Sound Issue - music in iTunes has channels filtered out.

Greetings. I am experiencing an issue where music played using iTunes will have channels filtered as if being modified by some Dolby process. I am using Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks One (stereo with subwoofer). Is there some setting somewhere to defeat or disable the Karaoke effect? This is driving me nuts. Thank you for any suggestions. Scott

Malcolm, thank you so much. Why do we even need that setting? Are there enhanced surround sound speaker systems that connect to Macs which would use it? Thanks again. Scott

  • My iTunes has stopped working out of nowhere. When iTunes is opened it displays "iTunes has stopped working" and windoes automatically closes it saying it will look for a soluton. What do I do? I have un-installed it and re-installed multiple times.

    My itunes has stopped working out of nowhere. When I open iTunes a message appears stating "iTunes has stopped working." and windows closes iTunes sayng it will look for a solution. I have Windows 8.1 64-Bit and have been using iTunes 11.1 (or the newest one out there). I have un-installed and re-installed multiple times. The same message continues to pop up.

  • Much of my music in itunes has disappeared since syncing with iphone 4s?

    I'm not sure what is going on, but most of my music in itunes seems to have disappeared since syncing with my new iphone4s.
    I just noticed this when trying to look for a ringtone to put on my phone. I haven't put any music or anything like that onto my phone yet.
    What is going on? Can I get this back? I still have the music on an ipod. most of the music I uploaded from cd to itune.
    ty for help.

    This is not sounding like an iTunes Match issue - worth trying the iPhone forum and/or the iTunes for Windows/Mac forum.
    Usually in synchronisation, pending settings the library will adjust Songs on the device - it is not normal for connect to a device to alter Songs in a library unless to add - for example, addition of Songs purchase on the device.
    Would recommend - creating a second library, importing Songs from iPod and making a secure backup - from here you can use this resource to correct your original library, once the issue with your iPhone has been resolved.

  • Importing all my music to iTunes(Please help me out)

    Hello,
    I just purchased a 20gb ipod today and am havintg some trouble importing all of my music. I have complete music library's in "RealPlayer" "Winamp" and "Windows Media Player", it doesnt matter which one of these i import from(whatevers easier i guess). I have tried the add folder option on "Documents and settings", "my documents" and "program files" and it has only imported around 600 of the 3600 songs in my music library.
    Also, i have read pages and pages on this board trying to find an answer. I saw one post which talked about this very issue but it was never resolved. It confronted importing from windows media to iTunes and the answer was to highlight all the music and drag it over to iTunes. This Does Not Work. I highlight all my song, hold down on the mouse and move it over to the iTunes box. However once i leave the Windows media box the arrow from my mouse turns into a circle w/a line acrosse, not allowing me to drag it.
    Please Give me an answer on how I can import all my music to iTunes. If you do I will kiss your feet and applaud your genious.
    Please help me out.
    Josh

    Hi,
    No. I never found a solution to the problem to import my music libary from Realplayer to itunes.
    I have exhausted everything that I know and have read as tips from this and other posts.
    Please come back to post an answer if you find a solution and I will do the same.
    I am going to go ahead and just synch to Realplayer to fill up my ipod. Then I will see if I can switch to itunes for all future synching and hope that I can find a way not to lose the music on my ipod that came from Realplayer. If this doesn't work, I will have to stick with Realplayer as my main music interface and synching for ipod.

  • Itunes has taken money out of my bank and I haven't purchased anything. please check and advise ASAP

    My account has been debited for a total of £49.45p over the course of 2 days, namely 21st and 22nd of January 2013.
    I / we have not downloaded any music over these 2 days. I expect you to reimburse this money forthwith.
    Regards

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are your fellow users, and we cannot check nor refund anything.
    The most immediate thing you need to do is to call your bank and report the unauthorized charges. Your bank can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your bank account directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account in which case it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • My music on iTunes has gone completely wrong. Could anyone please help me?

    Hello everyone. I'll try and keep this as unconvoluted as possible so here goes...
    I have iTunes 10.4.1.10, although the problem started with the previous update. I was trying to sync music from a Top rated playlist to a new iPhone (a 3GS with up-to-date-software) when I noticed that some of the albums which I had previously has on had disappeared. All of  my albums are saved onto an external hard drive, but the album icons were not on the music library. I put the albums back on (and a few new ones) and a message came up saying that the albums/songs were already there and would I like to replace them; I clicked the 'yes' button. I went about giving the songs I wanted in my Top Rated with no problems and went to sync them as normal. This is where it goes wrong.
    iTunes goes through the syncing motions (Steps 1 and 2), reaches Step 3 where it syncs the songs, syncs about 40 of the songs (there are 770 in total) before reaching one of the songs which I had found missing and had put on again. iTunes crashes ( I think that describes it: the 'syncing bar' at the top stays frozen on the song, it will not shut down but everntually stops trying to syns and I can shut it down again; and when I look at the iPod on my iPhone it says cancelling sync and then that it is updating the library before going back to normal).
    This was done on the first attempts, now when I try it syncs one songs before the problem song before going wrong. A thing to note about the song before is that the song that ends up on my ipod isn't the one it said that it was syncing, and the songs do not appear to be added in any sort of order.
    After this I get a message that the song that caused this cannot be found: 'Attempting to copy to the disk "Charlie's iPhone" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).' Sometimes this is followed by a similar message which says that the song in question cannot be found.
    When I put my hard drive into the computer it says that there may be a problem with some of the files on the hard drive and would I like to scan and fix them, but it does not specify whether those files are music files (there are photo files, Word files, all sorts on it). I haven't given it permission to do so yet, this has not caused problems with previous i-Pods -Phones or Tunes and I don't exactly see how this would affect it now anyway seeing as the files have been re-done (burned off of iTunes and stored on the hard drive directly), but this may help work out the problem.
    A few last things. There is are albums which I definately have NOT put onto iTunes or my hard drive which has appeared on my iTunes music selection and I highly doubt are in the house (Bob Acri's self-titled album containing just song 3 and Fine Music, Vol. 1 by Richard Stoltzman containing the second song), they may have been added onto the computer by another family member and just innocently found their way on iTunes and my hard drive, but they're not the sort of thing anyone in my family would listen to, so maybe that might help someone diagnose the problem too.
    Also, the same thing is happening with my laptop, which has the previous update to the one I mentioned above. This would suggets that its either the new updates fault or the hard drive's fault, I would suspect it would be the former as the laptop too did not have any issues like this, or indeed at all, before the two updates.
    Anyway, thank you for taking the time for reading through, and if anyone could offer any hints or tip or advice to get iTunes back to speed I would be very grateful.
    Thank you!

    Having a similar issue.  Everytime i restart itunes its like its the first time its run and wants to look for music.   Yes, please help!

  • Front Row claims no music, but iTunes has all my music listed

    I'm new to the Mac OS so completely in your hands to help with an issue I am having with trying to get Front Row going... here is what I am observing and my environment:
    Situation
    - All my music is listed in iTunes (videos as well)
    - When using Front Row and looking at the library it states there is no music and that I need to purchase music from the iTunes store
    - My MacBook from work (2.0GHz Intel with 10.5.6) has the iTunes library also from my exernal drive... BUT has all the music listed! :/
    Environment
    - Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel)
    - OS X v10.5.6
    - Front Row v2.0 (229)
    - All my music is on an external Buffalo TeraStation 1TB disk-array
    - Music totals about 300GB (+/-)
    - All my music is DRM-free and are 'ripped' from my CDs before getting the Mac... or mixes I have downloaded online from various sites such as Podomatic, etc.
    What I've tried
    * In looking at various sites online (including here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1826723&tstart=0) I have tried the solution of taking the default music location in iTunes and putting an alias to my external disk-array... and then rebuilt the library and rebooted... still Front Row claims nothing there.
    * It was mentioned in another posting on Apple (I believe) about looking at the Front Row 'library file' and deleting it and then let it get re-created by the software... nothing.
    Anyhow I'd love to use Front Row but really frustrated as to why it wont reflect all the music I already have in iTunes! Any suggestions? I'm new to the Mac OS, but by far not a newbie to computers so feel free to ask any in-depth questions which might help... I just might also need the path on how to find the information being asked.
    Again, my Macbook does list everything in Front Row from the iTunes library and from my limited knowledge the only difference is that my laptop is solely connected wirelessly and the Mac Mini is via RJ45... but I would be shocked if that played into this. Suggestions?
    Hopefully this will also help others as I've asked many of my 'Mac friends' and they are also stumped as to why Front Row wont show what is in my library.
    Message was edited by: DrDtroit

