Itunes acting up

Itunes is acting up. When I try to get the track names it says there is an http error. It says that it can't find the track names even though a lot of these are mainstream releases.

Try reinstalling Quciktime:

My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?

- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

Itunes acts like fresh install always

When I upgraded, iTunes acts like it's the first time every time I open it. I have to sign in to the store again, go through multiple menus, etc. I did the systematic uninstall here. Re-downloaded, re-installed. Very frustrating...any thoughts?

I have a similar problem. Often, but not always, when iTunes initiates it acts like a new, first time installation. When it opens, I have to reset preferences and when synching Outlook I am told iPhone is synched to another account. NOPE, I don't have any other account or computer.
I appreciate any help.

Itunes acting really weird then crashes

When i'm using itunes to update my ipod touch and add songs sometimes it will act weird and the fonts all change and stuff disappears then itunes crashes. I have the newest version of itunes

Hey VK
Thanks for the quick response.
I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
6. Choose it to be set at bottom
Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

Can iTunes act as UPnP music server?

Hello,
I fail to find out if iTunes can act as UPnP music server
and if not, if it is planned to do so.
More and more wi-fi radios (like Roku) can connect to your
PC and stream the music from there provided that your
music server supports UPnP.
Many thanks for any hint...

No, iTunes itself does not work as a UPnP server, though other such servers can pull from the iTunes library, presuming of course that you import your tracks in a format such a server can handle. Whether or not Apple has any plans for iTunes to ever support UPnP, no one here will know or can say.

I have found my old ipod (which was linked to itunes on a computer gone years ago w/ an itunes act I dont remembe). Currently the songs are visible and I can play them on itunes but I cannot sync them into my current library. How do I sync both systems?

I have tried to: sync the songs, organize the library and consolidate files, copy and paste songs
Nothing has worked so far.
Also when my ipod comes up in my computer, the songs are not present there.
Any help is much appreciated.

This "original file cannot be found" thing 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, or that 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.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. 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, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Updating ipod .. itunes acting weird

When I plug in my ipod it will automatically start yo update. But now, it refuses to update and it says "Songs on the ipod 'kiwi'(my ipod name) cannot be updated because all of th3e playlists selected for synching no longer exist."
What is going on? I need immediate help because I'm elaving tomorrow.
PS: It took all my songs off my ipod. :S

This problem arises when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist (or playlists) it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting and checking what playlists you want to send to the iPod:

ITunes acting weird regarding putting album onto iPhone 5

Hi all.
So here's my problem, which I will elaborate more if the title of this discussion isn't clear (which probably isn't):
I have an album on iTunes that I was trying to put on my iPhone 5 today. I had it on my phone for a while, then I can't see it on my phone but iTunes says I still have it on my phone. I tried playing a selection from the album from my phone via iTunes but an exclamation mark appeared next to the selection (and the remainder ones after trying to do the same thing). I then tried to put the album back into my phone but it wouldn't allow me, saying that "iTunes cannot add any songs to (my phone) because it already contains the songs from the album", which is not true at all because the entire album isn't even on my phone.
I have the latest version of iTunes if that helps. Also, I don't have iTunes match, and I don't plan on having it in the near future.
Is there a way to resolve this, or is it possible to delete the invisible album from my phone?
Thanks, and I hope I made this issue as clear as possible!

No such thing as a *simple few clicks with the iPhone* period! You cannot use your music as a ring tone. If you buy a ring tone from iTunes (or anywhere else) make sure it's under 30 seconds long or else it wont work. ( I just wasted .99 on a ringtone that was 1.43 long and can't use it ) Then if you do manage to finally get a tone synced to your iPhone you'll soon discover that it *REMOVES* all your music from your phone! Tried putting my music back and it removed the new ringtone! I'm personally dealing with this issue now What's worse is what you have to go through to make the new purchased ringtone useable on your iPhone. Like, renaming the music file from *m4a* to m4r* It's a total PITA and I'm ******!!!
As for adding individual pictures to your iPhone. I can't help you there because I've yet to figure it out. I've had an iPhone for 2yrs now.

Itunes acting up in one user

Hello all,
I have two users in my mac and iTunes is getting ridiculously slow in one of the users. With he other user is fast as it should be, no complains. I tried deleting the preference file (plist) and import all over again like starting from scratch without any luck at all.
Is there anyone with the same problem?
I'm open to any suggestion.
Thanks,
Alex.

Well never mind my first theory. Turns out I had only 'my processes' showing in the other user instead of ALL.
It's there, both users... the evil kernel_task eating up 1GB of my RAM.
Hungry bastages!

