Argh! My itunes has gone crazy!

Ok, so I tried to listen to a song in itunes today, but when I pressed play it just ran through all the songs in a random order, without stopping to play them.... it's v. weird, i've looked through all the settings and can't see anything that could be causing it. It's never done this before and I haven't changed any settings since I used it last night. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how I can fix it?

Glad to hear you got things working again, Claire.
I had an IT friend of mine come over and it turns out it was the firewall, it wouldn't let iTunes have access to certain things so he granted it permission and it was instantly fixed.
Thank you kindly for reporting back about your resolution. Apologies for the nosy question, but which make of firewall are you using? (Although I've seen firewall permissions implicated in other iTunes problems, I hadn't seen one associated with a "transparent" iTunes before ... so I was thinking it might be worth checking on the possibility with other folks reporting a transparent iTunes where the DirectX and/or video drivers don't seem to be involved.)

ITunes has gone crazy in Mountain Lion - HELP!

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and now iTunes appears to take over my computer whenever I have my iPhone, iPod or iPad attached. If I switch to another app, the computer switches back to iTunes after a few seconds. If I quit iTunes, it starts up again by itself.
Ejecting the devices in the column browser seems to stop this behavior from happening, but that means I cannot sync or charge my devices while I'm trying to do anything else on my computer.

I don't have iTunes misbehaving so badly, taking over as if to posses the computer. However it does seem to be trying real hard to do something! After being open a couple hours, ripping a couple CD's it begins to use excessive CPU 50 - 70 % on my 2011 MBP i7 8GB. The tempature then raises excessively. I use iStat and Fan Control to keep it tamed. It is obvious it is iTunes because once it wants to creep over 170 degrees F with fans at 4100 RPM I feel compelled to close it. CPU usage and temputare decrease to normal immediately.
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Have suffered the wireless hang, and now this.

Help, my system has gone crazy!

My imac G5 running Leopard, 10.58 Processor 18 GHz, Memory 2GB has gone crazy. I cannot open ITunes. If I try to download a small file it says my memory is nearly full and I need to clear disk space. Okay I have a few songs on iTunes and 7,900 photos on iPhoto, but that is all. I try to open a document in Word and it says 'you are working without a Word work file and your memory is nearly full'. I am not receiving e-mails when I know they have been sent. What is happening?

Don't worry about Filevault, likely you're not using it if you don't know what it is, but...

Less than 2GB free is very dangerous, you could loose everything as it's not really free space for our use.
An 80GB drive is really too small for later versions of OSX, you need to free up at the very least another 10 to 20GB.

My 3GS has gone crazy

I have a 3Gs that has gone crazy. Out of a sudden, voice control starts, plays music and even makes calls sometimes, the phone starts switching between applications (closes and opens them) and I can't do anything to stop it even when I touch the cancel button. It does this over and over again. At the same time this problem happened, the home button stopped working. Well it works sometimes when I restart the phone but not always. I don't think it's a matter of pressing the button hard because when it works, it's always the same press I use as before.
I upgraded to iOS4 but the problem still exists. I hope someone out there can give a hand.
Thanks

I did restore the device couple of times and I still have the same problem .. And on more thing, everytime I restored it, I get a msg on iTunes that the device is in recovery mode and that I had to restore the device!!

Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
cheers.

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

HT1277 Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

My iphone 5 has gone crazy...

HELP HELP HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED MY IPHONE.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Be aware that the iPhone warranty is NOT International. You will need to either return to the US with the device and take it to Apple or ship it to someone you know in the US to take it to Apple.

My keyboard has gone crazy

My keyboard has gone crazy: When typing all the upper letters (q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o,p,å,) at the same time the number above (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) is also typing. Somehow I must have activated an effect whiteout knowing it. Pleas help me back to standard keyboard

Like a detectives at a clue-free crime scene, we have dreadfully little information that we can use to help you.
What Mac model and submodel?
What Mac OS version?
What brand and model of keyboard?
Is the behavior limited to just one or two programs or does it happen in all programs?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?

My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?
When I load up iTunes I can see all of words but no background, its impossible to use! Please help.

ITunes has gone to full screen and I can't get out of it?

ITunes has gone to full screen. How do I get out of it and back to the regular screen?

Look in the upper right corner of your screen. Send the cursor there. Find a diagonal, double-headed arrow and click it.

Everything in iTunes has gone!!

I remember that once I restarted my computer and opened iTunes regularly, and I found my play list is blank which means everything has gone. its like I reinstalled the program. However I didn't. what I did was add my 3000 songs again.... and I also cannot load my library.
I'm just wondering what the problem was, and I'm afraid that could happen again on me.

These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.
