ITunes 6.0 bugs?

I had a 40GB iPod which I loved, but stupidly left on a plane on Sat. So, I bought a new 60GB iPod - looked good - video, etc. The new ones require iTunes 6.0, which I installed and it copied my existing library fine, and everything seemed ok until I hooked up my new iPod and tried to download my library to it. WOAH! - many error messages, mostly saying that I neeed to run chkdsk as there are bad or cross-linked files in the iTunes program...???!!!
In desparation, I copied my iTunes library to a laptop and then tried to synch up to it. It copies (most) of the library fine, but did not restore my painstakingly build albums, genres, playlists, etc.
Has anyone else had issues with iTunes 6.0 and is there a fix????

Please try posting in the iPod Video section of the forums and they there will probably be able to help you more
Happy Halloween!

  • Okay, the iTunes 8.2 bug that I had on my iPod Touch is back with my iPhone

    I have new iPhone 3GS that I picked up this morning at 7 am. I love it, but the iTunes 8.2 bug that is being thoroughly discussed in the iPod Touch forum is back and affecting my iPhone 3GS. I did read one random post that a Apple Tech Support person said to unplug the internet (disconnect your internet) before plugging it in. I don't know why, but it worked and makes me wonder if this will also work for iPod Touch users. Weird, but it is definitely a nice work around for now!

    I got it again. I plug in the iPhone into my computer and it is telling that it thinks it is a camera because it is trying to launch Canon CameraWindow, MS scanner, Picasa3, etc. Then iTunes says, "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please, disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." Yes, I tried again, and completely uninstalled iTunes and all things Apple to only re-install it. I am at my whits end again!

  • ITunes 11.4 bug when used with OS 10.6.8 - won't sync or backup iPhone

    I actually just wanted to post this in case Apple monitors these boards. iTunes 11.4 says it's compatible with OS 10.6.8 or later, but there is a bug in it when you're running OS 10.6.8 that prevents you from backing up or synching your iPhone (in my case, a 5s). Doesn't matter what iOS you're running. If you attempt to backup in iTunes 11.4, it immediately ends the backup and only displays "Other" content being stored on your phone. Also, the "Sync" button is greyed out, so you can't even attempt to sync.
    No amount of restoring (even a DFU restore) or reinstalling iTunes 11.4 will fix this. The solution is to delete iTunes 11.4 and its related files and to reinstall iTunes 11.3.1, at least until Apple gets the bug corrected. After hours of restores trying to resolve it, I followed this process and it completely solved my problem in about ten minutes. I found the solution with instructions in this thread:
    Upgraded to iTunes 11.4 and now it won't sync my iPhone 5s-sync button is greyed out.
    Thanks to cwa2, enee and Zak for supplying the solution. I've also summarized the steps here.
    (1) Use this link to download a copy of iTunes 11.3.1:
    http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/download-review/1957301/apple-itunes-for-mac-1110
    (2) Delete the following iTunes 11.4 components (they will be replaced when you install iTunes 11.3.1) by dragging them to the Trash:
    /Applications/iTunes.app
    /Library/Frameworks/iTunesLibrary.framework
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/MobileDevices.bun dle
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AirTrafficHost.framework
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreFP.framework
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iTunesAccess.framework
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    (3) Some people have had trouble seeing the contents of the CoreTypes.bundle to get to the MobileDevices.bundle. You can access it this way:
    In the Finder, select Go To Folder under the Go To menu (or Shift+ Cmd+ G)
    Type in: /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/
    The MobileDevices.bundle will be displayed; drag it to the Trash.
    (4) Empty your Trash.
    (5) Install iTunes 11.3.1, and go back to living your life. Remember, do not upgrade to iTunes 11.4 again until you're certain the bug has been resolved.

    In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And  I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
    PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273   - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
    The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
    1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
    2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
    3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
    So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
    Again, respectfully,
    1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
    2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at  1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
    and
    3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
    lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!

  • Burning Error 4000 - itunes 7.7 Bug???

    I have never had any trouble burning with itunes until I updated my itunes from 7.6 to 7.7 . When I tried burning a CD with itunes 7.7 for the first time, I could not burn the CD and recieved the error 4000 message. Like I said, I have never had any problems before I updated my itunes. My drive is updated and I've been through the repair/uninstall-reinstall process and none helped with the situation. I see other people are having this problem but I'm thinking this problem is might concern the 7.7 update. Could this be a universal bug???????

