Audio dropouts since updating to iTunes 8

Had a stable working iTunes to Airport Express to stereo connection going for at least two years until I installed iTunes version 8 shortly after it came out. When I updated to version 8 I started receiving an error message and I had to upgrade the firmware on the AX to fix that. Ever since that time I haven't been able to use iTunes for more than 30 minutes or so without audio dropouts. Nothing else in the environment changed.
I have tried these fixes (some suggested in other posts) and they all failed:
1) Switched from optical to standard RCA cables between the AX and stereo.
2) Used Airport Admin Utility to enable Interference Robustness. This made the problem worse.
3) Switching to multiple speakers.
4) Leaving the Airport Utility program OPEN.
5) Removing interference from 2.4Ghz phones
My set up:
Windows XP Pro on 2 Gb RAM
iTunes 8.0.2.20
AX 6.3
I live in the country 200 yards away from the nearest neighbor.
I was hoping that Apple would come out with a fix. Am I waiting in vain?
Been forced to go back to my 400 disc changer, but it's not the same.

Did you try disabling WZC and using your wireless manufacturers drivers instead. This worked for me - see details in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1715679&tstart=0

  • Since updating to iTunes 11 music no longer shows up in Aperture Slideshows

    Since updating to iTunes 11 I can no longer see iTunes music in the Aperture browser for slideshows, it also seems that import of audio doesn't work.

    Do you see iTunes in other applications - Pages, iMovie? If not, you may need to rebuild your iTunes library, see:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    For me, iTunes '11 works very well with Aperture 3.4.3.

  • Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working

    Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working.
    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.
    All mobile devices are up to date with ios, including 2 apple tvs (2 & 3), iphone 4s and 3gs, ipad1 & ipad2.
    I've rebooted twice, turned home sharing off, then signed back in. Still nothing.  Rebooted the mobile devices.  No joy.
    Curiously, wi-fi sync is also not working - the devices are not showing up in itunes unless I plug them in. 
    Please Help!

    Yes, you guessed. After some rebbots it stopped working again .So it seems it is not a Firewall issue. Kept looking and found a suggestion in a forum to disable IPv6, apparently iTunes for Windows doesn't work well with IPv6. So I did, and after several rebbots and tests, both Home Sharing and Apple TV 1st Gen are working. To disable IPv6, follow this link
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852
    It has an MS Fix It that will do it for you. Or if you wnat to go manual, follow this discussion, this guy was having the same issue several months ago
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3507281?start=75&tstart=0
    So far IPv6 is just being rolled out, and it will be a few years until everybody abandons IPv4 and go only with IPv6, so you shouldn't have any issues disabling it. And by then iTunes -I hope- should be fixed to work correctly with IPv6. Try it, and if you find any issues you can always enable IPv6 using another MS Fix it program, or manually reverse what you did
    Hope it is fixed this time!

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

    I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

    If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

  • Cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11?

    cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11 - any suggestions?

    Thanks for your message.
    I have downloaded the latest iTunes [11.1.5 (5)] with no luck, unfortunately. As it did with 11.1.4 (62), iTunes recognizes my iPhone, I can select the music to sync, click sync, it appears to sync but remains completely unchanged in my iPhone music.
    Any tips are welcome!

  • No audio-cd since update to 11.0.1

    Hello,
    Since the update of iTunes to 11.0.1 I'm not able to burn playlists to an audio-cd.
    I already tried to convert the songs to aac oder aiff etc, but without success.
    When I start burning I choose "Audio-CD" but the created CDs are not usable in CD-Players only on Mac.
    I think it's a small setting, but can't find it;-)
    Thanks for your support and merry christmas.
    regards
    Chris

