Problems with iTunes Sync Since Mavericks Install

MacBook Air, 2011, 4GB, 1.7 GHz, 256GB Drive
Early this week I installed Mavericks (no problem). System Update also updated iTunes and iOS 7 on my various mobile devices.
Now, every other time (more or less) I connect my iphone or ipad for syncs, i get the following symptoms:
- Fans start to run at high speed, with SMC temperature indicator shooting to 200
- Activity Monitor confirms that the energy hog is iTunes
- Battery runs down quickly and visibly
- iTines then syncs everything, i.e. re-dowloads to my mobile devices all the music and >3000 pictures.
Went to the Apple story and, in the typical Apple answer, they said we haven't heard of the problem. Of course, I could not replicate it in fron of them.
Is this a known problem? Any hints?

Go to Add/Remove Software or Manage Applications (Whatever they changed it to in Vista/7/8) Find and remove iTunes and iTunes Mobile Device support. Better yet follow this:
XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Vista/7/8: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923

Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

Time Machine backup problems with firewire 800 since Mavericks

Since I installed Mavericks about a week ago, I have had problems with TM not working with my LaCie external drive. At best, it would not back up when the mac was awakened from sleep mode and in use. When I would open time machine preferences, I would see the "preparing for back up" prompt that would last forever. Not only was it doing that, I have found that it would freeze my mac. I figured this out when I was not able to get my mac to respond from the login screen. It was basically frozen and couldn't log on. I noticed the back up drive light flickering but nothing would happen even with waiting a long time. I finally figured out that shutting off the TM EHD would unfreeze the mac and it would start functioning normal again. This was happening with my external HD daisy chained to another external drive that contains my iPhoto, iMovie and Itunes files. That drive was also connected to the mac using firewire 800. I tried many different configurations, switched the order the drives were daisy chained, tried different cables and even directly connected the TM drive with firewire 800 to the mac, but the problems still persisted. The strange thing is that when I connect the TM drive through USB, it works flawlesly and no hanging up of the computer. Thats what Ive been forced to do. I have my other EHD connected directly through firewire 800 and it works fine. I only have one firewire 800 port, and since it works fine with my other LaCie drive, it makes me think its not the port or macs hardware? I can only guess this is a Time Machine issue or something wrong with my TM drive? I have been in contact with LaCie and given them all these details but I have not heard back yet on what they feel the problem is. I thought I would post this to see if anyone else had some experience with this problem.

Forgot to mention I did that. Completely erased and reformatted HD and then reconnected to TM. Didn't help. I did have the mac hang up while installing Mavericks and had to eventually shut off the external drive. It did that to me the firs time I tried to install Mavericks and I lost all my data because it did a clean install after that. I had another back up on CCC so I just restored from there. This time the update to Mavericks transferred my data. I have had TM hang up my mac in the past on occasion, but I was always able to shut down the drive and then the mac would return to normal. Perhaps I should try to erase and reformat again?

Problems with iTunes Match since 5.1 iPhone update?

Since the most recent iPhone update I've had nothing but problems with my iPhone 4's music player, which I presume are being caused by iTunes Match. The service really was not ready for primetime and has been mostly a headache, but the 5.1 update made it exponentially worse.
I've had the following problems: iTunes on iPhone 4 frequently will not play the songs I select. The track remains at 0:00 and I often have to force quit iTunes to play anything else. The phone frequently skips songs at random and goes on to the next track or another track. Selected songs play as other songs off an album or playlist and do not match up with their cover art. The phone rarely plays more than two songs in a row without encountering some problem.
I've tried restoring the phone, turning iTunes match off and on, and completely disabiling it. When I did that, the phone wouldn't play ANYTHING!
Do you guys have any solutions? I've tried to go to genius bar but there's always a huge line even with appointments and I doubt they'll be helpful.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problems. Most songs not playing, some skipping to the next song, song indexing out of order. Match is becoming a miserable experience..

Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

Hello all,
I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
I tried doing the following:
Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.

Problem with Itunes and NAS after installing latest version of Itunes

After installing the latest version of Itunes on my new PC (Windows 7 Ultimate) I have problems seeing the music off the Itunes server on my NAS.
I see the name of the NAS under tab SHARED (GEDEELD in dutch), but when I click on it, Itunes is making connection with the NAS but I see the music for less then a second.
Then the display goes back to the tab LIBRARY.
I've searched the web for this problem, checked on my firewall,... nothing to find. On another windows 7 PC, it is still working fine but this is an older version of Itunes.
So what can be the problem ?

No, I had not uninstalled it, I didn't realize I had ever installed it. I don't use it at all, never have. I uninstalled the MobileMe Control Panel then restarted my computer for good measure, and that appears to have resolved the issue! Thanks very much for your help!

IOS 5 allows you to remove songs/ albums using the device itself, simply hold you finger down on an album and tap the cross.

Problems with Icons flashing after Maverick Install

Just installed Mavericks--now my icons flash randomly and repeatedly as if the desktop keeps reloading. Imessage (AIM) crashed today as well. Anyone else having this issue or could suggest a fix? I have applecare and I will call them if needed but if it's something simple like deleting a plist, I would rather avoid a prolonged phone call. I did run disk utlity and fixed the permissions, don't see anything unusual running on the activity monitor (though I'm not so familiar with what should be). Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you have Google Drive installed? Other users have reported the same behavior and found that uninstalling Google Drive resolves it. Presumably they are working on a fix.
Other users have found that disabling App Nap for Google Drive resolves it. Do this by selecting the Google Drive application in a Finder window, and Get Info for it (File menu > Get Info.) Next under General make sure the Prevent App Nap checkbox is checked.
Best of luck.

Problems with iTunes after Win7 Re-install

I had to re-install windows 7 and now I can't get my music into iTunes. I know where the media is but everything I try doesn't get in imported. I'm afraid to hook up my iPhone and iPad until I get iTunes running right again. I've tried changing the location and consolidating and a number of other things.
Can someone help?

Cannot slide back and forth to pages with mouse since Maverick install, anyone else??

Cannot slide back and forth (page to page) with the mouse since Mavericks install. Anyone else??

Hi,
Please do not type in all caps,its considered shouting and we can hear you just fine.
I believe you are asking a question regarding Pages, I would recommend re-posting in the Pages forum. This forum is a general iMac forum, while someone may know I believe the Pages forum is a better bet.
Good luck.

Problems with iTunes Airplay after pausing the playback

I'm able to stream music to my Yamaha receiver once, but when I pause the playback and resume to it after a short while, iTunes always freezes and it is shown as inactive in the Task Manager...

Any Solutions?

Outlook sync problems with iTunes 7.6

After I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 and iPhone 1.1.3, I couldn't sync Outlook (2007)contacts or cals with my iPhone. I reset, uninstalled iTunes/reinstalled, etc, but nothing worked. Then I uninstalled iTunes 7.6 and reinstalled iTunes 7.5.02 (a copy that I found on the web) and everything works well now.
It looks like 7.6 has problems with Outlook syncing. Do not upgrade if this is important to you.

To download iTunes 7.5, go to:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/07/direct-download-itunes-75-to-activate-i phone-anywhere-internationally/
You first need to uninstall 7.6 as well as the Apple Mobile Device support program. Then empty your trash and reboot. Install 7.5. When you try to start 7.5 the first time, it will give you an error related to the library file. Search for that file and trash it (I didn't empty the trash at that point to be safe). Try to start 7.5 at that point and it should work fine. It did for me.
