New playlist bug in iTunes 9.0.2.25? ...

I upgraded to iTunes 9.0.2.25 last night and all seemed well, however I left my iPod syncing and awoke to find most of the content had been removed. Like many people I use a number of Smart Playlists to organise my library and control what goes on my iPod. I have one main playlist (let's call it A) with all the stuff that I might put on my iPod, and another with all the stuff that I want to exclude for now (call this B). These are joined into a final playlist which is All in A but not in B. This scheme has worked well for quite some time, but with the new build this particular playlist is no longer displayed on the sync tab! If I remove the not in B condition the playlist appears once again. I can copy the resulting Smart Playlist into a static one and sync that, but that's hardly an ideal solution. The weird thing is that I have the same setup for three other playlists for my childrens' iPods which still show up on the sync tab. It's just mine that is mysteriously absent. I haven't had time to compare the playlists one by one to see if any others are missing, but has anyone else noticed playlists vanishing from their sync tabs or any insight as to what might trigger it?

Hi
Well i have read all the post on this forum that concerns genius and it working with no luck.

I am new to itune and i tried every solutions on this forum and i even turned off my firewall as suggested by someone on this forum I think he was a itune employee to boot???.
2)option: Would be to uninstall Itune all together and find a alternative player???.

Movies and TV shows won't play in ...

I've only noticed this recently, but whenever I try to play any TV show or Movie in the new iTunes (I have 9.0.1.8), I'm confronted with a black Now Playing screen, and then (more often than not) iTunes or Quicktime crash.

I've tried re-installing both of them (and made sure to restart my computer after each), but to no avail. This is a very recent problem, as I was able to watch everything as recently as the 28th of September. Currently, they only work if I play them on my iPod.

Podcasts still work, however, even H.264 video ones. It's just that anything in the TV or Movie section refuses to.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to rectify this?

column browser on network computer ...

Howdy.

Just downloaded the upgrade to iTunes on both my computers. My music is stored on my G4, as it has a larger HDD, but we mostly listen to music on a vista laptop, using library sharing. When I connect to the mac's shared library the column browser always defaults to a long list of artists down the side, instead of the more useful three column job across the top.

As it loses its connection a bit too often anyway, it gets really annoying very quickly, and I just want it to remember what I told it to do!

any ideas?

syncing outlook calendar to Ipod ...

I am unable to sync my Outlook calendar to my Ipod using iTUNES. My contacts sync just fine but iTUNES does not see any calendars to sync with. Where does iTUNES look to find the calendar?

Can't add song/movie from another ...

I'm new to the iphone. Never used an ipod before because iTunes always bothered me. But I love my iphone, best gadget/device I've ever purchased.

That said, it looks like my qualms with iTunes were not unfounded, at least for me. So here I am, with my iPhone typically sync'd with my home computer. I'm sitting at work with my laptop, and want to add some stuff from my laptop onto my phone. I go into iTunes on the laptop, attempt to add the stuff, and get:

"An iphone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library".

Are you freaking kidding me? I don't want to sync the whole library, I just want to add a few individual things from this computer onto my phone. In all honesty, this has got to be the most ridiculous design flaw I've EVER come across.

Is there some simple way around this? All I want to do is add a few songs/movies from this computer onto my iphone. How freaking complicated can that be?

Kasperksy AntiVirus breaks AirPort ...

After upgrading to Windows 7, installing the current version of Kaspersky AV (2010) and current version of iTunes (9.0.1), iTunes seemed to work fine with one exception: I could no longer connect to my AirPort Express device from within iTunes. After upgrading to 9.0.2 (with official Windows 7 support) no change was noticed. Apple's wireless multimedia support group was absolutely worthless, taking no responsibility at all for troubleshooting the issue other than to reinstall iTunes. I did my own troubleshooting, and determined that Kaspersky AV's Web AntiVirus portion of their product was the culprit. I added iTunes.exe as a trusted application in the Threats and Exclusions section of the Options menu, checking the "scan network traffic" exclusion, and iTunes can now see the AirPort Express once again. According to Kaspersky, this exclusion will be added to the next signature update.

iTunes "keeps playing" once all search ...

