Bravo! iTunes 5.0.1

After reading the posts about iTunes 5.0 for the last week, why would anyone want to upgrade?
Then I saw that 5.0.1 was available! I couldn't resist, held my breath, and hit update.
Three cheers for the iTunes team! The update from 4.9 to 5.01 was smooth!
Improved launch time, better use of my desktop real estate, improved search features, parental controls, more options for viewing viewing video and album art! Whoa, who cares about corner radius. It actually looks better with Garageband.
I might not delete my iTunes 4.9 backup just yet, but this Friday...
...it's time to party with the help of my new iTunes!

hi mumazil!
an error
b 2350?
you have been nominated for my "exotic error message number of the week" award ...
okay, first head to Windows Update to make sure you're up to date in that respect. download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the installation from there.)
make sure to have your antivirus
b and antispyware
disabled during the installation. also apply the general advice on installation errors given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
... and the InstallShield Tips and Pointers on installation best practices are also useful when dealing with less-well-documented errors:

How to get new iTunes install to recognize library stored on External drive

iTunes was installed on Computer Alpha. Library was kept in external hard drive (External). The library on External was not a backup; it was the primary, one and only library used by iTunes on Alpha. All music purchased from iTunes Store downloaded directly into the library on External. Hard drive on Alpha was too small to contain the library.
Alpha died. Kaput. No chance of opening iTunes on Alpha any more.
New computer acquired, Computer Bravo. Windows 7. iTunes 9.2.1.5 for Windows downloaded/installed on Bravo. Bravo is authorized.
External connected to Bravo via USB. Windows explorer, viewed on Bravo, indicates the Library on External is still in place.
iTunes opened on Bravo. iTunes finds three music files on Bravo hard drive and adds them to the "music" view of iTunes.
I go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced and change the iTunes library location to Extenal/iTunes_library. Save.
Nothing happens. I can't get iTunes to load the "music" list in iTunes with the songs contained in Extenal/iTunes_library file.
iTunes closed. I hold shift key and open iTunes, thereby prompting the "choose library" dialog. In the dialog, I select "choose library" and once again select the External/iTunes_library directory, but when that directory is chosen, all the individual files within the library are displayed, and the dialog is waiting for me to choose one of the hundreds of individual files within the Extenal/iTunes_library file. None of those files is the library; only the entire collection of them together is the library, yet the dialog will not permit me to select External/iTunes_library file in its entirety as the library. I abandon the dialog.
iTunes uninstalled from Bravo. Wondering what to do next.

You mean the *iTunes media folder* was kept on the external.
Yes, I believe you are correct, and that I used the wrong terminology. By "library," I was referring only to the directory on External where the actual .mp4 music files are stored.
The iTunes library consists of the iTunes folder (default in \Music\iTunes\
and all contents as well as everything in iTunes.
So, in my case above, it seems you are saying that "library" ought to refer to the following:
1. The c\my music\iTunes directory and all its component files on the Alpha hard drive, AND
2. the iTunesmusicfiles directory on External
Is that correct?
If yes, then I am left scratching my head about something:
Before Alpha died, I went to Edit/Preferences/Advanced and, in the window where iTunes asks me to specify the location of my iTunes LIBRARY, I specified External\iTunesmusicfiles.
And it worked. Thus, I am left with the impression that "library" is a term referring only to the directory where the actual .mp4 files are stored. (Thus, iTunes itself provided a very good reason for me to think of the "library" in this limited, incorrect, way).
If I understand you correctly, the reason why that maneuver worked is because of the presence of the library.itl file that was located in Alpha\c\my music\iTunes, and because the .itl file was populated with some kind of data specific to the contents of External\iTunesmusicfiles, and because the contents of the .itl file pre-dated the transfer of the iTunesmusicfiles directory to External. And that every time a subsequent change occurred in External\iTunesmusicfiles such as the addition of a new music file via iTunes purchase/download, a concomitant change occurred in the .itl file on Alpha, thereby keeping the iTunes player on Alpha synced up with the warehouse of music over there on External.
Do I have it right so far?
Now, with Bravo, I am trying to establish the same setup I had on Alpha. And because Alpha is dead, I need to attempt this using a fresh installation of iTunes on Bravo. And a fresh installation of iTunes on Bravo means a virgin .itl file on Bravo.
Again, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that if iTunes on Bravo is going to work just like iTunes on Alpha did, then the .itl file on Bravo must contain the same data that the .itl file on Alpha did.
To accomplish this, I have two options:
1. Obtain a copy of the .itl file from Alpha and transfer it to the same directory location on Bravo
2. Build the .itl file on Bravo manually.
Again, am I getting this right?
If so, I don't think No. 1 above is an option. I'm left with No. 2.
If I have to click individually on all the files in External\iTunesMusicFiles, I guess I can deal with that. Not a huge problem. But what I want to prevent is transferring the .mp4 files to the Bravo hard drive. I want only one copy of each .mp4, and I want each of those .mp4s to reside on External, not on Bravo.
Doable?
Thanks to all who have taken time to respond to my issue. I do appreciate it.

