ITunes Updates Keeps Modifying the Library

The last two iTunes updates I have allowed to run (9.1x and today, version 10) have mangled my library. The 9.1x download wiped about 2 hours of user-input cover art. The Apple cover art function is awful, to be kind. When I spend hours updating the holes and mistakes it leaves behind, I don't appreciate the next version wiping it out during the update.
I reluctant;y put in Version 10 today. Immediately afterward, I opened my library to find that not only did this version randomly delete my cover art AGAIN, it also randomly separated my albums into multiple entries. Now I get to spend 2 to 3 hours scouring my library for the missing and wrongly assigned cover art, I also have to knit entries back into single albums.
Who does your software QA? If I put the cover art in manually, LEAVE IT. Don't rearrange my library entries. Don't break up albums into multiple new albums. Next time you feel the need to make an iTunes upgrade, think Hippocratic, and first do no harm. AND GIVE ME A BLOCK ALL UPGRADES OPTION. I really don't need your help any more.

SAme problem here. Did you ge tany fixes, other than manual?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character

    I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character.
    The folder where everything is stored isnt even called My Music, it is just called Music.
    I gave up on trying to update my itunes and removed it and am trying to re-download but receive the same message. Now I have no itunes on my computer at all.
    Short or wiping my computer and starting again I have no ideas left.
    Please help!

    That message isn't referring to the location of the music, it's referring to the location of the iTunes programme.
    So the message is either referring to the download location or the folder it is trying to install the programme in. I think (I wouldn't put money on this) that invalid characters will be things such as * ^ % and so on. When you get the message, look for the location that your computer is trying to use. Are there any strange characters in the "file path" that your computer is using?

  • Trying to update iTunes but keep getting the error messag "the url could not be opened" when it's always worked fine in the past. What does this mean?

    Trying to update my iTunes but keep getting the error message "the URL could not be opened" what does this mean and how do I resolve this? It's always worked fine in the past!

    Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

    Can anyone help solve this problem?

    I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
    creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
    But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

    Hey craiglarkin,
    First, I would try following along with the steps in this link:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS, make sure to follow the steps closely, including the order in which you uninstall.

  • When I open iTunes I keep getting the same speech from the general meeting. How do I  delete

    When I open iTunes I keep getting the speech of the last general session of new Apple products. The talking is always in the background of any new music I try to play. How do I stopped the speech from always playing in iTunes?

    Try to going to the section where the sound is coming from and see if the video or speech is still active for some reason. See if there is a way to quit it.

    iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted.  I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message.  What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch.  Any ideas?  My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

  • TS1277 In The last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file MSVCR80.DLL, how do I get it back, i have followed all the instructions to remedy this lost file to no avail.

    In the last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file Msvcr80.dll, how do get it back so I can download Itunes again? 

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:
