Muffled scratchy playback since upgrade of itunes on windows xp

Ever since the previous upgrade of itunes, before the 10.4, any new cd I try to import plays back quiet, scratchy and muffled, so pretty useless!
All the other songs that are in the liabry play back fine, but anything new I try to import, just won't play back.
I've changed every setting I can think of, and I even thought about uninstalling itunes, and having a go from sctatch, but then I think if I can't import anything now, I'll have no chance after an re-install. I've got Windows xp, service pack 2, so I know all thats ok.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, please help, as I'm at my wits end, and I need to update my ipod!!!!!
Thanks!

Scratch that, I've fixed it.... just changed the import to a different speed..... not sure why I have had to do it, must be something to do with the new version of Itunes!

Serious issues with AirTunes playback since "upgrading" to iTunes 7.3.2 (6)

Dear All,
I'd appreciate your help - I use iTunes a lot, and absolutely love it. Most of the time, I use my stereo for playback, via AirTunes. While the delay in connecting with the stereo has increased significantly over the past eighteen months or so (it used to take about one and a half seconds to connect to the speakers, whereas now, anything below ten seconds can be considered quick), and there seem to be some minor issues (after pausing, you cannot always resume the playback without switching to the MacBook's speakers, and then back to the remote speakters) that never really bothered me.
Anyhow, since upgrading to iTunes 7.3.2 (6) three days ago, things have gone seriously wrong. I never had any playback issues in iTunes, even over very long periods of continuous use. Now, however, the playback just stops periodically, and sometimes restarts on its own after a second or two. Sometimes, however, it doesn't - and using the remote control to restart the playback doesn't work either.
I should add that the hardware situation is unchanged, and that I always use my iPod, via my MacBook Pro.
Thanks already for your help.
Thomas

Do you have ReadyBoost enabled on the PC? If so, by way of experiment, try disabling that as per the instructions from the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback performance issues
... any help at all with the performance issues?

Problems since upgrading to Itunes 6.0.1.3

Ever since upgrading to Itunes 6.0.1.3, songs will not update to my Ipod. Called Tech Support twice on this and they suggested: Uninstalling/reinstalling Itunes (done three times so far); Reformatting the Ipod back to factory default (done twice); disabling anti-virus. NONE of this has worked. Also found out that Apple Tech Support is VERY weak on Itunes support. Songs show in my Library, but will not update to Ipod. Any suggestions?

Found my solution after spending 1 hour/10 min on phone. Tech referred me to article 93716 (removing Itunes, Empty Temp Directory). I still had the same issue (not all songs updating). I checked Windows Explorer and the files that were NOT updating were located in backup folder I had created at some point during the two-week troubleshooting process. When I moved these folders into the Itunes directory, EVERYTHING started working again (creating playlists, burning CD's, moving music to my Ipod).
I learned that even though Itunes shows everything in your Library broken down by playlist, purchased music, etc.--they could be ANYWHERE on your hard drive. However, to update the Ipod, it appears they need to be in the Itunes directory.
I'm not sure why all this broke in the first place, but here is a list of the articles that I followed:
Article #93698, #32222, 93716. I also learned that the Apple Tech Lady, although very nice, could NOT tell me anything about the directory structure of Itunes, where the songs should be, or much about Itunes in general.

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and Ipod will not sync

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 my iPad and iPod are no longer recognized by iTunes when plugged into my Windows 8.1 PC? I have re-downloaded itunes and re-intalled/repaired the program but still will recognize the two. This has never been an issue before have always sync the two and the only change has been the most recent upgrade of itunes?

