More Problems with iTunes 7,0

I, like many other people it seems, have been having problems with my iTunes ever since I downloaded the latest upgrade for it.
I downloaded iTunes 7.0 on September 16th late at night. After downloading the upgrade I turned my laptop off and thought nothing of it. As I shut down my laptop however, I noticed that I recieved an error message. Ignoring it for the moment, I let my laptop shut off.
When I turned my laptop on the next morning, I noticed that nothing was working. I recieved 3 more error messages, my iTunes would not open at all, my music would [obviously] not play, and for some reason it ended up turning the "Mute" function on on my laptop sound system. After turning that off iTunes still wouldn't open.
Now, following the advice of someone in this forum, I attempted to downgrade my version of iTunes back to 6.0 [or around there] Now at least my iTunes will open, but nothing will play. When I attempt to play a song the information will show up, but it simply will not play.
I'm beginning to get really frustrated with this entire situation. A simple upgrade to my iTunes should not compromise my ability to listen to my music, and even the ability of my laptop to function properly.
Any help or advice that could be given would be greatly appreciated.

i downloaded the update and now my itunes wont even open.
a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

  • More problems with iTunes 9.1.0.79

    Hi,
    since I have had my iPhone I have upgraded itunes a couple of times and never had any problems until now.
    I upgraded to 9.1.0.79 two days ago and am having all sorts of issues.
    Now when itunes starts it takes ages.
    When my iphone is connected I get a message saying:-
    +itunes cannot sync information with the iphone 'iphone' because syncing has been disabled on this computer+
    I click the yes button to enable syncing and then receive an error message:-
    +itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services reconnect or try again later+
    I then click OK and my phone appears in the devices list.
    These error messages happen every time I start itunes, so by me clicking the yes button to enable syncing does absolutely nothing.
    My iphone will sync fine just that itunes tends to freeze up and is very slow.
    I run a diagnostic from the help menu and without my iphone connected it shows a red dot next to 'No iPhone or iPod found', which is correct but when I have my iphone connected this red dot is now orange, what is the difference in colour?
    I have turned of all anti-virus and firewall software but itunes is still the same, very unresponsive, so anti-virus/firewall is not the problem.
    I followed to the letter:-
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and totally uninstalled everything and then reinstalled itunes only to find the same problem persisting.
    This is definitely a problem with itune 9.1.0.79 and apple should be addressing it pronto.
    Here is the data from the diagnostic run and it shows my iphone as not found even though it is connected, showing in devices and I can sync to it, wierd!!

    mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
    my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
    MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
    my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
    everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
    but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
    i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

  • ITunes keeps crashing and won't let me update to ios 5 + many more problems with iTunes

    Here is alist of all my problems:
    Whenever I try and sync my iPhone     to my computer it doesn’t work and then my iTunes crashes, there are no     error messages it just freezes and crashes.
    After I have done this my iTunes     doesn’t even open and crashes strait away.
    My iTunes also crashes     sometimes when I am just trying to move from (for example) music to     movies.
    My iTunes also refuses to     access iTunes store (no errors it just doesn’t work).
    Sometimes I can get past the     backup issue by cancelling the back up and letting it sync, but no it won’t     even let me do that it freezes and crashes before it can even transfer my purchases.    
    All thishappens if I can even open up my iTunes.
    I amcurrently running ios 4.3.4 as I can even update to ios 5 I am running (tryingto) iTunes 10.5.
    I have trieduninstalling and reinstalling iTunes about a 1000 time and it hasn’t doneanything (done as instructed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923). I havebeen trough tones of pages on the community and on the other support pages thatapple has but I have found no answers. I have also tried to install an olderversion of iTunes but it just comes up with an error message saying all myfiles are configured to iTunes 10.5 and noting work on that either.
    This hasbeen going on for ages and I know there is a lot to deal with in this post butplease if anyone has any ideas, knows, or has dealt with any of the above please help.
    Thank you

    I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Problems with iTunes

    I've recently started having a few problems with iTunes, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to go about fixing them.
    First of all, iTunes opens up (it takes quite a long time) and then everything goes slow. It keeps automatically updating the podcasts, of I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, it says (under CPU) that iTunes is using (anywhere between)65 - 99% of the cpu. So if i stop it from updating the podcasts, the CPU usage goes down. Is there any way of resolving this?
    Also, (whether CPU usage for iTunes in 99% or 0%) all my music is jumpy. It plays about a second, jumps, plays abother second, jumps... nothing willlay properly. This has only started happerning in the past few days.
    I'm not sure if this came about after upgrading (i don't remeber if i upgraded iTunes recently or not).
    One final problem that I've had for ages. (I think this might be more something wrong with my computer / windows) but iTunes wont always open straight away, If i double click on it, it will load for a few seconds then nothing will happern. So i forget about it, and start doing something else / leave the computer, then about 1/2 an hour later iTunes pops open. As I've said, I don't think that this is caused by iTunes, because if I restart my pc, it will (normally) open straight away.
    I am using iTunes 6.0.4.2
    Thanks for any help

    I do not mean to be rude but considering the problem, What is your computers RAM Memory capacity if you are close to the maximum this could be part of your problem, also do you do disc clean up and defrag. regularly? there is also another facility that might help and that is a registry cleaner (do not start thinking massive outlay at this stage. The disc clean up and defrag should be part of your computers tools) The registry cleaner is available until later this year as a free item (Beta) from Microsoft. If you are fully clear there are all your 'cookies' clean out every day preferably 2-3 times per day they do mount up and take up disc space.

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.

  • Griffin iMic output problems with iTunes

    I bought an Griffin iMic so that I could listen to my iTunes library through my home stereo. However, I am having problems with the output. I have tried several different ways of connecting the iMic to my stereo, but I am not getting any sound output. It SHOULD work but it is not. Are there any known problems with iTunes and iMic and Max OS X 10.2.8?

    I got this message from Griffin Technology
    Technical Support, and it seemed to help with my sound quality output, even though it talks more about sound input.
    Hello,
    Sorry for the delay in my response.
    First, let's make sure you're getting an input signal.
    The easiest way to make sure that you're receiving an input signal
    from the iMic is to go to your System Preferences/Sound Preferences.
    Click on the INPUT tab and select iMic from the list of devices.
    Below the list of devices is a Input Volume slider and a virtual
    input meter. If you're seeing those lights move, there is a signal
    coming into the device. The Input Volume slider is there to boost
    up or help drop the amount of signal needed. A good signal should
    stay somewhere around the middle of those meter lights.
    Then click on output and be sure you have "built-in audio" selected.
    Then you will have to either open Final Vinyl and select "preview"
    to hear the audio come through your speakers.
    Also check your Audio/MIDI Setup. Open your Applications folder
    from the Finder, and scroll through the applications, down to
    "Utilities." Select that, and then choose "Audio/Midi." From here,
    set the "Properties For" or "Settings For" to iMic USB Audio System.
    Then set both the input and the output to 16bit 2 channel 44100Hz.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problems with iTunes Launching

    I am having problems with iTunes launching on my G4 Mac Mini. Everytime I tried to launch it the application just carries on bouncing up and down on the dock, but never launches. I dumped the preferences folder then tried to relaunch it but that didnt solve anything. Then I tried uninstalling the whole application. I searched for any files associated with iTunes and trashed them. Then reinstalled iTunes 7 (previously had iTunes 6 on), thinking this would solve the problem but it didnt. Has anyone got any suggestions for me? My only other option is to reformat the whole machine just to get iTunes working again. Obvioulsy I didnt right away wanna go this route. I'm sure there is something I am just missing

    There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

  • Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.

    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.
