Applescript bug in new iTunes 7?

I have used the following applescript (in an Automator workflow) with version 6.x of iTunes in the past:
-- Delete tracks from library and return the file location(s)
on run {input, parameters}
set these_tracks to the input
tell application "iTunes"
set these_files to {}
-- get the file path of each of the selected tracks
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_tracks
set this_track to item i of these_tracks
if the location of this_track is not missing value then
set the end of these_files to (the location of this_track)
end if
delete this_track
end repeat
end tell
return these_files
end run
This script would take iTunes items and extract their file paths, remove the track from itunes and then pass the file paths to the next action.
Once I upgraded to version 7 it now fails on the "delete this_track" line:
iTunes got an error: file track id 4771 of user playlist id 4745 of source id 39 doesn't understand the delete message. (-1708)
Is there any way to verify this is a bug and send in a bug report for iTunes?
Thanks,

I was using the speakers before the update and they were fine. I use them for other things and they are fine, so it isn't the speakers, its the upgrade.

  • Bug in new Itunes U app

    Hello to everyone.
    I just wanted to report a bug found in the new Itunes U app. I didn't know where else to post it.
    After looking through Review Lecture 1 slides from "Standford iPad and iPhone App Development" I experience the following problem.
    As you cann see, the app didn't re-scale well after such action.
    I hope it helps.

    I was using the speakers before the update and they were fine. I use them for other things and they are fine, so it isn't the speakers, its the upgrade.

  • Bug in new iTunes 7.3.2

    I just upgraded my copy of iTunes with the new upgrade that was susposed to fix some security problems. I don;t know about that but it did add a problem. Now every song I play from my play list or library has a little noise added, kind of like an old cassett that has a clicking noise when you play it. Can this be fixed or can I go back to un do the up grade so that my music dosn't have this clicking noise? Some up grade this was BTW.

  • The newest version of Itunes does not have all of my old music library currently on my Ipod/Ipad. I have purchsed songs now in new Itunes and I can't sync to get them on my Ipod.

    I downloaded the new version of Itunes but it is missing all of my playlists. And I've purchased new music now in the new Itunes but it will not upload to my IPod

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

  • New iTunes versions no longer display the artist named "+/-"

    Ok, so I know the new iTunes versions have put non-alphabetic artists at the end of the list, which is insanely re tar ded. But that's not my problem right now.
    With the new sorting algorithm, *one of my artists has actually disappeared!!!*
    The band is called +/-. Pronounced "plus minus" but written with just the symbols and the slash.
    (Their website is at http://plusmin.us)
    They no longer show up anywhere in my iTunes Browser list (View -> Show Browser). Not at the top, not at the bottom, nowhere.
    If you turn on View -> Show Browser and search for +/- then in the Artist section (of the music browser) it says "All (0 Artists)" and in the Album section it says "All (7 Albums)" followed by the list of albums. So the music is still there, it just appears that the new iTunes database and search can't really process a band name that starts with anything non-alphanumeric. W T F ?
    A seemingly related bug is that when I view the main iTunes library (all artists), and scroll down to where +/- should be at the end of the list, the albums by +/- are not listed together. They are scattered around with my un-tagged tracks and not grouped together, say, like all of my albums by U2. (I also have the same problem with the band named "!!!" in the main library list -- but at least they show up in the Browser list)
    Whoever changed the iTunes sorting or database listing algorithm at Apple should fix this (and then be fired). I don't know how to submit this as a BUG to the iTunes team, but I thought maybe posting it here would help.
    Does anyone else have any "missing" artists in their iTunes libraries now?
    What is Apple thinking? How did this get past QA?
    FYI, there was no problem with this before Apple totally changed how artists are listed in the last few updates to iTunes. Why change it if it's not broken?
    Ben

    Immediately above your post, I explained how you might be able to fix this quickly and easily using Sort fields. You saw how to change multiple Sort fields at once, yes? Have you tried that?
    I have a Regina Spektor track called * in my library, and it appears just fine. Just to check, I changed one of my Artist names to +/-, and it was sorted to the end of the library when I sorted by Artist, no problem. +/- also appeared at the bottom of the Artist Browser pane, as I'd expect. If your +/- tracks aren't showing up, perhaps there's another explanation? They're not checked as compilations, are they? Have you tried re-importing them?
    If my copy of iTunes has no trouble handling non-alphanumeric fields, that suggests to me that there's something else causing the problem. Sometimes libraries do become corrupted. Providing more information may help.
    (I just checked with "!!!" also; that works fine as well.)

