After upgrading itunes, all my music has gaps in it

I just upgraded itunes from version 6 to 7.4.3.1. Upon startup of itunes, itunes started did something wehre it had to go through all my songs. Unfortunatly, i can't remeber what it said it was doing but it had something to do with getting information on all the songs. It took about 5 min to go though all the music (5,300 songs). After it finished and i regained control, i tried playing some music. To my surprise, the songs all had little gaps in them about every 5 seconds. It sounds kind of like a CD skipping. This happens with every piece of music in my itunes library. I tried playing the same music using windows media player and these "gaps" aren't there, it works fine. It seems like this is a problem with itunes. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how to fix it?
By the way, i had the same problem when i upgraded to the first version 7 but my friend downgraded back to the old version and everything worked fine again.

same problem here... i've done google search after google search and i have no idea how to fix it.
anybody out there have a real solution? my ipod's basically dead and i was thinking about getting a new one, but i'd need the new itunes.. which doesn't work.

  • After downloading iTunes all my music files are in pieces

    Hello,
    is there anyone you knows how to solve this issue. I downloaded the current basic iTunes and gave Apple the permission to view my music files. The result is that almost every music file is now incomplete, for instance there will tracks from 1 to 20 but strangly track 3 , 6 and 13 will be missing. Instead I have to search around and finally find a file called 'unknown artists' in which I would find the specific album again but only containing the tracks 3, 6 and 13. That is highly unconvenient and I don't understand why.
    All the albums I'm talking about are CD's I bought in shop and just copied on my laptaop (toshiba using vista windos media player)and where fine before iTunes came along.
    Any clue would be appreciated.

  • Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

    iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
    After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Carolyn,
    I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
    Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
    Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
    Many thanks

  • Ive had a lap top from a friend, she cleared everything off it but ive downloaded itunes and all her music has appeared in the itunes library. How can i delete her music from the itunes library?

    ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

    In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
    Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

    I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please

    You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

  • Help!  iTunes has completely disappeared off my iPhone 4s, yes the program, not just the app, and all my music has gone!  How can I get this back?  Thanks!!

    (p.s. I do suspect a deletion has occurred courtesy of my 4 year old nephew, some other stuff has gone too, but beats me how he deleted a whole program!!!)

  • "manually manage music and videos" setting disabled after upgrading iTunes!

    Hello every one.
    I used to manage my musics and videos manualy , so naturally "manually manage music and videos" check box was always "cheked"
    Now after i upgrade my itunes to latest version (11.1.3.8), i find out that option is "Unchecked"!!
    So i am not able to copy any music or video or book too my iphon !
    If i try to enable that option again, it will clear my libraries and i will lose anything.
    Why this happened? what can i do ? any workaround? seems like a bug to me. i didnt do anything just updated my itunes. that option was enabled on my iphone for like 3 years! now i just upgrade my iTunes and that check box is unchecked.
    It seems stupid itunes think its another machine and says " it is synced with another library"
    Any suggestion please?

    Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
    I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
    Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
    1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
    2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
    3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
    Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

  • HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

    I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
    I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

    If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
    Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
    Backup the iTunes Library Files
    The library files are in:
    My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
    Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

  • Have not used my itunes for a while and have found all my music has disappeared.

    I haven't used my Itunes for a while but tried today to find all my music has disappeared.  How do I get it back and what has happened to it???

    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    The easiest way to get back missing items?  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!

    After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!
    For example,
    1. It would never finish printing the file, just the first so many pages. So... 
    2. I updated the driver, and then I could print one copy only without problems. But...
    3. I can never print more than one copy of a PDF without collate mis-sequence problems. It just does not print one whole copy before printing the next copy. And it goes back and forth printing some of the first copy, then the second, then a few pages from the first, etc. Eventually it all prints, but they are mixed up sequentially. But some pages are in order.  And...
    4. It prints soooo slow compared to before.
    I upgraded from CS3
    My printer is a Ricoh SP C420DN Color Laser Printer

    All I know is that before I could print fine and fast and in any quantity I wanted (while using CS3 Indesign exported PDFs and Booklet Spreads on my latest and greatest printer, a Color Ricoh SP C420 DN).
    But now, since I upgraded to a Master Suite of CS5, at first it would never print the whole file, even once. And when I upgraded to the Universal Print Driver, and or any other drivers, it will only print one copy of a PDF without mis-sequencing the printed pages, and it is so slow. It is worthless.
    Pat-
    P.S. I think I need to try to call Ricoh or something, but will that work? Sigh!
    Yeah, this sounds like a general print driver problem with the newer versions of the Adobe products, not just Acrobat or ID. Ricoh may or may not have an updated driver, but theyare definitely the ones to ask.
    You haven't told us the OS... Some Mac users have had good luck, I think, using the CUPS drivers with problem printers when the manufacturer doesn't have a solution, but I'm a Windows guy, so don't do much with Mac printing.

  • After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists

    After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists.  Help!

    To be more clear:
    1.  My music and my playlists are on an external drive.  My playlists are saved as .m3u files.
    2.  Everything was working perfectly before the iTunes upgrade yesterday.  But now when I use the iTunes "File/Library/Import Playlist" feature, the playlist that is imported is EMPTY.
    3.  I can open the .m3u file and see that it contains the songs with their full path.  So the .m3u file contains the correct information, it is just not importing into iTunes like it used to.
    4.  Apparenty when iTunes upgraded, it changed some setting and now everything is out of sync.
    I am so stumped.
