Problems with iTunes 7.2 (Quicktime 7.1.6?)

Please excuse the fact that I have already posted this once, but due to a slightly negative comment at the end all I have recieved is comments about my final statement which did not help.
My first post was not as specific either so let's try this again. Here is the chain of events.
First, I installed 7.1.6. Then I installed 7.2 (which it seems is becoming a problem for a lot of people). Right out of the gates I was getting a shared library issue. Most applications that were looking for CarbonLib Sound were not even opening. My next step was to fix permissions. This fixed the application problems, thus I was confident that things would work. Nope! Currently there are three major problems:
1. Quicktime app will load, but it will not load up any movie files
2. iTunes does not have scroll bars and it will not show images of any kind (including icons). It will play music (I backed-up my music and re-added a couple songs to my library to see what would happen). I have not reloaded my entire library until I know things have been fixed.
3. iMovie HD (version 5) does not work (may be attached to Quicktime issues, if they exist)
Here is what I am looking for. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing on a Mac. All of the posts (and replies) seem to be on the XP side of things. I have gone so far as to reinstall a really old version of iTunes and updating to 7.2 to no avail (again fixing permissions). I did kind of gamble on the re-install of iTunes because I am not completely sure how to convince my Mac that I have removed iTunes 7.2, thus I just kind of started trashing pref files related to iTunes until it would allow me to install a pre 7.0 version of iTunes. Is it possible to remove/reinstall 7.2? Am I better off going back to 7.1.1 (which I still have the installer for). At this point I am afraid to attach my iPod to the machine for fear of what it might do to my iPod. I also am considering doing a complete system reinstall and rebuilding, but have hesitated so far due to the amount of time it would take to reinstall/rebuild back to my current state.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be as specific as possible so someone could give me a clearer repsonse (from a Mac user, not XP).
Oh yeah. Can anyone tell me how to remove my old post. For the life of me I can't figure that out.

Tips:
Hold down the Option+Apple Key when plugging in your iPod and it will not update.
The file that needs to be removed when reinstalling older versions of iTunes is HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg. Move the itunesX.pkg to the trash.
If you reinstall the system then once that is completed apply the COMBO updater for your type of Mac (PPC or Intel)and apply that any most of your system should be up todate. You will likely have to update your QT too.
Don't worry about your old post - it will get archived eventually.

  • More problems with iTunes 9.1.0.79

    Hi,
    since I have had my iPhone I have upgraded itunes a couple of times and never had any problems until now.
    I upgraded to 9.1.0.79 two days ago and am having all sorts of issues.
    Now when itunes starts it takes ages.
    When my iphone is connected I get a message saying:-
    +itunes cannot sync information with the iphone 'iphone' because syncing has been disabled on this computer+
    I click the yes button to enable syncing and then receive an error message:-
    +itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services reconnect or try again later+
    I then click OK and my phone appears in the devices list.
    These error messages happen every time I start itunes, so by me clicking the yes button to enable syncing does absolutely nothing.
    My iphone will sync fine just that itunes tends to freeze up and is very slow.
    I run a diagnostic from the help menu and without my iphone connected it shows a red dot next to 'No iPhone or iPod found', which is correct but when I have my iphone connected this red dot is now orange, what is the difference in colour?
    I have turned of all anti-virus and firewall software but itunes is still the same, very unresponsive, so anti-virus/firewall is not the problem.
    I followed to the letter:-
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and totally uninstalled everything and then reinstalled itunes only to find the same problem persisting.
    This is definitely a problem with itune 9.1.0.79 and apple should be addressing it pronto.
    Here is the data from the diagnostic run and it shows my iphone as not found even though it is connected, showing in devices and I can sync to it, wierd!!

    notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
    mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
    my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
    MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
    my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
    everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
    but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
    i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

  • I've never had any problems with iTunes,

    I've never had any problems with iTunes, and one day, without doing anything to it, I tried to open it and it said "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled it countless times and it still keeps giving me that message. I don't know what to do.

