Yahoo Music Engine and Itunes Conflict

I downloaded the Yahoo Music Engine and subscribed to Yahoo Unlimited. It works great, until I go to run itunes again. Something happens where and artist like "The Cars" will be renamed "Cars, The" when a song is played. It does this just for a song that has been played and itunes then sees it as a new artist. So if I play an album the first song is then switched around and it stops playing, because itunes then sees it as the only song the artist has. The only way I have seen to fix it is to reinstall itunes. I don't want to switch all my artists to the "cars, the" format either. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions

On the contrary. I would stick with just Yahoo. After reading dozens of threads in various forums, Yahoo has had the most success with users getting their players working. Yahoo has also updated their software, which no other subscription service has done as yet. And Yahoo is also the cheapest so far, I'm not sure what MusicMatch is charging tho....
So far i've only seen problems with Music Match's subscription service.

Yahoo Music Engine and Musicma

I was just wondering if anybody has had a problem with Musicmatch after installing the beta of the Yahoo Music Engine. I installed the engine yesterday to try it with my Creative Zen Micro and have been having problems Musicmatch ever since. Basically Musicmatch either will not start or will freeze after a period of time. I apologize if this is not an appropriate group for this question. So far I have not been able to find an other group to post this question. Thanks for any help or advice.

Yahoo Music Engine can't recognize Zen Mi

Is there any definiti've guide out there to get the Zen micro working with the Yahoo subscription service? When I plug in my Zen, WinXP recognizes it and asks me what I want to do (i.e. synch, or take no action), but neither the WMP software nor Yahoo music engine recognizes the Zen. I have the 2.0.05 firmware on the Zen, and have installed both of the following:
Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime update, WindowsMedia-KB8922-x86 package
</LI>
Windows Media Player hotfix WindowsMedia0-KB902344-x86-INTL.exe</LI>
...but still no luck.
The Creative "plays for sure page" (http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRV...e.com,case=793) says to make sure that WMP is version 0.00.00.3802 or later, but it doesn't say how to get that version. Mine is 0.00.00.3646.

Try this:
Open up your registry (Start, run, regedit)
Browse to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
Right click on this folder
Select Permissions
Click Everyone
Click on the Allow box besides Full Control
Click OK
Restart your pc just to be sure that the settings are saved
Connect your player and hopefully it will work...

Moving purchased music from Yahoo Music Jukebox to Itunes...

Hi,
Is there a way to drag and drop music purchased from Yahoo Music Jukebox to Itunes purchased music too? I bought one album for an artist on Yahoo and another album for the same artist on Itunes. I want to move the music so I can create a cd. Can I do this? Thanks.
Debbie

Sorry but no, that's probably not possible. Only iTunes can burn tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store if they're copy protected, and then they can only be burned to an audio CD and you won't get 33 tracks on a single audio CD. Only if the tracks are iTunes Plus and hence not protected could they be converted to a format the Yahoo jukebox would accept (probably MP3).

Zen Micro - Yahoo Music Engine says no license to x

Here's my problem and what the Yahoo Music Engine FAQ says (please see my comments below):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Get an Error Saying My Songs Are Not Licensed for Transfer When I Try to Transfer to a Portable Device. What Do I Do?
If you see an error indicating your songs may not be licensed for transfer:
This might be an issue with Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription music if you are trying to transfer subscription music. Your subscription music licenses are renewed automatically, but in some cases, you may need to manually renew them. This might occur if you have not logged on for several weeks. If you have an up-to-date subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited and you see an error message when trying to transfer subscription music to a device, or your songs on the device will not play, try the following:
Sign in to Yahoo! Music Unlimited. Be sure you're online.
Download a Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription song, or play a previously downloaded subscription song from My Music while online.
Reconnect your portable device. When the name shows up in the left pane, your device should now be updated. </LI>
This is driving me crazy.
Following the FAQ advice does not always work.
)Sometimes you can download the song to YME My Music and xfer directly to the Zen.
2) Sometimes after the download you can play any downloaded song from YME My Music before the xfer to Zen will work.
3) Sometimes after the download have to play the just downloaded song from the YME My Music before you can xfer that song to the Zen Micro.
Can anyone provide insight?
(Sorry if this is not exactly a Creative Zen issue.)
Thanks.


It isn't strictly related to our players, but I'm sure there are other people on the board that use the same service, so they might be able to help.
But it might be a good idea to send a mail to Yahoo aswell, to see what they advise.

HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Put all of the music on the computer(s) to which you sync, then sync to your idevices

HT5957 I just updated my iphone 4 to the iOS7.0.2 and now I can't get the phone to work its frozen on a screen that shows a blue music button and Itunes below it then below that an arrow pointing upward and below that a pic of my cable charger. Any help?

If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost. Sorry, that's just too bad. But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future.

Trying to access Music Store and iTunes shuts down...

