ITunes Accesses FDD every time I play a file (!!!)
This is really funny, as every time I hear the FDD drive being accessed I laugh and keep wondering why would a program like iTunes 7.2, in the 21st century would mess with the floppy diskette drive and access it every time I play a file, despite the fact that I have not inserted a floppy disk since I bought my PC.
Any ideas on how I can stop it?
First, make sure it is iTunes that is accessing the FDD. You can use the free tool "Filemon" to do so:

Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it re-names all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?
(By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
29.95 fps = NTSC
25 fps = PAL.
BTW, this is actually the iMovie 5 forum, but no matter! -
ITunes Radio hangs every time it plays a rejoin (You're listening to iTunes Radio).
Every time iTunes plays a rejoin ("You're listening to iTunes Radio"), the channel hangs. Stopping and restarting the stream does not fix the problem. The only solution is to start a second channel for a second, then go back to the original channel.
Same issue since changing Apple ID password. Apple TV won't allow me to play my music of video purchases (says iTunes is currently unavailable). I'm able to play them on my mac and iPad, however. Radio on the other hand is completely crazy on all my devices - when choosing a station it immediately skips through several songs at a rapid pace then gets stuck on the "you're listening to iTunes radio" glitch as described above.
I've done a reset and factory restore of my Apple TV, signed in and out of my Apple ID, reset my router, NOTHING has worked. Apple support was no help.
I'm sorry I have nothing to contribute right now - I'll keep searching and share here if I find a solution.
Why is chaning my password causing such chaos?! -
New iTunes crashes almost every time I play a newly imported mp3
Since updating to 7.0.1 (7) it has crashed several times, usually when I double click on a newly imported mp3. It has also crashed while Ive been using other applications, ie Firefox, but not anything out of the ordinary.
Anyone else having similar problems? Will the crash log help me determine what the problem is and what to do about it?iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
A virus
or
Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library. -
my itunes is playing up. Every time I play a track or album I get a crackling interference noise. It sometimes abates for a while but then comes right back again!What's this all about and how can I stop it?

I am unable to access my iTunes store through my iTunes account. Every time I have tried it gives me an error ' cannot, connect to iTunes'
check to see if you are online
check to see if you can access secured websites (https) on your computer / device
if this is on a computer with windows configuring your antivirus / firewall to not block itunes some times will help, also resetting your tcp/ip might fix it (open command prompt as an administrator, type: "netsh reset winsock" hit enter, restart computer -
I updated my itunes and now every time i try to play a song 'internal error' shows up and itunes quits. Please help me....
Hi Dance4Life85!
I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes, according to the instructions in this article:
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11201
To reinstall iTunes, download it from the Apple Downloads website.
Apple Downloads website
Note that all you will need to do is download iTunes and install it again, it will install over the version that is on your computer right now without issue. If your issue persists, you may want to see this article about troubleshooting third-party plugins for iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
Lastly, if neither of these resolve the issue, then you may need to recreate your iTunes library. More information on this can be found here:

ITunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store
iTunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store. Windows 7 Pro, 64bit. Support document ht1923 wasn't helping :-(. Is it possible to make a downgrade?
Before reverting back to 10.7, which caused me to loose folders on my iPad try looking at the reply by gn_id in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555900?start=30&tstart=0 . Seems his suggestion has helped severla people by running the FixIt file from MS.

HT5704 Why I can't access iTunes??every time I signed it says need to review account
Why I can't sign in to iTunes ??every time I tried it always shows I need to review my account..
Check the latest iTunes (v 11.0.4). The change list includes the note:
"...addresses and issue that may require you to log into the iTunes Store repeatedly."
I don't know if that's your issue, but it can't hurt -
When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.
1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps! -

Hello there, Staver13.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some assistance in troubleshooting your issue:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Particularly:
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
i recebtly bought an app (FIFA 12) now every time i play a match after the match it does not save an just goes to the home page without warning and i have to start all over again and no i did not press the home button. plz help
You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