    Hey grossa2,
    First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:

  • Weird intermittent problems with itunes

    I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
    So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
    I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
    Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

    I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

  • Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info

    Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info !
    I synced my iPhone 5s (running v 7.1.1) to my late 2010 MacBook Pro 13" (OSX 10.9.4) using iTunes (can't remember exactly which version of iTunes, but whatever was the latest around the end of May 2014).
    Subsequently, I upgraded my iPhone 5s to v 7.1.2 and also upgraded iTunes to 11.3.1 (2), then synced my 5s to my MacBook Pro.
    Following this, on both my iPhone and on my Mac (I don't use iCloud), many of my Contact details had reverted to a much older version, and most of the information under the "notes" field in each contact was missing.
    Is there a way to revert to the prior version of iTunes (7.1.1) or otherwise restore this missing information?  There is critical information in my Contacts that has now ceased to exist!

    Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. Before doing the step back to 6.5.2, try a complete QT reinstall.
    This is how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    FWIW, FCP4.5 can run without issue under 10.4.x and QT7, but it is VERY stable under 10.3.9 and QT6.5.2.
    Good luck.

  • Serious problems with iTunes

    Hello,
    I updated my iTunes yesterday and my music library disappeared completely. I tried to use the back up of the library made previously and it didnt work. I then added my whole music folder to iTunes successfully except that there was around 30 of each playlist (90s music etc). This caused iTunes to run very slowly and as they wouldnt delete i had to go through and delete my library very slowly as to not make iTunes crash. I then sucessfully uninstalled iTunes and got rid of all the library back ups which may have been the cause of the mutliple playlist.
    On re instalatiuon of iTunes the multiple playlists had gone and the scroll bars had gone black. I added my My Music folder and to my horror the music didnt play anymore. I have been through all the help sections for this problem and nothing seems to work. iTunes at the moment is very unstable and crashes very often. Could this be a quicktime problem? I would very much appreciate some help.
    Thankyou!
    C Vallender

  • Subwoofer Problems with iTunes

    I'm having problems with itunes working with my new speakers. The speakers are Logitech Z-2300's. The subwoofer hums loudly everytime the bass comes on in a song (and hence the sub doesn't actually produce any of the song). At first I was worried it was because the subwoofer is damaged but after testing it with my laptop (which was also using itunes) and it working ok I realised the speakers are fine. So I then wondered if it was my desktop unit which was malfunctioning but when i tried to play the exact same song using Windows Media Player on the computer with the speakers there was no problem at all. I have removed itunes and re-installed it but the same problem is occurring. I am using itunes version 7.5.0.20, my computer is running SP2 of Windows XP Pro. Can anyone please help?

    I don't know anything about sub woofers, but this sounds like it is worth looking at your Quicktime preferences.
    Quicktime>>Prefernces>>Quicktime Prerferences>>Audio tab>>Select Audio Playback and recording devices>>Advanced.
    There you will find some speaker options that may help.

  • Problems with iTunes Launching

    I am having problems with iTunes launching on my G4 Mac Mini. Everytime I tried to launch it the application just carries on bouncing up and down on the dock, but never launches. I dumped the preferences folder then tried to relaunch it but that didnt solve anything. Then I tried uninstalling the whole application. I searched for any files associated with iTunes and trashed them. Then reinstalled iTunes 7 (previously had iTunes 6 on), thinking this would solve the problem but it didnt. Has anyone got any suggestions for me? My only other option is to reformat the whole machine just to get iTunes working again. Obvioulsy I didnt right away wanna go this route. I'm sure there is something I am just missing
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

    There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

  • Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
    Computer Specs
    Windows XP SP3
    384MB of Ram (works really good)
    USB 1.1 connection
    Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
    IPOD Shuffle Specs
    2nd Generation
    1GB (964MB)
    Version 1.0.4
    unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

  • Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

    After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
    A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
    How can I restore everything back to normal?
    Matt

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
    No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
    Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s
    Latest itunes 11.1.5.5
    Running Windows 7 (good comp)