    I just read a response to a person with the same problem:
    I know I couldn't believe it was that easy either. I actually found it when I ran CD diagnostics....at the very bottom of the diagnostics page was a little comment saying something like "if you are having trouble burning try turning off write cd text option" and i was just like well why has no one else seen this!!
    (compliments of someone named comuscle)
    I was having the same problem as you and had tech support help me get the "old kingdom" back. I thought going from 7.6 to 8.0 would have helped but alas it was the exact same problem. Went through about 20 discs too. I have tech support working on this and have sent me a regedit that did not work. But this simple easy thing works! By the way I also saw another discussion that people were havinng the same problem at version 4.5...I wonder?

  • ITunes desperately needs bug reporting tools

    Since this is the closest I'm going to get, I'd like to say that for some reason, if iTunes is minimized, whenever I use my media keys for volume (V up/down or mute), it gets counted twice. Works fine if iTunes is closed or focused, but otherwise, it doesn't. I also only noticed this behavior in iTunes 7.1.1. Why do all of their .1 releases break the control interface? 7.0.1 didn't let external programs control iTunes. Stupid people.

    hi Lance!
    actually we've also got (at long last) a dedicated itunes application feedback form now. it has a "bug report" feedback category. here's a link through to that:
    iTunes application feedback
    the following page is also helpful ... it contains all the Apple product feedback forms (including the QuickTime one, and all the different iPod ones):

  • ITunes 12 UI bug: Missing repeat button

    I already submitted a bug report to Apple about this but I wanted to confirm with others that in iTunes 12, the repeat control button is missing from next to the shuffle control button at the top.
    See this screenshot:

    I'm afraid it's not a bug but a bad choice of changing the interface. If you right-click on the shuffle icon, you open a menu you can activate repeat.
    The blue repeat sign just gives you info you are in repeat-mode.
    So they have made "repeat" a sort of hidden feature you might, or might not, stumble upon (who thinks of right clicking a shuffle-button FCOL)

  • Itunes progress bar Bug

    Hi there
    I found a bug in the latest iTunes 8.0.2.
    I would like to describe my steps:
    I've just imported an Audio CD. At this this time i deleted some songs out of my Library and selected to delete it from the Harddisk as well.
    After this click it shows up a window that said me "Delete this song" or something. In this window was a Progress Bar which has the same status as the progress from the importing Audio File. It confused me a little. But iTunes has done the Job correctly.

    You're welcome.  However, that isn't a bug; it's designed that way.  When you click Back Up Now in iTunes it will still backup your device to your computer.  This allows you to back up to both iCloud and to your computer at the same time.  The only difference when you are backing up to iCloud is that you devce will no longer automatically back up to your computer when you sync with iTunes.  It automatically backs up to iCloud instead (by connecting your device to wifi and your charger, and locking your screen).  You can still, however, manually back up to your computer at any time by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab.

  • ITunes home share bug?

    Hi, I found that is I have two computers on a home network where both have the same user name, only one computer see the share, after I renamed the user of one computer, I was able so see both home shares. Does anyone else experienced this problem?

    I see the same problem. All of my five computers have the same user name but each computer has a different name. I did this to make life much easier to keep the in-sync and it has worked for years. Recently I purchased an iPad for my wife, downloaded a bunch of APPS on my system and was going nuts trying to get the Home Share working. I view this as a bug in iTunes but I'm sure that Apple will not see it as a bug. I must have wasted at least 20 hours on this bug, trying to get it to work, going over the instructions numerous times, running numerous searches and finally I find your post. Thank you for posting the issue.
    Is there any way to report this as an issue to Apple?

  • Sync from iPhone 3G to iTunes - not working, bug?

    I am trying to restore my music from my iphone 3G to my new PC and iTunes. But every time i select sync Music, iTunes says it will delete all music on my iPhone and replace with nothing. Anyone got any ideas when this bug will be fixed? Or is it just a wrongly worded function, so NOT sync, but copy, and only in one direction? Very confused why iTunes would lack such basic functions...

    Thank you for your reply. I understand that it's not a backup device, but I don't understand why such a simple and helpful feature is so hard to achieve? The only reason I can see is, after reading up on this 'bug', is that you are quite right, they don't want you to use it as a backup device, UNLESS, if you spent all your money with Apple and iTunes, because then you CAN sync from iPhone to iTunes. So much for "All you music in one place (but only music Apple made money from)"... Now I have to buy some third party software to copy it all back. Absolute rubbish again from Apple.

  • ITunes proxy authentication BUG

    Hello there,
    i´m starting the iTunes 10.7 under Windows 7.
    iTunes 10.7 gets the proxy settings from the IE9. Now the iTunes wants an proxy authentication o.k. ... but in my case i must repeat the loggin 5 TIMES.
    Remember my Passwort ... dont work....
    Anyone else have the same Problem?
    Does anyone know iTunes 11 fix the proxy authentication BUG ???
    How can i solve this problem ?