I'm not sure if this is an error or how iTunes was intended to operate but I find it INCREDIBLY annoying.

If I perform a search and, say, 5 songs are returned I expect iTunes to play those 5 songs and STOP. Yet it does not do this - it just keeps playing the next song in my library that would normally follow the last song played, even though that song does NOT match my search, and is NOT displayed on screen.

This is ridiculous. iTunes continues playing songs that fall outside my search parameters - this is an awful logic hole.

How can I fix this? I keep waiting for each new version to correct this problem but it keeps going on. At this point I have to believe this is just more horrible and backwards apple-logic.

iTunes 9 Symlinks for Movies and TV ...

Hello Everyone

I've just got myself a laptop (Windows 7) and have set my old PC up as a windows home server (WHS) there is a share on the server called vidoes and in this share I have created two folders Movies and TV Shows.

On my laptop I created a new iTunes library, and created a symlink from ..\itunes media\movies to \\servername\videos\movies and the same with tv shows. This was done with the build in command 'mklink'

i.e. mklink /d .\itunes media\movies \\servername\videos\movies

I then imported my tv shows from a external hard drive into itunes, it copied the files correct via the symlink into the movies folder on the server.

Now those files need the info changed so that they are treated as TV shows not movies so i select the files | get info | and changed there type from Film to TV show, clicked ok.

The first file copied correctly, all the others failed. The synlink had been removed!

Has anyone got any idea why?

Many Thanks

After Win 7 install, iTunes can'f find ...

I have a dual boot Windows system, with three hard drives, one is my Windows XP install drive, one is the newly released Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, and the third has all of my data files.

After I installed Win 7 and downloaded iTunes, I was able to install iTunes and it opens properly (unlike some folks that are having issues with the 64-bit version). The problem is that iTunes does not recognize my iTunes library. I've switched back to the XP installation and verified the path and that the library works. But when I go back into Win 7 and put in the path, nothing.

The only thing I can think of is that because of the way the dual boot system works, when I am in XP, the computer recognized my XP disk at the C:\, my Data Drive as the D:\ and the now Win 7 drive as the F:\. When in Windows 7, the Win 7 drive is mapped as the C:\, the XP Drive is the E:\ and the Data Drive is the Z:\. Could the xml file that stores the library information use absolute references as opposed to relative references? But this does not make sense. If I lost my OS but had a copy of the library, shouldn't I be able to copy the library back onto the hard drive and then simply point iTunes to it?

I burned several hours trying to solve this. Anyone with any thoughts?

We are using the same computer, email and password. We did not create a new account but why are our Ipod's not recognizing this? How do we get our already bought songs back?

Album Artwork Randomly Disappearing ...

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this has already been asked / answered but a quick search did not pull anything up. After painstakingly adding artwork to every song in my library, it seems that iTunes is randomly deleting some of the art. It seems like everytime I load iTunes or sync my iPod Touch a few dozen songs have lost their artwork. It's very frustrating to have to go back, figure out which songs have been affected and retrieve the art again and again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

iTunes for Windows and a qNAP NAS ...

Hi.

I have a problem, but I suspect it is working as designed.

I have just moved all of my music from my PC to my QNAP 219P NAS that has been setup af iTunes server.

If I point Library-Music to my NAS, it will start copying the files to my local machine. And I just dont want all of my music on all of my PC's/MAC's.

Hooked up the external hard drive to new computer, moved that folder to the desk top there. opened up Itunes, added those songs to his new Itunes library. Go to play those songs and says must authorize computer. Put in pass word etc...looks like its playing but no sound but can play and hear songs that we purchased on the new computer.

iTunes screensaver = doom ...

Lately, it seems since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, it has randomly been freezing. What happens is that while I'm listening to my music, iTunes will stop working. The song still appears to be playing (pause button is shown), but no music is playing, and click the pause/play button does nothing. I often have to ctrl alt del to close iTunes.

