Why are my iTunes sections broken?

As you can see in the picture, the sections are mislabeld and there are random strings rather that actual names. For instance, Music is listed as TV Shows in the left sidebar. Does anyone now the issue? The window ui buttons are also missing, and any popup windows have the wrong titles. I'm running the latest version of iTunes on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. There were no notable console logs on itunes startup.

I do not know how Mac OS X handles pipes.
I know that Tru64 UNIX used local network sockets. That means it acquired kernel buffers from the networking packet pool.
Again, I do not know what Mac OS X uses as the underlying layer in the kernel.
But I think it is a similar resource restriction in the kernel that is affecting your pipes. I'm guessing maybe GitX was doing something that needed the same kernel buffer resource, and as a result your pipes are starved for buffers.
I know that is a wishy-washy explanation.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

Why are my iTunes and iPhoto crashing every time I try to open them?

Why are my iphoto and itunes crashing every time I open them? This is a new problem on my Mac Mini. Have the latest software on my Mac Mini and the latest iLife sotware. My mac mini is about 5 years old, always kept up to date.

Hello Majorie,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Why are my itunes albums not on my iphone?

I recently downloaded the new iOS5 and put all of my songs back on itunes, but on my iphone 4 there are no albums. The songs are there, the playlists are there, but when I touch the albums tab, it says "No Music". Why can't I listen to songs by album?

Is the search field below the Media Browser cleared?
Where is your iTunes library stored?
Are the songs local on your computer or only in iCloud?

Why are My iTunes Downloads so Slow?

I have a 30 Mbps internet connection. When I run a speed test against my connection I almost always hit 30 Mbps. However, when I download podcasts and other files from iTunes my download speeds max out at just over 7 Mbps. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and everything checked out fine. Any ideas on why I getting such a slow download speed?

Same experience here with anything being downloaded from Apple! For at least the last 5-6 months we have gone from very fast down loads from Apple Software Update Servers which were humming at around a Megabyte to 1.5 MB a second for the better part of the last DECADE! Which was fantastic and essential for upgrading dozens of computers on the many networks we manage. Now every single network for the last 5-6 months is only getting fractions of theses throughputs. Down to 30-80 KBs (Per Machine) which is a nightmare. It makes no difference geographically in Sydney or which Service provider. We have called the service providers and they have tested the pipe to Apples servers and they get the same results. We were comfortably getting 1GB downloads with in 20-40 minutes per machine with up to 5 or six machines on an ADSL 2+ connection at a time... easily, now its taking 3-4 hours to get a gigabyte per machine with only 2 or 3 computers at a time.
Its a nightmare and yes we use an in-house OSX Servers SUS and down load the big updates and distribute them internally but there are now so many different updates required for different machines its difficult to do this and we just upgraded 2 computers to Lion and they wanted to down load over 2.5GB in updates each with out the system software updates which we had previously downloaded. SUS on each computer was indicating just under 24 hours to down load 2.5 GB from Apple. We were able to down load this with in an hour previously.
Its become a nightmare harking back to the performance we were getting from the internet in the Nineties. It is suspected that since Apple removed their mirrors from around the world we all have to go to the States to get our Software, iOs and iTunes updates and Apples growth is impacting on their ability so serve up the bandwidth with everybody downloading ridiculously large 3.5 GB Lion installers.
Interestingly Microsoft servers are dishing up the same poor bandwidth performance as Apple yet Google is the same its always been at around 800-1MB a second and many other big companies blow the Apple servers out of the water on the same networks.
Something has to be done about this as our clients are beginning to complain seriously about it as its costing significantly more to run an Apple Network.
And no one from Apple wants to talk about it. And this post will most likely self destruct once Apple reads it!

Why are my iTunes file listings inconsistent?

As a new Apple user I have been ripping my CDs to my Macbook's hard drive, in order to transfer to my music player and create my own compilation CDs etc, but am finding the album and track listing inconsistent. When bluetoothing files to my mobile phone I found the file listings all over the place. For example I ripped the 4 disc anniversary set of John Barry's film music and when looking for the files found discs 2 and 3 listed under John Barry and, after a long hunt, discs 1 and 4 under the 'Compilations' sub heading. All the title information is the same and in the same order and I can find no reason for the discrepancy. The listings in iTunes are fine it's just the file transfer boxes. I have also experienced the same problem with other artists where their greatest hits albums have, for inexplicable reasons, also been arbitrarily placed in the 'Compilatons' file despite clear titling e.g. Janis Ian's- Souvenirs placed under 'Compilations' NOT Janis Ian. Any ideas out there in etherland?

