ITunes 10.2.2 improvement or issue?

Hi, so I installed iTunes 10.2.2 just today and I don't see any improvement. However, I do notice that when I place any song and minimize iTunes to work on something else; each song while playing stops numerous times and continues playing. what gives?

Had a stranger problem with the last update (10.2.2). It showed in my Software update list (Mac OS 10.6.6) so I downloaded it and the install went just fine. After that, I wanted to start iTunes and it tells me I have to install Rosetta to be able to use iTunes ??? I clicked install, the install went fine again and I rebooted my MAc Mini just to be sure. Now here's the weird problems ... I had a message telling me that iTunes can't start because it's broken or missing ??? And when I look at the "packages" in the iTunes application, nothing was there ... I had to download iTunes 10.2.2 from the Apple support website and install it manually. After that, I put the old iTunes in the garbage and started the new one. Everything was fine and all my playlists were still there ... But I still can't understand what went wrong with the update ...
Am I the only one that have faced this problem ?

    My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

  • ITunes 7.5 greatly improves FREEZE, still has bugs.

    I updated to the new iTunes 7.5 this weekend. The biggest problem i've had and noticed that many other users had is the freezing of iTunes everytime a song reaches the 8 or 9 second mark. Well this was a big issue for me because it made it impossible to listen to my iPod on my computer at work. The new version of iTunes has greatly improved the lag. It still locks up and the resources still shoot up to 100%, but not it only lasts a few seconds. It's enough to satisfy me at least for now. I'm not aware of any other bugs that pertain to my use, and i'm still waiting for the new firmware update as well, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
    I would also like to mention that i've updated to 1.0.2 and saw a significant improvement in the iPods menu response, so i don't know why so many people are afraid of the firmware. We're getting there folks, slowly but surely.

    After installing 7.5 yesterday afternoon, I thought the freezing problem was gone. Once I got home and started really working with it, I found that the freeze is still there, but down to 5 seconds or so. That's far better than the 15-20 seconds before, but still not acceptable. I suppose the rest of the fix will take a firmware update. 7.5 still hasn't fixed the slowness of moving playlists into folders. After about 10,000 of them, which can only be moved one at a time, it takes 3 or 4 seconds to move one. I've always synced my iPods manually, but because I can only sync my new iPhone via playlists, I'm having to add all my music to the iTunes library and make a playlist for every album. It's a major pain and I will never understand why iTunes doesn't allow moving more than one playlist at a time.

  • My iTunes library and metadata/ID3 tags issue

    Since 2010, iTunes is the only media player I use to play music. My library consists of music purchased from the iTunes Store, CD rips and stuff many artists these days release as freebies on the internet to promote a new album. Also, M4A and MP3 are the only formats I use so far.
    Since iTunes, I really got into editing my library's metadata tags by hand, in order to create a custom archive which serves my preferences best. I should mention that besides iTunes being the only software I use to play my music library, it's also the only software I use to edit their metadata. Also, before iTunes – when my library was on different media players – I never bothered with editing them.
    A few days ago, I found how a lot of people in forums complain about the way iTunes edits and stores metadata. So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
    Some people were referring to the version of the ID3 tags being the issue, while others suggested using the "convert ID3 tags" feature. I myself am a little bit confused. "Converting the ID3 tags" wasn't available for my M4A files and once I performed it for my MP3's I didn't know which setting I should apply or what version to choose. I chose one version randomly but I'm not sure what happened.
    My goal is to make my music library able to play and display my custom metadata on the majority of the popular media players. I hope that firstly this is possible and that secondly it won't be a solution which requires me going through every single song individually.
    I really hope that all those years work on my library wasn't for nothing.
    I'm using a MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my iTunes version is 10.7
    While my music library is more important that my iTunes version, I do like iTunes 10 more than 11.
    I apologize for any grammar mistakes, since English is not my first language. Thank you all for your time and any suggestion is welcome.

