Is iTunes broken in iOS 5.1.1?
Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 I have been having problems with iTunes.
The app is extremely slow, taking ages to load pages and it's all-but-impossible to synchronize and update podcast feeds.
Is there an acknowledged issue with this and is Apple working to fix it?
Is there a work-around (e.g. downgrading back to iOS 5.1)?
I had the exact same problem.
Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out.
Then Sign back in using Exisiting Apple ID.
Strange I know, but it fixed my problem.

AirPlay broken after upgrade to iTunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3
Hi,
Upgraded to itunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3 and AirPlay has now broken. I have never had any issues before with AirPlay (in nearly two years.)
i can only get the AirPlay icon to appear in iphone 6 control centre if I reset my router (HH3). Icon disappears overnight however.
Icon is also missing completely from iTunes. This is permanent.
I have tried everything. factory reset my router, powered down all devices inc iPhone 6 (and reset all network settings) and repaired my power line adapters but I can't get AirPlay to work at all using my Pc.
Help!
THanks!Ps I should clarify that I updated to iTunes 12.1

ITunes Match and playlists broken in iOS 8
Since updating to iOS 8 I can no longer add songs to playlists from my phone (I have iTunes match). When attempting to add a song sometimes it gets stuck in the add screen and does not show a "done" button to press or if I add one, it just doesn't add it to the playlist. I can however add songs to the playlist from my mac and it will show up on my phone like normal, just unable to add from my phone.
Other iTunes or music app issues are songs not showing up where they should. I had a song that downloaded from a pre-order, I changed the genre to one of the main genre's I use (like normal), added it to a playlist, and now that the entire album has become available and has downloaded the first track is not able to be found through either genre (either original or my own altered genre) or artist although it still shows up on the playlist.
One more thing about adding songs to a playlist on iOS. I was glad to see that one of the buttons on the bottom (in the add screen) is playlists now as an option to add a song but if you edit the buttons on the bottom and move genre down there, it doesn't stay put. It's back on the "more" screen each time.
Here's a suggestion to any apple folks if they're reading this, besides fixing the things above, how about from the song playing screen when you press the + button that an option is to "add to playlist". When you click on that it brings you to your playlist view to select a playlist. It's a pain in the butt when say you're listening to a song on shuffle, want to add said song to a playlist so you have to back out of the song playing screen, find the playlist (for which I have multiple layers due to playlist folders) click the add button, find the song (after you move genre to the bottom again) then click on the plus sign, hit done, make sure it took it, back out of the playlist view to get back to Now Playing. For people like me who take advantage of iTunes Match and have a lot of music in their libaray, Genre and playlists are the easiest and quickest ways to find what I want to listen to and at times it's not very efficient.
Thanks for your considerations and eventual fixes.iTunes Match has this problem with almost every iPhone software update. It's unfortunate that they cannot track down the issue. Hopefully this is not indicative of Apple's expertise when it comes to all cloud services. Music, photos and personal data are things that are important to all of us and we spend many hours on custom playlists, personal photo albums and are putting our trust that the work won't just disappear. iCloud drive is another promised feature and it's becoming tougher to trust a new free service when long-standing issues on a paid service cannot be fixed. I want to remain optimistic but so far, iTunes Match is not helping.
On a positive note, the playlists on my Apple TV matches perfectly with my iMac and was working well on my iPhone 5S. The update to iOS 8 on the 5S did NOT cause the playlists to go out of order. I have only seen this issue on new iPhone 6's and iOS 8. Also, moving playlists in and out of folders in iTunes on a Mac seems to be a temporary fix that only lasts as long as you are logged in – Signing out of iTunes Match on iOS and signing back in brings back the problem… which *****.

