ITunes 11 is a bag of hurt in Snow Leopard (multiple bugs) - Fixes? Workarounds?

iTunes 11 is a bag of hurt in Snow Leopard (multiple bugs) - Fixes? Workarounds?
I had been using iTunes 11.0.2 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on early 2011 Mac Book Pro. When I went to iTunes store on August 1, it would no longer display the iTunes store, it shows just a blank white screen. Upgrading to the current iTunes 11.0.4 does not help, I still get white screens when I try to go to the iTunes store. If I run iTunes 11.0.2 on a different Lion machine it displays the store just fine.
Before this crippling issue began, I was having two other problems with iTunes 11.
1) When I was able and did view app descriptions in the iTunes store, I would try to click on the links for reviews, or related apps, etc, and none of the links worked. This problems also does not occur in Lion.
2) Also, I really do not like the new app sync buttons, "Remove", "Will Remove", "Update", "Will Update". Sometimes iTunes becomes confused on the state of an app, especially when I sync two devices to have the same apps on each. Also, when I have many apps, its a pain to find and click all the "Update" buttons to make them say "Will Update" as I have to read the buttons closely. There should at least be a way to sort the apps by status so I can see all the ones that say "Update" together.
I am on Snow Leopard because I have some Mac apps that still require Rosetta and I do not wish to upgrade. However, it seems that even though Apple says iTunes is compatible with Snow Leopard, they are doing a poor job of testing it in Snow Leopard.
Anyone else seeing these issues with iTunes 11 in Snow Leopard? Any Fixes? Or Workarounds?

You are simply not understanding how app updating works in iTunes 11. Apple has changed it up a bit. When viewing your apps in iTunes, along the top, directly under the LED display click the "updates" tab. This will show you all the apps that have available updates. Then click the "update" button in the lower right of the screen.

This is generally a network issue. As a first trouble shooting step, restart your computer. If that does not work power cycling the internet modem will generally clear up the problem.

I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music

I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music and pics? And keep them synced up as I purchase more?

Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

Hi Doomtrooper,
When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
Please be a little more specific

Trouble transfering music to iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 from iTunes 11.1.5 on Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I recently fixed my Macbook Pro and updated the software to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I am having trouble syncing my iPhone with iOS 7.0.6 to my iTunes which is 11.1.5. It gets stuck on step 4 of 4 "Waiting for changes to apply." I've reset sync services and done a lot of research about what I can do to fix the problem to no avail. I would appreciate any help availible.
Thanks

I had the same issues, reloaded itunes, updated driver, blasted everything out, etc., did everything, short of doing a rain dance. I finally got it to sync by clicking the box "sync only checked songs and videos". It also allowed me to sync books, etc. Good Luck Bwerner25.

ITunes won't recognize iPod touch since Snow Leopard

I convinced my dad to get Snow Leopard (the low price helped), and he loaded it onto his macbook pro, but now his iPod touch won't mount – it charges from the USB port, but iTunes doesn't recognize it. We plugged in my iPhone to see if it would work, and it started iPhoto, but not iTunes. That shows pretty conclusively that the trouble is with iTunes software. We haven't tried reinstalling it because I'm worried he'll lose all of his many playlists and settings. Any suggestions?

Hello JacobST,
Have you tried resetting the iPod touch with it connected to the Mac? To do this, press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons together until the unit powers off. Then press and hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
If not luck with that, work through the troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document. You can choose to skip the re-installation of iTunes until later, but do know that it will have no affect on the media or settings, because this information is stored elsewhere on his Mac.

In order to download the new iTunes version, I had to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Even after I upgrated, iTunes wont allow me to install it. What gives?

When I try to download the new iTunes for my iPhone 5, a pop up message comes saying i need 10.6.8 or higher. But even after I bought and installed snow leopard, it still comes up with the same message.

Ipad plus reconnu par iTune sur iMac suite à installation de osx snow leopard

Bonjour
Suite a installation de osx sono léopard version 10 6 3, mes ipad et ipodtouch n apparaissent plus dans iTune et donc plus de synchonisation possible.
Pouvez vous m'aider à régler ce problème svp ?

