Why do eg. films, when loaded onto iTunes 9 become twice as long?
When I load videos such as films and some music videos, they become twice as long on iTunes 9. However, the actual file is the same length. This did not happen in iTunes 8.
I think this only happens with files loaded over a certain length (as this mostly happens with films).
Is this a bug?
I dislike every iteration of iTunes more & more, in fact almost every iteration of any Apple App is worse than the one before, it's also sad that Apple is evermore closing off the really good 3rd party Apps, I use Audion since Apple bout SoundHam Mp & totally ruinrd it...

As far as backups go, I gave up on the sillyTime Machine, it seemeed to do it's stuff, but I could never get a good restore!
Every other Backup App I have, (about a dozen or more), always work.
Never bought anything on iTunes, nor am I likely ever to do so.
It's not even my birthday, but your post now has ne listening to Animals by Pink Floyd for the 1st time in years!
Back to your losses, How sure are you the of the Disk integrity?
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. (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.)

I have loaded elements 3, from disk, on my mac desktop, when loading onto my macbook i get a message "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Why?
Thank you for your fast reply!
Sorry, I am not savvy enough to know what a serial is! Guess that means stealing it. No, that is not me.
Hmm...
I thought sure it was free with the computer, along with a whole package of other stuff. It was a sale/special. Everything else still works, except the Photoshop. I bought the Mac new at the Mac store in Marin County...
Maybe it came with the printer I bought too...? Who knows now.
The computer is several years old (copyright 1983) and I had money then! LOL! It's the economy, my dear!
Do not understand 'software'... I just use the computer. I told you I am a technophobe!
You must be young: I am very old, and did not grow up with computers.
But now from your reply, I think it must have been a free sample, or whatever... or I am confused!
I have IPhoto... that must be what came free with the Mac. But it doesn't work either. I get a message: need to upgrade, but then it says it is not responding...
Anyway, thanks again!
P.S. As I said, I had everything stolen, and do not have any registration info.
But I appreciate your reply. -

Why won't my Playlist load onto my iPod Nano
Hi, I have been given a 1GB iPod nano as a present but being computer iliterate cannot figure out how to put music from iTunes on the iPod. I have, using CD's & some songs from iTunes Stores built a playlist of my favourite tracks. However, although my list has 95 songs on it, it will only load 22 of these onto my iPod. What am I doing wrong !! I am using iTunes 7.02 so have the most up-to-date software but don't know why I can't get the rest of my songs onto the iPod. If someone can tell me in english how to do this, I would be most grateful ! I have also tried deleting the songs from the iPod and starting again but iTunes won't allow me to delete these either! Thanks
Time Windows XPHi, thanks for you reply. I thyink I have included the info you wanted!
In iTunes under the import tab, it says:
On CD Insert: Ask to import CD
Import Using: AAC Encode
Setting: High Quality (128kbs)
Details: 64 kbps (mono)/128 kbps (stereo)
underneath this, the 1st 3 boxs are ticked.
When I right-click on some of the songs in itunes here is the response:
1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod (orignally on my old MP3 player):
Size 2.2MB / Format MPEG-1 , Layer 3
1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod from a CD:
Size 3.1MB / Kind AAC Audio File
I purchased 2 songs from iTunes - neither of which went onto my iPod, Here is the info for 1 of these:
Size 3.5MB / Kind Protected AAC audio file
1 of the songs that did not load onto my ipod from a CD:
Size 4.5MB / Kind AAC audio file (I copied 3 songs from this particular album and 1 went onto my iPod but this one and another did not.)
I never had this problem with my old MP3 Player. I presume there is a way around this with iTunes ?? Otherwise, will be reverting back to my old MP3 !

Why are the films so expensive on iTunes?
Why is the films so bloody expensive? I can't believe they want so much money for movies from iTunes.
I think is too much expensive as well. I do not know but i do not really think that movie developers control the prices. I think Apple control it. I see it fast same as video shops. They had not the prices from movie developers but they had their own prices (atleast in my country). But whatever, its not necessary to know who control the prices cause one (movie industry) or second (Apple) is stupid in this things.
About 10years back i was registrated in some movie shop i payed about 1$ for movie for a day. Now when i find the prices its on 2$. Apple rental is 5$. Sorry, but in poor countries they rather get the film somewhere on the internet.
If Apple reduce the prices i guess many people with Apple TV instead of get the film by non-legal way will rent the film for 1.5-2.5$. The movie developers, producers, actors, apple will get some money.
For example if any movie will be about 2$ for a day. I will rent film every day. In one year they will get about 500$ (if i will not rent every single day) from me only. Now they got 0$ for a year for me because i do not really want to pay 5$ cause its really too much. -
Embedded swf plays in preview mode but not when loaded onto site
http://delormdesigns.com/Oxen2008/2008Fair.html
I have created a swf by first creating an flv from an avi then publishing the swf in flash. I inserted into an html page and can see the video on preview. However, when I load the page and all of the assets onto the site, I get nothing.
I tried to view the swf directly, and it does not play. This may be an issue with how I converted the avi file or how I published the swf. I am starting in this forum just in case.
Thanks!Yes, I did exactly what you recommended. I swapped the swf with another, loaded the page, and tested it. It worked perfectly. So, even though the original swf worked fine during the preview test, there must be something about the file that does not work when loaded on the site.
I found an article about creating and inserting a flv file from an avi...that will get me 1/2 way there so I will be trying that. Perhaps there was a step in the avi to flv process that needs fixing...and then the swf creation would work.
I appreciate your responses!

