The answer to iTunes and Vista issues...

After waiting for weeks for Apple to listen to all the posts about Vista and iTunes issues, I decided I could not wait any longer. I went out and bought Anapod Explorer which syncs music, video and photos effortlessly with Vista. This proves onc and for all that the iTunes issues with Vista are indeed iTunes issues, and Apple should feel ashamed that they are not supporting the vast majority of iPod owners out there who use Windows not Mac.
In the end, it's Apple's loss as now I do not use iTunes at all so will never be able to use the iTunes store. All Windows users should vote with their feet and stop using iTunes until Apple respects them a little more and works quickly to fix issues with Vista support.
If a small company like Red Chair Software can develop a product that works so well with Vista, how come Apple can't? I recommend Anapod 200% and at $30 it is a bargain.

Yay! This works and thanks for the suggestion to use the backed-up .itl library.
The only glitch I got after it finally launched is that iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play tunes. I had to use my last 5 of 5 authorizations. I only have 3 computers, but I've had this glitch before. Hope I never get it again.
Thanks to the forum, and uh... no thanks to Apple!

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

Can't connect to the App store, iTunes and software update with MBP 13

Hi,
I have a MBP 13 from 2011 and I have a really annoying problem with connecting it to the App Store, iTunes and the software update. It claims that I have no internet/wifi/network, although I clearly have it since I am watching series through Netflix and are on Facebook at the same time. So naturally I started to look in to the firewall and it works fine, since it does not and has never blocked any other Apple products/programs. So I continued looking everywhere in the computer, found nothing. And finally I decided to re-install the MBP and I still cannot connect to neither of these programs.
I feel that it is really unnecessary to hand the MBP in for service for a problem like this, so I was wondering if there is someone out there who has a solution to this problem? Beacue , as I mentioned earlier, my internet/wifi is working perfectly with everything else, so I really do not understand why App Store, iTunes and the software update does not work.

Hello there, Victoria Nisoho.

Why am I not able to access the app store, itunes and safari since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9?

IT tells me they would have to revert to the old OS which they don't want to do or can't do? I have been two months without access. I am at a loss. any help or guidance would be appreciated. I work for state government and our servers are PC-based which I think where the problem is. Is there a work around to gain access to the app store, itunes and safari. The app store icon indicates I have updates available but I am stuck. Please advise.

I know safari is mac's native browser. Since updating to OSX10.9, I have not been able to open safari. Firefox works fine but I preferred safari. Safari just won't open, it acts like it wants to, but the progress bar goes about half way across and stops. What other information do I need to supply?
This is a very frustrating problem when I see that there are updates to apply, but am unable to open the app store to get them. I can't even see them.
IT, in my opinion, has almost thrown in the towel since they are more PC-based.I believe it is a connection problem but they have been unable to fix it. They blame mac for a hasty upgrade release that was not fully tested to see if there were any Mac/PC connection issues.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
(I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it.

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?
