Volunteer in Uganda struggling for iTunes update, help needed!

I cannot connect my iphone 3GS to the macbook I have been issued with because the version of itunes on it is too old. When I attempt to update it I get a message saying that the server cannot be verified, I select the option to continue anyway only to then by told that the server cannot be contacted.
I am on a satelite uplink system in rural south western Uganda. There is almost no music on this macbook but I have authorised this macbook and I want to sync with it. Any advice?

I think you are stuck for a bit Norman. iTunes 11.1.1 and is not working with my 3GS which can not be updated to iOS 7. You can not get iTunes 11.0.5 as a download from Apple, and it worked fine with the 3GS.
You can use PhoneView from eccam or Senti to copy the music from the iPhone to your Mac, where you should be able to play then through iTunes then.
Either is a lot smaller than an iTunes update, so should help with the satelite link.

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Check for itunes updates automatically

Hi I'd like to roll itunes 7.02 out to my business users as we intend to deliver work related content via podcasts, but I'd like to standardise on a version.
Is there anyway to uncheck the "check for itunes updates automatically" in the general preferences via the registry?
I have looked can can't locate this setting but it must be there somewhere.
Thanks in advance

You have Synergy running? What happens when you don't have it running?
Any utility, whether a widget, an application or whatever, that controls or gets status from iTunes has the potential to launch iTunes when you don't expect. The developers try to ensure it doesn't happen but it can still happen.

I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you

Bonjour won't start for itunes update

I need help with installing itunes update, i get this message every time i try to update or install the new itunes---Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service)failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services--- I go into control panel and Administrative tools, then services and try to start bonjour but it wont start, i then close the update window and it starts but when i update itunes it says it fails to start even if i try to start it manually

At any point when there is a new version of iTunes for upgrade, I upgrade. When iTunes starts after the upgrade, it doesn't see other computers on my network, or our AppleTVs. Bonjour (mDNSResponder.exe) is running, but not working. I either 1) manually shut it down in my Task Manager & try to restart it by double clicking on the *.exe, or 2) stop & restart it in Services.msc. Bonjour still doesn't work in that AppleTVs & computers on our network cannot see each other. No sharing is happening. We stream a lot in our house, and when AppleTV isn't seeing a PC or Mac online, or vice versa, it's a problem (of course).
FYI: Just a few moments ago, I reran the latest iTunes installation file (downloading the exe straight from the Apple site), choosing the "Repair" option. Nothing changed. I should not have to uninstall & reinstall iTunes every time just to get Bonjour to kick in again. It seems that Bonjour never liked an iTunes upgrade, as it stops working & sharing when an upgrade happens.
I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3 with all the latest updates, etc.

Fix for iTunes update 11.1.4 issues

When will there be a fix from Apple for the installing issues with iTunes update 11.1.4?

Hello Weathertop44,
Did you remove iTunes and other Apple components in above given order if no then try doing that. After they are removed from your computer restart your computer once before reinstalling iTunes back on your computer. After you restart your computer locate the iTunes.exe setup file on your computer and right click the file using mouse right key and select the second option which says Run as Administrator (Windows Vista/7/8) or you will see just run as and once you select that you will see the account names and administrator written next to it (Windows xp) if you are already logged in with administrator account then select current account and click ok and start the iTunes installation and if you are not logged in as administrator then enter admin user name and password and click ok to start installation and let that complete. And still if you get an error then please do let us know what is the error code and what all step did you followed.
Note: If you are unable to remove Apple Mobile Device Support then you can skip that, if you see bonjour is in use by some other application then you can click on ignore and continue removing that and if you see that Apple Application Support is in use by Apple Mobile Device Support then choose the first option that you will get and click ok to remove Apple Application support.

Error message for Adobe update helper

Since upgrading to Lion, I get the following message:
You can't open the application Adobe Reader Updater Helper because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I migrated from a PPC Imac to an Intel based i5 in February. But, this error just started after Lion upgrade. How do I stop it from continuing to pop up? Help!

I need to finish the last post. I also migrated a PPC G4 Powerbook running 10.5.8 to a new MBP running 10.7, and got the same Adobe Reader updater helper message mentioned at the beginning of the thread. I did the Adobe Reader install, with no change on the error message, and couldn't find the item to either disable or delete. Any way to get rid of this bogus error?

ITunes + Quicktime help needed!

okay so Quicktime uses up a lot of space on my hard drive and I only have it because its required for iTunes (the only media player I use). My music library is like 30+ gb and since I am a college student with no money to purchase an external harddrive for my 40gb labtop, I am forced to uninstall every program I can (and I've used up all my options)..
SO my question is this: what is the bare minimum tools, software, (whatever), etc. that I need to have in order to satisfy the iTunes requirements? AND is there any way to uninstall the components that I don't need/use? (and I don't need anything video related at all because I obviously don't have space for them anyway)
Whoever can help, if you can help, or if it even CAN be helped, please do.. I'm desperate and I love my music/music library.

