Wait to upgrade iTunes 10?

Since it seems so many people are having problems with iTunes 10, should I wait to upgrade after I receive my new iPod nano (6G)?

First thing: I downloaded a new 100 mb version of iTunes. How could the problem have anything to do with security settings?
iTunes is just a standard download, but iPhone updates do some special checking with Apple during the download process. Firewalls and security software can interfere with this.
Second thing: if the app was backward compatible with the old OS, why would I have to update the OS in order to have it work? I can imagine applications that might only work with a new OS, but I think of the tail wagging the dog.
New OSs are backwards compatible with older apps. Some newer apps use features added to the iPhone by OS updates, so won't work with older OS versions. If developers were not allowed to use these features, what would be the point of adding features to the iPhone.

  • I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod although I can see the iphone but NOT the iPod on the computer (windows 8.1 Pro).  I checked everything , cable, services, stop and start and automatice, etc.and went through all the steps on the apple support site, to include removing all apple software in the designated order and reinstalling it.  iTunes still doesn't see the iphone.
    The Apple iPhone shows up only under protable Devices in the Device Manager window and has a Yellow ! warning triangle, and there is no Apple USB controller in the devices menu.under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When I look under the properties of the Apple iphone, it says in Device Status, to reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).
    When I do this,  I get the following: "Windows found driver softweare for you device but encountered an error when attempting to install it" Apple Mobile Device Driver One of the installers for th this device cannot perform the installation at this time. I tried both suggested locations on the C: drive.
    Also I can't seem to find out how to install the Apple USB Contoller or is that related to the problem above?
    The iphone and my ipod work fine with this version of itunes on Windows 7 on my laptop.  is it possible that I am missing a critical update from Microsoft on the driver and USB controller?  I have been leery of installing them since my computer had problems with some updates in January.
    I 've tried every thing listed in this forum, I think, and the Apple support page on this subject.  Please help!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • Unable to upgrade iTunes 10.1 or add new user

    I have iTunes 10.1.0.56 installed on a Windows 7 PC.  Whenever I try to upgrade to any newer version, the installation stalls.  The dialog box says that the program is trying to use a resource that is unavailable, then it prompts me to try to find the folder containing iTunes64.msi, which is the installation program itself.  One of the suggested locations is "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"; another is C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.1.0.22\ which was probably the first version I loaded after I bought the PC.  I have tried over-writing the version number; I have also found temp folders in cache from previous upgrade attempts, but none of those folder names work.  I keep getting the message that (whatever) is not a valid installation package.  Eventually I have to cancel the upgrade.
    iTunes works fine for me and my children on our respective user profiles.  We all have iPods and used iTunes regularly.  My wife up to now is a non-iTunes user but she just got an iPod Classic for her birthday.  However, when she launches iTunes from her profile, the installation program launches and then stalls with the same error messages as above. So she can't use iTunes and without having her own iTunes account, her iPod is useless.
    I have seen this problem or similar issues discussed on other boards, mainly involving older versions of iTunes and/or Windows.  I have pretty much the latest of both but can neither upgrade iTunes or set up my wife as a new user.  Can somebody out there help me??  Thanks!

    I also encountered the same problem.
    and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
    Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..

    spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
    i finally find out one thing.
    pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
    i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
    try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
    ok. lets start...
    in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
    try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
    only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
    dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    and reinstall itunes 9.2
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
    copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
    uninstall itunes 9.2
    and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
    find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    restart the computer and start itunes now
    what happens?
    best of luck.
    -Kmhm63
    reinstall the newer version 10.1
    I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Upgraded iTunes and  all songs in music folder are duplicated

    Recently upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1.4 and all songs are now duplicated. Any idea why this happened and is there an easy way to get rid of the duplicates? When I opened iTunes after the upgrade, it acted as though it was a new installation-asking questions about finding song files.

    Something went wrong with the upgrade. itunes should not have asked about finding files on an upgrade.
    For duplicates in the itunes program, sort by Date Added. Figure out which group is valid - either the oldest or newest, and delete whichever group that isn't needed. You can highlight the first and then hold the shift key to highlight the last, so you can delete the group all at once.
    For duplicate on your hard drive, use Windows Explorer and Date Created/Modified the same way.

  • Weird bug after upgrading itunes to 7.5 and going back to 7.2

    hey everyone,
    I've made a series of mistakes. I run OS X 10.3.9 on a G4 desktop. I upgraded itunes 7.2 to 7.5 and when it didn't work i tried to go back. I found a way, but i didn't uninstall 7.5 correctly and developed a bug. whenever i click on a .wav or .aif in column view in Finder or Pro Tools the window or application crashes.
    I re-upgraded to itunes 7.5 in hope of fixing this, but nothing.
    any suggestions
    thanks in advance

    it could be quicktime. When my dumb *** updated itunes, i also updated QT from 6.5.2 to 7.3. That version didn't work with my digidesign hardware and i had to find a way to downgrade. I found this link: http://fox-gieg.com/tutorials/2005/undo-quicktime-7/
    everything seemed to run smoothly.

  • I upgraded itunes today and now some of my music from cd's is in grey and I cannot open it on. I changed sync to AAC and went in and selected genres, artists, albums that I wanted to download.  I want to listen to my music.  Can anyone help me?? Please! .

    I downloaded latest version of iTunes to my computer today and now some of my music - a lot - is showing up in grey after syncing to my iPhone 5 and I cannot open it.  All music is from cd's purchased and before download was accessible.  I went to SYNC and changed to AAC and reselected genres, artists, albums and synced again without success.  Can anyone help? Please.  I am so frustrated and have wasted all day on this.  I want my music back!!!

    When you upgraded, itunes should have put a copy of the itunes library database in a folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries* . If you upgraded itunes today it will show as
    iTunes Library 2010-02-28.itl
    Use these directions to get it back

    Since I am not sure of your setup, look for the "Previous" folder on both your C: and F: drives.

  • After upgrading iTunes I can no longer play my songs.  It says that "The song  ________ could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"   I have NO clue where to look.

    After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs.  It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"   I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy.  I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty.  Any and all help is appreciated. 

    The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences.  If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
    Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
    The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders.  Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album.  If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
    I see you are running OSX 10.5.8  it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • Doesn't recognize Ipod touch after upgrade itunes to 11.1.3.8

    i upgraded itunes and my 2gen ipod touch will not open itunes. It is recognized as a drive in the file folder

    I've tried most all of the "solutions" listed' uninstalling itunes, reinstalling, checking Admin Svcs for Ipod and Itunes. Still no luck. Seems there would be a option when plugged in to start Itunes, then we could get to the ipod anyway.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Note with iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show all your purchases with cloud icons that allow them to be streamed or downloaded from Apple's servers.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If, for some inexplicable reason, the media has been removed from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
