Trouble with itunes after adding new nano
I've had an ipod mini for some time and had no troubles. I just got a new 8gb nano and installed it (The latest version of itunes was already installed and working with my old mini). Itunes recognises both ipods (I gave them seperate names) and I have no trouble syncing either one, each with it's own individual content (was actually impressed with how it mannaged two distinct ipods). The trouble is that I can no longer use itunes to play my music on my computer. When I select a song it plays properly for about 2 min. then becomes choppy at the same time itunes becomes unresponsive and is difficult to shut down. I've reinstalled itunes 7 using the repair feature and then the uninstall/reinstall no change. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Likly a issue with your quicktime,
1) Update your sound card/audio device by going to the PC makers site and seeing if there is an update for your model.
2) In WIndows goto control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode (Waveout Only)" hit OK then reboot the PC for the settings to take

Did anyone have trouble with iTunes after the recent update?
My music and playlists were wiped out. THen I tried to sync my iPhone and it tried to wipe out everything on there with the new iPhone software update.
Typically one buys an external hard drive and at regular intervals you copy the contents of your main hard drive to the external hard drive in case something happens to the contents on the internal drive. That is a backup. There is software to facilitate this, including Time Machine which is part of the system software OSX 10.5 on. If you don't have this then it's like owning a house without insurance.
An external drive costs around $100 so it is cheap given the high degree of inconvenience caused by losing the contents on your main drive. Your main drive will fail at some stage and then you lose everything, 100%.
If your library truly is gone then you will have to start over. iTunes is not supposed to erase it when updating but it does happen occasionally which is why you always make sure your backup is up to date before updating software. If your items are purchased from Apple you may be able to download them again. If it came from another source then you will have to turn to that source.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
(I'm not sure if the below is still the same with iTunes 11)
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes( iTunes11: Button at top right).
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

Troubles with Ipod after installing new software
After installing the new software on my Ipod Mini 4GB, it won't charge, or at least, it sais it won't.
I have a USB power adapter, and I charged my Ipod all night. This morning, I STILL got this
http://www.sharksdiest.com/stephane/ipod.jpg ...
I already tried to reset the Ipod several times...I tried to connect it to my PC (Windows XP), but also that didn't work, so I can't install other software.
Does anybody thinks he/she has a solution? Should I go to the store (I already send them an e-mail several minutes ago). Or is my Ipod dead, and should I buy a new one?
Thx for your helpUsually this is because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try again in 20 minutes or so.

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes
Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.
If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database. -

Note. Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.
I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store. When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del. When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway. I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
Cheers for now,

this worked perfectly for me, with no loss of library! BUT was warned about uninstalling things in the order listed...FYI. -

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.
The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?You might not have enough space left on your hardrive.
