Synchronization lost with every new Itune update

Did anyone know why every time I update my Itune to a newer version, I lost my synchronization with my songs ?
whatever song I will try to play, I got the warning that “the song could not be used because the original file could not be found” and I add to delete and re-add all the song and set-up all my favorite again
anyone can help ?
thanks

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

Having problems with the new iTunes update

I just updated Itunes on my Windows desktop and now it won't open at all. Error message says Program cannot start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Reinstall the program. Unfortunatelly I did uninstall and then tried to reinstall it but now it doesn't download. What can I do?

Hi Jos_Dor1510,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to reinstall iTunes, be sure you have used these instructions to completely remove iTunes and all of its related components from your computer:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

A few days ago with the new Itunes update, i forgot to restart my computer and now itunes will not open. I don't feel comforable uninstalling becuase i dont have all my music saved on an external hard drive. Any advice? Help please!

I have a Toshiba Laptop and I dont know the exact model or anything, might be a windows 7...i have no clue. Every other answer is saying to uninstall then reinstall but i really dont feel safe doing that without all my songs externally saved (just incase) and now i cant even get into itunes! Any help is greatly appreciated

What error message are you getting when you try to launch iTunes? (Precise text, please.)

I can't burn CD's with the new iTunes update

So I updated to iTunes 12.0.1 and my CD can not be read by iTunes. They will just show up as Track 01, Track 02. The CD plays fine and I'm connected to the internet so I don't know if it's just the update or something else. I am using a 2011 MacBook Pro.

You can edit them using Get Info.

New iTunes Update Has Made it Impossible to Load to My Ipod

I just downloaded and installed the new update for iTunes. When I next attached my ipod to load things on to it I couldn't. I shows up on iTunes, no problem. But when I right click on things to add them to the ipod it doesn't show up under the 'Add to Playlist' category as it used to. I've found that if I select 'Autofil' that will put music onto the ipod, but I have no control over what order they are in. Any rearranging of the order after they load won't take. Also, none of my Audio Books from Audible.com will load onto it at all.
I tried restarting the system, restoring my ipod to factory settings, uninstalling iTunes and then installing it again. I even downloaded and used the Ipod Reset Utility. Nothing works. So, all I can have is random music but none of the Audio Books which were my REASON for getting an ipod in the first place.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and what I should do about it?
Thanks,
Georgia

I'm having a lot of problems with the new iTunes update. I only use the Shuffle for podcasts, while exercising. With the new iTunes, I cannot even load podcast on the Shuffle.
The Autofill features never worked for podcasts, even before the recent update, but at least it was a convenient way to clear my Shuffle. I was able to highlight podcasts, then add them to the Shuffle manually.
Now, the Shuffle does not even show up as an option, just as Georgia Millet described.
Is there a way to roll back iTunes to the older version, until this can be fixed???? This is extremely frustrating.
I may just switch to a different software, if these problems continue...

New iTunes update and old podcasts

With the new iTunes update, all of my OLD podcasts are back on the list, apparently in the cloud. I do not want all of these old episodes showing up after I delete them but there is no longer a delete option when I highlight the unwanted episodes and right click. How do I hide old episodes from my podcast list?

I have the same problem. My podcasts show up under podcasts in itunes but not on my ipod and I have to search under music when I want to listen to them. It's a pain. Someone please help.

HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
Thanks.

Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
*If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone?

No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

My computer was restarted and now i want to connect and update my iphone with a new itunes. how do i do this without losing all my stuff on my iphone?

i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed
will i lose any of my stuff?

When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
Hope this help

How do you update playlists on your iPod with the new iTunes?

With the new iTunes, I can't seem to be able to update playlists on my iPhone device when plugging it in. I can add songs to the playlist and can add songs to my device. However after adding songs to a playlist, I can not update that playlist on my device with the new iTunes. You used to be able to just drag a playlist to the device and update it, but you no longer can. Can someone please tell how to go about updating playlists on devices using the new iTunes.

Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.
