Updated iTunes to 11.4 iMessage Quit Working

I just updated my iTunes to 11.4 and instantly my iMessage quit working on my MacBook Pro...anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?
When I go to iMessage>Preferences>Accounts there is nothing in the password field. I enter my apple id password and it tells me:
Your Apple ID *****@****.com can't be used to set up iMessage at this time.
If this is a new Apple ID, you do not need to create another one. To use this Apple ID with iMessage, contact iMessage support with the code below.
I have been using iMessage for years without a problem until today after doing the iTunes update.
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

I tried your suggestion with my iPhone and it fixed the connection problem for the iPhone. So then I tried the same thing with my iPod but Windows told me that the driver was up to date. The iPod still will not connect to iTunes 11.4.1. Any other ideas?
See the further information section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The link there on device connectivity might help, or you might need to tear down and rebuild again.

I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

After i updated to ios6 my keyboard shortcuts quit working, how do i fix it

after i updated to ios6 my keyboard shortcuts quit working. how do i fix it

Try this fix:
Set Documents & Data to Off in iCloud Options
Go to Keyboard Shortcuts & delete existing shortcuts
DO NOT NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE SHORTCUTS MENU
Hold down the power button to shutdown phone
Power phone back up
Create a new Shortcut (In my case the old ones were gone but the ones I was attempting to test with came back)
Test the new Shortcut
Rebuild remainder of Shortcuts
Set Documents & Data to On in iCloud Options
Enjoy
I tried all the other solutions I could find and non worked. So I started playing and this worked for myself and a coworker.
Initially my Shortcuts were just in a list form. After performing the procedure above and recreating them they're now listed in alphabetical order with an alphabet selector list just like Contacts on the right. Been working for quite a few days now.
Hope this helps...!!!

My iMessage quit working on my iPad 2. I can only receive messages. I used to be able to send and receive.

My iMessage quit working on my iPad 2. I can receive messages but not reply. Can anyone help?

How long has it been going on? Both of my yahoo accounts have messed up, but it's something on yahoo's end. I just had to wait a day or so for it to resolve itself.
If that doesn't work, have you tried to delete and then readd the accounts?

Imessage quit working

Imessage quit working on my imac out of the blue, gives me an error to check the network however the network is working fine any help?

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 6
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 7
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 8
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 10
Reinstall OS X.
Step 11
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

My imessage quit working. We have done complete resets and even started a new itunes account but still nothing. Also noticing that under the send

My imessage suddenly quit working. We have done resets and restored it and still nothing. Even created a new Apple ID but have noticed that in the send & received part of settings, it does not show my phone number, only my email address!! Never had a problem before today!

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

I attempted to update itunes (Windows 7) it didn't work, after several tries I uninstalled itunes completely, and now I cannot get it to reinstall correctly. help?

Had issues upon updating iTunes to newest version (11).
The display settings were not working, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 Service Pack 2, which i'm currently running.
Still had major issues, couldn't click anywhere on the iTunes window, the only thing I could click was file but even then the dropdown menu wasn't working correctly.
I tried several times to adjust my computers' settings to accomodate the new version, and still nothing worked.
I got fed up, and uninstalled the lastest version and now I am having trouble reinstalling.
I tried the latest version a few more times, and now when I click download on the site link, it doesn't even prompt the download window in Mozilla.
It doesn't create a location anywhere within my computer either.
I downloaded 10.7 in hopes of that maybe working, I figured because I haven't updated the iOS on my phone, and my computer is still a little behind that this might help, but it says,
"itunes library.itl cannot be read" and something to do with having a new version of the file already.
I just want to have some version of itunes on here, I still have Bonjour, though I think with the issues I am having the Software update must be gone along with any itunes program I previously had.
I cannot restore any previous versions because I haven't backed it up on to anything for quite some time.
I just want to manage my iPhone 4 again, and this is driving me nuts.
Any help is very appreciated,
thanks for reading.

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

Vista - Updating iTunes Library Error, Freeze, Blue Screen - Work Around?!

I may have a solution & partial root cause for the "Update iTunes Library" freeze / blue screen issue.
Details:
- I've been running Windows Vista since its release.
- iTunes worked fine under Vista since my XP->Vista clean install.
- I updated to iTunes version 7.1.1.5 a month ago and the problem started.
- After installation, iTunes tried to update the Library and after a minute or two, it hung and then went to a blue screen. I restarted iTunes MANY times over the month and tried to re-install it - nothing worked.
Solution? (for me anyway)
Recall that when you log into Vista, even if you're the only user, you DO NOT have administrator privilages. You are only granted those AFTER a request and authorization (I think this is where iTunes hangs). Now, this solution might be a stretch, but iTunes worked after I stumbled across this. I took two steps and am not sure which or if the combination worked...
- I was working with system commands that required administrator authorization. So the system prompted me, as it does everything, and I was granted them. Was this key? I don't know.
- I also copied the iTunes Library to my Desktop, started iTunes and let it create a new, blank, iTunes Library. I closed iTunes and copied my old iTunes Library file back from the Dekstop.
When I restarted iTunes, it started to update the iTunes Library and this time it completed successfully.
Not taking anything for granted, I did a shutdown/restart to make sure it was clean.
- I did run into a blue screen AGAIN at shutdown. But this time it rebooted clean and iTunes has been running perfectly for 3 days.
I hope this helps someone!

what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

When I update Itunes, I am told to quit itunes. But it's not open

I cannot update Itunes or Garage band, becuase i get an alert saying that itunes must be closed first. However, it's not open. Nor is itunes helper open (as I closed it in the utility monitor).
Can anyone assist?
thanks

Thanks, but that wasn't it.
I finally figured it out. We have two accounts on this Apple Mac. And evn though the other account was logged out, it had Itunes Helper opened on it.
SO the resolution is to look through all accounts on the Mac and make sure all instances of Itunes (including Itunes helper through the Activity Monitor) are closed. Then the updates work.
Ahhhh. At last.

Had itunes then one day it quit working, now all i get when i open is this:itunes has quit working box

My son received a laptop for christmas last december..Itunes has worked on it up until about a month ago. Now the program states this: Itunes has quit working- we have uninstalled and reinstalled earlier verions as well as the new version. they all go through the process but when it finalizes and we open it says the same thing. under the details of the error we get all this stuff:
Problem signature:
problem Event Name:
APPCRASH
Application Name:itunes.exe
Application Version: 10.6.3.25
It goes on forever with a list of code. We have even tried to the the winsock reset and nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we need to do? We have done everything the apple support site has stated but nothing seems to work. I hate to think we has lost all his purchased music etc over this. HELP!

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

HELP!! Updated iTunes and now it won't work

I just updated itunes & quicktime. I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do. It tells me to reinstall which I've done 3 times.
Help!!!
Thank you!

hello Illinois!
I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do.
hmmm. is that message saying that you have 7.0d0 installed?
if so, what we're going to try is a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install. (that's the version of QT which you are supposed to be getting in an itunes 6.0.2.23, 6.0.3.5 or, as of this afternoon, an itunes 6.0.4.2 installer bundle.)
download and save the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if the standalone QT install goes through okay, will your itunes launch properly?
