Problems with security settings and itunes updates! What do I do?

So I preordered a cd that became available today. When I went to download it, a message came up saying that I need to download the latest version of itunes (7.-[can't remember the last part]but anyways) so I clicked on the upgrade icon. I then got a message saying "your current security settings do not allow this." No matter what I do with my security settings I keep getting this same message! I have windows xp, please help I would really really like to be able to download and listen to the cd I've paid for! Thank you in advance!

Maybe you aren't on an admin account in Windows? If not, create/logon to one and install it.
Or maybe you just need to go to the website and download it instead of updating through iTunes. Go here:

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problems with windows 7 and itunes

    I purchased a new computer which now has windows 7, I am having a problem with iTunes sync my iPod.  I have installed iTunes 3 different times and it still wont sync my iPod touch.  I have the first version of the iPod touch, I am out of solutions on what to do I don't want to have to lose all my music, pics and apps.. Any suggestions on what to do and how to fix this problem thank you!

    Have you tried transferring all of your purchases?
    To do this, plug in your iPod with iTunes open.  (if it starts to sync, let it).  Once it's done syncing, keep your iPod plugged in.  Go to "File" at the top of iTunes and find "Transfer Purchases from iPod".  Click that.  It should start transferring everything from your iPod into iTunes.  Once it's done transferring, sync your iPod again (just to be safe).  Once it's done syncing, unplus your iPod and check each tab on the navigation bar to see if your stuff has transferred and synced (For example, if you transferred music, click the "Music" tab on the left navigation bar, for apps, click "Apps", etc.)
    This worked for me when I couldn't figure out why my stuff wasn't transferring from my iPhone to iTunes by just syncing.  I have to transfer purchases every time I download a new app, song, book, etc.  Hope this helps!

  • Problem with security settings

    Dear all,
    We have the problem that we create a PDF with CS3 (compatible down to Acrobat Reader 5) with no security settings.
    This PDF is sent out to a colleague who's only having an Acrobat Reader installed on his computer. When he's checking the security settings, there are several security settings done. He urgently needs to comment things.
    Please help. We are desperately seeking
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!
    Birgit

    Hi Bernd,
    Thanks for the quick reply! And: of course there is no Acrobat Reader As everyone around me calls it like this I just wrote w/o thinking about it. Sorry!
    I passed your answer to my colleagues searching for a solution. Obviously they made the right settings but the other side using the Reader had a too old version in which commenting was not possible, yet.
    Hmm, all this hustle for no reason...
    Anyway: thank you very much for helping!
    Take care,

  • Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

    Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
    Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
    Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
    It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
    Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
    Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
    Thanks.

    Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
    Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
    The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
    *If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.

  • Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

    Hi there,
    I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
    When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
    In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
    I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
    Thanks,
    Michael
    HP Pavillion dv6000   Windows Vista  

    Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
    The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
    However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Problems with IOS 6 and ITunes

    I now have the album cover photo for Gloria Estefan as the wallpaper for my IPhone 5. This was not deliberate. Even after going back to settings and resetting the photo for both lock screen and home screen, I still end up with Gloria.

    So I was looking at another discussion about not being able to get into the App Store and tried this: 
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    Was able to get iTunes to open up and show music/movies, etc...  Went back in and put Location Based iAds back on and still able to get into iTunes.   Not sure if this was the probelm or if iTunes was done (for whatever reason) over the weekend.

  • I am problems with Apple TV and iTunes streaming

    When streaming a movie via AirPlay to my Apple TV 2 from iTunes on my mac the Apple TV keeps either loosing the homesharing or just stops playing and goes back to the main menu. It does it weather sending from the mac to Apple TV or pulling from Apple TV and the same via Ethernet or wifi. Wifi begins streaming quickly but Ethernet can take ages befor streaming begins.
    I can use airplay on my iPad fine to watch movies off of the mac and also to send to the Apple TV. Plex works great when using the mac as a server. i stream the movie from the plex server via the plex app on the iPad and then sending to Apple TV via AirPlay.
    The problem only seems to be with the Apple TV/ iTunes combo.
    Thanks in advance for any help. Been driving me crazy for days.

    thanks but I have not upgraded to Yosemite. I have Lion 10.7.5
    And like I said it a previous post took the machine to Apple Genuis and he said it was good to go!
    Thank You

  • Problem with security settings on wireless network

    I swapped out an old D-link router for a new D-link gigabit router and am now unable to get the security settings to stay on WPA2. I can set it okay, but the padlock doesn't show up next to the network name and when I go back to system preferences it has reverted to "none" under the security settings. Any suggestions??

  • Problems with movie playback after iTunes update

    Recently updated iTunes to 11.1.1.11 and now my Disney movies won't play - the audio keeps dropping out. Any help?

    Do you have a KVM switch to share your monitor between your Mac and your PC? I was getting this problem when I got one of these so my new Mac could share my monitor etc with my old one but found a way round it. In System Preferences -> Displays, tick the 'Show displays in menu bar' box. Then click on 'Detect displays' from the drop down menu. The screen will go blue for a moment and the computer will recognise the monitor for what it is.

  • HT1918 I went and tried to change my billing info , but it says that there is a problem with a purchase and to update my billing info. Is this why it won't let me delete my card info to none?

    I'm basically locked out of the App Store from downloading and up dating. When I try to update or download anything a window pops up saying to check my billing info or that there was a billing problem, so when I tried to delete my NGO and cha ge it to none there was no option for that. So does this mean that I need to correct the problem first before I can have access to the App Store?

    Yes.  You need to correct the billing descrepancy before you can use the iTunes store.  Write down what error you are getting, and open a support request at expresslane.apple.com for the iTunes store.  They can check the issue and get a solution for you.
