Drive spindown causes problem with iTunes/Airport

Here's my setup:
Mac OS 10.5.8
Airport Extreme N Base Station
Airport Express N
Latest iTunes
USB external HD connected to AEBS via USB hub
Here's my problem:
I have the USB HD connected as a shared drive to the AEBS. The HD contains my iTunes folder and all of the music I have in the iTunes playlist. It appears that the HD spins down while not in constant use. So, while I am listening to iTunes via the Airport Express, the music cuts out, but iTunes shows that its still playing. I believe this cut out or pause in sound is caused by the spin down of the HD. When I stop the play button in Itunes, then hit play to start playing, the music comes back on.
This is probably confusing.
This is really annoying.
This problem doesn't happen when I'm listening to the radio.
Does anyone know what's happening?
Is it the spin down?
How do I prevent this?

Seagate.
I downloaded a applescript "Keep Drive Spinning" for the downloads section.
I'll see if that helps.

Resetting Safari causes problems with iTunes

I frequently have to access a problematic Web portal for work that requires me to accept all cookies for it to work properly. So, I've take to periodically resetting Safari to clear out all the tracking cookies that accumulate.
The problem is this: when I reset Safari, iTunes Match stops working (it doesn't throw an error; the icon just changes to a cloud with a lightning bolt inside).
In order to get things working again, I need to log out of both Match and the iTunes store, quit/relaunch iTunes, log back in, re-add the computer, and wait for it to sync before I can use Match again.
Even if, by some distorted sense of programming logic, Apple has linked the browser to it's music player, performing a housekeeping function in one app shouldnot cause an adverse issue in another app.
This issue has been going on for several versions of both apps, and I was hoping it'd be cleared up with iTunes 11, but, nope. I've even reinstalled the OS and started from scratch on one of the machines when I upgraded the hard drive, but the problem persists there, too.
I'm using Safari 6.0.2 on OS 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro, Safari 6.0.2 and 10.8 on both a MacBook Air and a Mac Mini, and have the same issue with all three.
Annoying, to be sure.
So, after all of that, does anyone know of a workaround that will allow me to clear Safari of unwanted tracking crap without causing all those login issues with iTunes Match?

I only signed up to iTunes Match a couple of days back but am also having this problem on my Macbook Air. I too like to Reset Safari regularly.
As you've noticed, it is the cookies being cleared by Safari which causes this problem. I've gone into the cookies and found apple.com is the one that we need to keep in order to keep iTunes match happy on this device. I've tried to find a way to protect this cookie and exclude it from Reset Safari or Remove All Website Data, but no joy. I can't find a way to do this.
One workaround I have come up with though, is to manually delete the cookies and other website data, whilst keeping apple.com. This may be of no help to you, zeraphoto, as I guess you're looking for a way to do this with one click, such as Reset Safari, but this may be of use to others with less knowledge of cookies.
When you go to Reset Safari, untick Remove All Website Data. This will prevent cookies from being deleted. To clear cookies and other webiste data, go to Safari Preferences, Privacy, then under Cookies And Other Website Data click on Details. Here you will find the sites which have cookies and other website data stored on the device. Simply select all except for apple.com, and hit Remove. iTunes Match will still work.
Like you say though, Apple really need to make iTunes independent of Safari. If it is storing data, it shouldn't be in the general cookies location on the device. It makes no sense.
Apple, please correct this somewhat major flaw.

Oracle 8.1.7 driver limit causes problems with CMP

The information below is from Oracle's site and has been noted by a few
people on various message groups. We had upgraded to 8.1.7 but hadn't put
the latest classes12.zip (June 2001) in our classpath. When we do, we get
the following error from the driver/generated code. We believe this is
because we are hitting the limit cited below. I don't know why the Oracle
driver has this limit, but since WL generates this code for the EB, I don't
see an easy way for us to avoid it.
Anyone have any comments on this? Is my interpretation of the stacktrace
correct? If we go back to the old classes12.zip (June 2000) then we don't
have this problem. But in addition to wanting to run the matching zip file
with the version of the DB, we also want to use some of the functionality in
the 8.1.7 zip. Does BEA have a workaround for CMP?

Using Streams to Avoid Limits on setBytes() and setString()
There is a limit on the maximum size of the array which can be bound using
the PreparedStatement class setBytes() method, and on the size of the string
which can be bound using the setString() method.
Above the limits, which depend on the version of the server you use, you
should use setBinaryStream() or setCharacterStream() instead.
When connecting to an Oracle8 database, the limit for setBytes() is 2000
bytes (the maximum size of a RAW in Oracle8) and the limit for setString()
is 4000 bytes (the maximum size of a VARCHAR2 in Oracle8).
When connecting to an Oracle7 database, the limit for setBytes() is 255
bytes (the maximum size of a RAW in Oracle7) and the limit for setString()
is 2000 bytes (the maximum size of a VARCHAR2 in Oracle7).
The 8.1.6 Oracle JDBC drivers may not raise an error if you exceed the limit
when using setBytes() or setString(), but you may receive the following
error:
ORA-17070: Data size bigger than max size for this type
Future versions of the Oracle drivers will raise an error if the length
exceeds these limits.

