Someone help me with severe iTunes problems?

I am running the latest version of iTunes on my computer running Windows 7. Since November 2010, I have been unable to purchase anything, I have been unable to update my iPod touch 3rd generation, and I have been unable to sync, etc etc. The second I open up iTunes, I get a "duplicate file name specified" pop-up. This same pop-up happens when I plug in my iPod. And it happens again when I try to buy anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, I have tried installing previous versions, EVERYTHING. I have also contacted Apple Support via email multiple times. Finally, around my FIFTH time contacting them, they said I could restore my iPod to factory settings and start all over, and they would make every purchase I have ever had available for download again. Sure, they were made available for download again, but what error did I get when I tried to download them? Duplicate file name specified. So I never restored to factory settings. I've been relying on an outdated iTunes store on my iPod itself to buy anything. Please, I know I wrote a lot but if ANYONE has any help they could give me, I'd really like to be able to have a functioning iTunes and iPod touch again!

I am also having this same problem on Windows7 Ultimate. I have completely removed my Music Library to make sure that was not the problem. I have uninstalled all Apple applications from my computer. I have re-installed my original version of iTunes (10.5.2.11) and finally I unistalled that and reinstalled the latest iTunes (10.5.3) and I still receive the "A duplicate file name has been specified".  It does not stop me from playing my library. But, as Aidan said it does stop me from purchasing from iTunes Store.
Has anyone found a fix for this?

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

  • Someone help me with my itunes

    i have an issue with my itunes it stops syncing after step 2 i have tried re installing and deleting itunes and i have also turned off my iphone and tried it again i have tried  deleting the syncing history and still nothing can someone please help me i have been trying to fix it for the past week

    1) Install iTUnes
    2) Hold Shift and ctrl keys. While holding connect the ipod and do not let go til the ipod is listed in itunes. this stops an auto update.
    3) Set the ipod to "Manually Manage songs" and hit "Apply"
    4) Now you can use podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php to copy from the ipod. Hit "Copy Settings" and check both copy tracks to itunes and rebuild playlist.

  • Can someone help me with an Itunes & Firefox problem? (Stuttering issue)

    Hi,
    Yesterday I updated iTunes to the latest version.  Since then, whenever I listen to music in iTunes and browse the net, the track playing stutters/skips when a webpage loads or if I open a new tab. 
    I have tried various "solutions" already like updating my soundcard driver and setting the iTunes priority in task manager, but that didn't work at all. 
    I have searched the internet and have noticed that this is an old problem, yet no one seems to have an answer.  Does anybody here have an update on this problem and a probable solution for me. 
    Many thanks. 

    .local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
    Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
    if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
         echo I am remote
    else
         echo I am local
    fi
    A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
    In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though.

  • Can someone help me with a RAM problem?

    See system specs below...
    I just bought some Geil memory from Fry's Electronics that they assured me was better than Corsair and I would have no problems using it with my MB. Obviously I should stop listening to the people at Fry's. When the settings are all set to auto, my system will reboot every time windows starts. The only way I could stop this was by changing the cas from 2.0 to 2.5. Is this a problem with the MB, Bios or the RAM? I was thinking about taking it back and getting some Corsair Twinx1024-3200LLPT. Is it gonna be any better than this Geil stuff, or are there problems with it too. I have the latest bios. I thank you for any legitimate help.
    Mike

    DRAM CAS# Latency is set to 2 Clocks
    DRAM RAS# Precharge is set to 3 Clocks
    DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay is set to 3 Clocks
    DRAM Precharge Delay is set to 6 Clocks
    Try setting your RAS# to CAS# delay to 4 clocks.  See if that works.

  • Can someone help me with my Library problem

    I had to restore my user library and it named it Library(Original). How can I change this back to just "Library". It will not allow me to rename.

    Not sure why you did that, but did you restore the Lion or Snow Leopard ~/Library?
    I think you should delete the Library you restored from TM.
    First unhide Library.  Open Terminal and enter "chflags nohidden ~/Library"
    Then figure out which is the Library you restored from TM and delete it.
    and then Re-Boot