Itunes 7 Movies : Bravo Apple, Bravo...

I don't have cable, so this is great....but it's a little steep. I have yet to download and play and all that...but luv'n the previews...
and yes, My system is fully intergrated into my living space...(I live in a loft)
I suggest a price structure that will keep me from ever watching TV again....Maybe a one-time view or a 5 time view...I don't plan on burning these to DVDR...but at $9.99+ I guess I would have to....
How about buy two get one free something like that...

Got the new Itunes update..how do I drag and drop a song onto my phone now?

Reluctantly, I updated my Itunes to the latest version. Glad they could make it a thousand times more confusing. If that was their goal...mission accomplished. I simply want to drag and drop a song that I purchased on my home computer to my ipod or iphone. In the good old days before the latest "improvement", you could simply drag the song to your device. Now, I can view my device. I can view the song. I cannot add the song to my ipod or iphone. Itunes helps actually offers no help for this basic operation. I've asked a few other pc people that have iphones/ipods and they say they just buy the song on their device because they cannot figure it out either. Was this really progress? Bravo on the update, apple guys. You made it so cool, now nobody but you fools can use it...

I got my own answer !! I saw it on another post. Select "View" and then toggle down to "View Sidebar".
Now I can drag and drop like before.

ITunes & Windows Live Messenger (MSN) - Now Playing Feature.

Hey Guys!
I'm a lover of iTunes over Windows Media Player and made the switch approximately a year and a half ago when I bought my iPod. At first I was upset I would lose the "Now Playing" feature of my Messenger and said the pros were far more beneficial. However after a month or two I noticed that suddenly it worked and all was well...
However, Just recently, I believe when I bought an iPod Nano recently and synced it for the first time. It has stopped working and no longer displays no matter what I've tried... now before you go tell me something you'd tell a noobie, Let me first say... Yes, "Show What I'm Listening To" is checked... and I've tried those stupid little work arounds that make no sense such as the option of iTunes not being minimised to the system tray and Messenger being the main window...
Why did it work before and why did it stop, was it the new iPod syncing causing iTunes to malfunction? I've uninstalled and reinstalled both to no fix... Please help!

Okay... I've solved my issue using a work-around. the iTunes code for broadcasting these things definintely needs to be looked into. Its pretty trivial that syncing an iPod that doesn't have the "manual ejection" option ticked could cause a detrimental issue such as this.
As Hinted, to fix the issue. Make sure the iPod is set to be 'manually ejected' once its finished syncing. This means you will effectively have to eject it yourself using iTunes once you've synced it.
The steps I did was...
*1. Set iPod to be 'manually ejected' once synced and hit apply.*
*2. Sync iPod... again, for good measure.*
*3. Restart the computer.*
*4. Start iTunes with the iPod still connected, Sync it again.*
*5. Open Windows Live Messenger and make sure 'show what im listening to' is ticked.*
*6. Play a song in iTunes and see if it worked.*
*Please post if this helped you.* Im sure a few of those steps like re-syncing aren't neccesary, then again it's "Apple" iTunes so it's best to be safe then sorry.
Currently, the wonderful world of iTunes (7.7) is saying I don't have permission to set it as my default audio player, and im the friggin Admin...
*Bravo! Apple Team, Bravo!*

ITunes + Windows Live Messenger?

Hey to anyone who can help,
Well, just got a new laptop, downloaded iTunes, and i want my Messenger contacts to to see the music i'm listening too, in my personal message, this works with Windows Media Player, but can someone help me get it working with iTunes?
Thanks In Advance

ITunes disrupting Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger

Hi
I recently downloadeded iTunes 7.4.2.4. Now when I have Internet Explorer open at the same time as iTunes, iTunes will constantly switch to itself, or in any other program will sit on the taskbar flashing orange, without me doing anything. It also refuses to show what I am listening to on Windows Live Messenger. Any help?

