Major bug in iTunes 7.7.0.43?

I updated iTunes 7.6.2.9 to iTunes 7.7.0.43 last Thursday and ever since then I have had nothing but problems with it and my iPod 5th gen.
The root of the problem appears to be this error message in Windows XP event explorer for the Bonjour service.
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Bonjour Service
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1
Date: 14/07/2008
Time: 6:23:19 a.m.
User: N/A
Computer: CRAY-2007
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( Bonjour Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: mDNSResponder started.
I never got this message prior to updating to 7.7.0.43, it also appears with iPodService.exe when iTunes 7.7.0.43 is installed.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 7.7.0.43 several times simce Thursday both as a stand alone install and as an update to older versions of iTunes.
iTunes 7.7.0.43 does not see my iPod at all. it just doesn't exist. Running the tests in the Help menu refers to this Apple support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
I have been through all the suggestions there, none of them work. I have re-configured Comodo Firewall 3.0.25.378 to give iTunes full access to the internet.
I have un-installed the Bonjour service through Windows XP control panel/install remove programmes and reinstalled it as a stand alone install and as part of an iTunes install.
My iPod is set to Disk mode and does show as a fully accessible device/drive in Windows explorer. (through USB2 cable)
It is also fully accessible in WinAmp, I can load/delete and play mp3's without any problems, but WinAmp does something weird to the iPod's drive directory structure which is a another story for a different forum.
I have reverted back to iTunes 7.6.2.9 and everything is back to normal for the time being.
Does anyone have a fix for the Bonjour Service error message so I can up date to 7.7.0.43? I cant find any information about it through Google, and nothing about it on the Microsoft support forums.

er...I rather think it's something with your PC, because mine doesn't do that.
What software do you have installed on your PC?

  • ITunes 8 + Vista: Two major bugs discovered that lead to losing your music

    Hi everyone,
    After much trial and error and incredible amounts of frustration, I think I have figured out what was erasing my iTunes library or forcing me to restore to factory settings. Apple Development Team: please take note. You may want to fix these two in the next version of iTunes:
    *BUG #1 - iTunes 8 for Vista not compatible with iTunes 8 for XP.*
    This is a major issue, and incredibly frustrating. I use my iPod at home (with my Vista PC), and at the office (running XP). This was always ok until I updated to iTunes 8. Since then, if I update my iPod's library at the office (using XP), the next time I connect it to my home computer (Vista), iTunes tells me it can't read the data and forces the iPod to restore to factory settings. Extremely frustrating, to say the least.
    In previous versions of iTunes, this was never an issue. In iTunes 8, your iPod's data is not compatible between XP and Vista. This is major!
    *BUG #2 - In iTunes 8, music and movies are tethered; you can't manually synch one without the other*.
    This is a more complex bug to explain, and it has to do with the interface and user experience more than anything else.
    I like to update my iPod's music library manually, instead of synching automatically. It gives me more freedom. In previous versions of iTunes, you could determine which type of media you could update manually or auto sync (music, movies, podcasts, etc)... For instance, I like to manually update my music library, but have my podcasts update automatically.
    Recently I customized my settings in iTunes 8 to do the following: update music manually, but auto-synch my movies. The result: all my music got erased from my iPod, and had to manually update it again. This was extremely frustrating.
    Apparently music+movies are now tethered in iTunes 8. Can't customize individually how you update you iPod for these types of media.
    Hope it helps.

    For the record, I tested these two issues on different computers, and could replicate the bugs, clockwork. These are major issues, and I believe are directly related to its Vista compatibility.
    I hope these two problems could be fixed for the next iTunes update. It's an issue.

  • MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x

    Here are some interesting observations in discovering MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x
    1. Importing CDs
    If you import a CD, you must wait for complete import to finish in hopes that all songs will populate successfully with cover art. Even here, success is random.
    If you request cover art during the import, there are mixed results.
    iTunes should be smart enough to detect if any album exists with partial cover art in the library database, then those tracks with missing cover art will be automatically detected and updated.
    2. Missing Cover Art
    This occurs on 2 levels:
    a. iTunes Store may just not have cover art for some (older) albums
    b. iTunes Store does find the cover art, but it is not applied to *all tracks* on the album
    The workarounds bring mixed results.
    I have resorted to the "Get Info" approach and pasted cover art to random album tracks where cover art was only partly applied by iTunes.
    In other cases, I scanned in the CD cover and applied it to albums where iTunes found no cover art. I assumed this would be a one-time fix as I expected some minimal tweaking would be involved in managing cover art.
    No such luck! Here is why iTunes cover art represents a MAJOR bug in version 7.x.x
    Day 1: I spend many hours tweaking and fine-tuning the cover art, assuming iTunes will "save" all my work. I browse different albums/tracks and everything looks great!
    Day 2: Looks like iTunes only "saved" some of this effort. Sure enough, certain complete albums and random tracks from other albums now show NO cover art! How frustrating!
    * * * Here is what is MORE DISTURBING about this Cover Art bug! * * *
    I resort to thinking about more workarounds, and here are the results:
    Hmmmm. Looks like if I paste in the Cover Art twice on certain album tracks, the Cover Art is now applied to that track. Meaning, if you do a "Get Info" on a track, you will see two pastes in the Cover Art tab, yes, you add the cover art twice, one cover next to the other so as to force that album track to get the cover art to attach. On the surface, this seemed to work, and all album tracks now seem populated with Cover Art and the effort appears "saved" when I revisit the album on Day 2.
    But all is not what it appears. The trick of adding missing cover art twice, in the hopes that an album and/or certain random album tracks might adopting the cover art you are trying to assign will produce the following:
    IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE AUDIO TRACK!!!!
    Multiple attempts to add/fix cover art will ADD TO TRACK DURATION, such that when you play a track, the lead-in portion of the lyrics (say first 10 secs or so) will REPEAT in as many times as you tried to add the cover art!!!!
    Thinking this might be a corrupt library database, I even deleted the database, started over, and while adding missing cover art, was able to reproduce the lyrics repeating on those tracks where the cover art was added (pasted) twice. You can HEAR and see the increased track duration in iTunes 7.x.x
    MAJOR Cover Art bug!!! So you are not alone. And besides all the wasted hours trying to fix this, I say wait for iTunes 8.x
    Please post and let me know if you have had the same experience with this cover art bug and similar workarounds.
    C'mon Apple! PLEASE FIX THIS. What gives?

    You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
    Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
    It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

  • Major Music app bugs w/ iTunes Match

    I have iTunes Match and the Music app on my iPhone is almost un-usable.  Two major bugs are causing this:
    1.  Sometimes, a song will fail to play if it's not downloaded.  I'll have it on shuffle-all and a song will come up and the app will pause for a minute (as if it's building the cache, which is fine), but then the song will fail to play and the next track will begin.  If I go back to that song, it will immediately skip it.  The only way to play the song, is to download it manually (with the little cloud icon) and it will play fine.  HUGE pain in the butt when I'm driving.
    2.  More often than the first bug, a song will begin to play and when it get's to the 1-minute mark, it will skip to the next track for five seconds and then come back.  When it comes back to the original track the counter will start ticking, but no music will play.  The only way to get it to play again is to seek to before the 1 minute mark and hope it doesn't happen again (about 30% chance of getting through it).  If it doesn't happen at the 1 minute mark it will sometimes happen at the 2 or 3 minute mark (+/- 5 seconds).
    Is it just me?

    Okay, so since I'm the only one experiencing this problem... is there something I'm doing wrong?  Is there a way to submit a bug report?

