If you were having trouble playing mp3s after the IOS5 update - TURN OFF ZONE ALARM!

UGH!!!
I finally found this suggestion after plowing through MANY pages and threads on here and all over the web. Someone suggested that ZoneAlarm and iTunes "clash" so I turned off my ZoneAlarm and now can FINALLY transfer mp3s to my phone without having them playback improperly. Before songs would start like 20 seconds in, then jump back to the beginning, then the middle again, despite the files being perfectly fine on my computer and also in the "music" section of iTunes (but would be faulty once transferred to my device).
This is a HUGE relief. I've been without music for over a week and it was complete ****. I had to use the Pandora app to get SOME kind of songs but compared to being able to listen to my own library, it was pretty much ****.... Just wanted to pass along this idea to anyone else who is struggling.
APPLE........ GET YOUR #(@#$U#@$#@$#@$#@$#@$#@()%R$)*%R$ TOGETHER. ***?

This is very helpful! How do I create .m4v or .mp4 vidoes that "Fast start"? Just changing the extension doesn't work -- and exporting takes time. I'd love another fast solution like this for opening and "Save As" -- that results in the MPEG-4 extensions that my users are expecting. (Yes, QT is a container format, and yes this .mov has the same media H.264 media streams, but we'd like folks to be able to drag these into itunes or similar and get them quickly on iPods.)
Thanks!

Having issues playing videos after the latest update

After the latest update for ITunes, I am having issues with some of my videos. Some of my videos will play while others in attempting to play them will play back choppy, at times the picture will freeze and then all at once the video will start fast forwarding to catch up to where it should be, and then at other times the video will cut out intirely, the screen will be completely black without the control areas in the top right corner or the center of the bottom of the screen even being visible.
Have been unable to watch a large number of my TV series, and movies.

Try playing videos directly in Quicktime:
1.) Open Quicktime
2.) Click File > Open File
3.) Navigate to your iTunes folder
4.) Movies are in iTunes\Movies\, TV in iTunes\TV Shows\, podcasts in iTunes\Podcasts
5.) Select a video and open it
6.) Watch in awe as Quicktime plays it perfectly, full screen option is in the View menu BTW.
iTunes 10.7.0.21 is a disaster.

Anyone else having trouble with Facebook since the last update?

Still having trouble sending mail after Yosemite software update!!

It worked for a few days after I installed the update, but it's now having the same issue all over again with outgoing mail. Infuriating!

Hello champsanmarcos,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with outgoing in message in Mail for Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t send messages
If the Send button is dimmed in the toolbar of your message, or your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, try these suggestions.
Make sure the outgoing (SMTP) mail server is specified as directed by the provider of your email account. For more information, see Verify an account’s outgoing mail server.
If a dialog states that you need permission to send a message, your account uses parental controls. For more information, see Request permission to send messages.
Choose Window > Connection Doctor, then follow instructions displayed in the Details column.
If there’s a firewall problem, verify that firewall software isn’t blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587. Also check whether you’re affected by another firewall, such as software installed separately from OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or administered by your account provider. Contact the appropriate person for information.
You may be able to send messages from only a certain location, or your account provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Contact your provider, then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences as needed.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Having trouble playing movies through the iPod

Does the iPod have to be in a certain mode to play movies through a component cable

Assuming that a compatible cable is being used to output the video to a capable TV, you also need to make sure the TV Out setting is enabled from under Video -> Video Settings -> TV Out.
See this article to determine if you are using the correct cable for your model iPod.

Anyone else having trouble w/ airport after today's update?

Got a message that there was an Airport update today so I downloaded it (unfortunately, I didn't write down what version it was and don't know how to see what I've recently installed). Suddenly an otherwise robust internet connection is plagued with dropouts and slow connections. I get bursts of normal activity followed by bouts of 2-3 minute pauses/timeouts. Airport strength has gone from a consistent "4 bars" to sometimes 3 and the router is only 6 inches away. This has not been a problem until just tonight and I only downloaded and installed the update 4 hours ago so I'm laying the blame diectly at the update's doorstep. I have cycled the power to both the router and modem as well as restarting the Macbook. No luck. Can I somehow rollback the update? Anyone experiencing this issue?

