Why can't i update my itunes?, Why can't i update my itunes?

I have had this iTunes for a while and I don't think it's updating because I don't have the iCloud on it and it's hasn't connected with the iTunes Store either. I constantly try to connect the iTunes Store but it never works, I always make double check that I do have Internet on my laptop but it never works! I don't want to Re-install my iTunes because i have more than 500 songs and i do not want to lose them all. Everytime i check for updates it says "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later. when ever i plug in my iPod or iPhone, it syncs perfectly but i can't access the iTunes store from my laptop, i can't use the iCloud because it's just not there and I also can't get my purchased songs on my laptop.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Can someone please tell me why when I tried installing an update on my iPhone 5 from my computer it "failed" and now my phone has a picture of a plug connecting to an itunes icon and there's nothing I can do to remove it?

    My screen is frozen with a picure of a plug trying to connect to an iTunes icon. I can't reboot my phone or sign on to iTunes. When I callmy cell phone number the call goes straight to voice mail! What happened? How do I get rid of the screen on my iPhone? Help please.
    Thanks for any advice.

    There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
    Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
    If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.

    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

  • Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...

  • My iPod touch is not resonding to iTunes and I have the latest update. I plug it in and it begins to sync, then stops with no reason why. Is there a way this can be fixed?

    Why is my iPod not syncing to iTunes when i have the latest update?

    Seems, iTunes can't read your backup anymore. Copy the backup folder to a safe place before you delete the latest backup from the list in iTunes/Preferences/Devices
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

    After you deleted the backup from the list, try again to sync.

    I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story...............         iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • When i tried updating my iphone 4 to the latest IOS version 7.1.1 and at the end of the update it has the icon connect to itunes. When i try connecting to itunes it still doesnt program. Why is this? How can i fix it?

When i try connecting to itunes on my laptop it still doesnt program, by the way my itunes has the latest updae. Why is this? How can i fix it?

    Hey there Raymondd2014,
    It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Why can't I connect to internet on my ipad since updating to 8.3 even thought I am in sync with itunes?

    Why can't I connect to the internet on my ipad 2 since I updated to 8.3? ITunes indicated ipad is in sync and my wfi is working.

    On your iPad, go into Settings --> Wifi. Does your iPad indicate your device is on a wireless network?
    If so, can you verify your wireless network is correctly functioning?
    If not, connect your device to a wireless network. If the iPad refuses to connect to a wireless network. Go into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Network Settings. If done correctly than you will NOT loose any data while reseting your network settings. After the reset, go back into wifi settings and attempt to connect to a wireless network.

  • HT1473 Why after updating my itune i can no longer import LP's from my ion Turntable can sombody help please

    Why after updating itune i can no longer import vinyl to the itunes

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    You can try borrowing one. These cables are common for Android, Kindle etc. users.
    Here are some steps and notes to try:
    MANY people are reporting they've had to try multiple micro USB cables to find one that works. I got one that worked from a neighbor.
    For clarification, this needs to be a "micro" USB, not a "mini" USB
    Some people have also reported they've had to try the Restore process more than once.
    1. Unplug Apple TV and move it to your computer running latest version of iTunes.
    2. Quit iTunes if running.
    3. Plug micro USB cable to the back of the Apple TV.
    4. Power the Apple TV using  the AC cable.
    5. iTunes shoud either launch itself (a good indication that the micro USB cable you're using is compatible), or launch iTunes.
    6. Click Restore. Software will download and install (big file).

  • Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating my ipad to OS 6?

    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.