  • ITunes 7.5 - major bug with playing cds! ?

    when i play cds and deselect tracks, i often get spinning wheels that freeze itunes and make me force quit. it happens with both cd drives, and with a dozen different cds, all brand new.
    this only happens with 7.5. if i use 7.4.2, it never ever happens. and it never happened with any itunes version before 7.5. it also happened with 10.4.8 and itunes 7.5 before i upgraded to 10.4.11.
    the thing is, it only seems to happen right when i deselect the track on a cd, and usually at the very end of the track. this is quite unusual, but i've got it to reproduce very consistently.
    try unchecking say, tracks 1-3 on a cd, then on track 4, uncheck it as it's playing at the last few seconds of the track, like at 2 seconds left. if it doesnt happen, re-select it and try again, and if not then leave it unchecked and try the same thing on track 5.
    i cant use 7.5 b/c of this bug.
    thanks

    ha, yeah i see that - thank you! yours sounds like the same problem. i cant believe nobody else posted about this. it happens on every cd! and apple tech support today said they had no knowledge of this problem. the itunes techie couldnt test it out on his end b/c he said they are prohibited from having cds at work. this is insane considering that playing cds is a major function of itunes, so how is itunes tech support supposed to diagnose cd related problems when they dont have any cds!!? jeez

  • Some songs don't sync in one smartlist (possible BUG of itunes)

    Hi,
    I have one smartlist with 200 songs in itunes. After I sync with my iphone and the same smartlist have 190 songs inside the phone.
    The files listen ok in itunes and in the iphone (in other lists).
    Can be a bug of itunes? Is not the first time that this success me.
    Please, help! I don't know what I can do!
    Thank you!
    PS sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish speker.

    I checked "Match only checked items" in smartlist and "Sync only checked songs and videos" in iphone menu. However the problem persist.
    I discovered what is the problem. The problem arises when you use the "comment" tag in the SmartList. In other SmartList that do not use the "comment" tag this problem does not happen.
    One way to fix this is to delete the album and then add it again to itunes:
    1) delete the album that gives you problems with SmartList
    2) sync iphone
    3) add the album again.
    4) sync iphone again.
    5) Now the SmartList that uses the "comment" tag appear correctly on the smartlist in iphone.
    And I insist that the SmartList in itunes always go well, it's just on the phone where don't work anytimes!
    Incredible. I hope that apple will solve this bug. Besides, this does not happen with all the albums, only with some albums! So I have to watch each SmartList in iphone that the sync run well.
    ahh what a horror! I have hundreds of lists!! I'll go crazy!

  • 1080p download and playback bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows

    There seems to be some bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows related to 1080p video.  According to Apple, the minimum specs for viewing 1080p video on a PC is:
    To play 1080p HD video on a PC, you need a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X4500HD, ATI Radeon HD, or NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS or better graphics processor.
    My PC exceeds these specs (Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz CPU, 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon 7970 video card, 30" Apple Cinema Display).  The first bug appears when I go into the preferences setting and switch the download preference fom 720p to 1080p, which triggers a warning box that says:
    This computer may not be able to play 1080p videos.  You can still download these videos for use on other devices.
    That's odd but I press "OK" and downloaded the 1080p copy of a TV episode.  When I press play, another warning box popped up:
    Video is too large.  The 1080p version of [show] is too large to play on this computer.  You can choose to play a smaller 720p version of this movie below.  This message will be dismissed in XX seconds.
    The message gives you three options: PLAY SMALLER VERSION / OK / CANCEL.  If I select OK or simply let the timer run down, the 1080p video starts playing without any problems.  Anyone else seeing this?

    Oh that clarifies things, I see what you mean.  The error message still confuses me because even your smaller Acer monitor matches the pixel resolution of the 1080p video - the video doesn't exceed the monitor's pixel ratio so it's not technically "too large" as the error message says.  The 1080p video should fill your Acer monitor edge to edge while leaving black borders on the top and bottom of your Samsung.  I think this is clearly a bug in iTunes.
    I know what you mean about the movie opening up so that a portion of the image is off the screen but that sounds like an issue related to the default position of the window when you start a video.  The default position is such that a smaller size like the SD copy probably isn't cut off but that a larger video does get chopped until you change where videos open by default.  I can change the position simply closing the video while it's playing.  iTunes remembers the place on the screen where I closed the video and opens all videos at the spot afterwards.  Does that not work for you?

