Itunes update causing weird problem for apple tv streaming songs
In itunes 10.5 when I choose apple tv as the external speaker and send songs through it plays the song and displays the cover of the album, title, song, name, and artist on the tv screen. When I updated to 10.5.1 it does the same except that after the first song the cd cover is one behind what is playing. For the sake of clarity, say I start the streaming songs on random play. The first three songs might be "Misty" by Kate Bush, "Rolling Along" by Lucinda Williams, and then "The Foggy Foggy Dew" by Greg Brown. When the first song plays it will be correct. "Misty" will be playing, Kate Bush will be displayed as the artist and the cover of the Kate Bush album will be showing. But when the next song comes on it will be playing "Rolling Along", Lucinda Williams will be displayed as the artist but the Kate Bush album cover will be displayed. Then the next song comes on "The Foggy Foggy Dew" will be playing, Greg Brown will be displayed as the artist but the Lucinda Wililams cover will be displayed. And so on.
I've experimented with it and feel certain it is the itunes update. I still have version 10.5 on my laptop and that is working normally. It is only the computer that I updated to 10.5.1 on that his having this weird thing occur.
Any ideas?
I have the exact same problem. Thanks for describing it so accurately. My Apple TV underwent a software update last evening, but the problem remains. Will be anxious to know when a fix has been applied.

Itunes Updates cause album problems
Why is it when you update your itunes library, it doubles up all the album songs so you have to spend an eternity deleting all the doubled songs because it uses twice the memory.
Any help would greatly be appreciated as this is very annoying and totally unnecessary.inetguy wrote:
Thanks for the tip.
I had posted in the printing forum, but no one responded. Your post was far more helpful than anything I've seen. I wasn't aware that the security updates messed with the printer drivers, which is a bit frustrating.
I will see what I can find.
Thanks
That last security update enforced already-existing security police, called PIE as in Apple PIE
It stands for "Position-Independent Executables" which makes apps begin in different places in RAM each time the start so a hacker can't easily find it. Older software that is not written/compiled to use this feature will now not work or at least not work correctly. Leopard has always had PIE, and to give SW vendors some time to update, did not enforce it until this latest update.
My Epson printers and scanner continue to work properly. Updating your drivers/software will most likely solve your problem.
Maybe this forum is the best place for printer answers ???? -
Why is previewing songs in the iTunes Store causing a problem for me?
I don't have a problem playing music in my iTunes library or navigating around it, my problem is in the iTunes Store. If I select 'See All >' after searching for something in particlar then select a song and start scrolling down the page it becomes unresponsive. The 'time elapsed' freezes but the music keeps playing and I can move my cursor around the page but the page itself is at best unbelievably slow to respond and at worst completely unusable until the preview ends. The CPU usage rises to around 30% and stays at about that, fluctuating slightly, until the music stops. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and the programs that come with it and reinstalling them all but that was a waste of time.
Hello dazw724,
Thank you for providing the details of when iTunes becomes unresponsive. I found an article with steps you can take to isolate and troubleshoot an issue like this:

Mac os x 10.4.11 update -- causes printing problems for Lexmark X1150
What can I do to get back up printing? Lexmark.com doesn't have a driver to support. Apple Care doesn't have answers...
The computer recognizes the printer, and still scans... but no printing...
Any ideas would be most appreciated.....I experienced exactly the same problems with my Epson CX6600 after upgrading to 10.4.11: the installed USB driver no longer worked ("Communication Error"), and after removing it, the device was not recognized. I tried all of the usual avenues: repaired disk permissions, ran Printer Setup Repair, downloaded new drivers, restarted numerous times, etc. All to no avail.
However, I did succeed in resolving the problem, after following a clue from Console's system.log. The following error message appeared each time the system was booted:
Feb 16 11:43:28 my-computer kextd: can't find extension with id com.apple.iokit.IOUSBUserClient
Running kextstat revealed that, accordingly, this kernel extension was not being installed on startup as it should be. I resolved the problem by replacing this kext, by deleting the entire /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext tree and replacing it with a vanilla copy from the 10.4.11 combo updater package. This was done using the excellent Pacifist:

