Help!!! Itunes is in Chinese after 7.6 Upgrade

Hello,
My Itunes program menu systems and commands are all in Chinese after I upgraded to version 7.6, although my music files are fine. I have tried uninstalling Itunes and re-intalling Version 7.5 from http://www.filehippo.com but every thing is still in Chinese. Any hints or tricks to get round my problem would be greatly appreciated...

I am going to use this software called Rosetta Stone to learn Russian. I know they have a Mandarin Chinese program as well.
Or, you could try going in to the store icon and at the bottom of the page see if it is set wrong. If it is change back to USA and you should be set.

Help -- iTunes Keeps Restoring Metadata After I Change It

I've spent a lot of time editing the metadata form my iTunes library. Specifically, I erase the composer data for all albums except classical.
However, the data keeps re-appearing for some iTunes. For example, I'll spend time erasing all composer metadata. I'll sign on in a few days, and for about 5 or six albums, the data has re-appeared. I'll erase the composer tag again or replace it with a "space", but in a few days it's bad. It's odd that this always happens with about 4 or 5 albums. And then some albums it happens randomly. On one hand, all of these albums have been downloaded from iTunes. But I've got many, many downloaded albums that don't have this problem.
I do have a subscription to iTunes Match, but I've turned it off on the computer in question.
This is driving me nuts. Any suggestions?
(ETA: Is it possible that Match is replacing the information on my iPhone and that is over-writing iTunes?)

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time. 2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file. https://discussions.apple.com/message/26193185 Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

Help - iTunes display very weird after upgrade

Just upgraded my iMac to iTunes 7.0.2 and MacOS 10.4.8 using Software Update (foolishly accepting the "do you want to upgrade" prompt).
Once I restarted, the iTunes display is completely wacked - displaying weird combinations of letters & symbols instead of the playlist / track titles. For example, under "STORE" instead of displaying "iTunes Store" it displays "<symbol><symbol>F7<symbol><symbol><symbol>F5...". This affects every piece of text on the iTunes window except the headings. If I select an option on the left then it displays correctly - e.g. "iTunes Store". If I select any genres, tracks, etc then they do not change.
The music all plays fine and if I look at the library from another Mac (also using 7.0.2 and MacOS 10.4.8) then it all looks normal.
In addition, the List view in Finder is also weird, with the List view showing all numbers (& the occasional letter) in the file / folder names or details in bold.
This only seems to affect the main account - i.e. the one that owns the library. iTunes & Finder both look fine in other accounts on the same iMac.
I've tried deleting any preference (.plist) files that were recently changed. This does not cure the problem.
I'm stumped - can anyone help with any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
R.

Itunes doesn't work after trying to upgrade

this happened a long time ago, like a couple months maybe, but after i clicked to install itunes 6 or something, my itunes died. the icon is still of my desktop and in my computer but when i click on it to open itunes nothing happens. i get no messages or warnings or explanations, it just will not work.
i am afraid if i uninstall itunes and then try to reinstall it, it will lose or delete all of my music.
please help!!!

hi ariell!
yes, after i click on the icon the hour glass shows up. and yes i have norton anti virus
okay, if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 (it's the firewall that we're interested in, rather than the antivirus), let's try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:

ITunes won't open after I declined upgrade

I opened iTunes and was in the iTunes store when the upgrade window popped up. I clicked to continue without downloading and iTunes shut down. Now I cannot get the application to open. I tried the tabs pinned to my taskbar, the desktop and the start menu. I also tried plugging in my iPod hoping it would kick-start the program; my computer recognized the device but will not play or open iTunes.
Did I somehow uninstall the program by declining the upgrade???

Hey boardxawesome,
Thanks for the question. That definitely sounds frustrating. The following article provides some helpful troubleshooting steps:

If the issue is still not resolved, it may be best to remove iTunes and its related components, then reinstall:

Itunes won't open after OS10.3 upgrade to 10.4

Have installed OS 10.4 Tiger upgrade onto old Macbook G4 with no problem. Tried to open itunes but msg reads: needs 10.4.9 or newer' why??
Previous OS 10.3.9 was running itunes fine. Have OS 10.5 disc but Mac will not restart after initial prompt. Only have 4G left on HD but Safari etc is running ok since upgrade.
itunes mp3 files are still in system but obv cannot open any of them.

You definitely need to free up HD space. My computer uses 6GB for running Tiger. I always try to leave 18GB free. Some say "15% of HD size" but that (IMHO) is a very vague suggestion in these days where people run anything from 20 - 1000 GB HDs. I checked how much HD my computer was using in Activity Monitor and the virtual memory stats., then tripled that so the computer wouldn't be slow hunting for space.
If you don't free up space Tiger will likely crash and maybe corrupt your drive in the process. Your computer may also slow to a crawl. Lots of G4 owners run Tiger but find they have to upgrade RAM and HD from original.

Please help:Midipipe no longer works after Garageband/iMac upgrades

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help. I use my Yamaha Dtxplorer electronic drums to record drums on my iMac's Garageband program. I use a program called "midipipe" to assign the correct midi drum pad sounds before the signal goes into Garageband, and then I use the "EZdrummer" plug-in to get more realistic drums sounds. Here's the problem. In June 2011, I upgraded my iMac to "Snow Leopard" (Mac OS 10.6.7), and at the same time, I upgraded Garageband to Garageband '11 (ie Garageband 2011). Now that I did those 2 upgrades, I can no longer get midipipe to work in any way. There are NO drums sounds coming out through midipipe now, and when trying to tweak the settings, there is no longer any way to click the "hijack" checkbox on the midipipe "midi in" setting. The "hijack" button is now "greyed-out" and cannot be selected. Now I can no longer use my drums with Garageband, which is really, really disheartening. It seems like all I run into with my iMac and Garageband is nothing but problems and glitches that are making me considering recording my music on a Windows computer, and ditching my iMac altogether. I've already tried repeatedly to create new "pipes" with midipipe, but nothing will work since I cannot select the "hijack" button anymore. This problem occurred only after the Garageband and iMac upgrades, and midipipe used to work PERFECTLY with garageband and ezdrummer before. Nothing else in my set-up has changed.
If anyone has ANY possible solutions, please help. I've wasted so much time with this computer already. All I want is for it to work properly. Thank you very much in advance.
Rich

Hi JMX. No, I've had no luck trying to figure out the problem, which started ever since I upgraded my iMac and upgraded Garbageband. No replies except yours, and I googled a bunch of web pages trying to find an answer. The guy who programmed the Midipipe program didn't reply either. I'm thinking about getting a Windows computer to record music, along with Protools. Have horrible luck with Garageband since the day I bought my iMac, unfortunately. Nothing but glitches and problems.
But I wish you (and anyone else running into the same problem) the best of luck. I just don't have the patience for the contstant obstacles when trying to use an Apple Mac to record songs.

Please help, my iPhone is stuck after trying to upgrade to 2.1

I connected to iTunes and it was updating my iPhone 3G to the newest firmware. Then there was an "Unknown Error" and my iPhone is stuck on the black screen with the silver apple logo with the spinning circle at the bottom loading something. I restarted iTunes, my computer, disconnected from USB port and it is still stuck. iTunes doesn't even recognize my phone being plugged in, I can't access it at all or do anything with it... Help!

I read everydaytech's post and found the answer through another user. Thanks for your time.

ITunes Store Scrambled Text after Version 9 Upgrade

I have recently upgraded to iTunes ver 9.0.1.8. Having done so when I access the iTunes store the text within the store is completely unreadable. The main banner advert is readable, the text within each thumbnail is readable, but beyond that, total jibberish. It is the same within each store application. Please can someone help?

I'm having the a similar problem on my work computer as in order to download upgrades I have to sign on as an administrator and then sign back on with my normal account. The upgrade works fine when I'm signed on as an administrator but when I sign back into my normal account the view is scrambled...anyone have any ideas about that? I've never had this problem before, just download the upgrade in the admin account, click on the 'agree' button when the licence agreement pops up and then sign on to my normal account, open iTunes, click the agree button and then work away with the upgraded programme but this time when I log back into my standard username, the programme won't run properly...I have restarted, checked for updates again and it just says that my version is updated but still wont appear properly on the screen...it's downloaded podcast updates and synced my ipod but the screen wont come up...very strange...any ideas?

ITunes store in German after v7.0 upgrade?

Just upgraded to v7.0 and my iTunes store headers are displayed in German.
Selected language in iTunes preferences is English.
How do I change the iTunes store language?
Thanks
Phil

scroll down to the bottom of the front page of your iTunes Store. do you see a little thing saying "Mein Store: Deutschland"?
if so, click on that and select "United Kingdom". are you back seeing English headers again?

ITunes doesn't play after Mountain Lion upgrade

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard, installed Mountain Lion, 10.7.3, and with it the recommended iTunes upgrade 10.6.1. It seems to have broken things.
If I click to play a song I can get the play window, but it'll be frozen at 0:00. Starting, stopping, dragging the cursor: nothing will make the time advance or music play. This happens with samples of music, purchased songs, video samples. The Console isn't showing any error messages.
I've logged out, and back in. I've shut down completely and rebooted. I've check that stuff still plays OK on my iPad.
What next? This is pretty disappointing.

I'd be interested to know if you resolved your issue. I have the same one, and have had an open case number on it for 6 weeks with no resolution from Apple Care support staff including fairly senior ones. Any song or podcast synced to an iPod Classic w/ OS 10.7.4 via iTunes 10.6.1 will not play normally--it starts and stops randomly and skips to other tracks, even when locked in the off position. The laptop is 9 weeks old, the classic is 3 weeks old, and the same happens w/ an iPad 1 and iPod Touch. All devices and the laptop work normally in all other respects. If I download a song or podcast directly via wifi on the Touch it works somewhat better, although there are problems there too perhaps related to the glitchy Voice Control software. I am doing this while temporarily residing in Berlin but I don't think its local wifi protocols since everything plays normally directly on the laptop. I have been using Apple products on a daily basis for 20 years and have never had this kind of a ridiculous problem, not even with crap OSs like 8.1 and 8.5 . . . Apple Care hasn't cut it at on on this one

ITunes won't launch after most recent upgrade

Hello,
I recently installed the iTunes upgrade that appeared on my Software Update application. However, now iTunes will not launch, meaning that when I try to open the application, the icon in the dock bounces once and then nothing further happens. I have tried downloading iTunes directly from the Apple website, but the behavior is exactly the same. What do I have to do to get iTunes to work again?
(BTW, I'm glad to see that the updates are new and improved...)
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you open iTunes from within the Applications folder instead of from the Dock? Does the same thing happen?
