Surely there is an alternative to Itunes since they won't help with ANYTHING having to do with iTunes although they are certainly willing to sell my family thousands of dollars worth of music???
Surely there is an alternative to Itunes?? They offer ZERO support unless I own a device although they were certainly willing to sell me thousancs of dollars worth of music. They have now wiped out all of my windows drivers and make no apologies for it, nor will help.
Itunes in Window xp has all of the missing and duplicating file problems. I finally said enough after reading dozens of posts, and trying the fixes that worked only for a short while.
I went to cnet and looked up media players and read the reviews.
MediaMonkey had the best rating. I have a portable/removable drive where I backup files and downloaded MediaMonkey to it. Volia! In three and one half hours I completed what three weeks of frustration never fixed. It's suppose to support iPods, but I won't know until I put it on the home computer.
Only downer is a lack of artwork. But I just copy and paste off the net and it stays put. And for Window users it's far more friendly than iTunes.
I may purchase the Gold Edition if it remains stable.
Love the iPod, hate Itunes.

When did Apple turn into piece of ****? It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost
I had a very similar problem, error 4251. (look in your log you will see that error) Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows. Like you did. I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all. In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up. (sigh) Yeah. It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
OK, here's what to try. Go to this Microsoft KB article. Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista. Delete the registry key that it specifies. Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows. (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.) If that is working now, you're on the right track.
Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken. Go and install the latest Gear driver. (I know you may have done it, but do it again.) Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry. Now reboot. Try and burn in iTunes.
I hope this helps. -
I have been trying to download ios8. I dont remember exactly what happened but at some point I ended up unplugging my phone from my computer because there was an error. Every since then it has not been turning on or responding to iTunes.
When it does respond to iTunes it tells me that I have to restore my phone. I click restore and it says "Extracting Software". It gets all the way to the end and then says that there is an error; something about a disk being full?
I have no idea what is going on and I could really use some help.
Thanks.1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?
Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

This is stupid. Since iTunes 12 came out I cannot open the P.O.S. software on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit). I have uninstalled the correct way, was told that my iTunes library was corrupted and to recreate it, which I did. Then I was told to downgrade my iTunes to an older version. Guess what? I can't because my library was created with a newer version. I cannot make changes to my account because I cannot sign in to iTunes since it won't stay up long enough.
Anyone have any luck fixing this crap program??
<Re-Titled by Host>As I said, some items cannot be purchased with an existing credit on an account no matter how much it is. It can only be purchased with a charge to a credit card.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help! I don't want to have to be stuck using my internal speakers!
Thank you,
ChrisMichael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,

My iPod touch will not reset. I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over. I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel. Any ideas?
Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Since I installed 5.1.1 every time I access the iTunes store app from my iPhone and iPad the iTunes store freezes. I cannot browse or purchase from the store. It freezes then closes out. I think it is linked to when My iTunes match is activated on my OS devices. I was on the phone with apple tech support for an hour, no help. Anyone else having connectivity issues with the iTunes store app from either the iPhone on iPad? If so were u able to fix it?
Please note i have tried turning off the phone, different card, it is not a bank issue and i have tried signing in and out of itunes

Just downloaded ios 7. Now my iphone won't connect to iTunes. It says I need Itunes 11. However, I'm running OS 10.5.8 which ITunes 11 doesnt recognize. Any suggestions other than buying a new Mac?
Upgrade your Mac to OS X "Snow Leopard". You need an Intel Mac (no PowerPC).
Purchase Snow Leopard from Apple:
Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
Once installed run Software Update which will update OS X to version 10.6.8. You can then download and install iTunes 11. -
help me i've lost 3/4's of my music on my iphone4s while synching and why can't i download my itunes library onto my iphone? i've tried and can't find a way. i've gone to itunes music section and checked off the artist, was that wrong? this working all so well before upgrading to ios6. what's going on?
Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

This is a question. As I previously stated, I purchased hundreds of dollars of music for my original IPOD. It and the computer onto which I downloaded the music have been (for lack of a better term) mislocated or destroyed. I know own an IPOD Nano. Isn't there a way for me to retrieve the music I purchased to download onto the new IPOD. It seems to me that since I paid for it, Itunes should have a record of it and I should still be allowed to access it for a download.
If you are living in the US and using iTunes 10.3 or later you can use the iCloud beta program to redownload your purchases. See this article for more details.

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent
I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.
I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped! -
