Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.5 and not Itunes wont install

Hmmm...
I started using my itunes 6.0.4 and it told me a new version was available so I clicked upgrade to 6.0.5 the installation started, removed my old version and now when it goes to install the new versin it just quits and installs nothing.
The installation goes all the way to the end but at the end a windows pops up and tells me that "The Installation was interupted before ITunes could be completely installed". I looked on the support FAQ and all my settings are fine and I am the administrator.....What gives. Not only could I not upgrade but I can no longer us itunes...very fustrating. From the looks of it, many other seem to having similar problems but were able to get around it by using the Quicktime standalone. I tired that but got the same error as I did with iTunes...
Any ideas anyone?

Ok I figured it out and finally after the 76th installation of iTunes/QuickTime I got it to work. Here is what I did, for me It acutally was a combination of several other threads. When I tried each one on their own, it did not work. Once I did them all...it did. Perhaps the difference with me is that I was running Windows One Care Live + Windows Defender (antivirus + antispyware + firewall)
Anyway, If anyone else is having this problem hope this helps. I am using Windows XP Professional (I dont if it will work/applies to XP Home but I would guess all but item 1 below would)
1. Read the support article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300361
On Windows XP sp2 it wont actually let you do what the article describes...or on my installation it wouldn't. So I just logged on as the Windows Adminstrator on my domain controller and and added to my domain security policy (then removed this setting it after I finally got itunes installed sucessfully).
Reboot (uggg)
2. Read the support article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
Since I was having problems with Both new versions (6.0.5) of the installer for QuickTime AND iTunes I justed deleted everything under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer instead of just the files it tells you to. Since nothing was working i figured what the heck.
Reboot (uggg)
3. Just in the event my antivirus was silently preventing the install I turned everything off by using the view/change settings option in Windows Live OneCare app (double click on the icon in the taskbar). Here is the kicker....when I tured that off, it still left things running!!!! What the heck is that.
Anyway So I went to Start->Settings->control panel->Administrative Tools and ran the services app. I scrolled down and manually stopped the Windows firewall, Windows Defender, and Windows Live OneCare services. To stop you just left click and highlight the service you want to stop then click the stop button at the top of that window (next to the play button)
(NOTE if I left those running I still had hang problems in the install...believe me I tried and failed, must acutally turn those off manually)
4. Install the Standalone QuickTime new version:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Reboot (uggg)...It worked!!!
5. Install the new version of iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Reboot (uggg)...It worked!!!
6. Now that everything was running I went back into the windows live onecare view/change settings by double clicking on the icon in the taskbar and restarted my windows antivirus, firewall, and antispyware.
Rebooted (grrr) and computer is running normally again.
Well thats what I did and everything worked fine and my Ipods are all happy now. If this works for you gimmie a "Amen brother".
Peace
Dell Windows XP Pro Windows One Care Live also running

Firefox would not connect after upgrade. Did system restore (XP) and not firefox wont even start

Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start

Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
* [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
* [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
A couple of other suggestions:
(1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
(2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card

How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card
My ipod told me that i had to put in a credit card and because of that i put in my moms wit her permission. but the thing is i do not want to use the money on her credit card. i hav a 10 dollar itunes gift card in it already and none of it is used up. i want to use that money
how do i do it

Open iTunes on your computer. In the iTunes Store log into your iTunes Store account and view your account. Select Edit Payment Information. In the credit card choices I would choose None. That will remove your Mom's CC info. Next under iTunes Gift Cards and Certificates click the little arrow to redeem your Gift Card. Then follow the instrction to redeem your GC.
You can also do this on your iPod, but it is more complicated to describe how to do it and to actually do it. It is easier to do in the iTunes on your computer.

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

After I install Itunes 10.5.2 and open itunes a window opens stating another program is not allowing itunes to burn cd's. Next, I get an error window stating itunes 42404 is missing. I've uninstalled itunes 3 times and re-installed. No luck.

After I install iTunes 10.5.2 and open iTunes a window opens stating "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." This happens everytime.
After that on one occasion a window stated "Itunes msi) was missing. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling that disapeared. Now I get a window stating, (A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Itunes.(_42404)"

To fix registry, refer to this article:

Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3716
This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,
Jeremy

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

I upgraded my Iphone 4 to os7 and not all of my application icons are visible. They can be found by searching. How do I put them back on my desk top?

I upgraded my Iphone 4 to os7 and not all of my application icons are visible. I can locate them using the search feature but I would like to have the icons visible on my screen for imediate access. So how do I do this?

They got pushed to another page of the Home screen. Scroll from left to right to find them. You can then move them to where you want them.

Lost album covers from amazon and not itunes store?

lost some of my album covers since transfer of library to new computer. how do i get it back as some music was purchased through amazon and not itunes store?

If it's a relatively small number of songs, select the song or songs (with missing album artwork) in the iTunes music library listing. Right-click on the selected song(s) and select Get Album Artwork.
If you want iTunes to go through your entire music library, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar. From the menu bar, under the Advanced menu, select Get Album Artwork. Don't do it this way, if you have some albums where you added artwork that you selected yourself, because they may get replaced.
It does not matter if a song was purchased in the iTunes Store, ripped from CD, or purchased at Amazon (or elsewhere). If the song can be identified as a song in the iTunes Store database, it will get the artwork for it.
Some artwork may not be available. In that case you can add your selection. A good way to do it, if the songs came from Amazon, is to find the song or album at Amazon. On the web page for the song or album, click-hold-drag the image (of the album artwork) from the browser window to the iTunes window, and drop it where the album artwork normally appears. NOTE: You can do this for multiple songs at one time.

Same issue here both with my iphone 5S as well as my iPad2. THe sync to my macbook air does not complete and it shows a large overcapacity level when connected, but once I disconnect there is plenty of room (4 GB) available, not a 20 GB overage.

I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.
