  • Upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!

    upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!when the iPhone is disconnected iTunes is working properly....
    please help me!!!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • How do I get iTunes to read and import track information?

    How do I get iTunes to read and import track information from compilation CDs? Typically, the compilations have been burned to disk using iTunes or Toast 8 Titanium. I have checked data boxes as available with both softwares. My REGA Planet CD player as well as my car CD player can read the track info but neither my nor my friends' iTunes can read the tracks for importing.

    I don't believe that iTunes can read CDText.

    i bought itunes match yesterday and i can not connect with the server. Error 4010 appear every tiem when i want to entry on itunes match.
    Thanks

    Here are some things to try:
    Close itunes
    Check your internet settings.
    Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
    Check SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
    Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
    Click Apply
    Click Okay
    Open itunes and try again
    And, you don't need to turn off the firewall, just add itunes and itunes helper to your security software firewall.

  • Is there a cleaner that wipe all versions of Reader and Acrobat?

    I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE8.
    I made the mistake of trying to upgrade Reader from version 7 and now I keep getting a message that Reader will not work inside my browser. It looks lik it keeps trying to open Acrobat instead of Reader. I can't seem to fix this and I can't get rid of the Adobe Add-ons in IE. I need something that will comletely wipe all traces of Reader and Acrobat so I can start over again. Does anyone know of a cleaner that is available to do this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Which is why Adobe started building cleaner versions 3-4 years ago. Versions 9 and earlier are no longer supported so building tools for them has a lower priority than adding features to the existing cleaner for 10 and 11.
    For a list of all product versions, see the Release Notes. For what versions can coexist, see the admin guide (yes: Reader and Acrobat can be of different versions with limitations).
    Both docs reside at www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.

    No such message occurs.
    Are you trying to state that it says "Unable to activate"? 
    If so, this typically indicates the device has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided via these forums.

  • Fifth Generation iPod won't play anything purchased from iTunes!

    My 30GB iPod video will not play anything that I have purchased from iTunes.
    I just got it last week and this is really frustrating.
    I got "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth" and the album "Liquid Swords" by Genius/GZA. The video and all the songs play fine in iTunes but my iPod skips through the songs not playing anything and when I try to play the video it goes black like it's going to start playing but then it just goes back to the menu.
    I have looked through the support page and have tried de-authorizing and reauthorizing my computer, updating my iPod (it was up-to-date), restoring my iPod, removing the files from my iPod and putting them back on, re-installing iPod updater, running repair on iTunes, recreating your iTunes library, resetting my iPod, and even tried using a different USB port. All of which produced the same results as before.
    If anybody could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated. I can’t believe it is this difficult to get files from iTunes to an iPod, aren’t these supposed to go hand-in-hand?!?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First set of steps (These are general instructions. You may have tried some)...
    Try playing the song in iTunes for a few seconds, then sync the iPod. Does it work?
    Also, in iTunes go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the song. Type in your iTunes account information and password. Play a few song you have purchased for a few seconds each.
    Sync the iPod. Do they work?
    Also, make sure everything is up to date...

  • Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

    My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

    See this article.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
    The following articles will help you.

  • IPod won't sync after restore - now iTunes freezes up and iPod is empty

    Two days ago my iPod started acting up - playing a song for about the first 10 seconds, then freezing up. I did the 5 R's - many, many resets, switching the USB port, reinstalling the software, and several restore attempts. The new and more pressing issue now is that, after a restore attempt, the iPod syncs to about song #50 (of about 1500) and then iTunes freezes up. Because of the restore, the iPod is now empty...no tunes...and I can't get it to sync. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I fear this is a glitch with the new update? What is the solution here?

    I am having similar problems. My ipod was working perfectly fine in the morning and then at lunch time it said i needed to "connect to computer source and restore" i didnt have a computer at the time so i waited till i got home. when i got home i let it sit on my computer charging before i did anything. i took it off when it was fully charged and went to go listen to it. i listened to one song and in the middle of the second song, the music started to flicker and skip. i just shut off, when i turned it back on again ALL THE CONTENT ON MY IPOD HAD JUST DISSAPEARED. i was so angry and ive been calling around, reading the internet site pages and trying all that i can to fix this **** of a problem but nothing works. HELP ME PLEASE!!

  • My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

    My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
    Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
    The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.