My first recommendation would be to update all the way to OS X 10.6.8 using Software Update.
When I updated my older MacBook a couple of years ago to Snow Leopard the same thing happened to me when I first plugged in my iPad. iTunes would not recognize it. I wanted to take a few days with 10.6.3 before I fully updated the OS, but I made the decision to just update all the way and see what happened. After I updated all the way to 10.6.8, everything worked fine.

ITunes 9 store won't work without snow leopard.

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes but I need Snow leopard in order for the store to work. I only have version 10.4.11. Is there anything i can do without getting leopard to make the store work? I was thinking about just uninstalling itunes and installing an earlier version.

iTunes 9 will work on OS 10.4.11, but you need Safari 4.0.3 installed to access the store.
You can get Safari here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Be sure to choose the version for Tiger:

Migrating iTunes from removed G4 HD to new Snow Leopard MacBook Pro...

I have set up a MBP with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 installed. I have a removed G4 HD from my Powerbook 1.67GHz former Mac. The SL does not yet have iTunes installed on the new software
Since ALL my former music is on the G4 HD, what is the best way for me to transfer it over so as not to lose that music. Do I set up the iTunes first on the SL site or just transfer it over from the G4(I guess Migration Assistant) ?
Also of note; before I installed the SL on the MBP(it was a used one and had a previous iTunes-also not set up on it), I backed up the entire HD which was Leopard 10.5.7, then erased it before the SL installation. I have that on a Time Machine backup on an external WD HD.
What is the preferred way to do this, in order of sequences ?
Really NEED to get this right the first time so I don't lose all that music...
Thanks for your help

Read this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449?viewlocale=en_US
Download iTunes and install - it is only the app - the real stuff is in the iTunes folder. Once you have moved the the iTunes Folder and open iTunes - if it is a newer version - it will take sometime to update the iTunes Lbrary - be patient.
Migration Assistant is a good option if using computer to computer. If not then an ext HD case with FW is best - IMHO.

New Error Code -36 on Snow Leopard - will Lion fix this?

Guys - I know that this has been asked before - but I've not seen a solution that works. Basically, I used my PNY City USB Flash Drive as an "on the go" container for movies, music and work files. I happily was (and still am) to move all content from the PNY to my PC and view all on my Toshiba Portable DVD player. Until last night, I could happily transfer movies at whim from either my iMac or my Macbook Air to PNY to watch on the go. Last night the dreaded error code -36 arrived, stopping me from writing ANY content from my two apple computers to the PNY. Then, I surfed the net for 3 hours and tried:
Disk Utility (Repair etc)
Terminal dot_clean
Jumping on the PNY stick, then my iMac, finally my Macbook Air
Breaking PNY stick in two.
Obvs, kidding about the last two. Nothing works. I've now ordered my Lion thumb drive as I've heard tell that this is a Snow Leopard-specific issue. It better be at £55 an upgrade.
Now everything except movie files (.mkv, .avi etc) can be moved from the apple computers to the PNY - but not what I need - the movies! I need the content on the PNY because this is what I stick in to my Toshiba to view content on my commute.
I use a PC at work and I've just copied items from the PNY to the PC which works, but has a write-protection error message preventing me. Seems like the PNY has flipped to write-protection? I can't remove it at the moment as at work and big brother does not give me permissions here to do that - I'll try it at home. BUT would be great to know:
(a) why this happens
(b) is there a solution
(c) has this been addressed by Lion - have any Lion users had this issue too?
Apple support says that it's 10.6.8 update fixed error code -36 - but it surely didn't on mine!
Cheers guys.

Error -36 is not a specific error or bug. It simply means input/output error, and nothing more. If it occurs when copying a file, it doesn't even tell you whether the issue is with the source or the target. It can be caused by any number of problems.
Apple support says that it's 10.6.8 update fixed error code -36
Where exactly does it say that? I can't find anything about an "error code -36" in the "about" doc
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4561>

In that case, it's not likely you're dealing with a bug in the OS.
from either my iMac or my Macbook Air […] PC which works, but has a write-protection error message preventing me. […]
So, let me get this straight.
You get an I/O error when you try to copy from one Mac.
You get an I/O error when you try to copy from another Mac.
And you get some kind of error or unexpected issue when trying to copy from the PC.
What exactly do all these three have in common?
First, that there's an error; second, that it occurs with the same "PNY City USB Flash Drive".
So what's your conclusion? That you've encountered some bug in Mac OS X? Or that there's some problem with the drive?

Upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard - multiple problems

I have a MacPro 4.1 (Mid2009) 2x2.26 quad-core w/ 8gb ram. My previous OS was 10.5.8 Leopard. I purchased the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard upgrade disk, performed the upgrade install, then installed the latest updates from Apple to 10.6.6.
Now the following problems occur:
1) I can't make a folder of alias's from my Applications folder. They all show up as gray squares with the text name below them. Opening the folder brings the infamous 'rainbow beachball of death' and I have to relaunch the Finder a minimum of twice to four times, at which point all the aliases then appear as normal icons.
2) My generic e-Sata controller card is completely ignored by the OS. System profiler "sees it", but nothing connected to it will mount.
3) My Matrox O2 Rack unit successfully installed, as I was able to upres VOB files via Premiere CS5 and output that upres to a BlackMagic Decklink card using Final Cut Pro as the capture software - both running within in the one MacPro. On this initial install it did work quite successfully. The next day, however, after turning the MacPro on, the OS reported that the Matrox O2 host connector box was an unknown Network connection and prompted me for Network configuration!
Sounds to me like some OS firmware/chipset abnormalities. But what to test and where????

Maybe not. Start by doing this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Get a utility such as TinkerTool System or Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner and AppleJack. For the former clear all user, system, and font caches. For the latter install according to documentation then follow instructions on using AppleJack.
Next, boot into safe mode. See how that goes. Note that wireless and all third-party extensions are disabled in safe mode. So your eSATA card and Matrox device will not work if they require proprietary drivers.
Also, create a new user account. Log into the new account and see how that goes. This will not disable wireless or third-party drivers.

Audio Midi Setup, multichannel speakers, Snow Leopard & possible bug

I scoured this forum as well as the usual places across the net and haven't seen any mention of this issue, thought I'd post it here and see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm having a problem with a fresh install of 10.6.2 that I detailed in a bug report to Apple. Here's what I sent them:
"I have a firewire audio interface I use successfully with Logic Pro/Quicktime Pro 7/Finder in a multichannel (5.1) configuration for scoring and post, which works fine in 10.5.8. I can play multichannel (interleaved) 5.1 files bounced out of Logic Pro in Quicktime Pro and from within the Finder using QuickLook, and all channels play out of the speakers (which is of course configured properly in both Audio Midi Setup and Logic Pro).
In the latest version of Snow Leopard however, even though multichannel audio works fine in Logic Pro (probably because it has its own multichannel speaker config in Logic's audio preferences), this same hardware setup does not work outside of Logic. Multichannel audio files only play out of the left & right channels (C/LFE/Ls/Rs are summed). I believe the problem is Audio Midi Setup. Even though I enable the correct stream and choose the correct speakers from with "speaker configuration," and even though the test tone buttons work over the appropriate speakers in that window, after I hit "apply," when playing multichannel audio files in QT7 or via Quicklook in the Finder, the problem persists (summing all channels to L & R speakers).
Furthermore, when I click "Done" in the speaker config window and quit Audio Midi Setup and re-open it, the speaker configuration window reveals that my multichannel setup has reverted to Audio Midi Setup's intial state: a 2 channel (stereo) setup. I've done this at least ten times, as well as having deleted the AMS prefs and launched the utility in 32-bit mode with no success."
Has anyone else with a multi-speaker setup had any problems with AMS initializing their speaker configuration, and just plain not working?

I don't know if this will help you, but I once had a problem with Audio Midi Setup forgetting its settings - I found that the settings were only securely stored if I made the changes while logged on as an administrator.

My iomega stopped backing up files. This happened around the time I updated to Snow Leopard. Any fixes?

My iomega stopped backing up files around the time I updated tp Snow Leopard. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Aside from hitting it with a baseball bat I would really like to find a solution. My time machine just says no disk detected. Help?
Severly tech disoriented

If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how.