I had to set up an admin user account on my pc after trying to restore my phone after ios 7 nearly broke my pc. I used the admin account to delete all apple stuff as instructed and installed 11.1.4. Hate the new look and all that was left was some old stuff i had bought on itunes.Anything less than about 2 years old and my extensive vinyl library i had uploaded all gone. i back up every week. i found some music in the recycle bin and it took hours to restore that but i was still missing loads. I plugged in my 3rd gen touch. All my sync settings were gone and it would not let me change them, it was all unticked so sync wiped my touch. i tried again but still wouldn't let me select anything and said duplicate names were specified, my options were to erase the touch, overwrite the library on the pc or cancel. So a disaster. Then I logged in under my usual user id where i had failed to download the new itunes and my old library still existed - shame i cannot back up or sync anymore here either. The only thing i could do was restore my wiped touch as i still had a back up left here. whenever i plug in i get the duplicate names specified message erase or cancel and i can't change the settings which are all unticked here too. I think itunes can see my admin account library and my usual account library and can see they are not the same and this is the duplicate names problem
i would like to know how i can get my music out of itunes safely on to my computer so i can play it on something other than itunes.
Unfortunately my iphone is on orange so i am cursed with that too and their latest service issues have destroyed my battery. I can't get a new phone though becuase i won't be able to restore to get my stuff on to new phone becuase of this duplicate names error.
Apple have really messed things up for me - please can you tell me how to get my music out in a format that will play on other players and i suppose i will just have to write off the £50 credit i have in tunes but i cannot carry on with these disasters and apples indifference

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible. Tablet is past warranty, so TechSup won't help. Any suggestions?

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

I'm having the same problem! At first after installing leopard it wouldn't let me access the apple site! Called support they had me make up another user and access it from there and it worked. Also closed all my start up items. Now it won't let me access Itunes store even though I can access the web for everything else! Any clues??

Why, since upgrading to iTunes 11, are my devices not being recognised on my MacBook Pro?

Since upgrading to iTunes 11, my devices (iPhone and iPad) are not syncing or being recognised when connected to power. Now for wifi syncing, I have to disconnect the devices from power before they are available on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas? This is really weird.

IPhone 3GS stopped working since upgrading to itunes 10.5

since upgrading my itunes i get these messages saying that
A: charging is not supported with this acessory
B: this acessory is not optimised for this acessory (when trying to use ipod or anything else)
ive read "how to fix this" but people think that its something wrong with the chords and dirty products.
that is not my case. ive tried three different apple chargers in all ports and sockets in the house. none of them are dirty, there are no pins out of place, and no water has gotten near anything. this is very annoying and i cant use my phone at all. moreover my warranty is up but apple did this to my phone with all their stupid updates. you think a company of tech people would know how to properly make software but no.
so can anybody help?
apple?are you going to do something? or just tell people its their fault like usual?
also now my phone is dead and wont charge so i cant really do much right now.

Hi,
just made a discovery i wanted to share here with everyone who have this problem with their 3GS iPhone.
Few days ago i'v tried to upgrade my iPhone to a version 5.0, sync it with my comp through iTunes.
It sucked all my datas in, to back it up, but errorr occurred when the phone was preparing for recovery mode.
Mobile died, display went black and no iTunes or computer (even other computer) no longer recognised my phone when plugged in. Like if the phone didn't exist.
I was searching for answers for hours and tried everything people suggested. Bought new charger. Left mobile charging all day. No sign, light, sound... nothing.
So i took it to an Apple store.
The assistant took the phone and left, to check it. After 5 minutes brought the same dead iphone back and said mobile is no longer under warranty and to repair it will cost me over 120£ or so. And that there is nothing he can do, but all my data are safe if i have back up on iTunes.(which i had).
Said he even tried TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE!
But no help. Well that's what he thought!!
After about a 30 min or so....sitting in the coffee shop, i throw the dead phone on the table, and without any thought just pressed two buttons, as i did thousand times before. The home and power button on the top, held them maybe 5 seconds... and suddenly the phone woken up!!!!! Empty battery sign appeared on a screen, after few seconds gone again.
I repeated same proccess another 2 times, yes iphone was back!!!
At home i plugged it first into a socket to charge, pressed the buttons, battery appeared and after 10 min sign on a display asked to connected mobile to iTunes.
I did and, then just followed the instrutions appearing on iTunes. After 20-30minutes i had all my datas- photos, videos, calendar, notes, messages and contacts back in my iPhone, and even with some more extra features and improvements.
Love my phone again.
So my advice is, when nothing helps,
1. TAKE YR PHONE TO AN APPLE STORE, cause only they understand really what they can and cannot do safely!
AND IF THEY TRY :
2. TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE! It my wake yr phone up.
Be patient and carefull.!
Good luck!!!