ITunes acts weird when syncronizing.

All of the songs in my iTunes library are on my fifth generation iPod. When I sync to iTunes it seems to remove about 100-105 song then re-syncs them to my iPod, the songs are always still on my iPod they aren't missing after this odd occurrence. It also does this with my brothers second generation iPod nano with the same songs. I recently reformatted my hard drive and used the back up discs to restore my iTunes library. What is going on, it did not do this prior to the reformat. Is it just vista or what? Is there a fix? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Had something similar occur myself. Loaded Itunes version 7.2 yesterday and when I tried to sync my 1.82 Nano, got a message that there was insufficient space on the ipod to even just put one song on there from the library. The only way I could get music on to it was by using my playlists, but could not sync all of them and could only load approx 370 songs onto the Nano instead of the normal 450 + artwork I can normally store. Also, Itunes started independently creating it's own playlists entitled Ipod selection #2, #3 etc taken ad hoc from the library, irrespective of whether these songs had been ticked for selection. Managed to delete one of these playlists but there is another in the 'Devices' folder which is impossible to amend or delete. Have been advised to restore the ipod to factory settings but am wondering if this will lose me music. Maybe restoring it may work for you if you've not already tried it?
Can anyone help?

PLEASE READ ITUNES ACTING Weird

I recently dicovered that my itunes hadnt been functional when i had installed nortan anti virus. so i uninstall then reinstalled and now when i run the program the liscence agreement pops up for 2 seconds then disapeers so i cant access itunes please help.

You might have spyware then, if your iTunes is malfunctioning like this.
Reinstall Norton, but Disable it when you use iTunes.
Download Ewido FIRST, it's an anti-malware scanner that keeps things from screwing around with iTunes. after you run a full system scan (may take 15-30 minutes), reinstall Norton, then try opening iTunes and see if it functions okay.
Repost this if there are any more problems with this, otherwise please mark this Solved so other users know what to do in this situation

Itunes acting strange--airtunes connectivity

i have just moved into my new apartment and i am trying to set up my airtunes with all the same components that it worked with before the move. all the wires are placed in the right place and function ok. my airport express works fine for using internet. i plugged the proper cords in the airport and opened itunes...no drop down box in the corner for airtunes. the correct box is checked in the itunes advanced menu. i have tried everything from restarting the computer, restarting the airport, updating the airport, etc. my comp has all of the latest updates. one thing i found a little strange is that if i unplug the airpot and then plug it back in while itunes is open, the box appears and i an select my airtunes network, however, it fails in attempting to connect to it. also, it makes the entire functionability of the comp slow down and eventually freeze. i had to reboot once. if i close itunes and open it back up again, the airtunes box in itunes is gone. please help me! i am happy to answer any questions!!! -Joe

I just wanted to express that this exact problem has been happening to me as well.
It is so annoying as each time the whole music contents and the playlists as deleted somehow, I have gotten to the task of redoing the whole thing again.
But I just had the fifth occurrence.
Please when somebody figures this out, let me know.
One other observation is that as soon as I open the itunes program, suddently, in the recycle bin there appears something as if it has been recently deleted. As I open the recycle bin, it contains two items of the iTunes program. However, this is done automatically. Anyway, I try to restore it and then I am prompted that the two items already exist. So are they copies that the program makes and then deletes automatically, and in the process, eliminates all the music and playlists in the program?
Help!

ITunes acts like it's authorizing my computer...

but won't for some reason. after i "authorize" my mac, it says 1 out of 5 computers authorized. then when i try to play a purchased song, it wants me to enter my password to authorize my machine all over again. this is nutso...
also, it won't download the newest killers album, saying that the file isn't found. maybe the itunes servers are messed up at the moment?

I am having the EXACT same problem. It happened right after I bought the Killers Album... I bought it -- but I cant download it. I get an error every time. It asks me to authorize over and over. It appears as though it plays after - but no sound comes out...
I am on hold with Apple Support

ITunes acts like I haven't installed it...

I don't know what the problem is, but it's gotten to where every time I open iTunes on my computer, I get the dialog you get when you first download iTunes asking if it wants me to use my WMA files, etc.
I've had iTunes for awhile, and I don't know what the problem is. When I connect my iPod, it always says that some of the content I have on my iPod isn't in my library, and it transfers over. That wouldn't be all bad, but it's consistently the same stuff that transfers over on a consistent daily basis whenever I open iTunes.
Did I explain that well enough? Can anyone offer any assistance to me?
