Is the latest version of iTunes 11 causing slower downloads?
I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes 11. I am running it on Windows XP. Recently, I upgraded my internet to 20 mbps. However, I am finding that downloading my movie and music purchases extremely slow. To download a 1 GB movie takes more than an hour. This is way too long. Anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's a coincidence that after I downloaded iTunes 11 I started getting SUPER SLOW movie rental downloads. I'm on a Mac Mini (mid-2010) running the latest OS X which I use as my Home Theater PC. Our routine is pizza, wine and movie night on Friday. My point being that we rent a movie about once a week from iTunes. Before iTunes 11 the movie was ready to watch in just a minute or two and we could play without interruption.
Now it's taking well over 24 hours. + I'm getting the notice that says the movie is ready to watch but it really isn't. So it isn't just a download speed issue I suspect - but a bug introduced in iTunes 11.
This happened last week with Resident Evil: Retribution and now last night with TED. Both in HD. I still haven't been able to watch more than the first few minutes of TED now 12 hours later. And I have no idea how the 24 hour rental period will factor into this. Will my rental period expire before the freaking movie is finished downloading?
Also, I've downloaded a couple of albums in the past week and they've zipped along as usual.

Why is the latest version of Itunes causing my firefox 9 to crash?
My firefox 9, which i love btw, started randomly crashing on me very often. I read in a thread online that ppl have fixed this problem by ininstalling Quicktunes or Itunes. I did just that (uninstalled the latest Itunes update version 10.5.02) and my firefox stopped crashing. I don't like Itunes as it is, only use it because i have ipod, but the latest version seems to have glitches or flaws or smth. Going back to the older version.
You are not having my exact same problem, but try this:
1. Browse to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming" in Windows Explorer.
2. Rename the "Apple Computer" folder to "Apple Computer-old".
3. Start iTunes
4. Close iTunes
5. Copy the file "iTunesPrefs.xml" from "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
6. Paste the old "iTunesPrefs.xml" into the new "Apple Computer\iTunes" folder iTunes just created (not the one you renamed) under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
7. Overwrite the new iTunesPrefs.xml with your old copy of the file.
If you don't care about losing your iTunes preferences then you can just do step 2. You can always go back and grab things from the old folder later if you realize you wanted to have your EQ settings, individual track gains, etc... -
I didn't really care about not connecting to the Apple store, I wasn't buying anything, but now it does not recognize my Ipad, Iphone or Ipod to sync wirelessly. I had to go to work, didn't feel like dealing with it, but I'm thinking the update might have done something. I know this is not a Windows forum, but the last time, it managed to disable me from the internet (Mcafee was blocking everything). I am thinking this is along those lines. Do you think it would help to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall it? That or i just try again tonight, sometimes things have a way of working themselves out. The other thing is that I was not able to download any new podcasts today. Thanks for any help!
I just realized that part of my post got cut off. There was a message that i could not connect to the Apple store (and my genius stopped running).

rigght after i got the ios 7 update i noticed everything from my icloud was on my phone i dont want all that stuff on here so i plugged it into my computer and its saying that i need the latest version of itunes i have downloaded it twice and i am still getting the same error message. So my question is how am i supposed to download the latest version of itunes if its not working. it says for a Windows computer the update is 11.0.5 but i need 11.1 what am i supposed to do ?
you dont need computer. go to settings > icloud and turn off what you dont want like photostream/calendars/contacts. for itunes 11.1 you need to go to itunes.com and download it then install it.

The latest version of iTunes com addin for outlook cause outlook to hang when exiting
iTunes Version 11.0.0.163 com addin for Outlook causes Outlook 2003 used on a Windows XP machine to not close when exiting. I have verified via the Task Manager that it Outlook does not close. I have gone into Outlook and disabled the addin and Outlook closes properly. Enable it again and Outlook once again does not close. This did not start hapening until I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. I have both an iPhone and iPad that I need to keep synced with my Outlook calendars, contacts and notes.
How do I get in touch with someone at Apple to report this. I have been all over their website, but cannot seem to find any email or phone number to report software bugs.Hey Gambitv,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues downloading and installing iTunes. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:

Update to iOS 4 states "You have the latest version of iTunes"
When syncing my iTouch 2nd Gen 16GB via iTunes, the Summary page tells me to click Update to instal iOS 4, but when clicking on Update I only get a message telling me that I have the latest version of iTunes... which I know already!
However, having scanned the discussions on iSO 4, I get the impression that it is causing more problems than benefits, so it may be better to wait until the kinks are sorted, especially for the more mature status of the venerable 2nd Gen???
If not, how do I get Update to actually update to iOS 4, please?Yes, it was very early Sorry to keep you waiting.
Okay, so on your summary page, there is a button "Check for Update". If it is not visible, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes i.e *iTunes 9.2.1.5*
Go to the Apple Software Update in the Windows Start Menu or in the Macintosh Finder in 'Applications'.
Yes, there are some problems with iOS4 and 2nd Gen iPod Touch, as the processor is not fully compatible with the software and operation becomes a little slower and often, customers and owners of 2nd Gen complain that their device CAN handle the features that iOS4 offers the newer generation of iPod, but are not able to, hence why they turn to jailbreaking to enable such features. -
Unable to download the latest version of itunes (11.1) for windows 7
I have tried to sync some recently downloaded songs to my phone. However when I plug in my phone it pops up that it is unable to recognise the phone because I don't have the latest version of iTunes (11.1), I think this is linked to the fact that I have recently completed the software update for the Iphone and got the iOS7 software update. When I go to download the new version of iTunes It gets to a certain point and stops, telling me that the feature I am trying to use in on a networ resource that in unavailable. It then asks me to enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi'. I have searched through my folders on my laptop and cannot find anything that works. Once I cancel the pop up it says that the old version of iTunes cannot be removed.I have also restarted my laptop but it didnt change the problem, if anyone has any clues as to what this could be I would be very grateful for the help!
ThanksHello Slm7531,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like this iTunes msi file is causing some issues with installing the new version of iTunes.

I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?
I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it. MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs...
Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Since downloading the latest version of iTunes my iPhone 4 is not recoginized
Hi, I don't know if this will help you but I have both an iPhone 4 and a iPhone 6 that would not work. In my case the latest version of iTunes is 12.01.035. I remembered having a similar problem on Windows 7/64 bit a while back and decided to reboot my computer go into the bios and basically disabled a bios setting called Intel xHCI Mode. This flag in the bios is used to turn off the USB 3.0 controllers. As soon I did that, and saved my system booted fine and it noticed both phones just fine. I tested this several more time on my system which is still fairly new having been build from scratch last last year. Each time when I turned USB3.0 back on, iTunes and Windows 7 for that matter would not notice my phones. If you do a search on that bios setting you will find the USB 3.0 has caused problems with many of the older device drivers and technology.

I backed up my movies and rebuild my computer, and after making sure i'm using the latest version of itunes and quicktime and and making sure i still had spare computer authorizations, i still get error 23132. Please help.
I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole. -
I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable. If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly. I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
Options?Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)? -
I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..
The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.) -