HT1879 can I buy a tv show package? like cbs,spike tv, nbc, bravo. can I buy a package like that all in one

I would like to know can I buy a tv shows package. like bravo. cbs,nbc, spike tv . I like to buy a chanels package. can that be done?

The iTunes Store only offers episodes or season passes to specific shows, not to an an entire network (the networks don't license content that way). There are some networks on the Apple TV, such as PBS, HBO, Disney, ABC and a few others that do have apps in the Apple TV (depending on your country) that allow access to content on those networks without having to buy a specific show. If you're in the US, see:

Why did itunes reject my podcast?

Hi - new to podcasting here.
I use Sound Cloud as my host site.
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:148833094/sounds.rss
Podcast was submitted to iTunes and then rejected without a specific reason. The rejection email referred me to a list of technical requirements. Will try submitting again without the "Bravo" logo perhaps? Despite the fact that I've seen other podcasts use that logo, and mine is used for saying how we're not associated with Bravo.
Does anyone know what I'm missing? I appreciate your help.

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Quando sfoglio la libreria video condivisa in famiglia con l'appleTV o l'Ipad, itunes va in crash... come faccio?

quando dal mio ipad o dal ATV accedo ai video condivisi in famiglia, iTunes si blocca e devo andare a terminarlo. tutte le volte così. per vedere un film dall'appleTV devo andare al computer principale e avviarlo in Airplay dal mac fisso.

La sola cosa disastrosa che leggo è il tuo commento.
In primis dovresti conoscere la differenza tra la garanzia legale del rivenditore e quella del produttore: nel caso di Apple la garanzia limitata di un anno va ad AGGIUNGERSI a quella legale del rivenditore.
Continuo:
-hai pagato per parlare con un numero verde? Il numero per l'assistenza è totalmente gratuito, quindi spiegami che numero hai chiamato.
-dici che l'iPad non funziona, però non aggiorni il sistema operativo perché la tua autorità si sostituisce a quella di chi lancia i nuovi aggiornamenti. E paghi per farti dire che iOS va aggiornato. Sei bravo.
-iOS 7 fa schifo? Deduco quanto poco sai utilizzare gli oggetti che hai acquistato al meglio delle loro potenzialità, figuriamoci se sei in grado di giudicarle.
Per il futuro ti consiglio di leggere i termini e le condizioni d'uso dei prodotti che acquisti.
Nel caso del tuo iPad avresti trovato tutto qui:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ipad-italian.html
avresti avuto così modo di informarti su cosa acquisti, anzichè lamentarti in seguito.
P.S. "Alterazioni del software"? Semplicemente i software si aggiornano, migliorano, cambiano.
Se non vuoi essere schiavo di alcun sistema operativo torna al Nokia 3330.

Multiple Speakers are gone once iTunes upgraded to 10.5.1.42

I did an automatic update and now my multiple speaker options is gone. I checked the Windows7 firewall and iTunes is allowed. I even tried to turn off the firwall. This has worked great for years, but not it doesn't work with iTunes 10.5. Please help

I went to the Security tab in Systems Preferences. Chose Firewall, and deselected "Allow only essential services" and instead selected "Set access for specific services and applications." I then chose the + sign at the bottom left corner of the list widow underneath. There I chose iTunes and added it to the list of allowed incoming connections. I am ow able to play iTunes at multiple locations (at the computer and through my AirPort Express using AirTunes.
What a pain. And frankly I don't yet understand what this means for my security. I'm not sure I'm liking this new firewall setup as much as I did in 10.4, which seemed easier.
Don't quote me on this, but I am beginning to wonder if this setting accomplishes the same thing that Lil Snitch used to do. And if so, well bravo Apple for building it in. That being said, this was neither easy nor intuitive. I'm going to have to read up on this feature to fully understand it and determine if my firewall is even on or not with this setting chosen. I have no idea. I am hardwired to a Router/firewall, so I'm somewhat secure, but what this means for my AirPort connection... well I have no idea.
But, by gosh, my AirTunes works in multiple locations now. Sheesh.

Ping, my iTunes Library, my disappointment !