  • I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again?

    I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again. If I go to attempt to rebuy it, then it says thhat I technically already bought it but it won't download.

    Audiobooks are not available for redownloading, so you need to transfer them from your old computer, or get them from your backup. How did you copy your iTunes contact from your old computer to our new one?

  • Bug in iTunes 9.0 Sound Check ?

    In iTunes 8.x when you add a new song to iTunes (with Sound Check enabled)
    iTunes adjusts or adds the "normalization information" ID3 tag for the song.
    iTunes 9.0 doesn't do this anymore.
    Is this a bug in iTunes 9.0.0.70 ?
    Ps: Programs like iVolume rely on this info.
    Edit: 10/09 16:09

    See this -> Don’t Panic
    "Yesterday (09/09/09, by the way) Apple released iTunes 9. Unfortunately it has a nasty bug that prevents iVolume from analyzing songs that have been imported from a file. All other songs – that is purchased, ripped or converted songs – will still be processed fine by iVolume.
    We put highest priority on this issue. All other projects have been interrupted in order to restore full compatibility with iTunes 9 as soon as possible. We already found a solution and are currently busy implementing it. Things look good so far.
    So please be patient, a new version of iVolume will be released very soon"

  • Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export  !

    Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
    It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
    Here's what it's all about:
    It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
    Here's what you can do:
    Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
    Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
    Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
    Then, export your project as usual.
    No more sync issues.
    Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
    It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
    What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
    Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

    This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
    I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

  • Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

    hey there
    every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ?  thanx !! 

    You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.

  • Major Bug in CS's color profiles, color management & working spaces

    Hi everyone:
    First of all, thanks so much for taking the time to read and answer my questions!!! I am having a having a major bug in CS3's creative suite. The problem is the following:
    1. My settings are not sticking in Photoshop. Last night I selected Adobe RGB as my working space and this morning I woke up with it being Apple RGB.
    2. Bridge. When I select one of the thumbnails of my edited files I see the colors and levels changing before my very eyes. My theory is that profiles are being assigned to the images as I select them.
    3. Photoshop. Photoshop is assigning embedded profiles (of whatever working space is selected) into my files. I have the color management system on off so this should not be happening.
    The only solutions that I came up with were to either uninstall and reinstall creative suite or upgrade to CS4. Does anyone have any other suggestions out there? I would greatly appreciate them.
    All my best,
    s_ke

    Ok open Edit > Color Settings. Where it says "color management policies" make sure that all these are set to "preserve"
    • You seem to be saying that photoshop is automatically converting images, without opening them? -  this is impossible
    • Document profiles are readable at the bottom of the image window and choosing 'document profile'
    If something strange is happening reset your Preferences, you will not need to reinstall
    It may also be that your issue is to do with monitor profiles, or something similar but its impossible to tell from your description

  • Major bug in Safari 6: previous domain persists in URL bar when clicking a link

    I've noticed an extremely weird and significant bug in Safari 6 / Mountain Lion:
    When I'm navigating through a site, sometimes when clicking a link, Safari tries to open the corresponding URL on a previously visited site's domain instead of the current site.
    For example:
    First, I'm surfing on apple.com. Then, I navigate to another site, say estibot.com. On estibot.com, I click on a link that should take me to:
    http://www.estibot.com/tools.html
    Instead, safari takes me to http://www.apple.com/tools.html, which of course produces a 'not found' error. Nothing wrong with the link; this is purely Safari's doing.
    This happens often, and apparently can happen with any site.
    In other words, the domain name of a previously visited site persists in the URL, and the page that I'm trying to navigate to is added to the domain of the PREVIOUS site, not the actual site I'm using.
    This is a major bug and is often rendering Safari useless for my workflow. How could a bug like this end up in the finished product?
    Cheers
    Esa

