Multiple issues with iTunes/iPhone Music Library

I have been having several problems with the new update (for the iPhone and iTunes.)
First, when I download music from iTunes, I always clean up the album names (for instance, if I download an album that is called "Can't Stop Me - EP", I always remove the "EP" part, etc. That includes anytime it says Deluxe or Single. I have always done this to keep my library clean, but since the new update, every time I fix it, I'll close iTunes, and when I reopen it later, some of the media I change reverts back to the original name. If I check info on the media, the name I changed it to is still there, and when I click "OK", it reverts back to the new name. Why is this? It is also never consistent, and it picks random media to revert every time I go into iTunes.
Also, one other issue I am having is I am seeing duplicates of artists in my Music on my iPhone. Avicii shows up twice with the same media listed under his name. What's weird, is that when listed alphabetically, the letter "E" appears above one of the duplicates. If I try to erase it, my phone crashes and both Avicii's disappear. If I sync my phone, the duplicates reappear and the cycle repeats. It does this for a few other artists in my library as well.
I've tried resetting my phone and it fixes the solution for a bit, but then it happens again. Some solutions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working. Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it.
What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files. After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu. Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues. This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired. I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there. Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

New to a Mac in general and having multiple issues with iTunes - Help?

So I bought my first mac for design/marketing uses (flyers, video etc) and figured I'd consolidate my wife and I's iTunes stuff to it as well...So far most things are done but I have a few snags.
In moving everything over I knew I would end up with a lot of duplicates, we both had a lot of the same music via the CD's we own. The process I did was I connected the external drives from my machine and my wifes machine to the Mac which already had an external blank 200GB drive connected to it and iTunes was setup to use that drive as the music folder location. I then added all the music from the external drives from my machine and wifes machine to iTunes one at a time. I then imported the library playlists etc and changed the path in the files from "M:\itunes music\" to "file://localhost/music" ... This worked, all playlists are back and work.
For handling duplicates on my windows machines in the past I would sort to show duplicates then would go through selecting all duplicates (using ctrl key to select a lot at a time) then delete those in iTunes, it would ask to delete the file and I always had it delete the files because the files themselves were always duplicated (those file being songname1.mp3, songname2.mp3 etc). This worked for the windows machines...not so much for the mac. Apparently the mac didn't duplicate all actual files and instead created duplicate entries based on the same file in a lot of cases.
Snags:
It looks like the duplicates the mac is showing sometimes are showing multiple entries in iTunes for the same physical file, so If I delete the file, I'm deleting the only copy of the song. Sometimes though there are songname1.mp3, songname2.mp3 etc...This makes it extremely difficult to kill out the duplicates because now I have to look to see what file every duplicate is looking at before deciding to delete file or not...I would be sitting here for weeks on end to do that! I need a better solution.
Second snag that I think is related to the first. My iTunes library is showing 213GB's worth of music being stored on the 200GB drive. I think this is due to the duplicate entries using the same file...The library should be more around 140GB's. I just want to confirm this is indeed the issue or know if there is another place a mac would try to store itunes music if the music folder fills up?

OS Version: Mac OS X 10.9.2 (13C1021) < from your report
The report indicates your Mac is running v10.9.2. So you need to update your OS X software.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
That will update your Mac to OS X 10.9.4

Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

Hello Apple Community,
I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up. I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power. When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications. I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac. The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play. Now here are my current issues.
When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs. I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked. Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade. On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes. I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound. iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues. Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1. All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly. I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Multiple issues with iTunes Sharing. Help?

