Issues with new iTunes and iPod Shuffle:

I just updated my iTunes in a Windows 7 PC and since then I cant sicronize or even restore my iPod Shuffle 3rd gen.
I reinstall every SW recomended from Apple but the problem persists.
After to try restore the iPod SW a new message appears saying that I need to restore the iPod (seems somethig was wrong in first time)..but now iTunes don't recognizes the iPod...
Some suggestion ?

Did you repair permissions with Disk Utility after your upgrade? If not - then repair and see if that helps.

  • Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

    I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

    Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

  • Problems with Downloading iTunes and iPod software to my computer

    Just got my iPod...I continue to get the following error message when trying to download iTunes and iPod software to my computer: "Error 1406, Could not write value InstallDir to key \Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iPod\AppPaths. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key"
    Can anyone shed some light?
    Thanks and Happy New Year!

    This is helpful...thank you. I have learned that I need to acquire administrative privileges in order to install the software, as I am trying to install the software on my company's laptop (don't have a computer at home). Do you know of a way around this?

  • Need help with Itunes and IPod Shuffle

    I have the latest updates for both Itunes and the IPod Shuffle. I have Itunes on two different PCs, one for the wife and one for myself. I got a new Nano and gave my wife the Shuffle I had and she gave her shuffle to a friend. Everything has worked just fine in the past. When she plugged in my shuffle it asked if she wanted to sync to this PCs library and she said yes. Everything went fine except that no files will copy to the shuffle. It seems to take a VERY long time to sync as well. I tried dragging a song or a playlist but it just sits in sync mode for a long time and then when it's done there is no music on the shuffle. I don't understand the problem. When I attach the shuffle to my PC it asks if I want to sync to the library and everything works, files transfer, no problem. Putting back on her PC and going through the resync business again results in the same situation. Help!

    Hello! no, you haven't stumped the pros. This is a user board. No pros here to stump, just volunteers.
    Shuffles are only designed to sync with one PC. Connect it to your PC and restore it to factory settings. Eject it. When your wife connects it to her PC, it should get recognized.

  • Issue with new itunes version

    Dear All,
    i have a really big issue with the new itunes version. I loaded it today. Besides that every single view changed...
    So coming to my issues:
    1. my playlists changed to a status of Middle of 2011
    2. the songs which i loaded since that and are already on my hdd are only available in the icloud... means to listen to it or to put it to a playlist, means that i would have to load the songs again.... which in my case means 660 Songs.... downloading again on my hdd (means roundabout additional 9 GB of data) and last but not least paying for the 9 GB download...
    Is there any chance to link the songs in the playlist again on my hdd, i mean they are still there and i already loaded it down ?!?!?!?!?! In the past it was possible
    Hope somebody can help me... and please apple tune back.... itunes is not an easy to use interface anymore... and honestly after having 3 Ipods, 1 Pad and 2 iphones and von itv, i should think about changes... it is already the second time that Itunes completly destroys my playlists and costs me more money.....
    HELP!!!!!!
    Thax in advance

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and  iPod

    Hello iTunes people.
    I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!
    PROTEUS

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Horrible issues with new iTunes update

    I am having a few issues with the new iTnes update:
    I cannot find a way to view the album artwork in the bottom left-hand corner like I used to. I can't find the option anywhere! I want to see it.
    Some song files have had their song titles, album titles, etc. changed from what I had them listed as. For example, my Footloose file, which used to say the song title was "Footloose" and the album as "Footloose", now shows the song title as "Footloose (from 'Footloose')" and the album title is blank. When I go to try to change it back, it is all greyed out and will not let me change it!
    Song files that I had put in more than one album artwork for, (if the song appeared on more than one album, including greatest hits albums and sountracks) the update now lists them as all individual songs from each one of the albums, so I have tons of repeats. I want it to go back to showing me all the album artwork for ONE file.
    This new update has completely destroyed my iTunes library. I am NOT HAPPY.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

  • Issue with New iTunes

    Unfortunatly, I had to restore my computer. I downloaded the new iTunes after restoring, and now I cannot associate my iPod +Nike with my old account. The new iTunes does not allow it. It will only allow me to create a new account, I do not want to lose my old runs and such though!
    Does anyone know how I can associate my Nike+ account with the new iTunes????

    Ok. I figured it out after my 1st new run. Although iTunes does not let you associate with Nike+ after you install it... after your first new run when you plug in your ipod a dialog will pop up allowing you to associate your iTunes with your account...
    Apple Nota Bene: You should be able to associate it right away ... but it's not a techical "flaw" just a minor inconvienence.

  • When will Apple sort out import issue with new itunes?

    As it says... when will I see "gracenote" syncing, album, track, and cover art etc. when importing?
    Message was edited by: KFF

    My question and concern is related to what you are saying. I am not sure about your exact concern though. I don't really know what gracenotes is.
    My own concern is that I simply cannot find itunes to be functional at all for importing or burning CDs.
    How can this be functional if you can only burn playlists? That decision in the new iTunes may be nice for Apple if they want to sell more media or make it more difficult to easily copy stuff. The problem is that anytime you import a CD, the tracks don't necessarily go into the library perfectly. You alway end up with Duplicates. Why on earth would they make the the one thing that people like to do: drop a CD in and copy it with perfect reproducibility more difficult? If you try this with a mixed CD, it will not only mess up your library temporarily and make you have to corral all of these files just to create a playlist and burn the stupid thing, but it wastes so much time. It can also makes a huge mess with duplicates in your library. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I will never use the most updated version of iTunes again unless there is something I am missing. If anyone knows an easier way to go about this please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

    Since the latest iTunes update,
    1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
    2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing.  I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
    "There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks.

  • Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

    When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod.  Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB.  Nor can I sync purchases or downloads.  Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either.  I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.  For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this.  My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative.  It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes.  Has anyone worked their way around this?

    Hi anne274,
    I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
    Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.
