New problem after Itunes upgrade.  Help!

I did the upgrade to 5.0.1.4 and am having a problem that I don't see duplicated here.
I had no problems with the installation and Itunes starts just fine but when I update podcasts Itunes intermittently hangs up. The key word is intermittently. When I pull up windows task manager it shows Itunes "not responding". It will stay in that state for about 40 seconds and then run for 5 seconds. It will just cycle through this until the update is complete. A long process.
I've tried some of the suggestions I've seen in posts; reverting back to older versions, disabling spyware and virus checkers. It now has the same problem no matter what I do.
Can someone give me some advice on what I should do?
Thanks, - Michael

Michael,
This almost sounds like a firewall issue. You don't have any problems with hanging during other types of downloads in iTunes (such as downloading the free song), you don't have problems downloading in other applications like IE? You have the latest virus definition files for your firewall?

  • Problems after itunes upgrade.

    I recently upgraded itunes to the current version on two of my windows/xp pc's.
    On the first one I didn't have any problems.
    On the second one, after the pc rebooted, all of the personal settings for the administrator account that was used to do the upgrade were gone, and the itunes library for the account was gone.
    After some looking around on the pc, I found that the path for My Documents for the account had been changed from C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\My Documents to C:\Document and Settings\TEST\My Documents.
    Everything under the original path for the account is still there, so all I need to do is get the My Documents path pointed back to where it originally was, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying that the path I am trying to point to is not authorized.
    Does anyone know why the itunes upgrade would have changed the My Documents path? And does anyone know how I can change it back to where it should be pointing to?

    Good news
    I had no problems updating my ipod and iphone to iOS4. But all I wanted was the folder option, I knew that my 3G does not support multitasking due to the slower CPU and build in memory.
    Here's a little help to decide about your update, in case you haven't see this yet.
    Enjoy your ipod.
    Compatibility
    The iOS 4 Software Update works with the second- and third-generation iPod touch. Not all features are compatible with all devices.
    Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
    Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.
    Books are available on the iBookstore. Title availability is subject to change.
    Faces works only with iPhoto on the Mac.

  • Smart Playlist problems after iTunes upgrade 10.6.1.7

    Hi, I updated my version of iTunes to 10.6.1.7 and since then my smart playlists are not syncing to my iPhone properly. The selection of songs is scrambled, and so I have a variety of my top rated, audiobooks and other random songs. I have tried removing and resyncing the smart playlists to my iphone, but this has the same outcome. Also, the sync doesn't complete all stages so I end up with roughly half of my music from my smart playlist on my iPhone.
    Not sure if this is an iTunes problem or iPhone problem, but it definitely only started after I upgraded iTunes.
    Any others out there with the same issue or any suggestions?

    Yepper.. got the same issue.. it is not sync'ing my Itunes play lists to my I pod touch.

  • TS1424 cannot "report a problem" after iTunes upgrade

    I just upgraded to current version of iTunes, and when I click on "report a problem" in e-mailed store receipt, the dialog won't open. It only shows the purchase receipt in iTunes. Help please!

    Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.

  • Vista video playback problems after iTunes upgrade

    Itunes worked perfectly with my Vista OS prior to the recent upgrade. Since installing the upgrade, videos will not play (I just get a blank screen) and I am bombarded with messages about "authorizing this computer" every time I try to view one. I authorize the computer using the Itunes "store" link, and then get another request to authorize the computer with every replay request. After "authorizing" again and again, I still get a blank screen. The scroller indicates the video is playing, but there is no picture. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, including the Vista "repair" option, but still have the same problem. I followed all the instructions--including using the "show artwork" option in the "View" link---nothing helps. Is it possible to uninstall the "upgrade" and reinstall the prior version of Itunes, which worked just fine????

    ADDENDUM: The exact same problems (repeated requests to authorize computer, blank playback screen) occur when I try to preview any video, so the issue is not related to any specific video purchase. The preview "plays", but there is no video picture.

  • Multiple Problems after Leopard upgrade HELP! Video display and FW problem

    I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
    Well, I think I've got everything solved except two last things.
    1. My 750GH Maxtor Firewire drive... when I plug it in... does not show in the desktop and it causes both my internal drive and two other Firewire enclosures to disappear from the desktop. I can see all of them mounted in the disk utility, but if this one drive is plugged in.. all icons disappear from the desktop. If I unplug or unmount the 750GB drive.. everything comes back.
    I've reformatted this drive, etc. This does not happen on my MacBookPro. The drive mounts fine on that. I've tried different cables, I've tried USB (it's a triple interface Maxtor) and nothing seems to work. I would assume there's something wrong with the drive and not my desktop... but the drive works fine on the MacBookPro.
    PLEASE!! Any clues would help...
    The other problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
    Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
    I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

    The drives not or disappearing on the desktop could point to the need to do a pram reset.
    I believe you hold down the apple-option-p-r keys at startup and listen for a couple of chimes.

  • TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

    After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

    I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
    Here's the details:
    I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
    I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
    AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
    Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
    I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
    Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return. 
    Both have latest software downloads.
    I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
    I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
    One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
    Have you ever wronged a two year old?
    It is NOT pretty.
    Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

    When I click on my icon to open iTunes a box appears that states: The file "iTunesLibrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Help!

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • Kate always open files in a new window after kde upgrade

    kate always open files in a new window, instead of the existing window as a new document after kde upgrade to 3.5. someone else have the same experience and have a solution for that ?
    cheers,
    notz

    The problem is solved!
    Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
    For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
    I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
    Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
    Thanks!

  • DataSource problems after BW upgrade

    DataSource problems after BW upgrade

    BW system: PI_BASIS 7.01 SP 6
    ECC/source system: PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 SP 11
    Problem exists throughout, both with generic and standard DataSources.
    Here is one specific example:
    Generic DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
    InfoPackage "ZXXXXXXXX(ZXXXXXXXX)" does not run. Error:
    DataSource ZXXXXXXXX(SOURCESYS) must be activated
    Message no. RSDS179
    Then followed these steps:
    1. Replicate Metadata from source system
    2. Report RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL from SE38 for source system SOURCESYS and DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
    Errors returned:
    Inconsistent user object ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS for PSA /BIC/B000XXXX
    Error saving DataSource ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS
    DataSource ZXXXXXXXX (SOURCESYS) could not be activated
    When I try to choose "Manage" from the context menu for the DataSource, I see an error:

    And no other SDN threads seem to give fruitful suggestions.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Just to help the folks out here.
    In my case,
    Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve (you reply was pretty accurate - but dint help me :-)).
    I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
    Procedure:
    Take the psa name  --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa  --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
    Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.
    Regards,
    Dubbu.
