Is I-tunes 8 to blame?

Hi, My computer has been running incredibly slowly for a while now. When I'm on the internet, it often freezes and I have to cose everything down. When I type, it often takes my computer a few moments to catch up. I've written several sentences before it even show up on the screen.
Not knowing much about computers, I thought that maybe it's just getting overloaded and struggling to run properly. It has been de-fragged, and files compressed. This didn't help, so I thought I'd start deleting files, starting with deleting my songs on I-tunes. I had trouble with deleting files from i-tunes, but not from my i-pod, and while searching for an answer here, I've come across so many people with problems with i-tunes 8 that I'm starting to think that this may be the problem.
Could this be the case?

Running 7.6.1(9), the latest version. I'm having no trouble with it. I downloaded it and never thought another thing about it. This has been my general experience with iTunes. A few versions back, I had a problem where my library wasn't saving (error 50) but that was relatively harmless and rapidly fixed. I'm syncing three different iPods and an Apple TV. My library is located on an external hard drive.
I don't run too many add ons or plug ins for iTunes. I have a reasonably zippy MacBook and 2 gigs of RAM.

I tunes is running slow how do i make it go faster?

I tunes is running slow how do i make it go faster?

I am running the latest version of Internet Cleanup, version 5.0.0 (536) and don't see any updates to that, however, my MBP just started Kernel Panics (very rare) after a recent Software Update (Security or similar). Won't removing the files NetworkSpyAlert.kex and NetBlockade.kext uninstall this function of Internet Cleanup? I realize kernel extensions (.kext files) can bring down the OS, and try to stay away from them, unless they're from Apple directly. Third parties may be slow to fix or they blame each other and guess who usually wins? This leaves the user in a pickle, unless one adopts the practice of "it if crashes the Mac OS and didn't come from Apple, remove it" stance: practical.
Thank you for your posting, as my search and the KP output found Internet Cleanup's NetBlockade:

Vista and i tunes

I keep getting problems with running i tunes with my new comp, and vista
When i try ti import from a CD I get an arror message
"error occured while converting the file "song title". An unknown error occured (-50)."
The same message with downloads, can anyone help me on this

Maybe enough people will complain. Tried all the
helps on here no luck, can't play purchased music.
Will Authorize computer, go through process, but
still won't authorize it. Why can't Apple and
Microsoft just lear to play nice with one another. I
blame both of them......
I am having the same problem....after upgrading iTunes continually asks for authorization and will not play!

Unable to import TV programs saved through TV tuner

I have an iTouch and some TV programs saved on my PC (saved through the TV tuner). They are in .dvr-ms format and I can't import them into iTunes. When I try to import one of the TV programs, nothing happens (no error message or anything). iTunes Help tells me how to convert a file once it has been imported into the iTunes Library, but it is absolutely useless in helping to get files such as these into the iTunes Library first. I bought this iTouch principally so that I could watch saved TV programs while I am on the road. I will be very unhappy if I'm not able to do that. Any help?

blame the manufacturer of your tv card and Microsoft.
The tv card I use included lovely software that gives me several options for export of recorded material-divx,mpeg 4, mpeg 2, h.264 for iPod and the iPod Touc/iphone, etc.
Good luck finding software to convert whatever format the stuff you saved is in, I recommend doing a google search.
PS- read this for info on file format and possible solutions to get it out of MS proprietary format into something usable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVR-MS

Cable TV Tuner for Laptop

I have a Lenovo g550 that I want to use for live cable tv. can I get the adapter - what do I need - etc.

Do you want access to encrypted content or only unencrypted content (re-feeds of OTA broadcast networks over the cable network).
For the former, you need a CableCard-enabled tuner. These are currently only sold in a prepackaged bundle with CableLabs-certified PCs. Blame CableLabs for this. There are eventually going to be CableCard enabled tuners sold independently of CableLabs-certified PCs that only allow tuning of content marked "copy freely" - Which is not guaranteed to give you more than OTA broadcast network re-feeds. (If you are a Time Warner customer - everything but the broadcast networks is marked copy-once or copy-never by TWC in almost all markets.)
For unencrypted content, you can use any of the Hauppauge external WinTV-HVR solutions - http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/prods_hvr_external.html

How can you get your data back on i tunes

Hi i am Justin,
I have i phone and i have i tunes here is my problom. last night i formatted my HP windows 7 computer and i backed up my pictures and backed up i tunes witch i thoght i did becasue i backed it up on my external 500 MB hard drive and with out making a folder and c oping i tunes i only backed up library and before the format i went to edit, preferences and adavaned in i tunes (sorry about the bad spelling) becasue apples's step by step i read and saw the pictures were to go and i thought i can back up i tunes that way. My phone has 333 songs all my pictures apps and contacts and there is no way to re copy from the phone back in to i tunes i do not use i cloud becasue (one i do not want to pay for more space) and 2 the free version tells me i do not have enough space to back it up so i am worried one sync i will lose all my info. these songs are from cd's i have and off the Internet before the courts stopped Napster and Lime Wire. Sos what should i do just unstalli tunes and leave my computer as a re charging stastion? or is there any secret way to get all my things back then this time i can make a folder and do it right in case the next time i have to re format my drive from a problems or need to what is the best case here?
Justin

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

I tunes downloads to wrong drive

Hi guys some help please. When I download the latest I tunes 9.1.1 is wants to install to drice "G" which I don't have I want it to download on "C". Any ideas?

Hey there,
One thing you should check is where your iTunes searches for your iTunes folder. Head to iTunes and then Preferences. When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab. Near the top of the tab, you will see where iTunes currently locates your Music folder. Click the Change button and then direct it to where the folder is located on your External drive. See if that helps.

