Problems with iTunes since 10.5 upgrade

Since I upgraded my computer to 10.5 iTunes, many songs will not play correctly. They sound like a high pitched screeching noise. I am afraid to connect my iPod until I fix this, but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks

I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

Problem with iTunes since upgrade. Won't sync properly. Please Help!

Ever since I have updated iTunes to 7.1, when I try to add songs onto my iPod, I get a message reading: The iPod "Sheri's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
My sister just bought the 8gig and out of 1600 songs, it accepted 2 songs. Please help!

Excuse the length of this but I felt detail was essential to hunting this down.
I must add my voice to this thread - seems one of several hundred that remains unanswered and I am fed up with dealing with this. If anyone has a thought I would welcome it. The search engine has no useful results to offer that I have been able to find.
Have a 20GB 4th Gen. iPod. Approximately 4100 songs - 18.2 GB in Library. Consistently after restoring with latest download as of this writing Apr.2 2007 experiencing again what I have been struggling with for weeks with this; As of today after a complete low level formatting of the hard drive - fresh reinstallation of Windows XP and all apps from scratch! 14 hrs of work dear apple folk, Having run a Complete virus check with Kaspersky IS 6.0 (trial), eTrust IS (Trial), and Norton IS 2007, Spy sweeper, Hitman Pro 2, Root kit revealer and a few others I am relatively convinced that there are no mal-spy wares on the system or iPod.
My iTunes library is on another physical drive. I have had no issues syncing from this drive when this did work.
Tried to reinstall the original iPod/iTunes software as per the disk shipped with the iPod # 2Z691-5715-A it failed at 99% to load due to an MSI error. - This confounded me.
Tried sync again using the most recent version of iTunes/QT and as previously posted by others without reply and experienced many times, repeat-many times over, have had the sync stall at no consistent point though roughly anywhere from 700 -1700 songs reportedly having been transferred only to stall. The iPod transfers only play lists no songs are transferred or listed though upon reboot and reattachment it shows data other than audio present but is obviously corrupted and the chkdsk message appears. Chkdsk finds no physical errors and I'm back to the restore loop. The iPod is restorable under Windows most of the time. Sometimes it is unable to do so. I have the luxury of a MacG4 Powerbook but my HD can't store those songs as it is for work use only but iTunes reformats it as a windows iPod or sometimes I have gone to restore it to Mac and then re-restore it to Windows format again on the PC. This I think eliminates the possibility that it is an issue with the USB connector or fire wire cables. I should be clear all sync is done via USB on the PC.
I have tried this on both the separate USB card installed on the system as well as through the USB ports available on the motherboard. Problem remains consistent.
I have experienced occasionally but for the most part infrequently, a report from my Konica/Minolta 2400W Colour Laser printer monitor - connected by USB on the Motherboard USB port, a sudden loss of communication with the printer preceding the iTunes sync stall. I have yet to try with the printer turned off and the monitor software removed but will report results in a further post - though this has never been a problem in the past.
Stall means that iTunes shows the sync in progress but no advancement from the song it is stuck on for hours. Task manager reports that the CPU is engaged at nearly fully utilization varying from 88 -99% of available resources. From iTunes an attempt to eject the iPod stalls with the eject button in pushed down state and hangs - the only way to proceed is to physically disconnect the iPod and close iTunes from the task manager. I have tried reducing the priority level of iTunes and the iPodhelper to see if I could buy time to eject the iPod without corruption but to no avail. Consistently, iPodhelper service and itunes.exe remains open even though the window closes. Of note those services remain running despite efforts to shut them down through task manager. This lead me initially to believe that the software was hijacked by a virus root kit or other malware but I have been unable to find any evidence to support that notion.
Further - i tried after restoring the iPod for the umpteenth time to try another software Media monkey. It too experienced the same bloody problem stalling out through the sync at 300 songs or so and same result with task manager unable to close process despite window being closed.
My conclusions:
Problem exists with iTunes software or some yet undeterminable windows process;
a) USB communications seems fine as am able to restore iPod through connector. Windows XP Pro detects iPod as a drive in explorer.
b) Song Database is fine and iTunes will play everything on hard drive(s) and in library.
c) iPod is okay - able to sync and list a few sample songs off MAcG4 Powerbook when formatted Mac or PC.
d) The R's all work - iPod reports no diagnostic issues
e) No viral, spy ware, root kit or malware detected after comprehensive scanning.
So what next???? I am completely at a loss... and missing my music..

