Itunes crashes on addition of artwork to movie folder and apple tv (2nd generation) will not see itunes while itunes plays playlist over wireless network to airport express??

I have 4 non apple pc exhibiting same issue. Whether you have ten movies on board the pc or 500 on external storage Itunes locks up after you "get info" and try to add video cover from IMDB whether the art is in my pictures on PC or off USB key / external storage. Very frustrating to the extent that I bought a macbook thinking that it may be a non apple issue and bingo same issue whether films on macbook or on nas/ external usb. Effectively itunes may be made to crash by adding artwork!
2nd Issue noticed at weekend I have a small music library of approx. 35gb music in itunes music folder when a playlist was being played within itunes and airplay was selected to an airport express that is connected to distributed music system in house all works well during party. Guest have access to DJ app via remote app or control of content being player. My kids disappeared into the front room and while playlist on notices 2 things. The ipod touch ( 4 mths old) would not connect to apple tv player 2nd generation while airplay on to music system and the infra red remote remote worked fine but apple tv would not see video files in itunes while airplay on. When airplay disabled all absolutley fine , re- enabled airplay and apple tv bumped again. I have a wireless N router and have successfully had 2 apple tv 2nd generation working off itunes video files without issue. There are delays but both are seen in remote app and both players see itunes folders. I would have thought video streaming to apple tv players sucked up more bandwidth that one airplay to airport express and one apple tv 2nd gen.
Anyone experienced same

OK - I managed to fix this. Will document for others.
I started to think it was a firewall thing. So I turned off both my Windows 7 firewall and my BT Home hub firewall. It started working!
So turned back on the BT home hub firewall - still working. So it must be a windows 7 firewall.
Went in and checked that Itunes was there as an exception... Yep. So why still not working?
Found out that the entry in my Windows 7 firewall said I-Tunes - but when you looked at the details button it wasnt pointing to a program - it was just blank.
So added a new entry and pointed that at the I-Tunes exe file.
Now all working...

    iPhone 5 won't reboot past Apple logo. It will not show up in iTunes to perform a restore.After the logo appears the phone will get switched of by its own. I updated my phone 2 days before.

    The iPhone can only be serviced in the country where it has been bought, and it can't be shipped internationally to Apple Support, you'll or somebody else have to bring it personally. If you registered the phone with your Apple ID, you might not need the receipt, Apple Support should have your data.
    Did you try to set it back to factory settings without using any backup afterwards?

    Hello Jane Benstock,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.

  • Apple TV 2nd generation purchases not showing in iTunes

    I just got the Apple TV 2nd generation for Christmas.  I just last week purchased on the Apple TV the old movie Footloose and the new movie Footloose.  I can see them and play them all I want on the apple tv but they don't appear in iTunes on my computer (either in movies or in purchased on apple tv). 
    On the apple tv they don't appear in my library but when i go into movies and search purchased, they appear there and there is a little cloud next to it. 
    I can see my itunes movie library on the apple tv.
    My apple tv is connected to my computer and the apple id for both my apple tv and computer is the same. 
    Why is this happening? Shouldn't I be able to see my purchases on my apple tv in itunes so that I can download the movie to itunes and put on my ipad or iphone for viwing?

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.  Then, try going to the menu item "store" (i think that's it, not at my computer) and "check for available downloads."  If that works great, if not, go to the iTunes Store within iTunes, look on the right for the new Purchased section.  You should be able to download your media from there.  After the download(s) complete they will be seen in iTunes and Apple TV via the Computer > Movies sections.

  • How do i watch movies on my APPLE TV 2nd generation that I rented on itunes 11??

    It used to have a function to MOVE on my first Generation Apple TV and on my second generation it would just appear on apple TV since it was streaming...
    what has changed this function???????  Please help

    You do not... the ATV is a streaming device.  No content is stored on it.
    If you desire to watch that content on a computer via iTunes download it and watch it.

  • Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

    My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(!  All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads.  I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings.  When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music.  If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles.  I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off.  Can anyone help me please?   I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod.    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    First, don't obsess over it.  If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty.  Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
    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.

  • HT1925 I am using windows XP and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5.  My iPhone 5 with current operating system will not link with my iTunes. It states I needed the newer version of iTunes. But I have been unable to update --automatic or manual. How do I update

    I am using an older windows computer with Windows XP and iTunes 11.0.5.5.  Since upgrading my iPhone and iPad my system will not allow me to connect the devices to my iTunes -- it notes I need to upgrade to iTunes 11.5.  However using automatic updates or manual update I can not update iTunes -- I get an error message the older windows iTunes could not be removed. I can not remove iTunes using control panel -- an older install/uninstall file is evidently missing. All of my music is contained on my PC -- more music is on my PC than I store on my other devices and I don't want to loose those music files nor permission to access those music files. Does anyone have a solution to uninstalling and upgrading windows iTunes without losing my music. I would like to be able to connect my iPhone and iPad to my PC again. RS

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

    Hi,
    I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick  10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
    I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

  • Ipod "5th generation" will not sync to updated itunes

    My new ipod touch will not sync with itunes. i restores it so the old stuff on my itunes is on it but now that i have added new music, it will not sync at all. How can i fix this?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. That makes the new iTunes look like the old one. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Emac will not see nano in itunes

    I have a emac running 10.3 so I am unable to download itunes 8. I am confused as to why I cannot get itunes 7 to sync with my nano I purchased for Christmas. Is their a itunes update that will work in 10.3 for the nano as I do not want to by 10.4 so I can use my nano I purchased.

    OS X 10.4.x is no longer available.
    If you have a 3rd or 4th Generation iPod Nano they are not compatible with 10.3. Says so on the box.

  • My iPod touch will not connect to the itunes app!

    Hi, my ipod touch(4th generation) will not connect to the itunes app, app store, or the internet. It is connected to my wifi and shows full bars with connectivity. However when I click on the itunes app it takes to a blank white screen and says it is loading. It stays on that screen for about 5 minutes and then a little blue box pops up and says unable to connect to itunes store. I don't understand this because I also have an Ipad 2 connected to the same wifi and that has no problem connecting to the itunes store or internet. So I don't understand why my iPad can get on itunes while my iPod can't, when they are on the same wifi connection. Can anyone please help me!!!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Itunes will not see Slvr

    I am running the latest Itunes and now Itunes will not see Slvr. It will sync my address book and calendars but will not see slvr in Itunes. This is a Cingular phone. I hope someone has a fix.

    I'm having the same issue. I called Apple and they weren't able to help. This is crazy. The phone isn't even a year old. Is this just a gimmick to get us to buy the new iPhone?
    I tried all the fixes outlined on another post and nothing works.
