Unable to control iTunes app - podcast and music

After I upgraded, I lost the ability to:
Music:
Repeat 1 song
Repeat playlist
See what point in song I'm at.( Elapsed time/ time remaining)
Podcasts/ iTunes U
Change playback speed. I'm permanently stuck on 2x, which for some speakers is too fast.
See what point in podcast I'm at. (Elapsed time/ time remaining)

What happens when you try? Do you get an error message.
disconnect from the wifi and try on cellular data, if you can access the apps, then the problems lies with your router.

ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

ITunes update - podcasts and music library lost

A couple of days ago iTunes updated. Now, all of my podcasts are gone, and iTunes has lost its connection to my music (etc) library. When I reset the Library preference nothing happens (eg, my music doesn't reappear). And I usually get a sync error on my iPhone now. Help.?!
This is on a Windows XP machine; I use it just as a media server. Right now pretty much nothing works in iTunes but the radio.

If your are on Windows XP - SP2 and above, try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Not really sur easy you would be having that problem. Mine works. You might try RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

I have OS10.5 and an iPhone5 how do I get my apps, photos and music?

I have an Intel iMac core duo with OS10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.1. I have a 3GS which I recently upgraded to an iPhone5. I sync my 3GS and headed to the store to pick up my new phone. The AT&T guy hands me instructions which says I need to update my 3GS (iOS5) device before syncing the new iPhone5 (iOS6). iTunes would not let me update beyond 10.6.1. Apple, true to its word, I rec'd iOS update on Sep. 21st. So I turned on wifi and update my 3GS to iOS6. OK now my itunes does not recognize either phone because they are both iOS6. I never thought for a moment iTunes would not recognize my devices. Now I'm perplexed. I'm worried the answer is going to cost me more money.
I do have a wintel XP at my disposal which just downloaded iTunes7 onto, but of course, I have no previous backup stored. I can't figure out how to get my apps, photos and music onto my new iPhone. so, when I try to restore, it displays message that if I want to do this it will erase everything on my 3GS. Funny how itunes 7 is compatible with XP but not Leopard, but that is another discussion.

Upgrade iTunes on the Mac and the OS if required so that you have the correct version for syncing with iOS6.
Alternatively, you can copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the Mac to the PC and then you should be able to sync to the PC without issues.
You'll still need to create a backup on the PC to restore back to the iPhone5.
You can also try backing up the 3GS to iCloud and restoring the iPhone5 from that backup, but that will not restore or sync any media.

If I change my user id can I still access stuff (apps movies and music) etc purchased from my previous id

When we bought our iPads my partner set us both up with the same apple id and password.
We would now like to de-link the two iPads and have separate itunes accounts. How do we do I set up a new username and still have access to previously bought apps movies and music?

No ... just by itself, you cannot share these items. However by using a new feature, just offered, you can do Family Sharing.

This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How to create a playlist with podcasts AND music?

I created a playlist with both podcasts and music in it. The thing is when I try to shuffle it, only music plays. When I start playing podcasts, none of my music plays. How can I make them both play at the same time and shuffle on the same playlist?

In iTunes, you created a playlist (with songs and podcasts), and then synced that playlist to the iPod? Or you manually created a playlist on the iPod, and manually added songs and podcasts to that playlist? It needs to be an actual playlist that is on the iPod, not simply songs and podcasts on the iPod.
If you have a playlist on the iPod.... In shuffle mode, only songs play. Set the iPod to play-in-order (not shuffle). Then, select the playlist on the iPod (by selecting Music -> Playlists from the Home screen). With the playlist selected, press Play/Pause. The playlist plays the song and podcasts in the order shown for that playlist in iTunes.

How can I mix (and shuffle) both podcasts and music?

The former version of Itunes and the ipod update that went along with it, allowed my ipod to helpfully shuffle both podcasts, and songs, randomly.
While driving, I could play a podcast, and then a song would come up, and then maybe another song, or a podcast, without having to look down and select a particular podcast to play next.
With this new version, I have to play each podcast individually, which is a pain in the neck. If I select shuffle songs, and start with a podcast, it will play the podcast, and then never return to another podcast.
I've tried making a playlist with both music and podcasts on it, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a way to shuffle, or randomly play, both podcasts and music? I thought this would be a simple setting matter, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Aha - I did it. Switch off Voice-over, then add a sorted playlist. Fingers crossed...

Itunes in my Ipad only gives me three options: itunes U, Podcasts and download. What do I do?

iTunes in my iPad only gives me three options: iTunes U, Podcasts and downloads (which, by the way, doesn't go beyond the terms and conditions). How do I get the rest of the options?

Well, Meg, I'm more than sorry too. It is not our intention to violate any terms. We are only trying to find a viable and legal way to be able to enjoy the full potential of our iPad and, of course, pay for it as expected. Even when I'm at fault for not doing some research before buying it, it is certainly unfortunate to discover that we won't be getting our money's worth after all. If you ever hear about this limitation changing, please, let me know. Thank you for all your help.

Hello, bisco,
This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.
Regards.
