When i updated OS X update to 10. 10.2 and iTunes to 12.1 and restarted my mac, safari got messed up
I updated my OS X and iTunes today and when I restarted my mac, safari got messed up. No matter how many times I change the preference of the new windows and tabs to favorites and remove the homepage site, it always get back to what it was-- homepage for both and search-quick.com for the homepage site. I can't open a new tab/window with the favorite--and it's very annoying since it opens with the search-quick.com. I've never installed search quick program, and I can't get rid of it. On the preference, the google is set to my search engine but whenever I search something it uses that search quick site. I don't know how to get rid of it and I want to remove it so bad. The biggest issue is whatever I click, the useless ads (mackeeper, justcloud, seniorsoulmates, McAfee, etc) keeps popping up on the new tabs. Literally, it pops up whenever I click something. It's driving me crazy- what should I do?
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I updated to IOS6 on my IPad and the screen went blank then showed a picture of a USB plug and arrow pointing to ITunes but nothing else happens. I cannot restore, recover or sync anything.... Please help!
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow this.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

I have a 5s phone that has been updated to 8.0.2. I have the latest update for iTunes. I had all of my music in the phone before the upgrade to 8. I tried to re-sync the phone and now there is no music in the phone and it will not sync with iTunes. any solutions??
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup see:

I have an iPhone 5. Whilst trying unsuccessfully to find an audiobook I bought from the iTunes Store on my phone, I lost all my music . Now iTunes Match just keeps trying to load, but nothing happens. I still have my music on my ipad and my computer so I tried syncing to get it back on my phone, but that didn't work. Does anyone know what to do please?
turn match off and then sync
syncing itunes mac
first open itunes on mac computer
At top left you have an apple - itunes- file edit view ect...
go under view and show side bar
go under iTunes and check for updates (11.1.3 current) - update if needed
plug in iphone (or ipad, ipod ect..)
when the device shows up in the sidebar click on the name of device not the arrow
this opens up a summary page
across top says info, apps, music, photos, ect...
click on what you want to sync ie music
check the top box that says sync music select -entire library or selected songs and pick what you want by checking
now apply or sync at bottom

Can any one help as the digital copy downloaded but was processing when iTunes froze and then I had to shut it down. I have the latest version and am using iTunes on a windows PC. I would imagine similar problems could arise on download processing if there was a power cut so surely iTunes knows that my ID has redeemed the movie and it will continue now?
Can anyone help?I forgot to add that when I looked at the store for available downloads it only continued to download the movie extras which is only 69MB of menu items and no movie content.

When adding Airport to a "receiver/stereo amplifier" to play iTunes and other music files on my iMac and iPad, what do I connect Airport to? Aux on the receiver/amplfier? Thanks, Terrell
How does iPhoto figure into this? Your question seem more like an Airport question.

When I run the Apple Software update, it tells me that iCloud and iTunes have invalid signature and will not be downloaded. When I DL iTunes64setup.exe, the program will not start (there's a bar that flashes but nothing actually begins). I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows to fix this (system resore, unistalling all Apple products, taking down firewall, running Windows FixIt - which either won't find the problem or gives me an error saying that the troubleshooter cannot be downloaded at this time, going into the security features to allow programs without valid signatures, trying to install earlier versions of iTunes). It all started when I downloaded the Decemberists new album on my iPhone, and it wasn't downloading it properly so I connected it to my Dell, but some songs still wouldn't DL - also, the newest OS for my iPhone still won't install via WiFi - and so I uninstalled iTunes first, but nothing is helping. And I don't have any security issues (Norton has checked). Any ideas? I'm at my wit's end after 3 days of this. Thank you.
Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!
