Itunes 9.1 crashes on all m4p files
I have upgraded my itunes to the latest and it will not play ANY of my 60 m4p files that I purchased years ago. It actually will not just not play, but it CRASHES every time I tray to play.
In the itunes store, it knows I purchased them and even tries to sell me a $16 upgrade to itunes plus for each. But I just want to play what I already purchased.
Another note is that I have changed my apple ID since I purchased these files because the old email went away. When I take any of the problem files and select Get Info, it says protected file, fairplay 2, and has my old apple ID showing.
Any idea on how to get these to play again?
Greetings,
I'm having a similar problem. I have a Mac and a PC. For years I've had my music library on my Mac. I moved my music library to the PC by creating a new library and reimporting all the audio files from an external hard disk.
Everything plays fine apart from M4P files. I've re-authorized them when I've received prompts. The files play, but are very jumpy and slow. The jumpiness is also inconsistent: sometimes you'll get 10 seconds of smooth playback and then the jumpiness resumes. Again: this happens only with M4P files. All my M4A and other files are fine.
I've tried changing some audio driver settings, including putting Quicktime into Safe Mode, but it didn't make any difference, which makes me think this is an iTunes glitch rather than an audio playback problem.

Please help as I am trying to reload new version of Itunes. I have followed all advice I could find in removing apple files and itune files etc...Now when I try to download it asks me if i want to save itunes setup_exe and when i select that option I get a message that says could not be downloaded. Any help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

all right, i'm not sure if this is the reason for the trouble i am experiencing, so i will shoot both possibilities out. my music is no longer on my itunes, and now that i am trying to transfer it from the music files on my computer, it freezes once it gets to a certain point (maybe around 320 song while it's verifying the artwork.. which i deleted possibly/accidentally) here are the reasons this may have occured: 1) i am new to transfering files to my external hard drive and improperly removed it from my computer (i know how to, i'm just a screw-up sometimes). 2) after downloading the newer version of itunes (which i did at about the same time of this occuring). can you help? i am an utter eff-up.
You are going to have to connect to the computer and restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

FLV encoder crashes on all .WMV files
When trying to view the settings or start que on any .wmv (windows Media Video) file I drag into the flash video encoder, the program immediately crashes. I've tried many different WMV files from different sources, all the same outcome.
Is this a known issue with FLV encoder or something wrong on my end? Hopefully I dont need to buy a 3rd party converter.
Thanks for any insight!

Photoshop Album Starter 3.0The program does not do screen captures for you, you would needs something else to help.
Set the thumbnail to maximum size - one per screen.
Now, if you hit the PrintScrn button on your keyboard it will place an image on the Windows clipboard. You would then need to go to an image editing program, paste it in, trim and save.
Alternatively, there are a load of [free] screen capture programs around that would help you automate this process. You might look here, for example: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/grcapt.html -
Music Store causes iTunes to randomly crash...
Ever since upgrading to a video ipod my itunes has been playing up with the music store.
I can open iTunes fine, I can access all my files and playlists from both the PC and ipod, however when I click on Music Store, it starts loading then iTunes just disappears. There's no error message, it just crashes to desktop.
I can sometimes access the music store by going to a certain song in my library and clicking on the link next to the artist or album, but this only works sometimes.
I've tried disconnecting my ipod, closing all other applications, just about every combination, but nothing helps!
I've tried contacting apple support, but they just asked what error message I encountered, even though I already explained I was getting no error message.
Can someone help?I'm having the same problem. The only change I've made recently is installing IE8. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime, reset IE8 settings, disabled firewall and antivirus (ESET), and even did a system restore to a date when iTunes store was working. Any other suggestions?

QT stole all my file associations and won't give them back
Once I installed the latest iTunes, Quicktime decided to steal all my file associations. Now anytime I click on an mp3 on a website, I get that annoying QuickTime plugin that takes up the entire page when I used to get a Windows Media Player plugin that either opened as a new instance, or in the left media column.
I went into the MIME and File Types settings for Quicktime and removed everything, I also went into my Windows File Types and made sure mp3s were set to play with Windows Media Player. None of this helped.
How can I get my file associations back?
Thanks.Try altering the tag for the ringtone: right-click on a ringtone in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the Info tab and make a slight change to the Artist, tap OK and try syncing again. If it transfers to your phone do the same for the others.

Finding .m4p files on external hard drive so they can be deleted???? Help
I just copied my very large music library from one external hard drive to a second external hard drive. I am giving the hard drive to my daughter at college, but before I do, I want to remove all the .m4p protected songs from the second drive so the protected music doesn't fall into other peoples hands.
When I search the drive, it finds no .m4p files. I think it is because the search function is not looking into the sub folders. In other words, I click on the hard drive, it expands to show all the artist names. I then do a search for *.m4p and it comes up with nothing. Clearly I do not want to go through each album name under each artist because there are about 4000 artists and 50,000 songs.
How can have have the search function look into every file and identify all the *.m4p files so I can delete them before sharing?
ThanksMatt Krumwiede wrote:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure I understand....
Is there not a way to do a search of a disc to find all .m4p files in folders and the sub folders?
You can use the terminal:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
mac $ ls /Volumes/Spotless/spotless.*
/Volumes/Spotless/spotless.png
mac $ ls /Volumes/Spotless/spotless*
/Volumes/Spotless/spotless-test.m4p /Volumes/Spotless/spotless.png
mac $ find /Volumes/Spotless/ -iname '*.m4p'
/Volumes/Spotless//spotless-test.m4p
Run the list command to see what files will be found.
mac $ find /Volumes/Spotless -name '*.m4p' -exec ls {} \;
/Volumes/Spotless/spotless-test.m4p
Be careful with this command. The rm commands will delete a file.
mac $ find /Volumes/Spotless -name '*.m4p' -exec rm -i {} \;
remove /Volumes/Spotless/spotless-test.m4p? y
mac $
It seems strange that I would need a 3rd party ap to do so.
the Spotless facility was introduced with tiger. Spotless does not do well when searching by filename.
I have found that spotlight is inconsistent when searching by filename. To search by filename, try:
FindAnyFile
"This is a free program for Mac OS 10.4 and later that lets you search for files on your disks, primarily on HFS formatted ones."
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
EasyFind
An alternative to or supplement of Spotlight and finds files, folders or contents in any file without the need for indexing.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/easyfind.html
Sometimes I have to resort to Unix.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
I prefer to use iname instead of name because iname is case independent whereas name is case depended.
#this command finds anything starting with python
find / -iname 'python*'
You can also run commands against the found file. Be careful. Always list the file before doing something.
# this is the safe list command. No changes are made.
find /home/robert -user robert -exec ls {} \;
{} is the filename
\; is the required characters for lineend

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
