Today, I spent two hours talking online with a Genius because I had the same problem. I even tried downgrading to older versions. It still didn't work. I didn't have iTunes for a little while. Here is the solution...go to this link and follow the instructions. <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US> You need to uninstall *ALL PROGRAMS RELATED TO APPLE ON YOUR COMPUTER*. This would include Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Support Update, Bonjour, Safari (if you have it), iTunes, and QuickTime. If I missed any programs then post another reply telling people what to uninstall. Just follow all the steps for each uninstallation process. After you have uninstalled EVERYTHING, download the latest version of iTunes and it should work. I'm sorry if this is troubling to any of you. It stinks that you have to reinstall ALL those programs. It works though. Repost this ANYWHERE YOU SEE THIS QUESTION ABOUT UPGRADING ITUNES ON WINDOWS. Thanks!

  • Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • Itunes Radio choppy or hard to play after upgrading to an itunes match account?

    Hello friends,
    am seeking some help since I have no idea what might be causing the issue. I've been working on this during my freetime for quite a while, but I'm stumped. Hoping some of you can help me.
    Basically, Itunes Radio (and my match songs for that matter) are having a hard time playing on my iPhone 5c, which has recently been updated to ios 8.1. The iphone is a 32GB phone and has plenty of space for apps and third party music players but it is not so great for a huge library. But, the main reason I upgraded to an itunes match account was because of the ability to play itunes radio without any commercials. Well, there's no commercials... but i'm also unable to play itunes radio on my iphone. It plays just fine on my Macbook Pro (2010), with an updated yosemite but whenever I try to play a radio or song from my itunes match library it goes for about 30s, then just...stops, goes 30s ... then stops. So basically, it SOUNDS like an internet connection issue.... but.... well, let me list the things i've already tried.
    -- power cycle (slide to power off); same thing
    -- hard restart (power + home button at the same time); same thing
    -- updated the device; same thing
    -- reset network settings; same thing
    -- reset ALL settings; same thing
    -- restored device to factory settings; same thing
    -- different wifi; same thing
    -- using cellular data; same thing (lasts longer, though...interestingly enough).
    -- turning itunes match on/off; same thing
    -- deleting & syncing itunes match; same thing.
    -- restore device & set up as new; same thing (worked for about 2 songs).
    -- changed all songs to AACC format; same thing
    (same thing = same symptoms, in case you didn't catch that. ;-) )
    I am out of ideas at this point. Anybody want to throw anything at me? I'm seriously willing to try ANYTHING that doesn't require me to wait.
    Should note that I use comcast as my internet provider, we have several internet boosters in the house (hence multiple wifi.... my father needs wifi for work so we have a backup plan for the back up plan) and I have recently gotten in contact with comcast for an unrelated netflix issue.

    Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
    Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
    Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
    or this,
    Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
    Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
    Please let me know if it works.

  • Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows.  Rebooted the PC as required.  When I bring up iTunes I get a pop message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)".  What does that mean?

    Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows.  Rebooted the PC as required after the update.  When I start iTunes I get a popup message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)."
    What does it mean?
    How do I fix it?
    Thanks!

    Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

  • I plugged my ipod touch into my laptop and started to down load an (1) upgrade.  But Itunes says that the upgrade will take two hours.  I started the down load and it started and stoped and eventualy never complerted the down load.  How can I fix this ?

    I plugged my Ipod touch into my Dell laptop and went to Itunes.  Itunes told me I should down load an upgrade, so I did.  Itunes said the down load would take two hours.  I started the down load, but after two + hours (&longer) , after several starts and stops the down load never completed. 
    I recently got a (fake anti virus) virus and it damaged my computer.  I got it fixed and reinstalled the software and it appears to be working correctly. Could this be the part of the problem ?
    Would it help if I reloaded the Itunes (off an external HD) or downloaded it again from Itunes ?
    Thanks

    I doubt it.  For my updates, it has typically taken me many tries/retries.  Like for you, the download would stop.  and I would have to restart from the beginning.  If you get a network timed out error try disabling the security software on your computer.

