Sound check & problems with iTunes startup

I recently changed my iTunes settings to allow "sound check," which normalizes the volume of the entire iTunes library. Nothing happened at first, but the next time I opened iTunes, the little now playing window said "determining track volume: 1 of 222," and iTunes and my computer froze immediately. This has happened every single time I've tried to open iTunes since. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do, because once I open iTunes, I literally can't do anything except shut down my computer. Any ideas??

I had that problem too. Maybe it works when you change your Bitrate in Itunes. My Bluetooth speakers run at 48 Khz and after the Itunes update, Itunes changed his settings to 44.1 kHz (before the update it was also 48kHz). I hope i could help you. Sorry for bad english i'm from Germany

Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1. Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

Griffin iMic output problems with iTunes

I bought an Griffin iMic so that I could listen to my iTunes library through my home stereo. However, I am having problems with the output. I have tried several different ways of connecting the iMic to my stereo, but I am not getting any sound output. It SHOULD work but it is not. Are there any known problems with iTunes and iMic and Max OS X 10.2.8?

I got this message from Griffin Technology
Technical Support, and it seemed to help with my sound quality output, even though it talks more about sound input.
Hello,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
First, let's make sure you're getting an input signal.
The easiest way to make sure that you're receiving an input signal
from the iMic is to go to your System Preferences/Sound Preferences.
Click on the INPUT tab and select iMic from the list of devices.
Below the list of devices is a Input Volume slider and a virtual
input meter. If you're seeing those lights move, there is a signal
coming into the device. The Input Volume slider is there to boost
up or help drop the amount of signal needed. A good signal should
stay somewhere around the middle of those meter lights.
Then click on output and be sure you have "built-in audio" selected.
Then you will have to either open Final Vinyl and select "preview"
to hear the audio come through your speakers.
Also check your Audio/MIDI Setup. Open your Applications folder
from the Finder, and scroll through the applications, down to
"Utilities." Select that, and then choose "Audio/Midi." From here,
set the "Properties For" or "Settings For" to iMic USB Audio System.
Then set both the input and the output to 16bit 2 channel 44100Hz.
Hope this helps,
Rachel

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?

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.

Problem with iTunes loading

I am having problems with iTunes. I would click on the icon and it does nothing. If anyone could help that would be great.

Dear B,
I tried all three of your suggestions, and happily the third suggestion worked. However, when I tried to use my internet, my connection was there but my browser couldn't locate my home pages.
I don't know which tabs to leave unchecked and which ones to check back after the steps you initially take to get it working. You are correct about changing it back, iTunes will no longer work when you default your settings after it works once.
I am still having problems with this... have you come up with anything else??
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Shirah

Weird intermittent problems with itunes

I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.
You can download a free version of an excellent scanner- Malwarebytes here:

Problem with iTunes 10.5

Ihave realised that after updating iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5.0, whenever I add music to my iPod, it updates songs that I didn't want updated, and removes the artwork on the iPod. It even does it when I add music that's on my iPod to a playlist. Any ideas why this happens??

I think I'm experiencing the same problem with iTunes 10.5 using my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, I made a post about the problems I've been having before I saw yours. Can you check out my post to see if the same thing is happening on your iPod?

Problem with itunes 5.0

I called HP on saturday to see if they could help me with my ipod. It quit working. HP informed me that there was some major problems with itunes and that was causing my ipod not to work. HP walked me through the process of deleting itunes 5.0 and walked me through resetting my ipod. Now when I try to play the music i purchased in itunes it tells me i'm not authorized and to authorize i need to enter my id and password. When I do this it takes me to the music store to download 5.0. I only have one computer so there is no one else using my account. When I go under advance in itunes there is no button for authorize. Any suggestions? I don't want to download 5.0 again because I don't want to have to start over. I am not happy because of all the money i spent buying music and i can't listen to it.

At this point in time, I can't speculate about the patch, other than Apple is definitely aware there is a problem which they are working to resolve. For myself, I downloaded 5.0 just fine without any hitches, but then the first couple of times I used it, I realized I have no sound/playback. My issue has now occurred with a number of other people, also. Basically, I'm not connecting my iPod to iTunes until I'm convinced that the problems are resolved. No sound is bad enough, but I don't want any of the other issues. My music is safe as I store it on an external HD, but I just don't want to take any chances.
Bottom line, once the patch is released, it might be prudent to wait several days to see if the installation issues with 5.0 start resolving. Keep in mind this is just my opinion as I am another user like yourself.

Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer

Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer. I hook up my iPhone as well as my Ipod and it does not download the new content on my computer.

with that one we'd better check on these possibilities:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
these resources might be helpful with that:
