Upgrade to itunes removes last 6 months of apps and podcasts

Since the itunes update from June or July 2011, my itunes reverts to the same 130 podcasts I had at that time anytime I have to turn itunes off or we get a new upgrade, such as the one this week. Also, does not recognize any new apps or app updates since then. Each time I turn it off or update it, I have to sync to find my current podcasts, get rid of the old ones, and update apps; we are up to 43 apps that need updating each time this happens. I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

You need to have two separate iTunes Store accounts, one in the UK iTunes Store and one in the US iTunes Store. To set this up will require having two different email addresses and either two credit cards, one issued in each country, or the use of prepaid iTunes cards issued in the appropriate country.
Otherwise, it is possible to change the country of the iTunes Store (again assuming you have a UK and a US credit card), but it would be rather awkward at best to do this multiple times per year and may even be rejected after a change or two. Better to have two separate accounts, I think.
Regards.

There is no such thing as Windows for Mac. Windows is Windows and you can install it on a Windows computer or on an Apple computer. Once installed it will work until you remove it.

Since I updated my itunes the last two times my computer and my ipad will hardly communicate. I have a Toshiba Satelite with 32 bit os

I have a Toshiba Satelite with a 32 bit os and since I updated my itunes the last tow times the ipad and computer will barely communicate. Many time itunes will just lock up. any suggestions?

If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and Ipod will not sync

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and iPod are no longer recognized by iTunes when plugged into my Windows 8.1 PC? I have re-downloaded itunes and re-intalled/repaired the program but still will recognize the two. This has never been an issue before have always sync the two and the only change has been the most recent upgrade of itunes?

I had to set up an admin user account on my pc after trying to restore my phone after ios 7 nearly broke my pc. I used the admin account to delete all apple stuff as instructed and installed 11.1.4. Hate the new look and all that was left was some old stuff i had bought on itunes.Anything less than about 2 years old and my extensive vinyl library i had uploaded all gone. i back up every week. i found some music in the recycle bin and it took hours to restore that but i was still missing loads. I plugged in my 3rd gen touch. All my sync settings were gone and it would not let me change them, it was all unticked so sync wiped my touch. i tried again but still wouldn't let me select anything and said duplicate names were specified, my options were to erase the touch, overwrite the library on the pc or cancel. So a disaster. Then I logged in under my usual user id where i had failed to download the new itunes and my old library still existed - shame i cannot back up or sync anymore here either. The only thing i could do was restore my wiped touch as i still had a back up left here. whenever i plug in i get the duplicate names specified message erase or cancel and i can't change the settings which are all unticked here too. I think itunes can see my admin account library and my usual account library and can see they are not the same and this is the duplicate names problem
i would like to know how i can get my music out of itunes safely on to my computer so i can play it on something other than itunes.
Unfortunately my iphone is on orange so i am cursed with that too and their latest service issues have destroyed my battery. I can't get a new phone though becuase i won't be able to restore to get my stuff on to new phone becuase of this duplicate names error.
Apple have really messed things up for me - please can you tell me how to get my music out in a format that will play on other players and i suppose i will just have to write off the £50 credit i have in tunes but i cannot carry on with these disasters and apples indifference

I've upgraded to itunes 11.1.4 Now my ipod and my wife's will not connect/ sync. Itunes says it can detect an ipod but it can't be identified correctly. I have uninstalled and re installed ITunes but it still doesn't work

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see the following. This will get the iPod like it was when the backup was made. This is you only possible way of getting your information back since when the iPod is in recovery mode (the screen show conect to iTunes) the iPod is already erased.
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

All my music and podcasts synced through iTunes are scrambled up. The songs and podcasts start in the middle and skip around. It happends on 3 diffrent Windows computers with 2 diffrent iPhone 4's.

Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
Like I said all songs and podcasts start like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

Removing "last 12 months" album

So, I've noticed that my iPhone and iPad have a folder in the Photos app labled "Last 12 Months" with one picture in it that is apparently from my mac desktop. I deleted this photo from my mac MONTHS ago yet its still apearing on both my iPad and iPhone within that folder. I checked iPhoto to make sure it wasn't still in that program and sure enough, it WASN'T. How do I either remove this folder or delete the photo (neither my iPhone or iPad give me that option for photos in this album)??

You can remove the album from the left hand pane by setting the number of months to 0 in iPhoto's General preferences pane.
Have you tried changing the dates with the option to change the original files? Then export the original files out of iPhoto and reimport them. See if that will get the correct dates.

Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.5 sound now clicks and pops.

I've been using iTunes 6 happily up until yeasterday when I was prompted to upgrade to 6.0.5. I did this and now the sound of all of my purchased music is like an old scratched vinyl LP. At regular intervals there are clicks and pops in the music.
This did not happen until I upgraded. Strangely if I play the same tracks in QuickTime Player rather than in iTunes they pay without faults. I've tried changing settings to Safe Mode (waveOut only)and it makes no difference to the quality of the playback.
So, is there any way to revert to the old iTunes installation or is there a fix for 6.0.5?
FWIW, QuickTime Player isn't much of a solution since it doesn't support playlists.

just checking. have you tried working through the other possibilities (apart from the QT sound out settings) from this document?

I get Blackberry 9800 and using last 18 months.Now lock and unlock not working I am in India No chance to repair in India since get out side

I am using blckberry 9800 for the last 18 months.Now it is not woring lock and unlock .I contact all dealers in India and they told they are unable to service and repair since I purchased from out side India.I purchased from Dubai .What shall I do please

No matter where you purchased it, it's beyond the one-year warranty. To repair it would probably cost more than it would to replace it with a new phone (even if it's a used phone and new to you).
I hope that helps you.
