More problems with new itunes not starting

Hi,
Have recently downloaded upgrade of iTunes and experienced the same problems as a few others - no response when trying to start it up. I was very happy indeed yesterday when the Quicktime standalone fix worked and my music reappeared. However, on restarting today, it's back to the square one - no response! Am I doing something wrong or is there anyone who can help?

I'm having the same problem on my desktop. I've done both a spyware search using ewido, and a virus check using symantec, neither of which helped. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that also didn't help. Each time I try staring itunes I get the message:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I'd be happy to send the error report that I get along with this message.
Oddly enough, this problem is only occuring on one computer. I have no problem with it on my laptop. I hadn't updated itunes for a while on my desktop.

Problems with new iTunes categories

My podcast, the Amateur Traveler (http://AmateurTraveler.com) is having a weird problem with the new iTunes categories. Using the new guidelines I changed my two feeds (AAC, MP3) to have this for the category:
<itunes:category text="Society & Culture">
<itunes:category text="Places & Travel" />
</itunes:category>
Currently my podcast shows up as one of the top 100 in "Society & Culture" but does not show up in the top 100 in "Places & Travel". Since that is a subcategory that does not seem possible.
I looked at the feeds of some of the shows that are in the top 100 and they are still using the old category. So I added this to my rss feed.
<itunes:category text="Travel" />
But that does not seem to have fixed the problems.
Ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, but with "Sports & Rec" for the main category and "Professional" for the subcategory.
I show up in the "Show All" for Sports and Rec, but not at all in "Professional".
I know that our podcast is rated more popular than some podcasts that appear in the Top 100 for professional. We should be appearing ahead of them in that list, but we don't appear at all. Our podcasts have similar names, so if I do a search I can see that our popularity is higher. So why are they in the Top 100 and we aren't

Problem with new iTunes & iPod update

Ever since installing the new iTunes update I've been having problems updating my iPod.
At first when I ran the new version of iTunes a message popped up telling me that I needed to update the software on my iPod. Upon trying to do that, another window popped up saying that 'iPod couldn't be mounted'.
So now my computer can't detect my iPod. I've restored my ipod which didn't help. I would reset my ipod but I can't even do that since when I run the ipod updater program it doesn't detect it. I've tried numerous times to see unplugging/plugging my ipod with the firewire and noticed the ipod hdd was whirring like crazy (and still no detection).
Since the last time I attempted doing that I've noticed that some of my mp3 files on my ipod have become corrupt and would stop halfway through play and just skip to the next song.
Any idea whats going on and how I could fix this??

Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different. I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review. I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking. Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts." When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000. Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently. I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later. In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me. When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again. Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts. I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400. Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them. Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
My question: How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook? And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders? The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me! I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi lastskier
Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
4. Run the install and reboot.
With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
Let me know how you get on.

Several problems with new itunes??!!

Getting much of the same issues with new version of itunes. Printing up cd covers, the playlist gets all jumbled up for some reason. Also, the thing that really gets me livid is before you used to be able to randomize your playlist and the order would change. This was cool if you were going to burn a cd and just wanted a random order different than the order you put the songs in your playlist. Now it seems you have to move the songs around instead of itunes "shuffle" changing the order for you. The shuffle does work for playback but not when you want to burn your cd in a different random order like the old itunes used to. I also used to like the old itunes that would show the cd artwork bigger during playback. Now it doesn't seem to have that feature. "Recently Played" folder doesn't appear to work as well. Itunes Store appears to be much slower while searching for music and tends to freeze up a lot. Sampling songs in the store also seems to need to "rebuffer" way more than the old version. Most of the time, I don't mind the updates. It takes some time getting used to it but eventually it gets easier. This update, however, I am not very happy with. Especially not being able to shuffle my "playlist" order. That ***!!

looks like this is a known issue for the album covers printing jumbled. several work arounds would be to try print in black and white theme. You can also try to save as a pdf and print from another application like word or paint or something

Problems with iMac G5 not starting properly

Hello!
I am having troubles with my iMac G5 + iSight. It will only start in safe boot, and when it does it has some funny lines across the screen.
I know that it is not a hardware problem particularly because it used to boot fine sometimes and then only in safeboot.
I am wondering whether it is a firmware problem, or I need to reinstall the OS. I think it is a firmware problem because when I press option key on startup, that has the funny lines as well, so it may well be.
If anyone could please tell me where I can download a firmware updater/reinstaller and how to do it, I think it may fix the problem.
Thanks!

