Itunes going crazy

did the recent upDate and now it seems i'm getting i guess what you call drop outs when playing my tunes.
even if i scroll my library it makes my tunes go nuts, like i'm scratching like a dj with vinyl.
never did this before.......

Maybe the itunes library.itl file is corrupted.
See if rebuilding it fixes it.
Try this. Stop iTunes. Rename the itunes library.itl to itunes library.old.
Now start iTunes. Your library will be empty. Drag some of those songs over that haven't been playing correctly- are they OK now?
If that doesn't work, you can just reverse the process. Stop iTunes, delete the itl file with just the few songs in it.
Rename itunes library.old back to itunes library.itl. You'll be back where you started.

    My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Help!!! When ever i open my itunes store the sound/volume goes crazy Please help

    Update your safari.  Install this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
    The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not.

  • ITunes volume goes crazy

    This is driving me nuts! The volume fluxuates up and down whilst playing a song. To be clear, I am not talking about volume differences between songs. If I am listening to a song (could be one I bought through iTunes Store or one I have burnt from my CD collection), and the volume goes crazy. It's like I have the volume knob and I am turning it up and down myself.
    Any ideas?
    Linkoln

    I noticed the same problem recently - voulme goes up and down randomly in the same song... and expecially playing the songs purchased on iTunes...
    I hope to receive an answer to solve the situation as is not just a matter to activate the Volume check in preferences....

  • I cannot sync or backup my iphone4 to itunes.  I'm going crazy!!!

    I cannot sync or backup my iphone 4 to itunes.  I'm going crazy!!!  Please tell me how to fix this problem.

    Hi Zmajev,
    If you are having syncing issues after an update to iTunes 11.2.2.5, you may want to try updating to the most recent version (iTunes 11.3, which was just released yesterday) and see if the issues still persist. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Scroll bar goes crazy and active window jumps around in size - Help

    I've got iTunes 7.0.5 installed. If I use iTunes for any length of time, my system goes crazy. The scroll bar on whatever program I make active goes up and down like mad, while the content of the active window shrinks and magnifies in size multiple times a second. It's very bizarre and consistently happens only when I run iTunes for some length of time. I have no problem if I choose Windows Media Player. It's very disturbing, as I can no longer use iTunes. Any help in knowing how to fix the problem, or even to trouble shoot it further, would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are a couple of thoughts on the Timeline scrolling and other possible display issues:
    1.) make sure that you have the very latest video driver - the very latest
    2,) if you have Vista, turn Aero and Sidebar off
    3.) if you have Window Blinds, get the very latest version
    4.) if you have an InteliPoint mouse driver, try removing it, and using the standard Windows mouse driver instead*
    5.) if you have a laptop and both the touch-pad and a mouse are installed and ON, turn the touch-pad OFF
    These are some suggestions that might affect your display issues.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * The MS InteliPoint has caused many display issues with Adobe products. Most often, these have manifested themselves in flashing GUI's and similar, but other odd behaviors have been experienced. If the removal of InteliPoint does help, try the very latest version, but be ready to revert to the standard Windows mouse driver.

  • Problem with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, the mac goes crazy!

    I have a problem with mi imac g5 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) bought the last year.
    During the last week the system are wrong because when I open a aplication like itunes, illustrator or another one like a simple navigator "Firefox", somethimes this goes crazy, the keyboard write diferent and the finder folder open and close really really slow, and sometimes not even that, and everything goes bad, so I have to close the session or to restart the computer, I already reinstall the software, but nothing goes better It´s the same...It`s really maddening because in the 5 hours more or less I have to restart 4 times! depend of the day...
    I reed that The software Lion and Mountain Lion have many mistakes, it`s really?maybe it`s one of them?
    Anyone have the same problem? Maybe I have to restart again all the computer with all the programs? Or someone Knows with is the problem and the answer?
    Thanks a lot!
    I hope you understand me...

    Is OSX Lion not the same as OSX Mountain Lion?
    Correct. You would need to upgrade to Mountain Lion to be able to utilitize AirPlay with your Apple TV.
    Make sure your Mac can run Mountain Lion >  System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
    Moutain Lion can be purchased from the  Mac App Store - OS X Mountain Lion for $19.99 (U.S.)
    A good way to discern one OS X from another is the version number.
    Lion   OS X v10.7
    Mountain Lion   OS X v10.8
    To see which version your Mac has installed, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

  • I need help...im going crazy!!!!