I added some debug output to verify that this problem is definitely caused
by the WL generated code/Oracle driver. To do this, I used
the -keepgenerated code on ejbc. Then I modified the generated code to
print the length of the byte array before calling setBytes. I compiled the
class and put an updated version in my bean jar.
When I run our test suite, I see hundreds of calls to setBytes with sizes
such as 315, 368, 1988, 2020. And then occasionally there are sizes of
41932 or 19409. These larger sizes are always followed by the ORA-01483
exceptions.
This appears to be certain confirmation that the problem is caused by the
8.1.7 driver's enforcement of the 4k limit on the methods that the
WL-generated code is using to map our Java byte[] to our Long Raw/BLOB field
in Oracle. Any suggestions for workarounds?Actually, it indicates the driver's being caught by the limitation that
Oracle itself imposes with setBytes(). This is a known issue I believe, and
you should ask support for a patch to ejbc that generates calls to setBinaryStream()
rather than setBytes().

We use WL 5.1, SP10. I've noticed that sp11 is now out, but it doesn'tseem
to have any fixes for this problem (it mentions Oracle 8.1.6, but not8.1.7,
which seems to be the release in which Oracle started enforcing thislimit).
We're kind of stuck at the moment, I'm surprised no one else hasencountered
this problem with WebLogic (I have seen postings elsewhere about it with
other AppServers)

Hi Joe,
From your CMP DD it's clear that you use WL 5.1. Which service pack
do you use?
AFAIR this problem was fixed in WL 6.1, though I'm not sure about
5.1. Could you use ejbc with -keepgenerated option and look at
SystemSessionDataPSWebLogic_CMP_RDBMS.java, particularly
how bind variable related to you LONG RAW? Is setBytes used? Or
it's something like setBinaryStream?

The table has only three fields: two IDs (Number(18)) and a Long Raw

are storing a Hashtable in. The field seems to be filled fine most of
the
time. With the old driver, it always works. As soon as we switch thenew
driver in, certain operations fail consistently. I haven't verifiedthat
the size is indeed > 4k in these cases, but our error matches whatothers

My apple ID was the original without the email extension. It caused problems with ITunes conversion after the last upgrade. Tech fixed that issue but my MacBook defaults to the old ID. Even though I have a new ID it defaults to the old. iTunes is ok.

How do I change my Apple ID, when it defaults to an old ID and ITunes is accepting another ID? The IDis very old and does not contain an email extension. I had a problem because of that earlier this year in my ITunes account and Apple fixed it.

Get in touch with Apple again -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

Problems with iTunes, Airport Extreme and external HD

Hi guys,
I am having difficulties playing back films and TV shows which have been downloaded from the iTunes store to a iomega HD which is connected to an apple extreme. During the download, everything looks right and I can even watch it from the iMac (while downloading), from which I purchased the media. But then, once download is complete, I only see the name and generic file symbol for that particular media and I cannot play the media on the iMac or AppleTV and the cover image has disappeared. This does not happen when the external HD is directly connected to the iMac.
I would appreciate some help, if possible. Thanks in advance.

The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.
You can download a free version of an excellent scanner- Malwarebytes here:

Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop

I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

GEARAspiWDM.sys causes problems with PlexTools.

The unsigned driver GEARAspiWDM.sys (to be precise: upper filter) that you installed on my system cause problems with my DVD recorders (Px-716A and PX-760A). First thing I notice is a longer responce time (delay). The big problem is that there are faults while trying to erase or burn DVD media (I mostly use rewritable disks). I love iTunes, but just keep in mind why using upper filters and/or unsigned drivers is a very-very bad idea! The least you can do is to ask the user if he/she wants to install this driver.
I found my way to uninstall the driver manually. Later I found the uninstaller from Gear Software:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/cfknowledgebase/articledisplay.cfm?articleid=295
Now iTunes will alert me that it cannot burn disk on every startup. You know what? I don't care about this future! So don't bother me every startup!

We know about the large file support issue (though this given version of it looks new to me) and work on it.
There is no intent to set __GNUC__ for us, nor we recommend users to define __GNUC__ with our compiler.
However we do have (another) solution for this issue and it will be available in one of the upcoming Sun Studio eXpress releases.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working.

Problems with iTunes

I've recently started having a few problems with iTunes, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to go about fixing them.
First of all, iTunes opens up (it takes quite a long time) and then everything goes slow. It keeps automatically updating the podcasts, of I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, it says (under CPU) that iTunes is using (anywhere between)65 - 99% of the cpu. So if i stop it from updating the podcasts, the CPU usage goes down. Is there any way of resolving this?
Also, (whether CPU usage for iTunes in 99% or 0%) all my music is jumpy. It plays about a second, jumps, plays abother second, jumps... nothing willlay properly. This has only started happerning in the past few days.
I'm not sure if this came about after upgrading (i don't remeber if i upgraded iTunes recently or not).
One final problem that I've had for ages. (I think this might be more something wrong with my computer / windows) but iTunes wont always open straight away, If i double click on it, it will load for a few seconds then nothing will happern. So i forget about it, and start doing something else / leave the computer, then about 1/2 an hour later iTunes pops open. As I've said, I don't think that this is caused by iTunes, because if I restart my pc, it will (normally) open straight away.
I am using iTunes 6.0.4.2
Thanks for any help

I do not mean to be rude but considering the problem, What is your computers RAM Memory capacity if you are close to the maximum this could be part of your problem, also do you do disc clean up and defrag. regularly? there is also another facility that might help and that is a registry cleaner (do not start thinking massive outlay at this stage. The disc clean up and defrag should be part of your computers tools) The registry cleaner is available until later this year as a free item (Beta) from Microsoft. If you are fully clear there are all your 'cookies' clean out every day preferably 2-3 times per day they do mount up and take up disc space.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.
