Issues after iTunes upgrade to 8.1

I had my ipod plugged into my pc to charge it and shop in iTunes,I got a prompt to upgrade iTunes. So I started the upgrade,my iTune screen disappeared and my ipod showed a pic of the power plug and saying
Connected
Eject before disconncting
I figure I should also state I had to do a system restore on my pc as after I restarted my pc like it said to, my pc crashed.
So, anywho, What I want to know is it safe to unplug the ipod without ejecting it as I can not open iTunes as I keep getting this error when I click on the iTune icon?:
ITUNES!
The file"iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was
created by a newer version of iTunes.
How do I fix these issues?

Normally, you would recover the Library metadata from your backups of the database files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml). Or from specific XML files with archived Ratings &/or Playlists.
If you have a previous iTunes Music Library.xml file from before your upgrade, you may be able to 'Import' it into iTunes and recreate some of your metadata.
You may get lucky if you have a folder named 'Previous iTunes Libraries' located under the main iTunes folder. iTunes will make a copy of the ITL file prior to starting an upgrade. You may be able to use one of these to 'recreate' your Library as it was just before your last upgrade. From there, you may be able to just use it, or at least capture your metadata via some javscript apps.
When you finally recover or rebuild your Library, invest some time in performing periodic Complete Backup of iTunes. Usually a very good thing to do prior to any upgrade of iTunes, or whenever you have materially changed your Library.
Best of Luck

  • IPhone syncing issues after iTunes upgrade

    Hi
    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 for Mac. During the install I got a kernel panic and had to restart. iTunes seems to be installed fine. When I connect my iPhone I get messages like "some content will not be copied to the iPhone as this computer is not authorized" or such like. So now several apps, videos and music has been wiped from the iPhone.
    I tried authorizing the computer but I just get "This computer is already authorized".
    there does not seem to be any particular link between the erased content. Some was purchased on the Mac and some on the iPhone, all from the iTunes store. Before I updated iTunes everything synced fine.
    I can d/l the apps again direct to the iPhone but I can't find a way to get the missing music and videos back on the iPhone. Very annoying.
    Would re-installing iTunes help?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Try highlighting the one of the songs that will not sync in iTunes> cilck File> Get Info, check the account name and verifying you are authorizing the computer with correct account.
    If the issue persists, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    If you still see the issue after removing the SC Info folder, try reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • Performance issues after iOS4 upgrade

    hello everyone,
    I had notices few issues after I upgraded my iPhone 3GS:

    2- The resolustion has decreased big time after the upgrade. Now the photos are shown in less resolution and they look hazy.
    3- my Ipod is not working.
    4- I could not restore my device via the itune.
    my big question is there a real tangible benifit for this new upgrade?
    I really appreciate if you can help me soon
    thanks.

  • MacBookPro boot issue after iTunes update

    MackBook Pro showing disc utility after iTunes Upgrade. Instead of restart, I am seeing disc utility.I am not sure if my data is safe if I choose reinstall option. Does it reinstall OS without touching data?

    Sorry for the late update.
    The issue was with the McAfee encryption agent. If you have it on your MacBook Pro and by any chance you need to reinstall/ upgrade the OS, it will not allow it. I was stuck in the situation where it prevented any re-installation or roll back. The issue was solved only when I could get the HD decrypted by McAfee support and uninstall the agent through their experts. Only when the agent was removed, I could upgrade the OS.
    Thank you Gnomish8 for your response.
    Thanks,

  • TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

    After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

    I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
    Here's the details:
    I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
    I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
    AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
    Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
    I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
    Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return. 
    Both have latest software downloads.
    I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
    I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
    One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
    Have you ever wronged a two year old?
    It is NOT pretty.
    Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

  • Performance Issues after an Upgrade

    Hello!
    We are experiencing performance issues after we upgraded to a new version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1). At this point, I am not too sure about the actual causes for this degrade in performance but I am trying to narrow down the causes and need your inputs. Please help me with your ideas.
    1) What could be the causes/factors for the performance to degrade after an upgrade?
    2) Does the performance of a script depend on the user credentials i.e. who is launching the script? Whether it’s the super admin of the application/application owner or an application specific admin?
    3) Does the performance of the scripts depend on the place you are launching it from? For example - will the performance differ if it’s launched from MaxL Vs EAS?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this.
    Thanks,
    - Krrish

  • Phone frozen after itunes upgrade

    Ran the itunes upgrade today. My phone was connected to the computer at the time. Got a text message during the intall and called a friend. Phone has been frozen ever since. Tried to do a restore but cannot. Get an error saying the phone is in "recovery mode". When I run the restore get an "unknown error" message. The only thing that is visible on my screen is the itune logo and the usb cable, suggesting I should connect the phone to itunes. Followed all the suggestion to restore on two computers and no dice! What up Apple?!

    if you have taken back up of the iphone before you attempted software update, then yuor photoes are already in itunes as back up. After getting it jailbroken, i synced my phone with itunes and got all the data, including games, data, emails and everything from itunes.
    So iOS 6 has issues with software, rather i feel apple has done it with an intention so that people can replace the same handset for USD 200.
    hi Apple team, please dont penalise customer for bugs in your software. There are millions you trust you as company of repute, I am unfortuanetly happy after jailbreaking iphone 3GS.