If I have 96 GB in my iTunes folder, why is nothing appearing when I open iTunes?
When I open iTunes from the dock, I get a brand new looking iTunes. There is nothing in my iTunes library and no playlists in sight. Yet from the Finder I can see there are 96 GB worth of audios inside my iTunes folder.
I have been to the Genius Bar twice and followed their suggestions and both times I was unsuccessful.
My iTunes folder is confusing for reasons I won't go into here. It contains a bunch of iTunes library files as well as the following folders:
Album Artwork (which contains a Cache and Downloads folder - both of which are empty)
iTunes Media (which contains the following folders - Automatically Add to iTunes; Downloads; Mobile Applications; Movies; Music; Podcasts);
iTunes Music - empty
Previous iTunes Libraries (which contains a bunch of Library files from different dates)
I can see all my music in the Music folder within the iTunes Media folder.
Anyhow if there is anyone reading this that can help sort out this mess, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Cherylin

Why do I this message when trying to open itunes on my desktop computer "File itunes cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" How do I overcome this?
Hello johnc1936,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like we may need to recreate your iTunes Library.itl file. The following article outlines how to do so:

Where has all my music I loaded onto itunes gone?
I updated itunes to the latest version a while ago and it's very confusing to understand.
All of my music I've loaded previously has disappeared and only my purchased items show in my library (with the icloud button).
I previously had 717 songs in my library.
Now it's down to 184.
All my 717 songs are on my iphone & ipad... but they don't show up on my computer.
And when I plug in my iphone and synch everything some of my latest purchases don't transfer..
Can anyone please help me and tell me where i've gone wrong?
I want to listen to my new songs on my iphone but they dont transfer over :'(If you are signed in to iTunes 11 then an "empty" library lists your past purchases for you to stream or download.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Hello, does anyone have an answer to this problem ?
Hello there, popi41.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information for issues importing CD's with iTunes:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Import songs from CDs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12486
If you have trouble importing songs from an audio CD
If iTunes doesn’t recognize audio CDs or if you’re having trouble importing songs, check the following:
If iTunes doesn’t recognize an audio CD (it doesn’t appear in the iTunes window), quit iTunes, then open it again by double-clicking the app icon in the iTunes folder in the Program Files folder on your hard disk. Do not open iTunes using the shortcut on your desktop. If iTunes now recognizes the CD, delete the iTunes shortcut and create a new one.
Choose Edit > Preferences, and click Import Settings. If the “Use error correction when reading Audio CDs” checkbox is not selected, select it. If it’s already selected, deselect it.
If you’re having trouble importing songs, make sure you check your computer or drive manufacturer’s site for firmware updates and install any that are appropriate for your computer and CD or DVD drive.
Make sure you have the latest software updates for Windows or your CD or DVD drive. Check the Windows website and your computer or drive manufacturer’s site for updates. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video and sound cards.
If you have more than one CD or DVD drive, try using iTunes with each drive.
To see if iTunes can find any problems with your CD drive, choose Help > Run CD Diagnostics and choose DVD/CD Diagnostics. For help with understanding the diagnostics results and other CD troubleshooting information, see Additional troubleshooting tips for burning issues at the Apple Support website.
If it’s taking a long time to import a song (more than 10 minutes) from an audio CD, the CD may be dirty or scratched. Try cleaning the CD with a soft, lint-free cloth, and then importing the songs again
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice
Hey all.
I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

How do I get the RSS Feed to work when loading onto server other than .mac?
Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I am uploading a site created in iWeb on to a Media Temple which of course, disables many key functions in iWeb. One thing it supposedly doesn't disable though, is the RSS Feed, provided you input the proper URL when publishing the site. However, after nearly 20 tries with as many variations on the url as I could think of, nothing seems to work. Anyone have any insight? Many thanks in advance.
It takes two things...
1. Entering the correct base URL in the Publish to Folder window, and...
2. Uploading the correct files to your server
Number 1
When you select "Publish to Folder", there should be a little text field where you are asked to enter in a URL. What you need to enter here is the base URL for your site, and in most cases this is simply your domain name: http://www.yourdomain.com That's it. Nothing more. iWeb will then take this URL base and generate a functioning RSS feed URL.
Number2
When you select "Publish to Folder", you are asked to specify a folder INTO which iWeb will save the files necessary for the functioning of your site. You will need to upload only the CONTENTS of this specified folder, which includes only TWO items: an index.html file & your sitefolder. You must upload only these two items to your server WITHOUT the enclosing folder (the one you told iWeb to publish into.
If you satisfy the above two conditions (and only if you satisfy these two conditions), then you will end up with a functioning, automatically generated RSS feed from iWeb on your own server. There are other ways of achieving this endpoint (a functioning RSS feed), but this is the ONLY way to get iWeb to do all the work for you. -
Why can't I download songs from an external hard drive onto iTunes?
So I have an external hard drive with some songs on it that I wanted to get on iTunes so they can be synced to my iPod. I plugged my hard drive in and then went to iTunes where I clicked on "File" (in the top left corner) and scrolled down to "Add folder to Library". I then found my external hard drive and selected the albums/songs that I wanted.
They loaded onto iTunes just fine. Everything looked right and the songs were all on the list. I even managed to get album artwork on most of them.
Then I went to "sync iPod" and an alert message popped up saying "Some of your songs were not synced to your iPod because they could not be found." (Or something very similar to that)
So none of the songs made it onto my iPod and when I checked the Library list again, all of the songs I had just put on iTunes had exclamation points in front of them.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Sounds like you
1) added the songs to the itunes database, but did not copy the acutal files to the PC's internal HD
2) unplugged the exHD and now itunes doesn't know now to find them anymore
If you plug the exHD back in, and it has the same drive letter as it did when you added the songs to itunes, it should work.
