Why can't i backup with iTunes 11

I am trying to backup with my Imac 27" running Lion, but I can't find any devices to back my Itunes library to.  I want to back up using my DVD +R-DL disks.  Am I doing something wrong?  (Just in case, I'm upgrading right now to Mountain Lion and will try again.)
Thanks,
Bob
p.s. running with Itunes 11.0.1 on my desktop.

This update is terrible; consider yourself lucky if you can't download it. I wish I read all of the complaints before installling. Without Steve Jobs, Apple's reign is over. It's just been one crappy decision after the other. For Christmas I'm buying different devices.

  • Why can't we backup (with Time Machine) our Airport hosted 1TB HD from our iMac (hosting a 2TB HD)?

    With an iMac (one year old), we are using Time Machine to backup the iMac and one small external HD to a 2TB HD (USB). The iMac is on a small wired network along with an Airport Extreme hosting a 1TB HD for shared iPhoto Libraries, 2 printers and a recent MacBook Pro (backed up to another 1TB HD). Time Machine is doing a fine job of backing up the iMac and its small external HD (80GB), but we cannot seem to cause it to backup the Photo Libraries HD. Why not? The Photo Libraries HD is automounted to the desktops of both the iMac and the MacBook Pro. What do we need to do?

    No, sorry.  The Airport Extreme can't do backups;  only OSX on your Mac.

  • Why can I not register with iTunes

    Hi I have been trying to download apps etc but it keeps saying I have not used iTunes yet,when I try to register it says I need to contact apple .Do u have to register a credit card in order to download apps etc. this is my first iPad . Also do you have to sign in every time you want to download something? This is getting quite frustrating. Any help much appreciated.

    Did you plug it in? Do you have the current version of iTunes on your computer? If you have a Mac, does it meet the minimum requirements (OS X 10.6.8 or higher)?
    You have to give us something to go on here...

  • Using iTunes why can you not backup and save your voicemail?  Guide me through this step by step if possible.  If alternate method MUST be used then provide same.  Truly appreciate this.

    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support  - link doesn't state that voicemail is part of the backup
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview  states that VVM is part of the icloud backup.
    You can also contact your cell phone provider - as voicemail is a carrier feature.

    Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating mt Ipad to Os 6?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
    thanks,
    Simon

    First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
    If it is an email address then:
    Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
    Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
    Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
    If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

  • Since I installed ios 6.1 in my iPhone 4, I can't sync it with iTunes. Can annyone help me? I have already reinstalled iTunes and reseted the iPhone, but it still doesn't sync. Thank you.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.