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
Thank you!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you for downloading iTunes'' but I don't find it in my system.
I have tried all suggested option to solve it but all in vain. Please help me to get rid of this problem

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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Glitches in playback of music since upgrade to iTunes 9

Hi,
I'm experiencing very short gaps when playing ordinary mp3 or wav files in iTunes since upgrading to version 9.0 and Mac OS 10.4.11. It sounds as if iTunes can't keep up filling the output buffer in time. The gaps occur irregularly and more of often when the computer is busy.
Is there anything I can do? Is there a way to downgrade to iTunes 8?

Wi-fi problems between your router and your ATV have nothing to do with either Snow Leopard or iTunes.
If the router isn't showing up in the network settings in the ATV, it's likely the result of a router setting, such as a closed network, or an ATV setting, such as the wrong encryption method. Or, perhaps, the router or the networking daemon in the ATV may have crashed, in which case, it's possible that something as simple as restarting the router and/or the ATV (pull the plug) may clear it.
If restarting everything doesn't work, and your ATV is close enough to your router, try connecting it by Ethernet cable and see if you get a network connection. If you do, but the wireless router doesn't show up, then you definitely have a wi-fi problem.

Choppy playback after upgrading to iTunes 11

I am still on OSX 10.6.8 so I can still use Front Row on my laptop. I just recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now playback of video will become choppy and sometimes stalls and the sound will also become choppy and unsynchronized with the video. This occurs when playing video on iTunes or Front Row. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you come up with a solution?? Thanks in advance.

I was also having this issue on my iMac running OSX 10.6.8 after upgrading to iTunes 11. Clearing my user Library Cache seems to have solved the issue.
In case you're not sure how to do that, open a finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G to go to a folder, then enter "~/Library/Caches". Select all the contents of the Caches folder, and hit Cmd-Delete. You will be prompted to enter your password in order to delete these files. Restart your machine and empty the bin when you log back in.

Itunes store won't connect since upgrade to itunes 8 (vista)

ever since i upgraded to itunes 8, it won't connect to the store. it says the network has timed out after only trying for like a second. Right when i click the itunes store button, the error pops up immediately. I have vista. When i run a diagnose, it says "Internet connect verified, but then it says "secure link to itunes store failed". how do i fix this? thanks

iTunes 8 has created a serious problem with usbaapl.sys and Windows Vista, the device driver for the iPhone and possibly for every other iPod. According to my research, about 1/3 of all Vista users who have installed iTunes 8 are experiencing the problem. It caused me to have the dreaded BSOD about five times before I did a full system restore from my backup drive to get rid of iTunes 8 and go back to iTunes 7.7.1.11. The new Genius Bar apparently allows Apple to advertise more songs for you to buy while poorly putting together custom playlists based on your song choice and your iTunes music library. Pandora.com does a better job of creating custom radio stations for you for free than iTunes 8 does using its custom algorithm and your song library. iTunes 8 has now become a giant piece of bloatware. Apple should know better by now after experiencing the debacles of the MobileMe launch and the poor connection quality of the G3 iPhone. Apple now seems to be putting the bottom line ahead of all else including satisfied customers other than Apple's lunatic fanboys. Steve Jobs should know better and kick some *** at Apple's programming department.
Come on, Apple. Get back to being known for doing things right the first time.

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.4, no music will play on my laptop

Since upgrading to iTines 10.4, none of my music will play on my laptop. I have cahnged all of the iTunes settings back to their defaults and still none of the music plays. iTunes acts like it's playing the song, the controls change from the "play" symbol to the "pause" symbol, my volume is fine, the icon that tracks the progress through the song doesn't move and no music is played.
Any help any of you could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hello there DebbieBall,
It sounds like suddenly iTunes cannot locate your files. I would use the info in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