I have a Mac mini running 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.0.2 (and all other updates) connected to my living room television. I use it as a storage/playback system for my movie collection and a small amount of MP3s (about 250). This evening I decided to enable Home Sharing on all of my devices because, why not? All of my devices share the same Apple ID.
First up was my daughter's iPad (original model) running iOS 5.1.1. It also had no problem with any of my media from the Mac mini, and still allows me to play locally-stored media giving me the option of using the iPad media or the Shared media.
Next, an old iPhone 3GS. My daughter uses this primarily as a camera and as an MP3 player for when she's outside. It has no SIM card but is happily running iOS 6.1.2. This is where I had problems. While the 3GS is able to see and play back all of its locally-stored media, the only Shared media it will play is the MP3 library. When I use the "Video" app it doesn't even show the option for Shared media, only showing me the locally-stored media.
So now I pull out my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.2 and it can see and play everything, both locally-stored and the Shared library.
It's then that I realize there's something else amiss. I have two other Macs on my network with shared iTunes libraries under my Apple ID including an iMac (10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.2, and all other updates) and a second Mac mini (10.6.8, iTunes 11.0.2, and all other updates). My wife also has her MacBook Pro (10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.2, and all other updates) although she has her own Apple ID. With all Macs turned on, on the same network, and with iTunes running and sharing enabled:
iTunes on the first Mac mini sees all three shared iTunes libraries (my iMac, my wife's MacBook Pro, and the second Mac mini).
iTunes on my iMac sees none of the shared iTunes libraries.
iTunes on my wife's MacBook Pro sees all three shared iTunes libraries (my iMac and both Mac minis).
iTunes on the second Mac mini sees all three shared iTunes libraries (my iMac, my wife's MacBook Pro, and the first Mac mini).
All of the iOS devices sees ONLY the first Mac mini's shared iTunes library, none of the others.
I've done a ton of troubleshooting attempts to figure this out; multiple restarts and cold reboots of every device, rebooting the router, deleting preference files, creating new user accounts, restoring iOS devices to factory defaults, you name it. One disappointing result occurred when I deauthorized my first Mac mini. Suddenly it disappeared from all iOS devices. Figuring I was on to something I reauthorized that Mac mini — but it never returned on the iOS devices. So although I did have my first Mac mini successfully shared at first, now I don't.
I did notice that Apple says I have four authorized computers on my Apple ID. I'm not sure what the count is there. Does that include iOS devices? I know my iMac and my first Mac mini are authorized under my Apple ID but those are the only "computers" that are authorized.
What ever happened to "Macs just work"?

I am having the same problem but might able to shed some light on the authorized computers listed:
Did you ever have an old mac not in use anymore that was authorized? Even if you formatted the hard drive or reinstalled the OS is would show up as authorized unless you took the step to deauthorize it first. I had this problem when I upgraded my laptop - even though I formatted it I never deauthorized it so I had to "Deauthorize all" to get rid of it.
Also - I've read on this board that even installing a new OS will add an authorized computer count. Simplest solution is to deauthorize all then reauthorize your two computers. Don't worry - you won't lose any data or media in your iTunes. It will just tell you you're not authorized to play that media (for media with DRM).

Multiple issues with my iPhone 3GS since 4.1; can anyone help?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3GS 16GB which I love very much. Vital Statistics are:
Version: 4.1 (8B117)
Carrier: Voda AU 8.0
Model: MC132X
Modem Firmware: 05.14.02
I bought it through Vodafone Australia in January this year. It’s been brilliant, it is this device which convinced me Apple sold brilliant gear, and greatly influenced me to buy my iMac 27", 17" Macbook Pro, Airport Extreme, and Time Capsule.
I am a Senior Test Analyst with telco experience in all of Australia’s mobile phone operators (3, Vodafone, Optus, and Telstra). I now work for a global media company, and depend on my iPhone for phonecalls, emails, internet, getting access to my share trading platform, banking apps, calendar, etc.
I went to Germany for 2 months, and I bought the unlock from my carrier, Vodafone Australia, so I could use a usim from Vodafone DE in Germany. Vodafone’s instructions were that in order to apply the unlock, I had to connect my iPhone to iTunes, where it would download an update from Apple and unlock my phone.
I performed the upgrade to 4.1, which was a completely clean install after backing everything up.
Unfortunately, after upgrading from 3.1.3 to 4.1 I am having no end of issues with my trusty (once) 3GS.
Issues I am currently encountering:
1. Dropped calls. Both in Germany, and in Australia, my iPhone is dropping calls at a rate it has never, ever done before. 1 out of ever 2-3 calls is being dropped. The voice quality is also degraded over what I remember it being (both in AU and DE), and I’m getting ‘squawks’ and ‘screeches’ in the middle of my conversations which I never had prior to upgrading.
2. Signal strength is very poor. Before I upgraded to 4.1, I was able to make and receive phonecalls at my desk at work (right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, right next to Hyde Park.) without issue. I was able to walk in between my company’s offices in the CBD and talk the whole way without problem. Now, I get 1 bar at my desk, and I’m lucky if I can make a phonecall 50% of the time there. I can no longer receive the volume of calls that I used to at my desk either. Walking between offices sees my phone calls drop EVERY TIME now. At home, with 3.1.3, I had no problem with reception. Now, I drop calls inside my house on a regular basis, and I often don’t have enough signal to make calls at home where prior I had no issues. My younger brother, who bought an iPhone 3GS on the same day I did, from the same Vodafone store, at the same time, is still on 3.1.2. He has no problems with reception in the house at all. He walks around taunting me holding phonecalls without issue.
3. Internet performance has been devastated. Whereas my google maps, email, and internet access used to be fast and crisp, now it is slow and haphazard. I am also seeing the 3G symbol disappear and be replaced by an E symbol, and my phone seems to have difficulty staying on the 3G network. My brother, standing right next to me, does not have these problems. Once again, my brother’s iPhone 3GS on 3.1.2 does not have any internet problems when he is using his iPhone right beside me. We are on the same carrier (Vodafone AU), on the same plan.
4. My iPhone battery life has been dramatically reduced. Whereas I used to be able to use it for almost a full day, with minor top ups when it got really busy, now my battery life vanishes before my eyes in half the time. This is with the device simply not being up to the task of performing the workload it used to!
5. My iphone locks up, and crashes at random times, and I’ve been having to hard-reset it on occasion.
6. My iPhone is far slower than it used to be. I’ve compared it to my brother’s identical 3GS on 3.1.2, and his phone flies in comparison to mine! Opening my SMS’s, email client, and internet browser is painfully slow.
7. When calling a number, often my iPhone ‘waits’ for 20-30 seconds at the ‘calling mobile’ screen before I hear any tone from the phone indicating that it’s making the phone call. This never happened when it was running 3.1.3. This never happens on my brother’s identical 3GS.
8. My wireless performance has decreased. I have run bandwidth tests through my wireless router numerous times from www.speedtest.net, and compared them with my brother’s results performed right before and right after mine. I’ve run this test against my brother’s 3GS more than enough times to form a statistical picture. On the whole, my wireless performance is around 10-15% worse than his 3GS.
I work in the telco industry. I regularly chat with the radio engineers who fix up blackspots in 3G coverage for Telstra and 3 Australia. I know that the excuse offered, that of the iPhone software correctly reporting the signal now and not before is absolute rubbish. My 3GS used to work at my desk, between my offices, and at home flawlessly. It crawls along now, and it does not get the reception signal quality it used to.
I have wiped my iPhone several times now. I have put it into DFU mode and totally, cleanly installed the 4.1 software. I have done this 4 times now.
The clean installs have not fixed the issues above.
I would like to know what my options are for fixing these issues?
The prime questions I have are:
1. How can I roll back this accursed update?
2. Why would Apple release a software update(s) that hasn't been tested, and dramatically negatively impacts my beloved 3GS?
3. How can I get my brilliant 3GS +*back to the way it was*+!?!?
I’m very, very disappointed. And to be honest, the simple fact I’m taking the time out of my busy day to write this post means I’m very angry as well.
I know the problem with my 3GS *is not a hardware issue*. It's a software issue, and I'd like to know how I can get my old, fast, reliable, brilliant 3GS back.
Regards,
-J

