Itunes imports no matter what...

Charla,
If you're using iTunes 5 or later select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing > On CD Insert. Ensure that neither the Import Songs or Import Songs and Eject options are selected.
In earlier versions of iTunes these options can be found in iTunes > Preferences > General > On CD Insert, I think.

ITunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded the software, itunes opens no matter what program I am using and when I close it , it will just reopen over whatever I am using. this is very annoying!!!!

iTunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded my software, itunes opens no matter what program I am trying to use. If I close it it automatically opens moments later and interferes with what I am working on. This is so annoying

This is probably occuring because your Mac is attempting to wirelessly sync with a device. Try unchecking the checkbox that reads "Open iTunes when device is connected" (this option can be found under the general page of iTunes when you have a device connected).

My ipod syncs but will not show anything or play any music or videos.I have tried everything possible,rebooting the ipod reinstalling itunes but no matter what I try it will not show music or videos on my device,it keeps telling me it is empty.Help!

Ok my ipod touch syncs but not properly,I see a little icon on both itunes and the ipod rolling,itunes shows me that I have less memory available on my ipod after I sync which coresponds well in terms of memory with the ammount of songs I am loading to the ipod but I never see what I think I should see when I sync which is "do not disconnect......". I have tried rebooting the ipod and reinstalling itunes but to no avail. My ipod is brand new and everything works but for loading music and videos.I run itunes from windows xp. Help please!!

I can't connect to the itunes store no matter what! there's always a connection error what should I do?

Could you post your diagnostics for the PC for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than Network connectivity tests, as per the following screenshot:

I bought a song on iTunes and no matter what I do it won't download.

It's just constantly stuck on "zero KB of 8.6 MB". I'm able to purchase and download other songs and podcasts with no problem though, any help would be much appreciated.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Cannot install iTunes 9 no matter what I do

I have been trying to install iTunes 9 for the past few days and with no luck.
I keep getting the same error message.
"Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. The GEAR AspiWDM service used by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again"
I've deleted and uninstalled everything to try and do a clean install but still get the same message.
Is there any way I can get this issue resolved or does anyone know of a better solution to remedy this?

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

I can't access itune store not matter what I do. I have uninstalled the program twice and downloaded with no resolve.

I am having difficulty accessing ITUNE STORE. The home screen for that page is blank. I have tried to uninstall and download twice and nothing changes. Everything else seems to be working with the program except accessing the store.

Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often are due to firewalls, Internet privacy filters, and similar utilities blocking the connection. Run the Network Diagnostics in iTunes:

and post the results here. That may provide some clues.

Exporting at HIGHEST quality - iTunes IMPORTING preferences?

Does the iTUNES IMPORTING preferences matter? I am exporting UNcompressed so I can give songs to a Master Engineer. What should my itune settings be at?
or should i share another way?
Thank you!

Yes - If you're delivering a mix to a mastering engineer, do not share to iTunes! Export to Disk instead.
Generally, when you deliver something to a mastering engineer, you want it to be as unprocessed as possible. iTunes is a fantastic consumer-oriented playback application. But for sending audio in and out of iTunes on its way to a mastering engineer, it’s Hogwarts - full of mysterious nooks and crannies that could inadvertently transform your audio without you realizing it. Plus, it's completely unnecessary and avoidable.
So to take steps to ensure the highest (and most unadulterated) quality possible, first turn off auto normalize in GB’s advanced preferences, if you haven't already done so.
Then, if you've chosen any presets for your Master Track, remove them (adding these kind of finalizing effects is exactly what the mastering engineer does; the presets in Garageband are a quick and easy alternative, but you have the real thing).
Finally, under the Share Menu, choose Export Song to Disk. And, of course, don't compress.

No matter what itunes import settings, I select its always MP3

Hey guys, Ive been downloading music from youtube. No matter what import settings I choose it always downloads as MP3. Ive tries selecting ACC, and apple lossless nothing changes.
Also what is the best music format for quality, I dont care about file size. Thanks!!!!

Johnrambo66 wrote:
Ok thanks guys this helped, I have heard you can't attach cover art to WAV files so I don't want that. So would apple lossless, or aiff be better?
Either one. Apple Lossless is ~50%-60% of WAV/AIFF size.
Oh and do you guys know of a youtube converter that allows you to download file other than mp3 ?
You can only donwload files in whatever format they are.
Once it is downloaded you can convert it.
But if it is downloaded MP3, don't convert it to anything else. You will simply reduce the quality or greatly increase the file size (with no gain in quality).

Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

Hi
I;m having so itunes match issues.
I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected] files back on my pc!
I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

Thanks for the helpful replies.
My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
Ok so I will.. Err,
A wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
B Correct my local tracks genres
C Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
Thanks again
Iain

I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc. But iTunes will now not open no matter what I try and do. Please help me!!!!!!!!

I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc but now I cannot open iTunes not matter what I try and do.
Very frustrating. Have read the trouble shooting info on Apple website but nothing has worked.
Someone please help. I cannot access any of my music.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

I have the first iPad, and it keeps crashing no matter what program(safari) app (iTunes) or game I use. I check the updates regularly and I'm up to date. Why does it keep crashing and how can I fix it?

I have the first iPad (which is considered ancient). I'll open safari and no matter what I'm searching after a few minutes it crashes (it will close safari and bring me back to the main app screen). The last few days I've been searching song on iTunes, and I have the same issue. It closes my iTunes and brings me to the main app screen.
I have checked my updates and everything is current for this iPad. It's a 64gb iPad with 54gb of available space so I know it's not a storage issue.
Does anyone have some pointers on how to keep it from crashing all the time?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
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. Release the Buttons.
