ITunes Version 11.0.4 (4) cannot handle long URLs

One of my iTunes playlists contains URLs of radio stations that stream music to my computer. This works fine, EXCEPT FOR ONE STATION that has a very long URL that will not fit in the one line that iTunes allows in its small editing window, so iTunes continues the URL (which iTunes calls Where:) to a second line, but then iTunes does not know how to handle this second line, and so the music from this station will not stream. I tried editing the URL by adding a backslash to the URL just at the line break, but this did not work either. If I put this long URL into my Safari or Firefox browser, the station streams perfectly to my computer. But this is awkward, and not satisfactory compared to iTunes which is wonderful when it works........ The URL is: http://socialstreamingplayer.crystalmedianetworks.com/radio/khfm
which iTunes breaks after radio/ so that khfm appears by itself on a second line and iTunes does not know how to handle this.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Unless I'm missing something, this is not a problem with iTunes. I can drag out the window so that the URL doesn't wrap but that still doesn't work. Going directly to the web site, the stream in question appears to be Flash-based and hence is not going to work in iTunes.
Regards.

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

  • Installed Itunes Version 7.7, now cannot use Itunes

    After installing Itunes version 7.7, I now cannot open Itunes becuase it gives me the error of" The Folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside my "My Music" folder". I have uninstalled it and tried to install previous versions to no avail. I also tried the Microsoft Install Clean up utility and I still cannot install any version of itunes.

    i have managed to solve it
    what ive done is: went into apple updates and re-installed it, and this time everything is working properly
    Hope if anyone else has this problem, this will help them

  • 2008 macbook cannot handle Lion - but I need to sync my iPhone 5 to iTunes!

    I was gifted an Phone 5 because I needed a new phone and because I needed an ipod for my long walks to work. The music aspect of the iPhone is really important to me, so naturally I was very dissapointed to find out that my current iTunes can't detect it. I've read around and the obvious solution is to update to Lion and to download the most recent iTunes. But my Macbook 2008 cannot handle Lion; it would slow down significantly and its memory can't handle it.
    I've yet to find a loophole, or an unconventional trick to sync my phone. If you have any, please let me know.
    I need my music so badly that my makeshift solution was to email my music to myself, and download them in an external music player. That's a little farfetched and tiring, especially when I'd like to enjoy my extensive music library.
    I cannot buy a laptop at the moment, so that is not a solution.
    Sincere thanks for your help,
    B

  • IPod Touch iOS6 cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.

    Hi, just now I've updated my iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 and I backed it up on iTunes before. Now I want to restore that backup but when I plug it onto my iMac (running OS X 10.5.8), iTunes pops up a message that says: "The iPod "Trang's iPod touch" cannot be used be because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". My iTunes right now is iTunes 10.6 (40) if that helps. I pressed iTunes > Check for Updates... then it says that I have the current version! I did the same with apple logo > Software Update, and nothing new. I then went on itunes.com and the newest version is 10.7, except I don't want to risk to download it and lose all my music files again, and it's not even compatible with my iMac!
    Like said, my version cannot sync over wi-fi because iCloud also isn't compatible with Leopard. What do I do? Do I HAVE to buy an update for Snow Leopard then be able to sync my iPod? They don't even sell physical copies in stores anymore.. now I'm stuck with a clean state iOS 6 iPod. If I knew, I wouldn't have updated it. Is there any way to go back?
    Regards

    I'm having a similar problem, but moved on a few versions. I've been given an iPod nano, but when I try to add music to it I get an error message saying, "The iPod “iPod” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later" and inviting me to download the latest version. However, I'm using iOS 10.5.8, and the computer can't update to a newer version. That, in turn, limits me to versions of iTunes no later than 10.6.3.
    Is there a way to make the new iPod connect to my still very much functional but not new Macbook? All help gratefully received!

    Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old.  When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
    Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade.  Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).  However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
    Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit.  That's the dirference.

  • Cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.

    I updated my phone and now when I try and update my podcasts, etc I get this message:
    The iPhone “John Mott’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    When I try and update iTunes it tells me I'm up to date.
    How do I fix it?
    Why did I update?  I use Apple because MS always does this.  C'mon already!

    I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
    I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
    These are the error messages in order.
    1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
    3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
    Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
    Thanks so much in advance.

  • IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later

    I have a user who is trying to use her iPhone 3 with her MacBook Pro.  She is running Lion and has the latest version of iTunes installed (version 11.0 or whatever the new one is).  When she plugs her phone into her computer a message pops up on her computer screen:
    "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.  Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    We have ensure that all the software on her computer is up to date and this still keeps popping up.  Please help!
    Thanks!

    Restart the Mac and try again.
    You can always re download iTunes here >  Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    No need to uninstall the currently installed copy of iTunes before doing so. 
    The latest version of iTunes available is v11.0.4
    With iTunes open, from the menu bar click iTunes > About iTunes
    That will tell you the currently installled version.

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

    i have 64 bit windows 7- and itunes version 10.6.1.7. yet i cannot connect to the itunes store.  do i need to download something additional?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I cannot install itunes because of an older version of bonjour that I cannot delete.

    I cannot install itunes because of an older version of bonjour that I cannot delete.

    (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 Bonjour 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?
