Back-up hanging after upgrading to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1 update

Come on Apple get your act together on this stuff! Why are you not capable of testing this prior to releasing key updates. Upgrade to iTunes 9 worked. After two tries - and an overnight session for back up! - upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1 also worked. Now, I'm trying out your new cool features like re-arranging iPhone Apps in iTunes but can't get the back-up to work. It keeps stalling everytime. Come up with a fix or better fix it before release.

Ok, here is the EXACT thing that I have on my iTunes that is working on my iPhone. (I haven't checked on the Shuffle yet) First screen--iPhone itself--nothing checked except Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected. Now Podcasts Tab on iPhone screen (right side of iTunes--center really--at least not the left side) Checked Sync Podcasts at Top. Also Checked Automatically include ALL episodes of SELECTED podcasts. Now here is where it seems weird. I have NONE of the podcasts themselves checked. Scroll Down further and there is a check box for Includes Episodes from Playlists. I have both of my Smart Playlists checked and they are both working correctly.
One more thing, I have in my Smart Playlist a rule saying Play Count is 0. That way after I have completely listened to the entire podcast it will be deleted from that playlist. If I am halfway through the podcast--that is saved and it starts playing at that point.

  • Sync hangs after upgrade to iTunes 9

    After upgrading to iTunes 9.1.0.79 from 8.xx last week I have been unable to sync Outlook contacts and Calendar - sync hangs and never completes.
    iPhone 3GS on 3.1.3
    (No other changes made to laptop at the time - direct issue with upgrade to iTunes 9)
    Spend 1:45 on phone with Apple Support last week - very helpful - but no fix, and frustrated. (Have case number) Removed all Apple Apps - reinstalled, looked for list of DLL's on my PC etc during the call.
    Any new ideas to resolve will be gratefully rec'd, or fix from Apple.
    Many Thanks.

    I have very similar symptoms after upgrade to iTunes 9.1. During sync of Calendars (or if Calendars disabled, during iPhone backup step), Outlook hangs & sync never completes. Outlook stays hung, and hangs again if I kill and restart, until I reboot. Hugely frustrating.

  • IPod Sync Error after Upgrading to iTunes 10 and ios5

    Some help please,
    I've upgraded to iTunes 10 and installed ios5 on to my iPod Touch and I cant now sync as iTunes reports that the backup is corrupted or not compatable with the iPod
    Thanks
    Kris

    Dear Mr. Sawyer,
                                To my surprise, the version is shown as 10.0.1.22. I will uninstall itunes and try loading the same again. After uninstalling do we need to delete any registry entries for Windows XP.
    Thanks for your response and concern.

  • AirPlay broken after upgrade to iTunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3

    Hi,
    Upgraded to itunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3 and AirPlay has now broken. I have never had any issues before with AirPlay (in nearly two years.)
    i can only get the AirPlay icon to appear in iphone 6 control centre if I reset my router (HH3). Icon disappears overnight however.
    Icon is also missing completely from iTunes. This is permanent.
    I have tried everything. factory reset my router, powered down all devices inc iPhone 6 (and reset all network settings) and repaired my power line adapters but I can't get AirPlay to work at all using my Pc.
    Help!
    THanks!

    Ps I should clarify that I updated to iTunes 12.1

  • Ipod died after upgrading to itunes 7 and ipod 1.2

    So i upgraded my itunes to the new version and then i upgraded my ipod to 1.2. Then after restarting the computer i plugged the ipod in and let it update. Itunes freezes up and then won't recognize my ipod so i couldn't safely eject it. I unplug my ipod manually which gives me the exclamation sign then it just died. I couldn't turn it on at all. The screen is just dead and the hold button is not on. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have the same problem but this only happens on my computer. It works fine during the most of it but when i use another program that makes a sound- weather it be a message noise or a game etc. it starts to skip and wont stop untill i stop the iTunes and start song again. This didnt happen with the previous version of iTunes.
    Any advice??

  • Can't Recognized iPod device after upgrading to iTune 7 / 7.0.1

    After upgrading to iTune 7 (and later 7.0.1), my iPod Video 60G (firmware 1.2) has been having problems getting recognized by my desktop.
    Symptoms:
    - Device manager in Windows 2000 reports the device as an Unknown USB Device
    - The iPod won't get recharged nor sync'ed.
    - The "Do not disconnect" screen won't appear on the iPod.
    - Since Windows can't recognize my iPod at all, of course I won't be able to see it in iTune.
    I plugged the iPod to my Dell laptop and got it recognized and recharged properly though.
    After poking around for a long time, I figured that if I disable the USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller on my desktop (thru the Device Manager), I can finally get the iPod recognized properly. Problem is, now it takes forever for me to sync my iPod (USB 2.0 disabled, so I'm stuck with the slow USB 1.1)...
    I noticed that after upgrading to iTune 7, the display backlight on the iPod is kept on (though dim). If I remember correctly, on older versions of iTune, the backlight is completely off. I'm suspecting whether the extra current draw required by the dim backlight is screwing up my desktop USB....
    Anybody from Apple gonna look into the issue and consider turning the backlight back to off in the next release??
      Windows 2000  

    I have no problems on my Dell laptop... I'm having problem with my 4-year old non-brand-name desktop only.
    ... which is kinda abnormally 'cause normally you would expect USB 2.0 power problems on laptops only. Btw, I've got the latest drivers installed already for the chipset and Win2K etc...
    What's more interesting... is the fact that on older iPod firmware, everything was running just fine... upgrade to iTunes 7.0 and boom... I'm having problems. And, it's not recognized at the Windows USB device recognition level, so I think we can isolate the problem source to the iPod firmware upgrade.
    Seriously... my bet is on the extra power drain from the backlight being left on during USB connection...
    Guess i'll have to stick with slow USB until Apple has a new firmware...
    This latest upgrade is generating a lot of unhappy customers...... and the sad thing is, Apple did a bad job in backward compatibility and made it extremely difficult to downgrade to an older version of iTune / firmware.... Apple better get these fixed asap...

