Updating to iTunes 6.0.3 Problems

I recently upgraded my iTunes player to version 6.0.3 (as prompted by Apple) ... when I started iTunes up after the installation I noticed my entire library and all playlists have gone missing.
Is there a way I can synchronize my iTunes with my iPod so I can basically restore my library from my iPod? OR am I stuck re-loading all music files, re-creating all playlists, downloading podcasts and re-adding album art?
Thanks for the wisdom! ... J.Zed

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I updated to 6.0.3, and plugged in my iPod, it deleted all of my songs from my iPod. When I try to update it and put them back on, it says I don't have enough disk space left to update. Everything is still showing in my library. I was able to get some songs back when I manually selected certain playlists but it would only let me update a few hundred. I even tried letting iTunes create a playlist for me and it only put 260 songs on it. Before the upgrade I was right around 1000 songs on my mini. I could always uncheck a song to add a new purchased song. I've taken off now about 20 or so and still it says I don't have enough disk space. Please Help! Thanks.

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

Updated Apps still show as available to update on iTunes?

After updating apps they sometimes show as still available for update in iTunes, even after updating several times. They eventually do seem to disappear but it is a little annoying. Any ideas how to fix?
Thanks
Tony

This is the same problem as shown above as an iPhone problem "Problem Updating an Application," the problem on the iPhone results because the App isn't updated in iTunes.
The apparent problem in both cases: iTunes becomes aware of a new version of a program, an update. It "downloads" it, but for some reason it isn't downloadad, for this reason the program remains in the list of my available downloads.
So, when I synchronize with the iPhone, nothing has changed, and as a result the program remains displayed as an open update. But the problem seems to be between iTunes and the store. This only happens with some apps, for some unknown reason. Other apps work fine at the same time.
Are we going to be able to hope that a solution for this problem will become available in the forseeable future?
All the best,

Hi, I have an iphone 4 with my itunes library on a Windows XP computer. My spouse (who has now passed away) had an itouch with an itunes library on an IMac. here is the problem, I bought an new iphone 6 and wanted to sync with my windows xp library and of course my itunes version is out of date and I need to update it...well I try and update the version and it will not update the Itunes library and when I researched it I would have to upgrade from XP to Windows 7...r they kidding me...first of all my computer is old and a pain in the *** but I have my itunes library on it. Sp to get my phone working I sync'd it on the IMac and my spouses Itunes library has been sync'd to my iphone and I don't know how to get my library on it...After thinking about it I want to combine the libraries after all there are some purchases on each one.
I have done some research and you have to buy a 3rd party piece of software...this is not the way I want to go...I do not think i should have to buy one and also when I do a goole search there are a ton of them out there and I am sorry i do not trust the comments as some of them do identify that they will get a kick back.
Can someone help, i should be able to export my itunes library from my iphone 4 to the itunes library by appending/importing it...it is not rocked science on what I want to do and I cannot find out any process...
Can someone help ?

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

My thorough list of problems after updating to iTunes 7

I've been reading the topics around. Some of these problems below seem to be sort of common, with slight differences in my case. Some others I couldn't figure out whether anyone else has experienced them.
First of all, unlike in a lot of the topics that I've read around, I didn't have any problems installing iTunes 7 (although the problems started right after I turned it on for the first time...). Nor did I have any problems updating the software on my iPod to version 1.2, which I have to say, unlike iTunes 7, seems to be very nice, particularly on the new detail of searching the long lists of songs/artists/albums alphabetically.
1) The least serious of the bugs on iTunes already used to happen to me with the previous version 6. Occasionaly, when I plug in my iPod to the computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it properly. Instead of the 5th generation video, it shows up on iTunes as a previous generation iPod without video. What happens then is that iTunes screws up the whole artwork settings on the iPod. It starts off by switching off the artwork visualization option on my iPod, the next time it correctly recognizes it as the 60 G video model. And when I turn the option back on, as it should always have stayed, iTunes proceeds to reorganize the whole artwork list on the iPod, by first deleting it completely and then optimizing it. When one has the iPod with more than 20 G full of albums (let alone when it's 60 G are completely full...), this is something that already takes a lot of time and becomes irritating, taking into account that it happens sort of randomly: you plug in the iPod and pray that iTunes recognizes it properly. It used to happen to me quite frequently with iTunes 6, and I thought it would be fixed with the new version 7. But it hasn't: yesterday it already happened to me again, once, after I plugged/unplugged it some 10-15 times. The frequency of the ocurrence of the problem, at least, seems to have decreased, when compared to iTunes 6.
2) As opposed to the previous problem, the most serious happend to me right after I started iTunes 7 for the very first time, with the iPod plugged in. Like it has already been reported by several particpants in this forum, it started doing the infamous gapless analysis on my BIG iPod song library and it froze after a while, finally crashing with the usual message "Do you want to send a report to Microsoft". Up to this point, this seems to be common with a lot of users of the new version 7. With me, it went farther. I was the one that froze right afterwards: when I started iTunes again, I realized that in the process of freezing/crashing/restarting iTunes had switched off my manual update option on the iPod, instantaneously erasing about 5000 songs that I had loaded in it. The problem is that I didn't have enough space on my computer hard-disk to hold those 25 G of music, so I only kept them on the iPod whereas my iTunes music library was essentially empty. And there I am now, importing every single one of my CDs back into iTunes and to the iPod, something that will take me another couple of weeks at least.
3) Taking into account the previous point, I am essentially using iTunes 7 now from the start with an empty library, importing every CD back from scratch, as if this was my first encounter with iTunes and iPod. I cannot see then what it could have done to an already existing music library on the computer (other than completely erasing the one that I had on the iPod), like some damage that also I read happened to some people. With the CDs being imported all over again with iTunes 7, it no longer does any gapless analysis of anything, because there are no songs imported with previous iTunes versions to be analyzed. The sound is also fine: I don't get any of the static or garbled noises that I read were also troubling a lot of people.
4) As for the crossfading/gapless discussion, after experimenting with those (now infamous) two options for a while, I got to the conclusion that there's really no point at all in having them, even when they work well... let alone the serious problems that their introduction on iTunes 7 has been causing. By turning the crossfading option on, I can see that iTunes merges the end of one song with the beginning of the following one, with time lengths depending on the slider position chosen by the user in the corresponding option's window. But it's something that I personally dislike a lot, to have both songs sort of being played on top of each other, during their transition. So I switched it off. On the other hand, the gapless playback seemed to be a nice welcome. It is true that, until this version 7 came up, on certain albums, like in the classical "Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band" (that supposedly first started that concept) or a lot of the Pink Floyd ones, where the songs are almost continuous without any pauses between them, both iTunes and the iPod used to force an inconvenient pause between the songs. I then imagined that this gapless option would at least improve on that. But what I've figured out by now, after using iTunes 7 for three days, is that if the original albums don't have any pauses between songs, iTunes 7 now imports those albums exactly as they are, without any pauses either, even if both the crossfading and the gapless option are switched off. In other words, after importing my "Sgt. Pepper's" and "Dark Side of the Moon" CDs again with iTunes 7, I no longer get forced pauses between the songs like I used to get before, either on iTunes, or in the iPod. This, even though I make sure that those two options are switched off. The gapless playback seems then to be sort of automatic now on iTunes 7, as it should, if that's the way the original imported album is also recorded. And this troublesome gapless option seems then to be a completely useless thing, unless the idea is to fix songs imported with previous iTunes versions, or to force gapless playing on albums that originally have pauses.
5) As many people have noted already, the "Drag and drop" album artwork window only works for single songs. If one wants to cut and paste the artwork into that window for several selected songs or a whole album at once, like it could be done on iTunes 6, that's not working now. One has to select all the songs and then, with the right mouse button, choose the info window to paste the artwork into the small box there.
6) Finally, when the iPod is plugged to the computer, some viewing configurations on iTunes are not being memorized either. For example, I always turn the browser option on (Ctrl+B), so that I can see the artists and albums lists, on top of the complete song list. But everytime I plug the iPod back on, that option is switched off. For the main iTunes music library it's OK: I've only needed to do it once, and now that viweing configuration has been there forever, everytime I start iTunes. But whenever I plug the iPod and click on its music library, I then need to press Ctrl+B every time, because iTunes doesn't seem to keep that viewing option switched on from the previous time the iPod was plugged. Again, this is something that worked fine with iTunes 6.
Conclusion: there are indeed a lot of bugs to be fixed with this new version of iTunes, some of them highly damaging to the saved libraries. IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T UPDATED TO VERSION 7, DON'T DO IT YET. WAIT A FEW WEEKS UNTIL APPLE FIXES ALL THIS.

Upgrading to itunes 7.0 just cost me 2 days of messing around and in the end I had to revert back to v6.0 and resore my lib.
Apple CS was good but did not belly up the fact that 7.0 is defective in some cases and in the end told me I had a hardware problem!
The main issue is that I could not get itunes 7.0 to see my ipod (very infrequently after a hard boot I would see it but would not be able to upload anything). Worked(s) 100% with v 6.0.
This is very defintey 1/2 baked following in the steps of the other well known producers of sw that is not always functional/buggy the first time around.

Problems with Gband after updating to iTUnes 7 and Quicktime

Garageband has bee acting strange ever since the update and sometimes tracks freeze and it goes into a repeat which won't stop until I use the power button to shut down the computer. I am having multiple application problems since the forced update to iTunes 7. Anyone else having issues?

many times in the past, a quicktime and/or iTunes update has caused some weird stuff. Did you repair permissions after the update? Sometimes that will clear it up. Other times, many folks have gone back to the previous versions until a fix was found.

Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

Hi
After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
All other features seem to work... only opening the iTunes store is failing..
I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
Please help

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.
