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.

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 ????

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 Update 7.6 Problems

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.

ITunes 7 causing QuickTime problem???

I am running Windows XP & updated to iTunes 7 as I have just purchased a new iPod. Not sure if this is what has caused my problem but... Now I notice my QuickTime videos (purchased as well as shot with my digital camera) which previously played perfectly show no video at all, just a continual solid color. Audio is still fine. I visited the QuickTime site which indicated QT was properly installed, but I reinstalled to see if that would fix the problem. Same result, still no video. Other video types such as Real Player still play fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice. Dick in Tucson
PC Windows XP

Dick,
Not sure if this is related, but the new version of quicktime seems to cause iphoto (mac's photo program) to quit.....go figure???
Looking at some threads in the iphoto discussion area reveals some bugs with the new version of quicktime.
Since I am mainly interested in photos, I will try to re-install an earlier version of quicktime to see if that helps any.
It seems like apple needs to do something about this new version.

Xorg & Catalyst updates cause major problems here

I went through the other similar threads and tried just about everything without luck... The latest Xorg & Catalist updates cause lots of problems on my desktop.
The video card is an ATI X300.
Without a xorg.conf, X server starts and things work, more or less - but much slower than they used to. It's pretty clear fglrx is not actually used, xv doesn't work, fglrxinfo gives:
Error: unable to open display (null)
With the previous xorg.conf (the one wich worked fine before the updates), X doesn't start (even after commenting out the "RgbPath" line and adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "false") and the log shows many fglrx errors such as:
(EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0
(EE) fglrx(0): ===[swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7
X -configure won't generate a xorg.conf
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
In conclusion:
- without a xorg.conf fglrx doesn't work although X server starts
- with an old xorg.conf fglrx will generate errors and X server will not start
Any ideas?

I had alreday done all that. Still, X will crash every time after changing the resolution (for tv out) and back and won't restart unless I delete /etc/ati/amdpcsdb first. Rebooting won't help either (again, unless I delete /etc/ati/amdpcsdb first).

J2SE update caused Skype problems..... ?????

Good morning everybody.
I hope my post will not be removed - I tried to get help from Skype support with no help, and since an Apple update caused my Intel iMac some problems, i hope this is the right place for my question
A few days ago i received a message regarding automatic update from Apple regarding:
Front R update
QuickTime update
J2SE50 Release 4
When trying to install, i got the message that its not possible on my machine? So i was adviced from Apple support to manually install these updates, which i did, with success...
Until i tried my Skype , and thats what i get in the chat-instant messaging window whenever i try to write a message to another Skype user:
<div class="incoming context"> <div class="message-head"> <span class="sender"><a href="skypechatcontact://%senderScreenName%">%sender% <span class="date"><b> %time% <div class="clear"> <p>%message%<div id="insert">
all i wrote is "testing" ...
I believe its a problem with JAVA, so i was on the phone with Apple supprt for 2 hours, and after all the checks, they said that can not help me, as it is a problem of Skype ....
Please note that the users i write to, CAN c what i write, but i can not c it, or c what they write me.
Please also note that i erased all the Skype preferences, and all file sfrom library and applications support, tried to reinstall, erased all again, then tried to install the new 1.5 gold, and then Beta 2, but all the time the same problem...
Would be very happy if someone here has any idea how to solve this issue... I looked and asked alot in Skype forums, seems that more people got my problem, but nobody was able to find a solution...
Thank you very much for all the people here that try to help.
Have a great day everybody,
Elad
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi, thanks alot for your reply.
Well, after Apple support , checking with me some issues on my Intel imac decided its all ok with my OS, i thought would be good idea to erasae any Skype trace from my OS, after that i installed again several different versions of Skype, the 1.5 and the 2 beta, whcih worked great before it all started...
And i just keep getting this "gibrish" codes instead of the text i type..
Regarding the permissions, must admit i have no idea about this issue, c, i was using XP until buying the mac, so im learning all the time...
I will be looking now for the info regarding permissions, and then try it.

10.8.2 Mountain Lion Update Causes Major Problems

I'm running an early 2009 iMac and I made the jump to Mountain Lion about a month ago. Initial upate ran OK, I had some problems but overall it ran pretty decently. I held off on updating to 10.8.2 because I wanted to see if it caused any issues, but decided to go ahead about a week and a half ago. Since then, my computer has had daily problems. To name a few, my computer completely crashes when going into sleep mode and will not return, the sound frequently disappears and goes unrecognized. iTunes has been an utter disaster - I have an iPod classic, which as soon as I plug in causes iTunes to crash. I've had similar issues with my iPhone 4. Airplay drops regularly when I never had that issue prior. Homesharing in particular causes iTunes to crash, which was working infrequently as of just yesterday.
I've had quite a few issues, which over the past few weeks has rendered my iPod classic and old iPhone completely useless as I cannot sync them to put music on them (I restored iPod to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. So now I have an empty iPod that won't sync). And the workaround of using homeshare was viable as an alternative, but now does not work at all. Connecting to my Apple TV takes 5-10 times longer than it previously did, and the connection occasionally drops. I used all these features with a regularity which makes this extremely frustrating.
Not sure if Apple plans to fix this with iTunes 11 update, but I'm hoping something will come about soon. I called support to inquire about downgrading back to Snow Leopard, but the guy on the phone convinced me to reinstall the OS, which I did. It has not solved any of my issues (although I was finally able to update my iPhone 4 to the latest firmware, it will still not sync or do Homeshare). Any ideas how I could solve these problems? These all started happening the day I updated to 10.8.2 and, as I said, I hadn't experienced anything like them previously.

I have done that, several times.
So this is where I'm at now - last night, immediately after finishing a movie that was on my WD hard drive, which holds all of my media, music, movies - I restarted my computer and then it would not read the drive. It said it was unreadable.
I brought the Mac and the drive into an apple store today - they said basically it was my hard drive causing the issues. I used my iPod classic as my media back up as the 160 gb could hold all my stuff. Well, as I mentioned previously, that can't sync and I restored it, with no success. So in essence I lost my media drive and the back up. Tough to swallow, I'm angry, I think it's still mountain lion causing the drive to fail.
So I resolved to go home and restore my computer to one of my time machine back ups and do a Snow Leopard reinstall. Well, the moment I returned from the apple store, the time machine drive is now listed as unreadable. I called support, spent hours with them - I now have two drives which fried within 10 hours of each other in the same error. The senior support manager agreed it sounds like mountain lion is indeed corrupting my drives somehow. My iMac currently won't start into the recovery disk. So I went out spent $200 to get a new hard drive, which I am now backing up my data onto with a new Time machine.
In the last week, I've lost my iPod classic, iPhone 4, two external hard drives and now possibly even the Mac itself. I'm going to install snow leopard and see if it alleviates any of my issues, or hopefully can read my drives. I truly believe Mountain Lion is the problem.

ITunes Update Error 7 - Problem with SQLite3.dll

I updated iTunes last night through the regular Apple Software Update and it appeared to update iTunes, Quicktime and Safari normally. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium - 32 bit. After the update it said I needed to restart Windows, so I did. Since then I get the following errors:
As Windows is booting up, the following errors appear:
AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SCLite3.dll
iTunesHelper.exe Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SCLite3.dll
If I try to start iTunes, I get the same error followed by:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I have reinstalled iTunes but the errors continue. I tried replacing sqlite3.dll but that did not help.
Any help or suggestions? I'm pretty tech savy but I'm at a loss.

