Update RUINED iTunes!!!

Ever since I updated to iTunes 7.4.2, my iTunes has been going nuts. Or, not doing anything at all. When I open it, it won't play songs or close, so I have to close it and open it several times before it will play. Then it loses all my album art, ocassionally bringing some of it back, then loses it again.
Acess to the store is iffy-- it keeps giving me errors about opening, playing, buying songs, searching--everything! Then, sometimes when the store loads, all I get are broken links all over.
Just recently, it stopped synching to my iPod. (I have a 2nd gen Nano) This is REALLY cause for concern. I must have my iTunes in working shape again! Can I uninstall the update and go back to my old version? (I think it was version 7.3 for Mac) I knew I shouldn't have updated...

Windows XP will not play the new version of iTunes for some reason, unless you download iTunes and Quicken with almost every other program turned off. Follow these suggestions that worked for me:
1) Remove Quicktime and iTunes from your computer (via add/remove program link at Start/Control Panel).
2) Go to Start, Run, and then type msconfig and hit ok.
3) Under the general tab, click on "selective startup," uncheck "load system services."
4) Go to the services tab, check "hide all MS Services," uncheck all, thek click only "ipodservice."
5) Reboot your computer.
6) Download quicktime from www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone - Save this to your desktop for convenience.
7) Download iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes/download -Save this to your desktop for convenience
8) From your desktop, install Quicktime
9) From your desktop, install iTunes
10) Go to start, run, type in msconfig, hit ok
11) At the general tab, select "normal startup," click ok.
12) Enjoy iTunes once again!!!

Software updater ruined itunes! help!

my itunes was running fine until i ran the software updater yesterday (1/26/06). i can only assume that that caused the problem, though i don't really know.
now when i try to open itunes the black arrow appears next to it on the dock but that is the only indication that it's open. no screen appears. i can't access an itunes menu. nothing. i can just force quit it. i've tried reinstalling from the website but it's no use. it is, however, very possible that i did not delete all relevent files before reinstalling. i just don't know.
does anybody have any suggestions? thanks...

Try deleting your iTunes preference files (com.apple.itunesxxx.plist, in your user's Library -> Preference folder) and see if that helps.

I updated my itunes now all my music is distorted

I recently updated my itunes and now all my music has this high pitch distorted sound. Is my music ruined or is this just an update glitch?

Try resetting ..
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, if you have a computer, place the iPod in recovery mode to restore.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Otherwise you may need to take the device to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider.

Did OS update ruin my iPod Touch?

Since updating the OS on his iPodTouch last night, the iPod is no longer recognized by any computer and only shows the screen showing it needs to be plugged into iTunes. I did that but iTunes and my PC never recognized that the iPod was plugged in. Did the update ruin my iPod???? Does Apple repair/replace in these instances?

Hello,
I`m sorry to hear that your Ipod has been wrecked and needs to be plugged into Itunes. I will try my best to help with your problem!
Try the following things:
-Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 sec. or until Apple Logo appears
-Did you try connecting it to a different computer? Maybe the computer doesnt recognize it, but maybe another computer might?
-Restart the computer. Sometimes this happens to me, it says plug it into Itunes, and then I do, but it pops up an error message. I just restart the computer, then it works again.
Hope that helps!
If the above things do not work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution.
Thanks,

P.S. I updated my Ipod Touch, 4th generation to IOS 6.0.1 on Wednesday January 30th,2013.

After updating to iTunes 11, issues with multiple Apple IDs on one computer

My boyfriend and I both use the iMac, and both have Apple IDs. We are separate users on the iMac, and each logs in to his or her "side." Neither one of us had the slightest iTunes problem until we updated to iTunes 11. Now, I just discovered that the iMac is linked with his iTunes account for at least another 46 days, which means that I'm not allowed to download to the iMac purchases I made under my Apple ID on my phone.
Is there a way to fix this? It's ridiculous that one of us would be locked out for 90 days at a time when all we want to do is back up music we legally purchased.

Multiple users can "authorize" content on one computer, but in order to re-download content (including Match and stuff purchased on another device/computer), you have to "associate" the computer with that AppleID, and this can only be done for one AppleID per computer and can only change every 90 days.
This has always been the rule, but it's more obvious since iTunes 11, because all your previous purchases now appear as cloud content, and it's easy to screw things up by accident.
If you email the iTunes store, it's possible they will reset the counter and let you switch back to your AppleID (they did for me), but they will only do this once.
There's really no reason to "back up" stuff purchased from the store. If you want to listen to it on the computer, you can do "transfer purchases" while syncing, so there are workarounds. Still, it's unquestionably a stupid rule that punishes legitimate users and does nothing to stop illegal sharing. I encourage you to write very nasty feedback about it.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

I just updated my itunes and now it won't open.

I've been having multiple problems with my computer, every time it asks me to update I do. But when i updated my itunes about a week ago while it was re importing all my files it closes and says :
The application iTunes quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the 3ivxVideoCodec plug-in.
then it asks me if i want to relaunch report or ignore, so the first time i clicked ignore, then this kept happening, finally i reported it, and i've been getting ****** cause nothing is working and i would appreciate it if i could get some help and get my iMac running smothly with no problems again!
so please help.

Try opening iTunes in "Safe Mode" (without external plug-ins) and see it the problem persists. To do this press Command+Option (while opening iTunes).
If you decide to remove a plug-in, they are in your Library folder -> iTunes folder -> iTunes Plug-Ins.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

TS2972 since i updated my itunes it will not show up on apple tv

Any idea how to get my apple tv to show up on computer menu. it worked perfectly before i updated my itunes. Any ideas?

Ok, I figured it out. What I did is added it to purchased on Apple TV playlist, (it should have been there in the first place), and then I put a check next to it. Bam back on the big screen. I never edited the playlists, so I have no idea how it was removed in the first place, or for that matter, why it even has to be there in order it to sync. I hope this helps someone out in the future. Thanks for the input and the interest.

Why is it that everytime I update my iTunes(or do something big), my iPod gets a new glitch?

I noticed after my two updates, that my iPod gets weird after every single one. For example, it was perfectly fine when I bought it and then, I updated iTunes. Then, my iPod starts acting like a TV screen and has lines show up every so often to make me think that it is almost broken. I bought it in December and it is a touch. 64gb and 4th generation. So now, I don't update my iTunes. Also it seems to be glitching with my album covers. I added 30 new songs today all with a cover(some already having some because of a past album) and when I lock my iPod and play the songs, the album covers get switched up or don't even come up at all. :/ This makes me worry. What can I do? (Without restoring it.)

Basics are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried a reset?
