Major iTunes problems- please help

Okay people, here's a good one for you. On my desktop I have the latest iTunes version, software, and all that jazz. When I hook up my 60GB iPod or my 40GB iPod iTunes locks up and refuses to sync my iPod. I have had this problem for quite a while now. Anyone have any suggestions? Now I have another problem. Since I cannot use my desktop I backed up my 11GB library to 3 DVDs so I can transfer my library to my Sony Vaio laptop. On that laptop I uninstalled iTunes from the C drive and installed the latest 7.3 iTunes on the D drive so I would have enough space. I finished restoring the first disc and then put in the second. A message popped up saying there was not enough room on the C drive for all of the music. What in the ****? I installed on the D drive! So then I looked at the shortcut icon's properties it said it was located on the C drive. I then did the 'explore' thing and it said iTunes was on the D drive. So according to the laptop iTunes is in two different places. Does anybody know what the **** is going on and can you please help me?

Alright, so on my laptop I got my library to work on the D drive, but guess what. My 40GB iPod won't be recognized by the computer or iTunes but i don't really care about that iPod. My 60GB iPod is recognized somewhat but iTunes says something like "the iPod cannot be read... blah blah blah... you should restore your iPod." I am to the point of refusing to restore my iPod because I did that a few weeks ago for my desktop computer and I had to wait a full 36 hours for another non-Apple program to recover the data on my iPod because iTunes wouldn't sink it. No wonder I don't want to restore my iPod. Please someone help me!

Major Nano Problem - Please Help

I have a 1 GB iPod Nano that worked fine when I got it in May 2006. Now, however I have a major problem. I put my iPod on the computer to charge through USB and when it was finished I could not safely remove. Actually, the iPod was not recognized by my computer or iTunes at all and the screen keeps flashing the apple logo and will not turn off until the battery runs down.
Here is what I did to try and fix. Reset and restore. I also tried to put the iPod in disc mode. When I put in disc mode my computer recognizes the iPod and it is shown in iTunes but when I safely remove, the iPod remains in disc mode and I can't get out of disc mode unless I reset and then I am dealing with the flashing appe logo again.
Could someone please help!
Windows XP

I'm thinking that the nano is the cause of the problem and so i "think" tou showld send it back for the cost of it and buy a new 2 gig one.

ITunes problem please help!!!!

Can anyone please help, I have just had my laptop back form Apple and I have gone to play my music in iTunes and the distortion and skipping is horrible really really grainy!. You can no longer hear songs that were once crystal clear. I have read about gain and things but my equaliser is turned off, but the song played fine before I sent my laptop away for a new casing so that shouldn't make a difference!!!! Can anyone suggest what is wrong or give me a solution to fix the problem.
Please help.

5th gen itunes problem, please help

I have an ipod touch 5th generation that I just got today, It was working right out of the box and i synced everything up, I already updated the software to 6.0.1. Then after I do that, I am prompted to update to software 6.0.1 because my software is not 6.0.1 (??? how!) and I stupidly select this, Before this my ipod was crisply working as it should, Now it is not working, It is in recovery mode and the drivers are not installing with it. I dont know what happened or what I should do, I have a warranty on this thing, should I use this? I dont really know what to do. please help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Windows 8 Pro - iTunes problems, please help!

Since I have installed Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, itunes has not worked at all? I keep getting error messages when installing and the it says I need to verifiy I have privilages to use 'Apple Moblie Device Support' I've tired run as admin. please help!

hello, i have a HP computer a pavillion g6 with a GPU Ati Radeon 6470M and windows 10 as operating system i tryed every single roubleshooting web site that speaks about this issue for now. in my opinion windows 10 isn't made for this kind of Graphic cards (by that i mean ATI mobility graphic cards)... for now !!!. a lot of people offer alternative solutions to the driver provided by the official AMD website, try this web site "http://leshcatlabs.net/". may be it'll work. but they didn't work for me, try them may be they could work for you if u happen to try windows 10. the thing is and my question is : Will there ever be any fix from HP (or microsoft, or AMD) for this issue ?. because it's not worth to wait if i will never use my graphic card on windows 10... i'm seriously thinking about downgrading back to windows 7 where every thing was stable over this issue. it's a temporary solution, but at least i can use my GPU. thx for answering, let's hope we all find a solution soon.

Apple ITunes Problems PLEASE help!!!!

Ok, so my friend has been having problems for a while now about her itunes app store account. She has had a problem in the past about credit card information and is afirad to give any information away. When we try to set up her account and it's time to choose a credit card there is no "none" option. On mine there was so how can we get that on hers? Or is there a way to get around it?
If you could help it would be greatley appercieated!

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Use/redeem an iTunes gift card vice using a credit card.

Major Update Problem - Please Help

Forgive me if this topic has been covered before, but its late here and I don't have time to trawl through the forums.
So, here's the deal. I purchased the iPod Touch software update (the one that lets you use apps) for $12.99 and I was told, after purchase mind you, that all of my songs and playlists would be deleted if I installed the software. The problem is that the playlists only exist on my iPod Touch and I have songs from so many versions of iTunes that I have lost count (my friends and I share songs all the time), therefore if it is all deleted it will be nearly impossible to piece my iPod back together. Is there a way to backup all of my iPod's data with iTunes so I can restore it after the update?

Itouch - itunes problem - please help !

I have the latest firmware on my 2nd gen itouch and its not jailbroken .
yet when i put on music , movies or anything , it goes like its loading the the songs or whatever but as soon as it freezes . It gets to the sync screen at the top of itunes but freezes and if i unhook it , no new songs or movies . but if i plug the itouch back into itunes , it syncs and all's well .does anyone else have this problem ? thanks alot !

How many things was it updating? If it was a lot then it might freeze for just a little and complete the update. If it is just a little bit of things, then you're iTunes may not be up to date or you might have to restore your iPod and see if that works.

Toshiba P305 major hardware problems PLease help

I have a satellite p305. The headphone jack stopped working and the touchpad and click buttons stopped working. I tried updating drivers but nothing changed. The other problem was whenever you had to programs open that produce sound (windows media player and a you tube video or similar) The audio came out staticky. This is not when trying to listen to both players at the same time, one is paused. But if you have both of them open one will be staticky. I tore the computer down to see if there was anything visually wrong with it at the headphone jack or where the click butons and touch pad plug in but found nothing. I put the motherboard back in and put it all back together and plugged it in and pressed the power button. The buttons light up and i think either the hard drive or fan spun but nothing else happened after that. Im thinking bad MOBO but i need some advise because this is a computer that i am working on for someone else and really dont want the whole you broke my computer game to be played.

This is one problem within the DirectX 9.0b:
Please take a good look at this update for Microsoft DirectX v9.0b:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8dfd1b6d-e177-4a0e-91d0-b4310675b02b&DisplayLang=en
Possible Issue Description:
- TV-Tuner card cannot keep TV-Tuner settings in memory;
- TV-Tuner card cannot be initialized in system after installing DirectX v9.0b;
- TV-Tuner card cannot capture any picture;
Official Microsoft Information:
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw.
I believe that your SB card is sharing IRQs with your Firewire hardwares thus causing errors.

IPOD+ITUNES problem, please help

Before I loaded the new version of itunes, I could plug in my ipod and drag and drop things from my itunes library into my ipod. After loading the new version I can no longer drag and drop songs from itunes to my ipod, and i cannot select individual songs on my ipod in itunes. All the songs on the ipod are grayed out. I cannot play any music on my ipod thru itunes. I have tried reinstalling and resetting everything. Please help

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.