  • Music Gone from 1st Gen Apple TV after iTunes upgrade to 10.1.1 (4)

    I use a 1st Gen Apple TV to store and play all my music throughout my home. It's perfect for that because I don't have to stream from my computer (as with 2nd Gen Apple TV) and can control the music from all over the house from the Remote App on my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1 this week I synced my Apple TV with my computer to add some new music to it from iTunes. All of my music promptly disappeared from my Apple TV. It may have still been there, but didn't show in iTunes on my computer or on my iPad or iPhone remote apps.
    My first thought was that I might have to do a restore on the Apple TV and then re-sync with my computer's iTunes. Before doing that, however, I simply re-synced all of my music to the Apple TV from my computer. It worked and now all of the music is available again.

    had the same problem once
    went to the appletv's settings and unlinked it with the computer
    let it do it's restart and clear synced data
    set it up to link with the same computer once more
    and let it sync the data once more
    haven't have issues since
    but described the solution to many in this forum who had the same issue

  • OS-X won't restart after iTunes upgrade

    Installed the upgrade of iTunes and QT7 last night and now on re boot my system freezes while in the "loading OSX" screen (reminiscent of Windows blue screen of death >:O), and I have to hold to power button to shutdown the system.
    Haven't seen anyone else experiencing this issue yet with the iTunes upgrade.....suggestions?

    Grant,
    Initially this didn't work (at least not by itself).
    Disk repair came back with no errors, with repair permissions reporting several. Upon re-booting, the system froze at the same spot and had to be hard booted to get out of its' locked state.
    I had read other threads about people not being able to re-boot after upgrading iTunes, if they had USB peripherals attached. I figured WTH, and disconnected everything but Mouse and Keyboard and did another re-boot and "Whalla!".
    I have yet to try it again with all my "stuff" connected to the iMac, so it still is unclear if the disk utilities took care of the problem, or if it was unplugging some of the devices connected. I'll test that this weekend when I have time to trouble shoot the system if it crashes again.
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Smart Playlist problems after iTunes upgrade 10.6.1.7

    Hi, I updated my version of iTunes to 10.6.1.7 and since then my smart playlists are not syncing to my iPhone properly. The selection of songs is scrambled, and so I have a variety of my top rated, audiobooks and other random songs. I have tried removing and resyncing the smart playlists to my iphone, but this has the same outcome. Also, the sync doesn't complete all stages so I end up with roughly half of my music from my smart playlist on my iPhone.
    Not sure if this is an iTunes problem or iPhone problem, but it definitely only started after I upgraded iTunes.
    Any others out there with the same issue or any suggestions?

    Yepper.. got the same issue.. it is not sync'ing my Itunes play lists to my I pod touch.

  • After iTunes upgrade, calendar and bookmarks no longer update during sync

    After completing the most recent iTunes upgrade, my phone will complete a backup and seems to go through the sync process. However, the calendar items and bookmarks will not update with any changes that were applied in Outlook or Internet Explorer. Also, previously, I would receive a "syncing calendar" message (or something similar) during the process, and that no longer occurs.

    same problem here after itunes 9.1 update. seems to be a common problem:

  • Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

    After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad.  Previously, I had no problem.  I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
    I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

  • IWeb not opening after iTunes Upgrade

    This evening I downloaded the update for iTunes, now 8.2.1 (6), and since then I have been unable to open iWeb using either the application shortcut in the Dock or via Finder. The iWeb toolbar appears but attempting to click on any of the menu items simply produces the multi-coloured wheel.
    Before the iTunes upgrade was installed I had never had a problem with iWeb or any of the other applications.

    iTunes is the biggest pain on a Mac and I have it set not to open! I haven't updated for so long that I can't remember if a restart is required.
    If you didn't do a restart after upgrading, follow the steps under "Fix iWeb" here...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
    I always restart after updating any Apple software and do it at least a couple of times a week and then run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Macs are fairly bomb proof but they do need routine maintenance. I run an weekly incremental backup to a bootable external firewire hard drive every week using Super Duper. This application automatically repairs permissions and then I do a restart.
    Time machine makes us lazy in this respect!

  • 'Lost' media After ITunes Upgrade

    Hi - I have an older computer and have saved my ITunes library to an external harddrive owing to capacity limitations on my system. I recently updated ITunes to the latest version and it changed the media file location back to the main unit C:Drive, from the external F:Drive I was using. I did not notice this for a while, until updating my iPhone it said lots of files were unlocated. Anything downloaded or added after the upgrade is fine, but all material (95%) from before is stuck on the external drive. I need to get all the new stuff onto the external drive and then run that as my media file location.
    Please help an absolute computer duffer learn what to do!

    If you read through the original thread that I linked to I mention that there might be a problem with the way the script generates the File Open dialog box. I don't have a Vista/Windows 7 system but hopefully I've now updated the script in a way which is supposed to work on Vista/Win 7 (but which I can't test on XP) and trapped the error so that if a file browse dialog isn't generated you get a file path to edit.
    You can correct the location of the media path in *Edit > Preferences > Advanced*. If your media is already/still there in the standard iTunes folders then iTunes may even reconnect to it automatically.
    If not then my script should help. It first tries to establish the proper location of your iTunes Media folder by scanning up to 100 files for ones that can be located and derives the path to the media folder from the location of the file. When I have time this could be updated to prompt the user if the automated scan is unable to work it out.
    The script then processes the selected tracks or playlist, and for those files that can't currently be located by iTunes attempts to track them down at *<iTunes Media Folder>\<Media Type>\<Album Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<ext>*. If it finds a file at the expected location it will either reconnect iTunes to it automaticaly or will prompt for confirmation depending on your initial choice when you run the script.
    If it still can't find the file it will attempt to get you to browse for it or edit it's current best guess.
    As a rule don't move any files by hand. iTunes only gets confused. Once iTunes "knows" where all your files are you can consolidate to your chosen media folder, which copies anything currently outside of the iTunes media folder inside it. You can delete the original copies that are outside of the iTunes Media folder, e.g. on a differnt drive, once you've confirmed that all is well.
