New version of itunes wont recognise my apple devices
Just updated my PC to latest version of itunes. now itunes doesn't see any of my apple devices (iphone, ipad, ipod). the PC sees them (in explorer/file manager) but not itunes. anyone else have this problem?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I'm having the same problem.

After updating my iTunes it no longer acknowledges that my iPod or iPhone is connected so I can't update my music.. I have followed all of these steps and everything is working fine but this new version of iTunes isn't recognizing my devices. Any advice?
I have the same problem. Running Win 8 64Bit, updated to latest ITunes and now will not recognize phone or pad. Followed all advice from Apple (uninstall/restart/re-install, all in exact order) ... nothing. Spoke with Apple tech and walked through the whole process, but no resolution. Tech was trying to be helpful but has no way of addressing issue.

New version of itunes wont import cd's quickly! Help!!
I downloaded this new 7.0 version of itunes, and now my import speed is about 0.3x !! before it was at least 3.5x 0r even higher!! i tried different cd's, cleaning them, changing the encoder that I use!! can anyone help me? please!!!
Same problem after installing the latest version of iTunes. I tried the workaround and that did improve the importing speed dramatically (from maybe infinite to 2-3 mins for a 2 - 3 minutes song), but I still don't get much higher than 1.0x speed. This is much worse than with the old version of iTunes. Someone from Apple needs to provide some input here...

When i try to download the new version of itunes my computer says it cannot download and tells me to click the download only option. When i do this it then tells me the download has been stopped due to an invalid signature.
How can i fix this?That one suggests the installer has gotten 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? -
Newer version of itunes wont install
i tried to update my itunes but it keeps saying that my older version of itunes cant be removed and to contact technical support. what is wrong with it and how do i fix it?help please!!
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
New version of iTunes telling me to connect device to J: drive
Hello. I recently upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes on my Windows Vista PC. When I went to sync my iPods (I have two), I got a message to "connect a device to my J: drive", but the iPod was already connected! It went ahead and synced, but I kept getting the same message, even though I clicked Cancel, Ignore, etc. So then I couldn't eject my iPod and it kept telling me not to disconnect it. But everytine I clicked the eject button I would get the J: drive message. I finally had to disconnect my iPod without ejecting it, even though I had the "Do not disconnect" message on both iPods and was afraid I would damage them.
This is really weird. Is this happening to anyone else? It seems I have had nothing but problems since I got Vista. It's enough to make me want to buy a Mac mini just to run iTunes on (I'm sure this is what Apple wants to hear). I have too much time and money invested in iTunes for it not to work properly.Something very similar happened to me last week - I got the 'j' drive message so I clicked cancel, about a minute later itunes said it had synced my ipod but the ipod was saying 'do not disconnect' - I waited a few minutes but nothing changed so I re-synced (even tho nothing was going to alter) and it worked fine. Not an ideal solution but it did work

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy):

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

my itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?
Look under your Start Menu for Apple Software Update, but before doing that, check the time and date on your computer that it's correct.
It's also saying the iTunes Library .XML file in your iTunes Folder file is new, for some reason, but your songs should be still in the iTunes Folder.
You can move the XML file out and restart iTunes and it shoudl creat another, you lose your playlists and have to import all your music again. -

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backupsHi Iss9243,