    Hello turingtest2 and thank you for your reply.
    In response to "a possible cause of problems is multiple embedded tags", what exactly does that mean and how can I avoid doing it in the future?
    Anything ripped with iTunes should get a single tag. If multiple tags in some of your older mp3 rips are the cause of the problems when you try to access the files elsewhere then you should apply the suggested remedy selectively, not to the whole library indiscriminately. Once fixed you shouldn't have the problem again unless you use different ripping software. If so check the options to ensure you generate a single ID3v2.3 tag. Downloads from elsewhere are pot luck.
    If I use Convert ID3 Tags>None before converting to v2.3 as you suggested, how many times is "several times" and why do I have to do it more than once? Also, what are your thoughts on 'v2.3 vs. v2.4'?
    Several is at least two, but more could be needed if a file has both v1 and v2 tags in multiple languages. If there are two tags, the first conversion to none should remove the first one, and the second conversion the second. Experiment, And stick to v2.3.
    In response to "the process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows". All fields excluding cover art remain the same? Does that mean that I will have to start from scratch and apply new cover art individually for each album? That would be too time consuming given the fact that I embed custom art.
    Yes, everything but artwork is held in the iTunes database and is restored with the final Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. Use Doug's scripts SaveAlbumArtJpeg before you start and RestoreArtworkFromAlbumFolder afterwards to save and the restore your existing artwork.
    Also, what happens with my M4A files' metadata? ID3 tags are only used for MP3's, right?
    Yes, m4a/aac files have a different tag mechanism. Multiple ID3 tags is just one possible issue that you might have. You said:
    So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
    It might be worth going into some more detail about exactly what differences you noticed. iTunes can automatically associate (instead of embedding) artwork when it can match the album in the store which could be why some tracks didn't get artwork.

  • ITunes update i Cal and other issues

    After updating to iTunes 10.4.1 the other day I can no longer sync my calendar events from my computer to my iPhone.  When I plug in the phone, it takes away all the events in my calendar.  Additionally, the update seems to have created problems with my "Mail" app.  Whereas previous to the update I had two accounts--mine and my wife's--I now have four, and mail is bringing up dozens and dozens of old emails into my new mail box.  Anybody else with the same issues?  Is Apple preparing another update?

    I am also experiencing app freezes, especially with the New York Times app which no longer seems capable of getting through a reading session without two freezes.
    But I also having a lot of app that just quit without warning.
    I hope this is something that is on the To-Do list for iOS 4.2

  • IPhone 3GS 32gb - iOS4.0.1 - iTunes 9.2.1.4 - Sync issues / Set up as new

    Hello.
    I've had issues with my iPhone ever since I upgraded from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS 4 (and subsequently iOS4.0.1), to be more precise, my issues are with syncing my phone.
    When I upgraded to iOS4, I had an error and had to restore my iPhone while upgrading.
    Ever since that happened, every other day when I connect my iPhone to my iTunes, it is not properly recognized and I get the option to set up as new or restore from backup.
    90% of the time, restoring from a backup doesn't work and whether or not it works, afterwards iTunes forgot which apps/music/photos/videos/etc I wanted to sync, which means every time it happens, not only do I lose all SMS messages and App data, I also have to reselect the apps, videos and music I want to sync from scratch.
    It gets annoying now and I've tried several of the common solutions.
    - Uninstall/reinstall of iTunes, making sure I have the most common version.
    - chosing another USB port
    - reset all iPhone settings
    - reset all iPhone settings and wiping the phone content.
    I also cleaned up my App-library in which I noticed I had several duplicate apps ( for example: ExampleApp and ExampleApp.1.0.1 ).
    Nothing works and I'm getting frustrated over it. I don't lose my contacts because of the Outlook sync I have, nor mails because they are an imap account, but having a password-keeping app like 1Password which loses its data every other day is rather annoying.
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Does anyone else experience such issues?
    I cannot make Genius-appointments, as there is no Applestore anywhere near where I live in Germany. I could of course try and contact my phone-company but I am guessing they will direct me at the manufacturer.

    I had the problem where I got an unknown error when upgading from 3.1.3 to 4.0.1 last night. It put my phone into recovery & said that I had to restore it. Tried to twice but I still kept getting the unknown error message. Wasn't until I restarted my computer that it let me restore.
    All of my music, videos, contacts, etc are fine. But I found that none of my apps were restored to the phone. So I had to go back through & manually drag each one back onto the iPhone in iTunes and then re-sync it. But now none of the apps will load or open. I have tried switching the phone off & back on a number of times but it hasn't helped.
    Next I am going to try to restore again & see if that helps. From what I understand, the apps should have also been restored from the previous backup. Am not sure what happened in my case though

  • Windows 7 (64 bit) iTunes 9.2 Outlook 2010 Sync Issues

    I’ve noticed bunch of conversations here about issues with the new version of iTunes NOT syncing with outlook contacts / calendars but none of them seem to be resolved. I also have lost my calendar sync since I installed the new iTunes. I have un-installed / re-installed iTunes, tried creating a new PST file, created a new mail account, tried pretty much everything I can think of and nothing works. I have wasted more than 23 hours of my time playing with trying to fix this and I am getting pretty fed up. My question is has ANYBODY actually made it work. I fear we may be wasting our time meaning that there is a bug that no one at Apple cares to acknowledge. Thoughts?

