Latest update has been a nightmare

Ever since the latest update 11.4.1 or whatever it is my iTunes hasn't worked aT ALL! I have done everthing under the sun and thensome to get it to work but alas failure upon failure. Please supply a fix since I have spent thousands on apple products and services.

Doublechecking. What error message are you getting when you try to launch iTunes? (Precise text, please.)

The latest update has been running for 16 hours. Is that normal.

The small window has been showing for 16 hours. It says downloading the update, and connecting to the server and it has the bar running across. How don I know when it is complete.

Not normal. You probably got a bad connection, but the update is not what you want. You are so far behind at Firefox 3.6.10 that even if the update worked you would still probably have to do more updates. With Mac OS X 10.4 you cannot go to Firefox 4.0, but you will want to go to the latest 3.6 version which is 3.6.17
Start at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html ''(those with current systems can upgrade to 4.0.1 at http://www.mozilla.com for 4.0.1)''. At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
Permission errors on Mac:
If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version (for your system), then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.

3.01 update has been a nightmare - now 3GS won't sync

Hi there,
I updated my 32Gb 3GS to 3.01 on Friday (iTunes also updated to 8.21 on my MB Pro at the same time). Like many people, I had to restore the phone afterwards. Unfortunately, it 'hung' during the restore, and I had to Force Quit. I have been through this 'restore-hang-force quit' scenario about 20 times now. On the lucky occassions when the restore completes I am unable to sync movies, music or photos (apps seem to be ok). The sync gets to about song 16 of 5000 odd and just hangs again. I've re-installed iTunes twice, deleted phone backups and done a new iPhone set up, but still the same. iPod Touch/classic etc still sync as they should. Any further suggestions? Thanks

Here is your salvation

I did it for my phone twice (don't ask me why I tried 3.0.1 again) and it worked both times.

Update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Windows 8.1 update has been stuck in "Preparing to install" mode for 3 days now and I cannot stop it

My Windows 8.1 update has been showing "Preparing to install..." for 3 days now. When I click "Stop installation" it says I need to provide administrator permission and doesn't have any way for me to provide this. My account is the administrator
account for my laptop.
I have already seen a similar thread that said to open a command prompt with admin privileges and type "slmgr -skms", but the solution did NOT work. Basically, it said the usage was incorrect and popped up 5 windows of information that I didn't
know how to interpret (yes, I tried to provide the options it wanted, but they were incorrect).
Any advice would be appreciated!

Ah! This did the trick! Thanks!
In case anyone else has this problem, on Windows 8.1 I had to open up the Control Panel, then type "troubleshooter" in the search box. I clicked "Troubleshooting" and then found "Fix problems with Windows Update" under the System and Security section.

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

It will not download if you already have it.
Just to be 100% clear …
Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
Can you also tell us what system you have?
Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

HT1222 Security update has been tampered with or is corrupted.. Can't update/download

You will need to post the exact message, although I would guess that the download was corrupted during download. Did you do it over a wireless network? It may be better to connect straight to the ethernet port and download from there or try going to
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1643
and download directly from there.

If you continue to receive this error please check that the virtual appliance is configured to use the dynamichost for updating:
myesa_2.local> updateconfig
Service (images): Update URL:
<ommitted for brevity>
[]> dynamichost
Enter new manifest hostname : port
[update-manifests.sco.cisco.com:443]>
Once 'dynamichost' is entered, the current dynamic host in use will be displayed in the prompt [ ]>, as seen above.
You will need to verify that the appliance - escpecially if a virtual (VESA) - is using the correct host.

Another way to confirm that an apple security update has been installed?? i.e 2012-001

Hey Guys,
Do we have another way to confirm that a security update has been installed?
Ways that I can check.
Installed Software tab in software update
Acutally run a software update to see if you can acutally download and install it.
Thanks

Open Terminal and type "softwareupdate -l" without the quotes.
To get a list of available updates, type "sudo softwareupdate -iva" (no quotes; admin password required).
To install recommended updates only, type "sudo softwareupdate -irv" (ditto).
There's more here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/13/install-mac-os-x-software-updates-terminal/
Please note it can take a while for your system to actually display all the updates you've already installed after typing the first command.
