Someone help me! my iTunes is broken and I cam't fix it

Almost every album I download several tracks do not download fully and just cut off in the middle of the track. Now, most of the time, these tracks are available individually so re-downloading them is free. However, as usual, it has happened with a couple of tracks that aren;t individually available on two compilations I bought this week. The itunes store sent me those compilations in my account again but, funnily, after each track downloaded (for the second time) it disappeared from both my library and the entire computer! I'm getting very frustrated with this. It's been going on for months: in that time, I have had a new internal hard drive inserted into my computer and am using a different internet connection! I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes as requested by the iTunes store and STILL the problem persists. Does anyone have any clue what's wrong? I've come to expect better from Apple! I had to download the same compilation album THREE times this week because one of the mixes on it didn't download fully! I've updated to the latest version of itunes and everything else I was asked to do. This is REALLY annoying me now. PLEASE can someone shed some light on the problem? I'm using British iTunes of that helps

Another thing...after having downloaded aforementionedcompilation album for the third time I noticed that most of the tracks had fully downloaded! HOWEVER I couldn't check to see if the second full length mix had been downloaded because it told me my account was bot authorised to play it! Signing out and in again didn't make a difference either! What's up with that?

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.

  • My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

    my iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

    If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
    When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
    Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
    Good luck

  • PLEASE HELP! My screen is broken and I need to sync!

    My screen broke, everything else is working fine, and I want to sync the broken phone with the computer one last time. I need the phone numbers. I have a Palm 755P from Verizon.
    I have the plug that is the USB end connected to my computer, and the prong thing that attaches to the bottom of the device with a "sync bottom" on it. My touch screen is broken and is many shades of vibrant color
    Is there a way to perform sync or navigate through menus without using the screen? Please help!

  • Help! Suddenly iTunes/iPhoto/AddressBook and others won't open

Now iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and other programs won't open. I can still get on the web, still use some programs like FileMaker Pro and Safari. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

  • Several times I've downloaded albums from iTunes to find that some of the tracks did not get fully downloaded so that the track with skip to the next one. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Several times I've downloaded an album from iTunes to find that not all of the tracks were fully downloaded so that some of the tracks will skip to the next one (instead of finishing the song). Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

    my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

    Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
    If in iTunes, try this:

  • N95 please someone help !!!! contacts and messages...

    This has just happened to me. I backed up using Nokia PC Suite (Content Copier) and al was OK. I then updated the firmware on the phone from v12..... to v20..... Again all OK. Tried to restore and it stops at 71%. PC CPU is running at 99% for 20 minutes before I stop it. Where does it say Nokia recognise this problem?
    Thanks

  • Can someone help with my itunes song skipping problem?

    I just got a new laptop and transfered all the songs successfully, downloaded the newest itunes and bought more songs from the itunes store and two days later, my songs started skipping. They aren't skipping as bad as i've read on the messages boards of other people, maybe one small skip in various songs.
    But...
    Once I plug in my ipod to the usb port, will the skipping songs transfer onto my ipod and start making them skip as well? I checked my ipod and all the songs are ok, but I haven't attached my ipod since the songs started skipping.
    Oh yeah...I've set Quicktime to safemode, I've read on these boards about switching to safemode...but nothing changed.
    What do you guys think?

    Unless the problem is with the songs themselves, moving the songs to your iPod will not make them skip there. Before you sync the files in question you should play them with another medium (ie. "Windows Media Player"). This will help you pinpoint where the problem is.

  • Help! Getting iTunes Error 11503 and Error (-50) was working fine this morning and now nothing

    My iTunes has been working fine until this afternoon and now when I go to download music I am getting error code 11503 or (-50) Help, please!

    Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
    It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
    I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
    Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
    Close iTunes.
    Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
    You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
    Restart iTunes.
    All should be fine.
    If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

  • Can someone help I have a Ipad 1 and cant see the update software in settings I dont have this line.

    Dear Sir
    I hae a ipad 1 and cant upgrade because I cant find the line in settings (upagrade software).

    What version of iOS is presently on your iPad? If it is a version of 4 or below you should use the computer that you normally sync with. Start iTunes on that computer and use the menu to check for updates. If there is an update for iTunes download and install it. Then start iTunes and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in the left column of itunes on your computer and select General at the top of the right column. Look for updates and follow the prompts to install iOS 5.1.

  • Can someone help with moving iTunes & iPhoto from a external harddrive to my new computer?

    I got my new computer 3 days ago. I'm loving it so far. My question is...I have an external harddrive that I was using as my backup for my old computer. It was running OS X 10.4 My new computer is 10.8.2. I have no idea how to get the info for iTunes or iPhoto off of my external drive. I've never had to do that before so I'm a little lost.
    Thank you for your time.

    Migrating from an older Mac OS to a newer one is usually smooth (not vice-versa, there may be problems). Depending on the app used for backup, you may use it in the reverse order (you used to to backup, it must have a restore function).
    Alternatively, you may simply copy the iTunes and iPhoto folders into ~/Users/logged in user/Library/Music and ..../Pictures, respectively.
    You may also continue to use the folders on the external drive by pressing Option/Alt key upon starting iPhoto and iTunes. You can do that any time you wish to keep these folders in another location than the default one. See screenshots below.
    If not clear, please come back with details.

  • Can someone help with Quicken 2002 to 2007 and MacGourmet?

    I just upgraded my OS to 10.8.2 and I had some major issues with lost data for Quicken 2002 and MacGourmet. I can't figure out how to retrieve the files for both programs. Everything is backed up on TimeCapsule; but the new OS is a bit of a learning curve for me. I just got Quicken 2007 and MacGourmet2 as the guy at the Apple Store thought that those would allow me to bring the olde data into the new programs. However, as of many hours of trying, I have not been successful in either case.

    Hold the home and power buttons together for 20-30 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