  • Please help! I am trying to upgrade an old itunes to 10.7 version. I am getting a message "This app has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. What do I need to do to get the new version to operate on my vista 32 bit operating system?

    I am have problems upgrading my old itunes system to the 10.7 version.  I have downloaded w10.7 to my desk top.  However, when I try to install it, it seems to be installing for a while, then I get a message box that says: "The system administrator has set plicies to provent this installation"....  Can you help me get it installed...
    Thanks,

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate your taking the time to help me with this problem.  I'm doing a healing technician training class at my church, and have most of my study material on my ipod.  It cashed this weekend which hindered my preparation for my class tomorrow night.  I went to the local "Apple Store" late last night and they could get me up and running.   They suggested that I call the APL CARD line which I did today, but they gave me a nice run around seccession, and did nothing.  Then I was lead to "Google" my question, which eventually lead me to the "Apple" site.  Praise the LORD for your help and may you be richly blessed with multiplied blessings in all that you put your hands to do.  May you receive a great harvest.  As far as I'm concerned you were used by the LORD, and are the real genius!!!

  • Since upgrade ios  and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad

    Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right.  Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in  again of home share on iPad and MacBook  as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing.  It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • I´ve bought Iwork suite for my mac book pro in a retail store, 2/3 years ago, can I made any upgrade version through Itunes without paying any additional fee?

    I´ve bought Iwork suite for my mac book pro in a retail store, 2/3 years ago, can I made any upgrade version through Itunes without paying any additional fee?
    Someone could assit me on this particular issue?
    regards

    When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
    You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.  
    Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

    I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."
    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.
    ~~~
    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components

  • IPod changed after upgrade to new iTunes

    After upgrading to latest iTunes, there were some changes to my iPod that I hate. All of my songs that were numbered or had numbers in the title are not at the bottom of the songs list instead of being the first songs listed. This is also the same for my videos. And my videos that were pretty clear are now are kind of fuzzy. These were videos that were converted into mp4 format, and most of them were downloaded from YouTube. I wonder does this have anything to do w/ the face that you can download videos from YouTube onto that **** iPhone. Oh, and the other night I had to reset my iPod and a Check with "Disk Mode" or "Now in Disk Mode" popped up. I honestly don't remember putting my iPod into disk mode. It's nothing serious, but it is just really annoying. So how do I fix this, or should I just go back to the previous iTunes?

    "All of my songs that were numbered or had numbers in the title are not at the bottom of the songs list instead of being the first songs listed."
    I assume you meant to say "now" at the bottom of the list?
    Unfortunately, like it or not this how the latest version of iTunes sorts songs. Numbers now appear at the end of the listings.

    Nothing happened to it.
    It is still there.  Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.

  • Upgrade to latest Itunes created havoc with my library!

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? I upgraded to latest Itunes and about 800 of my songs lost their association from the computer to the library and the songs wouldn't play. With more investigation, many are purchases saved on the cloud or CDs I imported but they must be stored on the cloud because there are no files on my computer so I had to reload a ton of music. Also had to delete purchased songs from my library to allow me to re-download them, another time consuming activity that I didn't plan to spend my time on today. Wondering if others are also having this problem and how to communicate it to Apple so they are aware?  Happy holidays.

  • Upgrade Charge for iTunes Plus Songs

    Doesn't anyone feel Apple is doing a disservice to its loyal customers for charging another $.30 for upgrading songs to iTunes Plus when others can get the same songs in the higher quality for the price we originally paid? It seems unfair but I'm not sure how others feel and how we can provide our collective feedback to Apple.

    itunes menu > help > Provide itunes feedback
    I don't really care. The original songs sounded fine to me for several years.
    This upgrade is just marketing to make you want it.
    Although I do think getting rid of the DRM is the way to go, it really doesn't matter since I've burned the older songs to an audio CD and can use them how I want.
