Did the new iTunes disable my music cds?

My eMac 700 with combo drive running OS X 10.3.9 and iTunes 7 does not want to play a music cd. I just reinstalled the operating system and nothing changed. How can I uninstall iTunes with all of it's extensions? I believe it has something to do with iTunes. The drive just sits there and spins with a moaning sound. Put a cd in with data on it and no problem.

I ended up moving the iTunes plist files into a folder on my desktop. This seemed to force iTunes to build new plist files. Now I could play a music cd with iTunes on my eMac. So there is something in iTunes that must be broken.

  • Is it just me or did the new itunes make your songs sound like crap too?

    I just got home and put on some music in itunes. I was taken aback by the horrid sound quality that came out. It seemed like every time the guitar would palm mute, the speaker would bottom out. I have Event studio speakers so I don't think it's them. What gives?

    I have not heard any difference on my set-up.
    I stream music via an Airport Express to my Hi-Fi and it still sounds as good as it did before.

    when i sync my music to my iphone all my music only plays half the song and says silent until the next song.  how do i fix this problem

    Does the music play properly in iTunes? You may need to backup and then immediately restore the device.

  • Why did the new update for itunes wipe out my music library?

    Why did the new update for itunes wipe out my music library?

    Very vague question.
    It should not.
    There is no way to know with the vague question you asked and no information at all.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • I am having trouble setting up icloud it keeps sending me back to install instructions and I'm just getting frustrated. So far I'm not liking the new itunes I can't figure out how to  look at my duplicate music like I used to.

    I can't sign on to icloud. It says I need an icloud account. I click the help option it send me back to the same page. I reinstall it nothing.
    Download the iCloud Control Panel.
    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
    ok I can't seem to set up iCloud on any device I don't understand... Ive already installed it three times.
    Turn on iCloud.
    From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
    Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
    For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
    there is no iCloud control panel but I click on i cloud. Then entere the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account - WHAT!!!!? where is this I keep trying to find out how to create and iCloud account but I keep getting these stupid directions!!!
    Enable automatic downloads.
    To enable automatic downloads for your music, apps, and books, open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > Store and select Music, Apps, and Books.* (Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.)
    - This is the only step that makes sense and already did it...
    Turn on iCloud for the rest of your devices.
    To get the most out of iCloud, set it up everywhere.
    This is soooo frustrating!!!!
    Also I want to be able to look at duplicate songs on my itunes but after I downloaded the new version I can not figure out how to get that back. If the duplicate setting isn't in the new itunes I want the old version back.

    Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • HT201269 I had an old PowerMac and now i have the MacBook Pro.  I am not use to the new iTunes.  I use to be able to drag music that I had added onto my computer from a CD to my iPhone or iTouch.  How do I do that with the new iTunes?

    I have CDs that I want to import onto my new MacBook Pro to my iPhone.  I am not use to the new iTunes with the Mountain Lion software.  I had an old PowerMac that had the Leopard software and I was able to drag those songs to my iPhone.  I can't find that option.  When I find the song I want to add to my iPhone, I tried dragging it to the top when it shows that my iPhone is connected with iTunes.  Or how do i do this with the Cloud?  I am new to that as well.  Seems like it just held my purchased songs from iTunes.

    iCloud only has content purchased (or free) from iTunes. Ripped music or music from other sources is only on your computer. As the iPhone can only sync with one computer at a time you should copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one. It's in the Music folder on the old one, just copy the entire folder to the Music on the new computer. When you first sync your iPhone content will be replaced by the content of the new computer.
    You can optionally enable iTunes Match. This searches the non-iTunes content in iTunes or on your iPhone and finds the original digital version on the Internet if it exists. This then becomes your backup. If you have music that it cannot find it will upload it to your cloud storage, but you may have to pay for the storage if it is over 5 GB total (along with your backup). iTunes content and Match content are not included in the 5 GB free limit.
    Usually to fix mail issues just delete the account, reset (reboot) the phone by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears, and adding the email account(s) back.

  • How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
    The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
    With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too.  I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly.  I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes.  I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
    Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
    Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

    Hi hobbss,
    It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes.  You can access it again by following this:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:

  • My desktop with iTunes crashed, how do i get my music on my phone to the new Itunes on my laptop?

    My desktop with iTunes crashed, how do i get my music on my phone to the new Itunes on my laptop?

    Have you not got a backup of your content on external drives and/or CDs/DVD ? If so then you can copy that onto the computer and load them into iTunes. Have you tried doing File > Transfer Purchases in iTunes with the phone connected to see if any of you purchases transfer over ? If you are in the US then you should also be able to re-download past music purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you havn't bothered backing up your content then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned on this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893
