ITunes Ping Issues

I am having issues with Ping like everyone else. My issues are:
My activity such as Like & Post only randomly show up, I have liked and posted about a ton of album, yet hardly any of them show up in my activity. For example I have liked and posted on maybe 20 albums today but my activity that shows up on my profile stops at yesterday and only a small % of yesterdays activity is actually on my profile
When I try to reply to something a follower has posted about one of the albums I have liked, it will not let me click on the "Post" button. The text box opens and lets me type a response but clicking on the "Post" button does nothing.

So far I have figured out it directly related to pre purchases, at least that is in my case anyway. I had pre-ordered Salt but when i went to download I received error 5002 and it said to try later. I tried for two days. I ran disk utilities and repaired permissions that did nothing, then I ran Disk Warrior, it showed the directory was all messed up. Still nothing, so I tried to just download Salt directly and sure enough it worked just fine and it is downloading now. As I said I believe it is related to the pre- purchase somehow. All of that is from an iTunes dedicated mac mini, nothing else is on that computer, no email at all.

  • ITunes Ping in English in Netherlands

    I am a foreigner living in Netherlands, connected to the iTunes store through a Netherlands credit card and an iPhone contract. I do not know Dutch quite well, and up to now, I could not find a decent way to show the iTunes store inside the application in English, but I was able to find my way somehow.
    As Apple introduced iTunes Ping yesterday, I decided to give this new technology a try. The same problem with my iTunes store view persists in Ping: everything is in Dutch. For me, seeing Ping screens in Dutch is both inconsistent with the rest of the GUI and way harder to use. Is there any way out of this? Can I use the Dutch iTunes store, Ping and other services in English?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm a Dutch guy living in Germany, a country full of non German speaking migrants and expats. Same problem here. I actually speak some German but I prefer English and I most definitely am not even remotely interested in buying German dubbed content that used to be in English via fully Germanized UI. Hence I'm not a paying customer on iTunes even though the US version of store has plenty of stuff I could be spending money on.
    Apple, and many other companies, plain don't understand localization issues. I've seen web sites assume wrongly that I speak Finnish or German and ignoring all indications I can possibly give that I want to be addressed in English. Earlier today I saw Google make this assumption: in a fully US-en localized gmail it managed to play the promo movie for priority inbox in German.
    Allow me to spell out the business case for Apple and others:
    1) Automatic localization based purely on location (IP address based or otherwise) is likely to get it wrong quite often (think double digit percentages in some country). If you don't offer alternative localizations or make switching localization very hard, you are pretty much slamming the door shut in the face of a potentially paying customer.
    2) The world is full of native and non native English speakers living in pretty much any country on the globe. For a US based company, that is a large group of potential customers that can be reached that are now forced to deal with your service in a language they may not even speak.
    3) Apple has loads of English content, which barring licensing issues could be sold/served to people outside the US as well.
    4) Many English speaking expats are in the "wealthy, willing to spend loads of whatever the local currency is" category. These people are extremely likely to be over represented in your sales stats. If only you could reach them.
    5) Many non native English speaking expats (like me) actually do speak English pretty well. I actually prefer English localized over the usually quite awkward Dutch/German/whatever translations used in many web sites.
    6) Many countries have large communities where English and secondary official languages are widely spoken. For example 5% of the Finnish population is Swedish speaking and Finland has a quite sizable expat community where English is widely used. In Germany, there are quite a few migrant minorities from e.g. Turkey or Russia (100K+ here in Berlin) in addition to the many expats from US, UK, etc.
    7) Failing to address people in the correct language alienates them. They might never come back even when you finally do figure out how to do things properly.

  • My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

    The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
    I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
    Any help would be apprecated.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

    I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
    I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
    The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
    Anyone else?
    I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

    There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
    As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

  • Itunes update issue

    I updated iTunes but receive the following message: AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotofication...  Now iTunes will not run.  I even tried the repair option on the iTunes download website.  Any suggestions?

    Does this happen if you start iTunes in safe mode, hold Shift and Control while launching it?

  • Ping issues on 80Mb Inifinity

    Hello!
    So I'm getting an unsual ping issue. It's repeatable on all of my computers whether wireless or through ethernet/powerline, and I can only describe it as hangs in the traffic, where the entire connection will lock up for 500ms-2000ms and cause extreme issues while gaming. I'm attaching a ping test though which I have been using to monitor the issue, and that's done through a simple "ping www.google.co.uk -t" command in cmd.
    My pings are fantastic for a BT connection, except when this is happening. This is better than any ping I got with Virgin. I just wish I could get this resolved. I think because I'm using fibre that I am missing all of the ADSL information that's been posted around here. My router home page shows no power levels etc.

    I would just like to add to this, I am suffering exactly the same problems.
    Homehub5, tried wired pc, wireless laptop, and doen ping tests on 2 tablets
    UK Server    Minimum = 19ms, Maximum = 3166ms, Average = 132ms
    BBC.co.uk    Minimum = 19ms, Maximum = 3148ms, Average = 78ms
    ping.sunet.se    Minimum = 57ms, Maximum = 3477ms, Average = 179ms
    google.co.uk    Minimum = 18ms, Maximum = 3249ms, Average = 109ms
    it's all the time, not just at a specific time either.
    This problem affects any online gaming to the point the games are completely unplayable.
    Speaking with support yesterday, they informed me that the game servers website cache information was wrong and "we have fixed that now because we are able to"

  • ITunes storevconnection issue

    I am experiencing connection to iTunes Store issue since 12:00 AM PST April 12. It happened on all of my devices (Macbook, iPad, iPhone). I have connection to the internet and can go to yahoo/google fine.

    I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
    what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
    mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
    no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
    i hope this works for you!!

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

    I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

    click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes.  Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...".  Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize.  The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

  • ITunes/AppleTV issues

    Hello,
    I'm trying to play iTunes music from my iMac on my Apple TV.
    The iMac is running OSX 10.6.8 (Intel core 2 duo)
    I have just upgraded iTunes, believing this to be required in order to connect with AppleTV. Since the upgrade, I am unable to open iTunes on the iMac. I icon bobs three times and nothing happens.
    Figured that perhaps the OS needs updating, but unable to download Yosemite either.
    Not sure what my next step should be. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi BrianMktg,
    Oh man, that definitely sounds frustrating! Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like iTunes is no longer responding/opening on your iMac. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue before moving on to the AirPlay issue. To begin, you can attempt the steps in the following resources:

  • How do I chat in iTunes Ping?

    Hey. I was wondering if there is a way you can chat with the people you follow on iTunes Ping. I have looked through all my stuff on ping, (profile, people, recent activity,) and none of it seems to have a link or button to chat. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

    There is no "chat" feature in Ping.
    Regards.

  • HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

    My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

    By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
    If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
    If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac
