After upgrade to Lion OS I installed new itunes but it has been unable to update. this now prevents me from upgradeing my ipod OS because itunes is not up to date.
Your signature is saying 10.6.7 and that is Snow Leopard not Lion (10.7.x)
Are there any error messages if you try to update iTunes on your Mac?

    You certainly could not have bought FCPX via itunes. It can only be purchased using the Mac App Store. If you are indeed looking in iTunes, you won't find it. Start the Mac App Store application - it is right there in the Apple menu on your mac = make sure you are logged in with the same Apple ID used to purchase it and it should be there for you.

  • I updated iTunes 10.3.1 today, and now it won't let me open itunes it keeps saying error 7 (windows error 14001)  and also says (apple mobile failed to start verify significant privileges to start system services)

    I updated iTunes 10.3.1 today, and now it won't let me openitunes it keeps saying error 7 (windows error 14001)  and also says (apple mobile failed to startverify significant privileges to start system services) I have unstalled it severaltimes, tried repairing it also switched off all security software and checkedall files are deleted in local disk (program file) but still no look. Please cansomeone help 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back?

    i upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back? I tried using the shortcut for it and nothing happens. When I try to do it from the view menu, it shows up as something I can't click on. The new library format is driving me crazy and I just want to get back to the old library view.

    We need to sort out some facts here first:
    •  You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5.  What Mac is it?  What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
    •  What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
    •  Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
    •  Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
    1)  partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
    2)  install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

  • HT1751 I am trying to backup my iTunes to an external hard drive, but it won't let me click and drag or copy and paste into the external drive.

    I am trying to backup my iTunes to an external drive, but my Mac won't let me drag and drop into the external drive or any of its folders.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I think I know what I did....my external hard drive has been used to back up my PC.  I was trying to back up my iTunes on my Mac.  I forgot that the formats mattered.  Thanks.

    Make a backup of your media and other important files.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
    Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
    Restore your media and other important documents.
    Install iTunes.

  • IPhone 4 won't download latest version of itunes or the OS or safari, and it won't let me restore without the latest version of itunes. Can you say circle??

    Help!
    I synced my iPhone 4, but it keeps getting the red exclamation points and an error message when I try to download the latest software. And, it won't let me restore the phone without the latest software. I'm stuck.
    Then, this morning, the phone locked up completely. I got it to turn off finally, by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. But still no luck with the software download.
    It's Thanksgiving, and can't go to Apple.
    My phone is my only telephone (no home phone), and I use it to keep track of two email addresses (personal and work). So I'm anxious to have it fully operational.
    Suggestions? Thanks!!!

    one can't update itunes or safari seperate on the iphone those 2 are a part of the ios update
    you need to update your computer and then update your phone
    or if you have ios5 I guess you can update from settings

  • I try to get on Firefox but it has a bookmark called Untitled and then won't let me on the internet

    I had Mozilla Firefox for my internet site. It now pops up with an "Untitled" bookmark and won't let me on the internet at all, even though the main window appears OK. I have tried resetting the whole site and it doesn't help at all. It still comes up this way after I reopen another Mozilla Firefox site. How do I get rid of this bookmark so I can go on the internet again?
