Itunes, Leopard and SMB
My entire iTunes library is stored on a NAS - an Iomega Home Network Drive. It mounts under Leopard as SMB. It supports SMB and FTP.
Browsing and writing files is possible, but flaky. I think this is a known bug in Leopard 10.5.1. I use FTP to transfer files. It's annoying, but it works.
Importing the music library into iTunes went fine, but I am not able to play back any file. Nothing happens when I click "play" or doubleclick the mp3. Also, album art does not show up.
Now it gets interesting. When I manually browse to the mp3 in the Finder and "get info" on it, suddenly iTunes sees it, the album art is displayed, and the mp3 plays. It also plays all the other mp3s in that album. This continues to works until I reboot.
Considering how large my iTunes library is, getting info on every album I want to play back is not quite an option.
I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Leopard, so I'm not expecting an answer - but is anyone else seeing behavior like this?
This issue was not fixed in 10.5.2. I have deleted my iTunes library and imported it again, but no mp3s will play. Also, it now complains that it cannot locate the file even though the share is mounted.
Anyone?

IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08
Hello:
For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
Can anybody help?Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

Itunes match and snow leopard, will the matched songs be on my macbook pro?
hi. if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop? or will they only be in the cloud and available to download to my iphone 4 with ios 5? i was getting psyched for all my old cd's that i ripped to sound way better on my macbook pro. will i also be able to make new burned cd's out of the new versions if they are on my laptop? thanks.

They have to be on your laptop to begin with as iTunes Match scans your library to match the songs you do have.
Is your "laptop" another computer besides the Macbook Pro?

Since iTunes Match has not yet been completed/released, exactly how it works has not been explained.
You have a limit of 25000 songs.
Any/all songs in your iTunes library that match what is in iTunes will be in the cloud. No need to upload them.
You can download these songs to your computer and your iPhone.
Any songs in your library that are not matched, will be uploaded to the cloud. You can download these songs and they count against the 25,000 song limit.
You can keep the originals and/or download from the cloud (for example if your originals are not 256 kbps or better). -
I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Now every time a Windows CLient try to connect to a SMB Share of SL server that take a long time about 10-15 seconds to open after that depending on client OS that could be nice for a moment (windows 7 and XP) or browsing stay very slow like for 2003 server connecting to Share on S.Leopard.
Could you please help me.
My SL are the main SMB share computer with all data it is connect like other clients to AD (SBS2003).
I have a SBS2003 server that are Master of Domain
and a Server 2008 acting like Terminal Server also member server of domain.
Here are kind of log I receive from SMBD.LOG: I suppose the Credentials problem when connecting are my explanation but how to avoid that !

Could you help me to troubleshout that problem ?

</pre>Dear CarlosGBA,
So when you put 2 computers of your network in WORKGROUP in place of DOMAIN the 38 others works fine ? Strange ?
I have about 15 computers, some are already in workgroup other are linux smb other MAC, the data server are MAC OS X SL, the problem appear for all windows machines, I have try to dissable NTLMV2 and Kerberos since it is probably the faulty element with opendirectory,but always without success !
I don't know what I can do to trouble shout, I hope next release 10.6.3 come soon and correct about all SMB problem ! Probably a dream only ! Since I ask my self if Apple want to correct something andwhy is this problem let without solutionso long ! For a company it is a big problem.I suppose that Apple never read this forum and never answer our problem ! May be I should contact the support phone to be helped !
Thanks for you help. -
have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8. -
Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and iLife '11 causes sound problems in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail
After updating my OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installing iLife '11, the sound in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail does not work. The sound in other programs like Skype does work, though. Any ideas?
You should run software update. The current version os SL is 10.6.8, several bugs were squashed and improvements made.

Itunes 9.02, Snow Leopard and iMac 24 - FREEZE UP!
I have 4 mac machines in the home and this problem is only affecting the iMac 24. From reading multiple forums, I can safely say that I am not the only one. iTunes freezes sort of randomly during playback, store browsing, podcast etc...
The only thing I can do is a hard reboot. After I reboot my local Disk needs to be repaired with Disk Utility as the directory counts do not match. I have used the install DVD to repair my main disk over 10 times now.
I have tried all the suggestions on the forums including:
removing plugins
Re-installing iTunes (multiple times)
Rebuilding library
removing SyncServices directory
disabling genius and home sharing
and more
This problem seems to have started after the installation of iTunes 9
I am usually a very happy Apple customer but this has been quite the frustrating experience. Can someone acknowledge this issue at Apple so that I can rest assured that a patch will fix this at some point?
I am out of ideas and search engines to look for answers. Any feedback on this thread is appreciated.I am reporting exact same problem on iMac 24" (3.06GHz/Mac OS X 10.6.2/iTunes 9.0.2).
iTunes randomly freezes, leaving only the spinning beach ball. Sometimes, if left alone for several minutes, it'll report "iTunes library files cannot be saved (-50)" error. Alas, clicking "OK" to dismiss the dialog window only results in the same message popping up again and again. In all cases of iTunes' freezing and the ensuing beach ball, the Dock seems to go awry, too. The application switcher (command-tab) won't show and clicking on the dock will only freeze it; But, the menubar clock somehow still runs.
After a hard restart, which I am so weary of after having done so many during the last couple of months, iTunes always goes through the long "Checking iTunes library" process before starting up again.
I can't seem to pinpoint the pattern for these freezes.
For now, I have disconnected a Western Digital My Studio II external hard drive used for Time Machine per some online discussion about the lack of Snow Leopard support for that drive by Western Digital and have tossed iTunes' preference files. I'm not ready to rebuild the library file just yet.
At any rate, I hope someone can give us a clear answer. Thank you. -
Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on. It often begins playing music, as well. What is causing this and how do I make it stop?
There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
Bootable backups.
Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
(Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year). -

I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie. Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes. Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly. What do I do?
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

After installing Leopard and combo iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch
Hi, probably this question has been asked somewhere, but I can't find it. Given that after upgrading to Leopard and the combo, my iPod is seen in iTunes, but my iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes. The answer seems to be to reinstall iTunes, if I do that, will the reinstall keep my fine iTunes music library? thanks, e_moma
Most people in this situation seem to have to re-install iTunes. iTunes the application resides in the Applications folder. Your music resides in ~/Music/iTunes/ and will not be affected by re-installing the application.
Of course you have a good back-up on an external drive anyway - right(?)

MacPro with both Leopard and Tiger drives. Want to switch iTunes How
I am running a MacPro with both Leopard and Tiger drives. I finally want to switch everything to Leopard and its drive. I have iTunes on the leopard drive but have never used it. How can I transfer my iTunes music, iPhone Apps etc. from the Tiger iTunes to the Leopard with the least amount of fuss?
Hello hassiman,
For additional information regarding moving the entire library from the 10.4 partition to the 10.5 partition, see this article:

If your iTunes Library is substantial, you may want to consider backing it up to an external location as well:
