When we download from iTunes store, our network grinds to a halt and iTunes is downloading at a snails pace.

Not really sure, but when we download content from itunes, our network grinds to a stop and iTunes is the culprit. Funny thing is that iTunes is only using a small percentage of the bandwith. If we quit iTunes, all goes back to normal. But if we leave itunes running, problem persists.
We have 10mb download speed, and 500Mb takes around 4hrs. Any ideas?

how old is your computer, what the ram in it?
if not the internet, it maybe the lion.
i used 2Gb mac on lion, its really slow down since upgrading to lion
i upgraded to 3Gb and things speed up a bit.
itunes still slow because its just has many heavy graphics.
i also cannot use Google Chrome for some reason, slower computer and makes my screen flickers heavily.
once i quit chrome, all works smoother.

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

When we purchase from iTunes the balance is not coming off of the gift cards. We have family sharing on but when my kids purchase songs they are credited to our credit card and not the gift card that is already in their account. What's wrong?

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list"

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list". Please help me to reinstall it.

If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.

What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match?

What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match? Can I still access it and iTunes just stops matching new songs I add or is the whole thing not accessible anymore to download or play?

iTunes 7 will convert your existing library, but iTunes 6 and earlier will not recognize the new library format.

As these are public forums (most of us on here are fellow users) I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
If you are also getting a message to contact iTunes support then you can do so via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (on these forums we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

When transferring songs from iTunes to phone it was doing it ok then all of a sudden it started to say iTunes cannot pick up information from phone restore to factory settings I am afraid if I do this I will loose all phone numbers pictures and songs anyo

When transferring music from iTunes to iPhone after about 3 downloads a message come up saying iTunes cannot get information from phone and I should restore phone to factory settings I do not wont to do this because I am worried I will loose all phone contacts ,pictures,and songs anyone know how I can resolve this

Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data, which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
In addition, contacts and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup.

Walk it into the nearest Apple Store there in Ireland, admit you purposely avoided buying it there, and ask them to help you sort it out. I'm sure they'll be happy to service your overseas purchase.....

What is your iTunes version?
If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

When you order a MBP you can have it delivered at any Apple retail store. When you get the e-mail that the MBP is ready to be picked up, you have options to enter in the rersponse if you or someone else will pick it up. You will have to fill in some required information that will identify that person to the store personnel.
I had my last MBP delivered to the local store, but I picked it up.
Ciao.

MPEG-4 file - can this we changed when it imports from iTunes store?

I recently signed up for iTunes and I was wanting to import songs using the MP3 format, but each time I download it comes through as MPEG-4. I want to use the songs in my family video I'm creating through Roxio Easy Media Creator, but it only accepts MP3's. How do I change the setting so when I download from the iTunes store it comes through as an MP3, not MPEG-4? I've tried everything.
I'm also doing this on Windows XP pc - in case it makes a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.
Thanks.

EG1974 you can get your iTunes file to MP3 or WAV but the process is a bit convoluted. You'll also lose some quality in the conversion process but you will have something you can play in your car or mp3 player (If it's not an ipod).
1) In preferences/Advanced/Burning
Choose disk format and burn the songs to Audio CD.
2) Once you have done that, again in preferences/Advanced/Importing
Change your import settings to MP3 encoder or WAV encoder and setting to Good Quality 128kbps (I find this works on just about every type of player) then load your CD, import your songs back into iTunes as mp3's. You'll then be able to import the tracks into roxio
At the end of the process you should finsh with both the original & mp3 version in your iTunes libary.
Hope this has been of some help

"Download error" when getting songs from iTunes on iPod touch 2G

Hi all. Recently I've been getting a "Download Error. Tap to retry" message when I'm downloading songs from iTunes on my iPod Touch. It doesn't always happen, but seems to happen most if I leave the Download screen before the song is done downloading and processing. Even though it says "Tap to retry", when I do that, it just errors again. This continues, with frequent pop-up prompts asking for my iTunes password, until I connect my Touch back to iTunes.
I was curious if other people had the same problem and if there is a fix for this or if I just need to stay on the download screen until the song is done.
I have a 32gig iPod Touch 2nd Gen with the latest OS.
Thanks for any info.

Basics from the manual are:
Restart, reset, restore