I've been trying to open the Music Store for days with no luck. I get an error message "The exception Privileged instruction 0xc0000096 occurred in the application at location 0x1003527a" and when I click "ok" iTunes closes abruptly. Sometimes I don't even get the error message and iTunes just closes during the "Accessing Music Store" screen. This is very frustrating as I have done all the posted fixes from Apple. (disabled Norton, unistalled/reinstalled iTunes 6) It's not my ISP because another computer can access it from my wireless network. This came on suddenly with no apparent changes in my hardware/software configuration.(been working fine for 1 year)
Please Help!

hiya!
you've got a standard 32-bit version. the x64 version has an "x64" mentioned in that screen. for a little more info on that, see:
http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4040
i was checking, because the error message you were getting was very similar to one folks can get if they've got a problem with their QuickTime on an x64 PC. itunes needs a functioning QT to work correctly, and a broken QT can cause problems with viewing the Music Store too.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

IOS music library and iTunes syncing problems

Hello,
Just wondering if the issues that have been bothering me for some time and with multiple recent iOS and iTunes versions are going to get fixed in the future?
Adding or removing music manually or automatically between iTunes and the iOS has resulted in the corruption of the music library on the iOS device several times and the solution to fix the problem is always to empty the device and to start over. For example today I noticed that the album art had disappeared from my music (a known issue) and I searched the forums for a solution. Well the solution is to empty all of the music from the device and upload it back again and the album art will be back. Great! Except the music got deleted and still the space in use is showing "other usage" for the exact size of my deleted music library. If I try to add some music it adds to the space of the mysterious occupied space and the device is soon full. Time to start from scratch again. The syncing is broken and the software is buggy and I'd like it to work flawlessly instead of starting from scratch every time I'm making any minor changes to my music library. I think the reliability of the software and the basic functions is more important than the ability for the phone to ring in the computer whenever I get a call. Which is pretty amazing in someone else's opinion I'm sure.
Oh yes and the iPad is not uploading updated apps to the iTunes automatically which it did some software versions ago (a known issue). This is annoying.

Schpoiler,
I had the very same problem with you. I think the main reason for this happening is purchasing and downloading content with your phone. I don't know how it happens though, this seems the problem with me.
What I did is, I basically erased all content and settings from my iPhone and used my backup in my mac to install everything back again. After that, the "other usage" got really small in size and as I deleted all the songs by using syncing, I saw that music occupied no space in my phone. Then, I synchronized my music back again and now everything works just fine.

Music disappeared and ITunes freezes when re-syncing: Help!

Yesterday all my music, photos, and video vanished from my 60 gb iPod. Naturally I tried to re-sync, but ITunes freezes every time I plug it in and immediately unfreezes when I unplug. The error message says "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found." I went into preferences and checked "prevent devices from syncing automatically," but the iPod still tries to sync when I plug it in and it is impossible for me to adjust any settings within ITunes.
I tried the check disk utility and my computer locks up. I also tried the manual reset, which seems to work, but I can't get the Disk Mode to work properly. When I looked in my iPod utilities, it said that iPod was almost full, yet I can't find any music or playlists despite being able to navigate the menus.
Since the iPod itself seems to be working, I'd hate to have to junk this because some settings can't be adjusted. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to stop it from continuously rebooting. Then again attempt to restore the iPod through iTunes. Otherwise it may be the signs of a failing hard drive.
I would maybe check up on taking advantage of the warranty you have on it.

TVU and iTunes Conflict

iTunes and TVU have severe conflict issues. anytime TVU is open, even if it is not running, iTunes songs or videos will skip terribly.

Hi Mlena,
Even i have both Ovi Suite and itunes installed in my Windows 7 desktop. I am able to run both the softwares simultaneoulsly.
Looks like the issue is specific to your PC. You could try uninstalling both itunes and Ovi Suite and install one by one both again.
For OVi Suite you need to follow the below steps.
Uninstall the following Programs, if any, from Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Also a screen-shot of the error will help
Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
Nokia Ovi Suite
PC Connectivity Solution
Later download and install the latest OVi Suite from the following location.
http://www.ovi.com/suite
After OVi suite installation , restart the PC then install the itunes.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
If still issue persists, Please provide your Mobile details (*#0000#) and your PC details.
Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...
Regards,
Diwa

Why does my HP laptop download all my music windows media player, HP connected music player, and itunes, when I only open it in itunes?

My HP lap top downloads all my music to the windows media player, my itunes, as well as HP connected. Is this taking up 3 times the space on my computer as it would if it only just used one? I only want music on my itunes, but it puts it in all 3.

when I go to the youtube, the WMP pauses the music by itself, and when I close the youtube, the WMP resumes the music byt itself!

Music disappeared and itunes wont work!!

Hi,
My ipod today decided not to allow me to listen to any music and reckon that there are no music files. Fair enough. But when I go to put the music back on using itunes, itunes freezes and does nothing!
I checked the about section on the ipod and it says 60 odd gig is used but instead of being the usual mix of music pictures and video, it shows completely as other!
Any help?

Copying Music Files and iTunes Playlists Onto New Computer

I just received my new MacBook Pro and am going to need to copy my music files, iTunes playlists, etc. from my existing PC to my new MacBook Pro. Can anyone recommend some good/definitive articles or posts on how to do this seamlessly?
One thing I should note is that while I keep a lot of my music in my iTunes folder, I also keep a lot of it in other folders on my hard drive, and I'd strongly prefer to maintain this file organization. I'm hoping this won't cause any issues with the transition. I also really, really, really hope I'm able to cleanly transition my playlists without having to manually recreate anything, as I have hundreds of playlists that I've spent literally thousands of hours curating!
Thanks in advance,
Alex

if i were you, i would move my complete library to the Mac first. you can easily move content to different locations later on. please post back if you want to know more.
my reasons are these:
1) as the articles i linked above outline, it is not as simple as +drag & drop+ if you want to retain playlists, ratings, etc. when making the move from winsloth to Mac. check this thread for possible problems: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11495714#11495714.
2) it is generally better to let iTunes do the moving of files. if you do his manually, chances are iTunes will lose track of their location.
well, you might want to wait and see if another user comes up with a brighter idea
good luck !
