ITunes doesn't want to share.

Trying to put together a simple slideshow. Under settings, I wanted to choose a song from iTunes. When I select iTunes from the dropdown it says "open iTunes to see your music" or something to that effect. iTunes IS open and everything is in its place as far as I can tell. Any suggestions?

Itunes doesn't want to add a m4a.mp3 audio file

Hi everybody, a friend of mine sent me some university lessons she recorded on her computer. They are m4a.mp3 files and Itunes doesn't want to read them or add them on my Ipod 6th generation. What can I do? Thanks in advance guys!

Hi Caminouflet,
.m4a and .mp3 are two different file formats. If they are actually .m4a files, the .mp3 at the end of the file name may be confusing iTunes as to how they should be played. For more information about file formats in iTunes, you may find the following articles helpful:

The new Itunes doesn't want to install on my pc. What can I do?

The new Itunes doesn't want to install on my pc. What can I do?

It happening to me too. Not only is it prompting "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services", now everytime I restart my computer, it prompted something about runtime error. Tried starting up itunes also prompted the same runtime error. I have to uninstall all the component following the instruction from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 in order to get rid of the runtime error.

Go further down on the same screen and look for more information. (I do not remember the exact words) Upon clicking on it a new page opens in Safari for instructions, including opening Terminal under Utilities, etc. Then you will have to add # and a space to one of the lines. Then save and restart the computer. It worked for me. I am sorry I do not remember the exact sequence of these steps. Hope this helps you.

ITunes doesn't want to open...

Hi,
Recently iTunes has not been opening. After my computer logs on (Windows 7 Home Premium x64), I click the shortcut for iTunes in my taskbar, but it doesn't open. The process is running in Task Manager, and Bonjour Service is also running. Then, when I try to end iTunes.exe process, it doesn't end. I have to wait about 10 minutes after hitting End Task until the process ends, and then after it ends, iTunes opens fine. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have iTunes 11.1.3.8.
Thanks!

Howdy there noahm1996,
It sounds like you are getting some unexpecteded performance issues when trying to open iTunes. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Create a new user account
By creating a new user account, you can determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.
Open iTunes and see if the issue you're experiencing persists in this new user account.
If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting" section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.

Itunes doesn't show Home Share words or list of other authorized computers

I have "turned on" Home Share. I have authorized a second computer. When logged in to the second computer, the Itunes screen does not show the option Home Share, or show the names of the authorized computers. So, no sharing of music is possible. What is the fix for this, please? The Help catalog does not answer the question.

I don't know if you've done this already, but you need to:
Turn on "home sharing" turned on all of the relevant computers;
Make sure the computers have to be on the same network;
You just turned on "Home Sharing", some people report that they had to quit iTunes and restart it before "Home Sharing" worked; and
If those previous steps failed to solve the problem, you might want to check the firewall settings on each of the computers to ensure that UDP Port 5353 (which allows the computers to see each other and appear in iTunes on the other computers) and TCP Port 3689 (which allows the actual "Home Sharing" features to work) are both enabled.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1601 for how to configure the default Windows firewall. If you're running a third party firewall (sometimes part of your antivirus software), the particulars of opening the appropriate ports on the firewall may differ.
If you think the problem may be a firewall issue and you're not 100% comfortable with how to "open ports", a quick test would be to temporarily disable the firewall on both machines, restart iTunes on both machines, and see if it works. This is just a test to see if the firewall is the problem, but you should promptly turn your firewall on again and if "Home Sharing" worked while the firewalls were turned off, you just need to proceed with the particulars of opening these two ports on both machines. I've also seen people open the port in their default Windows firewall, but neglect to realize that they might have two firewalls (e.g., neglect to check their antivirus software's firewall). Unfortunately, the particular instructions on how to open the firewall ports will vary from one firewall software package to another. But if you have problems, let us know what firewall software you're running and someone can probably help. (Or just check with your firewall vendor.)
Hope this helps.

Help, itunes doesn't want to work with airtunes and my airport express!