    1) No - downloaded a free song and it plays in iTunes, but claims nothing in Front Row. Also Front Row states there are no podcasts, even though I have at least 6 podcasts in iTunes all with a lot of content
    2) I shared the Macbook library and I -can- view it with Front Row on the Mac Mini... so that worked.
    2b) Front Row on the Macbook is able to work with not only my Macbook iTunes, but also loads the Mac Mini library and works with it. :/
    2c) Switch source back to the Mac Mini, and nothing...
    So is this as simple as a corrupt install or something? Seems something local to Front Row on the Mac Mini itself...

  • HT201272 All of my music in iTunes has disappeared.  Two years worth of music and work, GONE!  How can I get it back?

    All of my music has disappeared.  It appears after a recent update, the files from the past 2 years are gone.  They are not in any of the music folders or other download folders either.
    How can this be fixed as it's not my error the songs are missing?
    Thank you,
    Shane

    See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash or Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    If the media files really have been deleted, and there is no other source, then there are various undelete tools ranging from free, e.g. FreeRecover, to expensive which might help depending on how the files/folders were deleted and how much work is involved in recovering them. Either way, the more you do with the drive the less chance they have of being able to recover your data successfully. You should also extract the data to another drive to avoid corrupting what has yet to be rescued.
    Note also that some "free" recovery tools are bait & switch. The free download will show what can be recovered, but you have to pay up before it actually pulls out any data.

  • All of my uploaded music within iTunes has been deleted, it is still on my C drive (I think) the music I had downloaded from the itunes store had also been removed but was available to download via the icloud system. HELP.

    My iTunes 11.1.5.5 was running fine on my Windows 7 machine untill  I opened iTunes to find all my uploaded CD albums missing with only my purchased iTunes store dowloads avalible, these had also been deleated but appeared within iTunes both to play and re dowload via icloud.
    Over 170gb of music was deleated from iTunes. I checked my C drive and it appears that the music is still on the P.C hard drive.
    Is there an easy simplistic way to repopulate my iTunes from my C drive.
    Simple instructions would help.
    Thank you very much.

  • All of my music in iTunes has disappeared, why?

    I logged into my iTunes acocunt this morning and found that I have nothing in it. No music, no movies, no games... Where did it all go?

    Are all your songs etc. still in the usual folder(s) on your computer? Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • Itunes has me locked out and says that i dont have permission]

    How to unlock itunes on windows 7 and says that it is on a locked disk or i dont have writen permission. how do i fix this?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I no longer have sound for either my audio books or my music on itunes.  I've tried everything--restarting, updating, re-installing audible app, and restoring the iphone to its factory settings--nothing helps.  How do I get the sound back?

    How do I get the sound back on my iPhone 4?  I've tried all the fixes such as restarting iPhone, reinstalling the audible app, and finally yesterday, I restored the phone to its factory settings.  I still get no sound from music on iTunes or from my audible books.  The phone still rings (I have sound for that) and the voice control speaks to me, and when I'm typing, the automatic text voice speaks so I can hear it but nothing else works. 

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.
