The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz

"share tab on the side bar ..."
iTunes has not had a sidebar for over a year. You can see one (as iTunes 10 used to show) by doing View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
But I'm not sure if that is your issue. You do not need a sidebar to do home sharing. Are you running the current iTunes (11.1.3)? Have you turned on sharing in Preferences? Have you done File > Turn on Home Sharing?

When i open itunes it gives me an option for itunes U and podcasts download

Hello,
I just purchased an Iphone 5. When I open up Itunes, it gives me a screen that has two tabs at the bottom. One tab is for Itunes U and another is for Podcasts. When I click on either tab, it asks me to either download or open.
I downloaded itunes U and it still does it, so I deleted Itunes U.
Bottomline: I cannot access Itunes on my Iphone 5, although it shows the icon and its there. It keeps bringing me to the screen I mentioned above.
Please assist and thank you.
Chris

I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

New Itunes update "can not locate file" for music videos

Every music video I have ever purchased is gone! WHat the heck happened? Everything I have purchased before the recent 10... update is no longer in my library. The vidoes are still on the devices (IPad, Iphone, and Itouch) but not in the library. I have tried to transfer purchase from these devices and the videos do not transfer. The two videos purchased after the update are the only ones there our 100+ videos and movies. Anyone have any ideas? IMy computer is a WIndows 7 64bit based operating system.

I don't think I understand you.
In iTunes, are you looking for your music under Library> Music, in the left bar?
You can't play music from your iPad thru iTunes. If you select your iPad in iTunes, then click the disclosure triangle, then select, say a playlist, the contents of that playlist will show up in the main window, but will be displayed grey and can't be double-clicked to play. So I don't understand what you mean.
On the iTunes Summary page for your iPad, do you have Manually manage music and videos checked on?

Firefox opens up "you are updated to newest firefox version" page every time i start. Does the same for for updated extensions. Also checks for add-on compatibility everytime i start. Please help me.

Everytime i start Firefox (version 9.0.1 -release version) it checks for compatibility with the add-ons just as if i just installed firefox. It also opens up "you have successfully updated to the latest version" pages for firefox (and extensions. ie flashgot and downloadhelper). My homepage was always blank and firefox was always set to load the pages from the last session. A similar issue was covered in this support but that solution (setting the homepage to default) didnt help me.

Hi meric07,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

When attempting to install ios5 iTunes starts to backup the iPod but the back doesn't finish and the progress bar keeps moving left to right, any ideas why please?

When attempting to install ios5 on my iPod touch , iTunes starts to backup but doesn't get anywhere and the progress bar just keeps going from left to right, any ideas please as to what I can do? Thanks

Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to your computer.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try again.
If that didn't help, try restarting the AMDS > iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

I have multiple itunes accounts... can i sign into all of them and drag music... without having to sync them all?... is that what home sharing is? please help.. i use to be able to get music from any account but now it says im already attached to one!

i use to just get music from any computer i plugged my ipod it... including whatever account... but lately im not allowed ... it says im already synced to another account... diid they change their policy? ... how do i fix this... i want to be connected to three accounts.... is that what home sharing is? will it enable me to get from all three?

When you delete items (movies, music, whatever) from your iTunes library the sync software automatically deletes those items from your iPod. The sync's goal is to make your iPod mirror your iTunes library.
When you use the "only sync checked items" it tells the software that <only> those items are to be on your iPod -it will delete other items from that category.
I don't have a video iPod to test with, but I think your only option is to sync everything you want onto your iPod, and then turn off sync completely, in favor of manual updates.

ITunes, iPad, Remote app Home Sharing Problems. Please help!

So I have my 13" Macbook Pro with the latest version of iTunes installed (10.5.2)
I also have a 32GB Wifi iPad 2 with iOS (5.0.1) with the Remote app installed.
I am so frustrate with this stupid Home Sharing. I followed the directions the app gave me beginning with turning on Home Sharing on iTunes on my MacBook with my account. I then used the same account to turn on Home Sharing on my iPad from the Remote app. I wait a bit, and wait some more, and yet my iTunes library isn't shown in my Remote app like it is in my iPhone.
I've tried to find the answer to my problem via Google and these Apple Support Communities, but with no fix.
I wish you could just connect your device to the computer and punch in the 4-digit code like they used to have you do.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Try turning Home Share off then on on the MacBook Pro and then check Remote App to see if now appears and you can connect - for me it works but eventually I will have to repeat the process to get it working again.
The four digit code method still works.
OS 10.7.3, iTunes 10.6.1 and iOs 5.1.1

HELP! My iTunes & iPod don't have option for VIDEO???

I have a 30gb iPod and the latest version of iTunes 6.03 (something like that). I downloaded a tv show from iTunes so I can try to put it in the ipod... When I plug it in, the Music and Pictures update by itself BUT the VIDEO doesn't update to the ipod at all eventho the box is checked..
1.)So I go to Edit> Prefferences> Ipod tab. It doesn't give me an option for VIDEO. It only says Music, Podcasts, Photos, Contacts, and Calendars. So I'm stuck right there.
2.) I tried to Click and Drag to my ipod but it doesn't let me do that either. I can drag it anywhere except to my ipod =(
3.) I tried to Right Click on the tv show> Get Info> Option>
(I read that you have to change the Video Kind to anything other than [Tv Shows]. I tried to do that but it doesn't give me that option. I can't select to change it. It's stuck on [Tv Shows])
4.) I even tried to Restore my ipod 2 times. It's a waste of time.
I think my main problem is that I don't have the Video option on my iPod or iTunes eventho I restored and updated 2 times. Maybe if I can figure out how to get the Video option on there then I can figure out how to put the videos on my ipod!
CAN Someone PLEASE HELP ME????

There isn't a "video" option for iTunes, so you can scratch that from your list of concerns.
Huh? What's this a picture of?
Syncing videos to your iPod
and my stuff all plays and transfers just fine.
And you get it onto the iPod how?

TS1205 My iPhone 4S doesn't even show the sound bar. Even if I go into music, there's no sound bar at the bottom. What's wrong?

I admit, I did drop my phone into a cup of juice, but only up to the home button was submerged. From then the sound wasn't working. I put it in a cup of rice, and the sound resumed working again, but soon after it stopped working again. Not only is it not working, but sound bar isn't even displayed. When you press the side bars nothing happens, when you go to music there's no volume bar at the bottom of the page, but my ringtone continues to work. Is there anything I need to do to fix it, or should I buy a new iPhone all together?

Did you try to reset your iPhone? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears.

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
