ITunes shuffling my songs on my computer every 5 seconds. Need help.
I am having a major problem with My iTunes music shuffling my songs every 5 seconds when I'm not doing anything. Any help would be great. Thank you.
You say, "My computer will not reconise the device." Then you say, "It says sync has been completed but there is nothing on the shuffle." Those two statements seem to contradict, because if the shuffle is not being recognized by iTunes, how can it say it has completed syncing? If it is doing a sync when connected, the shuffle is being recognized by iTunes...
have new leads.
By "leads," does that mean the USB cable. If so, did you get the USB docking cable for the 2nd gen shuffle? The USB cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle will not work, because the connector is different.
If you are using the latest iTunes, make sure the sidebar is visible. From the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the shuffle does not appear under the heading DEVICES?

How do i get itunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from a purchased CD?
How do i get iTunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from purchased Cd's?
You just import them to iTunes, or you import them to iTunes directly from the CD. But, it you had imported them to the computer before you had iTunes, then you go to edit, add file to library, or add folder to library, however you have the music set up.

I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Hello there, dancingteacher.
Removing and re-installing iTunes can be a challenging endeavor and has to be done in a very particular way. The following Knowledge Base article provides a clear, step-by-step process of removing iTunes:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

The "Additional Troubleshooting" section also includes a link to updates and conflicts with software for your Windows Operating System as well.

Weird iTunes Match issue - song correct on computer and iPhone, wrong on iPad
I hope someone can help.
I use iTunes Match for my mobile devices, with my main home PC being the golden source/reference.
Most songs work fine on my computer, iPhone 4S and iPad3 using iTunes Match ... however a few songs are incorrect on the iPad.
For example, Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" is plays correctly on computer and iPhone, but a completely different Kelly Clarkson song plays on the iPad (a song we don't even own!).
Troubleshooting ...
a) on iTunes on my computer, iTunes match is up to date and the 'problem' songs are listed as "Matched" in the iCloud Status column.
b) on the iPad, I've tried turning off iTunes match, then re-enabling iTunes match - same issue occurs - the Kelly Clarkson songs show up, but the 'wrong' song plays
c) I've tried restarting the iPad ... no change.
I've read other threads with similar issues - they say contact support - but my systems are out of full warranty and there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting support without paying.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?Hi - thanks for the response.
A couple of points/questions
1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved? -
When I am purchasing some music on I Tunes I usually like to listen to a short version of the Song before purchased but lately when I try to listen to the Song
it keeps on buffering every 2 seconds and I can't listen to the song of which I want to purchase correctly .You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Song previews in the iTunes store cut off unexpectedly anywhere from 4-12 seconds. Help?
Recently I noticed that any song I try to preview in the iTunes store will stop playing for no apparent reason, generally from 4-12 seconds in. No matter how many times I restart iTunes, replay the preview, restart my computer, check my connections with the internet through iTunes, etc, not a single preview for any song that I pick will play fully. This is pretty frustrating, and a very unexpected situation as I've never had problems with iTunes in the past. I believe it started after I downloaded the most recent update, so I'm hoping it's just a bug with this version.
If anybody knows of any way to fix this, please let me know!Hi, just check our long discussion... it seems it's been an Apple problem since 5/22 ... Still no solution, though a couple of people managed to make the store work by turning off W7 services ... I'm not about to do that: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3970684?tstart=0

I really need help!!! my itunes 11.1.4 download really screwed my computer up! I have tried everything i can search for and i still cant uninstall itunes in order to reinstall. If anyone could please help me it would be muchhhhhhhhh appreaciated. Thanks!
Carly,
I went through the same thing. Searched again for another error I was seeing and found this help from Delgadoh and this finally fixed me! He mentioned this article: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. But I had not read it. I went straight to his instructions below.
If you haven't already tried these steps:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects. -
Latest iTunes update problems with repeated error messages every 65 seconds??
After this mornings' update of iTunes. Problems with Applemobiledeviceservices.exe. Error message every 65 seconds - software exception (oxc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812fd3.
How do I stop this?'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
ITunes window keeps poping up to front every few seconds
Hello, My iTunes (10.5.2.11) on Win 7 (x86) keeps popping up to the front every few seconds even though there's no message box or bullitin. This might have something to do with every time I start iTunes I get a warning that some of the registry keys are currupted for some iTunes CD drivers and that I should re-install iTunes. This however doesn't help because I've done a complete uninstall, removed all remaining iTunes registry keys, and deleted all related iTunes files and reinstalled the program. Even after all that, I still get the same error. It might have something to do with the fact that the internal CD drive (on my/this laptop) is not functional.
Update: One of the kernel updates fixed it. I don't know exactly which version fixed it.

I have purchased a song that never completed the download. Song now says purchased but can't get it and isn't in library. How can I access the song?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please
Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?
