New version of iTunes stutters/trips out while my music is playing.

A few days ago I downloaded the new version of iTunes and later on I figured out it was a recipe for disaster, almost every song I have in my library stutters or does some thing that distorts the audio during its playback. After all that tom foolery I decided it was time to fix this issue, I tried every ******* logical approach to fixing it, I tried doing stunts on my motorcycles, I tried returning over due library books, I tried participating in my schools talent show, I tried singing some karaoke; in hopes of finally fixing the break in the space-time continuum. Sadly my award winning solutions were futile so Im very upset to say I wont be using iTunes for quite some time. Atleast not until i can hear my music without any stutters in it. So if someone at apple/itunes is reading this: please look into this.

Hi thatbitchepitomizespersistency,

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

HT1199 Newer version of iTunes will not open. My music is gone. How can I get the older version back?

My "newer version" of itunes will not open. How can I either get it to open or get the older version which worked fine?

Restore the backup before you installed.
If you didn't make a backup, at very minimum make sure your Music library isn't compromised by locating the folder you selected the music to be in (usually in Users -> yourname -> Music) and make sure there are several MB of data there by clicking once on the folder, and selecting Get Info from the File menu in the Finder.
If you can't find it, try to locate parts of track names with Find Any File.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
then determine which parent file of the .mp3 or .mpa files you have contains all of the music files by getting info under each previous folder in the folder tree.
Once you determine which folder contains all your music, back it up using the Finder, or backup the entire hard drive using cloning software at least to two different drives or two complete copies on DVDs:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
You'll then want to erase and install 10.6 from the system installer you used to put 10.6 on your Mac, and run the combo 10.6.8 updater and apply the necessary security updates:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
Then you can install older versions of iTunes for the Mac from here, once you determine which version is compatible with 10.6.8 that you liked before by first checking which version is compatible with what you need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
Once you know that, if you can't find it with Google, let us know and maybe one of us can help. Lastly reload your music in your music folder, and your other applications.

HT1386 New version of iTunes won't let me move music to my iPod.

How do you move music from your iTunes library to your iPod with the new version of iTunes?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

I have had my account for a long time.

Do you currently have a credit card set up in your iTunes store Enter Payment Information screen?
If so, grab a recent statement for that card and check to make sure that the address that shows up in your Enter Payment Information screenexactly matches the address showing on your credit card statement. For example, if your address in the credit card statement says "Street", the iTunes screen has to also say "Street" (Not St or Str.) Also match the capitalisation of the address on your statement. (If it says STREET in the statement make it say STREET in the iTunes screen, not Street or street.)
Also make sure that your name in the iTunes screen exactly matches the one in your statement. (Say, if you've got a middle initial in the credit card statement name, you need one in the iTunes screen.)
After doing that, does that get you past the invalid address thing?
If not, there's some additional suggestions in the following post:

I just updated and downloaded the new version of iTunes. I then downloaded some music and now the music won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes. The tracks play for a few seconds and then skip to the next track

I just downloaded and updated the newest version of iTunes. After updating I downloaded some new music and synced the iPod. The music doesn't play. It'll play about 30 seconds of the song and then skip automatically to the next song. I restarted the iPod. I restored it. It still didn't work. Then I tried listening to the music from my laptop straight from iTunes...and it's still doing it.
How do I fix it?

I'm assuming the tracks that won't play copy/are displayed with exclamation marks. This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Latest version of iTunes update wiped out all my music

I just installed the latest iTunes update and it wiped out my whole music library. What do I do now? How do I get it back? All I did was press the Install Link. I have done this a dozen or more times with no problem. I highly recommend NOT installing the update until Apple fixes this Glitch!!!!

No.
What type of Computer do you have and what is its Operating System.

TS1424 Can't get Genius Suggestions to work in new version of ITunes

Genius Suggestions used to come up automatically in previous versions. Miss that a lot!! Help menu says select Genius Playlist (where is that), select song & choose Genius Suggestions from action menu (where is that) and then click create genius playlist. Click refresh for new songs.
Non of the above is working for me.,

if you have updated to the new versions of iTunes then just hit CTRL S and the play list should be on the left side of you screen

I have a new version of iTunes and am unable to copy my albums to my iPod...as I used to be able to easily do. How do I copy albums to my iPod?

I have a new version of iTunes on my computer & copied some music albums into iTunes...but I cannot transfer/copy these albums to my iPod Touch.
How do I do that?

If the music that was removed from your iPod (which happened as a result of syncing it with a new computer... an iPod is designed to sync with only one library at a time. Connecting it to a new/different iTunes library will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library) is no longer in a backup anywhere or another PC, then there is no way to tell what used to be on your iPod.
You'll need to either rerip the tracks you had from CDs back into iTunes or redownload them from iTunes via iCloud if possible.

Can it harm my ipod touch in any way or the files on it if it was connected to the computer while updating to a new version of itunes?

Also, I tried asking support before I tried this forum and I think I asked it under the wrong category (troubleshooting and not using ipod with itunes) and they had me run an ios diagnostic test, if I'm not having trouble with my ipod and I ran it can that harm the ipod or affect it in any way?
Thank You!

I'm not having any problem that I can see, I was just curious as to if it can harm my ipod or any files on it if I have it connected to my computer while I'm updating to a new version of itunes. It ejected a few times and then again when I had to restart my computer. It seems to be working fine I was just wondering if it can affect affect the ipod at all if I have it connected while updating to a new version of itunes.
And also if running ios diagnostics from support can do anything if I wasn't having trouble. I wasn't able to talk to anyone because I'm out of warranty for tech support for that device.

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
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.
When you get it all working make a backup!