    I have this issue, but at least 10.7 gives you the option to put in your authentication details.
    iTunes 11 does not have proxy authentication at this point in time so do not upgrade if you require this.
    I have upgraded to version 11 and now can't access the iTunes store.

  • ITunes 10.4 BUG (Covers)

    Hello there,
    Since the last iTunes update (10.4), the bug REappears concerning artworks & covers in the finder, it's so annoying.
    You corrected the bug in the last version of iTunes, all was perfect !!
    But now with the new version (10.4) the bug reappears... You can't see the cover with the "preview SPACE fonction"
    So please correct this bug once and for all.
    Bug found with OSX 10.5.8
    & iTunes 10.4 (80)
    Thanks !

    Hello Maccers,
    English:
    I'm got also the same problem with covers in Finder, So i'm opening some Mp3 files it will automatic opens iTunes and add them to my iTunes Library, if i wanna edit some ID3 tags that works full but the coverillustration doesnt appears in iTunes or it takes a few seconds when it appears (i'm use BMP pictures), But since i have updated my iTunes to 10.4 it even never appears on the thumbnails in Finder and the strange things is, I have it only with iTunes 10.4 edited Mp3 files.
    Not with with Mp3 files i'm edited at iTunes 10.3 10.2 10.1 10.0 or earlier they just have album-art thumbnails on iTunes and Finder.
    Dutch:
    Ik heb hetzelfde probleem met covers in Finder, Dus wanneer ik een paar Mp3 bestanden open, opent automatisch iTunes ook en voegt de Mp3 bestanden toe aan mijn Bibliotheek, als ik wat ID3 tags bewerk werkt dat helemaal, maar als ik de illustratie's wil bewerken verschijnen ze niet in mijn iTunes Bibliotheek
    of het duurt wat langer (ik gebruik BMP afbeelingen), Maar sinds ik geupdated heb naar iTunes 10.4 verschijnen ze niet eens meer op de voorbeelden in Finder en het vreemde eraan is dat ik het alleen heb met 10.4 bewerkt Mp3 bestanden.
    Met Mp3 bestanden bewerkt met iTunes 10.3 10.2 10.1 10.0 of ouder die hebben wel album-art voorbeelden in iTunes en zowel in Finder
    System/Systeem:
    MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2010 Low End Model
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    ITunes 10.4 (80) same version as: Fabio 2011

  • ITunes 6 lyrics bug

    In iTunes 6 whenever I paste lyrics into the field the text ends up pasted twice. I've tried with the mouse menu, the menu and cmd-v. It's all the same.

    This is a truly annoying bug, yes. I found a great free tool on Version Tracker called pearLyrics that looks up lyrics on the web as the song is playing in iTunes and pastes the lyrics directly into the song - only once and not twice. (Uncheck the "Look for chords first" box for just lyrics.) It's not perfect but it works pretty well.
    Still, sometimes I need to find lyrics it can't and want to cut and paste... UGH! It's also impossible to alter the lyrics once they're pasted, the text editing does not work correctly at all. Hope they fix this - and soon.

  • ITunes Podcast iPhone bugs?

    1. Does anyone know how to transfer specific podcast track to iPhone?
    2. I think I found a bug in iTunes. I have 4 podcast tracks (#1,2,3,4) the #1 is already played while the rest are not. In the podcast sync setting, the "3 most recent unplayed" will transfer track #2,3,4 to iPhone while setting "3 least recent unplayed" transfer tracks #1,2,3. But track #1 is already played why it is still being transferred?
    3. Another annoying thing is that iTunes doesn't care about podcast track #. If you have track #1...10 that are encoded at different time order, iTunes will only sort tracks based on date, not the track # defined in the tag. Let's say if re-encode #3 then iTunes will think it is the most recent track. Any cure to this?

    If, when your iPhone is plugged in, you click on your iPhone in iTunes. You'll see the main screen, click on the podcast tab. You can select what you want it to sync. By clicking on the Sync _____ episode button, you get a number of options to select. Play with those and see if they meet your needs.

  • ITunes 11 Playlist Bug

    When I import songs from an album from my iTunes library to a new iTunes playlist, the songs are arranged from bottom to top instead of top to bottom. This is just a small bug that i think it has to be fixed for the next iTunes patch. Please reply if this bug has ever happened to you. I tested this bug using iTunes 11.0.1 (12) in Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), so I don't know if this bug also applies on the Windows version.

    1.  This is not a bug.
    2.  Apple doesn't respond on these forums.  It's a user to user support forum.
    If you want to give feedback, go to apple.com/feedback.
