Songs won't authorize after upgrade to itunes 9

So, I recently upgraded my os, and then got an iphone and upgraded itunes to 9. I go to play the the album I purchased on before the upgrade, and the computer gives me a message that the computer is not authorized to play it. I haven't put it on more than 5 computers, as this is the only computer or device I had it on. I didn't have an ipod for music playing prior to this, so I didn't download a lot. Now I do.
Anyway, so I went to authorize the computer, and it tells me it already is. Even deauth'd then reauth'd, still won't work.
Any insight? Thanks.

having the same problem.
Strange this is that all music was purchased by the same account name.
Some purchased songs play, two don't.
When I try resetting the password via the web it says that this apple id is unknown!
And that while I have the itunes confirmationemail when I created the account!!
I am disgusted that apple doesn't seem to react to this problem.
They try to dust it under the carpet.

ITunes store won't load after upgrading to iTunes 9

Ever since I upgraded my iTunes to the new iTunes 9, I can't get iTunes store to load. I've gone through the troubleshooting, and even ran a repair iTunes and then uninstalled and re-installed the iTunes. Nothing has worked. It only loads part way with just blue boxes with ? marks in them and names of songs/artists. Plain white background and none of the links that do show go anywhere. I get this message when I try to click on a link: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (306). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.

My daughter has iTunes 8.2.0.23 on her laptop and she could sign in with her own id and my id - so obviously there is a problem with version 9
I've uninstalled iTunes 9 and Apple Mobile Device Support thru Add/Remove programs
Installed iTunes 8.2.1.6
Removed library file made in version 9
Opened iTunes 8.2.1.6 and successfully signed into iTunes Store
Still cannot get onto iTunes via a Touch or 2 iPhones!!!
Added all my music back onto iTunes and it is working PERFECTLY
WON'T be upgrading to version 9
Hope this helps

Time Capsule won't mount after upgrade to iTunes 9

See my full post in the Time Capsule support section ("Help! Time Capsule won't mount after installing iTunes 9"). My music library is on my Time Capsule, but after installing iTunes 9, it won't mount on my iMac G5. I can use the internet, but the disk won't mount. My Powerbook hasn't been updated yet and the Time Capsule mounts fine.

To make it easier, here's the post:
"My music library is on my 500 Gb Time Capsule. I just installed iTunes 9 on my iMac. It updated my library and synced my iPhone. Now, the TC won't mount. I still have internet connectivity, but I can't access my media or print to my printer connected to the TC. I can use the computer and everything, but if I hover my mouse over the TC disks menu bar icon, I get the spinning beach ball there. If I try to connect using my Network icon in the sidebar, it allows me to log in and get to the screen to select the volume I want to mount, then stops responding. In the Activity Monitor, AFP Client & AirPort Base Station Agent are not responding. I also have a Powerbook G4 w/Leopard (10.5.8) which hasn't been updated to iTunes 9 yet. The Time Capsule mounted fine on it."

Games and purchases won't sync after upgrade to itunes 8.1.1.10

Hi,
I've just upgraded to itunes 8.1.1.10 (because itunes asked it when I started it up), but since then it has been behaving rather strangely.
First, itunes claims my computer is no longer autorised. However, when I try to re-autorise him, I just recieve a message saying it is already.
When I synced my ipod, all my purchased songs and games disappeared from it (I guess because itunes somehow still thinks the pc isn't autorised).
I tried to re-sync the games, but now he's started to optimalise my 8000 photos, but the games refuse to sync.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? tia

When you look at the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computer, the iPad is selected and iTunes is running, what does the storage for "other" read? How much of "other" data is there?
Have you tried ejecting the iPad, quitting iTunes, reboot the computer and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then try again?
You could also try updating iTunes. It looks like you are running an older version.

TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0

some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.

The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
Thanks!

Lost music files after upgrading to itunes 7

Hi, can someone please confirm whether or not my music files have been physically deleted from my computer after upgrading to itunes 7. Many of the songs in my playlist, including MOST of the songs purchased through itunes come up with the error that the original file can't be found. I've done searches and can't come up with the files.
I want to know if they are indeed gone.
I realize that you click "I agree" to the agreement before installing and as of now this "contract" has held up. However, we'll see how well it holds up when offered software is knowingly removing personal files. I'm sure that if someone were to write a virus that destroys your computer, if it had a warning message with an "I agree" button, it would be a very difficult contract to stand by.
To my recollection, no software in the past has physically removed personal files from your harddrive on install.
So, I don't think a precedence has been set for this kind of class action.

and we refresh.

Lost iTunes Library after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 HELP PLEASE

I have two issues on hand : after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I opened iTunes and all of my music was gone except for about 1,000+ songs (3.2 GB) when I originally had about 20GB worth of songs. How can I recover my full library into iTunes ?
Second issue: when importing new CDs into iTunes 7.7 it only plays a fraction of each song before moving on to another song, whereas iTunes shows that I have the full song imported.
I really appreciate someone's help here, and does the latest version of iTunes have a bug ??

Further to my last post, I find that the purchased songs have been retained in the iTunes Library of my Mac Book - is there any way iI can restore them to the iMac?

After upgrading to iTunes 9.2, unable to type in text/search fields

Hi,
After upgrading to iTunes 9.2, I am unable to type into text or search fields within iTunes.
Haven't tried all fields, but I've seen it in both search in iTunes and the iTunes store, and also trying to create folders on my iPhone (through iTunes only, it works fine on the phone).
Anyone else seen this or have an idea for a fix?
Thanks...

