ITunes slow, won't play selected song, keeps playing same music video no matter what song I click!
I have an iTunes library of roughly 5000 songs, I just migrated my library from one hardrive to another (same computer though). Everything was working and playing fine, but now every time I click a song to play, I have to click it multiple times, then it freezes up for s second, then it plays the same music video (The Ghost of Tom Joad, Tom Morello and Bruce Springsteen), for EVERY song I click it plays this video.....my itunes media folder is in the right spot, and all the content is there. I cannot figure out what to do (and I usually can troubleshoot anything). Any ideas? I'm thinking it might be moving my library from my C drive that my OS is installed on onto another HDD (even though everything is there). Running windows 7
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync/redownload the music
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I run with my iPhone4, the music just keeps skipping to the next song. I'll start my music, start running, and then the songs keep changing so I can never hear a song. Songs are from iTunes and it doesn't happen when running with my iPod. Suggestions?
Go to SETTINGS - IPOD - and turn off "Shake to Shuffle"...

In genius, it says: Genius is unavailable for the song...
Then, underneath, it says "Choosing Update Genius from the Store menu will update your genius results. If after updating, iTunes is still unable to create a genius playlist from this song or artist, please choose another one.
The point is, that no matter what song or what artist I choose, even after updating, this message still pops up!Thanks to the tip from squane about repopulating the library, GENIUS IS WORKING AGAIN!
It does seem to be related to having started iTunes Match. My guess would be the songs that did not make it to the cloud may be the culprit, but I'm not sure.
The steps are a little involved, but here's what I did:
1) Go through the iTunes Match process
2) Click the cloud icon in the sort bar at the top of itunes
3) Select all the songs that were matched (if you're like me, you'll have about 50 songs/booklets that did not make it to the cloud for various reason -- so it's important not to select these at this point).
4) Delete, and, of course, do not select "also delete this song from the cloud" (I'm doing this because I have a MacBook Air with an SSD drive, so I can't afford the space to have my 94 GB of songs on my drive).
If you haven't tried this before (only keeping the cloud version), you might try it with one song just to test. After the local version is gone, you still see the song but you need to be connected to the net to listen to it.
Now, all your songs, except the ones that did not make it to the cloud, are off your local drive.
5) For all the things you want to keep, but did not make it to the cloud, I right clicked on each item, selected "Show in Finder", and dragged it to a folder on my desktop so that I'm sure not to lose it in subsequent steps.
6) Quit itunes
7) Go to your Music/iTunes folder
8) Delete all files that begin with iTunes (so iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Library.xml, * Extras.itdb, * Genius.itdb)
I'd recommend backing up these files somewhere before deletion just in case...
9) Restart iTunes
10) Turn on Match
11) Turn on/update Genius
At least for me, this process fixed Genius being unavailable for any song I tried, even those songs that were the basis of previous Genius song lists that I have saved. It still shows as unavailable for certain songs like before, but all the songs it previously worked for work again. -
trying to install itunes on win 8.1. keep getting error apple application support not found. asks me to uninstall and install itunes. i tried several times and keep getting same error.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do? What did I do wrong, and where do I find a manual to learn how to use ITunes???
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -

No.

I bought an album that also came with music videos. All the songs downloaded properly, but none of the videos. Next to them it said Stopped-Error 3150, I tried to restart the downloads and now most just say Stopped, some say Stopped-Error 8003, which means Network issues, but after checking, I found there are no issues with my network. Help?
I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac? -
My iPod 5th generation are connected to itunes but i can't navigate in every buttons (apps, music, ...) What can i do ?
This means you will need to put the device into a Forced Recovery Mode in order to restore the device. You can do this by connecting the device to your computer, holding the Home & Power buttons together until the device restarts with an Apple Logo, once you see this logo pop up remove your finger from the Power Button continuing to hold down the Home Button. You should then see a prompt within iTunes stating that it has detected a Device in Recovery Mode. Proceed through the restore prompts and it should be ok to use again.

The "More" tab on my itunes store won't load on my iPhone. I can't download my Purchased songs?
The "More" tab on my itunes store won't load on my iPhone. I am on wifi and everything else is working fine. It has been happening a while now so I can't download my Purchased songs. Anybody else have this problem?
In iTunes on your computer, go to Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu. Have your dad (or you, if you know it) enter his Apple ID and password. Then sync again.

I purchased a song from itunes and it downloaded to my Macbook and plays fine but it won't sync to my iphone. After that purchase I bought another song and it synced fine. Anyone know why this might be happening?
Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

I have now finished 3 iMovie projects and have learned how to prepare them for sharing through various media like Dropbox, iDVD YouTube iTunes etc. but I now have produced a huge number of related files which are filling up my hard drive to the point that I can't import any further raw video until I archive or delete many of these files.
What files do I need to keep on my MacBook in order to be able to keep these various shared locations functioning, and what should I delete or archive?iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION. -
