ITunes ver 7.2 Broken?

I've upgraded to 7.2 in an software auto upgrade (as opposed to a manual download).
I open iTunes, it bounces, thinks a bit, is accessible for the briefest of moments and then freezes up. It seems to freeze right when it starts updating podcasts, though this is probably just an illusion.
In a desperate attempt to correct that which I do not understand I even tried to download the full 7.2 download, thinking, in error of course, that the full deal would be error free. After the file iTunes.dmg is done downloading, I select the file, open it, wait for a bit, enough to open a get a fresh beer, open it and come back down, and then see, upon my screen, a panel claiming the device is not available and cannot mount.
Just curious what's up. I have about 64 days worth of movies and TV shows and songs that I would love to access and enjoy, but cannot...
...which sort of defeats the purpose of having them.

Have you tried relinking iTunes to your library?
Launch iTunes but press the option key at the same time. iTunes will ask you to create or choose a library. Click 'choose' and navigate to your iTunes library. iTunes may be freezing because it is having difficulty locating the library.
I would also recommend that you repair permissions (via Disk Utility - HD>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility).
This is a hopeful suggestion, though I did fix someone's problem - much the same as what you report - this way, only today (after they has updated iTunes).

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my broken computer onto my new computer??? I allowed home sharing and also authorized the new computer but nothing showed up!

    How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

    It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

  • How can I transfer the music files from my iTunes ver: 9.0.? on my external hard drive to my new laptop with the latest version of iTunes?

    A few years ago I had copied my iTunes, ver:9.0.?, from my old laptop tom my external hard drive. The music on it was already loaded onto my other devices. My old computer crashed andI bought a new one, put iTunes on it and kept it updated. The problem is I forgot to keep the iTunes on my ecternal hatd drive updated. I tried to open the external hard drive iTunes but received a error with something to the effect that there was a newwerversion of iTune. I was hoping to either put the external Itunes music on my device. How can I go about that now?

    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • How do you get iTunes to list JUST broken or dead links?

    I would like to know how to get iTunes to show just broken links (aka Dead Links) much like how you can select it to show just duplicate songs/links
    My Internal Harddrive (HD) had a glitch afew weeks ago and I had to reformat and reinstall. Before any of that happened tho I had made a complete backup copy of the "My Music" folder (Which included the iTunes folder with its database and everything else) to a external HD.
    After getting the interal HD back up and running, I just copied everything within the "My Music" folder off the external and into the "My Music" folder on my Internal C Drive. During the copy process is when I found out that whatever glitch had happened had also affeced some of the MP3 files I had backed up on the external. Windows was able to copy all of the iTunes folder with its database and half of the MP3's The other half it couldn't tho.
    Now when I open iTunes being that the database was copied over and all songs that were recovered are exactly where they were before they show up I have no problems there. But the songs that were not recovered are listed in the iTunes Library, just has broken links tho since they do not exist anymore.
    It would make things ALOT easier if I could just get iTunes to show only the broken links. This would make a PERFECT list of all the songs I have missing. I could then know exactly which songs I need to rip again using iTunes or download so I can point these dead links to files and finish updating my iPod.

    OK I have finally got this question somewhat answered, I went and used the Javascript at http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt the first time, followed the rules of using "Save as" and changing the .txt at the end to .js and got errors running it.
    The Second time tho, instead of just using "save as" I realized the first lines of this text are not code but just directions. Someone might know of a shorter way of doing this but I Highlighted only the code itsself and saved that (Example Below):
    /* Rename me to FindDeadTracks.js
    Double Click in Explorer to run
    Script by Otto - http://ottodestruct.com */
    var ITTrackKindFile = 1;
    var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
    var deletedTracks = 0;
    I just skipped the "Rename me to ........" Highlighted "var ITTrackKindFile " And everything below it. After saving this and running it, The script opened iTunes poped up how many dead tracks it found in a pop up window and (Without saying) had made a Text File of all the songs that were dead tracks in the "My Documents" Folder.

    Buy yourself a backup drive. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to ITouch or Nano (6th Gen). All the music does not appear and the playlists do not appear at all. I have selected to manually manage music on the sum tab

    I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to an Itouch or Nano (6th Gen). Also, all the music does not appear when I check entire library and there is enough memory on the device. When I select to manually manage music on the summary tab and selected playlists on the music tab nothing changes. Either way all the music isn't on either device and the playlists are not on either device. Please advise next steps. Thank you.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • ITunes (ver 11.04) rip fails with compilation CDs that has over 18 tracks.

    I've starting re-ripping my CD collection to the Apple Lossless format and I've notice that everytime I tried to rip a CD (mainly compilation or box set CDs that has more than 18 tracks on a CD) tracks from 19 and 20 will take days to rip. iTunes will show the running time on the last two tracks as #19 with 1:15:38 and track #20 either 30 minutes or 15 minutes (depending on CD). I am using an external CD drive on a Intel MacMini more (ver 10.8.4) with iTunes (ver 11). I've used two external optical drives (each one a different manufacture) and I get the same results with both drives. I checked for firware updates for the LG optical and I couldn't locate it on the LG website. My HP optical drive firmware didn't need updating. Help! I'm forced to use my Linux box to to rip them and then convert them to Apple Lossless and then transfer them to my mac! Thank you all in advance for your repsonse!

    Never mind, I borrowed a neigbor's USB powered "portable" external optical and it ripped two CDs that has 18+ tracks without any problems. What are the chances that I have two, heavy, stationary exernal drives that have the same issue! (Unless they're manufactured by the same company for different brands....h-m-m).
