iTunes freezes my computer every time I open it

2010-01-04T05:52:15Z

Help!
Every time I open iTunes (the new version.... i wish it hadn't been installed!) it starts 'determining Gapless Playback List' and before it gets anywhere it freezes. I have to restart my computer. It's rendered my iTunes useless.
Suggestions, please!

iTunes licenses your music forever, but drops your account if you don't order for a year

2009-12-20T04:36:24Z

thereby not allowing you to authorize your computer to play them. I migrated tunes from my laptop to my new mini and the dropped account purchased songs won't play. iTunes will no longer answer my emails, and a hour and half conversation with onshore Apple person was pleasant but he is baffled as well.

Turns out if you don't purchase tunes for year, they drop your account. In my case, I was very ill, so had to use a new email to purchase songs because my original email would no longer work. I have invoices proving I legally purchased tunes and iTunes now ignores my emails. The Apple person (had a great conversation with him) says iTunes is in their own world ... and the Apple people have no way of contacting them if they ignore the Apple people too.

So, this means that iTunes licenses your music forever, but drop your account after a year ... leaving you high and dry. I wonder if this is even legal.

This is the worst I've been treated by any software company in my 25 years of using computers. iTunes is a mess.

organizational question

2009-10-16T08:11:42Z

Hi, I'm new to this tribe, and I'll admit I'm not smarter than iTunes. I have several compilation albums, and in iTunes each artist will be listed separately. So, I'll have like 17 entries for the same album. How do I get them to only be on there once?

Thanks for your help :)

ipod Touch frozen

2009-08-18T03:13:37Z

I was messing with the weather app. checking weather in random cities. I then got the whirling wheel of doom in the top corner. I tried exiting the app and it somehow forwarded me to my music, which i then could not exit.

I then tried holding the top button down( thought it would force restart)...nothing.

then press/hold top and pressed main button on bottom. this gave me a bright white screen. which is where i am stuck now.

hooked it to my mac book to see what that would do. i successfully transferred all apps from the iTouch but still have the stark white screen of doom.

any way to force restart?
any suggestions?

iTunes updates... yeah right!!!

2009-07-26T16:33:55Z

Ok I love iTunes. But I am pretty upset about the updates. I think it is completely unfair and a creep decision of Mac to create a new form that will not update unless you have OS X 10.4 or higher. Why should others be cut off from the funky apps and other cool features? Yes I know it is because of the new iPod, but not everyone can afford to run and buy newer hardware and software every time a company decides to make the product better (or is it just a case of being greedy like someone else in Microsoft). Any thoughts, negative/ or abusive comments will be ignored. Lets not waste each others time.

re: iTunes "burn" problem (URGENT!!!)

Hey Y'all --

What's going on with this my laptop (MacBook PRO)?

I tried burning a (re-writable) CD but got this message:

"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."

Is this a serious issue?

I really need to resolve this soon... so I can send in my RADIO MIX to the station -- it aires tomorrow.

Please help!!!

Thanks so much for your assistance ;-)

Crap sound quality on burned CDs?

2009-05-11T04:50:52Z

I burned a CD using iTunes about a month ago, and when I played it back, it sounded like crap. I haven't had a chance to burn any more CDs, but a friend just sent me five CDs she burned using iTunes, and they all sound like crap, too - irregular scratchy static, random pauses that last a couple of seconds. It's not the CD player, because I've played the discs in three different players that play other discs with no problems, with the same crappy sound quality.

Is this a problem that's endemic to iTunes? (I'm running the latest 8.whatever version on a Windows XP machine, and my friend has a two-year-old Mac, so I doubt it's a PC-only problem.) Or am I just having a weird streak of bad luck with this?

Problems with tracks "lining up"

2009-03-29T02:17:01Z

I'm having a weird problem with my ipod classic (80 gig) AND with itunes

I've loaded a 4 hour opera, and rather than have Disc 1, 2, 3, I just numbered all of the tracks sequentially. There are a total of 29 tracks, but a couple of them don't "line up" in the proper order. I've checked and rechecked, and I seem to have them numbered correctly (1 of 29, 2 of 29, etc).

Has anyone run across this?

Any suggestions?

Is that even possible?

Well, they didn't go away... & I'm afraid that I might have to re-trash the original from my MacBook PRO's "Music Folder" one-by-one.

Please tell me there's a MUCH easier way to locate these old, obsolete & unwanted files...