    Hello,
    I've been searching through the forum, but did not find someone having a real solution in my situation having the problem as described above. I defintly CANNOT delete all my recurrent appointments! I have about 10.000 elements in my Outlook calender, because I'm really using it for planning my whole business day. Isn't there another solution?
    I was syncing my iPad-calender with MS Outlook (2003 SP3) successful during the last days, but "suddenly" (I think, it was after the iTunes Update) the syncing process was silently stopped as beeing successfull, and no appointments were synced anymore.
    I already followed the rules to resetting the syncdata history of iTunes and also forced to overwrite the iPads calender, but it still remains as before.
    Then I decided to delete the calender by stopping the calender syncing, I mean, I deactivated the hook and then iTunes asked, if I will delete all the data on the iPad, where I then agreed to, as you also describe. Then the calender was successfully emptied, but activating it again after syncing, the OLD state is synced back to the iPad and not my currently modified scheduled appointments from Outlook. This is a miracle, because these are old/deleted data!!! It seems the iPad is just doing a "undo".
    I already tried the "Help -> Start diagnosis" feature, this said, everything is fine. So, now I don't know, what to to?! I just want to have my calender synchronized!
    Changing the files "ssleay32.dll" and "libeay32.dll" by updating OpenSSL or copying from the iTunes "http://...\Apple\Mobile Device Support"-Folder did not lead to any changes :-/.
    I'm using iTunes v9.2.1.4, iPad iOS 3.2.1, Outlook 2003 SP3.
    So is there someone having some more ideas or giving me a hint, where I maybe could read somthing about a possible error in a log or something like that? Maybe, only ONE appointment is "ill"; how could I detect it?
    Regards, Andreas

  • Itunes 10.5.3 update radio issue.

    Just had a software update notification for iTunes with the new iBooks stuff in, so I updated it, like you do, and now it continually tries to update radio lists, and keeps throwing up error messages, stopping me from usingTunes.
    Clicking the X in the window to cancel it doesn't work, the only way I can stop the error message is to close iTunes
    the error message says; "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later."
    There's nothing wrong with my internet connection, but it does seem to happen after my iPhone connects via wifi

    I often got this message with 10.2, then I updated to 10.3 today and suddenly I started getting it all the time (several error messages a minute). In another thread on issue, someone recommended disabling Radio in Parental Controls and I did so ~5 minutes ago and it seemed to work. Granted, if you actually use Radio then this isn't a solution, but I never do so I'm happy with this solution.

  • ITunes not responding due to DNS issues?

    iTunes 11.1.0.126 on Windows 7, never had a problem in the past 5 years... iTunes runs 24/7 on this machine. It has been running for days since my last reboot, maybe a week. I was listening to a podcast, then went into the store to search for an artist, clicked on an album, listened to preview, back button, different album, preview, back button, different album, etc then one time when I clicked the back button iTunes became unresponsive until I had to kill it.
    I can no longer open iTunes, it always opens as a transparent window with a border and is immediately "Not responding" in task manager. Same thing happens in safe mode. I tried rebooting too.
    Around this time I started noticing other problems with my internet connection. Seems like my provider is having DNS issues because certain websites hosted on the east coast won't load, but west coast websites will (I am on the west coast). I tried loading these websites on my phone through cell data and they worked, so I figured my provider is having problems.
    Now I'm wondering if iTunes calls home or tries to make some sort of connection when it loads, regardless of safe mode or not, and this causes the application to hang immediately. Does anyone know anything about this, or how I might be able to get the iTunes application to run again?

    Well, it wasn't a DNS issue, it was a routing issue that affected ISP customers in half of the country. https://community.shaw.ca/thread/9284?start=0&tstart=0
    I can confirm that iTunes will now open and is functional. It seems that if the application can't access some internet resource immediately when it launches it will immediately lock up and never come back! No offline mode??!?!

  • Itunes 12.0.1 home sharing issues

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone else was having problems with home sharing and iTunes 12.0.1?
    My whole house pivots around home sharing, so this was a bit annoying when I couldn't get it to work after installing Yosemite and itunes 12.0.1.  I have apple TV, iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1), iPhone 6 (iOS 8.2) and MacBook Air (OS X).  First noticed this on my iphone 6 trying to play a song from the Mac and I couldn't see the library.  I tried the iPhone 5, couldn't see it as well.  But the apple TV I could see 2 libraries on my Mac (both the same name).  Eventually after turning off and back on home sharing on the iPhones, nothing happened, I could use the remote app to change the TV.  I could even see the Mac library on the phones but, it kept saying I couldn't get access to it.
    I quit itunes.  At this point I then lost the ability for Apple TV to gain access to my Mac's home sharing.  Again 2 were being shown, and neither worked.  iPhones still not working.
    Then I did an AirPlay from the Mac to the TV and it sprung into life.  TV works and both iPhones, I can see the shared folder in the More section in Music App, wasn't there before.  Also can see the Shared folder in movies, which wasn't there before.
    If there is a better way of getting this to work, it would be nice to know.

