Trouble with iTunes-Quicktime-Os X upgrade

I recently bought a used iMac. When trying to install Firefox i get the message that i need the latest MacOsX, trying to upgrade OsX i need the latest version of iTunes, tyring to start iTunes i´m told i need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. Then i buy Quicktime Pro 7, but still iTunes will not start and continue asking for Quicktime 7.5.5 or later.
I have a MacBook Pro with all the latest software, but i guess i cant transfer i to my iMac.
What to do ?

In order to get current, you need to buy Snow Leopard 10.6.x, this is still available from Apple's online store. IT IS NOT SOLD IN STORES!!!
Next you will need to update SL to version 10.6.8, you can use Apple 10.6.8 update combo to do this.
Next using the Mac App Store upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.5. This is assuming your iMac has the system requirements to run ML, which are:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later 
2GB of memory 
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. 
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. when I open up itunes, it seems to just sit there, never going to itunes store. when I connect my ipad, I check update and it starts, but then I get this message:backup can't be saved on

    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?

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

  • 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,

  • I am having trouble with Itunes registering the Mp4 video that has been converted.  Help!!

    I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted.  Help!

    What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
    Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
    On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
    Can you import it to computer iTunes?

    Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song.  It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white.  It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Trouble with wifi after IOS 6 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4 and successfully installed iOS 6 today.  I am having trouble getting on my home wifi.  When asked to join my network, I click on it and type in my password.  Shortly after typing in my correct password an apple.com login page loads from the bottom of the iPhone but says "hmm, the page you're looking for cant be found".  The only option I have is to push cancel and then it ends my wifi connection with my own home network.  Help please.

  • 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

  • Troubles with Tunes (+ QuickTime) 6 for Windows

    Impossible to update to, install or reinstall the latest version of iTunes (+ Quicktime).
    I always receive the following error messages:
    - with iTunesSetup, the InstallShield Wizard gives:
    - when repairing => error -3
    - when removing + reinstalling => error -3
    and afterwards restarting iTunes => error - 2093
    - with QuickTimeInstaller, the Installshield Wizard gives:
    - when installing => error - 1603
    So, I don't succeed to reinstall both programs iTunes and QuickTime and I have no longer access to my music.
    Who can solve this problem. Wherefore thanks in advance.

    Eve, you win HANDS DOWN for the funkiest name that I have ever witnessed!!!!
    I hope that I can come through for you after you blew me away with that moniker! Here is a post that I added two weeks ago. It includes a solution that worked for me. I hope that it works for you! Good luck.
    Hey troubled Podheads,
    I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
    Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
    Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
    Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!
