OS X Yosemite iTunes bug

My mac computer is running OS X Yosemite, and the application folder is empty but i still have most apps on my dock - things like finder, iMovie, iPhoto, and others. But iTunes isn't there... When i try to install iTunes from the apple site it downloads and brings me to the window where you go through the install process, reading the license agreement and such. When i make it to the end, it makes a noise to indicate it is done and the text in the window says download completed, but iTunes doesn't appear in the applications folder or dock. when i click the iTunes file on the desktop - (it has a image of a disk or connected device and i can eject it if i want)- it opens the installation process tab again.

Yes, thank you for your reply, this topic (itunes wont open after yosemite) helped me, now itunes works

Interesting Logic iTunes bug?

Hello all,
I have been trying to overcome this interesting problem the last few days. I have a great mix I've been working on for some time now, and when I bounce the file, everything seems to go fine. When I play the file in Finder, it sounds great, just how it should. As soon as I click and drag that file into iTunes, about a minute and half into the tune, it starts to sound... shaky. That's the only word I can use to describe it. Its not exactly "phasey" but its a mid point between choppy and phasey. Anyone else have this problem? This is brand new for me, and perhaps its an iTunes bug?
Thanks,
Brian Armstrong

Hi Brian,
I'm still on Panther, but never had that problem or knew about it.
If I get some information on it, I posted to you.
Cheers,
Jorge

After updating to Yosemite ITunes update does not keep me logged in all the time. What happen to staying logged in when I decide to logout? Anyone know were to find info on being g able to turn this feature on or off? Thank you all who reply I use my ITunes all the time and hate it to put password in all the time is so frustrating to me.

Video of an iTunes bug when purchasing music already purchased....

Hi Apple iTunes,
I sent customer support a description of the problem, but it's difficult to actually describe what happens in an email.
So... this time I made a video of the problem. Please feel free to share with iTunes qe & dev team.
I just published the video to YouTube. The title is "iTunes bug" and the tags are iTunes, Apple, Rockit
And this is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMuzUnqR-10
Hope this helps - it's much easier to actually show the problem than to try to describe it. If you would like me to make the video private to a specific YouTube user account for iTunes customer support, let me know and I am happy to oblige.
Best,
Gary

Hi Gary, welcome to Apple Discussions.
In summary the "bug" you are describing is this:
You can make a purchase from the iTunes store, which if you don't backup somewhere, it is possible for you to lose, either through hardware failure, loss, theft or an inadvertent sync.
The terms and conditions of the iTunes Store, set in part by agreements made with the various rights holders of the copyright material, permit a single download of each purchased item which you, as the end user, are encouraged to back up at the earliest opportunity. iTunes is no different from Amazon and other online digital resellers in this respect. There are stores which do permit subsequent downloads but it is not the standard model, at least with regard to media. Mobile Apps from the iTunes Store can be downloaded multiple times and it may be that over time the music industry will adopt the same model.
When using an iPhone or any other iDevice to makes purchases you should transfer these to an iTunes library as soon as possible and, further, you should also back up this library and and all its content.
In the event of an accident involving loss of data, e.g. a hard drive crash between purchase and backup then most stores will, if you explain the circumstances clearly and ask nicely, be prepared to allow a repeat download of the lost items, particularly if you are asking for one or two items rather than everything you've ever purchased. However there is no obligation for them to do so and while some users have had entire collections replaced that level of help will only be offered once, if at all.
If it matters to you, back it up...

Yosemite/iTunes 12.1.26: no way to import movies

Hi to everybody. I know this matter has been discussed already in other posts but I've tried all the way to import h265/m4v movies into iTunes 12 with Yosemite 10.10.0 and nothing happens. I underline that:
- "add to library" doesn't work either selecting the songs or movies libraries
- drag&drop doesn't work in either libraries
I then said: the problem is that the movie is encoded in H.265. Partially true because the same problem is with H.264 but I am able to import a 3-400Mbyte (part of) h265/m4v movie but not the 2,77Gbyte entire movie. Is the size a problem. It shouldn't but if it is then is as bug.
Does anybody have suggestions? (the purpose is to move them then to Ipad and iPhone)
Thanks
Simon
By the way: the encoder is Handbrake Nightly build but i believe the problem is not here (on the iPad 3 Mini I had to instal the h265 App otherwise I couldn't view the short movie. Strange, shouldn't h265 be there by default in iOS 8.1?).

Here is the answer: evidently iTunes doesn't recognize the encoder and doesn't import h265s.

OSX Yosemite + iTunes 12 no longer sees iPad or iPod Touch

I have an iMac (2013 model) which I recently upgraded to Yosemite. All went smoothly. iTunes was also upgraded to the latest version.
Having bought some new music, I wanted to sync my iPad (3, retina) and iPod Touch with the playlists / music. However, neither of them are picked up by iTunes when I connect directly to the iMac via the USB cable. This is the same USB cable used previously (and which still works for my Windows PC).
I followed the trouble-shooting steps of restarting both devices, iTunes and the iMac, but no change. All the latest upgrades are applied to the iPad and the iMac, although the iPod Touch remains on the old 3.1.3 software which is the latest software for this device.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks
Guy

Apple TV no longer working after Yosemite/iTunes 12 on 27" imac

I have a newer 27" iMac and Apple TV that worked together fine until I upgraded last night to Yosemite and iTunes 12. Now the Apple TV just keeps telling me to turn on home sharing on my iMac. iTunes is open and all the settings are right. This is so frustrating.....

