Lots of -8008 errors on iTunes 11 OS X 10.7.5 and files say iTunes can not play with with this version of Quicktime

So my iTunes library is to big for local storage and I'm hosting my iTunes library on a NAS box, worked 90% of the time, some errors here and there but it was tolerable.  Since I've update to iTunes 11 most of my downloads fail to -8008 errors and eventually -50.  Downloads did fail like this before, but rarely, on previous version; yes I restarted them and they would download fully.  However, lately everything is giving me -8008 or -50, and after the downloads get half way they restart from the beginning then eventually die and error out to -8008 or -50. It still happens when I re-direct the library back to the local drive too. Moreover, all the downloads now show up without the artwork, I can re-import all day long and they don't work; but if I open with Quicktime, the tv show/movie plays just fine but iTunes gives the ubiquitous
I've moved the file to desktop to try and re-import - Fails

Hi Michael,
I'm glad iTunes is working now!  If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can access it using these steps:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:

Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.

  • Photoshop CS2: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error

    So, I've been working with Photoshop for almost 20 years now, and lately I've been getting this error message on occasion (but not on every file) when I go to open a file I worked on just yesterday: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I just worked on it yesterday in Photoshop. The file was saved as a PSD, and when I attempt to open it through Painter IX, that program tells me that it's not a Photoshop document. Why can't I open this file anymore, and why is it giving me this error message when I don't have Norton AntiVirus installed, and my 'maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'always'??
    Does anyone have an idea on how I can open my file? How can I get around this, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

    This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
    cease and desist immediately
    in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network is not supported.
    See:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
    Copy the
    CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
    Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
    not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
    If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

    Hello forum! i just setup a TC with two AE with air iTunes. They both work excellent with the sort pauses. Today i decide to run the Ethernet cable to each AE. Did the setup as commanded, i just tested it with a Macbook and MacbookPro and both work fine no more lack(yey). Everything is up to date TC 7.5.1 and AE 7.4.2.

    Hello qqnicol,
    What program do you run?
    Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
    As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
    Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
    Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

  • How do I resolve: "Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error message?

    I can no longer connect one of my Air Port devices. I continually get the same error message.

    Bedroom is the name I gave the device. I just updated my Itunes, and it shows "bedroom" as a multi speaker option, but wont connect. I'm not tech savy at all, just frustrated. Please help.

  • This movie requires QuickTieme, that is not compatible with this version of iTunes

    I have a problem to play a movie, in some titles.

  • Remote Speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes

    My problem is simple to describe but seemingly impossible to fix.
    When I try to play music from my MacBook to my Airport Express I get this error "Remote speakers x are not compatible with this version of iTunes." I have been using this computer and AX in the past without problem but I can't remember exactly when this issue started so I'm not sure if it coincided with an update to either iTunes or AX.
    I am running up-to-date iTunes and AX firmware (8.0.2 iTunes, 7.3.2 AX), have restarted both machines multiple times, and reinstalled iTunes and reuploaded AX firmware. Here's the kicker: my roommate's MacBook running iTunes 8.0.2 works with the speakers perfectly.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes! Turning back on ipv6 and setting it to "auto" worked for me. Really strange - trying to get this to work for months (on and off) - almost tossed it - thank you very much!

  • Remote speaker not compatible with this version of iTunes?

    Hello,
    I have the newest version of iTunes and an Airport Express through which I play music.
    After upgrading to the newest version of iTunes, a window appears stating that my remote speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes when I try to select the remote speakers as my audio output.
    What does this mean and how can I fix the problem? How can my speakers not be compatible with iTunes when all I have is an optical cable from my Airport Express going into the back of my home theater receiver?
    Cheers,
    --VesaM

    You'll get this error if the version of firmware on the AirPort Express is incompatible with the version of iTunes you are using. Make sure you have the latest base station firmware (6.3) and the latest iTunes (7.0.2).

  • Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store

    Every time I try to connect to the ITunes Store an error pops up :  Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store.  I have downloaded the updated software and have access to the internet.  Anyone ever run into this problem?

    If it still has problems after trying the steps above, try resetting Winsock. It looks like it worked for a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.
