Why do I get error message that iTunes could not copy x song while syncing
This is not a Touch issue per se, but once in awhile while syncing up on an XP computer, iTunes will give me the error message that it was not able to copy certain songs to the Touch because the orginal could not be found. Funny thing is, when that happens, I don't actually lose the song, but it shows up twice in my library, with an exclamation point next to one of them.
Why does this happen, and is there anything that can be done to prevent it? It has happened on songs I have purchased, as well as CD's I have imported. For the CD songs, I re-imported, and those songs no longer showed up in the list of songs where the orignal could not be found. I just find it strange.
AAPL is correct in that it was a duplicate. I deleted the dup (with the exclamation point next to it) and I still have the other song in my library.
I don't believe I ever moved anything, so I'm still not sure why the original song remains and when syncing a duplicate appears with the error message. This has also happened on a music video I bought just days ago. But, whatever, as long as I didn't lose anything no big deal.

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
Hi Guys When trying to install latest version of Apple software I'm getting error message that Itunes has not been properly installed which is strange as I played ' Take Five' two days ago. Can anyone help please?

Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.
I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems. -
Get error message that server could not be found when sending email thru iPhoto
I have established a icloud/mobile me account. Trying to use iphoto to send photos with emails and always get error message that server coule not be found.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Why am I getting a message that iTunes is not installed when trying to access items in IE?
When I am using IE and find an app on the store, then click the button to view in iTunes I am redirected to the download screen. I tried subscribing to a podcast recently as well and got the message that iTunes was not installed on my computer. When I try to do the same actions in Chrome they work fine. Unfortunetly, Chrome does not work well with some of the software my college uses so I would like to get IE functioning fully before classes start back up. This happens even if I disable my firewall. I have tried updating iTunes and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. My husband's computer has several itunes plugins in IE but I don't for some reason.
Reset IE to defaults.
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset -
Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting error message every time I open the program and try to do anything. Have to Force Quit to close. Using a Mac. Your expertise is appreciated!!
Have you tried removing all 3rd party plug-ins?
Also, resetting preferences to defaults may help... Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Having problems launching iTunes on my pc. Had iTunes on this particular pc for over a year. Have downloaded all of the new updated versions. Now I get an error message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall." I have backed up the pc to an earlier date when when the program was working, and also performed serveral system diagnosis all saying the program is incompatible. Searched for several compatible programs, none worked. All this happened several days after visiting iTunes. I'm afraid that if I reinstall iTunes that I will loose everything and have to start all over. Eventhough everything is saved in an iCloud account and this particular pc. Never had a problem till now. Appreciate any help. Thank you, cld
Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now? -

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it

I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?
Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Error message tells me to reset password. After resetting password I get confirmation email that new password is set. As soon as I try to access App Store I get error message that password is not valid.
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

Phone is only a few months old and was working fine last night - it ran out of battery but on being charged up this morning it was effectively locked. I received an error message that I could not make or receive calls and I had to restore via itunes. I have done so and lost loads of apps etc (my fault for not backing up) but still unable to make or receive calls. Anyone had anything similar and can advise who I should contact or what I can do.
Thanks,try contacting your carrier and see whats going on.