I've been noticing now that it seems to be correlated to my screensaver. Shortly after it comes on is when iTunes seems to be freezing up. My screensaver is simply a slideshow of all my digital photos. I have never had a problem with this before. Once in awhile too, my screensaver will be a text saying "An error prevented Slideshow from playing." Again, I have never had this problem before, and it seems to be happening since the installation of iTunes 9. In fact, this just happened a few minutes ago, and I can't even reopen iTunes... looks like a restart is my only option.

I'm running Windows Vista, iTunes version 9, and I have an HP Pavilion. Any suggestions?! HELP!

CD burn error 4000 ...

I've have burned over 100 CDs with my Dell desktop over the last 3 years, but the other day i got a message 'CD disc unable to burn (error 400)'. I don't know what caused it to suddenly stop working.

Basically, I selected the play list and told it to burn a CD. I right clicked on Virtual CD icon in the task bar and on my virtual CDR I told it to create a 700MB disc and insert it. iTunes sees it and then it says "checking playlist" and then it as soon as that is done, it briefly says it's starting to burn the cd when it immediately switches to canceling cd burn and then shows a dialog with the following: The attempt to burn the disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4000).

I am ambivalent about methods of fixing this problem because i am fearful that i will lose my library which has over 3000 songs in it. Is there any safe solution to this problem? I am thankful for any help!

There are no LowerFilter or UppperFilter keys to delete, so I am not able to continue that process.

iTunes 9 on Windows 7 x64 Has Problems ...

Hi All,

This is VERY frustrating. I have installed the MS Windows 7 x64 Enterprise Eval (Supposedly the gold copy for eval). I installed iTunes 9 using the 64 bit installer. I can get it to install correctly and play music, so no problems with iTunes as a music player, but try and sync with an iPhone and there are all sorts of problems.

I have done the following:

1) Installed/De-installed iTunes about a million times
2) Put my iPhone on a powered USB hub
3) Plugged my iPhone into a USB hub on my computer

I can get iTunes to recognize my iPhone, but I sometimes get a set of different errors.

Sometimes iTunes won't recognize the iPhone. When I unplug it, Windows tells me that it could not install the "MTP USB Drivers". Don't know why, but that is what it says.

I can plug it in again and iTunes will recognize it, but it says:

iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065).

If I put my phone in recovery mode, iTunes indicates that the phone needs recovery and starts the process. After a while, it comes up with the unknown error again.

Sometimes it says could not sync with iPhone "".....

I've manually de-installed the Apple drivers and reinstalled. That hasn't worked.

I've run the install and software in Compatability mode for Vista.

I am my wits end.

Anybody out there with ideas? Should I downgrade iTunes? It appears as though version 9 might have some issues.

There are also tracks that are severely cut off, such as 5 minute songs now showing up as only 0:07.

Syncing ipod with 2 i tunes accounts ...

Newby here, set up an itunes accounts ages ago, forgot username and password so set up a second, put credit on, purchased some songs and tried to sync but would not let me as itunes recognised my ipod as different name, i.e library. Only thing I could do was delete all the songs I had on my ipod and load the new ones I purchased. So now in a position where I have 2 accounts with itunes one with all my old stuff on which I want to reload and the new one with only the few new purchases on my ipod. How do I go about getting the stuff from my first library onto my ipod. Also have the other problem that my credit balance is now on my new account. Hopefully I'm being dumb and there a simple answer Hope someone can help!

I bought about $16.00 worth of music off of iTunes via my iPod Touch. All the music was successfuly downloaded onto my iPod. When I went to transfer the music to my iTunes library, however, things went horribly wrong! My music is gone! Only four songs made it to my iTunes library, two of which I bought along with an entire album. I don't understand! Where did all my music go? And why was only some of it deleted?

Is this a known issues?

ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. ...

First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.

I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.

I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.

1. Uninstalling iTunes Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
3. Cleaning the registry.
4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.

** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.

All of this and it goes nowhere good.

Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.

I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.

As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.

If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.

Thank you for your time and help.

Common sense tells me this can't be done but I'll ask anyway.

I've got a dual boot macpro w/ xp using bootcamp. Is there a way to either share songs using home sharing from my mac side to xp or import the songs from the mac side to xp?

My assumption is no...other than burning everything to a cd then importing to xp from there.

I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.