Problems with itunes since updat to 11.1.4

ever since Itunes upgraded to 11.1.4 I have not been able to use it . it keeps telling me that MediaAccessary.DLL is missing i've tried everything. oi've removes all itunes and apple files about 30 times in the last 2 weeks

Hello dmartins1977,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalledIn most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. To fully resolve these issues, manually remove any remaining iTunes-related folders listed below.On 32-bit and 64-bit systems:On 64-bit systems:
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Download the iTunes installer. When prompted to select what you want to do, choose to save it to your computer.
5. Install iTunes.
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Select the 'Run as administrator' option.
Windows XP: Select the Open option.
Finish installing iTunes.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

Problems with iMac since Mountain Lion upgrade

So , several problems that I have experienced since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
1. When I "log off" off my iMac from the top left "apple" symbol, I get the rainbow wheel of death.
2. When accessing YouTube home screen or yahoo in Safari, the page is a white screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
* I have been reading some people saying that this happens to them too, but only when using an account with parental controls.
3. Hard drive "grinds" incessantly.
* I have never even seen the rainbow wheel or heard my hard drive grind on my iMac untill this upgrade.
Anybody know of any solutions, or also having these issues?

For anyone else having the "white screen" issue with youtube, and/or yahoo issue. I seemed to have repaired the issue. I turned the parental controls off for both of my kids accounts, restarted my Mac, and the problem vanished.
I also turned the parental controls back on after this, restarted the computer, and the problem came back.
*** This is 100% a Parental Control/Mountain Lion glitch. Hopefully Apple knows and is working on a solution. The sooner they fix it, the sooner I can turn the parental controls back onto my kids accounts.

Printing problems with iTunes 10.2.1 upgrade

After updating to iTunes 10.2.1 on Windows XP, when I try to print CD inserts of my “Playlist Folder” in “White Mosaic” format, the songs are listed correctly but the cover prints totally in a black square while before it printed with the pictures, covers or other images that I had added to each song. Any help? Thanks.

Greetings, and this is in reference to what was previously stated by Rexlibris.
rexlibris wrote:
I have the same problem. The artwork comes out as a black square when printing CD inserts and as white squares when printing album lists. My default printer is Adobe Acrobat PDF printer. When I downloaded a free PDF creator (Bullzip), it worked. The glitch seems to be previously loaded printers as opposed to ones loaded after the iTunes update. Even if, as some have done, uninstalled a printer and re-installed it. This sounds like a registry problem. Even if a device, driver or software is uninstalled, the registry will maintain a thread to it in case it is ever re-installed.
To remove these threads and to test (I'm not experienceing this issue so I can't test it myself) you can try:
Uninstall the printer from the computer
Disconnect printer (to prevent reinstall)
Reboot computer (to finalize uninstall)
Start > Run (start search if using windows vista/ or windows 7) > regedit
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN SERIOUSLY HURT YOUR COMPUTER HERE AND MAY REQUIRE REINSTALLTION OF WINDOWS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Print
Printers
<Your printer name here> -> Mine says "HP Deskjet F4400 Series"What you want to do is click File > Export > save it as "printer backup" (make sure it's set to save selected string at the bottom)
Righclick the Printer file and Click Delete
Restart computer
Reinstall printer on computer
Test again > if issue persists then this is probably linked to iTunes specifically.
Please let me know if this works.

OK ... It seems by exiting LR and re-launching it, the problem goes away. I blame Apple for this one, clearly.

You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it. It ought not to be related to any Apple security update.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

Problems with Safari since upgrading to Snow Leopard!!! Help!!!

I updated my OS to Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a significant change in the way my Safari runs. I NEVER had problems with it prior to the upgrade. Lots of times it is unbearably slow in trying to open the page and more often than not it says "Safari Cannot Open The Page". This leads me to close Safari, wait a couple of seconds, and open it back up again, then repeat if it happens again! All of my other programs seem to be running fine, it's just Safari... and I did reset Safari and empty the cache. I would hate to have to lug my 24" iMac through the mall to the Apple store. ANY ADVICE?!?!?!?!?! Much appreciated...

HI,
Try Safari maintenance...
Do this one more time anyway...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, run in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Now restart your Mac.
If nothing has helped, then post a crash log and we can get a better idea of what's happening...
How to locate a crash log:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

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.

Seemingly Impossible Problems with iTunes

I've never had any problems with iTunes until a few months ago, and I've been unable to use the program since. It all started when I upgraded to iTunes 10, and my computer randomly started to freeze every time I tried to open the program. I thought that I would try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, but it definitely hasn't worked out the way I'd planned.
The iTunes 10 installations would cause my computer to freeze, so I thought I would try to go back to iTunes 9, which I had no problems with previously. I followed the uninstall instructions on the Apple Support website, started to install iTunes 9, and my computer freezes every time when "registering iTunes automation server". I can't even get the Task Manager to come up when this happens, so I'm forced to turn my computer off and start over. I tried this again, still no luck. I uninstalled everything, turned off my spyware programs, deleted my temp files... everything. I even deleted the program files today, and I still haven't had any luck.
I have a small fortune invested in iTunes, and I'd really like to get it back up and running before Christmas. I have some new CDs I'd love to put on my iPod, and one of my favorite bands is releasing a limited edition digital box set that you can only get on iTunes that I'd really like to have. I've read that Apple doesn't even know how to fix this problem, and I don't really want to spend $29 for a pointless phone call.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!

No such luck
I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple programs on my computer, but the installation still freezes at the same spot.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
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 youshouldn'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!

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.
