TP2GO Revisit: I need to upgrade iTunes. PLEASE HELP!
TP,
A few week ago, in response to my original post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=156454&tstart=0), you outlined a procedure to follow to upgrade from iTunes 4.7.1 to 6.0.1. I never did the upgrade since Apple allowed purchases from 4.7.1 again. Now, however, I purchased two nanos for my children for Christmas, so I will finally have to upgrade iTunes.
When I went back to my original message, some of the links in your responses are now broken. If it isn’t too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate it if you could outline the best update procedure again and refresh all of the links.
Thanks,
John

John hello,
1. Go straight to iTunes 6.0.1 there is nothing to be gained by going to 4.9 1st
2. Software Update will install the correct version of Quicktime...7.0.3 or download it from here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
3. This link will determine the correct version to update your iPod
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?linkprocess_@@.68b9fb33
4. Yes, it is a good idea to make a complete backup of the iTunes folder...
Do this, follow the instructions here and do it all... when you download iTunes 6.0.1 you can download and install Quicktime at the same time if you like... when all complete update iPod.
take care John any questions come and ask .... TP

Unable to upgrade iTunes -- please help!
Hi there -
I am having trouble upgrading to iTunes 9.0.2
It comes up with a message saying something along the lines of:
the older version of itunes cannot be removed, please contact tech support
contacting tech support is unfortunately even more long-winded than copying all my music into a new folder, manually deleting all reminents of my old iTunes and then downloading the newest iTunes, so if anyone's got any ideas about what's causing this to happen or any way to fix the problem in a simple way, then all help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Doublechecking the nature of your problem, nikki. Prior to that message, do you also see one saying that the "itunes.msi" file cannot be found? -
hello sir
my system needs itunes64 file i don't know from where i should get this file cuz my iphone 4 is all the time synced with this computer all the back up are in this computer i dont want to lose it coz i did restore once so i dont have all the data in my phone i have it in itunes please help me with itunes 64
thank youBack up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as "Carbon Copy Cloner." Preferably both.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups.
Transfer only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system. Test. If the problem is still there, the cause is external to the machine, or else you're dealing with a bug or a hardware fault.
If the problem is resolved, reinstall your third-party software cautiously. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem. -
I need to upgrade iTunes but my laptop say's it can't because iTunes was improperly installed to begin with. If I uninstall iTunes, will I loose all the work I've put into my downloads and my playlists?

No.
However, you do maintain complete and regular backups of your computer, correct?
For iTunes, the iTunes library is the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder. -

I've just purchased a new iPhone 4, but my Mac's version of iTunes won't support it. I need to upgrade iTunes to the latest version. But, alas, when I downloaded it, my Mac won't support it. My Mac's details are; 10.4.11 Processor Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5. I need to get up to 10.5.
Can I download the higher operating system? If so where from? Or must I buy it from the shops?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Andy.Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.
iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device. -
I have QuickTime Player 7.6.8, I cannot update or remove it b/c I am missing QuickTime.msi file. It is gone and I need it back. Please help.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
I don't know my rescue email and security password.i just added an alternative email address but it doesn't send there....also I just added 25$ on iTunes.please help!
The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
Cheers!
