My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

I can not sync my iPhone to the computer. I keep getting up an error message that synchronization does not want to start. I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstall it. But the same warning box will appear. How can I get my phone in sync again?

Can someone please help me get my iPhone to sync to your computer?

Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

I am trying to change the Apple ID on my I phone and my Wife's I phone. Is it possible to keep our contacts, calander, and photos by doing this? We do not care about our music or apps. Is this possible?

Photos should be copied to the computer and synced back via iTunes. They are unrelated to the Apple ID unless you are using PhotoStream.
Depending on how the contacts are synced the the device, chaging the Apple ID may wipe them.
Why do you want to change the Apple ID? If it's an email address change, simply change the email associated with the Apple ID. Do NOT create a new Apple ID.

I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

As stated, only the original Cellular provider can unlock the phone. If they charge $250 for doing so, that is their decision. It is YOUR decision to pay that fee or not.

Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS6 - asking me to connect to iTunes - when I do, my Mac is saying 'detected an iPad in recovery mode but need to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (our Mac too old to upgrade). How do I restore iPad so I can use it again?

I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS6 following a prompt from the application icon.
Once that was complete, my iPad asked me to connect to iTunes which I did. iTunes then told me that it detected an iPad/iPod in recovery mode and I needed to have a newer version of iTunes to restore.
I've tried before to upgrade to a new version of iTunes but was advised my Mac was unable to support this due to the Mac's age and old operating system.
How, therefore, do I get back onto using my iPad 'cos at the moment, all I get when I switch it on is the 'connect to iTunes' symbols.
Help please, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

I just went to open itunes, and it says 'unable to read itunes.itl because it was created by a newer version of itunes'. I googled it, someone said to change the 'itl' to 'old', so I did. I was then able to open itunes, but there was no music in there.

I just tried to open itunes on my Macbook, and it says, "the file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I googled it, and someone suggested to change 'itl' to 'old', which I did. I was then able to open itunes, but nothing was there of my library. Have I lost my entire itunes library? Please say it ain't so ...

Hi,
By changing itl to old you made iTunes create a new blank library.
You may be able to use a previous iTunes library which are created when you update itunes. Therefore delete the current itl file, go to previous iTunes library folder, select the one that is most recent one before you made updates to iTunes. Move this to replace the one you moved to trash. Rename to iTunes library.itl then open iTunes.

HT1727 I bought a ring tone from itunes and got a email confirm, but it isn't on my iphone. how do I get it to my iphone...or where do i find it?

I purchased a ring tone from itunes (first time) on my iphone and got a confirm email but it isn't on my iphone..how do i get it to my iphone or where do i find it?

If you bought it on your phone then it should have downloaded onto that. If you go into Settings > Sounds can you set it as an alert or your ringtone, or if you go into the Contacts app and select one of your contacts, if you tap the Edit button on their details can you set it as the sound for them ?
Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, so if it is on your phone you may want to connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so as to copy it over to the Tones of your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy of it.

ITunes Library cannot be read - was crerated by newer version of iTunes?!?

I just tried to open iTunes on my 10.6.6 Macbook pro laptop and it's telling me that "The file iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Apple Update says there are no updates, so how could my version of iTunes possibly be older than what created the library? In case it matters, the library was created by my desktop Mac and copied over when I first got the laptop. Please help!
thanks

I just got the same error and found a solution that takes about 5 minutes
to fix, most of the time is spent navigating to the right directory
and changing two file names.
Use the finder (or double click the macintosh HD icon on your desktop)
to navigate to your personal iTunes directory
On my system, it's in
Macintosh HD > Users > jeff (me) > Music > iTunes
(if you already have your name in the list of "Places" you can just start
there and see the Music directory, then the iTunes directory).
In that iTunes directory you will see two files that iTunes uses to
keep track of the contents of the iTunes Media folder.
Here's the solution:
Rename iTunes Library to iTunes Library-OLD
and Rename iTunes Music Library.xml to iTunes Music Library-OLD.xml
Now run iTunes (no error message, but no files either)
Here's how to get back all your music, etc:
In iTunes, from the top menu, select "File" then "Add to Library..."
The Add to Library will ask you to find the files you want to add.
Now, navigate back to the same directory as above:
For me it is
Macintosh HD > Users > jeff (me) > Music > iTunes
In that directory, just select the folder named "iTunes Media"
iTunes will then happily index all the contents of iTunes Media, including
all your APPS, all your music, podcasts, basically everything in the
"iTunes Media" folder, which contains several subfolders that are included
as well, all automatically.
This saved me hours of fiddling around.
Hope this helps you (and anyone else with this awful iTunes error message).

Can not open iTunes - window says "...created by a newer version of iTunes.

ITunes will not launch....I've been using iTunes with the same settings for over a year. Suddenly today I go to launch iTunes and get the message: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. How do I fix this so I can get back to using iTunes. I need it desperately for work.

I don't know if this works with Windows, the error occurred on my MAC and I poked around the iTunes folder because I didn't want to be forced to reinstall iTunes.
If you have a folder "Previous iTunes Libraries" under your iTunes folder, you are in luck. Inside that folder is a backup of the last iTunes Libraries. If you copy that into your iTunes folder, rename the current iTunes Library, then rename the file you copied to iTunes Library, it will open - at least it did for me.
Good luck!

ITunes corrupted, must be reinstalled. Now 'the file iTunes Library itl. cannot be read, created by newer version of iTunes.'

My iTunes programme on Windows PC has suddenly become corrupted and must be reinstalled. After two attempts, I installed the requisite 64 bit version, but it won't open as "The file 'iTunes Library itl.' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Where do I go from here (bearing in mind very little technical knowhow!)?

There are two things you can try here:
If you updated fairly recently, you can recover a backup copy of the library file made when you updated.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967?viewlocale=en_US
This gives you the library as it was when you updated.
Or you can recreate your library from the xml file, this will be more up to date, but not all the metadata is recovered.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
At the end of the article it tells you how to add files you your library if you don't have an xml file.
Anywhere it tells you to drag a file to the trash in either article, I would drag it to the desktop or another folder of your choice in case you need it later.
The second article also include links to general troubleshooting if iTunes will not start after recovering/recreating your library.

Why won't my computer download the new version of itunes

I am trying to download the new version of itunes (10.5). It won't download,it just stays the same version i first got.

This is not an ipod touch question.
Try posting in the itunes forum.

HT2292 gnature can't can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid siupdate new version of itunes due to error messagecan't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si saying invalid si

can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

IPad2 Updated and now iTunes and plug icon

After being prompted for a few days for the update, I followed the usual protocol of agreeing, etc. and clicking update. Screen went dark. After about 15 minutes the apple icon came back, then and iTunes icon along with a plug icon next to it. I have no specs as I didn't write it down before I started. After 2 years I guess I am complacent and expected it to work.
I've tried hard reset a few times. Plugged it in to my computer for iTunes and it won't update but comes up in recovery mode and won't go further without restoring it back.
Important stuff is backed up but 2 years of getting it "just right" I am hoping I don't really have to do this.
Any thoughts, opinions. Or am I just going to have to push that restore button?
Thanks.

you have to restore via itunes - no other options sorry
peace, Clyde

I have the most recent phone update and iTunes, and when I am trying to upload new music it says "waiting for changes to be applied" but nothing actually changes after a few minutes. Has anyone else had this problem? I can't even remove music

has anyone else had the problem with getting your iphone to sync? i can't get any of my newly downloaded music to sync to my phone from my itunes and i tried to delete all my music and it won't even sync to do that. i dont know what to do.

try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!