I received a note to do the regular Apple Software Update for iTunes, Quicktime and Safari, then I faced a big problem from that exact same messages, I could not sleep, and I could not go to work and I cannot make any phone calls.
I did not imagine that one day I'll see this intransigence and irony Carried out by Apple with humans, this makes us lose confidence in their products. Because they are interested in selling their products only and do not provide any service to their clients. And to help us solve problems that result from the method of maximum protection of their software. But I think that there is no any point in calling them and asked for their help and support. Where they do not show any initiative to help resolve the problemsThis indicates that they intend to do that, Believe it or not this problem has caused great damage and loss to me, Since I had 4 iPhones, And all my friends advised me to get rid of them and sell and never buy this products again, even if selling them at a loss because the Apple company abandon its responsibility to serve and assist their customers by support

ITunes update causing error messages

Hi all.
This is my first time posting, please forgive any faux pas.
I installed the new update from itunes.
It would not install and told me there was a problem, but i did not write down the problem. I restarted the computer in the hope i could fix it with a tweak.
However i then received the APSDaemon.exe System error. The programme can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from the computer. Try reinstalling the programme to fix this problem.
I uninstalled iTunes, tried reinstalling but keep getting a message to check my privileges.
I have done a sfc/scannow, in command prompt in safe mode and normal mode, which is not showing any problems.
Used the MS fixit tool to completely uninstall iTunes, tried reinstalling, still the same message.
i seem to have followed all the advice advertised under the APSDaemon.exe. error messages.
Restarted, 4 more attempts and installing with the admin message. I am using the admin account to do all of this in.
It has now been 3 days since it happened and i still cannot find a cure.
I have had suggestions to plug my phone into the pc in the hope it may resolve the issue, but i am worried in case it mucks up the phone as well.
There seem to be a lot of people who have suffered the problem but most of the recommended actions have not helped resolve my issue.
( it could be me i guess).
Thanks for any help offered.

Me again.
I have spent all day working on this problem.
I have finally fixed it by myself!!
As no one responded to my plight, and in case anyone else has the same problem, here is how (i think) i sorted it.
The only way that i could reinstall iTunes successfully was to go into the control panel and under publisher uninstall each and every item that had an Apple inc. name by it.
After reinstalling it, i had to then download quicktime etc and reinstall that too.
Hopefully when i restart the computer all will be ok.
If not i will be back.
Thanks anyway

New Itunes update causing Ipod crashes

Since installing 10.6, Itunes has now regularly crashed when my Ipod is plugged in, leading me to have to force quit after giving it ample time to right itself (which it never does). This of course has wiped my ipod down, even tho DiskWarrior and Disk Utility recognize the drive, tell me its ok, and has the correct number of files, etc. But whenever i try and open Itunes, it crashes, tells me my Ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored, which I do. Then it works fine for a while, but then a day or so later I will plug it in and kapoof, nothing on my ipod, itunes hangs up, and so on. Its been going on for a couple weeks now, and I have tried rolling back to Itunes 10.2 which I have on my Time Machine backup, but it makes it laborious as I have to import the text files of my playlists one at a time, and being that i have a hundred or so playlists, i just give up.
I have done all the permissions correcting, rebuilt directory on my ipod, done various wipes of the drive, and so on, and I am out of ideas. Anyone else have this problem or any solutions?

meh. i am tired of itunes. there is my solution. uninstalling it once and for all, as it is a memory hog and has always given me problems when i update it, and so forth. never had these kinds of issues with it, but i need my music and need to be able to listen to it, so that's my solution. thanks.

ITunes update causes program to lock up.

I just updated iTunes on a windows 7 64 bit system and it now locks up half way into playing a song, or 5 songs into copying a CD to my library. I never had any challenges with this until this update. I am going to try to re-install, but wondering if the new version has a bug.

Found the resolution to the problem. Follow this thread...https://discussions.apple.com/message/16803836#16803836

Latest iTunes update caused static and skips in music

I'm not quite sure how to check what update I last did, but ever since I did it, my music has had a static sound and skips on occasion. I know my friend who also does not have a Mac is experiencing the same thing and I'm wondering if it's connected to the latest update.

There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues - including problems with Bluetooth devices - that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
Another possible remedy relates to a potential clash between the 64-bit version of iTunes 12 and Google Chrome; some users have reported that uninstalling Chrome (not just not having it running) resolves the iTunes playback issues without having to install the alternative version referred to above.
Finally, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.
