Problem with new iTunes & iPod update

Ever since installing the new iTunes update I've been having problems updating my iPod.
At first when I ran the new version of iTunes a message popped up telling me that I needed to update the software on my iPod. Upon trying to do that, another window popped up saying that 'iPod couldn't be mounted'.
So now my computer can't detect my iPod. I've restored my ipod which didn't help. I would reset my ipod but I can't even do that since when I run the ipod updater program it doesn't detect it. I've tried numerous times to see unplugging/plugging my ipod with the firewire and noticed the ipod hdd was whirring like crazy (and still no detection).
Since the last time I attempted doing that I've noticed that some of my mp3 files on my ipod have become corrupt and would stop halfway through play and just skip to the next song.
Any idea whats going on and how I could fix this??

Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different. I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review. I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking. Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts." When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000. Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently. I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later. In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me. When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again. Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts. I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400. Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them. Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
My question: How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook? And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders? The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me! I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi lastskier
Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
4. Run the install and reboot.
With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
Let me know how you get on.

Downloaded new iTunes/iPod updater, iTunes now crashes during iPod updating

I downloaded the new iTunes and iPod updater yesterday-- now when I plug my iPod into the USB, it recognizes my iPod, the "Updating iPod. Do not disconnect." message comes up, but as soon as "Updating Track 1 of 9." appears, I get a Send Error Report message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. etc" (I wasn't sure what, if anything, I shoudl include here from the Error Report Contents.) Has anyone else encountered this or have any tips? I've tried the uninstall/reinstall trick to no avail.
Thanks!

I fixed this for my Nano by using the iPod Updater Restore to revert the firmware to version 1.0 and removing iTunes 6.0.2 through Control Panel. I didn't delete the leftover directories. I then reinstalled iTunes version 6.0.1.3.
The Nano is now happily recopying all my music. Should be done by midnight.
Good luck.

More problems with new itunes not starting

Hi,
Have recently downloaded upgrade of iTunes and experienced the same problems as a few others - no response when trying to start it up. I was very happy indeed yesterday when the Quicktime standalone fix worked and my music reappeared. However, on restarting today, it's back to the square one - no response! Am I doing something wrong or is there anyone who can help?
HP Windows XP

I'm having the same problem on my desktop. I've done both a spyware search using ewido, and a virus check using symantec, neither of which helped. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that also didn't help. Each time I try staring itunes I get the message:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I'd be happy to send the error report that I get along with this message.
Oddly enough, this problem is only occuring on one computer. I have no problem with it on my laptop. I hadn't updated itunes for a while on my desktop.

Several problems with new itunes??!!

Getting much of the same issues with new version of itunes. Printing up cd covers, the playlist gets all jumbled up for some reason. Also, the thing that really gets me livid is before you used to be able to randomize your playlist and the order would change. This was cool if you were going to burn a cd and just wanted a random order different than the order you put the songs in your playlist. Now it seems you have to move the songs around instead of itunes "shuffle" changing the order for you. The shuffle does work for playback but not when you want to burn your cd in a different random order like the old itunes used to. I also used to like the old itunes that would show the cd artwork bigger during playback. Now it doesn't seem to have that feature. "Recently Played" folder doesn't appear to work as well. Itunes Store appears to be much slower while searching for music and tends to freeze up a lot. Sampling songs in the store also seems to need to "rebuffer" way more than the old version. Most of the time, I don't mind the updates. It takes some time getting used to it but eventually it gets easier. This update, however, I am not very happy with. Especially not being able to shuffle my "playlist" order. That ***!!

looks like this is a known issue for the album covers printing jumbled. several work arounds would be to try print in black and white theme. You can also try to save as a pdf and print from another application like word or paint or something

Problems with new iTunes categories

My podcast, the Amateur Traveler (http://AmateurTraveler.com) is having a weird problem with the new iTunes categories. Using the new guidelines I changed my two feeds (AAC, MP3) to have this for the category:
<itunes:category text="Society & Culture">
<itunes:category text="Places & Travel" />
</itunes:category>
Currently my podcast shows up as one of the top 100 in "Society & Culture" but does not show up in the top 100 in "Places & Travel". Since that is a subcategory that does not seem possible.
I looked at the feeds of some of the shows that are in the top 100 and they are still using the old category. So I added this to my rss feed.
<itunes:category text="Travel" />
But that does not seem to have fixed the problems.
Ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, but with "Sports & Rec" for the main category and "Professional" for the subcategory.
I show up in the "Show All" for Sports and Rec, but not at all in "Professional".
I know that our podcast is rated more popular than some podcasts that appear in the Top 100 for professional. We should be appearing ahead of them in that list, but we don't appear at all. Our podcasts have similar names, so if I do a search I can see that our popularity is higher. So why are they in the Top 100 and we aren't
I have my code typed correctly. I don't get it.

Problem with new Adobe 9 update

I updated my Adobe 9 today and now Safari is having problems loading, downloading, and printing documents. However, if I rightclick the PDF link and choose "Download Linked File," the document downloads fine. Any ideas about fixing the problem? Thanks.

This is NOT a solution, but it is the cause of the problem. You have to disable "Allow fast web view." To do so, open Adobe Reader and click Edit -> Preferences -> Internet and then uncheck "Allow fast web view." I had to do this on both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro. What that means is the PDF won't display until it's done downloading. However, I've been fighting this problem all day thinking it was a problem with one of our PDFs, and no, it's a problem with Chrome/Safari (Apple Web Kit) and Reader.
Software versions are below. I hope it helps!
Chrome 5.0.375.99

Problems with new iTunes update

I have recent update my iTunes to 12.1.0.71 on win7, however, the software keeps on not responding. I've tried repairing and re-installing but the problem persists. What should I do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
