Itunes 7.0.1 doesn't help

I have been having issues similar to others since installing Itunes 7:
- grinding and whirring
- not recognized
- won't update more than 280 songs at one time
- doesn't play back smoothly on IPod
- Itunes freezes when I connect IPod
I downloaded 7.0.1 today and the problems didn't improve - in fact, took a long time for IPOD to play anything at all. You didn't kill it yet Apple so keep trying! At this rate it will be dead with one more upgrade and then I will post one stylish white brick for sale ... cheap!

Oh it works now - All I had to do was open quicktime separately for it to configure itself. iTunes opens fine now.

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes..related posts doesn't help me

    I got a new iPod which I am trying to connect to my machine. I am using USB 2.0 to connect it to my machine. Note that my machine doesn't have Firewire. Windows recognizes it, but my iTunes gives me error: "The software required to communicate with iPod is not correctly installed. Please reinstall iTunes".
    I have gone through all the steps provided by apple on their support site and few provided on this discussion board (disabling Windows XP firewall). But none of this helped.
    The iPod works fine on another XP machine I have. I noticed that the executable iTunesHelper.exe was not running on my machine. So I tried to start it from command prompt. The program did start but it stopped immediately.
    The machine on which I have iPod working has iTunesHelper.exe running fine.
    Can anyone help me ?

    good lord, bdoshi ... i can see why the other posts didn't help you. this is the first time that i've seen anyone be forced to do
    b more
    than what you've already done in a
    b long
    time. (indeed, if ever.)
    okay, let's wheel out the heavy artillery. there are some more-aggresive options listed at the end of this document. (you've done the early ones already.) most of these options involve another uninstall/reinstall:

  • Iphone stuck on loading circle, communicates well with Itunes, DFU or Restore doesn't help!

    I replaced a cracked glass on my 3GS, 3 days ago, everthing went fine (have done a few of these) but when I switched my phone back on it would not boot correctly.
    I am currently trying to restore the phone but not getting much success.
    Tried both standard and DFU restore. All goes ok but then just sticks on either the Apple or rotating circle(same thing but with other logos if i jailbreake it). Itunes tells me that the SIM is PIN locked (this is correct) and need to enter code but phone screen still shows logo or loading circle, so i can't enter it.
    It comunicates well with my computer and all modes are working to get in to. When i get in restore mode the apple-usb picture shows up on phone.
    The LCD is working fine, the digitizer works.
    So i have the same problem as many other, but fixes that fixes others problems doesn't work for me, i have tried many times.
    So now i'm starting to believe it is a hardware problem, but i can't understand how it can be that.

    Have google alot and pretty much allready given up, but thought i should test asking here before i do so.
    It is not jailbroken now, and was only jailbroken in purpose to fix this, but i gues no one can't help me then.

  • ITunes not working, reinstalling doesn't help

    iTunes has stopped working on my computer. When I run it, it starts up normally. As soon as I select any option, it hangs showing the "moving circle" cursor.
    I have completely uninstalled iTunes (using the instructions on the website including iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple mobile devices, and apple shared software) and removed all directories associated with iTunes.
    When I reinstalled iTunes it come up logged into my iTunes account so apparently the instructions on the website do not completely remove it. I also had the same problem.
    Over the last few weeks my problems with iTunes have gotten progressively worse.
    They began with my iPad. At this point iTunes itself was fine. I'd plug the iPad into iTunes (either starting up with it conneceted or plugging it in after iTunes was running) and iTunes would hang. This would last for about 5 minutes and then iTunes would become responsive again, but the iPad would not show up. After I would get control of iTunes back, I ran the diagnostics under help and the iPad was recoginized. My iPad also showed up as a device under windows. My iPhone 4 and iPod nano both still worked properly.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes using the instructions on the website and it didn't help.
    I left the situation as it was for a couple weeks, not syncing my iPad. Then today, my iPhone 4 began doing the same time. iTunes would hang for 5 minutes with my phone connecetd and then the phone would fail to show up when I got control back.
    I again uninstalled iTunes, but this time I renamed the iTunes directory so that it would build a new one when I reinstalled.
    After reinstalling, iTunes comes up. Shows an empty library which I expected, shows me logged into my iTunes account which I didn't expect, and it hangs (with the moving blue circle cursor) whenever I try to do anything.
    I also tested plugging my iPad and iPgone into another computer with iTunes installed and they work fine.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    I did follow the instructions and deleted the preference files. This didn't help, but did get iTunes to treat the installation as a new one.
    A new version of iTunes came out today, so I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. I again removed the preference files. After installing, iTunes itself seemes to be working. I can log in with my Apple ID and it does not hang anymore. Unfortuantely the problem with attaching my iPhone 4 and iPad still occurs. When I plug them in iTunes "hangs" for about 5 minutes. When iTunes becomes responsive again, the devices do not show up. Windows recognizes the devices and iTunes diagnostics also reconize the devices even down to the serial number. Maybe resetting the devices would help, but you can understand I how reluctant I am to do anything that could make them inoperable.
    My iPod nano still connects to iTunes fine.
    So I have a functioning iTunes program with nothing in the library, a functioning apple ID, and no way to sync, upgrade, or backup my iPad and phone.
    BTW polydorus ... thanks for taking the time to help. It's a thankless job trying to help the frustrated.

    Symptoms
    In rare circumstances, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may not be recognized in iTunes on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard after the Mac is restarted. If you reinstall iTunes, your device may be recognized. However, restarting your Mac may result in the device not being recognized again.
    Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Resolution
    Follow the below steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    Note: Some of these steps will require that you enter your Mac OS X user password. If you do not know your user's password, follow this article first.
    Install all software updates. If you have an update available for an SDK (Software Development Kit), be sure these updates are also installed. Do this by clicking the Apple () menu, choosing Software Update, and following the on-screen instructions. If you need to download iTunes manually, you can download it here.
    Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the Trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
    Restart your Mac, open iTunes, and connect your device. If your device shows up in iTunes, restart your Mac one more time and confirm the issue is still resolved.

    Then try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here -> Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
