After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

  • Does the latest update of itunes forbid imported music?

    Does the latest update for itunes forbid or restrict imported music? Say.. music from windows music player; i want to copy it over to itunes. will it allow that still?

    No version of iTunes "forbids" importing of media.
    Why do you think it would?

  • After doing a suggested update of itunes on my pc it will not open and gives me a msg saying msvcr80.dll is not on my computer and windows error 126 has occured

    After doing an update of itunes on my pc Itunes will no longer open and gives me a msg about MSVCR80.dll not on my computer and Itunes was installed incorrectly error 7 (windows error 126)

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • After doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    hiya!
    I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
    not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

  • HELP! After doing a recent update (Version4.4.2) on my Droid Razr M my messaging has stopped!

    HELP! After doing a recent update (Version4.4.2) on my Droid Razr M my messaging has stopped working. Every time I try to open to sent a text I get ,"Unfortunately, messaging has stopped" message. Any ideas on how to correct this issue??? not liking this at all!!!

    Ok got in touch with Live Chat and fixed it. Go to app manager and open messaging there. Clear cache, data then force stop. That fixed it! But when I opened messaging I could only read messages couldn't reply. At the top of the screen was a message asking to set default either as Google hangouts or SMS. once you set the default messaging should be fully functional. Hope it helps.

  • ITunes stops responding immediately after opening

    My iTunes stops responding immediately after opening and even force-quit doesn't do.
    Baically it freezes between pressing it and opening the window. In my large library, I can see that it loads it and then nothing more. The menu appears and then the wheel. Force quitting doesn't shut the program, no matter how I do it. It leaves the arrow and the only way is to restart the computer and start again.
    I tried using another account, and it does the same. I tried with a new library. I tried with new prefs folder both on the user and on the Mac HD. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I even tried reinstalling the whole OS X - but nothing. The only thing is that after zapping PRAM it might work once or twice, but no more.
    This is with iTunes 7.0.2, QuickTime 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.8
    I don't know what else to do.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It started recently - maybe about two weeks ago - and occasionally when I launch iTunes it just freezes. I can't force quit it completely - it still shows in the Dock as though it's running, though it's not present in Activity Monitor.
    Curiously, I've also had a couple of kernel panics when clicking iTunes buttons in the past week. I don't recall any system update that might have affected either iTunes or QuickTime, so I'm stumped... The only way to get iTunes back is to log out or restart.

  • After doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly

    Since yesterday, after doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly - the Dock icon is not bouncing nor showing any number for new messages. Very annoying, since I usually have Messages on background while working and I now i don't realize if people is chatting me unless I open the messages wondows.

    Hi,
    Check System Preferences > Notification is set for Messages
    In Messages > Preferences > General Section change the Sound option for Message Received.
    Restart the app and test this sound is (still) playing.
    Place app in background an iMessages "yourself" form your iPhone.
    Does the sound Play ?

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • My G5's hard drive died after doing a software update while iPhone was connected.

    My G5's hard drive was corrupted and unbootable after doing a software update while my iPhone 4 was connected. Coincidence or related?
    Attempts at rebooting produced the file folder icon with flashing question mark. It's been a LONG time since I last saw that.
    Disk Utility/First Aid reported that drive had "invalid node structure." The disk could not be repaired because it "could not be unmounted."
    Is the failure possibly related to the iPhone being connected at the time of the software update and restart?

    Possible the iPhone had something to do with it, but I like to make sure the Disk Directory & Permissions are good before any update.
    Was that Repair/Verify done when booted from the Install Disc?
    You must repair the HD,  if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it then...
    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

  • After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    What upgrade did you apply?  As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Apple TV stops playing music after 5 minutes requiring iTunes restart

    I am using a 2nd gen Apple TV, Apple Airport Extreme, and a PC.  Since the latest Apple TV update, whenever we play music from our iTunes library the music only plays a maximum of 5 minutes then stops.  To get it to play again I have to exit iTunes on my PC and start it up again.  There are no error messages to indicate what may have happened.  I have tried a bunch of different things including restarting everything multiple times, disabling the screen saver on the Apple TV and restarting my router.
    I have been using this particular Apple TV since release without issue and and have only experienced this since the last Apple TV update.  Help!
    Thanks

    I have the same problem and haven't found an answer or seen one. I don't have any problems downloading/streaming off the net but the iTunes timeout is driving me crazy. Did you ever find the problem?

    I  updated to a newer itunes version and now itunes will not let me play a bunch of my music.  ***? anyone know what the deal is with that?

    How could anyone possibly know as you've provided no details.
    What happens when trying to play the media in question?
    Any errors?
    Is there an ! to the left of the media?  If so, this means iTunes is unable to locate the media file.