Strangely specific problem with playing itunes using airtunes. Just connected an Airport express to my time capsule. All the software and firmware is up to date, and I'm streaming from itunes to an airport express connected to a stereo. My itunes is on a laptop. My library is on the time capsule. Almost everytime the song changes, the audio drops out and stays out until I pause and replay the song. It's the weirdest thing. There are no random audio drops, just a failure to keep playing when the song switches (and it doesn't happen every time, just some of the time). This is similar but not the same as the problems other folks are having with airport express and itunes audio drop outs. Does anyone have a solution?

Problem solved. Upgrading to most recent itunes relased yesterday seems to have fixed the problem.

ITunes doesn't want to copy my iPod games

Hello.
I have a 160GB Classic iPod and I bought some time ago two games, Sims Bowling and Sims Pool. Since then I think I changed my apple account email and changed from one pc to another.
It's been a long time since I synced the iPod and now I have Windows 7. I copied all folders and files from XP to win7 and everything was working fine with my music library.
Today I wanted to sync to the iPod a new album I just added to the library and got one message saying that this computer was not authorized to play downloaded music and I updated the email and the password and worked OK. But I got another message saying that the iPod games were not copied to the iPod because I am not authorized to do that. In fact the games were not copied.
How can I fix this problem? I did buy these games.
Thanks for any help.

Here's what I did.
I have the old XP partition as a dual boot with win7. I started the PC in XP and copied the itunes folder back to the XP partition from win7 (I deleted all user files from the XP partiion), then authorized again that "computer" and synced the iPod. The games were copied.
That is a workaround, not a solution. I need to sync the ipod fully in my win7 partition.
How can I do that?

ITunes doesn't want to eject a CD...for a while, anyway.

I burn two music CDs each week (church service CD for shut-ins). A few months ago, I noticed that iTunes (currently v10.5.2) would not eject the CD by using the eject icon beside the title in the side-bar. Nor would the eject key on the keyboard. Same with the Finder display. However, if I was able to immdeiately click the eject icon when the new disk appeared in iTunes, it would eject...usually. But if I delayed more than a few seconds it was impossible.
I checked the prefs in iTunes and the only ones that seemed related were "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the Internet" and "Automatically download missing artwork..." Since the track names are generic (Message, opening prayer, hymn #123, etc.) I seriously doubt that there are any available tracks out there. Still, I UNchecked the 'retrieve' track names option. Likewise, I find it even less probable that there would be any 'artwork' available for these custom CD compilations. But I also UNchecked that option, also.
But from the sound of the drive, iTunes is very busy doing something. So I also disabled the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" option in the Advanced section. I'm not even sure what that 'media' is, if not the music file, anyway. 8-|
The only way around this frustraing delay is to wait it out (at least five minutes) or simply Quit iTunes and then try ejecting the disk. In that last method, I will get a System dialog warning that the disk is "in use" by something, even though iTunes is not running. It then takes three more clicks to finally get the disk ejected and the warnings all removed.
System info: Lion 10.7.2, iTunes 10.5.2, iMac 3.4GHz Core i7, 8GB DDR3
Just yesterday, I burned a CD on an older Mac mini running Leopard and the disk was ejectable without any apparent 'searching,' 'track name' or 'artwork' downloading, even though the mini is connected to the interwebs! ;-)
What is iTunes trying to do and how can I regain control?!! <rant>

Hi Caminouflet,
.m4a and .mp3 are two different file formats. If they are actually .m4a files, the .mp3 at the end of the file name may be confusing iTunes as to how they should be played. For more information about file formats in iTunes, you may find the following articles helpful:

ITunes doesn't want to work. Help please?

I'm not sure what version of iTunes I have but I got a new iPod touch and it says I need "iTunes 10.5 or later" but I already have it downloaded and when I tried to install it, it said "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified." And i'm not sure what i can do to make it work.
And i have Windows Vista just in case that helps.
I Hope someone can help me with my problems. Thanks for your time

this is something to do with your firewall settings which is preventing your system while installing itunes, better to get a technician if you are not good technically as you may have to disable a few options in your firewall settings
