New itunes 8.0 Visualizer problem
I've been using my visualizer on the new itunes and it freezes when i try to exit or i skip songs. My laptop is brand new bought it three weeks ago so i don't think it could be the problem. I was wondering if this is just a bug the developers didn't notice?
I also realized that if you connect your ipod to your computer when the visualizer is running it freezes itunes and you need to close it but force.

Need new iTunes, but it causes problems
iTunes 6.0.2 had been causing an error on my computer "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...".
I solved that problem by removing the iPod and iTunes software that I had downloaded from this site and replacing everything with the software that came with my iPod.
But now when I try to open a song I bought here it says I need to authorize my computer, even though it's the same computer.
And to authorize it, I have to download iTunes 6.0.2
The version that has been screwing up.
Does anyone have any advice?I have an iPod Shuffle, Windows XP Pro, IBM ThinkPad
Does anyone have a link to iTunes 6.0.1.3?
Or an earlier iTunes 6.0? -
***New*** iTunes 7 skipping songs problem (2-3 seconds of play only)
Hey all,
Long post here, but I hope you'll bear with me, as I reckon this is something of a new fault with iTunes 7.
Found a bug with iTunes 7 on my iPod Video which I don't see any references to from anyone else. (I presume I'm not alone, but I've Googled the **** out of this problem and no one else seems to specifically have it...)
Basically, with iTunes 6.0.5, all was well. For putting songs ONTO the iPod, I've been using Anapod Explorer for well over a year, again without any problems. (I don't usually keep much of a music library on the PC - it all gets stored on DVD-burned MP3 discs, so there is a backup, just not on the machine. For that reason, and for personal preferences with iTunes' own way of updating, I find Anapod's copy and paste approach to updating the iPod to be much handier.)
So, long story short, a few weeks ago I upgraded to iTunes 7. Left it a while longer than usual because I was burned by an earlier iPod software upgrade which stopped me from playing divx/xvid videos created using iPod Videora Converter - on that occassion, I had to pull the firmware BACK to what it was when I first got the iPod. Thankfully, whatever bug was in 1.1 in relation to home-created videos is no longer there, and 1.2 works perfectly well. The brightness feature is the main reason I risked changing the software again.
So you would have thought all would be well with the songs, then? Unfortunately not. iTunes 7, slick and all as it appears, seems to create a situation whereby, once I disconnect from iTunes, ALL songs suddenly only play for 1-3 seconds before STOPPING, with the 'playing' bar jumping all the way to the last second and holding there. Skip forward to the next song, and same thing!
This cannot be an issue in relation to Anapod, as it never affected iTunes seeing the songs updated to the iPod via that method before. What iTunes 7 does seem to have done, though, is prevent songs being played in the normal way by introducing this frustrating 'start, 3-seconds, stop' issue. It will eventually go to the next song after about 1-2 minutes of silence, and then the process repeats. Throughout all of this, the songs do play normally within iTunes 7(0.2) so it is not a hard drive or corrupt file problem.
I should say that this is not crucial or a desperate situation, as I've already found a way to fix it. Moving BACK to iTunes 6.0.5 (or any 6.x.x version) and playing a few songs within iTunes, and then disconnecting will miraculously return all the songs to the usual full playing ability.
Unfortunately for Apple, this means (for the second time in a year) that I cannot update to their latest release as it ruins the playability of my iPod. I would like the extra features in iTunes 7 (for playing songs on the computer - as I said I never used it for updating anyway), but this latest glitch means I'll be using the more stable and reliable 6 for some time to come.
What I'm curious from the good folks on the forums here is to see if any of you have heard of this exact problem until now, and if so, what solution anyone had to get around it (possibly including actually keeping iTunes 7!)
Thanks for the help. Sorry for the long post. It all seemed kind of necessary when I see so many posts about 'skipping songs' but never about 2-3 seconds worth of play (most usually say they get more than half way.)
iPod Video Windows XPI've update the subject of your post to more accurately reflect the issue.

Problems with installing new itune, different from the problems described.
Ok, so this morning when I was trying to access itunes, it said "error, send error report" or something like that. I retried it several times, but it would not work. So I uninstalled it and installed the new version. Then, I when I was trying to download it, it said something is wrong with my "Windows Installer Package"...and it just skips installing itunes... Please help me, thank you.
Then, I when I was trying to download it, it said something is wrong with my "Windows Installer Package"...and it just skips installing itunes
instead of running the install on line, download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive, and run the install from there.
if you still get the message then, could you post back with the precise text of the message? -
I have recently downloaded the new itunes. My computer will open itunes but then a screen pops up that says Itunes has stopped working and must close. This happens every time and i can not by pass it. I am afraid all my music is gone as well. I found on my computer that its an incompatible app. What does that mean exactly? Was itunes installed incorrectly? I have had itunes on my computer before and worked just fine and had no problems. Is it possibly a computer issue or Itunes? Need help thanks
Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS. -
I have installed iTunes on my new laptop OS Windows 7. I have two iphones, a 3rd gen nano and an ipod classic.
Since the install yesterday I keep getting an error message which itunes has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a soluion is available.
I have un and re installed and followed a command promt reset.
I still have the problem. Any ideas?Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:

I have a new laptop so I download again iTunes...the problem here is that I just got a cd and I tried to put it on my iPod and it won't let me, how can I fix this?
The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers -
my computer crashed so i had to reformat, but the only problem is i lost my old itunes account, had to download new version. Now i have an ipod full of music but how can i place all my music I have on the ipod into my new itunes account??
Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

My ipad mini is not being recognized by the new iTunes update that just came out about a week ago it worked fine till the update I have windows 8.1 does anyone know how to fix this problem and I just bought my ipad mini
I found this is another thread - same issue.
Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 on my computer with windows vista on it. Now every time I try to run a video it shuts off iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice. Is there a fix? Is it possible I am missing part of the program?
I'd start with the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows -
I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?
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) (not for XP) 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.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?
Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

Problem recreating new itunes profile on a new hardrive
I installed a new hardrive on my cpu ( old one is there and still works, just full). I had itunes on old drive and had money left in my shopping cart with earmarked songs to buy. Now, I am on the new drive, just installed a new itunes, and it looks like it carried over some of the library on old drive, but I would like to put the listing of the earmarked songs to buy back into the new shopping cart( empty now). I thought the Apple site where I went to the store to earmark the songs would have the list and automatically put it back into the new shopping cart. It is not there. How do I get my list back into the shopping cart? thanks for help, will
If the tracks were kept in the iTunes Store Shopping Cart, then they weren't being held on your system and transferring to a new drive shouldn't have affected anything. Make sure you're logged into the correct account on the iTunes Store. If you are, try logging out of your Store account and back in.
Note that using the Shopping Cart as a "wish list" isn't a good idea. Items can be removed from the iTunes Store at any time, and if you have one in your Shopping Cart, it can in some cases corrupt the Cart if an item is indeed removed. You should only use the Shopping Cart for items you plan to purchase very soon (within a day or so). If you want to create a "wish list", create a normal playlist and drag the items you want to save to that playlist from the iTunes Store. That will keep them for future purchase while not risking problems with your Shopping Cart. -

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??iPod won't turn on.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