  • Since updating to itunes 10.1.2 it tries to "re-sync" all apps to iphone

    i just updated to itunes 10.1.2 a few days ago. ever since, when i plug my iphone 4 32GB (iOS 4.2.1) in to sync, itunes will try to install all the existing apps i have back onto the phone even though they are already on the phone and have not been updated. with over 1,000 apps on my iphone this obviously is time consuming (and unnecessary since a sync is only meant to copy over new or updated apps).
    here is the situation:
    1) i purchased new apps on my iphone
    2) i did not purchase any new apps on my computer and did not update any apps on my computer
    3) so the sync should only update apps FROM my phone TO the computer, not vice versa.
    however, when the sync begins it will correctly start the step "transferring purchases FROM iphone", but then it will stop it before it completes (it only actually copies over 1 or 2 of the 10 or so apps i bought on the phone) and then it immediately goes into the step "syncing apps TO iphone" which i already pointed out nothing has changed or been added with regards to apps on my computer. this is when it "installs" all the apps from my computer to my phone which already exist and are up to date on my phone.
    i went ahead let it do that sync overnight hoping that once it completes it wouldn't do it anymore. when i got up the next morning it was only HALF way through (again, i have over 1,000 apps on my phone). then when i unplugged it and tried to sync again it simply started back at the beginning. if it were truly syncing it would have realized it already did half of the apps and not start at the beginning the next time. so i have no doubt if i waited 16 hours for it to go all the way through, it would still just do it all over again the next time i sync. and there's no way i can be phone-less for 16 hours anyway.
    this is extremely frustrating. i have had to stop the sync and restart it many many times for it to finally copy over to my computer all the apps i bought on my phone since it keep stopping that step after only doing 1 or 2 apps.
    i have already tried doing a hard reset of my iphone and doing a shutdown and re-start of my computer. but this did not fix the problem.
    anyone else having this issue or suggestions?

    i have also now noticed that if i delete an app on my iphone, when i go to sync the process will not notify my computer that the app was deleted, instead itunes simply re-installs it back onto my phone.

  • Since updating to iTunes 10.6, everytime I open iTunes it shuts down "unexpectedly."

    I updated my iTunes software about a week ago and ever since I cannot open it without it shutting down! It tells me that "iTunes quit unexpectedly" and sends an error report to Apple, then gives me the option to reopen but even if I reopen through the error page and not from my dock the same thing happens again. The program opens automatically to the sync page for my iPod and when I try to view all my music it shuts down after just a scroll. I can't look at or play anything! I don't want to lose all my music. Any help out there? I tried to download it again but nothing changed. I have nowhere to put my music to uninstall and reinstall, are there any other options?

    Same problem here under 10.6.8.
    I downgraded to iTunes 10.5.3 and I'm waiting for 10.6.1.

  • Since update to iTunes 7.3.2.6 cannot edit comments tag

    ... which is pretty annoying as I have automatic playlists based on the comments! Backgruond - until now never a problem; all files on windows server (mapped drive); full ntfs/share rights; when iTunes closed I can the tag direct from windows explorer. Any suggestions?

    Hi all. I have 10.4.10 (usually keep everything updated) and recently upgraded to iTunes 7.3.2 automatically. It was a mistake, since I had iTunes open at the time, and had to do a 'force quit' to continue the install (I don't recall a cancel option). The install went fine, but now when I open the new version and it just freezes up and I have to force quit to close it out. Have tried to reinstall twice, same result. I even did a windows restart in between just to vary things, no luck. So now I can't continue watching the HUNDREDS of dollars of stuff I've bought via the iTunes store, or forget about updating my wife's iPod and listening to any new tunes. Some super-mac-er help us out!!!!

  • Cannot sync iPod since updating to iTunes 7.1

    My iPod is a 5th generation video model. I recently updated to iTunes 7.1 and when I first connected my iPod, it went to update the iPod software and then I got an error message "iPod cannot update - error (-48). Now, most of the time, iTunes doesn't even recognize when I plug in my iPod. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling my older version of iTunes, but I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue.

    Clarification...it says iPod cannot sync - error (-48).
    When I use the iPod Updater program it tells me my software is up to date.

  • Problems with apps and photos since updated new iTunes

    Hi all.
    I updated itunes and instaleed it on both my computer and my iphone. Since then, I cannot purchase apps, update them or sync them with my mac. My id and password are ok, but the apps are stuck in mid process and I cannot use them. If that wasn't enough, the iphone shows that all my photos are gone although itune shows 11.5 gb of "other" and I can't sync photos from iphoto to iphone. ideas anyone?

    Do not install MacKeeper.
    Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    Determine if the same problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Why are my playlists gone since update to Itune 11??? AND WHERE ARE THEY?????

    Hi dear community
    I have updated Itunes to version 11 and  I have an iphone G4
    I am not working with Icloud
    since the update - all my playlists have dissappeared, I cannot synchronize the music to the Iphone (I am asked to delete the paylist altogether)
    and when I want to play some of the titles I have bought from the store before the update I am asked to register???
    what is happending there?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanx a lot in advance!

    Chances are that iTunes is uploading NEW content to your iPhone... since the songs are on your iPhone, but not on your computer, your computer is not removing them from your phone.  
    Second option:
    The songs are still in the main library.  have you checked the list of ALL of your songs on your computer?
