Itunes reanalyzes gapless information every time I start it

A month or two ago itunes started reanalyzing gapless playback information every time I start the program. It started one day with the album I imported, and since then every time I start itunes it re-analyzes the info for every file added since then. I can't find the option to turn off gapless playback. Any ideas? I'd like to be able to actually play music when I start itunes, but I always have to wait for the analysis to finish.

Do a search with Spotlight for ".plist" (without the quotes). In that list (should be very long) there should be a file named com.apple.itunes.plist. Delete that file by dragging it from the Spotlight list to the Trash. Don't worry if you drag the wrong file and delete it, as these are preference files that recreate themselves when you launch an application.

ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>

Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.

How do I stop ITunes from opening up every-time I start the computer

Everytime I start my computer, Itunes opens up. I tries going into startup items, but it is not listed there.
How do I get it to stop opening on Boot Up?
Thanks in advance
I have a Power Mac G5

If iTunes is in the Dock, control or right click it.
Does it have the "Open at Login" item ticked? If so, select it to untick.
That should do the trick.

Itunes reconfigures every time i startit

I updated to itunes 11 and now every time I start itunes it is like a brand-new account, like using itunes for the first time, music gone, movies gone, playlists gone. I keep all my media on a supplemental hard drive, which I had configured on itunes 10 to find it there, and never had a problem since updating to itunes 11. I have over 30,000 songs and I have had to reload my itunes now 5 times. also, since updating, every time i try to sync my ipod it says it is not synced to this computer, would I like to wipe it clean and start over? Is there a known fix for this? Why is this happening?

hmmmm. could you post your CD/DVD diagnostics for us, steph?
in itunes 7.0.x, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics and then hit Next.
in itunes 6.0.x or earlier, go "help > run CD diagnostics"
paste the complete results into a reply here.

ITunes 7.0.1 hangs every time I start it

Ever since I upgraded iTunes from 6 to 7.0.1 it hangs every time I start it while it is "Determining Gapless Playback Information". It always hangs on the 19th song and I have to force quit iTunes just to be able to use my computer again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have managed to solve the problem. It seems that iTunes 7.0.1 is unable to play one album in my entire collection and it hangs if I try to have any songs from that album in my iTunes library. I managed to get iTunes working again by reimporting my iTunes library and then removing the offending album before it could get up to doing the gapless playback mojo on those tracks.
To reinstall the iTunes library
1- go to ~/Music/iTunes/
2- move iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
3- trash the iTunes Library file.
4- start up iTunes and go to ->File->Import and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your desktop.
Bare in mind if you have a big library that it will probably take a while to import your entire file list. Try removing the offending song from your iTunes library and see if it works.
Strangely, the offending mp3 files play fine if opened in Quicktime. It would seem that something to do with the files encoding is crashing iTunes gapless playback process.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode?

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" every time Firefox starts up.

I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" for Sync every time Firefox starts up. Sync tells me I am using a new computer, which isn't the case. This is the same computer I set up Sync with.
What am I/is Sync doing wrong?

There could be several things.
Does everyone using the computer have their own user profile?
Check the history settings. Is it set to remove cookies?
Type '''about:preferences#privacy''' <Enter> in the address bar.
The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
Some Anti-Virus, Disk Cleaning, and other programs will remove things

Error -48 EVERY time I start iTunes for Windows

Every time I start iTunes from windows, I get a dialog with this error message:
"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-48)"
That's it. Stupid, uninformative and useless.
I ALWAYS check "do not warn me again" but it ALWAYS warns me next time I open itunes.
It seems that my library is saved because it loads properly next time I start iTunes.
Any ideas?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling:

ITunes 10.7 keeps asking for password every time it starts

So, ever since updating to iTunes 10.7, it *continually* asks me for my Apple ID password twice every time I start iTunes.
This is getting quite annoying. Is this a bug, or is there something that needs to be set to make this stop happening?

Have you ever been able to successfully remain connected to this wifi? Do any other devices connect and stay connected to this wifi? Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update for your router? The last step would be to restore your iPhone, first from a backup and if that doesn't work, then as a new device, or not from a backup. See this support document about restoring http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

My Itunes Match crashes every time I start Itunes

I have the current iTunes. I have cloud match. every time i start itunes it goes through the match process and gets to the part where it's going to upload the songs it wasn't able to match (about 325 out of 22.5k) and "itunes has stopped working" every time. These are songs I've loaded to itunes from CD's. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

Ipone 4S muting every time it starts up

Really, really regretting doing the ios6 upgrade. My iphone 4S is muting every time it starts up and can only be un-muted by a buried option uder General?Accessability. Anyone know the permanent fix?
Thanks in advance.
Peter

Yes, sorry I mean it crashes, Mulder.
The weired thing is that there are no crash reports for "Mail" (there are reports for Safari, iDVD, iTunes etc...).
Everytime I start up Mail the Mail window opens as it used to but there are no mails in the income folder. If you try to click on anything (like Sent Items or Spam) the spinning wait cursor appears and nothing happens. If you try now to click on the Exit button nothing happens either.
The only thing I can think of I did before this problem appeared was an Apple Update. But there are no new programs or plug-ins I installed lately.
I haven't done anything yet to resolve the problem because I don't have a clue what I could do...
I hope this was specific enough. I know it's not much of information but it's all I got.
Thanks a lot, Tom