I think the problem is the Airport Uitlity version 5.21. I installed 5.21 on my Windows XP computer. After installing, I got a nice WiFi connection, but I could not obtain a DHCP lease. If I plugged in with a CAT5 connection, I did get a DHCP lease.
I un-installed 5.21, re-installed 5.0 from the CD that came with the Aiport Extreme Base Station, then upgraded to 5.1 from the Apple web site. After that, getting a DHCP lease over WiFi worked again.
I have not tried installing the Airport Utility on my Macbook, since ther are already so many WiFi headaches with the Macbook, I didn't want to add another thing to the mix.

Did anyone have trouble with iTunes after the recent update?

My music and playlists were wiped out. THen I tried to sync my iPhone and it tried to wipe out everything on there with the new iPhone software update.

Typically one buys an external hard drive and at regular intervals you copy the contents of your main hard drive to the external hard drive in case something happens to the contents on the internal drive. That is a backup. There is software to facilitate this, including Time Machine which is part of the system software OSX 10.5 on. If you don't have this then it's like owning a house without insurance.
An external drive costs around $100 so it is cheap given the high degree of inconvenience caused by losing the contents on your main drive. Your main drive will fail at some stage and then you lose everything, 100%.
If your library truly is gone then you will have to start over. iTunes is not supposed to erase it when updating but it does happen occasionally which is why you always make sure your backup is up to date before updating software. If your items are purchased from Apple you may be able to download them again. If it came from another source then you will have to turn to that source.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
(I'm not sure if the below is still the same with iTunes 11)
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes( iTunes11: Button at top right).
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Anyone having this problem after the IOS5 update?

I uploaded the new software into our 4 iphone 4's. Two of them have no problem and are working fine. The other 2 keep searching for signal. They will show 4-5 bars and all of a sudden say "searching" for about 7-8 seconds, then show the bars again. We have tried restaring the phones several times and nothing. Our carrier is AT&T. Anyone else having this problem?

The space bar is no longer working to play/pause, after the latest update to iTunes.

I hope this is not on purpose. It is a wonderful tool to stop the music when I need to answer my phone in the office.

I fix the problem so I no longer need any help.

Iphone4 having problems syncing music after the latest update. only half of my music has been synced. during the syncing process the system stalls and i get an error stating itunes cannot locate the file.

My IPhone 4 is experiencing an issue since the latest update. Itunes will not allow the library to sync my entire library. Itunes get stalled and the error message reads ITunes can't find the file for a certain song.

I had the same issue and was told it was because I was using Windows XP. Not sure if the same issue or not, but check that first.

Was my iPad wiped after the iOS5 update?

Good evening everybody. I updated my iPad to iOS5 and I was wondering if all my information would be gone? The reason I'm asking this is because I sold my iPad INSTANTLY after i updated to iOS5. When i turned on my iPad, it asked me to choose a language, a location service, and a wifi network. I never actually went through my iPad after updating, and I just assumed everything was wiped. However, my sister keeps telling me my iPad still has my information. I don't recall pressing back up on iTunes. Does anyone know if my iPad has been wiped?

WorriedGuy wrote:
I THINK I'm safe, but I'm not sure. I don't recall pressing erase content, nor pressing back up.
The upgrade system has had dealings with people like you. That's why it usually doesn't ask you about back ups prior to wiping. Instead, it just does it.

Apps, some music, videos are gone after the ios5 update

Hello, mates.
1. I am wondering how I can get all my apps back. About 30 apps worth about 50 bucks are gone. Some of them can be downloaded back for free (I bought them) on appstore, but some seem to require repurchase (only buy option is available in the appstore for the apps that I bought long time ago).
2. Some of the songs (the ones that cannot be downloaded on itunes, so I downloaded them from torrents. (folk, russian, kazakh, and etc)) were erased from my iphone 4. They are not present at the itunes (I updated today), neither in my playlists, nor in the general music folder. How can I get them back?
3. I bought a couple movies a long time ago for my ipad. I then gave it to my little brother as a present (he blackmailed me, lol), and started using his own apple id. Is there a way I could download the same movies for my new macbook or iphone 4 without having to pay again?
4. I have a second apple id that has a lot of shows. How can I download these shows on my macbook without having to erase my current itunes lib?

Siri isn't supported on the iPad 2.