The picture you show is normal. If you lightly double tap home button it activates reach ability mode for one handed operation. Nothing is wrong there. Another light double tap returns it to full screen. Do not press, just light touch the home button. AAs far as the other issues check the in call volume or ringer volume as it happens, just a possibility. as far as the banner not displayed on lock screen, as far as I know you need to have notifications set to alerts not banners in order for them to show up on the lock screen.

Iphone4 and windows 8 issue with itunes syncing music

I am trying to add more songs to my iphone 4. when i add folder to my library and try to transfer it to the current playlist, it won't let me.

Is this the computer the device normally syncs with?
Is "Manually manage media" enabled?
iTunes is designed to synce media to the device. What is described above is not syncing.
To sync content, connect the device.
Select the device in the side bar.
Select the appropriate tab at the top for the type of content to manage.
Select the content in question desired to sync.

Issue with iTunes organizing music

I'm having some questions about the way iTunes organizes my music. In this image below shows what I mean. It's putting random songs in a compillations folder when they are part of the same CD as the ones that aren't in the folder. It makes no sense and it does it for a couple other bands as well. How do I fix this because its a bit annoying. If I try to move them to the folder they should be in and play the song it just says it can't be located.
http://i51.tinypic.com/2prxxet.jpg

I looked through and I don't think anything really goes with my issue. The information in there is more along the lines of having more than one album show up for one artist. I used to have that problem but I fixed it long ago. I just deleted iTunes and fixed the folders. Then reinstalled iTunes and when I went back into the folders, it had made the compillations folder and put the same random songs back in there. Can anyone make sense of this. Or perhaps can someone tell me how to take control of arranging my folders on my own so I can fix the issue?

Issues with iTunes Match on iPhone

I am having some frustrating issues with iTunes Match and my iPhone 4 iOS 5.
1) When using cellular data (3G), the songs simply do not play from the music app. It works fine when connected to wifi.
Under settings, cellular data has been enabled for use in the music app.
2) iTunes match constantly switches off spontaneously on iPhone. I need to go back to the settings to enable it every single time I use the app.
I feel that iTunes Match was a total waste of money, considering the only reason I invested in it was to have my library accessible from my iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

iTunes match doesn't work like that and if you don't like it then your best option is to turn it off and go back to syncing. However if you make sure that your device has a good Wi-Fi connection, re-downloading all your content shouldn't really be a big issue.