    Had this problem yesterday while syncing my iphone to PC. iTunes asked if I wanted to upgrade to iTunes 9 and iphone 3.1. I agreed. The sync failed saying it couldn't identify my iphone and then asked me to restore my iphone.
    I had to do a restore to get 3.1 loaded (first time I've had a problem with an update) but I did get it done .. then had to reload all my apps, audio, video with a 1+ hr sync.
    But it did works .. and no problems of any kind (and my email works just fine)

  • QuickTime in Safari cannot play video after upgrading to iTunes 10.2

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.2 and QuickTime 10 on my MacBook Pro, the latest Quicktime version embedded in Safari is behaving strangely. When I want to play video on certain websites like " http://www.lynda.com/Aperture-3-tutorials/essential-training/59221-2.html ", the Quicktime logo on Safari browser appears and just sits there with sound only. I tried it on Firefox, the video can only be played on the lower part of my suddenly splitted screen, there is an "error" message on a Quicktime logo background.
    Could anybody help me solve the problem. By the way, all these videos can be played normally on my Windows 7 desktop using both Firefox and Safari for Windows.

    To make the matter more weird, the QuickTime plays normally on my Safari after I log out and switch to the administrator account of the MacBook Pro. When I change back to a normal account, the QuickTime error takes place again. It seems there must be something I configured wrongly.

  • Anyone having issues with USB port power after upgrading to iTunes 11.1?

    After upgrading to itunes 11.1, I can no longer use the USB ports on my wired keyboard to synch my iPhone 4s, ipod Nano, and Ipad 2.  Previously, I could use this port to synch and charge the nano and iphone, and synch (but not charge) my iPad.  Now I simply get an error when I attach any of the devices ("a usb device needs more power").
    I currently use all four of the USB ports on the back of my imac (UPS power supply, aformentioned keyboard, a Lacie backup drive that has its own power supply, and a superdrive).  Interestingly, when I unplug the Superdrive (which is plugged directly into the mac on a separate USB port), the USB port on the keyboard will work.  Unplugging any of the other 2 devices does not allow the port on the  to work.
    I bought the wired keyboard to have the easily accessible UBS port to synch my nano as well as the fact I needed a number pad. 

    Get yourself a good self-powered 7 port USB hub to plug your extra devices into.

  • Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
    Hope this helps!

  • After upgrading to itunes 7.3.1.3 I can't run the backup to dics anymore.

    After upgradeing to itunes 7.3.1.3.1 I can not run the backup any more. Also the CD burning runs very slow.
    The DVD burner run ok with other software.
    After it checks for file to be backed up it kept ejecting the blank DVD and asking for a blank disc.
    I have even replaced the DVD drive with drive from another computer.I also reinstalled ITUNES once-- It ran as a repair during the install.

    I have used this same DVD Burner to backup my list from within iTunes before. I did this back in June just after I purchase 30 songs. I think I was running version 7.1 or 7.2 when the DVD backup worked. If not sopport then why does their diagnostics say DVD/CD Diagnostics. Even so I have the same problem on my other PC with a CD Burner. I think Apple support sound a little like Microsoft. I once had a problem with Windows NT and had to call MS support 5 times before they said their software had a defect and issued a patch.

  • Help after upgrade to iTunes 7.5

    After upgrading to iTunes 7.5, my library is gone ... replaced with a blank library. The library files are where they are supposed to be, just empty. I searched my complete hard drive for a previous version of my library, but found nothing. I had copied all my music to my hard drive, so I didn't lose any music, just all my organization, artwork, playlists, etc. With 3,000 songs on there, it would take forever to re-build all that.
    On my iPod, everything's fine. My question is, is there any way to copy all the organization, name changes, artwork, playlists, etc. from my iPod back into the blank library on my laptop?
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Don't want to spend hours and hours putting all that stuff back together!!

    Someone else may have a better fix, but see my posting under "Bush League Programming." Once I dumped 7.5 and reinstalled my previous version of iTunes, everything showed up just fine. Good luck.

  • How do i get back my ringtones after upgrade

    I downloaded some ringtones after I upgraded my phone to Ios 6 then I restore my contacts using itunes then when i look at my ringtones after restoring it, all my ringtones and photos are lost. Can you help me get back my photos and ringtones please...

    With iPhone connected to computer:
    * In iTunes menu select "Store," then "Deauthorize Computer"
    * Then select "Store," then "Authorize Computer"
    * A message will pop up saying "X out of X Computers are Authorized" or something to that effect.
    * Sync iPhone
    * Restart iPhone, go to settings, sounds, ringtones. Purchased ringtone should be on top.
    Then you can get back your ringtones after upgrade.

  • Choppy playback after upgrading to iTunes 11

    I am still on OSX 10.6.8 so I can still use Front Row on my laptop. I just recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now playback of video will become choppy and sometimes stalls and the sound will also become choppy and unsynchronized with the video. This occurs when playing video on iTunes or Front Row. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you come up with a solution?? Thanks in advance.

    I was also having this issue on my iMac running OSX 10.6.8 after upgrading to iTunes 11.  Clearing my user Library Cache seems to have solved the issue.
    In case you're not sure how to do that, open a finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G to go to a folder, then enter "~/Library/Caches". Select all the contents of the Caches folder, and hit Cmd-Delete. You will be prompted to enter your password in order to delete these files.  Restart your machine and empty the bin when you log back in.

  • After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared.

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared. Any ideas how I can get them back? They are still on my iPhone though, even after a sync.

    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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