Are some apps just not compatible with iTunes 10.5/iOS 5.0?
Seems some apps on my iPod, conflict with iTunes 10.5.
I started having the Store issue, which ALWAYS showed and worked, never had trouble accessing, never got a blank page... that started happening.
(I think live search when typing is a bad idea)
I had added back a few, by download and via iTunes, but next time I connected iPod, there was problem with iPod showing as a device, and with iTunes Store.
Removed the 4 apps I had added/reinstalled, and now back to normal.
Skype, RockMelt, iCab Mobile, Reeder, Transphotos
I don't know if it was the combination or if it was Skype or photo retouch/editing or one of the others.
I use to have 4.1GB "Other" also and that is now a more comfortable 1.1GB of space.
NY Times "newstand" would not work on 4.3.5, or would but could not by synched, could not be moved to another iPod screen. So basically broken and may have led to other problems. These apps that work with iOS 5 but are not backward compatible, or the reverse situation, they aren't really 5.0 compatible.
For me, I have to wait for Windows and iTunes to settle down, then connect iPod only. And when the iPod device would "vanish". Now where are the "dot one" patched bug-fix verfsions?
And for those still on 4.3.5 and earlier, where is the means to keep and not update to a new version believing it will be backward compatible (and maybe the specs said "iOS 4+" when it should say it reqquires "Newstand and iOS 5+".Mounting a device in iTunes 10.5 with some incompatible apps will cause the device to unmount (disappear) from iTunes. Remove the offending app from the device before you next connect to iTunes and should now mount and stay mounted. Restart AMS if needed.
New app that I put on iPhone will cause this. iPhone no longer shows in iTunes: Devices.
click on "Devices" in iTunes
drop down list of categories
Suggest for features:
Keep prior version in iTunes backup library
Version, when installed or updated
When in Apps, have option to go to product page directly. Easier and more likely to provide feedback.
When in iTunes Store and in Apps, search would by default look first and foremost in App Store section.
iTunes Store Category: iOS 5 Apps.
Some are iOS 5 only and not backward compatible.
Those should not be offered.
Some say that they are iOS 4.x and later but are no longer.
NYTimes now requires Newstand and 5.0 (I wrote and don't think they tested or were aware it wasn't backward or would not synch under iTunes 10.5). Was the prime reason I even upgraded to iOS 5, too! ouch. iTunes 10.5 as tested vs as it actually is - differed and has significant impact. So give developers more access & time to test and certify against 10.5 before offering iOS 5. Why the rush instead of have a smoother rollout? it gets old afterawhile and looks rushed.
For now, be careful. It is hard to know what is compatible, and what to avoid even now, or especially now with the updates from Friday 28th.
Uninstalling an app may be one way to "troubleshoot" but that also removes settings, and requires more work to authorize, customize, and setup again.
Where is chkdsk for iOS?
Last, does an app crashing or freezing corrupt the settings? the app itself? memory? leave behind "other" storage addresses that can't be used until fixed by remvoing and restoring not just app, but everything? -
i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...any ideas what's wrong?
Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod

I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years. My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too? Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELPJust to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

Home sharing with iTunes 10.7, iOS 6 and A-tv 5.1.1 fixed
I have finally resolved all the issues I was having with home sharing after installing iTunes 10.7, iOS 6, and Apple TV 5.1.1. Everything with home sharing was failing; movies would never load, music would start plaing but then start buffering. None of my Apple devices were working. I have been trying to resolve this for weeks now. My solution was the 5 GHz WiFi on a Linksys E3200. I disabled the the 5 GHz and everything started working. I the went through every wireless setting but nothing worked with the 5 GHz turned on.
I hope this helps,
LazI just don't understand why it's so hard for all of us to acknowledge the simple fact that Home Share (and Match) simply don't work. They don't, that's all. Apple is great for hardware, but lousy on software (see also me.com, Final Cut, etc.)
Why in the world should I spend my time trying to fix something that someone else has made, without gettin paid, when the same team who created it isn't able to fix it? I just don't understand.
Every few days somebody comes up with a fix for Home Share, only to repost a few days later with a "wrong, it stopped working again".
I really don't mean to be offensive, and I really appreciate other fellow's hints and helps in this forum,I try to give my help as well when I know of a solution, but when it doesn't work we should just drop it. iTunes is a lost case, sadly.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?
I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view. -