I'm wondering if you figured out this problem. I'm having the exact same issue, which means I can't even log in to my iTunes account. I've even tried uninstalling it and reverting to iTunes 9.1.1, which then won't even open.

After upgrading to itunes 7.3.1.3 I can't run the backup to dics anymore.

After upgradeing to itunes 7.3.1.3.1 I can not run the backup any more. Also the CD burning runs very slow.
The DVD burner run ok with other software.
After it checks for file to be backed up it kept ejecting the blank DVD and asking for a blank disc.
I have even replaced the DVD drive with drive from another computer.I also reinstalled ITUNES once-- It ran as a repair during the install.

I have used this same DVD Burner to backup my list from within iTunes before. I did this back in June just after I purchase 30 songs. I think I was running version 7.1 or 7.2 when the DVD backup worked. If not sopport then why does their diagnostics say DVD/CD Diagnostics. Even so I have the same problem on my other PC with a CD Burner. I think Apple support sound a little like Microsoft. I once had a problem with Windows NT and had to call MS support 5 times before they said their software had a defect and issued a patch.

Problems after upgrading to iTunes version 6

Hello,
I've been going through the threads a lot since I have had problems after upgrading to iTunes v. 6. It looks like a lot of people have had the same issues, and I have tried some things that were recommended. After I upgraded, iTunes would not open. I tried:
1. deleting sidb file
2. doing the msconfig thing suggested in discussion boards
3. going into safe mode and deleting 4 and 6 letter weird files in DOS - I found 3 that I deleted
iTunes worked after this -- then I bought a song and it said my computer was not authorized, after I authorized computer (that never happened before), iTunes worked for about 15 more minutes and then closed down abruptly. I haven't been able to open it since.
I also downloaded Spybot search & destroy and that did not find anything. I am using McAfee, and have scanned for viruses with McAfee and AdAware.
Now, when I restart my computer, a bunch of windows pop up with Chinese/Japanese looking characters and say that device (I think) was not found. I seem to be able to use everything except iTunes and Quicktime. When I open the Task Manager, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe and qttask.exe are there, but when I click on Quicktime or iTunes the file flashes in Task Manager and then disappears.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be apppreciated -- I'd like to be able to open iTunes!

Hello,
I used Nickroo's post:
I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.
This seems to have worked so far- I haven't started to go through ruling out what made iTunes not work; I also haven't tried to connect my iPod or burn a CD, so we'll see.

Help after upgrade to iTunes 7.5

After upgrading to iTunes 7.5, my library is gone ... replaced with a blank library. The library files are where they are supposed to be, just empty. I searched my complete hard drive for a previous version of my library, but found nothing. I had copied all my music to my hard drive, so I didn't lose any music, just all my organization, artwork, playlists, etc. With 3,000 songs on there, it would take forever to re-build all that.
On my iPod, everything's fine. My question is, is there any way to copy all the organization, name changes, artwork, playlists, etc. from my iPod back into the blank library on my laptop?
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Don't want to spend hours and hours putting all that stuff back together!!

Someone else may have a better fix, but see my posting under "Bush League Programming." Once I dumped 7.5 and reinstalled my previous version of iTunes, everything showed up just fine. Good luck.

Can't Recognized iPod device after upgrading to iTune 7 / 7.0.1

After upgrading to iTune 7 (and later 7.0.1), my iPod Video 60G (firmware 1.2) has been having problems getting recognized by my desktop.
Symptoms:
- Device manager in Windows 2000 reports the device as an Unknown USB Device
- The iPod won't get recharged nor sync'ed.
- The "Do not disconnect" screen won't appear on the iPod.
- Since Windows can't recognize my iPod at all, of course I won't be able to see it in iTune.
I plugged the iPod to my Dell laptop and got it recognized and recharged properly though.
After poking around for a long time, I figured that if I disable the USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller on my desktop (thru the Device Manager), I can finally get the iPod recognized properly. Problem is, now it takes forever for me to sync my iPod (USB 2.0 disabled, so I'm stuck with the slow USB 1.1)...
I noticed that after upgrading to iTune 7, the display backlight on the iPod is kept on (though dim). If I remember correctly, on older versions of iTune, the backlight is completely off. I'm suspecting whether the extra current draw required by the dim backlight is screwing up my desktop USB....
Anybody from Apple gonna look into the issue and consider turning the backlight back to off in the next release??
Windows 2000

I have no problems on my Dell laptop... I'm having problem with my 4-year old non-brand-name desktop only.
... which is kinda abnormally 'cause normally you would expect USB 2.0 power problems on laptops only. Btw, I've got the latest drivers installed already for the chipset and Win2K etc...
What's more interesting... is the fact that on older iPod firmware, everything was running just fine... upgrade to iTunes 7.0 and boom... I'm having problems. And, it's not recognized at the Windows USB device recognition level, so I think we can isolate the problem source to the iPod firmware upgrade.
Seriously... my bet is on the extra power drain from the backlight being left on during USB connection...
Guess i'll have to stick with slow USB until Apple has a new firmware...
This latest upgrade is generating a lot of unhappy customers...... and the sad thing is, Apple did a bad job in backward compatibility and made it extremely difficult to downgrade to an older version of iTune / firmware.... Apple better get these fixed asap...