  • ITunes media folder on external HD issue...

    So I have a quick question...
    I've been using my external HD to house my iTunes library for over a year now. No issues, it's been working great. When I add new music to my library on my computer, it copies the files to my HD, or just reorganizes the files that are there.
    Now.. suddenly.. it's having issues.
    I tried clearing out the library on my computer to reimport some key albums I wanted. I notice now that my iTunes is creating a second Music folder inside my already designated Music folder to place the folders... it's now moving all the albums I import from one directory to the other, and I can't figure out how to make it stop.
    I've already made sure the iTunes Music folder on my computer is empty, and I've changed the designated iTunes Media folder several times, working fine, then putting it back to External HD > Music .... and it decides no music shall be placed here.
    For easy reference, it's creating a path like this: External HD > Music > Music
    Eh? Help is appreciated... Thank you guys.

    I've been using my external HD to house my iTunes library for over a year now.
    I tried clearing out the library on my computer
    I thought you just said the library was on your external drive.  What's iTunes doing putting things on your computer?
    How exactly did you do this move in the first place a year ago?  What was it you did recently as part of this cleaning?  I strongly suspect that's where things went wrong (maybe at both stages).
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick procedure if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    If you did the move using just preferences settings then you did not move the whole library, you only told iTunes where to start storing future media.

  • ITunes 7.1 causes DVD drive issue?

    I upgraded to 7.1, after which my computer stopped recognizing my DVD drive. Updating drivers did nothing, so after much frustration I rolled back to a checkpoint established before I installed iTunes and the drive works again!!! Anyone else have a similar problem???

    I upgraded to 7.1, after which my computer stopped recognizing my DVD drive.
    usually, that sort of thing is associated with a device filter conflict in the registry. (although it usually doesn't hit Toshibas ... Packard Bells from the UK are most commonly hit by it.)
    the following document may be of some help with that:

  • ITunes authorization and song selection/playback issues

    I use my computer (macbook air) and iTunes for work (I am an itinerant elem. music teacher).  The computer does not have a disc drive, so I import music from CDs and use iTunes match to transfer tracks to my laptop or iPod. 
    I'm having a few issues with iTunes (11.0.5) that have been occuring recently.
    1) I play a song from a playlist with no issues, then play the same song later (sometimes just minutes later) and receive a prompt saying I am not authorized on this computer to play that song and that song only.  Entering my ID and password gets rid of the prompt, but causes iTunes to freeze (I usually force quit and restart the program, which sometimes fixes the problem and sometimes doesn't).  I use iTunes match on this computer, but it still allows me to play other songs from the cloud while one song has authorization issues.
    2) When searching for a song using the iTunes search bar I used to be able to double click on the matching items without pressing enter (as I type in the search query it brings up options, which I can then double-click to play without completing the search).  Lately, when double-clicking on those songs they either don't play at all, or an entirely different piece of music will play.  If I click again it will cycle to another (also wrong) piece of music.  Despite what I type in the search, the songs that play when I click are songs with trumpet in the title somewhere, with the exception of one song, which is a trumpet sonata but does not say trumpet in the title or description.  When I drag the song from the search menu to a playlist and click on it the correct song will play. 
    3) Some songs will refuse to play (iTunes claims that it is unable to find these songs).  I usually re-import from a CD when this occurs, which usually fixes the problem, but sometimes not.
    4) Some songs were imported but do not exist in my library.  Most of these songs are accompaniment versions of other songs (background track only, with no vocals).  They have the same title as their counterpart, with "acc" added at the end.  At first I thought I simply neglected to import these tracks, but when I try to import just the ones I need they still disappear and I am unable to search for them by title (using the search bar) or by looking up their album.
    5) Itunes will sometimes be unable to access tracks stored in the cloud, despite the computer having a strong internet connection.  I can download songs from the cloud using iTunes match, but this becomes problematic as I use more songs than I have room for on this (school-issued) computer.  I really don't want to spend time downloading and subsequently deleting files every week.

    my home computer, where my library is stored, is running XP and it is not compatible with iMatch!
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/:
    iTunes 10.5 system requirements, Windows
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7
    I'm not sure how you're testing this with iMatch since Apple's site says it is not available yet, and there's no mention of any different system requirements (or any system requirements for that matter).
    I don't know about the mp3 problem.  It might help if you provided a link to specific examples others could test.  I would think if this was a common issue with old mp3s there would have been 100,000 posts in this thread since it was started a month ago.
