10.6.7 iTunes and Maybe General Sound Issue

I updated to 10.6.7 today and now iTunes will not open and I am getting a (-200) error. Also, when I adjust the volume, I am no longer getting that 'doink doink' sound, so I don't know if they're both related. I still have functioning sound through other apps I've tried, and the boot chime still rings, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
I completely uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled only to get the same issue. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.

It's been a week of trouble shooting why there is no sound from my Mac Mini to the home theatre set up, with no luck! No digital audio out from Mini since the 10.6.7 uodate. Video content is streaming fine, just not the audio. All other devices are working fine: DVD, Bluray & TV have no audio prblems. The Sound Preferences for Audio Out is greyed out and shoed Optical Digital Out. I have swapped audio cables, verified the red light at the end of the cble plugged into the sound system, swapped audio cables, done a clean install of 10.6 and the Combo 10.6.6 (before the problem), still no audio. This setup has worked flawlessly since it was set up in July 2010 - the only thing I changed before the audio problems started was apply the 10.6.7 update.

  • I just typed in "top 40 hits in the search column in itunes, and the songs sound completely different! It doesn't even sound like the artist is singing the songs! What's up with that??

    I just searched for "top 40 hits on itunes and the songs that came up don't sound remotely like the ones i hear on the radio(not remixes) just the regular song, so what's up with that?

    They aren't the ones you hear on the radio.
    They are the same songs remade by some unknown label to make money.

  • ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
    1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
    2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
    3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
    4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
    5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
    6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
    These errors keep appearing one after the other.
    I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
    I have tried changing time zones.
    I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
    Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
    Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
    The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
    I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
    Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
    Thanks in Advance

    I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
    I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
    I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
    iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
    Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
    "failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
    unknown error 0xE8004006
    "duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
    I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2401822
    Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
    A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.
    This section of the log looked interesting because it says it couldn't connect to USB mux port 32498

  • ITunes and iPad 4 sync issues

    After I have watched and deleted a video, if I do so on my iPhone or iPod touch when I sync then the blue circle disappears showing the video has been watched.
    However, on my new iPad 4, when I have watched and deleted a video, when I sync with iTunes the blue circle doesn't disappear and the video is still showing as un-watched.
    Any ideas ?
    I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes and iOS on the iPad.

  • Firewire 410 and itunes and copyproted music sounds BAD

    when i play copyprotected music from iTunes 6 via my firewire out M-Audio Firewire 410, (latest revisions) the audio phases in and out with digital distorsion, suddenly sometimes completley quiet, other times digitally distored and hollow, sometimes digitally distored and sounding like i'm listening thru a long tube.
    The distortion can be stopped by stopping the song and playing from the stopped point. Also it seems Safari helps cause these problems somehow, surfing causes audio glitches and burps.
    when i play the copyprotected music from quicktime alone, i don't have as many issues.

    Actually all music sounds bad.
    usually when the waveform amplitude of the music is low, like at the beginning or end of the song is when the digital tubular distortion begins. but sometimes its just right in the middle of a song.
    What's the point of having a high end system if decoding the audio stream outside the mac is so flaky or likely to change so much to kiss the behinds of the music industry executives. A new version of itunes = a new version of copyprotection and streaming which means these digital decoding boxes overnight become obsolete with every iTunes upgrade. Pointless.
    Stick to your headphone jacks people.

  • Movies on itunes and ipod no sound

    I just got my ipod vid and i wanted to put some vidoeos on it but each time that i use utunes to convert them, there is no sound. The video is fine but nothing else. There isnt any when playing the converted video in itunes either. Also, is the conversion process normally reall slow?

    For my Mac I've been out of luck when it comes to random video files (videos from the internet). DVD's I can rip. I use an app called HandBrake.
    Sorry, I didn't know what kind of hardware you were useing. Can you be a little more specific?

  • New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

    Hello all,
    I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
    (HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
    Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
    I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
    Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

    Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one.  It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer.  You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

  • Itunes and Iphone 3gs syncing issues

    I have tried to sync my Iphone 3gs (3.1.3) and Itunes (9.1.1.11) a couple of times. It has been about 2 1/2 hours into each sync and it appears to get stuck, or atleast very slow, not even a 1/3 of the way. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    You could do that, or just completely reset your phone and re-sync everything. You may have a corrupted file somewhere that is causing the back-up to take so long. When I had the problem, it went away when I deleted the news reader apps. I think the apps where causing the problem because I could read the news articles offline, so they were being cached and all that content was being backed up every time as well. If you have any app like that where you can use it without a cell signal, it could be that.

  • Solution for sound issue with MCP78S chip

    I have had sound problems where sound would work sometimes then stop working for no reason. Or it would work after I changed the device order in KDE4 but it would only work for KDE4 programs not VLC or console apps.
    Output of
    # lspci
    is
    00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] High Definition Audio (rev a1)
    I installed the alsa package with pacman and noticed that alsamixer would use my PC speaker as the default device.
    So my solution to this issue is to blacklist the pc speaker module, this will stop the damn beeping when I use the console and fixed the sound issue.
    Open rc.conf and blacklist the modules
    MODULES=( !pcspkr !snd_pcsp )
    That is it, the modules will no longer be loaded and sound should be working fine after a reboot.

    i am having problems with this same chipset on my laptop, it plays but it skips some sound, and sometimes it stops completely, very annoying, i have not found any solution to this problem as yet

  • I rented a movie on iTunes and I tried to watch it on my Acer laptop, but the movie was skipping ahead, with no sound, and was skipping in general. I moved the movie to my iPhone, and my iPhone will not let me select the movie to play it. What do I do?

    UGHUGHUGHUGHUGHUGH.
    help please?

    yes yes and yes. but now the movie has completely disappered from my iTunes and from my iPhone. I had 16 days and 19 hours left to watch my movie when I started it, and after I started it I still had 23 hours to complete it. Now it is completely gone.

    In ITunes,
    my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
    on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
    songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
    synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
    about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
    library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
    an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

    This is good for me but what happened?
    I don't understand the question...  Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
    It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing.  That takes much longer than just syncing the songs. 
    Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting.  For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality.  You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

  • When I open a music in itunes got a message "connecting to apple tv" and got no sound from my mac

    When I open a music in itunes got a message "connecting to apple tv" and got no sound from my mac.

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.
