My computer won't allow me to re-install itunes 6 NIGHTMARE

After happily deleting the itunes 7 upgrade I downloaded 6.0.5. After opening the contents a message read that it can't be installed on this computer. So I installed 4.7.1 which won't sych to my nano. I tried again and the same message popped up. Itunes 6.0.5 was origionally installed by Apple when the G3 recall happened. Any thoughts?
I book G3
10.3.9

Try the procedure as described in my first post in this topic:

Hope this helps.

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

My computer won't allow me to duplicate a CD! Error code -8058

I need to copy a CD and my lousy computer won't allow me. Is there some reason why it's not?

You didn't mention what CD you are trying to copy.
If it is just a regular CD, then it is possible that it is somehow copy-protected. This is a standard industry practice to prevent you from making copies of their programs. This is supposedly to crack-down on software piracy.
If it is a DVD, then the above suggestion is still possible. All DVD movies (well the commercial ones) are copy protected. And, duplicating them by any means is actually illegal in the United States (although there are programs that will do it - but those programs are also illegal here).
Copying program DVD's (such as the Mac OS) is legal if the license agreement permits it, and even then usually only for the purpose of having a backup in-case the original gets scratched or damaged somehow.
If it is not copy protected, and it is a DVD, then:
You should verify that your source DVD and destination DVD-R are the same type of disk, and that your drive can write that type of disk.
There are standard DVD disks and Dual-Layer disks. The Dual-Layer disks hold roughly double the capacity of a standard disk.
So, if you are trying to copy a Dual-Layer disk to a standard DVD disk, then it's not going to work.
Likewise, your drive also needs to be capable of writing to a dual-layer disk. Only the drives in the 17-inch MacBook Pro are able to do this. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is not able to write dual-layer disks.
Now, assuming that both the disk you are reading and the disk you are writing to are NOT Dual Layer DVD disks, then you may have a media problem.
In this case, it could be that the media is not a type that works well in your computer. Some drives are very particular about who's disks they'll work with. Others will burn anything.
So, I would check to see if the computer will burn files to that disk (or the same kind of disk) without trouble.
If it will write to that disk, but still will not copy the disk you are trying to duplicate, then you are probably dealing with copy protection or disks that are in a format that either you cannot write or are of different types.
If you are working with a DVD, you can usually tell if it is a dual-layer disk by seeing how large it's reported capacity is in the Finder.
Right-click on the disk on your desktop, and then click on "Get Info". If the reported capacity is beyond 4.7 GB, then you are most likely working with a dual-layer DVD.
And, of course, the obvious, don't try to copy a CD to a DVD or a DVD to a CD.
And, one more detail is that you need to have plenty of space available on your hard drive to burn a DVD or duplicate one. I tried with about 4 or 5 GB of space free, and was given an error. But, with more space available (around 20 GB) the computer was happy to burn a disk for me.
Again, without more information, it's hard to say for sure what your problem is. But, hopefully the ideas above will provide you with some help in making sure you are on the right track.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My computer won't allow me to restore the factory settings.What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to restore my computer to the factory settings, but it won't allow me to erase everything from the hard drive. It won't even allow me to delete me as a user. What am I doing wrong?

You can't erase a volume while booted from it. Start up from the installation DVD, erase the volume, and reinstall.

Computer won't recognize Nano after downloading updated ITunes

I updated ITunes and my Video IPod works fine, but my husband's IPod Nano (1st G) now does not exist as far as my computer is concerned. The Nano works fine and charges when I hook it up to the computer through its USB cord, but my computer won't recognize it. Could this be a problem with the new ITunes update?

I posted this elsewhere, but perhaps it fits best here....
I am having this same issue, except in my house, we have 2 nanos- 1 is recognized and 1 is not. Hopefully someone can figure out what's going on.
(both nanos in my house are less than 4 months old)

My computer keeps needing to restart and the computer won't allow me to submit error report to apple

My IMAC keeps prompting me to restart after the screen turns grey. Essentially, after a few hours of use, the screen turns dark grey, filling in from the top to the bottom slowly. Once the screen has the dark grey hue, directions pop up in the middle of the screen for me to restart the computer. Once I restart it, the computer automatically generates an error box to report to apple. However, when I click the box to submit to apple, even if when the computer is connected and running well, it will not allow me to report it. It's been doing this for a few months. What do I do?

What you're getting are kernel panics. These are usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory the leading cause. I would go find your original OS X disks that came with the system, find the one that says in small print on the label 'AHT Version x.x', insert and reboot holding the D key down (if that doesn't work, hold that alt/option key and when prompted choose the Apple hardware test). When prompted, choose the extended test. Does that identify any hardware issues?
You can also run Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ if you want to thoroughly test your memory. Let it run overnight for a good test.
Also, see this FAQ: http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

HT204382 My computer won't allow me to play a video, and it's on a quicktime. It keeps telling me I need an additional program. Help!

One of my family members send a vidoe to me. Its on a quick time, but it doesnt allow me to play it, becuase I need an additional program. I wanted to ask what program do I need? My computer is MacBook Air. Please help me! Thank you

You generally need Perian for FLV and AVI files, and the free version of Flip4Mac for WMA or WMV files. Some files simply can't be opened on the Mac.

I am trying to install MS Office updates on my mac, but my computer won't allow me to choose the Mac HD to install it. What do I do?

I've already tried the MS help website suggested in the error window and there is no assistance available there. Help!

If you are upgrading from Office 2008 without any service pack you need to install SP1 before installing SP2

Reformated computer won't allow me to use backup disks

Hi. I had to reformat my computer but before I did so, I backed up all my music. Now, I've reinstalled iTunes but I have two problems. 1. I can't figure out if there's a way to put the CD in and copy the files over automatically. 2. When I copy the music manually and try to open it in iTunes, it says that the action isn't authorized because it's registered to my old computer. It then asks me to log into the iTues store with my old information but the store just says that I need to update iTunes, which I've already done. And I can't get past it to have the music reauthorized.

File -> Import and select the CD.

My computer won't allow me to play songs

I had a bunch of songs on my ipod, came to itunes to buy more, then synced, and now all but 3 of the songs are gone from the ipod?? And I get an error that "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." Please help if you know anything about this. This whole process has me stumped??

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes or play one of the songs, and provide your iTunes Store account information when prompted.
