Major iTunes issues

Hello fellow ipod users... recently, my computer got really messed up and i had to get it completely rebooted, so i was sure to copy my entire library onto one of those little USB memory stick things (i clicked export library and sent the XML file onto the memory stick)... anywho... i just got my computer back today and reinstalled itunes and tried to import the songs back onto my computer and its not working at all... i had like 3,000 songs and would hate to have lost them all... dont know what to do... i probably shouldve put more thought into this before i got my computer repaired... help a brother out... please...

I use CopyPod (http://www.copypod.net/)
It downloads as freeware, but only for a certain amount of songs. I ended up buying it. I have my music on my work computer and on my home computer so I use it to backup my music to both computers. I'm really paranoid that I will lose 6 GB of music so I rely on it a bit too much. It solves most problems but also creates new ones... I get duplicate entries at times and have to go through and manually delete a bunch of songs.
For 3000 songs I would definitely put out $20 even if it is online. I've never had my identity stolen, but I have had my CC used. I check my account regularly so I am very aware of what gets charged and I caught the one charge that was made and changed the card #.
Good luck.

Major iTunes issue. Cannot start or repair..

I am unable to start iTunes as of late. Things I have tried:
1. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. That works but it still doesn't help. When I click to start itunes I receive the following messages:
2. Tried repairing. I cannot repair as each time I try and do so I receive the following message and I have no idea why or what to do:
I am on a home PC with Windows 8 installed (all latest updates). My computer works fine otherwise.
Looking for some help!

Apple hasn't replied, but I believe I have found the answer. If I disable Norton Antivirus's "autoprotect" feature, iTunes works perfectly. If I turn it back on, I get all of the symptons described above.
Whether this is a bug in Norton or iTunes remains to be seen, but one of them is badly misbehaving.

Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

Hi,
I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times. I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond. If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

The performance issues are due to third party software. Mavericks at the minimum requires 2GB's of RAM but I don't think that's the issue. And you can upgrade RAM anytime.
MacKeeper should be uninstalled. It does far more harm than good.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue?

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue? I did the audio troubleshooting and it says everything is fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Ipod Nano skipping songs... IPod or ITunes issue?

I purchased an IPod Nano and signed up for ITunes. I purchased a CD from ITunes and synced it with my IPod. That worked fine except for one huge issue - the IPod skips right over 5 out of the 12 songs on the CD! The songs play fine through my computer (Windows XP Pro SP2), just not on the IPod.
Is this an IPod issue or an ITunes issue? Has anyone dealt with this before?

New software update still not downloading. Apps updates have all downloaded since iTunes issue resolved. Is the software issue also related to this, or is there another problem? This is on my iPhone 6, not my Mac.

Trying to download the iOS 8.2 software update on my iPhone 6, but it won't update. All app updates have resolved since the iTunes issue was resolved. Is the software update issue related to this as well, or is it another problem entirely?
I've synced it to iTunes, turned it off/on, etc., but still not downloading.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi DebC64,
So is the iOS 8.2 update not downloading to your iPhone, computer or both?
You have synced it to iTunes, that is an option to update if it's not updating wirelessly. Please see if other steps help.

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

[Possible] Major Privacy Issue in Safari 5 - URL Autofill

From what I read on the Apple site, the URL autofill compares what you type to your history. However even if you delete your history, the autofill still comes up with sites that you visited in the past. If I delete my history, where is this info coming from? Seems to me that this is a MAJOR security issue if you're not the only person using the computer.
EDIT: Im seeing all sorts of random URLs popping up in the URL window when I type random letters. Is the URL bar also being used as a web search? (And if so, which search engine does it use for this?) I was under the impression it was only searching your history.
At first I thought these random sites being suggested were sites I have visited in the past and forgotten about... in fact a lot of them seem like sites I would have visited.
Its just so odd how random the results seem. Not just front pages come up, but pages a few levels deep on any given website. Strange thing this is to me.
Message was edited by: Frozo

I'm hoping someone will figure out a way to disable the URL history suggestions. It's totally annoying. I'm used to typing in the first few letters of a bookmarked web page to jump to it quickly. Now if I type some letters, I'm inundated with suggestions from keywords in my history, while the actual URL I'm trying to get to is buried beneath a list of other pages that have nothing to do with the page I'm trying to visit. Totally frustrating. Maybe it's good for some, but a way to turn it off is a must.

IPhoto and iTunes issues.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am having some problems with my iPhoto at the moment. I have over 15,000 images in the library, and they all appear in thumbnail format under their respective dates, however when I double click on any image between roughly image 6942 and 12428 to enlarge it and look at it on full screen, a blank window is all I see, there isn't even a thumbnail of it where it should appear in full size.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to rectify this problem?
I have archive and installed the original OS X discs, as suggested by an apple store rep and it hasnt fixed the problem.
Also now iTunes gives me an error msg when I try to run it saying that it will not run with this version of OS after the reinstall. Previously, iTunes would not connect to the apple store either, and would not find the CCDB info when importing a new CD, and he also told me that an arch and inst would fix this.
Maybe a couple of probs here, but the iPhoto is the most pressing I guess.
I would appreciate any suggestions or knowledge!
Cheers Trent.

Trent
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
As to the iTunes issue, best to pop that one over to the iTunes forum:

Major Color Issue

I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
Issue #1:
Setting Color Labels...
even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
Issue #2:
Mac Icon...
normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
Issue #3:
Adobe Programs...
In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.

Two Macbooks, same spec, yet one has major connectivity issues

Hi,
I have two (old - 2006) macbooks, bought at exactly the same time, exactly the same spec, probably off the same factory line. Yet one has serious Airport issues which are proving very difficult.
It will pick up a maximum of one wireless network, which it barely is able to connect to. There are 3 wireless networks in this house yet it only picks up the nearest one. The other macbook can pick up at least 15 other networks despite being exactly the same spec and on the desk next to it.
Even when it connects to my network, connections are frequently dropped - over 50% packet loss generally.
Both are running the same OS and are exactly the same spec. I have tried resetting the PRAM, deleting the airport prefs, resetting the SMC; you name it I've tried it. I noticed that this is quite a common issue with Snow Leopard + Airport, but I am now thinking it could be a faulty Airport card. Could this be the case?

You already mentioned that you thought that "it could be a faulty AirPort card". I agreed and offered another possibility as well.
Whether or not you are using Snow Leopard, if you have a faulty wireless card or a faulty antenna connector, you will most certainly have major connectivity issues.
You've already performed all the standard troubleshooting steps and mentioned that you felt it may be a hardware issue.
If you have changed your mind and feel that it's a Snow Leopard issue, (logic would dictate that it would have also affected your other identical computer the same way) you have the option of reinstalling the operating system to see if that might help.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested. But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism. Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all. Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process. I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

Just tried to update iPhone 4S to 6.1 and it first of all failed to back up then it failed to update so i had to put it in recovery mode and restore it then it failed to restore starting to think its an itunes issue does anyone have any advice?

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

Hi,
It's pointless to use that ammount of ram under Win9x/Me as it will be slower then if you use only 256MB witch is the optimal ammount for these OS'ses.
So you better take 256 out or move to Win2000/XP....
