Newer iTunes crashes pc, can I still sync?

Everytime I downloaded the newer version of iTunes it crashed my computer, leaving me unable to sync my phone. Yesterday it crashed again, so I tried a restore, and it failed miserably. In the end I even tried a firmware update and that didn't even work. The phone hung between either asking me to connect to iTunes, or the little rebooting apple. My son restored it on his computer, with a newer version of iTunes. Now when I try and sync all my gear back on, it doesn't want to seem to let me. Is there a way I can transfer all of my iTune data to another computer and run a parallel iTunes, so we both sync to different things please?

You don't. The nature of iTunes Match is that all your music is available on the iOS devices all the time. If you wish to keep syncing via USB then you'll have to turn off iTM on the devices. Or, you can use playlists, and do not show all music on the devices.

  • I want to set up iMessage and Facetime for my daughter.  I know I have to create a new apple ID but can I still sync her iPod to my iTunes account?

    I bought my daughter an iPod touch for Christmas.  I orginally set up her iPod with my Apple ID but I realized that she needed her own apple ID in order to use iMessage and Facetime with me.  So if I create an Apple ID for her, can I link it to my email? Will I still be able to sync her iPod to downloaded songs from my Apple ID?

    No, sorry.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID & Account used when making the purchase.  Purchases cannot be transferred to another AppleID.

    An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
    iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7  Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.

    There is no Info tab in Mavericks
    if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

    Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

    Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

  • I have 10.5.8 and want to install the new itunes 10.7, in order to sync the new nano , but i am unable to.  Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard in order to sync new nano?

    I have an imac (2009) with OS X 10.5.8 and i need to install the new itunes (10.7) in order to sync my new nano (7th generation).  Do I have to upgrade my software to Snow Leopard in order to run itunes 10.7?  How to I go about this?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • I had to wipe my computer clean so i downloaded new itunes now i can't sign in

    i had to wipe my computer clean so i downloaded new itunes now i can't sign in

    What error?
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?

  • TS2776 After installing iTunes 11, we can no longer sync our iPhone and iPad devices with Outlook 2007 or 2010.  We are trying to install iTunes 10 to replace iTunes 11. Anyone have a fix for this?

    Since installing itunes 11, we can no longer sync to our Outlook 2007 and 2010 calendars (there may be other Outlook files included in this syncing problem). Using the iCloud is not an option as it does not support Vista OS.  We are trying to reinstall iTunes 10.7, however; that is not going particularly well, either. Does anyone have a proven solution for this mess?

    FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

  • HT4623 how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
    Connect the device. 
    Select the device.
    Select Sync.
    In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default.  With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
    If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

  • I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes

    I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

    Bucktr09:
    I'm having the exact same problem.  I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen.  I can get my library content but the store is a no go.  Is there any one out there with a solution?

    i had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

    You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14).    And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
    As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update.   The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.
