Why does iTunes 10.5.2 conflict with my wireless?

HI,
I've just upgraded to iTUnes 10.5.2. I have a PC with Windows XP. Prior to this upgrade i had v10.4 (ish) and iTunes worked fine with my PC. Now, as soon as I launch iTunes, my wireless stops working. I can see my wireless network at home but cannot connect to it. MY internet browsers are also unable to connect to the internet from the point I launch iTUnes. Also, once I shut down iTunes, the PC seems to slow down and a) an iTunes icon remains in my task bar, b) the task manager indicates iTUnes is still running, and c) I am unable to launch iTunes again.
is this an iTunes 10.5 issue or is this an install error. When I installed 10.5, I was unable simply to upgrade the older version to the newer one - I had to download the executable, save it to my PC and launch the executable to install the upgraded version of iTUnes. Does this suggest something has gone wrong?
If I have to remove and reinstall iTUnes, will I loose all my playlists and downloaded album covers etc?
It is very frustrating :-(
THanks for your help

I now have a similar problem< im using windows 7 with a 64 bit OS, I not only cannot update to the latest version of I Tunes but I also cannot uninstall the existing version, when I try to do either the following text comes up:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable, click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package I Tunes 64msi in the box below"
Please can anyone help me with this issue?

HT1926 Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Ipone or Ipad?

Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Iphone or Ipad?

It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work)

Why does Itunes sync my purchase transfers to the wrong hard drive?

I'm running windows 7 with a 64gb SSD boot drive and 1tb data drive. My boot drive is almost completely full. I installed itunes on my data drive and set the preferences to sync media to the data drive as well. I plug in my old ipod to tranfer purchases before an update. The tranfer never finished because it synced all of the data to my boot drive and now my boot drive is completely full and the data is nowhere to be found. I recently had the same problem with it syncing an iphone backup to the same drive, but I found a work around for that. Why does Itunes instist on loading stuff on the boot drive? How can I redirect it? This is simple preferences that should be available to change, but simply aren't.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Music tap, make sure there are no checks in the boxes labeled "Entire Music Library", & "Automatically fill free space with songs":

Why does iTunes think my iPad is a new one?

When I connect my otherwise happy iPad to iTunes, iTunes says "This computer has previously been synced with an iPad or another iOS device" and wants me either to "set up as new iPad" or "restore from the backup of <my iPad name>". Of course it's just the same iPad I've connected, so why does iTunes not recognise it as such?
This happened before, and I know if I select "Restore from the backup of <my iPad name>", it deletes and restores all the apps and media content, but in the process I lose all data e.g. progress in games, data and configurations entered into apps etc.
This is iTunes 10.2.2.12 on Win 7 64-bit, iPad 16GB with iOS 4.3.1.
Any suggestions what I can do? Even if I have to restore from backup, is there a way I can prevent this happening again?

I'm having same problem! I tried the trick of unplugging right after the sync begins and the only thing my iPad does is give me a sync failure message and restarts itself. I plug ipad back in and get same message??? I've emailed iTunes support and they have not been able to help. I tried all the standard stuff like de-authorizing/athorizing, checked that my iPad iOS is the latest version (which it is), latest version of iTunes installed (even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes). No matter what I try cannot get around this message. I too have tons of app settings/configurations that get lost if I go thru the restore option. I actually tried the restore option out of frustration, lost all of my configurations AND still get the same message - seems like my iPad is caught up in a loop no matter what I try. To make matters worse, my iTunes library got lost as all my songs are showing up with an '!' next to each song (meaning it cannot locate the file). I checked and they are truely missing so when I go to my purchased music all of my purchases show up (all 4000+ of them) however are all listed as 'Downloaded' in the right margin??? My true objective here is to be able to transfer my purchases on my iPad to my iTunes as my iPad is complete as far as all apps/recent purchases. HELP !!! Thanks

Why does iTunes fail to see that I am a customer

Why has it taken 20 days and iTunes still hasn'tfixed my account?
Why have I ended up with two iTunes account instead of just one?
Why are the people running the system so thick that the two accounts created god knows why both belong to the same person?
Why is the customer serviceso indifferent and off balance so much that it is barely service at all?
Why does iTunes not fix their system so that they deal with issues once, once only and move to the next customer thereby reducing everyones waiting time.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Have you ever actually bought anything from the Mac App Store? Have you created an iTunes account in the past? Do you have a bank card from a bank in the country where you live with a local billing address?

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed. Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
Really annoying.
If you find a fix please, please let me know, I have just been throwing hardware at it with no joy at all

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content on the TV programmes... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content, surely it will cost nothing to release both?

Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content?
It would be just as easy to release both a dubbed version and then a subtitled version.
I am a native english speaker but live in France. My father has just moved over to live with me in France and speaks very little French.
The price for a television series is very often more than a dvd box set but does not offer language options.
My French is passable but I would still prefer to hear the programme in English.
Using itunes uk is not an option as my cards are french or english with a french postal address.
The content has been adapted for the french site all i want is to access the original.
The series i have been trying to buy is HBOs 'boardwalk empire'.
The stupid thing is to please my father i would buy up most the HBO, BBC and Channel 4 content a cost of a couple of thousand euros.

Try giving Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback and also contact the Apple headquarters at http://www.apple.com/contact We are all fellow users and not Apple employees and often raise questions like yours ourselves. If enough make Apple aware of a market/need then something may be done about it.
France has come a very long way with regard to other languages. When I lived in France, mid-880s, there was an entire Ministry devoted to the purity of the French language...that was the time the PC came out. A TV news person was cashiered for using the term 'computer' on-air instead of the French created word 'ordinateur'. They took the language extremely seriously at that time. At least today there is recognition and even use of English by the masses

Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50). Everytime I try to sync my phone?

Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)". Everytime I try to sync my phone? I have another Iphone that syncs with the same itunes account and it's working fine.

What operating system do you have on your computer?

Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
"After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
Any thoughts, anyone?