Dear Chris CA,
Many thanks for the swift reply and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. The 'File transfer boxes', apologies for that, I let my computer illiteracy run away with me. I suppose they are the windows found when you click on 'bluetooth' at the top of your screen then 'Send File-Music-iTunes-iTunes Music-Artist-Album-Track' to make a selection for a music file to be bluetoothed to a mobile device.
I take on board your point about compilations, but it still does not explain why a four disc set from a single album by the same artist would find discs 1 and 4 under the artist's name (John Barry) and discs 2 and 3 under Compilations. I will, however, try to follow your advice when the Christmas rush is over.
I must take issue on the 'Compilations' comment though. I know there are those amongst us, I can be one myself, who are a tad anal-retentive, over protective or plain nuts when it comes to their music collection and filing systems (people have been known to file by date, artist and even, believe it or not, autobiographically), but I've found nobody who places single artist Definitive, Greatest Hits or 'B' Sides collections under compilations. They're always listed by artist because using any other system leads us to chaos and the collapse of the world as we know it. Imagine hunting through racks of albums of N.O.W. CDs (1 to infinity) to try and find that Olivia Newton-John Greatest Hits!!! Having to scroll through several thousand Amazon compilation pages to get to 'The Best Of Captain Beefheart'. My friend the system is flawed and I am saddened that Apple have let me down in this way when Windows, of which I am now no friend (that's a different story), have this problem licked!!!
Kind regards,

Why are animated GIFs still broken?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1229922 <-- this
'nuff said, this has been a problem ever since Preview lost its ability to animate GIFs. It may be a WebKit problem (i.e. yeah, Apple, just go ahead and let yourself off the hook...right), but regardless, how come it has not been addressed sooner? Safari chokes after about 4 frames of animation; if the GIF loops, it starts over fresh, but it chokes again.
I am using 10.5.8, but I am aware this is still a problem for all 10.6 OSes and iOSes. I don't know about Safari for Windows; not relevant at the moment.
Why is this still a problem after three-and-a-half years of Safari development have passed?

Well, here are the issues I have run into.
1) Gifs load half way and then animate on the base but not on the top.
2) Gifs animate waaaaaaay too fast.
I have found no solution for the 1st issue, and it does not always occur.
As for the second one it has to do with browsers all reading the "0 delay" setting of the animation at uniquee speeds. Most round it to 10/100th of a sec, while Safari loads it at 3/100th resulting in a faster images, but a non-standard speed. Which ***** since I am running animations that follow using a set time out only to have safari throw everything off. I think one other browser runs at something like 6/100ths so Safari is not the only one. Faster could be nice if they all got on the same page, but as they are it is pointless. Pretty much meaning if you want an animated gif you have to avoid the "0 delay setting at all costs, and pretty much anything under 1/10th because it will not display the same in many browsers. It could be this fast speed in Safari that is causing the loading and instability issues with sime.

Why are my text boxes broken up in Illustrator CS6?

I have an iMac at work with Mountain Lion and Ilustrator CS6, I have files that I have created with Illustrator from scratch but when I bring them home and open them on my iMac at home with the same system the text boxes are broken into individual text boxes for each line of text. What is going on. Also everything in the document is a Clipping Path inside the document bound box.

Danher,
Are you sure it is the same AI version?

Why are my iTunes songs switched around?

Hi, why is my music messed up in my iTunes??? I play one song and even though it has the right album cover and the right name of the song I want to listen to it plays a completely different song! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!?! I also have to have wifi now? ***!!!!
FIX THIS NOW!!

Sorry for the delay in responding as I missed your 7/29 post.
I do have a partitioned hard drive and that could be part of the problem. I moved my music files to the D drive from the C drive as my C drive was filling up and I thought this might be an easer solution since I have tons of movies and my library is large.
I don't know how to determine the encryption type. The "kind" on a song that stops playing is "purchased AAC audio file."
Now, my iTunes has lost all my files and playlist's and I will have to rebuild everything.
Do you think the issue could be the partitioned hard drive?

Why are my iTunes purchases only partially downloading?

Hello and thanks for the help. I've purchased multiple songs and albums from iTunes. Recently, I've downloaded 2 songs from same artist, different albums, and only received a partial download (approximately 17 mins of a 50 min song). My library is showing that the entire song has dowloaded but stops at the partial minute mark. How do I access and/or re-dowload entire song?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

I don't understand the ITunes. I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display. When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize. I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device. Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

Why are my iTunes movies subtitled in Spanish?

I'm not sure if it's an iTunes issue or iPad (the device upon which I watch my movies), but when I watch a movie and there's the occasional subtitle, it's always in Spanish. I can't figure out how to change this. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is something that's been an issue for many of us. The solution that works for me (some of the time) is to turn the subtitles on and make them US: English. With some movies it will turn off the subtitles altogether, as weird as it sounds. After the movie plays for a while I can sometimes turn the subtitles off and all will be fine. It's a problem with the movie itself, not with your device. Apple is aware, from what I read online, but they don't have a fix or an explanation for it.