At first glance Ping doesn't appear to be very intuitive.
My iTunes Library is full of information such as Play Count, Ratings and Genres etc. It also runs Apples Genius scripts to recommend tracks based on existing tracks in my library.
When setting my Ping profile up it asks me to add the music I like. It only suggests tracks I purchased from the iTunes Store. I don't purchase much from the iTunes store, most of my music (some 5000+ tracks) has come from a wide range of sources such as my CD collection.
Is Ping limited to tracks bought from the iTunes Store?
Can Ping not work more like LastFM? Where by any track I play is added to 'Recent Activity' or if I add Ratings to tracks this also appears in "Recent Activity'.
I'm I missing something? or is Ping not really "Social Networking" but another marketing tool, such as the Genius suggestions, being used to drive greater sales in the iTunes Store?

@David_N : +1, two marks, spot on, bravo!
My impression of Ping is totally underwhelming. Why in the world would only iTunes purchase history be considered and not library play counts, ratings, genre tags and so forth. No, really .. can this be explained? As it stands, Ping is utterly worthless to the musically-driven social net citizen and is not likely to have promise as a social networking platform in Apple's marquee media store. Surely Apple must realize how scale-free social networks form, right? Without well connected nodes capable of generating quality content, and without those nodes' wealth of preference data you've got nothing going on here. You see, had my library and playlists been pulled in I just might of cared enough to write some reviews, invite my tribe and hang around long enough for a little more Lala DNA to show up. Not a chance now.
Compare and contrast how hard Last.FM works to import and export user music preferences.

Updating my iPod Touch failed and now the screen is permanently lit with a white Apple logo above what appeares to be a download indicator bar. Now totally unresponsive and non-detectable by iTunes or my PC!

Hi, Can anyone help. Updating my iPod via iTunes failed and now shows a permanently lit screeen witrh a white apple logo above what appears to be an empty download bar indicator.
Neither iTunes or my PC will recognise or detect it wehen commected to the USB port.
All iPod buttons are responsive, including diagnostics mode (Menu+Sleep buttons).
Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi IIIaass
That's sorted it, thanks.
I don't think I actually managed to get it into DFU mode, although not too sure what that is, but following Karthik's advice and although not quite getting the response from my iPod, as it suggested, it eventually came up with the USB piccy and iTunes icon. From there on everything fell into place and it is currently Synching with iTunes after having done a restore.
Bravo !!

Si sono verificati errori prima che itunes potesse essere configurato

potreste aiutarmi???Sto cercando di reinstallare iTunes sul mio PC W-XP...ma continua ad apparirmi la finestra a download avviato in cui mi viene detto "si sono verificati errori prima che iTunes potesse essere configurato. Si sono verificati errori durante l' istallazione. Il sistema non è stato modificato". STO IMPAZZENDO!!!!!!!! Cosa dovrei fare (a parte trovare un bravo medico)?

To backup your library, Mac or PC, you need to copy the entire iTunes folder and all its subfolders to a new location on a network or external drive. For any easy way to do this with Windows see this User Tip. For a Mac Carbon Copy Cloner will do the same job.
Note this won't preserve the device backup files, but if you restore a library backed up in this way to a new computer iTunes will happily backup and sync with it as if nothing had changed.
Translated by Google. Hope it makes sense.
Per eseguire il backup della libreria, Mac o PC, è necessario copiare l'intera cartella di iTunes e tutte le relative sottocartelle in una nuova posizione su una rete o un disco esterno. Per un modo semplice per fare questo con Windows vedere questo User Tip.Per un Carbon Copy Cloner Mac farà lo stesso lavoro.
Nota che questa non mantiene i file di periferica di backup, ma se si ripristina una libreria di backup in questo modo ad un iTunes nuovi computer sarà lieto di backup esincronizzazione con esso, come se nulla fosse cambiato.
Tradotto da Google. Spero che abbia un senso.

Three movies I bought from iTunes this morning do not show up on the 1st Gen AppleTV.

I understand some file formats are not compatible with AppleTV (1st gen) but these films were purchased directly from iTunes. One would assume they are formatted properly to work on Apple equipment, yes? Previously purchased movies show up on the AppleTV just fine, so I'm not sure what's going with these three. They were from the $4.99 Sci Fi collection: Enemy Mine, Dune and Terminator 2. Oldies but goodies. The iMac, where the iTunes Library lives is used to stream the content to the AppleTV, and everything that is in my Library appears to be available for streaming, except these three films. Any advice?

I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
Unbelievable.

Bravo! iTunes 5.0.1
