Reinstall iTunes after OS upgrade

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and I am having trouble reinstalling my iTunes library from a backup

You're out of luck, as far as itunes goes. There are some 3rd-party ipod managers that might be able to get it off your ipod. The free ones, I would steer clear of.
Not having used one myself, I can't recommend one - another user said iPod Access worked great for them. iRepo is another one, just google for ipod manager and do some research. Make sure the program says it will do what you want, before plunking down any moeny.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

  • What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?

    What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?

    Here's what I do when I have iTunes problems and it works 9 out of 10 times.  I have Ccleaner; It's a wonderful tool to have.  If you don't have it, google it and install it, just the free version.  You'll see the list of all of your installed programs in there to unstall (among of a host of other things you could do with that program) but anyway, right click on Apple Software first to repair, when done then right click on Apple Application Support to repair, then when done with that, right click on iTunes to repair that and all should be well after that.  No uninstall should be necessary at all when you do all that.

  • My iPhone 4 will no longer back up in iTunes after my upgrade to Windows 7 64bit.

    I used to have Windows XP 32bit and everything worked fine.
    I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and installed iTunes 64bit (I've also tried running the installer as administrator [in the compatibility properties]).
    iTunes will recognise it with no problems and I can drag and drop anything I want to the iPhone, but I can't back up.
    Software versions: iTunes v10.4.0.80, iPhone 4.3.5.
    When I try to back up, the loading bar with either:
    Have a loading bar with diagonal lines forever or,
    it will start moving and freeze.
    I've tried leaving the process for hours, but to no avail.
    While the back up is being attempted, iTunes still retains full functionality.
    I would exit by sliding the bar on my iPhone (iTunes will retain the loading bars as if frozen) and then unplug it. At this point iTunes takes a few seconds to drop the loading bar altogether, and the little screen will reset to normal functionality.
    I believe this may be a iTunes-Windows thing as I did the following with my old laptop (Windows XP 32bit):
    Installed iTunes for the first time.
    Went into preferences and disabled the automatic backup option.
    Plugged in the iPhone, right-click "back up".
    The back up took less than 5 minutes.
    I don't understand why my main PC can't back up my iPhone.
    Can anyone help please?
    I've tried researching the same problems and I've ended up doing the following:
    Reinstalling iTunes,
    Tried changing the iTunes installation folder to "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)",
    Deleting all contents from: "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup",
    Deleting the apps from my phone in case there are corrupt apps (doesn't make sense though as it backed up fine on my old laptop).
    I would appreciate any suggestions!
    Kind regards,
    Will

    Hi there,
    I have the same issue. Usually hangs after 10K od sometimes after 18MB of backup file.
    Config: iTunes 10.4., Win 7 64bit, iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3
    I tried all of these without success:
    - deleted backups via iTunes / Preferences
    - deleted backups from sync folder
    - created a new admin user and tried to sync
    - reinstalled iTunes
    - ran all Windows updates, restarted, reinstalled iTunes
    - ran iTunes / Diagnostics (says everything okay, only info which is strange: diag says I am not a admin user, which is not correct)
    Nothing helped. Who can help. I hope someone from Apple can take care, as I seem not to be the only one. Actually iTunes is the worst part about iPhone. Hope with iOS 5 and Cloud sync to get rid of iTunes.
    Any hints welcome,
    Cheers,
    Miguel-KA

  • Missing music in Itunes after software upgrade

    I upgraded to ITunes 11 today; I was suprised not to have any of my music in ITunes when I started the program after the upgrade.  What happen to all of my songs and APPS?  and How do I get them pack?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue. I'm using Windows 7 on a Dell PC. When I first upgraded iTunes to 10.4, the store would not load at all. I uninstalled every Apple product including Quicktime, and reinstalled them. iTunes seemed to be working normally for a while, but now it has difficulty closing, and when I open it again my library is gone. I have reconstructed my library and playlists several times, and this keeps happening! The store does seem to be working, but is slow to load initially. I have also excluded iTunes from my virus scan (I read that could help). Apple, this upgrade is full of quirks!

  • IPOD no longer recognized by iTunes after newest upgrade!!!!

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My IPOD is now not recognized by Itunes. I get this message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software". I followed the instructions and I also downloaded the latest iPod updater software. Restarted the computer only to get the same message - OVER AND OVER.
    I have never had this issue prior to downloading this newest upgrade. A patch or resolution is needed ASAP to fix this issue. People invest TOO MUCH money in these products for something silly like this to occur.

    However, iTunes now want's me to update to a new version (1.4)!?! Should I do this or wait until Apple fixes 1.5?
    hi John!
    hmmm. do you mean itunes 5.0.1.4? what version of itunes are you running currently? (just to be on the safe side, let's head into your itunes "help > about" and check to see precisely which version number scrolls up from the bottom.)
    love, b

  • I need to reinstall iTunes after uninstalling it on a power book g4 with os 10.4.11

    I need to reinstall iTunes 9 after uninstalling it on a power book g4 with os 10.4. The iTunes version 9.2.1 cannot run on my apple, I already tried.

    You should update your system to 10.4.11 if you haven't done so (your title says one thing and your signature another)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
    - then you will be able to run iTunes 9.2.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056 - which should definitely run on 10.4.11 G4. It might be a good idea to run that updater anyway. Removing the built-in programs isn't a good idea and can sometimes upset your System. In extremis you may even need to reinstall from your original discs and then run the combo updater.

  • Had to reinstall iTunes after bad virus and now when I drag and drop song into custom playlist it won't added.  No green   appears, instead just the circle with slash.  What's going on?  a fix? Michael

    I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes.  Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song.  Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash.  I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?  Thanks 1ngiri

    OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
    So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
    Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

    Howdy Allux345.
    After multiple installations of iTunes it can be frustrating when the issue isnt resolved. I was able to locate the following knowledge base article that specifically addresses the "Error 7" you are recieving.
    iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074
    The Resolution section has different steps depending on what version of the Windows Operating System you're using. Since it can be a bad installation of these Windows files, pay close attention to the instructions on repairing if the file already exhists.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities with your question.

  • HT2703 Can i reinstall Bonjour without uninstalling/reinstalling itunes after accidental removal?

    Can i reinstall Bonjour,after accidental removal, without uninstall/reinstalling itunes?

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
