Having problems with Ghost Songs

Basically I downloaded iOS 8, then when i went to put my songs back onto my phone, iTunes would say that theyre on my phone, but it will gray the song out and put an empty circle next to it. I already tried restoring my phone, restaring everything, and deleting the songs and putting them back on.

Ok, thanks for the distinction. I do subscribe to iTunes Match. Just one thing I'm still wondering about... How do I remove the faded songs with the dotted circles by them from my iPod. They are completely invisible on my iPod, but I can see them here through iTunes, and they take up Other space.

Having problem with listening songs after updating iPad 2 to OS 5.1?

I recently updated my iPad 2 to OS 5.1. After the update, I have been having a problem listening to music. If I go to iPod and start a song after exiting to the home screen, the song stops playing.Why is this happening? I also tried restarting the iPad but still the problem persists.

Read this from Apple. Read the last part about the .ipsw file. I copied the text from here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

New version of Itunes is having problems with crossfading songs, it doesn´t work. How do I fix that?

I installed the new version of Itunes (10.5.2.11) and I have a party playlist in wich I need the songs to crossfade for the music to continue playing non-stop. The problem is that even when the crossfade option is activated, it doesn´t crossfade songs. And when it does, the last song played, keeds playing in backgroung from star, so you hear 2 songs at the same time.
Also, I uninstalled the current version an installed an older version, but it won´t let me open the program, becouse "the iTunes Library was created in a newer vewrsion"
HELP PLEASE!!!!
Diego

It seems that this is a MAJOR issue with MANY end users experiencing the exact same problem - iTunes 10.5.2.11 Crossfade is completely buggy. Apple, get it together, seriously...your QA department should all be fired for this.
Diego, there are numerous threads replicating your problem.
So far, there are a few work arounds:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3408812?start=0&tstart=0
One thing to keep in mind, at least what has worked for me: After you make a change to the crossfade timing, you must close out of iTunes and re-open before the new settings take place.
Crossfade timing = 12 seconds actually equates to about 50 seconds.
Click the slider, then use your arrow key to tick over about 20 times - this should crossfade your songs approximately 6 seconds before ending.
Apply, then close out and re-open iTunes...
Peruse through the link above, there are different approaches. Maybe one will work for you.

My ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

my ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

Hi, so did I. It seems to be a huge problem with everyone. I opened a folder on desktop and called it target. I copied all my songs into that folder.
I uninstalled Itunes completely. Rebooted. Then I installed a fresh install.
I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked. I hope that helps.
I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
Good luck,

I am having problem with speaker the sound is not coming properly from it also the right side hinges

Hi,
I am having problem with speaker from last few days when ever i tryed to play songs the speaker is not giving sound properly. Secondly the the right side hinges also boken so needed support for both the problems.
Thanks & Regards

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

Having problem with midi?

I am having problem with midi keyboard (korg pa80) I having hard time to midi to logic every time I have to either restart the logic or restart the keyboard or plug out the USB cable and put back in order to work. Plus when I created a new track doen't work with it. I have to do same as above to make it work? help please how can i refresh the midi connection with going throw steps above?

Is it the computer dropping the MIDI interface, or the computer connectin is fine adn Logic is not seeing it?
Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility and make sure your MIDI device is present. If not, try another USB port, or don't use a hub.
Assuming the connection is solid, in Logic, option-click on File -> New and try it - if it works in that song, but not your own songs, it's a song specific issue, so check your MIDI input handling in the environment.

I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos? Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes? Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?

Problems with playing songs in iTunes

as the subject says. I have som problems with playing songs. not everyone just a some..
If we take for example that a song is 8min. then at 1.40 it just stops and goes to the next one. I can jump over it with pressing in the middle for example. it plays. as normal. UNTIL. 3 mins. then the same problems appear. I don't really understand how. just between 1.40-1.50 iTunes thinks that the song is finished. I know my english isn't so good but cuz there is no swedish support. I have to write here. any answers would be good

I'm having a similar problem.
Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

Problems with corrupted songs from the iTunes store

Hi there.
I am having problems with some of my purchases from the iTunes store. There are 8 songs from my last 50 purchases or so, that will not download properly. I get error message 100008, saying the file seems to be corrupted and that I should thus try to check my purchase history and re-download. I've tried that many times, but to no avail. I have also tried to deauthorize my computer and then reauthorizing it. Still nothing happens.
Any help would be welcome.
Best regards,
Umahro

Oopss. Wrong forum, as I am using Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Sorry about posting in the wrong forum.

I am having problems with Blackboard 9.1.

I am having problems with Blackboard 9.1. Firefox will not let me type in the little dialog boxes when I try to set up a test or other part of my courses. Also, when I go to the Grade Center, there are no scroll bars in the Grade Center, so I cannot navigate. When I use the computers in our faculty computer center, I do not have those problems. I am also OK when I use IE, even though Firefox is the recommended browser. I have Windows 7 and Firefox 5.

They are not known issues so i'm afraid it's hard to say. Songs that stops and battery drain may be caused by a defect SD card which is why i asked you try try without it.
Could you also try the phone in safe mode to make sure it's not caused by a downloaded app? To restart in safe mode, hold the on/off button and then tap and hold the shutdown option.
If you also see this in safe mode i'm afraid there might be a hardware issue in your phone and i recommend that you contact your local support team for assistance.

Problems with itunes songs to import to CD

I am having problems with my iTunes songs. I want to import my songs that I brought (downloaded) to a cd, but I'm having a problem doing that. It started downloading maybe 1-3 songs then a message pops up saying "Downloading Error--Access denied" and my cd pops out. This has been happening once and a while. Last time I had no problems when I saved my songs to back up. Now that I have a lot of new songs, I want to save them incase something happens. I can't figure out why this is happening. Does anyone know what is going on with my iTunes songs?

If I understand you correctly that you're trying to burn a CD from iTunes, you might want to repost in the Importing and Burning in iTunes forum. Your issue may be more likely to be seen by someone with insight into this issue there.
When you repost, be sure to include details such as your version of iTunes, how you're burning the disk (using the iTunes backup feature or via some other method), what brand and type of CD you're using and whether that brand and type has worked for you in the past, etc. You also probably want to make it clear that you're burning to CD; "import" to most people will mean that you're trying to get tracks into iTunes from a CD.
Regards.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.
