Problems after upgrading to iTunes version 6

Hello,
I've been going through the threads a lot since I have had problems after upgrading to iTunes v. 6. It looks like a lot of people have had the same issues, and I have tried some things that were recommended. After I upgraded, iTunes would not open. I tried:
1. deleting sidb file
2. doing the msconfig thing suggested in discussion boards
3. going into safe mode and deleting 4 and 6 letter weird files in DOS - I found 3 that I deleted
iTunes worked after this -- then I bought a song and it said my computer was not authorized, after I authorized computer (that never happened before), iTunes worked for about 15 more minutes and then closed down abruptly. I haven't been able to open it since.
I also downloaded Spybot search & destroy and that did not find anything. I am using McAfee, and have scanned for viruses with McAfee and AdAware.
Now, when I restart my computer, a bunch of windows pop up with Chinese/Japanese looking characters and say that device (I think) was not found. I seem to be able to use everything except iTunes and Quicktime. When I open the Task Manager, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe and qttask.exe are there, but when I click on Quicktime or iTunes the file flashes in Task Manager and then disappears.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be apppreciated -- I'd like to be able to open iTunes!

Hello,
I used Nickroo's post:
I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.
This seems to have worked so far- I haven't started to go through ruling out what made iTunes not work; I also haven't tried to connect my iPod or burn a CD, so we'll see.

Smart playlists won't play on video ipod after upgrade to itunes version 7

Upgraded to ITunes version 7 on Windows XP using Video Ipod with firmware level 1.2. Resynced Ipod after Itunes upgrade. Now when I hit ipod's play button on a smart playlist, nothing happens. If I hit play button from itunes, no problems...
Is this a known issue with a solution? I was unable to find a solution in the forum. Thank you for any assistance.

This problem only occurs when podcasts are included in the playlist. Full restoration of IPOD did not resolve problem.
Contacted Apple support after a 45-minutes hold time; the support staff were not helpful. Won't invest in a support agreement with Apple going forward...

Apple TV problem after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

PROBLEM: After upgrading to 7.5, Apple TV no longer recognized iTunes and vice versa.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS: Removed and reinstalled iTunes 7.5 from scratch. Reset @TV to Factory Defaults and reconfigured. Removed Apple TV from iTunes Preferences/Apple TV/Remove Apple TV.
iTunes no longer finds @TV, either in the Preferences/Apple TV pane, or in the Device List. Everything worked perfectly before the 7.5 upgrade. All other features and devices working fine. Have reviewed all postings and eliminated the possibility of firewall or port problems.
Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

I have partially resolved the problem. Something with the 7.5 upgrade changed the network protocols being used by the Apple TV... switching to a wired network from end to end with a full shut down and reboot has the @TV back online... I am still working on trying to solve the wireless side of the equation.

Sync problems after upgrade to iTunes 9

I've seen lots of posts on this but none that directly match my situation. Bought a few TV eps that required upgrade to iTunes v9 so I upgraded. Now only some of the shows will sync to my iPod. Following the sync I've noticed that it is now also removing TV shows that were previously on the iPod, and removing or not locating shows and videos within iTunes which have been there for awhile. These shows are still showing on the iPod though - the whole thing is a mess.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with extra memory and a Seagate 320g external drive that hold iTunes. The iPod is a 32g classic.
Any hep would be appreciated.

I have very similar symptoms after upgrade to iTunes 9.1. During sync of Calendars (or if Calendars disabled, during iPhone backup step), Outlook hangs & sync never completes. Outlook stays hung, and hangs again if I kill and restart, until I reboot. Hugely frustrating.

Lots of problems after upgrading to ITunes 7.0.1.8 - BE CAREFUL !!!!!

Before upgrading to version 7.x of ITunes read the various posts here about issues people have had. It seems that not everyone will have the SAME problems (very unpredictable results). I did not have the same problems that others had, but I did have my own set of problems.
This version of ITunes is NOT of the normal high standard that we have come to appreciate from Apple (in fact it is more like the poor standard that people have come to expect from MicroSoft).
Here are the problems I had after upgrading to version 7.0.1.08:
1) All 18000 songs could not be found in the library. It took 2 hours for ITunes to determine this. The reason for this is that after the install my preferrences for my ITunes library were changed from what I had previously set to the standard c:/my documents/my music/itunes..... No previous upgrade had done this.
2) All my streaming radio stations where deleted.
3) During the installation process my hard drive was scanned and all music files that were NOT in my ITunes library where added to the library. I had no choice in this. This took me 8 hours to manually recover from this - and delete all those I did NOT want in my ITunes library.
4) All 40 odd smart playlists were deleted and I had to recreate them manually.
5) For all tunes that I had applied a "My Rating" to the "My Rating" information was deleted.
6) During the install process it seems that my entire ITUNES library was re-organised, resulting in a large number of songs that can no longer be found and a large number that have been duplicated.
7) Since the upgrade, ITunes does not always start successfully.
8) Since the upgrade, my 60gb IPOD is NOT always recognised and when it is recognised, there are about 300 songs that will NOT transfer to the IPOD. There does not seem to be a reasonable explation for this at this stage.
9 All the fields I has previously inlcuded in my display were changed and it looks like a STANDARD set of fields was applied to the various views.
10) It has taken 2 entire days (since the upgrade) to re-organise my ITunes library (and my computer) back to the way I WANT it. After this I am still having problems with the IPOD not being recongnised and I still can't get all songs to synch.
I have posted this as a warning to others.
I do NOT need or WANT responses along the lines of previous posts that say that people are attacking APPLE for no vailid reason or that this is a MICROSOFT problem.
This is just posted so that people can make an informed decission before upgrading.

