ITunes 11 buggy with a fringe on top
iTunes 11 has been a disappointingly buggy release. In particular, I've had a lot of problems with both iTunes Match -- a service that, hey, I pay extra money to Apple for, which means it should work faultlessly -- and Smart Playlists. New Smart Playlists would not populate; old Smart Playlists that I count on completely disappeared. Or, rather, the Smart Playlists were there -- they just became depopulated and useless. In the past hour and a half of trying to get things to work and searching these forums for an answer, I mainly heard a host of similar complaints dating back to the iTunes 11's release, with no response at all from Apple about these problems.
In the meantime, at one point the only playlist I had that was populated was the one containing the last 11 albums worth of songs that I've purchased from my laptop (the computer I'm currently using) -- but none of the 4000+ others that I own on my desktop, that are in iCloud via iTunes match -- in spite of the fact that iTunes Match kept assuring me they were all there.
I did find the useful advice from similarly frustrated users to keep on trying. I ultimately got things to work for me -- I guess I'll see how long it will last -- by quitting iTunes completely, then reopening, then turning off iTunes Match, then turning it back on again.
So to other frustrated iTunes 11 users I repeat the refrain: keep on trying, and it will eventually work. At least until the next time it stops working.
To users of earlier releases of iTunes, I offer this advice: don't upgrade to iTunes 11 until Apple works out the bugs.
To Apple, I offer this earnest plea: please fix it. There's a reason that Apple has so many diehard fans: because it delivers great stuff that works beautifully. This release of iTunes is a blot on your reputation. Please fix it. Thanks.
P.S. -- I am giving feedback to Apple via iTunes Feedback. If you're also having problems, please follow my example. Thanks.

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??
Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
ThanksIf you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

Before I never have problems cause I could only see one library and not 2 like now .....HELP !!!!!
I do not understand what you mean about two libraries. Can you post a screen shot?
Maybe this will help with your problem
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

ITunes "severe problem" with Windows XP Pro - Version: 6.0.2
I installed iTunes 6.0.2. It worked fine at very first time after that it refuses to reconzie my iPod. After installing iTunes, when i connect the iPod i got the New device found icon in the system tray and my iTunes got opened with my iPod detect in that. Then i uploaded my songs photos in it. Then safely removed my iPod. The next time onwards i connect my iPod my Windows XP detects it show icon in the system tray for new device found open iTunes but iPod is not detected in iTunes I tried install/uninstall/repair everything with iPod and iTune. (Tried all the possible combination and evrytime ending up my box rebooting...pathetic with no results )
I can't believe that Apple is boneheaded enough to release a version of iTunes that was buggy to Windows XP Prof machines, so if anyone figures out what's specifically wrong with a few including mine, please shout out.Chech this link..i am not the only one

APP store indicates 1 update. Press "store", "loading" briefly on screen then white screen with updates bar on top. Press updates button in lower right; nothing happens frozen with white screen and still indication 1 update. Other store features and ipod work ok
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign ut and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Natalie.I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides. -
I first tried downloading Safari when the 5.0 update came out last year. When I choose the app in the dock, I get the blue top bar (Safari, File, etc) but nothing else loads. I uninstalled the app and tried again several times, but no success. For over a year now I've used Firefox as a result. Today I thought I'd try again, but same results. When I choose "new window" in the file menu, I get a small gray window with my bookmarks on top, then in a few seconds, the app quits unexpectedly and the report an error screen appears. I've unchecked all the languages in the information area for the app, cleared all history, cookies, and cache. Still the extensions tab in the preferences area has "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" in 4 places. It won't show what that means when I click the "?". Will I ever be able to use Safari again?
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
-> Profile in use
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
Check and tell if its working. -

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.
I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

I opened my iTunes account with an e-mail address I no longer use, and I can not authorize my new computer to access my iPhone without the iTunes password affiliated with my no longer in use e-mail account. The problem is I can't remember the iTunes password that goes with that account. And the account I no longer use is my primary account. Is there a way around this to where I can change my primary account or at least take the old account off of iTunes???

Can I use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?
Hi all,
Am I able to use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?
I use my account on my PC - but I would like to download the latest version of iTunes onto my Mum's laptop, log in to my own iTunes Store account and rent a movie for her to download onto the laptop.
Is this possible and would I still be able to use my account on my PC at the same time?
Many thanks,
Steve.Good question.
I don't think you can--if I'm incorrect, someone will tell me--but it seems to me to be easier to simply open an iTunes account for your mom. Then get her a gift card, load it into iTunes for her, and rent a movie that way. Not elegant at all...but workable.
