Music file damage after 9.1 upgrade

I upgraded to itunes 9.1 the other day and now many of the songs I purchased from itunes are damaged. When I try to play them, they skip and play very slowly. Does anyone else have this problem or know how I can fix this problem?

I have the same situation here. The files in questions are the no-longer sold iTunes store file format of M4P. Most likely it will have to be addressed in a future upgrade.

I normally do backups of my iTunes music files. After a recent hard disc failure I tried reloaded iTunes from these backups. This was ok but I lost all my ratings. How do I have to save the music library to include the rating information?

Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk

Hi,
I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?

*The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
*Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Music files missing after sync with iTunes

All of my devices are updated to the last version.
I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
Zen style APPLE !!

It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks
L

My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

Music App Freezes After 4.1 Upgrade

I recently upgraded my 3GS to 4.1, and I am now experiencing an issue whereby the music app (the ipod?) would freeze if I do any other activity while playing music
For example: I'm listening to music, and a phone call arrives. After hanging up the call, the music starts to play again, but then stops and the music app freezes. Or, I am receiving and sending text messages while the music is playing, then the same thing will happen. Or, if I open another app while listening to music.
The phone itself won't freeze, but I can no longer play music, and selecting the music icon just displays a white screen. After a few seconds, the music app closes and I return to the home screen. To make the music app work again, I have to reboot the phone.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
Thank you!

Can't sync music to iPhone after iOS 5 upgrade

Help. PLEASE HELP.
So here's what happened. I finally took the plunge and upgraded my iPhone 4 to OS 5. To my surprise, everything seemed fine... until I opened the Music app and there was NO music. No playlists, no albums, NO songs. Only a message that said "No Content You can download music from iTunes." With more than 10,000 songs in my iTunes library, i have no shortage of music. So, I tried syncing it again the next night and when iTunes opened, a window popped up saying that my last restore was stopped and asked if I would like to continue so i said yes. After a few minutes of waiting for the restore to complete, i got a window saying that it couldn't finish the restore and gave me error number (-36). I tried again, and this time it looked like it loaded my playlists, but when I opened them all of the songs were greyed and I couldn't play them. I hit the forums to find an answer, and after a few solutions (such as playing a song in its entirety in the device drop down menu and then resyncing) I was able to load SOME of the songs, but about 348 would not load. I tried restoring it again... and again... and again. Nothing worked to get the last songs on the phone, and I kept either getting error messages (-36) or (-47). Finally I was about to go onto the summary page from the device menu, but I couldn't . Everytime I connect my phone to my computer and iTunes, it is stuck on the "Set Up Your iPhone" screen, so my only option is to restore... again. I'm going in circles here, people. I'm flying out of town tomorrow for a few days, and i can't bare the thought of traveling without music.

Music files survive after hard reset of N85

I have just reset my N85, for the second time. When I check the phone directly, I see no files in it, but when i do so through Ovi software, I see music library untouched. I tried to delete files manually but they remain there. I need these files deleted as I suspect a virus in my phone. Any thoughts on this?

Me again. I could reach a solution for Ovi Store apps problem:
As described before, Ovi Store Installer program failed to re-install itself after a cellphone reset.
If you need to install an Ovi Store app, the process requires to install first Ovi Store Installer program on the cellphone, so there is no way to install ANY app from Ovi Store.
BUT here is a way to sort this:
- Look for the app you want in Ovi Store web site;
- Click over [Send to mobile] button: a small windows will show up requiring confirmation for your cellphone number --> DO NOT MAKE ANY ACTION ON IT;
- The Address bar of your browser will change to something like:
"http://store.ovi.com/content/125XXX?clickSource=homepage"
- Click over it (make sure it is not totally selected or it'll blank after pressing a key), and edit to add "/donwload" AFTER app number. In the example above should be:
"http://store.ovi.com/content/125XXX/download"
- Close small confirmation window (close button);
- Go to the address. Download window of your browser will show up asking for an action for the file "xcxcxcxc.SIS". Chose "Save To" any place on your PC;
- Copy that file to your phone;
- Start File Manager on Symbian, and look for the file you copied. Click on it and confirm installation.
Thats it !!!. You can delete the file from your phone (I keep them on my pc)
Hope this helps.

Can I save music files from websites if I upgrade to Quicktime Pro?

