I hate itunes!  I am beginning to hate my Ipad!

It freezes my PC, wont recognize my Ipad, wont sync with my Ipad...  I have reinstalled/uninstalled it but still wont fix the **** problem! 
Itunes then just installed an update and now it wont even run with the update!  What is going on!!!!!!
What is wrong with apple?  Is this the kind of support they give their products?

it is extremely frustrating...  i just bought this around two weeks ago and i am thinking of returning it... 
I have 4GB of ram and it doesnt use all of it... nevertheless, it still slows the PC to a crawl...  I even reformatted the whole PC just to ensure that it was clean....  and reinstalled everything...  I have installed/uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes about 4 times now....  and by God i am ******! If Steve Jobs were here i'd have hit him with his Ipad already! 
I still cant sync my ipad as itunes cant find the **** thing even though windows recognizes it on device manager...   
I really really...  do not know what else i can do...... 
Extremely frustrated!

  • I Hate iTunes. Seriously. So much.

    [Edit: This is more of a iTunes for Macintosh Problem then a windows problem. Windows works perfectly =)]
    I wanted to work on my friend's laptop while i listened to music on my iPod, but my iPod was dead, so i decided i would plug in my iPod and let it charge on his Apple laptop while i used omnigraffle pro to do some work for EA.
    Long story short, iTunes F*ing booted up when i plugged in my iPod and updated my iPod with his non-existant music library on the laptop i was using. All my music - gone -
    I'll explain further if you enjoy reading.
    Now i KNOW that iTunes is notorious for doing this(i've had some close calls in the past), so before i plugged in my iPod i checked in the preferences to see if i could turn off auto-update before plugging in my ipod (My friend has the latest version of iTunes, version 7.2. I think the layout is ugly buggy. I use the old version 6 becuase it works and simple). Alas, there were no such options that i could find, and i looked multiple times. I know on the windows version that i use, you can "Manually update songs and playlists" through the preferences tab.
    So then i asked my brother, and since we both use the windows version, he's like "ya it should ask you before it tries to update anything when you plugged it in, so dont worry", and i plugged in my ipod.
    iTunes reads the iPod, it begins to say, "UPDATING IPOD- DO NOT DISCONNECT", and im like hmmmmk. Thats normal? The whole thing took about 5 seconds.
    Then i try to play my music, which it has listed, but every single song has gone AWOL on my iPod, and it just endlessly cycles through every song on my ipod.
    Im now in the process of putting all my music library back onto my ipod, but there is a lot of music from my old computer that was on my iPod that is not on my new computer, which i use right now. There is also a lot of music i created which is gone. =(
    So i guess, in other words, i really hate iTunes. I hate it for being so dumbed down that i cant do something as simple as change how my iPod is updated. I hate it for making me waste a lot of my time with this.
    i just wanted everyone to be aware of this!

    I think because you had set the iPod to manually manage, it didn't ask when plugged into the Mac.
    There are several ways to prevent it though (this should work on both Windows and Mac):
    1) Kill the iTunes Helper application before connecting the iPod.
    2) Open iTunes and open the preferences dialog. This blocks the update from occurring.

  • Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to old version. Now I get error msg when I open that says The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes but won't open or play songs.  HELP!!!!

    Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to the old version. Now I get a msg when I click to open iTunes stating, "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created in a newer version of iTunes" and it will not open.  HELP!!  How can I revert the library as well?

    I hate iTunes 11 too... and I also want to revert to previous version. But Apple seems to be so incredibly customer-friendly these days that is quite deliberately not publishing clear/simple revert instructions. I think it's a disgrace that Apple removed Cover Flow without warning people who are tempted to upgrade. Absolute disgrace. And now we're stuck with this piece of ..

  • How do I get my old Itunes back? I HATE Itunes 11

    I liked the old version of Itunes better, I HATE Itunes 11     HOW DO I REVERT TO THE OLD ONE?  HELP and not lose my music library

    To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • HT3842 I updated iTunes to 11 and now I am unable to delete anything!! Very annoyed and I hate iTunes updates anymore. It shows a cloud with an arrow for me to download and I dont want to download the items..I already have them! How can I delete this garb

    I have the same problem.   It's showing old podcasts that are available for download and I already watched and I don't want to see them again and I don't want them listed in my iTunes.  This latest upgrade is a piece of junk so far.   It destroyed my itunes podcast listing on my Windows Machine.   I have no intentions of upgrading to iOS7 or my Mac until I hear that things are fixed. 

  • I hate iTunes.  It continues to download HD versions of movies when I tell it not to.  The movie I want is 4.4 gigs.  I have deleted all my apps and half my songs and still don't have enough space.  iTunes is near impossible to navigate.

    I have downloaded Oblivion six times and it continues to bring the HD version.  I have unchecked the "Download HD when available" but I continue to get a file that is 4.4 gigs large. 
    I hate iTunes. 

    You purchased the HD version, not the regular version.  It will continue to download the version you bought.  If you want the SD version you have to shell out for it.  Apple doesn't do returns.
    Watch your movie.  You can always put other stuff back on later, especially music.

  • I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

    You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
    The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
    Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

  • ITunes launches and begins to play independently, how to prevent?

    iTunes launches and begins to play without my action. Restarting does not correct this problem. Is there a setting or a issue in the OS that causes this? How to prevent?

    When in system preferences - security, you need to click on the padlock and then go into advanced. Then you will check, disable remote control infrared receiver

  • Itunes on macbook pro not synching with iPad

    I am trying to copy music that is in iTunes on my Macbook Pro to my iPad.  When I connect the two devices and begin the synching process, none of the music and playlists on my Macbook Pro transfers to my iPad, which currently says I have "No Music."   I subscribe to iTunes Match and thought whatever I had on my Macbook Pro would also be available on my iPad. On my iPad I do have iTunes Match and Show All Music turned ON.  

    This topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
    With iTunes Match enabled on iOS devices traditional syncing via USB or Wi Fi is diasabled. All music management takes place directly on the iOS device. To sync via USB turn off iTunes Match on the iOS device.

  • Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. Then iWork would be listed as purchased app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account...

    Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi,
    I was able to load the Productivity Suite / Free !!  on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s with no problems and at no cost.

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • How can I view my app purchases when it keeps sending me to iTunes which does not work on my iPad and yet shows activity?

    I Just received a receipt from the App Store. It was for opening one section of a game when I had already bought the full game. I went to the bottom to check on my purchases. It took me to the App Store for view history. I entered my Apple ID and then it switched me to ITune which doesn't work on my iPad! And yet it showed activity in ITunes. A few months ago I had a purchase show up that I didn't make. I contacted the developers because I love their new products so much and wanted to see if it might be a bug in their system because the confusion was within their games only. I would REALLY like to view my APP STORE history but it only lets me get to the part where you can open the apps that are showing. Is their a way to view my full APP history, with dates, money spent etc? I would love to know how to get there. Thank you, Diane Maya

    Pay attention to the numerous posts on this tonight.....try again tomorrow.

  • TS2818 I have purchased songs from iTunes and when I sync with my Ipad only some are imported....then it says contact Itunes as to why your songs are not being synced.

    I have purchased many songs on Itunes and then I sync to my Ipad. Then it tells me so many songs cannot be synced.  Why? I also attach my connection and it is now saying this iphone is not connected when it is an Ipad connected to my MacBook Air.  I also think that when you have an account with Apple they should honour your email to all your music and not just your laptop as I now have to use my old laptop which is about to die so what happens then. 

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Were all songs purchased by the same iTunes account?
    What did iTunes say when you contacted them?

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:
