ITunes + Safari + MobileMe Updates

I am currently upgrading to iTunes 9.1, and I have noticed that MobileMe and Safari are selected by DEFAULT in the installation window.
It was my understanding that Apple would no longer be doing this.
As a result, I accidentally installed iTunes, MobileMe, and Safari.
Is Apple going to continue to leave them checked by default? I am getting seriously mad because I have to uninstall Safari/MobileMe every time I update iTunes.
Are there any settings I could change to keep them from being autoselected in the future?

Here are some great articles designed to help you switch from a PC to a Mac: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
Look at this Macworld article: Move iTunes from PC to MAC, http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/move_itunes_windows_mac.html
This explains What are iTunes library files: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660 and where they live on a PC or a Mac.
On the Mac, your contacts are managed by the address book app in your applications. Before you try to sync your contacts, open Address Book in your applications folder and add at least one contact. Then, when you sync, you will be given the opportunity to merge your contacts. Otherwise, you can sync a blank address book to your phone, deleting all your contacts.

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!

I updated iTunes from the update message and now my Windows computer (at work- I use Mac at home) keeps sending me error messages about MobileMe and iTunes. It indicates a .dll error but I can't find any such file. I tried removing the entire ITunes app.

I downloaded an update to my iTunes app on my work Windows computer and now I am constantly getting error messages about MobileMe, when I download a webpage and marked slowness of my Outlook application. I tried removing iTunes and reloading directly from the Apple site, but no change. One of my peers is having the same issue and messages.
Any suggestions?

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.

When I try to do an update of iTunes/Safari/Qtime, I get an "invalid signature" message on my PC (XP SP3).

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.

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.

Safari, iTunes and Software update can't connect, firefox can

Hi all!
Since upgrading to Leopard I've been unable to get my macbook to connect using Safari, Software Update or iTunes. I get unknown error messages from iTunes and Software Update and a message that the server can't be found or times out from safari.
Strangely Firefox works perfectly and the other Macs on my network (some 10.4, some 10.5) are fine.
I have tried checking the proxy settings and creating an new user account but both times the problem persists.
The only thing I can think it could be is that someone configured proxy settings through firefox a while ago (pre 10.5) when they used it at their office. could that affect safari etc?
All help gratefully received.

Hi. Sorry this will not help, more of an observation. I posted a while back that I was having much the same problem at work when connecting through a proxy. Any Apple app that needs an internet connection did not work, ie Safari, Widgets, Software Update etc. But iChat works, as does Mail although not the RSS function. Firefox on the other hand works fine. I am absolutely certain my setting are correct and when I revert to using my 10.4.10 boot disk that all works fine. I think Apple has some how changed the way user info and password is sent when making a net connection through a proxy and now with 10.5 it does not work.
I also spoke with a mate yesterday he has just upgraded to 10.4.11 which means he now has Safari 3. He now is also experiencing the same problems I have with 10.5 and proxy connections.

Can't Mail Contents of this Page after MobileMe update!

In Safari, you used to be able to do a "cmd I" or go to the File Menu and go down to "Mail Contents of this Page" select it and it would paste in to Mail a screen shot of the Safari page you were on.
Now when you do this, after the MobileMe update has been run and installed. Safari no longer can find the Mail app. Here is a copy of the text of the error message that you get now.
"Safari couldn’t create an email message because it couldn’t locate an email application.
You can use the Mail application included with Mac OS X to send webpages. To do so, you need to install Mail using the Mac OS X installation CDs."
I'm on a MacBook 2 Ghz INtel Core 2 Duo, with MAC OS X (10.5.2), Mail version 3.4 (last modified 7/11/08) Safari version 3.1.2 (last modified 6/30/08), MobileMe version 5.1 in the Preference Pane.
The suggested solution of reinstalling mail would not seem to work as it would reinstall older versions of mail that would not have the functionality of being use MobileMe. It would seem to be that a Safari path is what is required to have the code know that the Mail app has been renamed(?).

Hi, I'm on 10.5.4 I must have mistyped my OS version number. I took the version number for MobileMe from the About This Mac information. I was surprised like you see a version number of 5.1 I have run Software update as well just now to see if any newer versions of my software are there. None I'm up to date.
I do know that when I ran the MobileMe updater it said that it fixes problems in Mail, right now some things in various software applications still refer to .Mac. I still think that somewhere in the Mail app that the name was changed, so that Safari is looking for the old name in a string of code that executes the placing a copy of the current page in Mail as an outgoing mail message.
As for that activity bar in Safari, I guess I have never noticed it until now, on a laptop the bottom of the page is some times obscured by the dock which I have at the bottom. I truly noticed it more when I ran the MobileMe page.

My iPod Touch 4g doesn't get recognized with iTunes anymore after updating it to IOS 6 on a diffrent computer but it still charges

Help me, how can I fix this?

AFAIK, downloading directly to the device is typically smaller as it only gets the stuff it needs for your specific device as oposed to the full download when downloading from iTunes.
Correct, no Siri for iTouch 4th gen.
The Maps app is there, but I moved it around, so I'm not sure where it is on your device, but its in there.
Safari is updated in iOS 6, your other apps should update in the App Store when their developers release updates, I've launched only a few apps so far, no problems with compatibility!

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.

Itunes 7 wont update....help

I recently purchased a new 2nd generation shuffle for my kids and have been having trouble ever since I first plugged it in. It apparently needs itunes 7 to run but itunes 7 wont update on my computer. Everytime I try to install itunes 7 I get the following message. "This installation cannot directly upgrade the version of ipod software found on this computer. Please uninstall the ipod software and try again."
Anybody have any ideas? I have tried everything that I can think of.

Ok this is how I fixed this. Apparently iTunes uses Safari.
Go to Settings -> Safari -> and Clear Cookies and Data and also Clear History - scroll down to see those settings.
Set Block Cookies to either "from third parties and advertisers" or "Never" (you choose which one)
In Advanced (scroll down its the last setting) make sure JavaScript in ON
Here is the last step I had to make to fix it - which may not apply to you. Some time ago I changed my primary email for apple. I noticed it was asking me to enter the password for the secondary email.
I went into iTunes and App Store, tapped my Apple Id and then Sign Out. I then resigned in using my primary Apple email and password.
Just to make sure, I turned the phone off and on, but honestly this may be optional.
I am now working again.
I hope this helps you.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.
