ITunes v.11.1.4.62 & Serato DJ digital DJ'ing software...
Cc: Mixed In Key 6 Support;
Platinum Notes Support;
Serato DJ (v.1.5.2) Support;
Numark Support (for MixDeck Quad)
I am sending this request for support to all the above companies, as I do not know where the issues I am having originate from.
Laptop hardware & software profile
Windows 7Pro, 64-bit edition
16 Gigabyte RAM
Intel i7, 8-core 3630QM @ 2.4 GHz processor
64GB SSD (for Windows) (C: drive)
1 Terabyte SATA HDD (for music) (D: drive)
I use this laptop exclusively for digital DJ’ing with Serato DJ v.1.5.2 (paid-for) software (via iTunes - v.11.1.4.62) & a Numark MixDeck Quad controller/mixer.
Description of problem
Now to try to describe the issues I have encountered –
The purpose of my chosen hard disk configuration (above) is, as far as possible, to keep my music separate from the rest of Windows, Programs, etc. (Can this actually be done?). With this in mind, I set the iTunes Media folder location to –
‘D:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media’,
from the default location of –
‘C:\Users\My Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media’.
Having ‘ripped’ several hundred of my own CD’s – at 320kbps in MP3 format - in iTunes, I then installed Mixed In Key & Platinum Notes - on the advice of other pro-DJ’s - & analysed my music in both programs. This maybe where my problem originates, but I am not sure.
(I think ?) Platinum Notes creates a ‘new, improved’ version of your music files (MP3), with a ‘_pn.mp3’ suffix. I have now deleted all ‘_pn.mp3’ files & removed Platinum Notes from the laptop. Despite this, there are still several hundred tracks listed in Serato DJ, on the ‘Music’ tab, that show Platinum Notes in the file path despite having deleted all tracks with a ‘_pn.mp3’ suffix & removed Platinum Notes from the laptop. How can this be?
In iTunes, almost every track has an ‘!’ (exclamation mark) inside a circle in the first column & if I try to play a track a dialog box titled ‘iTunes’ pops up & says, ‘The song “[song title]” could not be used -because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?’ There are two buttons to choose from, ‘Locate’ & ‘Cancel’. ‘Locate’ opens the aforementioned ‘D:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media’ folder, but the chosen track does not seem to be there. (Incidentally, all the tracks in the ‘… \iTunes Media’ folder are in blue which, I think, means it is a copy of the original – not sure if this is important?). Choosing ‘Cancel’ either takes me to the next Track that iTunes CAN find in the folder, or sometimes plays the Track it claims cannot be located! (these 2 actions seem to happen at random) If the chosen Track cannot be found then the ‘!’ inside a circle appears in the first column in iTunes, despite it not being there before.
I am almost at the point of reformatting both the ‘C:’ & ‘D:’ drives & starting from scratch, but the thought of ripping 200+ CD’s again leads me to seek a better solution.
Moving onto Serato DJ –
In Setup, on the ‘Library + Display’ tab, ‘Show iTunes library’ & ‘Protect library’ are both selected. Selecting ‘Music’ under ‘Library’ in the left sidebar of Serato DJ, virtually every Track in the main window is a brown/bronze colour & is not found when loaded onto a virtual deck. Returning to ‘Setup’>’Library + ‘Display’ tab in Serato, if I UNcheck ‘Show iTunes Library’ then return to Serato, in the main window most tracks are in white & play as normal. The problem then is that the sidebar is empty & the tracks displayed in the main window of Serato DJ are listed completely at random – no Playlists, Default or my own ones, are listed.
So, the main question seems to be - why can’t Serato DJ find my music when it is moved from the default location, if iTunes can? Is there a way to manually edit where Serato DJ looks for my music, as there is in iTunes (‘Edit’ tab>Preferences>’Advanced’ tab>’Change’ button (under ‘iTunes Media folder location’ box) ?
As I write this support request, another thought has come to me. Can the ‘iTunes Media’ folder be in different places on different devices, e.g. 2 different laptops & a desktop PC ? What about music stored in the ‘iCloud’ ? On one laptop, in the Cloud field in iTunes, approx. 1600 tracks, of an approx total 2800, have no symbol; 1100 tracks are ‘greyed out’ but have a cloud symbol with a down-pointing arrow inside. Hovering over this symbol it says ‘Download from iCloud’ but I have tried double-clicking & right-clicking on the track, neither of which give me a ‘Download’ option; 55 are again bold, with a cloud symbol & an ‘x’ inside it. Hovering over this symbol it says ‘Removed from iCloud’ – I don’t recall removing/deleting any tracks from the iCloud!; Lastly, 2 tracks (Bold) have a cloud symbol with a ‘\’ symbol across it. These are labelled ‘ineligible’, but with no instructions on what to do about this.
In iTunes Help these symbols are explained but no instructions on how to correct these issues is given.
If you require any further information, please let me know.
It would seem mesa and virtualbox aren't playing nice atm (nothing to do with gnome) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194678. Hopefully someone somewhere is fixing this.

I need help. My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full. Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.
yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

Neither my iPod Touch nor my iPhone will show up in iTunes when I plug in through the USB cable. My software is updated, I've restarted everything, I've reset the devices, but still no luck. Help?!
Check your System Profiler to see if your computer is recognizing them. You may need to reset the computers SMC.

My ipod touch does not show up in my itunes source list, and shows up as a digital camera in "My Computer". Any ideas?
Start here. Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

When I plug in my iphone 4S to my 64-bit computer a error box comes up in my 64-bit itunes that reads (This iphone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove itunes, than install the 64-bit version of itines.) This just started a few weeks ago. I've done a system restore on my computer, deleated and reinstalled the 64-bit itunes several times, did a registery clean, rebooted. Nothing seems to work it will not pick up my phone.
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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:
http://www.rarlab.com/
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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I have an iphone 4, with ios 4.3.3. I want to update it but when I connect it to itunes it says that it is the latest version of the software. So I cannot update it, and I need it very bad. Can anyone help me?
What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.
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 all music and resync
- 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.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem. -
ITunes Store via iPod Touch WiFi download for Digital Booklet
I purchased Drastic Fantastic/KT Tunsall's new music Deluxe Version. I note that the Digital Booklet extras did not download to the iPod touch via the WiFi download. Nor did they download on their own when I did the synch with my laptop. Finally I went into my iTunes account via my laptop and viewed my purchases. Sure enough they were purchased. I then use the check for purchases on iTunes and it still didn't catch the missing booklets. Finally I went into my account to report the trouble and they started to download.
Are the booklets too big to come directly to the iPodTouch via Wifi? Are they supposed to download later on your computer when you go to the iTunes Store?All videos and digital booklets are downloaded separately after you have synced your ipod touch to the computer and your itunes library. Every album that has a digital booklet states this at the very bottom of the album list on wifi ITMS. When you try to sync a digital booklet to the ipod touch you get a error message stating that "Name of booklet cannot be synced to the ipod touch." Its not a size issue just simply that they are not compatible with the ipod touch.

When I install itunes I received an error message like this:The exception unknown software exception (0Xc06007e) ocurred in the application at location 0x7c812afb. After the installation the computer is showing the message every time.
If you update your QuickTime Player, does that clear up the iTunes message?

Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?
Hi,
got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes. -

iTunes Tutorials iwll not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.
I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now??? i am really feeling difficulty because i have been disconnected from the network.
I am from Pakistan.The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken.
