Problems since last update of iTunes 6.0.5.20

I was having trouble with my 60 gb video ipod, so updated both ipod and iTunes to the latest version over the weekend. I had to go to get my ipod restored at the Apple store on Monday, and when I tried to re-load my songs on to the ipod (over 7500), it took over 18 hours and then was not successful. So I decided to manually import songs and playlists and got it back up to about 5000 songs (could have gone further, but was afraid to press my luck). I kept looking at task manager when it was synching, and noticed it was consistently at over 50% of CPU. I'm not sure if this was happening before the update.
This morning, everytime I try to access the Music store, it hangs up itunes. I can get there successfully from the new 'mini-store' that's part of the latest version, but when I hit the 'home' icon, it hangs again.
Anyone else having similar problems, so I can figure out if it's my computer or the latest version, or some problem this morning with the Music Store?

I think I have the answer.
I was experiencing the exact same problem. I tried lots of different things but what I think works is to exclude your iTunes folder from Spotlight. Open the System Preference for Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, and then drag your iTunes folder (in your user/Music folder) into that window pane. In fact, I think it is faster when I am fixing tags!
Let me know if it works for you too.

  • Since last update on itunes, my PC doesn't detect any of my devices. HELP!

    Since I downloaded the last version of iTunes my PC doesn't detect any of my devices (ipad, ipod, iphone). Have been connecting my devices to the PC, when opening iTunes there is a legend, with the ipod saying that itunes doesnt detect the device to uninstall itunes and reinstall, have done it twice and the problem is still there. Just bought a new ipad and when I connect it to the PC iTunes doesnt detect it. When connecting my iPhone same thing happens, when I try to export the photos to the PC the folder where the photos are suppossed to be has no photos

    Hello andreaparra,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I found the following article that will help you in resolving this issue, where none of your devices are being recognized by iTunes.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you get to the part where it asks you to uninstall iTunes, even though you have done it before, be sure to uninstall iTunes and the other components in the order listed.
    Take care,

  • Problems since last update... default browser, scanning probs with Laserjet

    This may be general, but I don't have a lot to go on. Also, two issues may or may not be related.
    1) Since the last update, which included a firmware update, when I reboot my Mac my net apps (Adium, Firefox, etc) always get taken out of default, and I have to make them default again when I first load them. This is annoying... anyone know how to make this stop?
    2) Not sure when this started to happen, so it may have been associated with the update, but my HP Laserjet 3055 will no longer scan documents. Printing, fax, etc., all work. Just can't scan anymore. In fact, in HP Director I can't even get the "Fax" button to activate (it's grayed out now).
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi, with regards to #2, I had the same problem after the latest update and the following cured it.
    Use the HP uninstaller and delete all HP files, empty trash and restart. Then download and install all needed HP software/files and install. Restart and all should be ok.
    Good luck with #1

  • My iPhone's iMovie, the clip sequence/audio/timing all off, a serious problem since last update

    clip sequence and timing won't save at the desired position, having to go through the movie again and again re-timing it, just wont remain in place to produce desired imovie, worthless if nothing will set as you wish. An error after last update.

    Hi there,
    I would suggest you do a reload of the software after a full backup, I would suggest you load using desktop manager and see if it gets back to normal. Also check if the settings have not changed especially for location/GPS services which can be demanding on power.

  • Home sharing photo problems since last update

  • Preview & Ipoto problems since last update

    Last night, I was offered and installed the following updates;
    2010-04-04 22:26:01 +0100: Installed "AirPort Base Station Update 2010-001" (5.5.1)
    2010-04-04 22:27:25 +0100: Installed "Security Update 2010-002" (1.0)
    2010-04-04 22:28:20 +0100: Installed "iTunes" (9.1)
    There was also a 4th "QuickTime" update, but during the installation process it complained that the package could not be verified, and failed to install. After that, anything which uses quicktime would immediately fail due to missing libraries. So this morning I did a "check for updates" and redownloaded it and it installed OK;
    2010-04-05 06:40:01 +0100: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6.6)
    However, now I get the issue that Preview won't open when working on Photo files (Nikon .NEF), and Iphoto has just told me that it can't import 5 out of 10 Jpegs (but could when dragged in individually) and when I tried to import 93 .NEFs, it did it Ok, but complained that it couldn't import 186 files (who knows what these were...)
    Is it just me or is this update flawed? Any suggestions on returning to normality?

    For which phone model?
    Make sure that the ringtones are stored in the internal memory space in the ringtones folder there.

  • Since last update to iTunes

    Before resetting my Apple TV last week the screen saver would display photos from my iPhoto library's on the tv when playing music or even while listing to any audio on the Apple TV. Now all I'm able to get are the generic ones and album covers from my main system iMac. I've tried every thing I can think of. I remember there was a place in the menu items ether in iTunes or iPhoto that allowed me to pick what folders in iPhoto that I wanted to stream to my Apple TV now I can't seem to find the same place. When I go to computers it tells me to go to computer iTunes and use advance menu to change things. What is the advance menu and how do you get to it? I have lots of pics in my I photo that I like streaming to my main monitor through Apple TV while plaing music. Another thing that has happen in some of my iPhoto library's the photos are blacked out with just an outline, if I cursor over them them show up very brfley but then resort to being blacked out. What is going on? Is there a limit on how photos you can place in a library? Any help on this would be appreciated. My Apple TV is 2nd gen. My main system is a 2009 iMac. I have always updated any software updates that appl has sent out but don't like it to change everything up like it has.

    See this article for some tips about troubleshooting AirPlay:
    Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
    Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express. Try the following suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your Apple TV and iPhone/iPad.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.

  • HT1338 Since my last update to Itunes the application refuses to close

    Since my last update to Itunes the application refuses to close and slowly locks my laptop until I reboot.  When I reboot it reloads all of my email deleted all day and sometimes the day prior.  I have run disk utilities repair disk permissions.  This works for a short and the whole thing starts all over again.  Does any on have any hints?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

    Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
    Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.

    Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