Thank you for describing the problems so well. I also have been going nuts trying to restore my Itunes Library to its original (or acceptable) condition. I have a 5th gen 30G Video with about 4250 songs on it. After downloading 7 I found that every song in my Library had been dulplicated or triplicated. Then, a day latr, when I had downloaded album art, I discovered that every other song in any album I had downloaded (from Itunes or my own cd)prior to perhaps version 5 or version 6 could not be found. Luckily, I had an generation 4 Ipod with the original Library and I was able to download that to my external harddrive. I have spending pointless, arduous hours pointing Itunes to the correct file. Its faster to re-download the CD. Of course, I can't do that for any music I had bought from Itunes directly. Its weird because the name of the song is in Itunes, just the file can't be found. And why every other file? When I go into earlier (6 and before)Itunes Libraries, the music files are missing from them. Where did they go? When I try to sync my Ipod with Itunes, it takes forever because Itunes is searching for the missing files. I have tried to ask Apple support directly but I have gotten no response. Very, very frustrating! Any headway with your problems? Lisa

Synch and connect Problems after upgrading to latest version 7.6.1.9 itunes

OK... this is getting painful!!!!!!!!
1. Has worked for 6 months flawlessly....
2. Upgraded Apple TV to the latest update - 2.0 - new look and feel.
3. Said I now needed to update iTunes to latest
4. Updated itunes to 7.6.1.9
5. Apple TV still showing in iTunes. Went to synch - "got apple TV not responding port 3689".
Apple TV could still connect to movie trailers, youtube, everything,
6. Tried repairing iTunes 7.6.1.9 with install. Had to reenter Apple TV password. Showed in device list - still same not responding error.
7. Uninstalled iTunes - reinstalled - along with cycling Apple TV. Apple TV showed in device list - not responding still.
8. Verified firewalls - non enabled just for a sanity check. I've kept all firewall stuff off. Still same issue.
9. Tried Edit/ Preferences/ Sharing/ Share my library on local network. Nothing
10. Verified "Look for Apple TVs" enabled and mine shows in list. Still nothing.
11. Turned Airport Expres in Apple TV off. Cycled everything... itunes, Apple Tv... nothing... Turned it back on....
12. In Apple TV I synched to local itunes.... Apple TV now got fully erased. as I expected, but did not care just wanted it to synch to the new content.
13. Reset the Apple TV to factory settings...... It showed in the Itunes for a few seconds, but not enough time for me to put in the password. I've recycled everything again. For the life of me I can't get it to now show consistently in the device list..... My wireless works flawlessly browsing the internet. I've done netstat checks to verify the ports and everything seems as it always has. IT HAS TO BE THE UPDATES!!!
There should be no application conflicts, because this machine has only been used to synch my Apple TV, nothing has been installed in a while, except iTunes!
I'm about to bring it back........
Any other thoughts out there?

Resolved.
After verifying my network configurations, which was fine, I started to look at the services loaded on the machine. I noticeced BLACKICE running! Once this service was stopepd, things went smoothly.
I do still notice that the synch lasts only for so long and then disconnects the device. I have to restart iTunes to kick start the synch again. Still a little painful, but at least I can loat the Apple TV.

