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 crashes every time I start it up

    I have Itunes 9.2.0.61 and every time i try to start it up it says it must close and then exits. I have tried reinstalling it and restarting my computer. Help?

    Is that an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error, Dan?
    If so, could you please generate another of the error messages? Click the "Click here" link in the error message box.
    In the little box that comes up, what ModName and ModVer are being given for the error? (Precise spelling, please.)
    If you aren't seeing a ModName or ModVer in there, what type of error does the box say you're getting? For example, AppCrash, BEX or InPageError?

  • Why does my Apple TV 3 launch itunes songs every time I start watching a movie on netflix?

    I just set it up and have gone through all the available trouble shooting but every time I launch a movie in netflix, my laptop starts to play songs. how can I make it stop.   also, iTunes does not see AppleTV as a device and it doesn't show up on FInder either.  Is this normal?

    Diesel Vdub,
    thanks for the info - I will try the power the Router and ATV boxes, I can see why that may help since I did upgarde the ATV on the 2nd May (which is when these problems started) so I can say I beleive that the ATV is running the latest software. I'll let you know if rebooting both boxes helps.

  • 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):

  • 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.

  • Rented movie has expired yet it still tries to download to iTunes so I get an error message every time I start iTunes

    I rented a movie - it expired a month ago. iTunes still tries to download the movie every time i start iTunes. I get an error that it couldn't download the movie.
    help....

    did both as yo usuggested and it goes away while iTunes is up and running which is better than before.
    However, when I restart iTunes it just comes back.
    there is something else that initiates the need for the download.
    frustrating!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit laptop.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.
