?

    They are built-in apps, so they can't be deleted, though they might be hidden (you also can't copy them from your Mac, they are different operating systems). If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen down in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), then are thet hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps, Safari, and iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Since Safari update, ichat, itunes, safari and update don't work.

    I've got a weird one . . .
    I ran the software update this morning for the new Safari, as well as iTunes. At the end of the download, I got an error message saying iTunes worked, but the Safari update was not successful. It then made me restart. After restart, software update refuses to open, as do Safari, mail, iChat, and iTunes. Third party programs run fine, as do iCal, iPhoto, etc. Firefox works fine. I downloaded the Safari update package off Apple's site via Firefox, but the package "unexpectedly quits." I'm thinking the failed update screwed everything up, but if I can't open a package installer OR the software update program, how the heck am I supposed to fix it?
    I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Powerbook G4.

    Not so weird, Travis.
    It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
    So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
    My update didn't have an error message.
    Here is what I have done:
    Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
    Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
    NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
    Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!
