Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

  • Horrible issues with new iTunes update

    I am having a few issues with the new iTnes update:
    I cannot find a way to view the album artwork in the bottom left-hand corner like I used to. I can't find the option anywhere! I want to see it.
    Some song files have had their song titles, album titles, etc. changed from what I had them listed as. For example, my Footloose file, which used to say the song title was "Footloose" and the album as "Footloose", now shows the song title as "Footloose (from 'Footloose')" and the album title is blank. When I go to try to change it back, it is all greyed out and will not let me change it!
    Song files that I had put in more than one album artwork for, (if the song appeared on more than one album, including greatest hits albums and sountracks) the update now lists them as all individual songs from each one of the albums, so I have tons of repeats. I want it to go back to showing me all the album artwork for ONE file.
    This new update has completely destroyed my iTunes library. I am NOT HAPPY.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

  • Issue with new itunes version

    Dear All,
    i have a really big issue with the new itunes version. I loaded it today. Besides that every single view changed...
    So coming to my issues:
    1. my playlists changed to a status of Middle of 2011
    2. the songs which i loaded since that and are already on my hdd are only available in the icloud... means to listen to it or to put it to a playlist, means that i would have to load the songs again.... which in my case means 660 Songs.... downloading again on my hdd (means roundabout additional 9 GB of data) and last but not least paying for the 9 GB download...
    Is there any chance to link the songs in the playlist again on my hdd, i mean they are still there and i already loaded it down ?!?!?!?!?! In the past it was possible
    Hope somebody can help me... and please apple tune back.... itunes is not an easy to use interface anymore... and honestly after having 3 Ipods, 1 Pad and 2 iphones and von itv, i should think about changes... it is already the second time that Itunes completly destroys my playlists and costs me more money.....
    HELP!!!!!!
    Thax in advance

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • When will Apple sort out import issue with new itunes?

    As it says... when will I see "gracenote" syncing, album, track, and cover art etc. when importing?
    Message was edited by: KFF

    My question and concern is related to what you are saying. I am not sure about your exact concern though. I don't really know what gracenotes is.
    My own concern is that I simply cannot find itunes to be functional at all for importing or burning CDs.
    How can this be functional if you can only burn playlists? That decision in the new iTunes may be nice for Apple if they want to sell more media or make it more difficult to easily copy stuff. The problem is that anytime you import a CD, the tracks don't necessarily go into the library perfectly. You alway end up with Duplicates. Why on earth would they make the the one thing that people like to do: drop a CD in and copy it with perfect reproducibility more difficult? If you try this with a mixed CD, it will not only mess up your library temporarily and make you have to corral all of these files just to create a playlist and burn the stupid thing, but it wastes so much time. It can also makes a huge mess with duplicates in your library. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I will never use the most updated version of iTunes again unless there is something I am missing. If anyone knows an easier way to go about this please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • Issue with New iTunes

    Unfortunatly, I had to restore my computer. I downloaded the new iTunes after restoring, and now I cannot associate my iPod +Nike with my old account. The new iTunes does not allow it. It will only allow me to create a new account, I do not want to lose my old runs and such though!
    Does anyone know how I can associate my Nike+ account with the new iTunes????

    Ok. I figured it out after my 1st new run. Although iTunes does not let you associate with Nike+ after you install it... after your first new run when you plug in your ipod a dialog will pop up allowing you to associate your iTunes with your account...
    Apple Nota Bene: You should be able to associate it right away ... but it's not a techical "flaw" just a minor inconvienence.

  • Serious Issues with New MacBook

    I just recently got a new Macbook 1.83 GHz, and everything seemed to work fine for the first couple of days. No whining or mooing; heat was low overall; no dead pixels; quick performance. Then, everything went to hell.
    First, I noticed that the built-in iSight would give me the "green screen of death" every so often, requiring me to reboot to fix it. Then, entire batches of photos starting disapearing from Photo Booth (as if one were to click the "Delete all pictures" button, which wasn't the case). Finally, and the most dreadful, upon starting my MacBook up this morning, I found half the machine reverted to factory defaults (system preferences, pictures, documents, widgets, etc - all erased) while the other half still had some stuff left over (my music was still there....until I started up iTunes, which deleted them all). Each time I login, it seems like more information is lost. What could be the cause of this tragedy, and more importantly: what can I do to fix it?
    It's a shame, because I really love my MacBook, and I plan on taking it to Florida with me in a few weeks. So, I would hate to have to return it because of this issue. If there is any do-it-yourself solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    First off, you should always...ALWAYS be backing up your important stuff...whether that be music, photos, files...what have you. You would not have such an issue if you would do that. Once you have backups for your important stuff, when you suffer a problem, you can always do several utility stuff.
    Disk verify, Disk repair, repair permissions...etc. These procedures can sometimes clear out errant glitches in your system that kind of start a snowball effect to files.
    If those don't take care of things, then I would first try to reinstall the OS, and do a restore of your backed up data and files.
    Then you can try calling AppleCare and see if they can help you. In fact, I called Applecare today and they are sending me the shipping box and instructions to return my MB for its problems.
    These boards, of late, have been a haven for those who just want to complain without attempting to do anything to solve the problem themselves, so I think some folks that help others around here more than I do are getting to feel unappreciated for their efforts.
    So in the future you might want to just state with "just the facts" what has happened, what you have tried to remedy the problem, what tests you may have run...and then I think your message board responses might be a little more productive.
    Hope you manage to get a handle on your issues and I hope I get my MB back in a timely manner so I can get back to work.

  • IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

    Since the latest iTunes update,
    1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
    2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing.  I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
    "There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks.

  • My ipod 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Has anyone had issues with their itunes not coming up?

    Has anyone had issues with their itunes not coming up?  I keep getting error message 13014.  I just bought a new classic ipod and am not sure if this is the problem.

    Hi
    Your new iPod has certain operating system requirements. Does your iMac meet those requirements?
    http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
    3rd Column on the right hand side, about a 3rd of the way down. To find out which version of iTunes you have, launch it and select "About iTunes" from the iTunes menu.
    HTH?

  • Several problems with new itunes??!!

    Getting much of the same issues with new version of itunes. Printing up cd covers, the playlist gets all jumbled up for some reason. Also, the thing that really gets me livid is before you used to be able to randomize your playlist and the order would change. This was cool if you were going to burn a cd and just wanted a random order different than the order you put the songs in your playlist. Now it seems you have to move the songs around instead of itunes "shuffle" changing the order for you. The shuffle does work for playback but not when you want to burn your cd in a different random order like the old itunes used to. I also used to like the old itunes that would show the cd artwork bigger during playback. Now it doesn't seem to have that feature. "Recently Played" folder doesn't appear to work as well. Itunes Store appears to be much slower while searching for music and tends to freeze up a lot. Sampling songs in the store also seems to need to "rebuffer" way more than the old version. Most of the time, I don't mind the updates. It takes some time getting used to it but eventually it gets easier. This update, however, I am not very happy with. Especially not being able to shuffle my "playlist" order. That ***!!

    looks like this is a known issue for the album covers printing jumbled. several work arounds would be to try print in black and white theme. You can also try to save as a pdf and print from another application like word or paint or something

  • Serious issues with ios8

    Serious issues with iPad 2 since updating to ios8. Have to keep restarting the iPad as it is the only way to connect to wifi again, battery drains quickly. Nothing works properly, things keep freezing etc. is there anyway to go back to ios7?

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Skype issues with new Retina MBP

    Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
    The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
    All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
    thanks.

  • On-Going Issues with New Serviices - New Verizon Customer

    Good evening.  This is the 1st time that I've had to voive my frustrations and disappointment on a forum but I don't know what else to do. I have only had Verizon Fios for 6 weeks and I have yet to watch anything on TV since no imformation is being filtered to my TV; I keep receiving Set-Top box is off-line.  My Internet and phone services were spotty in the beginning but they are working great now.  I've had 3 different technicians visit my residence to re-install the boxes, router, cables, and I had all-new equipment again.  However, I'm still having issues in with the Program Guide and all Menu options are still unavailable. 
    However, nothing has worked and I've exhausted all possible resolutiions to no avail.  The last technician was at my residence for 7 hours last week and had to call Verizon's tech support,  It was determined that it was something on Verizon's end that they needed to fix.  It's been over a week, and I have yet to hear anything on my current open Help Ticket.  Has anyone had any serious issues with their services when they first signed for FIOS?  I'm at the point that I am seriously considering cancelling my services even though I already made 2 payments against my account.  Most of my friends, new neighbors and family members have FIOS and rave how great it is, and constantly talk about all the movies on On Demand.  Unfortunately, I can't relate because I can't access anything on my TV.  It's a pain in the **bleep** when you are trying to watch something but you have no idea what the hell you are watching because the Program Guide is unavailable, including the rest of the Menu options.  I really would hate to cancel all of my services but I'm at a loss at what to do anymore.  Has anyone experiences severe issues in which they had to cancel their services because Verizon was unable to solve the issues?  Thank you for your attention and time in this matter.

    Since we haven't heard back from you as requested in your private support case, it appears you do not need further assistance. It was our pleasure to help get this squared away.  Please make a new post anytime you need our assistance.
