Can't move songs after installing the iTunes 10.5.3 upgrade

Jan. 23, 2012. On Friday, Jan. 20. I installed the iTunes upgrade from the previous version to 10.5.3 and now I can't move my songs in or out of my playlists. The only thing that has changed since the update installation from the previous latest version of iTunes is installation of the upgrade to 10.5.3. I can not add songs to my plyalists or take them out. I can not copy a song to the desktop like I previously could. Wha' happened? I've used the disk utility to repair permissions and I've got read and write permission within iTunes.

So far no one has responded and I've not been able to find anything via search. Last evening I managed to move files by dragging them either into a playlist or onto the desktop after I had used the disk utility to repair permissions. The first attempt produced no change. A bit later I decided to try again. That is when iTunes functioned properly. However, this morning when I tried to drag files, reorganize, etc. The same problem was back. I opened up the disk utility again to repair permissions thinking that might work since it worked yesterday. Well, same thing. No change after the utility was done. Back to square one.
Since I was able to move music after a second attempt yesterday, I'm going to try the disk utility to repair permissions again, but I have to close out of this and will have to start a new reply.
I've never had this problem with any of the previous iTunes versions or operating system updates/upgrades. My computer is a 5 year old MacBook that works fine and currently has Snow Leopard 10.6.8

After installing the itunes 12 update the play count

After installing the itunes update my Ipod Classic has difficulty syncing, It will update recently downloaded songs after a lengthy struggle, but no longer updates the Play count & Last played columns with information read from my ipod. It all updates fine when played through itunes, is there a quick fix for this or does the ipod need resetting as the memory is practically full?

Check to see if the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music and videos. This setting is on the iPod's Summary settings screen (in iTunes), which is what you see when you select the iPod in iTunes (click the device button in iTunes 12). If that setting is enabled (checked), the iPod does not automatically "sync" when connected; it is being managed manually. iTunes is not responsible for keeping the iPod's library "in sync" with the computer's iTunes library (those two libraries are independent), so supporting data (such as play count and ratings) do not automatically sync either.
If your iPod is currently using the manual setting (not automatic syncing), and all of your songs are in your current iTunes library on the computer, you can set it to automatic syncing. Select the iPod in iTunes. In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music. To the right, check the box for Sync Music. NOTE: If that box was not checked already, checking it enables automatic syncing. Any songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library will be lost.
Below the Sync Music setting, if your entire iTunes music library fits on the iPod, choose the option to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. Going forward, updates to your iTunes music library will sync automatically to the iPod without any "lengthy struggle." Supporting data on the iPod such as play count and ratings should also sync back to the computer's iTunes library.

Can't sync songs after 14 gb, itunes gives errors!! Please help!

Hello to everyone, I'm using an Ipod classic, 6th generations, 2009 and i am using itunes with windows 8.1. After the new update of Itunes, i couldn't sync new songs to my Ipod, Itunes shows a lot of erros like 50, 53, 13039. I read and tried a lot of solutions to solve it, i uninstall the Itunes and reinstalled the latest version, it didn't help, i restore, reboot my ipod it didn't help, i deleted my whole library, i tried different cables to plug in, i used all of my usb slots, none of them has helped me!! I'm so close to throw my Ipod out!! I need some help and advice. I could be allowed to sync aprox. 14 gb of songs, but after the remaining space comes to 130 gb (or some other equal space) it starts to give errors that i mentioned above. The only thing that i didn't give a try is trying syncing my ipod with another pc. Is there anybody to help me? What can i do? I guess the problem is with my ipod's harddisk, i hope it is not, i don't want to pay money to get it repaired! All kind of helps will be appreciated! Have a nice day!

Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

Can't sync Iphone after update the Itunes 11.1.5.5

Hi Can seem to get Iphone recognised when hooking up to Itunes to synce phone....... any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Same problem here. I feel like I should know by now not to update iTunes before seeing if there are any issues with the release but I did anyway.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. That didn't work.
I tried doing a System Restore. With the restored version (11.1.3.8 I think it was) I was able to sync using File -> Devices -> Sync but iTunes would crash if I tried navigating to the phone in the Sidebar.
I tried restoring to an even older point but that version gave me an error about missing files and the library being created from a newer version. I tried going back to the later restore but that was no longer working.
I had to install 11.1.5.5. The one that's useless because I can't sync.
Please fix this, Apple!!!

In error I moved most of my itunes content to the trash. How can I move them back to the itunes library?

Is there a way to move these music files back into the library? I do back up an external HD using Time Machine?

Hi,
The best option is to restore your iTunes folder and files from your time machine back up.

Computer crashed after installing new itunes version

My laptop just crashed after installing the new 9.0.2 upgrade. Upon reboot I received a dos screen that said my computer shut down due to a recent download and asked if I wanted to reboot in safe mode or normal mode. I chose to reboot normally and the computer would not boot. Now my laptop won't power up at all. Is there anything I can do, or has itunes killed my laptop??

Please help me ! I don't understand why I had to restore to factory settings and then when I tried to re-sync it kept telling me iTunes is not working. Why ??

TS4062 After installing the lastest update to my ipod touch I can no longer sync my ipodto my computer no matter what I do. I believe it has to do with the password for my ipod and the possibly the password for my itune account. If anybody has any sugge

After installing the latest update to itunes, and my ipod, I can no longer sync my computer and my ipod nomatter what I do. I have tried everything I know and can read. I am beginning to think it has something to do with the password that I changed, but I tried to change it back and nothing happens. Does anybody have any suggestions. I have been working on this for three hours and I can't figure it out? Apple is no help and it was their updates that messed the whole thing up.

After installing the latest version of iTunes , I can no longer export files from EZ Vinyl Converter to iTunes. I tried restoring an older version which accepted these files, but that version no longer will open my library. I have been archiving my albums

After installing the latest version of iTunes, I can no longer export music files converted by EZ Vinyl Conversion software to iTunes, which is the only export option available in the software. I have been converting my vinyl records, tapes and cd's to MP3 files in iTunes for about a year now, and have well over 1000 man-hours invested in this effort. I tried restoring the last version of iTunes, but it will no longer read my library, as, apparently, the new version modified the library file(s) in some way. I want to reenable this export-import function to finish my archival. What is necessary ???

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer). When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod. Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Can't re-install the iTunes

Dear All,
I can't re-install the iTunes after i removed it accidentally.
i have download the lates iTunes version but when i want to install it,
The error message is :
really appreciate the answers and help.
thank you

You also can try this steps posted in another forum:
Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? (There's been a few reports in recent times of Kaspersky interfering with iTunes installs, with that message being produced.)
If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.

How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?