  • 60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

    What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
    Can someone help please?
    Thanks!
    Bummed & tuneless in Blue Mounds, WI

    I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
    With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
    I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
    Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
    I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
    Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
    Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

  • How do you change the artwork in the new itunes? it won't let me delete it

    how do you change the album artwork in the new iTunes? it won't let me delete the old artwork even when I highlight it

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • New itunes library does not indicate what's watched or unwatched !

    It seems to have been a bug they have fixed in the new update:  iTunes 11.0.1.

  • I upgraded to Yosemite several days ago.  The new itunes will display episode numbers.  Does the new itunes allow editing of episode numbers?

    I upgraded to the new operating system, Yosemite, on my 13" macbook pro.  I installed the new itunes in the process of upgrading.  My itunes library includes music files with "episode numbers."  iTunes will display these, but appears not to allow me to enter episode numbers for newly acquired music.  Is there a way I can edit episode numbers?  If not, is it considered a bug?  Can we expect a future release of iTunes in which this is fixed?  If not, why not?  Why has Apple disrupted its customer base's use of its products?  It doesn't seem like a good idea to eliminate useful functionality from your products.

    I don't know why it would take 6 hours to back up your iPad - unless you have the 64GB device and you have it loaded to the gills with content already. It should not take that long.
    You can backup your iPad to your computer and transfer all purchases into iTunes and you should not have to restore the device to factory settings. When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left sidebar and select Transfer Purchases. That will put all of the apps and purchased content into Tunes on your Mac. Let that process complete and then right click on the device name again and select Backup this time. Let that process complete.
    Now go into all of the different tabs of iTunes, Info, Apps, Music, Photos, etc, etc, and make sure that you have selected all of the content that you want to sync with the iPad. Put checkmarks in all of the headings as well - Sync Apps, Sync Music, etc.... Then click on Sync in the lower right corner.
    If something goes wrong - or if you forget an app or a playlist or album - or anything at all - just go back into the corresponding tab in iTunes, select the item to sync - and click on Apply in the lower right corner.
    After you do all of this - you can set up Wi-Fi syncing and it should go without issue. You can backup to iCloud or to iTunes as you see fit. Personally, I am not relying solely on iCloud yet. I do backup to iCloud, but I still back up to iTunes on my Mac as well - and I use Time Machine to backup all of that up.

  • New itunes 8.0  Visualizer problem

    I've been using my visualizer on the new itunes and it freezes when i try to exit or i skip songs. My laptop is brand new bought it three weeks ago so i don't think it could be the problem. I was wondering if this is just a bug the developers didn't notice?

    I also realized that if you connect your ipod to your computer when the visualizer is running it freezes itunes and you need to close it but force.

  • Is this grafic bug on the iTunes search common?

    With the new iTunes, I got this grafic bug in the iTunes store.
    What to do to fix this?

    You can set the Default Type before you send the message under SENDING options to TEXT (default is automatic)
    But then all it does it will not send the message if more than 20 recipients are there it will tell you how many recipients over 20 you have entered.
    Say you have a group of 26 contacts and then you enter that and then select Options -> Sending options -> Message Type
    Set to TEXT
    Then if you try to send it will tell you that you have to remove 6 recipients.

  • New itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?

    new itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?

    Jim,
    Thanks for the quick response!
    That is what it needed, I deleted it and the redid the settings
    Now ripping again @ 40x +
    So just for fun, i checked the error correction box again and did a rip at 8x as expected.
    Then I unchecked the error correction box, and again the problem remained.
    Looks to be a bug discovery in iTunes 9, as I did this on my MacPro as well and it did the same thing.
    I had to delete the plist again to resolve it.
    Thanks so much!

  • New iTunes Software

    I am having real problems with the NEW iTunes software. Not recognising my devices all three of them iPhone and two iPods, no buying from the Itunes store this Xmas then.. Also not loading up after closing down, I have waisted 2 hours of my life trying to sort this out and now I have given up. Come on Apple sort it out..

    It just fixes a few bugs.
    When you install it there is a section about "What's new in this version?"
    See this as well...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes604.html
    At the bottom it says...
    What’s New in this Version
    - iTunes 6.0.3 includes stability and performance improvements over iTunes 6.0.2. (I imagine a typo but...)
