Need to Upgrade to ITunes v. 8- Please help!
Hi All,
I just bought an Ipod Classic and it requires that you upgrade to v 8 (or later) in order to be able to use it. I have read awful things about v 8 so I was hoping to avoid it but when I plugged my Ipod into my macbook, it said I needed it. My dilemma is that I am TERRIFIED of losing my playlists and music. The last time I updated my ITunes, it erased everything right before my wedding (so we had to scramble with CD's the whole night). I am about to give birth and I have created playlists that I plan to use for labor and delivery that I do not want to lose, let alone all my music that I have spent hours putting on my computer and is now in storage because we just moved to a new state. Can anyone tell me how to install v 8 without losing my library and playlists and then how to sync my Ipod with the new version of the software without wiping everything out? I think I will have a heart attack if I lose my music. We are talking thousands and thousands of songs and I cannot retrieve if they are lost. Please help!
Hi Again,
I bought an external hard drive...if anyone has any suggestions how to back up my ITunes that way, I would be grateful.
Thanks.

I just bought a newer Nano and I need to upgrade my itunes for a laptop (with Windows) that no longer has the capability to go online. Is there a way to do this?
Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

I updated my phone and it cleared everything on it and I don't have an icloud or itunes backup. Please help I need to get my pictures and information back
Sorry, but without a backup in iCloud or iTunes on your computer, your data is gone and can't be restored anymore.

Do I need to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.4 (windows)?
Do I need to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.4 on my windows computer (given all the reported problems with the upgrade)? Can I just continue to use the older version and update when a fixed/new version becomes available?
You can wait until a newer version is available.

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side : -

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.

You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device? -

Help! I just purchased a US sim card/monthly pre-paid plan (i am from Canada) as I am travelling in the states for a month, and when I went to restore the iphone, it didn't work. I can't find backup that i did right before the sim was changed. I really need the info that was there! Please help..
Hold on,
Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
Backup in iTunes
Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
Wait for unlock notification.
Restore the backup. -
I have a new computer at work and all my song are on the server-when I try to change the folder location under preferences to the server, it still won't show my songs in Itunes?? please help!
Howdy carpetjim,
When you change the folder location like that, it changes where new songs and media are stored. To actually load the library you need to do this:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of the following screens:
Additional information
If you do not see one of the screens above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.

I updated my itunes and now every time i try to play a song 'internal error' shows up and itunes quits. Please help me....
Hi Dance4Life85!
I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes, according to the instructions in this article:
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11201
To reinstall iTunes, download it from the Apple Downloads website.
Apple Downloads website
Note that all you will need to do is download iTunes and install it again, it will install over the version that is on your computer right now without issue. If your issue persists, you may want to see this article about troubleshooting third-party plugins for iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
Lastly, if neither of these resolve the issue, then you may need to recreate your iTunes library. More information on this can be found here:

Hi P.Rose,
If you're unable to connect to the iTunes Store, try these steps:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Cheers,
