    Best route here is to uninstall iTunes completely using the Windows Control Panel.
    Make sure you know exactly which version of Win 7 you're running.
    Restart your computer from cold (with no iTunes).
    Go to Apple website and download the correct version for your operating system.  Install following Apple prompts.
    Once installed, close iTunes.
    Restart your computer from cold (with new iTunes).
    Start iTunes - all should be operating well!  Good luck ...

  • My wives phone will not restore. we have had an apple tech and a verizon tech on this issue. we are trying to restore from a previous backup from iCloud. it is large. but a month now?! Help!

    We restored her new iphone 5s from a backup on icloud from her previous iphone 5. it was restoring for two weeks! we called apple and eventually reset and started over. verizon had us do this again a week and a half later. still, now, its been over two and a half weeks and the phone will not restore from her icloud backup. she has alot of our pictures from the recent past holidays and pictures in icloud that we dont want to loose. along with all her itunes purchases.she is starting to get really upset. i know her backup was a fairly big one but if icloud sold her the storage to do the backup. why cant we get her phone to restore from this icloud backup? Is it the device? is that covered under our apple care? or under our phone warranty? Is it the size of the backup? im so lost and want to help her. I, writing this on the support community to see if you guys can help us. i really dont wat to spend another grand on a phone. thank you for your time. thanks for reading. happy holidays to you all..

    Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

  • I upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -, i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

    i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

    I have run into the same problem. 
    1.  I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s.  She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did.  After I did we ran into problems with messaging.  Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked.  When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy.  I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7.  I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
    2.  I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account.  It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
    3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
    4.  Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
    5.  I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times.  The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup.  It does not matter which I select.  It prompts me to connect to iTunes again.  The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings. 
    For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
    Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

  • Whilst downloading new version 11.1.4.62 yesterday Itunes stopped working and I now get an error message MSVCR80.d11 was not found. I have uninstalled I tunes and reinstalled it and Ihave also taken the recommned patch to recover the MSVCR problem.

    I was using my Dell PC (Windows Vista) on the 24th January 2014 and I was lstening to music via my Itunes programme. a window appeared alerting me to the need to take the new 11.1.4.62 Itunes update.
    I should have stopped Itunes and then installed the updated programme but absentmindely I cliked on the upload icon.
    Everything carried on as normal unitl around 70% the way through the upgrade when Itunes stopped working.
    An error message appeared 'Itunes Helper exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.d11 was not found.' i was advised to uninstall and reinstall Itunes as that may fix the problem.
    It didn't!
    I then researched this issue on Google and was advised that if the reinstall of Itunes didn't resolve the issue I should download and install Microsoft Visual C++2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Pack and run it. Did this and reinstalled Itunes again. Still doesn't work.
    Where next?

    Yes I have had the same problem today. Wish I had`t bothered to carry out update as everything was ok before.

  • Receiving error (-50) and my phone will not restore

    Please help.. my phone will not restore the back up on my itunes.  Whenever I plug in my phone it asks me to continue my restore but then I get the Error (-50) message.  Any ideas on what I need to do?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9:
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation 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.
    Make sure you are not connected through a usb hub; connect directly to the usb port on your computer.  Also be sure your usb to dock cable is good, that your case isn't interfering with a good connection to your phone and that the cable and connector on your phone are clean.  Also try disabling any security software.

  • My phone will not charge (4S).   It is now dead and I cannot charge it or turn it on.   Any ideas?

    My phone will not charge (4S).   It is now dead and I cannot charge it or turn it on.   Any ideas?

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try cleaning again with small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If all it needs is battery, battery replacement program with Apple is $80. Replacement iPhone with Apple is $199 for perfect iPhone 4S exactly like yours. Otherwise replacement parts to consider are battery and charging port assembly with flex cable.

  • TS1647 My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • I had purchased Imovie today I can find the icon movie it click it but it will not open. Its shows up in docs and purchased but not apps? how do i add it to my bar and open it?!

    I had purchased Imovie today I can find the icon movie it click it but it will not open. Its shows up in docs and purchased but not apps? how do i add it to my bar and open it?!

    Exactly where are you clicking, you need to be specific. For example, are you using the Dock, the Applications folder, Launchpad, etc. to attempt to start teh app? Also IOS 7.1.2 does not run on a Mac, what version of OS X is installed on your computer?

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
    I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
    Open Office is free, you can download it here:
