Very Strange iTunes Behaviour???!!!

Hi All
Wonder if anyone can shed some light on this. I have been a happy itunes/ipod user for many years until this week! iTunes, all of a sudden, now only imports my cd's at about x5 instead of the usual x16, while it imports the mouse pointer moves in a jerky fashion as though all the memory is being used and it also messes with my broadband net connection rendering it useless and I have to reboot my pc to get the net to work again!
I did a fresh install of itunes (latest version) no difference. I checked the cpu usage while the import is in progress - its about 50% used both cpu and RAM. My CD drive is set to DMA and my itunes library that I'm importing to is frequently emptied out to an external HD so the file on the internal HD is small.
The only thing I can think of that I have done recently is set up an itunes store account, but surely that will not cause all these problems?
Any clues would be appcreciated
thanks
Lee

Is it a firmware issue then? I always find things like this puzzling as it was working well last week but this week it isn't????
yeah, although i'm wondering a wee bit more about video drivers at the moment, based on the mouse/display behavior.
i figure our PCs are pretty much gently altering on a daily basis ... what with security software updates, windows updates, and just general wear and tear. every now and then they slowly move past some threshhold, and the effects are reasonably dramatic, even though the change in the conditions has been slight and incremental.
but enough philosophical musings ... let's try and get her working a bit better.
perhaps before we go the drivers route, let's try some general maintenance and spring cleaning.
download fresh definitions and do some vigorous virus and spyware scans.
now do a disk cleanup, clear your temporary internet files (that's in your Internet options), and run your favorite disk checking utility. if you don't have one, try running a chkdsk:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
now do a disk defrag and reboot.
try doing a reimport of one of the CDs you were getting the grumpy behavior with. does it behave a bit better, or is the import still sluggish, and the mouse still a bit wonky?

  • Very strange itunes behaviour: please help!

    OK. So I downloaded uniblue's 'speed up my PC' software which is highly unadvisable because quite apart from it having little noticeable effect, it appears to have really screwed up my itunes, albeit more in an annoying way than a disastrous way.
    On attempting to open itunes I am presented with a small box (Windows Xp SP3 by the way.) which says "Importing 'iTunes Music Library.xml'..." This takes about 3-4 minutes. Then the box changes to "Organizing Files" and appears to scan through my music very quickly - about 5-10 seconds.
    Then I get an error message reading: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed this file to 'iTunes Library (Damaged).itl'
    So I press 'OK' (the only option) and itunes opens, and begins "creating artwork thumbnails" and "Determining gapless playback information" each of which takes aprox. 5 minutes.
    While this is going on another error message appears: "The itunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1450)." Again 'OK' is the only option. This message sometimes appears multiple times.
    At this point I closed down itunes, uninstalled it, defragged my hard drive, deleted the itunes file and replaced it with a backup I keep on my external hard drive, then reinstalled it.
    Hallelujah! It worked fine again, opening without any problems, with all my playlist and playcount data safe. I thought I had solved my problem. However, after the third reboot itunes reverted to its old behaviour (starting from paragraph two) again. I have now been through this entire cycle about three times and am getting very fed up.
    If anyone could explain to me why this is happening and how to fix it - I wouldn't be able to thankyou enough.

    Praise be to Lord above! I have fixed it! And because I'm a nice guy and wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same frustration - I'm going to tell you how...
    It was a problem with the registry that was causing the issue and funny old thing - uniblue's 'Registry Booster' solved the issue. It's ironic that software from the same company was used to solve the problem I know...I had almost decided to uninstall all uniblue products, but decided to run one last scan with registry booster to see what happened....So just to sum up, this is how to solve the above issue:
    1. Re-create/rebuild your library as detailed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 or replace itunes folder with backup. Delete any corrupted/damaged files.
    This alone should solve many issues but if you keep getting repeated corruption problems like I did then the problem seems to be within the REGISTRY.
    2. To solve the registry error - I ran uniblue's 'Registry Booster' programme. I have no idea how to fix the registry manually. Sorry.

  • Very strange aMule behaviour

    Hello all,
    ever since I've upgraded my system (pacman -Su) I get very strange behaviour from aMule.
    I see nothing on all of the panels that list stuff (for example search results or even shared files) -- this is despite that aMule counts these items - it simply doesn't show them. (for example it says Shared Files(2))
    I guess something messed up with the wxWidget that does the sortable list stuff component or something?

    Without knowing the code, can't say for sure, but it sounds like the buffer was never cleared on your server.
    Typically, a client does not send data over the network until a buffer is full - then it sends the entire buffer. The server typically won't read (input.isReady() should return false) until it's receieve buffer is full.
    However, if you kill the server/client processes and restart them - it normally would clear out the buffers - as java does automatic GC pickup.
    Try adding a gc() to the termination of the server, and also try making the clients flush() their output streams before closing the connection.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Strange iTunes behaviour which no one seems to get, but me! (Track naming)

    I have a very annoying issue which no one seems to get, but me!
    To give some background info:
    - Using latest version of iTunes (this problem has occured in older versions as well)
    - Using a 4G Nano (also happened when using a 2G Nano)
    - Windows 7 x64 (although also happened when I was running Windows XP)
    - All tracks are correctly tagged using: Artists / Track / Album / Track # / Album Artist / CD # fields
    - MP3 files are saved in the format of: Artist - Album\track number - Artist - Track.mp3
    When I import my albums, the track names appear with the artist names in front of them. However, if i right click on a track and select "get info", then close the window, it then magically corrects itself, and removes the artist name from the track name.
    Here's a screenshot to illustrate what I mean:
    In the screenhot above, the two highlighed files are files which i've right clicked and chosen "show info" on. As you can see, the track names are now "correct" and don't have the artist name in front of them.
    Here is an example of the info on one of the files, to show that they are tagged correctly:
    It seems like a minor issue, but it's actually pretty annoying, as if I load up an album on my Nano, the track listing will look something like:
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    Florence + The Machi...
    And seeing as it doesn't scroll those titles... it's pretty useless!
    One way i've found to "fix" the issue, is to select my entire library, choose "show info" then change something minor (e.g. volume adjust). Then, once it goes through my library, it fixes all the track names as above. I don't really want to have to do this every time I import new albums into my library though, as this takes ages!
    I'd appreciate it if anyone could maybe explain what's going on and if there is a proper fix?
    Thanks!

  • Very Strange UDP Behaviour

    I've been experiencing some very weird behaviour regarding UDP packets. I understand the nature of the problem but I am confused as to what could be causing it. I know that there are a lot of intelligent people on this board so I'm hoping someone might have an idea.
    To start with my server receives duplicate packets A LOT. Basically my server is transmitting live voice audio but in order to penetrate picky NAT networks I have each of the clients send a UDP handshake (a single packet) to the server in order. If they don't receive an acknowledgement from the server in a certain amount of time they resend the packet. The server compares the packet with any that it had previously received and ensures that it is from a new location (that it is not a duplicate). Ok so one would think that there would be no problems right?
    Well I discovered a real oddity upon shutting down the server, closing all of the ports and closing all of the clients, then restarting it 1 hour later with only 1 client connecting. When the server is waiting for a handshake from the 1 and only client it gets an extra packet leftover from the previous session that took place over 1 hour ago. It is from a client that had been closed down and had all of its sockets closed and hadn't sent a packet to this port in over 1 hour (this much I am sure of). The server doesn't know that it is a duplicate packet because it only has listings of previously received packet addresses from the time that it has been started up, and this is a packet that had somehow been leftover from a session from over 1 hour ago. Why would a leftover UDP packet be lingering around the network and get received so long after it was sent?
    I appreciate any input you can give, even if they're just half formed thoughts. I'm really stumped on this one.

    Without knowing the code, can't say for sure, but it sounds like the buffer was never cleared on your server.
    Typically, a client does not send data over the network until a buffer is full - then it sends the entire buffer. The server typically won't read (input.isReady() should return false) until it's receieve buffer is full.
    However, if you kill the server/client processes and restart them - it normally would clear out the buffers - as java does automatic GC pickup.

  • Very strange cookie behaviour!

    I have the following (standard) portalserver and gateway setup:
    CLIENT -- IPLANET GW (gateway.domain.com) -- SAPPORTAL (sapportal.domain.com) / IPLANET PS (portalserver.domain.com)
    When I load the url https://gateway.domain.com/http://sapportal.domain.com:1081/scripts/wgate/webgui/! the browser displays a basic html form.
    Normal behaviour of this url - without - using the gateway is that two cookies are set:
    Name: ~session
    Domain: domain.com
    Path: /scripts/wgate/webgui16d7229a/
    Data: DEV:sapportal:0000.0186.cc6fc07f
    Name: ~http_content_charset
    Domain: sapportal.domain.com
    Path: /scripts/wgate/webgui16d7229a/
    Data: iso-8859-1
    Through the gateway, cookie behaviour varies depending on chosen settings, but any which way.... fails to submit the form successfully (I get an error returned by the sapportal stating "No session available.. etc.").
    The first cookie seems correct (exactly the same). These are my test results for the second cookie, with various settings:
    SCENARIO A
    HTTPD Proxy: OFF
    Non Portal Cookie Management: ON
    Result: When loading the form NO cookie is set from sapportal.domain.com, AFTER submit form IT DOES set a cookie, with the following data:
    Name: %2Fscripts%2Fwgate%2Fwebgui47e0467c%2Fsapportal.domain.com_~http_content_charset
    Domain: domain.com
    Path: /
    Data: iso-8859-1|sapportal.domain.com|/scripts/wgate/webgui47e0467c/|iplanet
    SCENARIO B
    HTTPD Proxy: OFF
    Non Portal Cookie Management: OFF
    Result: When loading the form IT DOES set a cookie by sapportal.domain.com, AFTER submit form NO cookie is set. When loading the form the following data is set:
    Name: ~http_content_charset
    Domain: domain.com
    Path: /scripts/wgate/webgui47e04937/
    Data: iso-8859-1
    SCENARIO C
    HTTPD Proxy: ON
    Non Portal Cookie Management: OFF
    Result: When loading the form IT DOES set a cookie by sapportal.domain.com, AFTER submit form NO cookie is set. When loading the form the following data data is set:
    Name: ~http_content_charset
    Domain: gateway.domain.com
    Path: /scripts/wgate/webgui47e04937/
    Data: iso-8859-1
    SCENARIO D
    HTTPD Proxy: ON
    Non Portal Cookie Management: ON
    Result: When loading the form NO cookie is set by sapportal.domain.com, AFTER submit form IT DOES set a cookie, with the following data:
    Name: %2Fscripts%2Fwgate%2Fwebgui47e0467c%2Fportalserver.domain.com_~http_content_charset
    Domain: domain.com
    Path: /
    Data: iso-8859-1|portalserver.domain.com|/scripts/wgate/webgui47e0467c/|iplanet
    Ok, so this is a lot of information, but please bare with me. What I noticed is this:
    1. Depending on chosesn settings, sometimes cookies are set upon loading of form (as they should be), sometimes afer submission of the form. Why??
    2. As I need to forward cookies in the chain from sapportal to client (through gateway) it's desired to turn ON non portal server cookie management. But why does this setting result in the cookie begin set AFTER submission of the form as turning the setting OFF doesn't?
    3. Turning the proxy on/off does not affect the behaviour mentioned in items 1 and 2, however: When proxy is turned OFF (scenario A), the host/domain is set correctly to sapportal.domain.com, as when the proxy is turned ON (scenario D) it states portalserver.domain.com. This is the name of my iplanet portalsever, which I got nothing to do with???? Why??
    Note. Of all scenario's the cookie that looks like he's got what it takes, is scenario A. But this cookie is set AFTER submitting the form, when the original situation (no gateway) does it upon loading of the form.... :S
    Does any of this makes sense? Am I missing something here?

    I haven't had any reply, but just to put things in a starker light:
    Where's the bug?
    ** In the javax.servlet.http.Cookie.getValue() method? or*
    ** In Firefox?*

  • Very Strange iTunes Error

    Hello everyone? This is my first post- glad to be amongst some knowledgeable people who might be able to help me!
    So everything is working fine on my computer- no issues at all. Then one day I go to open iTunes, and every time I do now, I get a "Not responding" error. It keeps telling me it's going to close. Okay, that's not weird- happens all the time. But when I decide to uninstall/reinstall iTunes is when I realize something is probably wrong.
    As the installation goes along fine, when it nears the end, I get an error that reads, "DifXInstall32.exe - Application Error" "The instruction at "0x7c91b21a" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written". Click OK to terminate, or click Cancel to debug". I tried to click Cancel, but still no luck.
    What the **** does this error mean? I even tried to uninstall all iTunes components and reinstall, but still no luck..... help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    OK if it isn't simple blocking by security software, I don't think I can help much.
    Is there any more information in the error message? May be a further info button?
    difxinstall32.exe appears to be involved with the installation of drivers:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/DIFxFAQ.mspx
    I think it is involved with the installation of the Gear drivers for burning. You could try downloading the gear drivers from the gear site. Then see what happens if you try to install them yourself:

  • Very strange iTunes behavior, please help!

    Every once in a while, I will notice a song in my library that has a time listed that I know is shorter than the song's actual length (for example, a song I know to be 5 minutes+ will be listed in the library as 1:37). When I play the song, the time adjusts to the proper time, so that is not the problem. However, if I sync my iPod, iTunes will only sync the time listed (1:37 in the example) to the iPod! It seems to be 100% random in the songs it effects and time it changes it to. Please help me out!
    Edit: I also forgot to mention, it will make songs longer also, but that is not as much of a problem because it will go on the iPod, show the "longer" time and then just go to the next track once the actual music is over

  • Very strange JTextPane behaviour

    Hi everybody,
    it would be great if someone could help me. The problem I'm facing is the following: I have a small dialog with three tabs. On the third tab there is a JTextPane to receive messages from my program. These messages are posted there by means of an abstract class that only has static methods, sort of a System.out.println() thing, only for my GUI. On the first tab there are some buttons. I have used these to post some messages into the JTextPane.
    Now this is what happens:
    If I click a button (post a message), and then switch to the third tab everything works fine. If I do the same again, it still works, e.g.:
    This is text..
    This is text..
    This is text..
    But if I first click the button a few times and THEN switch to the third tab, then I get the following result:
    This is text..This is text..This is text..
    This is text..This is text..
    This is text..
    I have no idea at all. I have looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Please help me.
    Greetings, Mitch

    The StyledDocument cl*** does not support an append method, which is quite sad. Here it is ... declare it in your JTextPane subclass
    public void appendDocument(String s,AttributeSet attr) {
    StyledDocument d = (StyledDocument) getDocument();
    try { d.insertString(d.getLength(),s,attr); }
    catch (BadLocationException e) {} // will never happen
    }Hope, this helps

  • Very strange display behaviour

    We have a Java application which is working fine in at least
    3 dozen windows machines (98/2000/XP). Today we installed it on
    a particuklar machine (W2K) and all we could see was a blank frame.
    When we dragged the frame, the components got painted. Every time
    a dialog opens, the same happens. Nothing is painted until the frame
    is dragged. There is nothing particular about the computer. It is your
    regular pentium IV running W2K.
    Anybody experienced this before??

    Hi,
    we seem to have a similar problem with repainting or refreshing a swing app. It runs fine on some machines and takes around 2 minutes(!) on other machines to refresh the main window after loading and working on some files. It doesn't matter on these machines wether you click or drag or resize the window, it just takes time to refresh. I have tried to add a bunch of invalidate() validate repaint, disabled the acceleration of the video cards, nothing... when I look at the task manager, the cpu does nothing during this 2 minutes.
    I am pulling my hair out and hope that the customer I have to see tomorrow has a 'compatible' PC. I am more than open to any suggestions...

  • Strange delete behaviour

    Hi,
    I'm currently facing a very strange Oracle behaviour. First of all, here are the settings:
    * 2 CPUs @ 1,6 GHz
    * Raid-0 with 2 x 160 GB
    * 3 GB RAM
    * Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    * Oracle Standard 9.2.0.7 using standard settings for the instance
    On the machine there is only one db (containing one instance) running, nothing else (beside the OS). The instance has 1GB shared memory assigned and contains about 5 GB of data distributed in approx. 750 tables.
    I'm trying to delete all non-master data from the instance via simple "delete <table> where id in (select id from some_table)" statements in a script. This works perfectly (approx. 2-3 million deleted records per hour), processor load is about 50%, the Windows system monitor shows few hundred kilobytes of data read/written per minute.
    But this changes after maybe one hour running time. CPU load sinks to 4-5% and data transfer rate rises to approx. 2GB(!!) per minute. I tried to abort the deleting process and rebuild all indexes as well statistics of the schema affected, but without any improvements. The only thing working at the moment is commiting the transaction and shutting down/restarting the instance. Afterwards everything is working fine (without index/statistic rebuilding!), but only for the time period mentioned before.
    Does anyone know what could be the source of this behaviour? Anyone got any hints what to change for a better performance? I already thought of bulk inserting the whole schema in a cloned schema without constraints, but 700 tables contain a lot of constraints and triggers, so a consistent insert would be a pain in the tush...
    Thanks in advance!

    No, the disks are internal as is the raid controller. And strangely enough, not writing causes a high data rate, but reading! I assume that if the caches are too small the DB starts reading the indexes time and again, but 2 GB of index reading per minute??? No way, I say. Few hundred kilobytes or even a few megabytes makes sense in my opinion, but not the amount mentioned...
    Truncating the tables would be a solution, but have you already tried to empty a 750 table schema with constraints and triggers implementing data inheritance? I have, and it didn't work, afterwards data consistency was not given any more...
    I have already tried to delete the data in batches, each followed by a commit operation. But this brought the same result after a while, which was reading GBs of data per minute...

    I have over 4000 songs in my Itunes library.  I have 25-30 playlists set up.  I just did a sync on my daugthers itouch and 85% of my playlists dissappeared.  i rebooted my pc....playlists are still not there. The songs are still in my library.   Very strange.  Any Advice appreciated

    Thanks, Michael.  Itunes Match is not enabled on my daughter's Itouch.  I have subscribed to it and have used the service to back up my song purchases.  I merely did a sync via USB (as normal) to her Itouch.  The sync wiped out 85% of the playlists that were on my home computer for the last seveal years.  I have updated her itouch multiple times - both before and after I had subscribed to iTunes Match.  After the last sync to her iTouch, the playlists just disappeared.   My home computer is the main device I use to manage my Itunes library and my playlists.  I am not sure what happened?
    BTW - how are you affiliated with Apple?  Are you?  I feel like I have explained the issue pretty clearly, but your responses seem to focus on her iTouch and not my computer, where the playlists are managed.  I want to know how to get the playlists back on my computer.
    Thanks for your help.  Rob

  • Very very strange issue: no more activation possible (iTunes 8.2.1 on a G3)

    At first, i came back to iTunes 8.2.1 because using 9.1 is no fun on a G3 PowerBook (the loudness adjustment makes the computer unusable for hours, then the vents roar and the machine crashes!).
    OK, because i still wanted to remote the G3 with my iPod touch, i got iTunes 8.2.1 wich runs very good on such an old computer. I am pretty shure that i already had this version on this computer, because i made almost every update... I use this computer just for listening Music! This Computer was activated all the time and with all Versions of iTunes - from 4.0 to 9.0 !!!!
    What happens now is very VERY strange and i am loosing my mind. The apple support can't help me (they also resetted all my activations).
    It sounds simple, but i am no more able to activate this iTunes!!! Everything is typed well, but no chance. It says everytime that the name or password is wrong. I also can't activate Genius!
    I promise, tried everything: my last attempt was to make a complete Reset of the machine (i erased the whole disk and installed everything(!!!!!) from scratch!)
    But with no luck - this machine will not let me f*/("&§ng connect to my account were i payed lots of euros for my music!!!!!!!
    This is in fact the strangest thing that i ever gone through on computers (and i've seen lots of strange things, believe me!)
    I hope that somehone could give me a hint...

    I actually found the window hiding at the bottom of my screen, being covered by my dock, and was able to drag it up.
    You can also go into System Preferences, then dock and then move your dock to the left or right to find the window.

  • Populate List from Database (Very Strange Behaviour)

    Dear Fellows,
    I have developed a from which has two lists One for Major (say) and Other for Minor (say), thesr minors are based on the value of Major.
    Now I have developed this system on Windows XP Professional, Developer/2000 6i and Oracle 8i (release 8.1.7).
    Major list is populated from database and it shows all major values now using 'when_list_change' trigger the minor list is populated from the database based on the value of major list. Interestingly enough it is working fine without any problem.
    Now I have deployed the software to Windows 2000 Professional/Server (tried on both), Developer/2000 6i and Oracle 8.0.5, but strangly the lists are not working now. First list (major) is still working but the other dependent lists are not working.
    Another strange thing is that it populate the second list for one particular value (only at times).
    The logic is that I have used a program unit to which i am passing 'list element' and 'query' and call it for each list in the when-list-change trigge.
    Now its a very strange behaviour, I don't know what to do?
    Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.
    regards.

    2 records in Q2
    and 1 record in Q3 for each record in Q2
    Q1 record
    Q2 record A
    Q3 record AA
    Q2 record B
    Q3 record BC
    The results conforms to the expected output.
    For another record in Q1 the output should be
    2 records in Q2
    and 2 records in Q3 for each record in Q2
    Q1 record
    Q2 record A
    Q3 record AA
    Q3 record AB
    Q2 record B
    Q3 record BC
    Q3 record BD
    In stead of the expected output, the result shows
    Q1 record
    Q2 record A
    Q3 record AA
    Q3 record AB
    Q2 record B
    Q3 record AB
    For another record in Q1 the output should be
    5 records in Q2
    and 2 records in Q3 for each record in Q2
    Q1 record
    Q2 record A
    Q3 record AA
    Q3 record AB
    Q2 record B
    Q3 record BC
    Q3 record BD
    Q2 record C
    Q3 record CE
    Q3 record CF
    Q2 record D
    Q3 record DG
    Q3 record DH
    Q2 record E
    Q3 record EI
    Q3 record EJ
    In stead of the expected output, the result shows
    Q1 record
    Q2 record A
    Q3 record AA
    Q3 record AB
    Q2 record B
    Q3 record BC
    Q3 record BD
    Q2 record C
    Q3 record CE
    Q3 record CF
    Q2 record D
    Q3 record DG
    Q3 record DH
    Q2 record E
    Q3 record DH
    So for the last record of Q2 I don't get the appropriate records from Q3 when there are multiple records to be shown, but only the last record which belongs to the previous Q2
    What is going on?
    Please help me out...
    Kind regards,