I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

Just will not sync properly with ...

Hi

I am having a problem syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes on my laptop.

I've had the phone a few weeks and previously have never owned a iPod/used iTunes before buying it.

I am running iTunes version 9.0.1.8 on Windows Vista Home Premium (machine is a dual core Pentium T2310 with 2Gb RAM).

The phone software is version 3.1.

The phone works fine when not connected to the computer.

The problem I am having is when syncing the phone. The phone begins to sync but often stops halfway through.

When the phone begins to sync it normally syncs bookmarks, applications etc. fine but then stops when I try and upload music to it. It will very often copy a few tracks and then freeze completely. Very often none of the music will have successfully copied over.

I have tried copying artists individually by checking the albums one at a time (rather then automatically sync the entire content) however the problem persists.

I have successfully copied some tracks but have only managed to successfully copy a few artists.

When it fails to copy music, one of the following error messages appears:

moved library to an external and can't ...

I moved my library from my laptop by copying the whole itunes folder to my external and then choosing the library in the new location when opening Itunes. This seemed to work fine. So I tried ripping a cd and found that the resulting files didn't go to the new external, but back to the C drive (old location). I then changed the import music location (under edit/preferences/advanced) to the new external location and then consolidated to it. I then deleted my original files on my C drive. Now, any song I select to play can not be located and requires manual location. I have about 40,000 songs and I'm starting to freak out. I really don't want to lose my playcounts, lists, and ratings.

Any help would be wonderful!

iTunes 9 deleting apps off iPhone ...

I've had my iTunes music folder on an external drive for ages and iTunes is usually intelligent enough to leave the contents of my iPod and iPhone alone if I sync when my external drive is not available. However I just updated to the iTunes 9 folder structure which, as I understand it, means apps are now stored in the media folder on the external drive rather than in the library folder on the local drive.

The trouble is when I sync my phone and the external drive is not connected, iTunes deletes all the apps off my phone! How do I stop this happening?

The wishlist is a VERY poor substitute for the shopping cart.

The shopping cart v8 and previous allowed users to play that 30 second sample to confirm whether a selection made earlier really stood up in comparison to other tracks in the shopping cart. With the wishlist I can get fewer than a third of tracks to preview. This issue is a serious issue for heavy users of the store. i will take my purchasing elsewhere until the funtionality of version 8 is restored.

nothing wrong with my internet connection BTW, I managed to navigate to this forum and to input to it.

Cover art disappearing - need to find ...

Hi,

I would like to delete the cache file for the cover art for 1 album. Every album has cover art, except one. It did have the correct album art, until somehow it has become corrupted, so none shows in the "Get Info" box and adding art has no effect. I have tried removing the album and adding it again, but the same problem returns, even if the name of the album is changed. I have tried searching through the cache for a recently modified file, but it doesn't show up when I have made the recent changes.

Am I going to have to keep deleting random cache files until I become lucky and delete the correct one?

As far as I can tell looking at the security settings for the folder where the iTunes library is saved, I DO have full access privileges. In fact, the last modified date for the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files is just a few minutes ago.

Also, I don't notice anything going wrong within iTunes, just these periodic, annoying errors. I could just check the "don't show this error again" box but I'd rather fix whatever is wrong.

Maybe there is a simple way to fix, but I have all my songs on an external drive, and if my drive is unconnected or drops connection at any point, Itunes flips through my whole library and gives every song it tries to play that explanation mark, I've found no easy way to undo or fix this. I have to delete the whole library and re-import every song. If there is no fix to this, than apple needs to look into it. some kind of refresh button to find missing songs, or to force it to check the file's path again after fixing the connection to my drive because I can't go through and find thousands of songs one by one.

I've found at least one other topic here regarding this issue, but Apple has yet to address it, or even confirm that it's in fact an issue.

A big portion of my library consists of international artists, many who have special/nonstandard characters in their names (e.g. "Ti?sto"). In previous versions of iTunes, I could search for "Tiesto" (note the absence of the umlaut over the 'e') and all of those tracks would appear. However, after upgrading to iTunes 9, I'm forced to search for "Ti?sto" in order to view those tracks.