Secure link to I tunes is not working please help

I have been gaining access to I Tunes fine up to last Wednesday. I now cannot access my account on I tunes, I can surf the shop fine and look at it contents fine but as soon as I try to buy anything I can't log in to my account. I cannot even create a new account.
I'm in contact with apple via e mail but everything they suggest just isn't working. Does any one have any ideas of what I can try as I'm at a dead end now and I have credit on my account.
Many Thanks

I found the solution! My WAN setting on my router was set at 1458 and should have been 1400.

I tunes will not open - have read ALOT but still can't get it going

How much is Apple losong out to what appears to be a fairly common but complicated problem. Not sure if it all started the day I upgraded to i-tunes 9 or when I renewed my Norton Anti Virus. It was working for months even when I had Norton which i have since removed using the Norton Removal Tool. When I first click on it it tries to open and I get a message saying that my Quick Time software is outdated but BEFORE I can click on that another box opens over top that says "i-tunes has stopped working" "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close he problem and notify you if a solution is found"
If i try again , nothing happens at all. When I go to processes I can see where it appears briefly maybe 2-3 seconds then disappears.
I have tried:
Making another user account and opening I-tunes
Removing my Norton anti virus
Uninstalling and re-installing i-tunes and quick time both together and separately....many many times
restoring previous version of i-tunes
I get the same message if i try to open just quicktime.
My i -tunes library itself will also not open.
Please tell me where to go from here
I am running a newer (3 months old) HP with Windows 7 64 bit
IDEAS???
Rob.

Excellent news, Rob! Glad you're up and running again.
Any idea as to how it got this way? I am thinking of re-installing my Norton since it has worked well for me for the last few years and I an not exactly sure if that was the problem or if was a Windows 7 thing?
I reckon Norton and Windows 7 were innocent parties here. Some other application dumped a couple of boatloads of QuickTime componentry in your sysWOW64. (Older versions of codec packs, video converter software, other file converter software, and media players that offer the opportunity to use quicktime files "without installing QuickTime" are the usual culprits here, but some games might do this too.) That might go unnoticed so long as that componentry matches the existing version of QuickTime software that you have installed on the PC ... but things turn to custard when you have to update your QuickTime version, and the versions of the componentry in /sysWOW64/ no longer match your "QuickTime proper". (On 32-bit systems, the same sort of thing happens, with the difference being that the "foreign" QuickTime componentry would typically be lurking down in the system32 folder.)
So, we pretty much get cases of this sort of thing showing up constantly at the forums, with a big pulse in reports happening after any QuickTime version update. (It produces a significant proportion of the "iTunes has encountered a problem" and "iTunes has stopped working" messages that we get reported here.) You were really unlucky in that you got a rarer version of the possible error messages ... so there's not as much relevant troubleshooting advice available on the web, which makes researching what could possibly be going wrong for you considerably harder than it is for folk with the more common versions of the error messages.

I have 3 iTunes accounts which I had set up each time I bought a device not realising they all linked up (blonde!!). Can I consolidate them into one account without losing tunes,pics etc??

I have 3 iTunes accounts which I had set up each time I got a new device not realising I should use the same one. Is there a way to consolidate the accounts without losing tunes etc as at the moment my iPad, new iPhone and iPod are all getting different downloads : (

How to use one I-tunes library with multiple windows users (family) on 1 pc

On our family pc we log in with different accounts. We want to use I-Tunes but all have the same library. I tried to create a library not in the users directory, but in the All Users folder that is accessible for everyone. However, when I import the music in the library for one user and set the same location for another user, I-tunes does not recognize the library. So everyone has to create it's own library.
What are the best practices to overcome this?

Keep in mind that what you have done now is you have multiple iTunes libraries accessing the same media folder. Meaning, that each account can have their own ratings, playlists, etc. but more importantly, each account does NOT know what the other account does, so if your daughter adds a CD to her account, it will go into the shared folder, but it will NOT automatically go into your wife's iTunes library. She would have to add it manually. Likewise, if one account deletes music from their library and tells iTunes to remove it to the trash, the other accounts will not know and iTunes will still try to access the file from the shared location even though the file is now trashed.
Each account has their own database files (.itl files in the iTunes folder) which stores this stuff.
If you want to have everyone use the exact same library which means the same ratings, playlists, etc. then you need to move the database files into that same location and set each iTunes account to read the same data.

Hi Francis,
Check the BADI "TRIP_WEB_CHECK" method "USER_CHECK_GENERAL_DATA".
Here based on the schema you can modify the "estimated cost" field.

My family uses a single lap-top as our main internet connection and when we synch our respective I-pods, our I-tunes account seems to wipe-out our playlists, even though we have tried to create separate I-tune accounts. Help!!

My family uses a single lap-top as our home computer and several of us have i-pods that we like to synch, using I-tunes. Although we've tried to create separate I-tune accounts, our i-tunes playlists are getting wiped out when one of us deletes songs on our I-pod and it seems as though I-tunes is not distinguishing our distinct accounts and all i-pods are being synched to reflect the latest i-pod anyone makes on their respective account. It appears as though our distinct I-tune accounts are not being loaded on our lap-top when we sign in and unfortunately, when we're in I-tunes, there is nothing to indicate what account is on the screen. For all the glowing appraisals apple-related products usually receive, we are finding i-tunes and its interface with our respective i-pods to be a very, very frustrating experience.
Can anyone shed some light on this for a family of non-techies? Thx

You need to create separate Windows user accounts if you want to seperate the behaviour of iTunes for each user. That also means separate iTunes libraries for each user.
Windows is a multi-user operating system but you are not using it properly. iTunes is not a multi-user application. No application is. You can't expect it to treat different users differently when they are all using the same computer user account.
Do you understand what I mean?

Is I-tunes 8 to blame?