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I am completely amazed like so many of you about ITunes Update 7.6 problems and the failure of anyone from Apple or anywhere else to, at least, acknowledge the problem. I sent the following note to Appleinsider:
"I was wondering why there has been absolutely no mention of the current problems with i-tunes since their recent 7.6 update. There have literally been hundreds upon hundreds of complaints piling up in forums (particularly Apple's). Despite this all major Apple information outlets have been completely silent. I think that most of us long time Apple supporters are getting tired of hearing about I=Phone this and I-Phone that, Apple TV, and more I-Phone as if these are the only current Apple issues. The level of frustration from i-Tune users is palpable out there. We've now even got Apple information sites reporting on the problems of Microsoft's "Office 2008", but still no mention within these sites of i-Tune's problems. No answers or acknowledgement of problems from Apple, none from sites such as Appleinsider, Macrumours, etc.. Apple users are just flabbergasted by all of this. Would you please take a look at this issue yourself. I think you will be shocked. As more and more people continue to download i-Tunes Update 7.6 this is getting worse and worse and Apple thusfar seems to demonstrate it either doesn't care or that it's a problem with a few people. If they read their own forums they have to know that this is far, far from the truth. Apple needs to at least acknowledge the problem or better still pull the update until the problems are fixed with Update 7.7."
Probably won't do anything but I can tell you that I feel just a little bit better!!!!Every time Apple releases an update to iTunes, there is a large number of people who have problems. But my guess is that this number is a tiny percentage of the hundreds of millions of iTunes users there are (analysts think a million copies of iTunes are downloaded every day). http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/06/12/appleserving_up_1_million_copies_of_itunes_eachday.html If you don't believe me, search these boards for "iTunes 7.5" "iTunes 7.4" "iTunes 7.3" etc.
I'm not trying to minimize your pain. I know it *****, but I have been watching these boards for years now, and this release is no worse than most others. -

Thanks bluebanana 66Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

You don't need to open iTunes to back up the library. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and look in the further information area for backup advice.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?
The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them. -
I have a library of nearly 2000 songs and all of which were purchased/downloaded in their entirety. It seems that after one of the iTunes updates… many (not all, but plenty) of those songs were “cut off” after playing about 2/3 through them… I haven’t gone through the entire library to see which are complete and which were cut off, but hoped this is “known problem” and hopefully with a known “fix”… Make sense?
Please advise…
Thx,

Will upgrading iTunes cause a problem for existing iPod?
My wife has a nano that has been established on this PC and I just got a 30GB iPod video model that I want to put on this PC. iTunes said that my iPod cannot be recognized unless I upgrade our verion of iTunes. Will this harm the library that my wife already has in iTunes?
Will this harm the library that my wife already has in iTunes?
Default settings in Windows XP place your song files in the iTunes Music folder which, along with the Album Artwork and Previous iTunes Libraries folders and the iTunes Library files , is found at C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes - far away from the iTunes program itself which is located at C:\Program Files\iTunes .
Although iTunes certainly makes use of the contents of the iTunes folder - among other things the library files tell iTunes exactly where to find the song files which are, of course, necessary if iTunes is going to play any music or transfer it to your iPod - the folder is not actually a part of the program so upgrading iTunes should have no effect at all on the contents of the iTunes folder ...
... but ...
... one of the funny things about computers is that sometime, somehow, somewhere when you least expect it , they can do some not so funny things, like losing data that they're not supposed to. Which is why it's a good idea to always have a back up copy of any data (such as your music) that you value in reserve ... just in case.
There are a variety of ways of doing so but for most people it probably comes down to one of two options.
The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail uses iTunes 7 to burn a back-up copy of the contents of your iTunes Library and the Library files - but not the Album Artwork or Previous iTunes Libraries folders - to CD's/DVD's.
You can use other storage media besides optical discs for your back-ups. The main alternative is to save a copy of the iTunes folder on a separate hard drive. Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of that approach .
If, when and how you choose to back-up your music is your decision to make - just bear in mind that as far as I know we've never had anyone post in these discussions who's regretted creating a back-up copy of their iTunes Library.
But we often hear from people who regret not having done so.
