ITunes no longer talks to my daap server

Hi,
I understand that some time ago iTunes changed it's authenication methods which means that iTunes clients no longer connect to my daap server (firefly).
I understand that security is an important issue, but my server is the way I share my music with others in the house on a totally private network, so there are no security reasons for clients not to stream music from my server.
Is there a way to tell iTunes to connect anyway? Rhythmbox works fine, but the others run windows or have macs and I am not sure if there are other daap clients, especially not for macs.
Anyway, if I can't connect iTunes, I will have to start finding some other solution, probably non-daap. Is that my only option here?
Thanks.
Brendan

Hi cosis1,
If iTunes on your computer does not detect your iPhone, you can use the appropriate article of these two to troubleshoot, depending on what type of computer you are using -
For a Mac - iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support
For Windows - iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

TS4062 I've just 'upgraded' my ipod and now my G5 can no longer talk to my ipod.

I've just 'upgraded' my ipod and now my G5 can no longer talk to my ipod.
Why can I not just transfer my ipod (music, movies etc) info to my other macbooks? This service stinks.

Are you running Leopard? If so, try updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25.
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

ITunes no longer works on PC

My iTunes no longer updates or is recognized by my PC. I keep getting errors about installed incorrectly and to try again, also failed. Thought it was just my computer so tried my other PC, it went down for the count as well. My friends have the same problems. I see nothing for a fix except people saying to uninstall and reinstall. Not working. Help

Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following user tip?
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ITunes no longer keeps speakers running on headphone jack

iTunes no longer keeps my external speakers running when connected by audio cable to the headphones jack. After 1:45 min:sec, my Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 speakers power down when connected to my computer playing iTunes.
The speakers do not power down for audio generated from other sources on my computer. When I play a video or audio file through Safari or another browser, the speakers work fine. When I listen to an audio file by selecting it in the Finder using Apple-Y ("quick-view"), the speakers run continuously until the end of the track without powering down. When I use the speakers configured the same way with other software (such as Skype), they work fine.
The speakers do not power down for audio generated from other DEVICES. When I plug the speaker cable into the headphone jack of either my iPhone 3Gs or my partner's mp3 player and play audio, the speakers work continuously.
I've looked at trouble-shooting for iTunes and found nothing on the Apple site or the web or in the iTunes preferences to keeping wire external speakers live during iTunes playback. I've tried having the speakers connected to a power source or running on batteries but the problem is the same. I've reset the speaker device with no change. I've reinstalled iTunes, no change. The Apple Store genius bar cleared all caches and restarted, no change. They reinstalled the computer system, but found no change.

Hi Dexterdawg
Can you direct me to the thread as I can not sort out the same problem on my iMac
Thanks

IPod files keep getting erased + iTunes no longer detecting iPod

For the fourth time now I have plugged my ipod into my pc only to have all the files wiped from its harddrive. This was not such a big deal as I could just resync all the files, except now iTunes no longer recognizes my ipod (windows does, however).
How can I fix this?

Yes, I've gone through all those steps.
Just to be clear, have you tried reassigning the iPod's drive letter as explained in the "related document": Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear ?

PC and iTunes no longer recognize my iPhone 4?

Hoping someone can help as I'm completely at a loss and super frustrated.
My PC & iTunes no longer "see" my iPhone 4 when I connect it to my computer. I've tried all my USB ports- they all charge my phone, but it does not show up in device manager, etc. I have also tried updating iTunes, reinstalling iTunes, restarting my iPhone, completely charging iPhone before plugging in, restarting my computer a billion times, and making sure it is not conflicting with any security software. I've also gone into MSconfig and followed these directions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275. Nothing has worked.
I am running Windows XP Media 2002 SP2. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3. I connected my phone to my computer back in January before updating to 6.1.3 and computer recognized phone just fine. Have not tried to plug in since, but now I really would like to pull the pictures off my phone and start fresh.. But can't.
Help?

Have you tried connecting the phone to another computer? You can try to connect to another computer that has iTunes connected. Make sure that computer does not have iTunes set to automatically sync. After that, you should be able to import your pictures from the Camera Roll via the Scanner and Camera Wizard for older versions of Windows, or via the Import manager in the newer versions of Windows.
Have you checked to make sure your Windows is up to date? Is SP2 the latest update for that version of XP? While you say that you did connect to the computer some time in the past, the tech specs for the iPhone 4 show that Windows XP needs to be SP3.

ITunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4

I have had 3 iOS devices connecting to iTunes on Windows for more than 4 months. For some reason iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. My iPad and iPhone 4S still work as they should. Windows sees the iPhone 4, but it never shows up in iTunes. I followed the advice for getting services restarted in Windows, but since it's only one device that's an issue I'm thinking there may be an issue in the iPhone 4. Ideas?

try this, it worked for me...

Just recently I noticed that several of the movies I have purchased from Itune no longer will open and a screen pops up and ask if I would like to locate the file. I can however open all of them in my newly set up AppleTV, so I am confused as to "where are they?"

Try re downloading the movies. You won't be charged again.

My iTunes no longer copies my Contacts to my iPod when I have the 'info' box ticked?

I used to have my Contacts copied onto my iPod classic until recently. Now iTunes now longer seems to want to do this for me, and i get the following messsage "iTunes will no longer sync contacts to the iPod" without any other help or explanation. I have ticked the relevant box in 'info' along with my calender which is copy over perfectly OK. What's going on, can anyone help? I have done all the usual 'Resetting" etc, but still no joy.

Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
** Edit
You can set the location of your music here too.

Itunes no longer has my music in my music library. How do I transfer ALL my music (not just the purchased from Itunes) from my Ipod Touch back to my Itunes library on my computer.

Ipod Nano 7th Generation is saying Use Itunes to Restore. Itunes no longer recognizes my device

Please Help, My Ipod nano 7th generation was syncing. When I disconnected from my computer, I no longer had any music on it. When I plugged it back in Itunes prompted me to restore my Ipod. I went ahead and restored it, but it kept asking me to restore. When I unplugged my ipod, I got a white screen saying Use Itunes to Restore. Problem is Itunes no longer picks up my device. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, I've tried to update Itunes to the newest version, and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I've tried to reset the ipod, but it still goes back to the white screen saying "Use Itunes to Restore". I've been trying everything. Please Help.
Thanks

No. You need iTunes on a computer to restore it. If you don't have iTunes you can download it from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you don't have a computer, can you can try to borrow one with iTunes installed.
