My PC OS rebuilt several times due to malware. Apple says I have reached 5 PC limit for itunes. Makes me furious at APPLe. How do I just get to my music which an rebuilding again?

It is the same 2008 HP PC..the OS has been rebuilt several times because of malware.I know to back up my music but I must still replace track by track. The new Itunes makes a grave error by not allowing folders/albums to be loaded anymore. Anyway, I want Apple to stop this 5 pc limit as it is one PC with new OS. What do I do to get Apple to stop this nonsense? Why can't I load my albums entire content? Thanks in advance.

Apple are the least of your problems and they will reset your computer count without issue.
As for you Windows Malware issues they ARE a consern and you are likely carrying out security and risky Internet usage.
Open iTunes.
Select the iTunes Store
Sign into your iTunes Account.
Click on your account name and choose account
In separate window that appears
Enter your account password again
The iTunes browsers window now shows all your account details
Click on button next to authorized computer count to deauthorize ALL computers.You can do this annually.
You can also get Apple to reset all your computers at any time by visiting this link.
It usually takes 24 hours for Apple to carry out your request.
http://www.apple.com/mx/support/itunes/
Next I strongly recommend you stop loading Windows IE tool bars and be very careful what you do when visiting social network sites.
Disable Java and Flash.
And never use Torrents to download illegal films/music/games or unsigned software.
Have a nice day .

I purchased Apple TV. I had to upgrade my OS to Lion which I did. I cannot get Lion to open because time machine is backing up to two hard drives, my external hard drive and my internal hard drive. How do I just get the backups going to the external? thx

I have a desktop Mac. I bought Apple tv and wanted to connect my photos to the tv. I learned that I had to upgrade my OS as I didn't have icloud capability. I purchased and downloaded Lion. I cannot open it however, because when I go to select the hard drive to install Lion onto, the dialogue box says that I cannot open it in either my external hard drive or the internal hard drive because of the backups to time machine. I have tried the 'fix' of moving the backup folder to the trash and then putting it on the desktop, but I still can't access either one of the drives to install Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The current OS is Mountain Lion 10.8.3, so I if the purchase was recent, that is what you should have.
It should be possible to see what disk space is being used by opening the Disk Utlity in the Applications>Utilities folder. It looks like both disks are set as TM disks:
If you have Time Machine backup of both the internal and external disks and want to rationalise the system to only backup one, then set the TM preferences>options to exclude volumes as required:
When you download the installer from the Apple Store (MAS) it will come up with a dialogue to run it. It will then ask which disk you wish to install the system on. Is this where you have got to, before it says they are both unavailable?

HT5957 I can not download the new 7.0.2 update to my ipad. I have tried several times. It stalls out. I have tried restarting the ipad ... No success with that either.

I can not download the current update, 7.0.2 to my ipad 2. There is no error message it just fails to install. I have tried to download it several times with no success. Also I have tried a restart and that has not made any difference.

Hello there, MerryGal.
You may want to update your device through iTunes. A guide to the steps are found in the following Knowledge Base article:
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

Turn off your iPad and put it in recovery mode. Try to restore it via iTunes.

TS4036 Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

Have you shared your AppleID with anyone - family member or spouse? Any given AppleID can only be associated with 10 devices at a time (five of which can be computers). Once you reach that limit, the 90 day timeout applies before that AppleID can be associated with another, new, device.
You can see the explanation here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
All you can do is wait the 90 days, sorry but I know of no way around that. If you think the message indicates an error though, then use the Express Lane web support pages to send a note to the AppleID support folks.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC
