Horrible issues with new iTunes update

I am having a few issues with the new iTnes update:
I cannot find a way to view the album artwork in the bottom left-hand corner like I used to. I can't find the option anywhere! I want to see it.
Some song files have had their song titles, album titles, etc. changed from what I had them listed as. For example, my Footloose file, which used to say the song title was "Footloose" and the album as "Footloose", now shows the song title as "Footloose (from 'Footloose')" and the album title is blank. When I go to try to change it back, it is all greyed out and will not let me change it!
Song files that I had put in more than one album artwork for, (if the song appeared on more than one album, including greatest hits albums and sountracks) the update now lists them as all individual songs from each one of the albums, so I have tons of repeats. I want it to go back to showing me all the album artwork for ONE file.
This new update has completely destroyed my iTunes library. I am NOT HAPPY.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

Performance issues with latest iTunes update

Hello everyone,
I'm having somewhat of an issue with the latest update for iTunes (10.5), ever since the update was installed the 'AppleMobileDeviceService.exe' is using all my processing power.
Now I know my laptop isn't the latest spec, but before this was never an issue. The only way I can still work with it is when I turn off the service via the Task Manager.
When I launch the iTunes programme it gets even worse, another service called 'APSdeamon.exe' is eating up the processor aswell, albeit they both consume 50% now. As a result I cannot access the iTunes Store or do much else.
I do have to mention all my music is stored on an external HDD which is connected via USB to my laptop, but this was never any different.
I've reïnstalled all Apple components twice already, one including a specific deletion of all Apple program folders manually.
Since I can always turn off the services manually it isn't a big issue, but does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how this could be resolved?

Hello Mauricio,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

Issue with new itunes version

Dear All,
i have a really big issue with the new itunes version. I loaded it today. Besides that every single view changed...
So coming to my issues:
1. my playlists changed to a status of Middle of 2011
2. the songs which i loaded since that and are already on my hdd are only available in the icloud... means to listen to it or to put it to a playlist, means that i would have to load the songs again.... which in my case means 660 Songs.... downloading again on my hdd (means roundabout additional 9 GB of data) and last but not least paying for the 9 GB download...
Is there any chance to link the songs in the playlist again on my hdd, i mean they are still there and i already loaded it down ?!?!?!?!?! In the past it was possible
Hope somebody can help me... and please apple tune back.... itunes is not an easy to use interface anymore... and honestly after having 3 Ipods, 1 Pad and 2 iphones and von itv, i should think about changes... it is already the second time that Itunes completly destroys my playlists and costs me more money.....
HELP!!!!!!
Thax in advance

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas? Worked great before this update!

I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update. Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

Since the latest iTunes update,
1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing. I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
"There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
Thanks for your help.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks.

When will Apple sort out import issue with new itunes?

As it says... when will I see "gracenote" syncing, album, track, and cover art etc. when importing?
Message was edited by: KFF

My question and concern is related to what you are saying. I am not sure about your exact concern though. I don't really know what gracenotes is.
My own concern is that I simply cannot find itunes to be functional at all for importing or burning CDs.
How can this be functional if you can only burn playlists? That decision in the new iTunes may be nice for Apple if they want to sell more media or make it more difficult to easily copy stuff. The problem is that anytime you import a CD, the tracks don't necessarily go into the library perfectly. You alway end up with Duplicates. Why on earth would they make the the one thing that people like to do: drop a CD in and copy it with perfect reproducibility more difficult? If you try this with a mixed CD, it will not only mess up your library temporarily and make you have to corral all of these files just to create a playlist and burn the stupid thing, but it wastes so much time. It can also makes a huge mess with duplicates in your library. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I will never use the most updated version of iTunes again unless there is something I am missing. If anyone knows an easier way to go about this please let me know.
Thanks,
Robert

Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different. I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review. I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking. Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts." When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000. Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently. I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later. In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me. When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again. Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts. I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400. Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them. Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
My question: How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook? And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders? The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me! I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi lastskier
Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
4. Run the install and reboot.
With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
Let me know how you get on.

Problems with new iTunes update

I have recent update my iTunes to 12.1.0.71 on win7, however, the software keeps on not responding. I've tried repairing and re-installing but the problem persists. What should I do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Trouble with new iTunes update setup!

I downloaded the iOS5 update for my iPod Touch and I got a message saying that I also had to update my iTunes. I downloaded the new iTunes Setup Installer and every time I open up the installer I get the message in the picture I uploaded. I've been trying to fix my Windows Installer for a few days and it seems like nothing is wrong with it so any help or advice will be GREATLY appreciated. Without the iTunes update I can't sync any music to my iPod at all. Please help!

Is this on a 64-bit system?
If so, try the following user tip:

Issue with New iTunes

Unfortunatly, I had to restore my computer. I downloaded the new iTunes after restoring, and now I cannot associate my iPod +Nike with my old account. The new iTunes does not allow it. It will only allow me to create a new account, I do not want to lose my old runs and such though!
Does anyone know how I can associate my Nike+ account with the new iTunes????

Ok. I figured it out after my 1st new run. Although iTunes does not let you associate with Nike+ after you install it... after your first new run when you plug in your ipod a dialog will pop up allowing you to associate your iTunes with your account...
Apple Nota Bene: You should be able to associate it right away ... but it's not a techical "flaw" just a minor inconvienence.

I was updating itunes the other day to the latest version, once the update completed, i started to listening to music as you do, then the music stopped and itunes closed. ???? so i then installed it again once it wouldn't open and it wont install, when i install i am greeted by a message saying;
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to be completed could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor".
When i ok this, the install backtracks then installs again then it says itunes has been successfully installed on your computer....tidy!
But then when i try to open the program it tries to configure itunes the fails with the message "Fatal error 07" then even the shortcuts on the desktop fail.
I have searched extensively everywhere and done everything, uninstalled ever aspect of anything apple, bonjour etc. cleaned registry, disk cleanups. and it still fails.
If anyone has a solution to this problem i will be eternally grateful and you will be invited to my birthday party.
P.S - even bonjour doesnt work aswel as quicktime.
