Itunes gone crazy! Spurious feeds have suddenly appeared!

First we had the "unable to submit podcast feed" error.
Then there was (and still is) the "cover art not appearing" bug.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I present the "three extra podcast feeds that weren't there before" bug.
Try searching for "Parker Summer Sport" in the iTunes store. Up until last night this produced the "Parker Summer Of Sport" podcast, which is well and good.
Today you now also get 3 other feeds called
"Parker Podcasts99e99a"
"Parker Podcasts99e99a23"
and
"Parker Podcasts99e99a23a"
Will somebody please explain to me what in the name of Steve Jobs is going on???
This is making Apple and iTunes look extremely silly.
Is this affecting anyone else?

Don't think you can blame this one on Apple.
What/who is Iterative.com?
They have created 3 additional feeds for you which are the 99e podcasts:
http://iterative.com/podcast2007071804.xml
http://iterative.com/podcast2007071802.xml
http://iterative.com/podcast2007071901.xml
In addition to your http://brandspanking.co.uk/podcasts/parker/parkerpodcast.xml
So I think iTunes is just doing what its being told...apparently all 4 got submitted and approved.
**Scratch that.....
Actually...looking at the XML code a little more...you can blame Apple. The 3 iterative.com feeds have this:
<itunes:owner>
<itunes:name>Mark Phillips</itunes:name>
<itunes:email>[email protected]</itunes:email>
</itunes:owner>
Iterative.com is apparently the blog of Bruce Fancher maybe he used your feed in troubleshooting? Sloppy....

All of a sudden 1000 photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone and I can't delete them and can't find them in my stream either.

All of a sudden 1000 photos have suddenly appeared on my Iphone that came from my own computer and I can't delete them.

You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

Stripes have suddenly appeared on my iPhone 5 screen, it has not been dropped, how can I fix it?

Hello, blue and white stripes have suddenly appeared on my iPhone 5 screen, it has not been dropped. I can still receive calls and messages. How can I fix it?

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

What just happened? - iTunes gone crazy

So, this just happened: I opened iTunes and EVERYTHING was gone, all the songs, podcasts etc. I can find them from my computer but they seem to have disappeared from my iTunes. Is there any sensible explanation for this? Has my computer been hacked or could I have done it myself by accident?
Windows XP

Go to my documents/MyMusic/itunes/itunesMusic and see if there is anything there. if not it is a problem with XP.
If all your music is there go to edit... preferences...advanced there make sure your iTunes music location is C:\Documents and Settings\"Your computer name"\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
if not change it to that.
Still no avail File... Add folder to library... Add the above folder to library.

PLEASE PLEASE! HELP .. iTunes gone CRAZY!

I downloaded 3 videos from LOST and all downloaded fine. The next day I tried again (3 more), but my internet conection failed and the videos were left on hold.
EVERYTIME I go to ADVANCE --> Check for Purchases ...
It sort of names one by one, and then a sign pops up saying "There was an error downloading your purchased music. Unknown error has occured: -50. Please try later." ... and that's it!
I've tried for 3 days clicking non-stop and nothing... always the same crap. BUT ... if I download the next episodes to those (which I have been doing so) it downloads perfectly! .. it's just those 3.
I emailed apple support (in case you might be wondering) and their reply was horrible --they said "we apologize you couldn't find your music (music?? it's video!) and please make sure you check on your hard drive since they could be there." <-- that's a horrible answer. Of course they are not there, since they haven't even downloaded.
PLEASE I BEG OF YOU! HELP ME! ... I'm lost without lost --pleaaaaaase.

Your music files are porbably still on your PC. I suspect the iTunes Library.itl file got damaged.

Where has the side scroll bar for iTunes gone now that I have updated it?

Is there any way to change back to a layout similar to before the new 11.0.1.12 ?

to get the side bar back press CTRL+S

Play Counts have gone crazy

I am not sure what has happened but sometime over the past few weeks my play counts have gone crazy. I have songs that are reporting a play count of between 265 and 769. Obviously these are not even close to correct (especially since the next closest number is like 20). Is there any reason this might have happened? Is there any way to correct this information without resetting the play count for those tracks completely?
Thanks!

Many thanks again. I do not understand the concept of 'using the script' on the page you refer me to: I am not terribly technical! Basically, I don't understand the comment 'Save the text of this file and add the extension .js and put it in your script folder and run the script in Window > Utilites > Scripts >' How do I save the 'text of this file', and does this refer to everthing that is in the box, beginning '//blind Open' and ending '}'? What is my 'script folder' and how do I find it? Is this a folder in InDesign, or Windows (I'm running Windows 7, 64bit).
I did try to open the 124 byte file (sorry, I said 124 KB by mistake), and got an error message that it could not be opened. Also, as a check I exported a much smaller file (1244 KB, as opposed to the 'problem' file, which is 5668 KB), and the resulting file was 48 KB.
Thank you again for trying to help!

ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner

Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
(Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!

Okay ... checking something else:
Current user is not an administrator
Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
(It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.)

On my iPhone5s I have suddenly lost from calendar all my events and cannot add new ones. What has gone wrong and how do I fix it?

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears.

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

My iphone screen has gone completely blank I have tried holding down both the sleep and home buttons and nothing has happened and I have tried to connect it to my laptop but itunes will not recognise, what can I do ?

have you tried charging the device ?
if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

ITunes library gone crazy

My iTunes library on my PC is suddenly schizenophrenic. Artists, albums, songs, and artwork are no longer properly associated. I clicked on a Rev. Gary Davis song yesterday and N.W.A. started playing! The only possible cause I can think of is I recently compressed one of my hard drives to save space. However, my music library is stored on another drive. My PC is seven years old & runs WinXP. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this problem or how I might fix it?

Apps on computer but in a different folder. Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find". They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them. Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

That did the trick! Thank you.
The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
No more switching iTunes libraries for me.
