Why is the iTunes download on XP failing?
I've tried to download the iTunes executable file onto my XP numerous times this evening via Firefox. I confirmed that I'm downloading the version for Windows, and I've confirmed that I have Service Pack 2. I direct it to save onto my desktop, but it never shows up. It also doesn't show up in my downloads folders. I've cleared out my Temp folder and uninstalled Quicktime player too. I'm not getting any error messages. Any ideas?
you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

Why is the itunes download so slow
why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.

Why is the itunes always show my ID is disabled as I download the APP
Why is the itunes always show my ID is disabled as I download the APP
If it works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
If it doesn't work on your computer nor iPhone then depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to to Apple's download webpage (to download a full version of iTunes) instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime pop-up/dialog box where I usually perform the updates?
iTunes 10.4 and Safari 5.1 contain more than 'just' the OSX Lion-release but stability and security improvements as well.
For example, here is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 what the Safari 5.1 contains.
In here http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ I can't find an "end-date" for the download of the Lion installer.
Nonetheless, personaly I would download the Lion installer and then copy it (from your Apllications folder) to a secure place (backup harddisk, external hardisk etc.).
When your IT gives it a go you can then use te Lion installer from inside the Applications folder, but I would also say to make a bootable clone of your current OSX Snow Leopard before starting the Lion installation.

Why are the TV downloads so slow? how can this be fixed?
If you start Activity Monitor with All Processes select and the CPU tab clicked
Then click the small arrow to the right of the % to sort the process using the most CPU to the top
If you tell us which processes they are and how much is being use we might be able to help you

Why is the ITunes Store in South Africa so limited
why is the ITunes Store in South Africa so limited
Apple can only sell content where the rights-holders grant them licenses to sell it (and in some cases a country's laws also limit things). If there is a particular item that is not currently available that you would like to be able to download then you try requesting that it be added, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
For music you could check to see if its available on other music purchase downloads sites that you have access to (or if it's available as a CD then you could buy that and copy it via your computer's iTunes).
For ebooks there are other ebook apps/stores where it might be available e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc -
Why do my itunes downloaded movies get suck frequently
Why do my itunes downloaded movies get stuck during streaming when my other accounts, i.e. netflix and amazon prime have no problems?
Is their really no solution to this problem? That would be really disappointing.
I have newly installed iTunes software on a new machine, and the iTunes software is broken from the beginning.
I purchased my music through the iTunes store because I thought it would make my life easier. It is sad to find out that this is not the case. -

Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com

Why dont my itunes download to iphone when I purchase from my Mac, why dont my itunes download to iphone when I purchase from my Mac?
It really isn't necessary to yell at me. I've done nothing wrong to you have have treated you with respect. Something you are not doing with me.
I suggest you check the manual, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf to see if it requires wifi for this to work. You might also want to try a reset on your device. It will have no affect on your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if this will cause the content to download. You also have the option to go to iTunes Store>More>Purchased and you can select the purchases and download them. -
why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not a correct 64 bit download???
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -

Do you know Apples expenses in each country?
Apple has to sell the music for the price that they can negotiate with the owners of the distribution rights in each country.
Perhaps those who own the rights to distribute the music in Australia simply negotiated a higher price. -
