It says i have itunes 7 installed, but it still wont work
Every time i try to buy a song on itunes, it says i have to download itunes 7 to continue using the store. when i click on the link to do so, it opens up a blank internet page. when i go to the apple website to download itunes 7, i go through the process and it thanks me for downlaoding itunes 7. when i go back to the itunes store to buy a song, it still tells me i need to download itunes 7. Because of this problem i cant buy any new songs, and i am getting really frustrated. any help would be apriciated!
macadooby, could you doublecheck your current itunes version number us?
in itunes, go "help > about itunes", and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. for example, mine says "itunes 7.0.1.8".

I had my iphone 3GS and then upgraded to 6.1.3. Now the phone is in a loop and reboots everytime the Apple logo comes up. I held teh home power and connected to itunes to retore, but it won't restore. any ideas?
Hey harikrishnandhk,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue with your iPhone 3GS. You are definitely taking the correct steps, as you'll want to restore the iPhone in recovery mode. For information on doing so, see this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Thanks,

Try as much as you can. When it says to place in recovery mode use this program instead.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
My movies on Apple TV have started taking around an hour to download and I've not changed anything for this to happen. I've been told to go to Settings on iTunes, to reduce the resolution but there isn't a settings tab. Can anyone help?
On the main menu, isn't there a settings icon next to the green one that says "Computer" ?

Ios4.3.3 failed on iphone, now phone says connect to itunes
I was updating my iphone to the latest update tonight, the update failed. now the screen shows a usb cable pointing to itunes. when i connect to itunes, my phone does not show up. Ive tried to press power and home at the same time, also tried to hold home while connecting usb cable. nothing seems to help. any ideas?
I would suggest powering off the phone, then following these steps to enter iPhone DFU mode. If this doesn't let iTunes see it and restore properly then you should probably work with one of the Apple Stores or AppleCare over the phone.
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. -
My iPhone 4s keeps saying "connect to iTunes"
okay, this is long so bare with me. So I earased everything off my phone and set it as a "new phone" so I could downald iOS7. When iOS7 finished dowloading, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it to iTunes. It was almost finished adding everything back onto my phone when it said it couldn't be finished. I decided to sync it again, and it said all my music and apps were being synced back onto the phone. When I check iTunes to see if it was still syncing it said it had finished so I checked my phone and it said "connected to iTunes" so I disconnected it, when I did that, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it again and it synced again, and I kept on doing this until I tried connecting it in recovery mode, and restoring my phone, nothing has worked. Someone please help me.
Instead of doing full reset try going into General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings - it worked magic for me after trying all other tricks mentioned on the web. You won't loose any data BTW.

My son decided to play with my ipod for his amusement and starting entering multiple codes as a password. Even though i had already set the option not to lock after multiple attempts, it ended up disabling anyway. So now my Ipod reads "Ipod is Disabled, Connect to Itunes." I connected it to Itunes and all i get is another error message saying:"The Ipod is locked and can not connect to Ipod." After reading multiple articles turns up i have to restore my ipod to its manufactured state. Before i do that i want to see if anyone can help me in retrieving or transferring over all my photos that were taken on that Ipod before i can even start the Recovery/Restore process. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance to all who reply :-)There is no way to get them from a disable iPod. That is pat of the security offered by the screen-lock passcode.
- If the photos were on the iPod when y last backed up you can resore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- If you use PhotoStream yo may be able to get them from your stream. For how see:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
