itunes stuck on checking iTunes library!

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit iTunes if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash, if they exist:
          Application Support/SyncServices
          Caches/com.apple.iTunes
          Caches/QCCompositionRepository-com.apple.iTunes.cache
          Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService
          Saved Application State/com.apple.iTunes.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try iTunes again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit iTunes again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          iTunes
Note: you are not moving the iTunes application. You’re moving a folder named “iTunes.” Test. If iTunes now works, delete the iTunes folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit iTunes again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with either of the following strings:
          com.apple.iTunes
          com.apple.mobile.iTunes
Move them all to the Desktop.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Test again. This time iTunes should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes iTunes to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit iTunes again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting iTunes and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

My data plan was changed without my knowledge or consent, and now I cannot get it returned.

I started getting overage notices, and when I looked it seems my unlimited data had been changed to a 2GB plan. (I haven't signed any new contracts or bought any new phones, or done anything to the account). I have been trying to get my plan re-instated and am being told I cannot. I'm not sure what I can do. I've been with Verizon for many years, and had planned on remaining with them but I am SO frustrated by this. If I cannot get this mistake fixed I am going to switch to another company. Any ideas?

What seems to have happened is that my sister went to look at phones, though she didn't end up getting one. But in the course of the visit the rep was recommending alternate plans to her that he said would better suit her usage. Somehow he ended up canceling my data plan. This occurred a couple of weeks ago, and I tried to get it fixed right away.

First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
Next try DFU mode and restore.

I have tried to connect to iTunes to restore, but after the restoration completes, it asked me to do it all over again, so what should i do?

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. that is what the screen is telling you to do.

I tried to eject a cd, didn't work so I turned off the computer and now it keeps getting stuck at the gray screen. How do I fix it?

Here are a few more details. I put in a game cd for a windows computer, once I opened the folder on the desktop I noticed the install application was .exe so I tried to eject the cd but no matter what I tried on the computer it wouldn't come out. I will say though that I didn't try the manual cd eject cause I didn't have anything small to hit the button in the cd drive with. It was getting late so we decided to just turn off the computer and leave it for the next day. I can't remember if we turned the computer off with apple shut down or by holding down the power button but we walked away pretty quickly before it was fully shut down. The next day the computer won't turn on. When I walked into the room I was the computer stuck with a grey background with the apple logo showing and the circular thing under it frozen. Since no one was in the room I held down the power button and turned the computer off. We tried to start the computer again later but again it keeps getting stuck at the same spot. Now when we hold the power button down to turn it off I'm not sure if it's really turning off all the way. The screen goes dark but it sounds like the fan is still going. I tried disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse but when I started it up again it got stuck on the grey screen with just the apple logo. I'd really apprechiate help on this cause I live in Germany right now and support call centers work so much worse when you don't speak the language well... Thanks for any help you can give!

Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

I was trying to use the Matlabscripting VI, but it says it is for instructional purpose and not for research and the system is getting stuck.When I used it two days back it worked.Could U plz tell me what the problem is??

I have Labview 7.0 and Matlab 6.5 installed on all the computers at my School. When I tried to use the Matllab Scripting Window for the first time, it worked, but after two days when I was trying to run the program, there was a meesage saying that the License is for instructional Purpose only and not for Research or commercial use and the Labview is getting totally stuck. I need the Matlab Scripting VI for my Project,could anyone suggest what I shd do or is there any other method by which I could do that.

Hello Medha,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
From the information you have provided, I am not sure what is causing your problem. Make sure that you do not have an evaluation license for LabVIEW.
What, if anything, was changed in your VI before it stopped working? Will it run without the Matlab script?
If you continue having trouble getting your VI to work, please respond with more information. If you like, you can post your VI (along with any necessary sub-VIs) and I will take a look at it.
Have a great day,

My mp4 movie files used to transfer from computer to iPad but now they will not Tried dragging and dropping to iTunes library but won't work anymore Plse help

I have mp4 movie files that i am trying to transfer to my ipad and it will no longer work. They will not copy to my iTunes library. I used to be able to transfer/drag and drop converted movies to my iTunes are the mp4 files maybe too big Although I have plenty of space

Howdy Anastasia,
I was thinking about why the songs arent importing and I feel that its either, A) the format of the files has changed since you last imported them, or B) you may need to rebuild the iTunes library.
Here is an article about doing just that:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Re-creating the iTunes Library file
Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" or "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the Desktop. If neither is available, learn how to add files back to the Library (because the XML file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
Mac OS X
"iTunes Library" or "iTunes Library.itl"
Microsoft Windows
"iTunes Library.itl"
6. Open iTunes.
Important: Do not add any content into iTunes at this point (such as by purchasing something from the iTunes Store).
7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
8. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file on the Desktop.
Mac users: Click Choose.
Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.
Regards,
Sterling

IPod Classic won't turn on due to water damage, is there somewhere I can take it to recover the music files on it since they're not saved on my computer?

Please help, will lose thousands of songs if I can't save music files or turn on iPod, it's an iPod Classic Video.

If I'm reading your post correctly, you mean your iPod is not waking up from sleep properly? If your iPod's controls aren't functioning correctly, a software restore on your iPod is the recommended course of action, though doing so will wipe the contents of the iPod and requires a resync to your library.
Could you elaborate further on what the exact problem is, when it happens, what you're doing as a result, etc? Does it still play music when it's asleep? Does it wake up when plugged in to your computer or dock? All of this information can help us pinpoint the problem and offer a better solution.

Since i download the new version of i tunes i canot play the songs of my library...it say that "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found" what i do to just play the songs directly? please someone help

since i download the new version of i tunes i canot play the songs of my library....it say "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".
would you like to locate it.i just want to play directly..what i do? please help thanks

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

TS1398 I have a little symbol in the upper right side of my iPad that looks like a lock and now I cant get connected to the internet. Can anyone help me ( my granddaughter was playing on my iPad before this happened)

I have a symbol in the upper right hand corner of my iPad that looks like a lock. Now I am unable to connect to wifi.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
For the WiFi issue try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You can also power cycle your router, Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