Petey G,
I had success in uploading iT6 andd QT7 after performing the following steps. Good luck ...
Hey troubled Podheads,
I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

Stuck with - Update- help needed

Hello all and thank you for reading!
I have the following problem with update statment. Tables and data in them are as follows:
Table 1: XML_TRANSFER
create table XML_TRANSFER as
select 111111 TAX_NR, 1 TYPE, 3000 PRIJ, 3000 POBOT from dual union all
select 222222 TAX_NR, 1 TYPE, 720.7 PRIJ, 350.70 POBOT from dual union all
select 333333 TAX_NR, 1 TYPE, 2600 PRIJ, 2100 POBOT from dual;Table 2: FIR_SET
create table FIR_SET as
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 111111 TAX_NR, 10 STEV_FAK, 2000 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 111111 TAX_NR, 11 STEV_FAK, 400 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 111111 TAX_NR, 12 STEV_FAK, 400 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 111111 TAX_NR, 13 STEV_FAK, 200 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 222222 TAX_NR, 1 STEV_FAK, 200 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 222222 TAX_NR, 2 STEV_FAK, 20.7 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 222222 TAX_NR, 3 STEV_FAK, 100 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 222222 TAX_NR, 4 STEV_FAK, 400 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual union all
select 2011 LET, 7 KROG, 333333 TAX_NR, 81 STEV_FAK, 2600 VALUE_ODPR, 0 VALUE_POBOT from dual;Ok, tables and data are set now for the "update" logic.
Lets look at the data in table XML_TRANSFER.
First row (with TAX_NR = 111111):
UPDATE statment in this case should work like: the VALUE_ODPR should be same as VALUE_POBOT in table FIR_SET.
This part i managed to do with this SQL:
PROCEDURE     xml_update is
BEGIN
update fir_set an
set an.value_pobot = an.value_odpr
where let = (select distinct max(let) from fir_set)
and krog = (select max(krog) from fir_set)
and
(select sum(a.VALUE_ODPR)-b.POBOT
from fir_SET a, xml_transfer b
WHERE a.tax_nr = b.tax_nr
and an.tax_nr = a.tax_nr
group by a.tax_nr,b.POBOT) = 0;
commit;
end;Resoult is as:
LET                     KROG                  TAX_NR                 STEV_FAK                VALUE_ODPR            VALUE_POBOT
2011                    7                      111111                 10                     2000                   2000
2011                    7                      111111                 11                     400                    400
2011                    7                      111111                 12                     100                    100
2011                    7                      111111                 13                     200                    200                Ok the next example is a bit more tricky and i cant figure it out. I dont know how to explain it properly ... i will
just post the resoult and try to explain it:
LET                     KROG                  TAX_NR                 STEV_FAK                VALUE_ODPR            VALUE_POBOT
2011                    7                      222222                 1                      200                    200
2011                    7                      222222                 2                      20.7                   20.7
2011                    7                      222222                 3                      100                    100
2011                    7                      222222                 4                      400                    30   So what we need to do is we check is XML_TRANSFER.POBOT - VALUE_ODPR > 0, IF this is it then we update VALUE_POBOT with VALUE_ODPR.
In next row we check again if above statment is correct and if it is we do the same. The process will continue as long as statment
will be correct.
If statment is no longer correct we have to do this operation: XML_TRANSFER.POBOT - SUM(VALUE_ODPR) (INSIDE SAME TAX_NR!!! So group by tax_nr!!)
and update last row with given resoult. By no means we can get negative numbers.
I really do help i explained my problem so that you will understand what i want to achive. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards, Cain!

Itunes store help needed

I downloaded itunes 10 and had to re-instal itunes 8.2, but now my itunes store doesn't work...it just has an advertisement for itunes 10 every time I open it. How do I make my itunes store work again?

Reinstalling the latest version will eliminate the ad. Or, you can also try installing iTunes 9.

After updating to most recent version, everything not purchased through store has disappeared from my iTunes library, HELP NEEDED ASAP!!!

I purchased a new laptop in August, running Windows 8 and spent hours importing every CD we own (over 300) to my iTunes library in order to get rid of them and declutter a little. I have had to run iTunes in a compatibility mode set for an older version of Windows in order to sync our iPods, as it doesn't work with Windows 8. A pain but not a major problem.....however, this morning I have updated iTunes and everything that hasn't been purchased through the store has now vanished from my library. Can anyone help me find the rest of my music please?

You're welcome.
Take a look at the backup technique I mention for the future.

HT4623 trying to update my iPhone 4 - no option for Software Update - help!

Hi could someone please help me... I have an iphone4 and am trying to update
When I go to Settings and General there is no option that says Software Update. The options given are just "About" and "Usage"
Can anyone pls help???
Thanks
Vicky

No problem. Here is what I hope is a reasonable explanation.
You have iTunes on your PC and you can also use it on your PC. This could be regarded as the central store or central point for all your data/music etc.
You can then have stuff on your iPhone and your iPad and each could have different stuff on it depending on available capacity depending on what you need. You can either put stuff on them from iTunes or just download to them directly. If you put stuff on them from iTunes, then you obviously also have it on iTunes. If you download directly, a copy of what you downloaded directly, should also download into iTunes automatically. Again, iTunes is your central store.
iCloud allows you to back up each of your devices in the cloud (Apple's storage area), iPhone, iPad and iTunes, automatically, just in case you have a problem and need to recover something. For example, although my iPhone is backed up within iTunes on my computer, it is also backed up in iCloud. A couple of months ago, I had a problem on my iPhone and went into an Apple Store to talk to them about it. To my (unprepared) surprise, they replaced my iPhone and gave me a new one. Whilst sitting in the store (and being connected to their wifi), I could then restore all my iPhone stuff directly from iCloud. This is everything apart from some data like music which I would have to do from iTunes.
Finally, iCloud also allows you to automatically transfer things from one device to another such as photos (photostream), contacts, reminders etc. - in such a case you could think of it as a syncing system.
I hope that this all helps.
All in all, use iTunes on a PC, keep it up to date and backed up if you can.
(proviso - this is not an exhaustable list nor 100% accurate but it does give a good summary of how it all works)
