Installing new version screwed up my iTunes

A couple weeks ago, I clicked to update my iTunes to the latest version (as prompted by the program), and after that my files would not play correctly. They sounded very garbled, sped-up and static-y. After Googling the problem, I uninstalled and then reinstalled Quicktime separately, but this did not solve the problem. I tried changing the sound settings on Quicktime, which also didn't work. I also tried reinstalling iTunes...nothing. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do you fix it? It's also affected my iPod; I synced it after this problem began, and now roughly half my songs won't play on the iPod. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried all that stuff like changing ID3 tags to v2.3 (ands all other versions)
I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling. I tried deleting my iTunes library file and the new library file iTunes created could not find half of my MP3s (the ones that won't play at all)
I reverted back to my old library file.
I say that iTunes v7 has DAMAGED my MP3 files and the only way to get them back may be to delete all my music and copy all the stuff off my iPod (that still works thankfully) and then rebuild my library from scratch. Trouble is, a lot of my music is not on my iPod (only have 60gig iPod but 100gig music on PC)
APPLE needs to respond to this problem, it seems quite widespread as there are multiple threads on this similar topic. They need to get a quick and easy fix that repairs the MP3 files
And JardinAtomico just renaming .MP3 to .M4a obviously is not going to work as the files are entirely different formats.

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • Can't install new version of itunes or quicktime

    Like others, I get the error message Apple Application Support needed to run itunes Helper. Uninstall itunes then instal again. I have repeatedly tried to instal new version of itunes having uninstalled (following troubleshooting page) the old version. I also get the Microsoft windows message Windows installer stopped working and was closed. When I try to install Quick Time on its own I get the message "An error occurred during the installation of assembly Microsoft VC.80,CRT.... What can I do?

    In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
    Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
    If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
    [Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
    Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why can't I install newer version of iTunes on my Windows Vista Home Premium?

    Hi!
    Why can't I install newer version of iTunes on my Windows Vista Home Premium?
    I states that I am missing essential files in order to install. It doesn't say which ones.
    Tried to uninstall the old iTunes so now I'm caught without iTunes.
    Any thoughts?

  • I uninstalled older version of Itunes because for some reason it wouldn't start. I installed new version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it WONT RUN either. help please

    I couldn't get my 10.6 version of Itunes to open, so I uninstalled it. Installed newer version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it won't run either. Please help?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • TS3648 I have macbook OS x 10.5.8, how can I install new version.

    I have mackbook OS X 10.5.8 and I can not able to update any new version of OS X or install new version of iTunes(10.7....). please help me find out.

    You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors.
    10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
    10.7 Lion used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
    You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 10.7 or 11.  The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

    When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error 2324 when installing new version

    Got the following error when installing new version.
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324                   
    Also Tried to uninstall after this so I could install from scratch but that failed too. Now, iTunes is in a complete mess where I cannot use, uninstall or install.
    No idea what to do now.

  • Unable to fully uninstall older firefox version to install new version.

    When installing new version of firefox, I receive the instruction that I should re-boot to complete removal of previous version. After doing this, I continue to receive the same instruction when I try to install again.

    I am new to these forums and hope this is posted in the right one. If not, could someone direct me?
    I am having a ton of problems with 5.1. I installed it last Friday (without removing the previous version) and nothing is working properly. It took me 2 days to figure out a way to delete it (uninstaller would not work). To begin with, iTunes would simply not open. I double click on the icon and nothing. Tried to re-install and same problem. Found a copy of 4.9 and installed it, but got error message stating "QuickTime failed ti initialize - Error #2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed. Uninstalled iTunes again and tried to uninstall QuickTime so I could start from scratch. When I run Add/Delete programs, QuickTime does not appear. However, when I run search, it lists a freaking 433 files associated with QuickTime.
    Can someone tell me a simple way to erase iTunes completely from my computer? If I can do this, I will simply reinstall the original iTunes I got with my mini and not worry about updating. I don't care about the podcasts -- I just want to be able to get back to the beginning so I can import tunes to my mini. Sorry for this being so long, but I am at my wit's end dealing with this. Thanks.

  • Do I need to uninstall previous version of Firefox before installing new version?

    I am worrried about installing new version (3.6.13 ) since old version (3.0.15) is working o.k. Can you advise?

    When you install a release version of Firefox (current version is 3.6.15), it will by default replace the existing version. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.
