Why won't itunes update, even after i run the installer?
i just bought a new ipod w/ video, and was running itunes5. so, it tells me i need to upgrade to itunes6...i quit itunes, ran the installer, even reset the computer, and for some reason the update just doesn't do anything to itunes.
it stays at itunes5...
BTW, i'm using a powerbook with mac OS X10.4.3
If you don't mind my asking, how did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem, and am out of ideas.

I can't get iTunes to install/start on my HP laptop. When I start/install the current version, I get the following error "The procedure entry point "JSStringGetUTF8String could not be located in the dynamic link library WebKit.dll". Why isn't this dll included in the distribution? What do I do to get iTunes to install on my 64-bit AMD HP laptop.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

Why won't ITunes update to 12.1
I've tried updating ITunes for 3 days now. In the history it shows that it has updated numbers times, but it also shows the update still needs to be done. When I check ITunes - it does not reflect the update.
I had this issue and tried downloading it 10 times or more. I downloaded the update straight from Apple's site and it finally installed. Just go to Apple's homepage then click iTunes, then click download iTunes.
Hope this helps! -
Why won't iTunes Update?
When I use the "Check for Updates" in iTunes it says 10.6.3 is up to date.
When I use "Software Update) the App Store Update give me an error: "An error has occurred" The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
(I think only when checking for iTunes because it updated Evernote just fine.The simple answer to your question is likely because you and about 10 million other people are all trying to do it at the same time. Go to the Apple web site and download whatever it is you need, or be patient and wait a day or two. Maybe the servers are slowed by everybody trying to get the new iTunes, but according to the second link below there isn't any urgency.

Why won't apps synch, even after authorizing this computer?
My computer had all its files dumped and restored and the computer was no longer "recognized" as the authorized computer. I also bought a new iTouch. I merged the old iTouch with the computer, then synched my new iTouch. When I tried to synch apps, I got the messsage that this computer was not authorized. So I went to store>authorize this computer, and it says it is authorized, but I still cannot synch the apps to my new iTouch. I repeatedly get the message that this computer is not authorized.
I have a similar problem trying to sync a new iPod Touch with the PC. I have 2 authorizations activated, both on the same computer. I did not deactivate before doing an upgrade and uninstalling iTunes from the PC. When I reinstalled it, I ended up with a second activation (but only one account). I tried to deactivate, but could only do one. I found out how to deactivate all when there are 5 activations (a button comes up), but not all when only 2 computers are activated. So, like you, when I try to sync apps, I have to activate, then the screen says that this computer is already activated, ok, then the activation screen comes back and I activate again, then screen says already activated, ok, then .... endless loop. This is a bug. Can someone please help?

Why won't iTunes detect my iPod Nano in the Source Panel?
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and the problem is that my iPod Nano (4th generation) is showing up on the desktop, but not in the iTunes Source Panel. As a result, I can't sync any new songs to my Nano or make any changes to its settings. It had been working perfectly for 14 months on both iTunes 8 and 9. I'm positive that the source of the problem is either the computer itself or iTunes because my iPod works on any other computer that I've tried. We have two other iPods in the house (both iPod Shuffle) and they're both showing up in iTunes without any trouble. I have tried every suggestion on the iPod troubleshooting pages (reseting, reinstalling iTunes, putting into disk mode, updating software, different USB ports, new USB cable...) and none of this works. I even took the iPod to the Apple Retail Store and the best advice they could give me was to replace the iPod. Needless to say, I'd rather not do this since the iPod is working perfectly on its own and on any other Mac that I've tried.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
However, what iOS is on the iPod? If you have iOS 4.1 ( I think) or 4.2 then you need iTunes 10.x that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. -
I just got the iphone 5 and synced all my music from itunes. How come my phone won't play certain songs? It just skips over them. when I play them on my computer, there's no problem?? So frustrating!
Somebody HELP!So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File. For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

I have been using Safari on my iMac although I had Firefox installed. I tried using a paste function and the error message said that Mozilla Firefox is prohibiting this. I tried to follow the guide to fix that in Firefox and couldn't even find the application folder it talked about. So I tried to uninstall the application, following the instructions given (move it to the trash). I restarted Safari but got exactly the same results.
How can I get rid of the impact Firefox has had on Safari?See this forum thread about "Version 15 no longer allows copy to clipboard":

Clear your browser cache and try downloading again. Make sure you get the 64 bit installer.

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?
Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.
The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