    Having the same problem. It is randomly consistent, i.e. some links consistently get redirected to a specific domain. For example, I am experiencing this issue when using Basecamp and links being misdirected to a specific client's website. However, the criteria for why some links redirect and some do not appears random. This issue does not occur in Firefox. This leads me to believe that it is not a DNS issue. May be a Safari/DNS pair issue or solely a Safari issue. We do use an internal DNS (OS X Server) for browsing internal development wbsites which then rolls over to a public DNS. Again, this problem has never occured in Firefox and consistently occurs in Safari.
    Safari Version 6.0 (7536.25)
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
    On a side note...
    Safari's strong-handed rewriting in the address bar as you type is crazy anoying. Or should I say "too helpful?" It seems to break the first rule of usuability: don't change the interface while the user is interacting with it.
    And the unified address/search is rediculously annoying for developers who use non-complient top level domains for internal development (such as .dev)
    And the new inspector seems like a huge step backwards in usuability. (debatable considering I'm probably not as advanced as some developers.)

  • Home view major bug: Home view navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)

    Homeview major bug: Homeview navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)
    Hi
    All though provisioning somewhat more flexsible and pointing forward ... things are starting to go wrong here ... i.e. pointing to a very potential lack of success introducing users to the new Home namespace/concept ...
    0) Situation if you do not fix 1 + 2:
    You can not release the Homeview feature like this - without fixing 1 + 2.
    If not 1 +2 is fixed you might just as well leave the release of the Homeview feature out of the roadmap for Windows 10. I.e. not ready for use ... or promotion in the UI
    1) How come Homeview has not been included - like other namespaces i.e. Libraries into the Common File Dialog Box?
    How can such a trivial thing to do be missed? I.e. like forgetting to include Homeview into Explorer (would be absurd).
    If not included into the Places Bar of the Common File Dialog Box ... Home View will be unusable - because some very visible applications like Java, Photoshop will not be able to navigate that space easily at all.
    2) Finally, please fix obscure situation in the UI namespace in Explorer
    Please fix obscures like having Home view, Favorites and Libraries (side-by-side complexity and confusion obscuring usability) - all similar concepts but on a different evolutionary step. I.e. have Favorites and Libraries
    hidden - and add i.e. view control like to small buttons whatever to unhide/show the legacy concepts.
    In any case - Home view already seem to migrate/move links from Favorites to the Homeview container.
    Additionally, Home view should migrate links from Libraries to Home view - and provide similar and better functionality.
    Thus going the evolutionary way from Libraries > Favorites > Home - with the later concept of Home providing links to the cloud. Even better, sync relation ships could then later (extended features for Home) be set up among the pins - i.e. concerning
    cloud/network syncing.
    The UI should always reflect the 1 essentional concept - and not under the hood technologies or different evolutionary stages of the same basic/essential concept (technology/implementation free - abstract: "Home with pining of user data space"
    - was previously favorites or libraries (thus obsoleted)). Now the name for that concept is Home. Have it include the technology that replaces Libraries too - i.e. categorization/nesting ... and some whitespace inbetween the nesting (alike some whitespace
    already there inbetween the namespaces in the Explorer UI ... provides easy "modular" reading)

    Hi,
    Please clarify the following:
    * "X: is a network drive, but it's actually a network drive on my machine." - Is "X" a mapped drive to one of your shared folder on network?
    * What is the project directory structure with respect to WEB-INF/web.xml? Are you able to see the three pages (from web & pages folder) in NitroX Editor?
    * Does the modified content appear in "Design view" of index.jsp upon restarting NitroX?
    Ex:
    - modify one of the pages in "web" folder > save the file (alert appears)
    - restart NitroX, does index.jsp display the modified content of included page?
    * If possible please send the test case project which exhibits the behavior to [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff. Deleted this on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains

    Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff (lots of videos). Don't download any music or other videos to iPad.
    Deleted iTunesU content on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains.
    Very frustrating.

    No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.
