Serious issues with AirTunes playback since "upgrading" to iTunes 7.3.2 (6)

Dear All,
I'd appreciate your help - I use iTunes a lot, and absolutely love it. Most of the time, I use my stereo for playback, via AirTunes. While the delay in connecting with the stereo has increased significantly over the past eighteen months or so (it used to take about one and a half seconds to connect to the speakers, whereas now, anything below ten seconds can be considered quick), and there seem to be some minor issues (after pausing, you cannot always resume the playback without switching to the MacBook's speakers, and then back to the remote speakters) that never really bothered me.
Anyhow, since upgrading to iTunes 7.3.2 (6) three days ago, things have gone seriously wrong. I never had any playback issues in iTunes, even over very long periods of continuous use. Now, however, the playback just stops periodically, and sometimes restarts on its own after a second or two. Sometimes, however, it doesn't - and using the remote control to restart the playback doesn't work either.
I should add that the hardware situation is unchanged, and that I always use my iPod, via my MacBook Pro.
Thanks already for your help.
Thomas

Do you have ReadyBoost enabled on the PC? If so, by way of experiment, try disabling that as per the instructions from the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback performance issues
... any help at all with the performance issues?

Issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Yosemite

Hi,
I have reached out to Microsoft for this issue and they are saying it's an issue with Apple, so I don't really know who to reach out to. I am running Yosemite 10.10.1 on my Macbook Pro. I have had Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed on this computer since I purchased it in 2010. Everything ran fine until I upgraded to Yosemite. Other than everything running waaaay slower than it did before the upgrade (slower than my Dell, if that tells you anything), my main issue is that my AOL email account will not sync incoming messages correctly in Outlook. It syncs both of my other email accounts just fine, but the AOL account is off. It imports only some emails and then it also converts emails that I have read on my phone into blank "no subject", "no sender" messages. The messages all still show just fine on aol.com and on my iphone. Very weird. I have completely uninstalled & reinstalled Microsoft Office, so I am assuming that it's not a problem with office, but with Yosemite. Any one else have a similar problem?
Again, I know this might not be the best forum for this question, but my Apple friends are the smartest people I know, so I'm hoping someone out there can help me out (and Microsoft has NOT been helpful at all)!
Thanks!

In late November I bought a second Macbook pro simply to have assured redundancy . Friday AOL stopped working on both computers and then another client em using MS server also failed.
I can read mail but not send .......... my guess is that it is the last Yosemite upgrade
I wonder how Timmy would feel if he launched in the Apple jet only to find that it's landing gear would not extend on landing because Gulfstream had sneaked into the hangar and modified the landing gear, knowing that it would fail. if he can visualize how I feel having been unable to work on a number of critical problems over the weekend. I bought two mac's because I wanted superior performance, not because I wanted to be a software troubleshooter. Simply an inexcusable betrayal of Apples customers ..

Issues with iPhone 5 since upgrading to iOS 8

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else out there is having problems with iPhone 5 after upgrading to new software level? I noticed after install (seemed to go smoothly but slowly) that my phone now seems to have a hard time when I power the phone on. It seems to take forever, and sometimes have to hit the power and home buttons together to force the action. I realize this could be some other hardware issue, but it strange that it only started after the upgrade. Everything else seems to be normal after the initial difficulties, but it has never done this to me before. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Also, phone freezes and will not answer incoming call when you swipe. Poor phone voice connections with constant dropped calls. It doesn't seem to recognize my 3G microcell

Issues with galaxy s4 since upgrade

Last week my phone did an update, now i have constant issues with it freezing and texts not being sent. any suggestions?

If you updated to Kit Kat, I would run a system cache, followed by a Factory Reset.. see if that helps

Cant' sync ical with my iphone since upgrading to itunes 11

Since I upgraded to itunes 11 my iphone is not syncing with my MacBook ical. I have spent about 5 hours resetting settings and not getting anywhere. Any suggestions?

Changing this setting on my iphone then changed how itunes reads it and lets you sync. So simple.

I solved my own problem.
After updating to the newest iTunes it thought i wanted to sync with iCloud.
On my phone i went to settings -> icloud -> and turned off iCloud for calendar.
After doing this the iTunes menu came back that enabled me to sync with iCal.

Muffled scratchy playback since upgrade of itunes on windows xp

Ever since the previous upgrade of itunes, before the 10.4, any new cd I try to import plays back quiet, scratchy and muffled, so pretty useless!
All the other songs that are in the liabry play back fine, but anything new I try to import, just won't play back.
I've changed every setting I can think of, and I even thought about uninstalling itunes, and having a go from sctatch, but then I think if I can't import anything now, I'll have no chance after an re-install. I've got Windows xp, service pack 2, so I know all thats ok.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, please help, as I'm at my wits end, and I need to update my ipod!!!!!
Thanks!