    I have been usings my ipod mini for about 7 months now,an 2 days ago i tried to upload cd's to it.now for some reason it wont connect to my computer.i updated it already too an that didnt work an i also reset it an still nothing.i am going crazy trying to figure this out can someone please help me without having to delete itunes off my computer because then i lose my 800 songs!

    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
    And fyi, deleting iTunes from the computer does not cause you to lose the songs. The iTunes music folder remains unaffected.

  • Touchscreen going crazy

    My phone is going crazy! Sometimes the touch screen will not register the letters I am pressing and randomly presses letters by itself. The phone will open apps by itself without me even touching it, open emails etc. I seriously want to throw it! I just got the phone brand new from Apple about 4 months ago or so. I end up having to shut the phone down for a few minutes but lately, even that isn't fixing the problem. I've synced my phone and updated all apps. Is anyone else having a similar problem or know a solution?

    I have never had the same or similar problem.
    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after the last step, the iPhone includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • HT5262 my ipad mini screen is going crazy

    My ipad mini screen has started going crazy. It's zooms in and out, changes pages and moves all by itself.

    Hi just4dana,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad mini is behaving unexpectedly, I recommend restarting or resetting it:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article with these steps here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Reset iPhone settings

  • Can't install 7.5, going crazy.

    This is very frustrating, I've been at it for a couple of days.
    Clicked to automatically upgrade Itunes. Downloaded and seemed to install fine. When I clicked on Itunes, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds, then it dissapears. Nothing happens. Quicktime opens fine.
    I uninstalled, erased files, used windows clean up utitility, reinstalled, nothing changed.
    I did everything here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    No luck.
    I found this post, and did everything, and still nothing:
    Got it to work after spending almost the entire weekend messing about with install combinations: this is what work for me when my ipod Touch was not recognised due to "required software" not being installed...
    1) uninstall everything (i mean any iTunes or Quicktimes) fully including checking with the windows install cleanup utility
    2)restart your computer
    3) Unpackage the iTunes 7.5 bundle in a folder onto the desktop, using WinRar
    4) Install other components before the iTunes itself...
    i ran QuickTime.msi, and then AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, then AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (i don't think the order matters and im not going to
    try other combinations as it's working for me!)
    5) then run iTunes.msi
    6) and after finishing, it started and recognised my iPod touch
    hope this actually helps someone, as i've been reading these sites for hours.
    good luck

    I'm not sure what to do. At this point I'm just going in circles. I'd like to get access to my music and use my ipod again.
    In short, recurring symptoms: Click on itunes, get hourglass, nothing happens.
    Oh and I tried installing an older version of Itunes I had.
    Any help/suggestions? I'm going crazy.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've been fighting the same battle the past 2 days, but when I followed these numbered directions above I thought it would work. Wrong, it still said "A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue".
    One of the things I noted on the iTunes support page is that VBscript must be installed, and I thought I had it since I have the file: (C:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll).
    Anyway, I downloaded VBscript 5.7 from the Microsoft web site, ran the installation, rebooted, and tried reinstalling just the iTunes.msi as described in step 5 since I'd already installed the other components. The install worked this time. I was flabbergasted! Trust me on this, I must have spent 10-12 hours trying everything to uninstall old components, clean up files & directories, and remove all possible registry entries manually, and I could not get past the error message saying I already had a newer version. Only after installing VBscript was I able to get iTunes installed and running!
    It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to spend so much time and effort to run a simple software install that should have taken 10 minutes. The developers who thought it was a good idea requiring VBscript be installed on the host machine ought to flogged!

  • Suddenly the screen goes crazy

    I live in India and have just received my iPad 64 gb wifi model from the US.
    My iPad suddenly goes crazy and automatically different parts of the screen are being pressed randomly.
    To get rid of the problem I have to switch of the iPad fro the problem to stop. This problem occurs randomly.
    I have attached the zagg Screen guard. my sister too has an iPad and has attached the screen guard but she is not facing any problem.
    Is the piece faulty?
    Is there a virus?
    Pls help, because if I need the iPad to be replaced I will have to send it back to the united states. My brother brought the piece directly from the apple store.

    I few other people have reported similar problems. At least one had their replaced when they went to an Apple and they say it misbehaving.
    The first thing to do is to do a hard reset-
    Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same
    time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be a restore from backup from iTunes
    The last would be restore to factory new condition via Itunes.
    If none of those work then it is probably a hardware problem. If the Ipad has already been released in India then you should just be able to bring it to a local Apple Store