I do not know why your iMac has lines on it. As for not booting in normal mode, there are lots of cauuses for that. None of the causes has to do with firmware.
I suggest you take it to an Apple store.
I am having troubles with my iMac G5 + iSight. It will only start in safe boot, and when it does it has some funny lines across the screen.
-- I do not know why the lines are there. May indicate a problem with lcd.
-- Could you try attaching another monitor to the iMac. there is a mini-vga port.
I know that it is not a hardware problem particularly because it used to boot fine sometimes and then only in safeboot.
-- how do you know this? Working in safe mode doesn't use the video chip. Normal mode does. Bad video chip is suspected.
I am wondering whether it is a firmware problem, or I need to reinstall the OS. I think it is a firmware problem because when I press option key on startup, that has the funny lines as well, so it may well be.
-- You like to rule out hardware problems. My reading would be this is an indication of a bad lcd or cabling.
-- I'd re-install os. Could be a corrupt hd or bad hd. I'd erase the entire drive & reinstall.
Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
"The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

Problem with sync (Itunes not responding)

Before 10 days, i upgraded my Ipod touch 2g 32gb to ver 3.0.After purchase the new version on Itunes I had many problems before upgrading (6 times i download new os) and after download when i started installation process - i got error massages - and after that I restored my Ipod.
*Now it's working - but when i am starting to move the music folders from iTunes to Ipod - after 5-10 songs Itunes starting to be not responding.*
+P.S. I upgrated Itunes to new 9.0 version and Ipod to 3.11 - i have 3 computers at home - and i have the same problem, please help me.+

Hi Caroline,
Unfortunately I don't have the VI that didn't work saved anymore. I noticed that it was the function Current VI's Menubar that was the problem. By replacing it with the same function again the VI started working. I had that function in the VI a long time before it stopped working properly. I must have changed something else in the VI that affected that function. Maybe I changed the run-time menu, or opened a new run-time menu for that VI. I don't remember exactly.
Best regards

IPad Sync problem with new iTunes 12.1.0.50

I just installed iTunes 12.1.0.50 and for the first time I can't sync with my iPad 1 (IOS 5.1.1) which worked for years prior to this iTunes update. Every time i connect my device through USB cable my iTunes stops working with a message it cannot not connect and can't find location for device and I have to force quit the application. I have reset my iPad, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and tried multiple times to get this message to disappear and sync my iPad device like I use to. It looks like the sync works with my iPhone 6.
Does anyone know a fix or having the same problem?

Suddenly having multiple problems with new iTunes

So my iTunes is all messed up and I don't know why.
I recently was given a new PC from my parents, and one of the first things I did was to import my old music library (about 12000 songs on an external hard drive.) When I added the files I kept receiving an error saying that iTunes could not save the library and, sure enough, the next time I opened iTunes there was nothing there. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of itunes in case that was the problem, and after that I couldn't even get it to open, it would always give me a message saying that required files were missing. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled about 5 more times and had no luck.
Most recently i decided to just plug in my iPod and see if my pc would recognize what files were missing on its own. Strangely enough, iTunes opened. Unfortunately it still is unable to save my library. It also says that it cannot read the files on my iPod and that I need to restore its settings, but I would hate to erase it (its a full 160G Classic) just to have itunes be unable to put any files back on it.
If anyone has any idea what is wrong I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

I should add that as of this morning iTunes appears to opening fine and reading my iPod (which is inexplicable because I haven't done anything with it since my 1st post.) iTunes still, however, will not save my library. I keep getting error message {-1450}. Also, every time i open iTunes, I am asked to agree to the user agreement, as if i had just downloaded the program.

Problems with new iTunes update

I have recent update my iTunes to 12.1.0.71 on win7, however, the software keeps on not responding. I've tried repairing and re-installing but the problem persists. What should I do?

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 the 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 the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Problem with new itunes, please help!!

so much has gone wrong with this process. i tried downloading the new version and the whole setup process wouldnt continue. then i decided to uninstall quicktime then reinstall it. but it wouldnt go through with the quicktime setup either. now the old itunes wont even open, and im thinking, is it worth while to uninstall itunes the redownload completely? will this remove all the music on my ipod? if it does is there any way to put the songs back on? thanks

No it won't remove your music from the pod unless when reconneting it to the new library you say "No do not replace the library with the current one"
It sound like you might not have a backup stragegy in place. I would highly suggust you do something or you might be coming here saying you lost all your music. The pod wan't meant to be the only storage for your music.
I would download both itunes and the qt. Save them to your desktop or something then run the installation. Don't run it from the apple site. Then install QT before itunes. When installing make sure you turn off firewalls/virus/privacy/pop-up blockers/web accelerators as these can cause installation problems.
