Itunes and Mac Pro Problem -- Help Please
Having a really strange problem and could use some help.
I've got a Mac Pro with my wife's Ipod attached. Updating songs on the Ipod has become very, very slow. Literally, it's taking hours to move over a couple of albums.
Just out of curiousity, I hooked it up to a Macbook Pro in the house and everything was just fine. Tried reinstalling itunes on the Mac Pro and it didn't do it the trick.
All machines are intel based. Other peripherals are working fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Itunes has encountered a problem. help please?
ok this is making me really angry. i am obsessed with itunes and now mine doesnt work. when i click on the icon a little box comes up saying:: itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. blah blah. and then if you click see what the data report contains it says--- this error report includes information regarding the condition of itunes when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use- your digital product ID. which could be used to identify your license and the internet protocal address of your computer... and there's more..
I NEED HELP NOW i'm desperate. it's really bothering me i've deleted my itunes three times completly off my computer and downloaded it again and the same thing comes up... help pleasee!!!??
thanks so much
---I have the new version of itunes installed. and I uninstalled it by going into add or remove programs and deleted it completely off my computer. I reinstalled it by downloading the new version of itunes off the website.. also I'm not quite sure whether my itunes is external or secondary drive.. i'm thinking external..hi Alessia!
actually, that's a good sign. the registry issues are tricky ...
okay, let's try to cleanly remove all your itunes and quicktime program files and folders. use the full uninstallation instructions given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
and use the windows cleanup utility if you run into trouble.
then download and save a standalone QT 7 installer to your hard drive. we'll run the installation from there. here's a link through to a standalone:
Scott Patrie, "Installation hangs on "installing QuickTime"", 10:33pm Oct 7, 2004 CDT
after you've got that installed, download and save a new itunes installer to your hard drive. then run the installation from there, skipping the QT part of the install when given the option.
keep us posted on your progress.

I really want help! cheers!I also had this problem last week. in the meantime, I have upgraded Itunes in Maverick. when i connected this am - it took about 15 minutes for the connected iPod to show in itunes with message " ITunes cannot read the information on this IPod" there was an "OK" button underneath the message. select OK. the iPod will show as empty onscreen and a prompt to reset to factory settings. I reset to factory settings - ejected iPod - restarted computer - connected iPod - ITunes then treated my iPod as "new" - for setup. now after sync - ALL IS FINE AGAIN...

Itunes and Ipod Nanos! HELP PLEASE!
In my family we have 4 ipod nanos. 2 of them are the older versions and are like the skinny ones and the other 2 are the more square looking ones. Well Itunes will no longer open on our computer. If I delete it from the computer and then re download it will I be able to get my songs that are on the ipods right now to the new itunes?
Thanks!bsktbllshlb wrote:

Uninstalling and reinstalling a new version of iTunes shouldn't affect the music folder on your computer (and in any event, you do have a back up right?).
However, if you find you need to transfer music from iPod to iTunes, there are various 3rd party programs that will do this.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
If you have music purchased from the iTunes store on your iPod, then you can transfer it from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing. -
Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls againThe Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):

Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:

Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it. -

I've downloaded the newest version of softwear to my iTunes libary (iOS 10.5 i believe) iTunes store now dosn't function right and i'm not able to sync. my iPod 4G with my libary. i've tried to reinstall iTunes, but for no use. help please.
well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new. -
I have an original Ipad, I tired to update it, but during the update it gave me an error message (1602) an now it just has a picture of itunes and a ubs cord? Please help!!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.
Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.

Run software update, starting with the one above.
Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP -
