All OS X is really buggy - mouse lag, bluetooth dropouts, FCP X beachballs - iOS issues with iTunes = CRAP
I have had so many issues of late with both OS X Mavericks and iOS 8, that I am looking to change. Bluetooth dropouts that infuriate me despite swapping to brand new batteries, cleaning terminals, adding alfoil to hold the batteries more snuggly, etc; to FCP X constantly beach-balling (and I have 32GB RAM running with OS X running from an SSD); to itunes refusing to play any of my content on my new iPhone 6+. I have erased the phone twice and reloaded content after setting it up as a "new phone".
Is this April, and I have missed something?
Come on Apple, you have become an absolute JOKE. iCloud not working, iOS 8 not working, Bluetooth dropouts, I can't verify my new iPhone with iCloud Keychain for some unknown reason (wants me to reset and retry all the time).
If I wanted this cr@p, I would have stayed with W7....
Anyone else having issues with the new OSs?

I recently updated itunes to the latest version and now the programme will not open.
I have tried all suggestions such as reinstalling the programme, rebooting you name it, nothing.
This most frustrating and completely unacceptable, especially when a company such as Apple touts itself being the leader in music technology yet does not respond directly to questions about faults in their system, but prefers to leave to disgruntled customers to try and sort it out amongst themselves
This not the first time I have had frustrating problems with the Apple system. Perhaps someone could suggest a more reliable system to switch to. Someone with a better troubleshooting system.Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year. -
Magic mouse lags bluetooth audio
Magic mouse lags bluetooth audio with cracking and pitch shift.
After Magic mouse disconnected, then bluetooth speakers sounds perfect.
Please help!!!I have this same issue, but opposite. My audio in my bluetooth headphones sounds great, but when they are connected my bluetooth mouse (microsoft 5000) is all over the place.
What's the deal. I didn't know my $2000 mac would be so inferior to my $800 pc in this regards (otherwise very happy with switch to mac) -
I'm having a huge issue with itunes locating my missing files..and it's too many for me to locate 1 by 1..It says I'm missing over 3,000 songs and They are all in my music folder..What can I do to fix this issue? I've looked at all the tutorials on youtube and none of it works. I recently got a new computer and I Back-Up all my music and itunes playlist and I import it on my new computer with the new itunes and I go to play a few songs, it says I'm missing them I locate a few but it's still like 3,000 missing and again they are all on the computer and in one folder..Please Help !
I did that and nothing changed half my songs still have examination marks beside them
I also just tried dragging my folder of music int he playlist and it duplicated all of my songs? My playlist was at 5k now it's at 10k becuz of 3 duplicates of songs. Is there a way to delete multiple duplicate files? -
MAC OS X 10.6.3 issues with iTunes/Magic mouse
This is strange. Somehow I was able to upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6 to 10.6.3. How was that possible? I did this about a week or so ago. 10.6.3 is not available on Apple's download site today 2-7-2010. How did I get access to it?
A couple of weeks ago, I bought the Snow Leopard CD and installed it over my Tiger OS, without any problems. Then i bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse which prompted me to upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.2., as well as upgrade the software to the wireless peripherals. Went to Apple's download page and somehow downloaded OS X 10.6.3. Hmmm? I also installed the latest security update at this time too. After all installs, at this point, I wasn't experiencing any issues with my laptop.
But then, I upgraded iTunes to 9.0.3. At this point I started experiencing problems after shutting down and then booting up the next day. iTunes began playing music slowly, music wasn't garbled, but the songs sounded out of tune (playing from my hard drive). Also, my wireless magic mouse got jumpy and exhibited delayed reaction. I ended up reinstalling OS X 10.6 (from the cd) over the existing OS (10.6.3), and now iTunes works just fine. The reinstall of OS X 10.6 from the cd did wipe out my software upgrades for the wireless peripherals and i have yet to upgrade them. i'm just glad iTunes is working well again.
My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem? Why was my mouse also displaying problems? And how was I able to get OS X 10.6.3 from Apple several days ago when they don't have that version available for download on the site today? Confusing.My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem?
Even if a user has access to the beta, and knew of an issue they are working on, he/she would not be able to comment on it here. This forum is only for OS's that have been released and is covered by a Terms of Use agreement.
Sounds like you got an unintended update in some sort of fluke accident, and since you've removed it, there's no way of telling what caused the problem or if it was the OS or program or both. -
I have had my laptop stolen with my itunes account on it with all of my music/ films/ apps etc. Can I reverse back up my new laptop loaded with itunes installed from my ipad and iphone apple devices?

iTunes has tried to update itself and runs into an error and tells me to manually install. When I d/l and run the iTunesSetup.exe file I always encounter the following error message...
"A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C;|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi" and iTunes does not update to iTunes 10.4.1.
Anyone know what is creating this error message? Thanks for the help...(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
OK, so I have the Apple TV 3, iMac with Mountain Lin, iTunes 11, iPad 3 with iOS 6.
All on the same home network.
All signed in with the same Apple ID.
All with home sharing enabled.
But home sharing does not work!Try rebooting all devices including the router.

I got most of my contacts back, but there was no rhyme or reason for which ones were dropped. I literally called someone and had no problems. The phone was on my desk just sitting there. About thirty minutes later, I got a call from my wife and it didn't show her as a contact, just the number. That's when I realized all my contacts were gone. I retrieved most of them, but many are still not there. I did the latest update before all this happened. Now, I can't add appointments, I can't text some people, even after I add them to my contacts again, and I've got no idea how to fix this issue. Thanks for any help!!
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Hi,
I'm getting the blank screen in my itunes store. I followed the help script here Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support and downloaded the autoruns,exe but it just shows my comp has Bonjour (which is apple). But now what? How do I fix the blank screen?
Thanks!Hello there, livviboobear.
It sounds like your error message is in regards to having installed an older version of iTunes on your computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers up the step-by-step on how to properly uninstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

16 GB iPhone 5. Used to hold about 20 apps and I could load 10GB of music. Today, I was syncing and only had space for 3GB of music. Over 8GB is being used by "Other". Anybody know what "Other" is and how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome. -

Hi! I have an iPad 2 since october or so, and i've been synchronizing it with my desktop computer. Now I've just bought a laptop, and i'd like to now if it is posible to synchronize it with my iPad, and transfer all my apps, photos, music, and videos wich are on my iPad.
I already know that you can't synchronize an iPad with two computers, but I don't know if I can transfer all my apps, music, photos, and videos to a new computer by synchronizing it with the iPad.
Thank youThese are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where your desktop has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

My Magic Mouse now lags terribly to the point it is unusable. I am running Lion on a MacBook Pro and had to have the keyboard replaced. I experienced no problems prior to the replacement. I have cleaned the mouse, repaired permissions, rebooted and restarted the mouse still terrible lag. The trackpad works fine so there must be some issue with the bluetooth connection, but there are no other bluetooth devices near the mouse. There were no other changes to the system other than the keyboard replacement which should not affect the mouse. Suggestions? I really do not want to have to go back to the Genius Bar for the third time this week to get this fixed.
I too had the same problem. Terrible lag especially when I am playing game to the point of not being able to do anything effectively at all. Been reading up on the different forums and then found one solution that fixed it immediately.
Flexiglass: I have both Flexiglass and Moom installed on my system to help with resizing my windows. Once I shut off Flexiglass, it was all good. Maybe this?
Other possiblility is Spotlight re-indexing everything.
Hope this help.