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPad.?
I no longer have a PC. Mine died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.

Having issues with putting purchased music back into iTunes after reinstall

I have been having issues with iTunes closing itself out right after I open it. I deleted the program, then re-installed it, which fixed the problems with quitting. However, I cannot copy my previous library back into iTunes. I saved the iTunes music file and the .xml file to my desktop before uninstalling the program. When I tried to add the music back into iTunes, I keep getting this message: Attempting to copy the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It does not appear on all songs that I tried to add back, but it happened for quite a few of my purchased songs. Is there any way to fix the files or do I need to download the songs again? I tried running the Disk Utility to repair Permissions, but that has not helped with anything.
I am running iTunes on a MacBook with Mac OS X 10. 4. 11, if that will help with anything.

I had to reinstall Windows XP, erasing everything on the hard disk. I had saved the music files with backup software, so I now have them back. But iTunes won't add them to my library. I tried importing songs from a new CD to see where iTunes put those files, and then copying an album folder into the same location. But Windows wouldn't copy the files inside the foder. Nearly all the songs were originally taken from CDs in my collection, and the songs are still on my iPod Nano.
Wow,
Wonder why XP won't let you copy files?, perhaps you used a different user name?
Or these are the old DRM versions of the songs? You should be able to log into your iTunes account and authorize the computer and iTunes should recognize the songs.
Well since you have the iPod Nano, you can head over to iLounge and ask them what current third party software works to move your iPod Nano music back to iTunes.
Hope that works out for you

ITunes-iPhone music syncing issue, HELP PLEASE!

Hi, after having some hardware issues with my iPhone 5, Apple replaced it with a new one.
I restored everything from my iCloud backup with no problem and it downloaded all of my iTunes Store songs on the phone without any issues and as I plugged my phone into my 2010 MacBook Pro to put some new songs to it from a CD I just bought, ALL of the songs that I have on my phone that I bought from the iTunes Store were duplicated as grey 'ready to sync' songs. But they were not syncing. So I deleted all music and videos from my phone (by the way, I always use the Manually manage songs and videos function in all my devices, never did auto-sync) thinking maybe if i drag everything from my computer it'll change, but it won't! Whenever I click on 'sync', the grey songs appear. And the grey songs are only the songs that were bought from the iTunes Store and the songs I used to have on the other iPhone, that are in the iCloud backup. I've tried almost eveything for the past 3 days and finally gave up and decided to ask for help. If anyone can help me i'll be extremely grateful, thanks.
My iPhone 5 is running on iOS 7.0.6 and 11.1.4 on iTunes
ps: Please feel free to ask anything if I didn't explain it too clearly, English is not my main language.

Im unable to assist you with the mac/mail side of the house. If you had outlook then I could assist. My thougts would be...With your phone plugged into iTunes, go to the second tab and confirm that you have contacts checked to sync between your computer/phone...if you don't then it will just transfer all your 0's and 1's to digi land. Contacts and calenders sync with your calender software, iTunes is just the conduit to get it there. I would also recommend that when you get your contacts back on your computer that you create a backup file in case this happens again, then you can just restore it. Hope this all helps.
Good Luck

Issues with itunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (32 Bit) When Trying to sync iphone 4S or older

I see a lot of people out there, specifically windows OS owners (xp all the way to 7), having issues with iTunes 10.5. Here are the following issues I've encountered (some may only have one problem, others my have a combo pack of problems).
1. iphone 4S or older won't sync or backup
2. iTunes store won't open
The issue I found after using the diagnostics tool in iTunes (which is useless in identify scripting issues or major communication issues), reviewing the windows event log, and reinstalling all apple software and components, was the fact that my spyware and anti virus software was causing a communication error within apple's software. I use spyware doctor with anti virus. I had to uninstall spyware doctor in order for iTunes 10.5 to work. After that, everything worked well and I did a clean install of spyware doctor.
If the issue still persists, you might have to reset your internet protocol (TCP/IP). You have to run a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following: netsh winsock reset
Visit this Microsoft link for more info about resetting your IP: support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
Finally words: Apple, like all other software companies, continually encounter software glitches and issues because they don't test products correctly before bringing them to market- this has been a reoccurring theme for the last 2-3 years. The most important aspect of using any software should be functionality, efficiency, ease of use, and above all "A Positive End User Experience." Wasn't that Steve Job's mantra? We can all hope that Apple embraces his philosophy and vision for the many years to come. This, above all, is not a great start for Apple moving forward without their true inspirational leader.

Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hours of frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a sync or tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1. hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
2. when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
3. you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled." [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
You could already have your device connected to your computer or do it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure if this is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
I hope this works. This may be the workaround for all of us Windows 7 64-bit folks.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

Sorry, but that's not possible.
