    thanks

    You have a couple of options:
    1) Upgrade your computer
    2) Upgrade your operating system
    3) See if any of the third party software apps will allow you to at least sync your Nano'

  • HT201210 I disconnected my iPhone in the middle of an iTunes update. Now it wont run properly what do I do?

    I disconnected my iPhone in the middle of an iTunes update. Now it wont run properly what do I do?  I was working online and I recieved a pop up from iTunes stating that there was an harwared update for my iPhone. I had it plugged up for a while , long enoung for me to watch a tv show have dinner and come back.  I thought the update was complete and came back to the computer and unplugged it. The next morning I saw a picture of aUSB cord  and the iTunes icon. I have no use of my phone and cannot get access to emails, internet contacts..nothing . Help !

    Well it should NEVER be unplugged when doing something.
    It actually had not installed the software at that stage, it had been copied over to the iPhone, it was being checked and then it would be installed.
    You need to connect your iPhone to the computer at home and hope that you can install the software again and then restore your backup.
    If you install iTunes at work you may be able to Restore the software but you will most likely lose the content on your iPhone as you do not have a backup to restore on that computer, or all your media / apps.

  • TS1717 data executiion prevention keeps closing my itunes,but itunes wont run without it.help !

    data execution protection keeps closing my itunes on my sony vaio.also get the messge c:\windows\system32softpub.dll.tried turning of the DEP but itunes wont run without it.no problems with any other programs.any thoughts

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows operating system file there.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

  • New itunes wont run in windows 7 64 bit even after full uninstall and reinstall

    after the new itunes 2.2 came out i have been unable to get it to open or run i have fully uninstalled all elements and reinstalled and still it wont run

    it just ask permision to run program then
    ... that's interesting. Is that one of those User Account Control type messages?
    I'd like to see that screen if possible, stew. Could you take a screenshot of that permission message screen (Hold down Alt and press the PrtSc key), paste it into a Paint document (or similar image editor), and save the file. Then reply here, click the wee camera icon, do a Choose file, browse to the file, click "Open file", then click "Insert Image".

  • Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.  how do i resolve this ?

    just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
    now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. 
    how do i resolve this ?

    By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
    Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
    You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
    Click "Choose Library ..."
    You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
    Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
    Does your iTunes library open without the error?

  • New iTunes update wont run in the background

    When the last update for iTunes came out I was pretty excited to see the new layout. When I was done installing I was really impressed with the new setup. I do however have this one problem. I used to run iTunes in the background when I was playing games or watching subtitled movies where the sound doesnt matter. Now whenever I do this playback from iTunes gets choppy, like when the needle arm on a record player gets constantly bumped. I was just wondering if there was a new update I have missed since this one came out or if I can just rollback my version of iTunes

    Almost all people fix this with very simple steps....
    1) Goto the PC makers site and update your sound card/driver (May as well install all updates they offer for your model while there)
    2) In Windows goto Control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode" hit OK and reboot for the settings to take
    3) Also try going to Microsoft.com and updating your DirectX

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

    Every device has the same problem. They're never seen by iTunes until i plug them in to the computer running iTunes.
    I've tried lots of combinations of plugged in (to power), not plugged in, restarting all devices in all orders, various different access points (2.4Ghz/5Ghz, guest, ssid exposed/not etc) and every list of steps I can find... No luck.
    This is incredibly frustrating.