zineer wrote:
Turning on/off Home Sharing in iTunes alone didn't work for me. What eventually worked: (not sure how much was necessary or unnecessary, but tried a few things based on the posts above)
-On Mac:
--Turned off Home Sharing in iTunes (File -> Home Sharing)
--Changed Library Name in iTunes (in Preferences)
-On AppleTV:
--Turn Home Sharing Off (Setting -> Computers)
--Turn Home Sharing On
-On Mac:
--Turn on Home Sharing (File -> Home Sharing)
That did not work
Now I have a new library name NLOL

ITunes bug - Sync not working, not recognising free space on iPhone

After doing the latest iTunes update, I went to sync my iPhone 5 and got this error message, "The iPhone "X" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 3.24 GB required)."
However, I have 23GB left of free space, and there is nowhere near that amount of content to sync. It appears as though its not recognising the free space. I think it could be a bug in the latest iTunes update. Anyone had the same issue? Know of any fixes?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You said that you have 23 gigs left of space, but that you're trying to sync over 38 GB? Can you give me a separate number of how much space is currently being used on the phone and how much information it says will be on the phone once you've synced? that's the number that it gives you in the capacity bar before you hit 'apply'

ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore

The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.

UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
<key>allow-half-stars</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>
After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled?

ITunes Bug - iTunes changed video dimensions

I can't seem to figure this out:
Used Handrake 0.9.1 to create m4v movie file at 853 x 478 H.264, AAC
Finder shows the dimensions at 853 x 478
Quicktime shows the dimensions at 853 x 478
However, iTunes has the dimensions at 1011 x 478. What is going on here? How can that be possible? Of course, now I can't get the file on to my ipod or touch at this size.
Anyone have any solutions? I am trying now the feature in iTunes to covert the movie to play on an iPod. Do you think that will work?
Is there any other work around?

ITunes bug using "Automatically fill free space with songs"

Using iTunes 10.1.0.54 on Windows 7 I've encountered an issue when using the "Automatically fill free space with songs" option with any of my iPod devices.
The first time I synchronized my iPod using this option everything worked as expected - all the music from my selected playlists was transfered to the device as well as "random" music to fill the remaining space.
However once I changed the content of the selected playlists and tried to synchronize the device again I got an over capacity warning since the selected music list was now larger than before.
The only way to properly get my iPod to sync again was to deselect the "Automatically fill free space with songs" option, sync (removing all the extra songs), then re-enable the auto fill option and sync again.
From a usability point of view this shouldn't be the expected behaviour. When the selected music set grows iTunes should randomly deselect music from the "auto fill" list on the iPod to allow the user to successfully sync their device.
Is this really the intended behaviour from Apple or is this a bug in iTunes?

you can report bugs to Apple via this site.

Yosemite iTunes update 12.0.1 keeps repeating the install

Early 2008 Mac Pro running Yosemite. Update 12.0.1 for iTunes keeps repeating. I now have 12 instances listed as being installed. The notification for the update continues to be displayed in the App Store. Has anyone else had this problem. Otherwise I will start troubleshooting.

Boot into Recovery and repair the drive.
Do a safe boot.
Restore from backups and do a clean install of either Yosemite (and save the installer!) or Mavericks for now.
Your system use to be fine, so if you do install whatever you have on TimeMachine or cloned, make a new clone of the system to keep handy for safety net or dual boot.
Install issues with Yosemite have been seen, check Mac OS X forum, have not been over on iTunes forum which would be a good idea but it does not seem common let alone wide-spread. Obviously you want to uninstall iTunes completely so there is no remnant.

Itunes bug with MSN notification sounds

just thought i would report this, considering the fourms is the only way i know of reporting bugs. but i noticed a problem with itunes7 . whenever i recive a notification sound from Windows Live Messanger and im playing music on my itunes, my music skips. the only thing i can do is turn off all notification sounds on msn so itunes playback doesnt skip.
off topic question... how do i change my display name for the fourms? (I really have no idea where to post this question)

This is a non fixable problem. I pretty much know it can't be fixed by user intervention.
The problem lies when something other than iTunes tries to use your soundcard. Soundevents in Windows, games you're playing while using iTunes, anything having to do with the soundcard.
The only way you can bypass this is if you disable sound events or any other sound card use when using iTunes. Basically making sure that iTunes is the only application using the sound card.
We definitely need a fix. Fast.

Adding picture to mp3 files in iTunes Bugs found!

There is a bug when you adding picture to lots of music in an album. Which you when you finish adding the picture, some of them changed the picture...but there are some not changed. Those not changed picture mp3 files are all bugged, the bug is which your music will be repeating at the first few sec. Its kinda annoying! Need to delete the whole mp3 file away...
Please help to contact Apple about this bugs and fix it quickly! Thank you.

I was having the same issue with a few (not all) .m4k files on a NAS -- in my case the problem was something with file attributes/permissions (I'm using Windows 7).
ITunes could not change the actual file (rename/move to keep organized, add artwork, etc), though Windows would update the file date when I did attempt these things. Permissions seemed fine for the files, but the fix was to simply change an attribute and hit 'Apply' from the file properties window (right click file in File Explorer...Properties).
Specifically, most of my files had the Archive attribute checked, which I just unchecked and hit Apply. The issue wasn't the setting since all of my files have this attribute set and most can be edited by Itunes, but by changing the attribute, it fixed whatever weird issue there was with iTunes altering the file.