Mounting problems after upgrade to iTunes 7.6.1

This house has two Mac laptops, both running the latest 10.4.11.
1. After the install yesterday of iTunes 7.6.1 (9), the iBook would not mount applications downloaded as disk images. This I repaired by removing two 'now' unacceptable fonts in the System Collection. However, it now fails to verify most CDs it writes, which are Taiyo Yuden CD-R 52x. (An earlier sporatic problem, I believe Apple had attributed to its failure to stabilize the Firewire bus sufficiently before using it.)
2. Yesterday I installed iTunes on a G4 PowerBook at the same time. Before the install it had never written a coaster, using Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden media. An hour before installing it, I had archived 1/3 of the drive to Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 16x discs (TYG03), which the drive can write to. (Caution: using these discs on some older drives will damage them!)
After the install of iTunes, file-system check, permission fix, reboot, the G4 will burn no DVD. It creates the disc image, then reads the first track of the disc and (before writing a thing),
DVDSpanner: Burn started, Sun Feb 24 22:37:09 2008
DVDSpanner: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M LA00 via FireWire.
DVDSpanner: Requested burn speed was 47x, actual burn speed is 18x.
DVDSpanner: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
DVDSpanner: Burn failed, Sun Feb 24 22:37:16 2008
DVDSpanner: Burn sense: 5/24/00 Illegal Request, Invalid field in CDB
DVDSpanner: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
Does anyone know what a CDB is?
I suspect iTunes the cause because of the fact that both computers failed only & just after iTunes was installed, iTunes writes to optical media, 10.4.9 damaged the LaCie driver, and problems 1 and 2 may both be classed as problems mounting devices.
Any kludges or suggestions? Thanks!
Bruce

No need to all respond at once, I've fixed the computer; though this doesn't solve the problem, if it existed; and now makes that moot.
All the various applications, but Toast apparently, use the same 'device driver' and consequent log file. LaCie's 'disc recording support' driver is now dated February 15, 2008 (on its website only). So, though it looks the same to me, I had an excuse to upgrade to the same one installed earlier. All works now.
This is a sad application of the professional's last maxim: 'When all seems lost, re-install.' So, I'm marking this solved, though this form of solution is the least desirable: it may be only temporary; and now one can't tell.
Thanks to all who thought about it.

Performance problem after upgrade from Web version to Basic version

A couple days I ago I 'upgraded' my SQL Azure database from the Web service tier to Basic. Since doing that the performance on many of my queries as dropped noticeably. I've made no schema changes, and the amount of data in my database has changed very
little since the upgrade. Has anyone had this same problem?
Randy Minder

Randy,
See this blog about how to upgrade to the new tiers and some advice on finding the right fit.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-upgrade-new-service-tiers/
Basic is not equivalent to Web in the new Editions tiers. While you do 'upgrade' to editions, granting you access to new features and the tiers themselves, you can now choose an experience which has less performance than you had previous in Web/Business.
Try upgrading your server to a new tier based on the advice in the article above. If you read the article below:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn369873.aspx
You can see that standard is actually targeting at many of the production use cases of Web, where Basic is targeting developers who were using Web, before, to test out their applications. Basic isn't intended for scenarios with multiple concurrent users.
Hopefully that helped. If you have any other questions, feel free to reply.
Regards,
Chris

After upgrading to itunes 10.5, and connecting ipad 2, message appears " IPAD cannot be used it requires itunes 10.5 or later. Go to itunes store and download the latest version." I am windows xp user.

After upgrading to Itunes 10.5 and connecting the IPAD. I get a following message. How do I resolve this issue. There is no other way to download itunes to ipad other than the itunes on your computer or laptop. I am a windows xp user.

Dear Mr. Sawyer,
To my surprise, the version is shown as 10.0.1.22. I will uninstall itunes and try loading the same again. After uninstalling do we need to delete any registry entries for Windows XP.
Thanks for your response and concern.

Problems detected after updating to iTunes version 11.1.3.8

Problems detected after updating to iTunes version 11.1.3.8 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version, Service Pack 1.
USB connected iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4) is not recognised in iTunes.
Sluggish response when starting iTunes.
Any known remedy?

After updating to the newest version of iTunes which is 11.1.3.8, I can no longer edit song information because whenever I click Get Info, the program crashes. It says, "iTunes has stopped working...". I literally tried all the troubleshooting techniques here but to no avail!
I already:
Reinstalled iTunes and other related programs like a hundred times
Scanned my computer for viruses
Opened iTunes on another user account
Opened iTunes on safe mode
Removed unusable configuration files
BUT STILL, the problem persists. I have the same version of iTunes on my office computer and it works perfectly fine but I want my iTunes here at home to get fixed. Never had problems with editing song information until I updated it to 11.1.3.8.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I updated this program last January 1 and until now I haven't found any solution. It's really getting on my nerves!!!

Hey becky612,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod nano is not recognized in iTunes after updating. The following troubleshooting articles may provide a resolution based on your symptoms:
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
Thanks,
Matt M.

After upgrade to iTunes 11 "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration"

After upgrading to iTunes 11 I have lost all sound on my PC running Windows XP. When I try to open iTunes I get the following message: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." I have also lost sound when I attempt to listen to audio from a Website while in a browser session. I notice I have also lost the volume setting icon from the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen.
Please advise.

Something went wrong during the upgrade to iTunes 11. I have lost audio on my desktop PC running Windows XP. No sound in iTunes: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." No sound during browser sessions. The volume control icon disappeared from the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen.
It seems that an audio driver(s) were damaged or deleted. When I go into the Control Panel and check the reading for the audio hardware, the entry for the DVD/CD-ROM drive says:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
Please advise.
