Updated to itunes 9:  now Airtunes won't connect,

I unfortunately do not recall the last version of itunes I had.... it wasn't very old though.
The only reason I updated to 9 last night was the itunes store forced me to in order to get a new episode. Anyways...
after the update, upon starting iTunes, i get this dialogue:
"The software required for communication with this ipod is not installed correctly...."
Then it asks me if I want it to repair. I say yes and it supposedly repairs it. If I restart itunes, it will say this error every single time.
I also cannot connect to my Airpor Express as a speaker output. it is listed, and when I select it, it brings up the 'connecting' dialogue which goes on FOREVER until I cancel it. ***?!?
I've uninstalled itunes, apple application support AND apple mobile device support and reinstalled itunes. I've unplugged the airport express; re-configured it using the Airport utility, updated the firmware and still I have both of these problems after all this.
WHY OH WHY did itunes make my update to download new store episodes...
Can anybody help me diagnose this?
Thanks
Ryan

Actually it's quite helpful... the more people who confirm there is an issue the better... maybe apple will take it more seriously.
I called apple support yesterday and they tried to pin the issue on anything/everything related to my setup, didn't even give consideration to the fact there might be an itunes 9 bug. To be fair they are probably just going through all the steps first....
They suggested I disable the wireless on my Linksys WT45G since I'm only using it for wired connections, which I did to no avail. My setup goes ATT DSL modem > Linksys WT45G (PC wired to this) > Airport Extreme Base > Airport Express, only the Express is wireless (using the 3 ports on the extreme for other stuff).
They asked me to try plugging the extreme and airport in a different room as if this is somehow wireless interference. Nevermind the fact I'm currently on my wife's laptop with 8.2.1 and I can connect to the Airport Express with absolutely no problem.
Going to call them back and be adamant that this is in no way an issue with my setup, its an issue with itunes 9!
Out of curiosity, is anybody having this issue connecting their Express with ethernet instead of wireless? That's about the only thing I haven't tried yet but will today... but like I said I'm already using all 3 wired ports on the extreme.

  • I just updated my itunes and now it won't open.

    I've been having multiple problems with my computer, every time it asks me to update I do. But when i updated my itunes about a week ago while it was re importing all my files it closes and says :
    The application iTunes quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the 3ivxVideoCodec plug-in.
    then it asks me if i want to relaunch report or ignore, so the first time i clicked ignore, then this kept happening, finally i reported it, and i've been getting ****** cause nothing is working and i would appreciate it if i could get some help and get my iMac running smothly with no problems again!
    so please help.

    Try opening iTunes in "Safe Mode" (without external plug-ins) and see it the problem persists. To do this press Command+Option (while opening iTunes).
    If you decide to remove a plug-in, they are in your Library folder -> iTunes folder -> iTunes Plug-Ins.

  • Updated to ios6 and now iPhone4 won't connect to itunes

    I recently updated my iPhone 4 to ios6, and now when I connect to itunes it says ,"The iPhone “_____’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    My itunes is currently 10.6 (40), and when I check if theres an update it says, "This version of iTunes (10.6) is the current version."
    I have a 13" white macbook (I don't think apple sells it anymore). Software: Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
    According to my software update, it is currently up to date ("Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time.")
    I tried downloading itunes 7, but says I can't ("This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later.")
    How much would the software update to 10.6.8 cost? And what are the steps to doing it?
    Thank you.

    No - I updated my iphone last week to ios 6 and now when I use my phone in my car to listen to my music on the iphone it says 'no directory...'.  I tried another iphone, just updated, and it said the same thing - then I asked if I could use a iPod, it's the old version ios 5 and it worked fine. 

  • Hello, I have windows 7, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7(windows error 126) when I tried to update my itunes. Now it won't open. Does anyone have a remedy? And when I try to uninstall it says that the file cant be found.

    Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
    1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
    2) Restarted computer and still got error message
    3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
    4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
    5) Restarted computer.
    6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
    No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try.

  • I updated my itunes, and now it won't launch.

    i click on the itunes shortcut on my desktop, or the button in my programs list, and it just makes the hourglass thing for like two seconds, and then nothing happens. so in otherwords, itunes doesn't open, i've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, but that didn't work either. any suggestions on what to do?

    I have the same problem, but not only won't iTunes 7 launch, but my HP Photosmart all-in-one printer (on my LAN) freezes, with buttons flashing and a cryptic error message, whenever I try to launch iTunes!
    I have found that if I turn off my printer, then I can launch iTunes 7 and it works fine, but I cannot use the printer AND use iTunes at the same time.
    Is this weird or what??? Anybody have any ideas on what might be causing this? HP printer support was no help.

    Hi Tom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I experience no problems accessing my external speakers via iTunes/Airport Express. With that said:
    - have you tried resetting your Airport Express unit using the AirPort Admin Utility application in your Utility folder?
    - did you "repair permissions" via disk utility in your Utility folder after the 7.0.1 update.
    - confirming you updated Quicktime to 7.1.3.
    - confirming too there was no installation problem with iTunes 7, QT, or 7.0.1
    One other possibility is to move to the desktop your iTunes preference file (com.apple.itunes.plist) and restart iTunes.
