Whenever I try to download itunes it says it cannot read from specified device, what do I do?
Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

HT1926 Every time I try and download iTunes it says that iTunes Script is invalid
I tried updating iTunes and it wouldnt work so I uninstalled every apple program on my computer and everything else has installed except iTunes. When it's almost done installing, something pops up saying that iTunes has an invalid signature and cannot be downloaded.
Help me fix this!!Every time i try to download it, it says i have insufficient access to bonjour and to log in as administrator and i am logged in as the administrator.
What's the precise text of the error message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.) -
Whenever I try to download videos, it says it cannot be downloaded at this time.
I click the little cloud with the blue arrow in it, then it starts going around the blue circle, like it's going to work. Then it says "cannot be downloaded at this time" I have tried a number of things. I have restarted and rebooted, typed "8.8.8.8" in the "DNS" space in the wifi, and reset the "network settings". I paid for this episode from iTunes and I'd like to watch it!!

Hello there Unicornbarf534,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
3. Install the latest version of iTunes
Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
3. Get the latest Windows updates
4. Disable other conflicting software
Additional Information
If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
All the best,

I just updated my Iphone 4 to the IOS 6 update and now i cant connect my iphone to Itunes because apparently my itunes is out of date? and then when i try and update itunes it says i need a new OS completely is there anything i can do???
Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
iTunes 10.6.3 -
Everytime I try to download itunes it says, Itunes Installer Interrupted?!
I was originally having problems downloading itunes because I couldn't get Quicktime and Itunes off my computer, but I download a program called Byetunes that completely deleted itunes from my computer. Unfortunately now every time it gets finish downloading Quicktime it stops and shows this message:
Itunes Installer Interrupted.
The installer was interrupted before the requested operations for Itunes could be completed. Your system has not beem modified. To complete these operations at a later date, please run the installer again.
Does anyone know what I should do to fix my problem!?Unfortunately I do not know what byeitunes does, but I have just seen another thread in which there was trouble installing iTunes after using byeitunes.
As a first step when you say +Everytime I try to download itunes it says, Itunes Installer Interrupted?+
Are you saving the installer on your PC before attempting to install iTunes. Do that if you haven't already done so.
Then try installing itunes again and give the full text of any error message.
Look in your Event Viewer to see if there are any error messages there around the time of the install
To find the event viewer, right click on my computer and select manage. -
Why everytime when i try to download iTunes it says " there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be wrong". What should i do to download it?
Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR, -

Everytime I try and load Itunes it says it has stopped working
Everytime I try and load Itunes it says it has stopped working and when I click on the message it closes the whole program down. I have tried the trouble shoot compatability but it just says incompatible application detected. I am not very tecnical but have tried to uninstall the programs and re install them but with no luck. This problem started after I added a new album but I have now removed it from the computer. Help!
Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you? -

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to download ITuens successfully?Today, April 19, 2011
Okay ... not likely to be a Windows Update issue that has just recently come on, then.
The 80070002 errors acn be associated with damaged files or missing permissions, and conceivably software interference too. So let's throw a bunch of basic principles troubleshooting procedures along those lines at the problem.
First, I'd try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, or whichever drive you install your program files on.
There's Vista instructions in the following document.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll probably need to schedule the scan to run on restart. The disk check should take quite a while to run (if you're running it on the C). If it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
After that completes, download a fresh copy of iTunesSetup.exe from the Apple Website and save it to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from the internet and/or your network. Now disable all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the iTunes install by right-clicking the iTunesSetup.exe and selecting "Run as administrator".
(Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.)
Any better luck with the install that time? -

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc. How can I get it to connect?? I need to know, urgently to get a proposal in before the deadline.
Try downloading the Find My Friends app and signing in with your iCloud ID to accept the terms and conditions there. If that doesn't work, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in.