A solution for idevice not detected/synced with itunes (11.3 ios 7.1.2 also here)
hello !
-the problem i had :
all perfect, but since last itunes my iphone 5s was not detected anymore by itunes 11.3 or 2 (who cares... but me)
updated my ios to 7.1.2 then tryied again to sync WIFI-USB to iTunes... => fail !
(i thinked about wiaitng for a next itunes and/or ios from apple to fix that... but i wanted to fix fastler.)
(Probelms some have : they reboot their iphone with "connect to itunes" coz their iphone want to be "RESTOREd" on tiunes when plugged... => THERe NO MIRACLES for that... wait ios update n/or itunes update so..)
ALWAYS SAVE YOUR idevice USING ICLOUD !!!! IT SAVES ... ALL !! (includings apps data, but the apps themselves ! USE IT ! i done this...)
-a Fix i have done that worked perfect for me :
my iphone so was working perfect after ios 7.1.2 update but could not sync...
so i activated icloud sync on it .... used the "sync to icloud - SAVe NOW" ....
and...
(crossing fingers..)
i restored my idevice !
(/!\ SINCE my iPhone 3G 16 Mb i never had any problems... or just a bit but always tried to solve by using google or YAHOO..)
so i restored ALL my iphone LIKE AS LAST STATE ! (i had just to DL all apps, but it's automatik....)
games saves, apps saves ? (probly too... will test...), all photos docs etc.... where on icloud it was just 1,2 Gb data (not including apps again.)
-iTunes was not detecting my iDevice (iphone 5s) :
for this i searched (hadly) on this forum... and found this solution that worked for me :
(Itunes can't recognize my IPhone ) <- click topik link
if i remember well ... (i am on PC win 8.1 x64 bits) ...
you must desinstalle :
"APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE", "iTUNES" and "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" and (.... 30 sec plz...) .. and " APPPLE application support" also...
(not sure but check this link just up here ^ ....)
voilà...
->
THINK ALSO, YOUR iDEVICE USB CABLE MUST BE "CERTIFIED FOR APPLE" .... i bought a chineze cable for 5 € did not worked...
i bought a "BELKIN" on Amazon it works flawless... (coz it's certified apple, even it's not an apple... but solid one)
->
don't forget to reboot your system before relaunching the itunes if u need reboot...
i hope i helped somes here...
iDevice are REALLY NICE i love them but sometyimes they caprices.... (sciences is unperfect)...
-> dont let it down (this topik) this can serves... well !
peace...ALWAYS SAVE YOUR idevice USING ICLOUD !!!! IT SAVES ... ALL !! (includings apps data, but the apps themselves ! USE IT ! i done this...)

I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?
Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.>All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store. -
Do I have to store all of my iTunes on each iOS device I have or can I share
Instead of having all my music on my iPhone, iPad and iMac which takes 6gb of storage can I use one device or do I have to use I match and pay for the privilege?
You should be able to use the share feature if you have home sharing turned on, on your Mac but you must be signed into iTunes on your iOS device I believe also.

Can I use iTunes to download iOS 8.0.2 once and then install on multiple new iPhone 5S we have at work?
Our 30 new iPhone 5S came with iOS 7.1.1.The fact that the OS requires 3.8GB of storage is ridiculous to begin with. Especially when they know there are a ton of 16GB models out there. Clearly another big brother attempt by Apple to force new iPhone sales which amazes me beyond description. If I experience pain with a product, I'm not going to buy another one and "hope" the problems go away. I'm going to buy a competitor's product. Apparently the lemmings keep following the herd or Apple couldn't continue these strong arm tactics. I'll stay on iOS 6.x until I'm ready for a new phone then...by another manufacturer.