I often use guitar and banjo tutoring websites to listen to samples of music for learning purposes. A lot of these songs and tunes are not available to buy either from iTunes or on CD as they are only put there by the website owners as examples to listen to as a learning tool, and they open in Quicktime. I would like to be able to save these files and either put them on my iPod or a cd to listen to again later as this helps me to learn them. I am not wishing to steal music or get something for nothing and would happily pay the artist if they were available to buy, but as they are not, is there a way of saving them to my computer. Would Quicktime Pro enable me to do this.

If the Web page uses QuickTime to play the file the Pro upgrade allows you to save as "Source" or "QuickTime Movie".
Open the page and let it load completely. At the right end of the QuickTime controller is a downward pointing arrow and a click on it brings up a menu with those options.
Not all files use the controller and the author can decide to hide it with special page code. Other files may be save "disabled".
Post a URL to a page and I'll see if the Pro upgrade can be used.

How do I access my bookmarks by file folder after the latest upgrade?

I accepted the latest upgrade and must undo. I cannot find bookmarks -- for example I have a file folder for knitting that contains bookmarked sites for yarn shops. The reason I have these bookmarked is so I don't have to remember the names. I can't get to other bookmarks because I don't remember the exact name of the bookmark. This is a mess! I was trying to get to a local site that I've been into over the past couple of years. Instead of taking me to that site I get a list of Google Search Results -- my local site is not even listed. This is a mess!

File damaged after using a smart filter

Hello,
we got a serious problem with PS12.0.2 , OS 10.6.6 on Mac Pro 2,4GHz Quad Core 24GB RAM.
As you can see the File is corrupted after using a smart filter.The undo function has no success.
Is this a known problem? Maybe with memory or graphic card?
thanks
jens

I am afraid bad RAM may be a possilbility.
Does turning off openGL have any bearing on the issue?
Other than that, boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Playing music VERY slow after 3.0 upgrade

I have a 32GB ipod touch bought in Feb 2008 (does that make it 2G?). If I listen to my songs in 'shuffle' mode, or with a large playlist, the ipod is extremely slow and unresponsive. After pressing the 'shuffle' button I have to wait about 10-15 seconds before a song starts playing. The touch controls also become very sluggish when playing songs. If I press the 'next' button there's often a 15 second delay before the screen updates and the artwork changes. During this time the controls on the ipod are also frozen which makes it impossible to skip through songs on shuffle mode.
Any idea what's happening or what I can do to fix this?
I'd rather lose half of the new features and just have my ipod play songs properly!

i am also having this problem. if i synch my first generation ipod touch and then try to play music, it says "Updating Library ... this may take a few minutes". then, if i try to play playlists with lots of songs (1000+) the controls are very sluggish, taking 5 - 15 seconds before allowing me to skip to the next song. but, it seems to "fix" itself after a minute or two. i wonder if it is indexing something in the background that it making it run slow? maybe related to the new spotlight feature? i have restored alredy. any advice?

How to I get missing music files back after itunes 11 update?

The following error i appears " The song “ -------------- ” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". It appears on about 40% of my tracks. No problem before the update.

You should always make a bootable backup BEFORE you do major updates.
If things go wrong you can always revert to what you had previously.
You can do this with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I use CCC for a long time, and I'm very satisfied about it, I can recommend it)
It used to be donation ware, but now you need to pay a small fee. Not a big price for always knowing you're safely backed up.
If you don't have a bootable clone from before the update, and would like to revert to 10.7, check this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4560565
seems to work.
didn't need it myself since I waited to update, I always check this forums first to find out what are the issues/bugs. When there seems to be none or little problems, I update. I've learned my lesson long time ago. Patience is a good thing...
So, always backup. More important than your changing underwear daily. Time machine isn't enough. Make two bootable clones. One at your place and one at a different location (theft, fire, ...), you can always revert from there.
+Send Apple your feedback.

good luck justjg.

Itunes help file missing after 10.5 upgrade - Help!

upgrade itunes to 10.5 through auto updater... and now there is no help funtion. Just a message about missing URL. I am of course online and all other sites work. How can they screw-up an upgrade like this! Now I waste my Sunday trawling the forums.

Have you looked directly in the folder Library/Fonts to make sure the font is really missing (and you are not just getting a bad message from iWeb)? If you open TextEdit and do Format > Font > Show Fonts, is this font really missing from the list?

Any Idea on this issue?

Hi,
below is the recommendation for the MOH file for RGS,
All wave files must meet the following requirements
8-bit or 16-bit file
Linear pulse code modulation (LPCM), A-Law, or mu-Law format
Mono or stereo
4MB or less
For the best performance of wave files, a 16 kHz, mono, 16-bit Wave file is recommended.
get a file converted to above specs and upload. it should work.
