Lion 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3

Since upgrading from SL 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.4, iTunes (10.6.3) won't play.
I tried setting iTunes to open in 32bit mode, but still when I click on the transport arrow, ....nothing. Then, iTunes becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit.

So, when there s a problem with iTunes, you switch to iCloud ?
And what will you do when comes a problem with iCloud ?
There is a bug in Itunes sync software and Apple should fix it .
Our Mac iStuff has cost us enough money to have the Apple billionnaires provide a correct service for a such a
simple thing as "syncing ".
Apple is becoming a Microsoft clone, thinking only about money and forgetting about service.

After installing OS X Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6; iTunes quits unexpectedly when it attempts to sync with Apple TV (1st generation).

When opening iTunes it automatically syncs with Apple TV. This has worked without a hitch for the last two years. I upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 last week and also to iTunes 10.6. Now when I open iTunes and a sync starts iTunes shuts down. If I can catch it and stop the sync before 2 or 3 seconds iTunes remains open and functional. Any ideads?

10.6 syncs fine with all my Apple TV 1's, it's therefore something specific to your set up and not something you should report via feedback. You might want to try re-pairing the Apple TV with iTunes.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Lion low-power mode and iTunes client

Potentially dumb question, but it may make a difference in when and/or how I update my home network for media...
I understand that OS X Lion includes a "low-power" mode, in that it's a partial wake-on-LAN that doesn't wake up the display, etc. I also know that an Apple TV can't stream media (movies, specifically) from an NAS type system without going through an iTunes client at some point (even if the NAS has an iTunes server built in).
So, my question is -- does Lion's wake-on-LAN work in this sort of situation? That is, if the computer is in sleep mode, but iTunes is running, will attempting the stream a movie from the NAS to an Apple TV "wake" the Mac to perform its duties, and if so, does it do so in the low-power mode that doesn't turn on the display?

After upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow not displaying song playing. Why not?

Since upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow is not displaying the currently playing song. It will simply display the first cover in the playlist. Also, the screen saver starts during playback, unlike Snow Leopard. Any ideas on how to fix? I have already repaired disk and permissions but problem persists.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I tried restarting my mac and my iphone a bunch of times, reinstalling iTunes after deleting dozens of files, and it didn't help at all.
I re-installed X-Code (had to use Activity Monitor to kill iTunes Helper in the middle of the install) and then my iPhone synced again!

My iTunes is creating duplicates of playlists and hanging up. running latest version of lion, and iTunes using match and iCloud. please help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. deleted all library files and is doing same thing.

I am runing lion and latest version of itunes. I have match on, home sharing on and using icloud. my itunes started hanging up and required me to force quit. then upon restart of itunes and restart of computer itunes would take upwards of 15 minutes to open and was using >90% of CPU and would be lagging in response if responding at all one of the playlists I had created on my ipad had over a hundred copies of the same playlist. after repeated restarts I uninstaled itunes and reinstalled. this didnt rectify the problem. I assumed library file had somehow become corrupt so I deleted library files, reimported all my music and synced with genius and match. and let the computer go over night. when I woke in morning all my music was back but I had all the extra playlists again and itunes is hogging all the cpu and was minimally responsive and hanging up after each click.
I thought this might be a virus or something but installed ESET cypersecurity did a complet scan with no threats found. I am at a total loss and do not know where to go from here. I hope one of you can assist. Thanks!

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

Manually migrating iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion..