Scratch that, I've fixed it.... just changed the import to a different speed..... not sure why I have had to do it, must be something to do with the new version of Itunes!

Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

Hi All,
My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system
Thanks!

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

Try some basic troubleshooting:

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

HELP: SERIOUS ISSUES WITH BILLING

I have had serious issues with BT since joining their service. Without getting into the issues we had with the BT homehub and other things at the start of the contract with them here is what's been happening.
When we joined BT we explained that we wanted a monthly direct debit. Sounds simple enough but apparently not.
I have phoned over 6 times in the last year to change this. It has still not happened. Several times we were told that on the system it said monthly for it to be then taken out quarterly. In July while we were away this happened again. Only as we assumed that as they had informed us it would definitely be on monthly direct debit that it was the money for the whole of the quarter was not there. So when they took the money for a quarterly bill again. We were charged. It has set back other bills as the money had been eaten up by charges for this. As you can imagine we were quite annoyed. This was not our fault and we felt that BT were not capable of holding our account details without taking money they we repeatedly requested not to. I admit we should have kept a closer eye on our bills account but you don't think that a company will repeatedly do this to you.
After phone calls it emerged that they would not say more than a 'sorry' about this.
The saga then continued. I cancelled the quarterly direct debit at the back and have asked BT to send me monthly paper bills. Then last month our phone and internet was cut off.
We rang up and suggested that due to the mix up could they add the money we owed to our monthly bills and we'd pay this off on top of the monthly bill. Despite that the reason we owe this at all is not through any fault of our own but through theirs. The money would have been available had they taken it as repeatedly requested.
We were on the phone for 1hr and 10 mins ( 21st September) to three different people. No, they said must be paid in 10 day. My partner only managed to get money off this in about an hour - the point being we were happy to pay the whole amount over a year and were not allowed. We asked to speak to a manager after 1hr and 10 and were put back to the start of the queue. 16 minutes later the man we spoke to said a manager named Samantha would call us back. No-one did.
On the 22nd of september a rather annoyed me called back and repeatedly requested a manager - sadi would be put though. After 17 minutes the phone went dead.
Called later on same thing phone went dead after requesting a manager at 10 minutes.
Later on called for 28 minutes and told the call centre the issue £20 deducted from amount but said it had to be paid in ten days and a bill would be sent. Was told that the internet would be reconnected that day.
23rd September was hung up on after thre minutes on requesting why the internet had not been connected.
Phoned later. The man that I spoke to said that no action had been put through to reconnect the internet. He would do it and it would be through by 5pm.
My partner phoned at 8pm when the internet still had not been reconnected. It was done the next day.
Today BT phoned to ask if I had the bill ( Not sent) and tell me that the line will be disconnected by the end of the day. i explained that we were in the middle of complaints procedures with them. She looked on the system and said that there were no notes on the account. I asked for a manager and then asked for this managers superior. She put me through to someone that when questioned was not her superior and half way through my explanation of this....you guessed it..... the line went dead.
I am so annoyed that we've been fine with bill paying and as of their mistake we're now in debt to them and feel like we can't sort it out as there is not anyone who will listen or help. Has anyone had similar probelms or does anyone have a number for their English call centre?
Jess

hi Jess,
I am really sorry that you have had so much trouble trying to get this sorted out. I'll get this straightened out.
Could you drop me in an email please to the address in my profile with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
Cheers

Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

Serious Issues with FCPX. Advice?

I am having serious issues with Final Cut Pro X. I can only edit for about 10 or 15 minutes before all clips in my Timeline and my Event Browser start appearing as either green or black w/ unexplained artifacts in the viewer.
Once this starts happening in Final Cut, my entire system is affected. Images in Aperture, iPhoto, Quicklook, etc begin to appear as just jumbled artifacts. Even my desktop goes wonky. I took a picture of my desktop with my phone just to provide an example.
Quitting Final Cut has no affect on resolving the issue. However, completely shutting down my system and restarting does correct the problem. I would think it is a graphics card issue, except for the fact that it only starts happening when I’m using Final Cut. I can watch HD movies, play graphics intensive games, edit in Photoshop, encode video in MPEG Streamclip and so forth and there are no issues until I start using Final Cut again. Also I have run the Apple provided diagnostic tools and TechTool Pro, both of which report no problems with my video card.
I have tried using optimize and proxy media in Final Cut, but that does not improve the situation.
I am currently at a complete loss. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sound advice. However, I have already taken my iMac to the Apple Store. While there, the issue did not occur and they said that it passed their hardware tests. They said they could replace the logic board and gpu, but since they were not able to diagnose the problem they couldn't say for sure that would fix anything. Since I am no longer under AppleCare, I wanted to look for other solutions before trying an expensive and uncertain fix.

Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.