Hi all,
I received a shiny new iMac yesterday and in my haste to get it up and running, I began to run the migration assistant on wi-fi. Unfortunately, my 2006 macbook model is so old that my firewire cables don't actually fit the firewire port on the back of the iMac!!
11 hours later, there was still 40 hours left to go. At this point I manually quit the migration assistant. Partly because I have to work and to work I need to use a computer and partly because I realised that I don't want all the old crud from my previous system.. all I want is my iTunes (songs, apps, playlists etc) and my iPhoto to migrate.
The original admin account that the migration assistant was going to replace was still there. Everything seems to be working fine... I did a quick repair of disk permissions and all seems fine. So, I think I flirted with danger by quiting the migration assistant, but danger doesn't seem to have flirted back.
I've searched high and low on the web and I can't find any advice on migrating just your iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion. I did read a post somewhere (relating to a migration to Leopard) where someone wrote that, for iPhoto, you simply had to replace your iPhoto Library in your pictures folder on the destination machine and then simply start iPhoto. iPhoto would upgrade the databases etc and all would be fine in the world. I cannot find a post online that suggests that this is also the case for Lion.
Can anyone here give me some hints on how to manually migrate the iPhoto and iTunes libraries over (and still preserve playlists in iTunes, albums/events in iPhoto etc)?
I figure that I cannot be the only person in the world who wants a "fresh start" on their machine, with the exception of iPhoto and iTunes.

Resident apple gurus at work have advised me to use the migration assistant and plug an ethernet cable between machines.
I'll give this a go and then go through the process of removing and cleaning up whatever old data I can.. but if someone posts a response to this question for me, I'll happily roll back in time-machine and go again in a cleaner way. :-)

Lion and iTunes 10.5 no longer connect to firefly music server on ReadyNAS.

I installed Lion and iTunes 10.5 on my MacBook Pro (upgraded from Snow Leopard), and the firefly streaming service on my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ no longer works.
My wife's machine, still on Snow Leopard, still connects through the shared library as expected, by my machine will not. It sees the library, but when you click on it, it says it's loading, but never does. Also, I can connect to the drive and the music library if I navigate to it, but this isn't the proper way to stream music, and it means that only one machine in the house can read the library.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
bc

If I may answer my own question here….
There was a parallel thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/16577371?tstart=0#16577371?tstart=0 ), and in the thread, it points to a fix.
Netgear released a firefly update for their NAS drives. I've included it here:

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours?

Hello! Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams (primarily pls-streams) without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours? I am running Lion (10.7.1) on an early-2011 MacBookPro with iTunes 10.3.1 and I am frustrated, because it will cut the stream at least once per hour (it's totally random), while my older MacBook, running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1 doesn't have any such problems ... Any solution?

Maybe you should upgrade iTunes to the current version - 10.5.3 - and upgrade Lion to 10.7.3.

My macbook pro with OS x Lion will not drag and drop files from finder or iTunes

My macbook pro with OS x Lion will not drag and drop files from finder or iTunes. Can anyone help?

Hi, I just have same problem.. I can't drag and drop file /folder.. please help.. I can drag the file/folder and move it , but I can't drop it after move it please help...!!!
It is happen just after I re-start my computer.. I tried to repair and anything but just don't work. Actually the old style one finger double tab and lock is much better rather the 3 fingers.
Please help to fix the drag and drop for file/folder/itunes.

Why is Lion so slow? Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

Got Lion. Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes. I'm frustrated. Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
What gives? Any solutions? Anyone having similar issues?
The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

Lion is much more demanding on memory. It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised. SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations. The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others. OWC is a good place to look. Max it out. I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

Upgraded to Lion and Itunes continuously relaunches

I upgraded to Lion from Snow Lepard, then upgraded iTunes and now itunes launches continuously. I killed the helper application and removed it from the startup items list. Any ideas what might be triggering it? I am on a Mac Book Pro early 2008 version. I have firefox, Eclipse, Bbedit and Xcode running. This is getting old pretty quickly I am about to uninstall iTunes.
Thanks

I'm on a MacBook Pro, just upgraded to 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7(21) and I can't get iTunes to quit. I've tried everything I know to do, with the exception of manually editing launchd's config; which I'm fairly disinclined to try. Anyway, I'm very happy the keyboard was the problem but it isn't the case here.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

HT1553 I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML.