Consolidation Problem

2008-08-04T06:44:27Z

I consolidated my library because i'm preparing to move it to another computer and it worked well except for the mixes. For example if my friend once gave me a mix CD and i labeled all the tracks when i uploaded it to itunes, the consolidation has turned it back to track #, unknown artist, and unknown album. it did this to all my mixes. So my itunes library folder has the usual artist folders with the album folders inside containing the songs but it also has a "unknown artist" folder in which i have hundreds of Tracks. Is there a way to fix this with out making the artist-album folders myself? Shouldn't it have worked? because in itunes the artist, album, and name are filled out. its frustrating. any help?

burning MP3 discs

I used to be able to burn a large quantity of Wave files onto a disc and have them automatically converted to MP3s on the disc during the burning process. I tried this recently and am prompted that I cant burn an MP3 disc because some of the files are not ALREADY MP3s. Whats up? Is there some way to get them burned as MP3s without copying them as converted files first?

?? why update iTunes to current versions

2008-06-01T13:13:06Z

I notice from prior posts that oftentimes there are problems after updating to the more current version of iTunes. I currently have version 7.0, and the apple website indicates 7.6.2 is the most current version of this program. Please explain why I should update.

What benefits are there to updating other than getting to play some of their newer version songs and videos ? Any forewarnings prior to doing so? I don't have external hard drive to backup to.

MORE gap between songs

2008-05-30T01:15:06Z

howdy

i use my laptop to play music at home,
through iTunes,
with my laptop connected to my old marantz receiver.

how can i control the gap between songs?

i know that in the itunes-preferences there's a
"crossfade playback" feature, which allows you to
tighten up the space between songs....

but sometimes i'd like to have MORE space
between songs -- anywhere from 2 to 8 seconds --
whatever

but i can't figure out how to do this!

maybe i'm missing something quite obvious?

maybe it's not possible?

maybe there's some other software to use
that might do this?

any info would be appreciated!

thanks!

Damaged Itunes library

When iTunes starts, I see this message "iTunes libaray does not appear to be a valid iTunes library. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to iTunes library(damaged)1.itl.
My podcast subscriptions in the library disappear and they are all in the playlist section in a playlist titled "podcasts".
Then itunes starts analysing gapless playback information for all the songs in the ipod.
What is going on? Any ideas? How to fix? And how to make it go away?

Podcasts Missing from Playlists

2008-01-13T21:46:55Z

More and more I find myself listening to podcasts during my relatively long commute to work.

Recently I performed an upgrade to Leopard and suspect in doing so that I may have also installed the latest upgrade to iTunes. In any case, when I start up iTunes the podcasts which I've subscribed to download to the Podcasts folder in my library but I find that I no longer have a Podcasts folder in my Playlists file. In short, the casts are getting downloaded to my iTunes folder but aren't getting snet to my iPod when I synch it.

Any suggestions on 1) what I might be doing wrong and 2) what I might do to correct it?

As usual, all help is appreciated.

High Resolution Audio

2008-01-08T16:08:40Z

Hi,

I have a couple of DVD Audio discs that I was hoping to transfer to my ipod. Unfortunately itunes only seems to recognise cd's and the highest sampling rate is a mere 48khz. It would be ideal I think, if itunes recognised the DVD-A disc & it was possible to set a high bit & sampling rate e.g. 320 bit rate & 96khz sample rate.

I am using iTunes 7.4.2.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Re-synching my iPod.

2007-12-14T01:26:26Z

OK, I have a iMac with a 150 gig LaCie external drive where my iPod music resides.

I made sure sure all music was on that drive before I did a clean install of OS X (Leopard). I performed and completed the install on my iMac, have hooked the La Cie back up. It *seems* obvious that all I should need to do now is to open my iTunes and reference the La Cie folder where all my music is now located.

But.... I know the world isn't that simple. Plus there's the issue if my iPod which has all of the songs on it.

If I try to refresh my iPod what can I expect? Are there any hidden boulders under the waters that I need to look out for? What exactly am I doing when I "De-authorize Audible Account?"

What is happening when I "Consolidate [my] Library?"

Any helpful hints much appreciated.

BTW, 95% of the music comes from burning my entire CD collection to the computer. The other 5% has been purchased from iTunes. 0% has been downloaded illegally? Does the source of the music matter when trying to re-connect after an OS upgrade?

no song names upon importing cd

Hi all,
I tried to search the old threads but I couldn't find if this had been discussed before (though I'm sure it has).
I just bought a macbook laptop and every time I try and import a cd into my library, I have to manually fill in the song names, artist, cd name, etc because iTunes isn't retrieving them for me automatically. I think there is something in my preferences I have to re-set, but I've tried messing with it a bit and can't seem to fix the problem. Any advice?

Ok now I have a challenge.

2007-10-11T05:08:09Z

I have moved my iTunes music folder from one external hard drive to another. Reset my iTunes Prefs to direct iTunes to the new location. Then 2 automatic processes, 'updating iTunes Library' and 'Would you like to organize the folder to meet itunes prefs setting to keep the music folder organized' or something like that. I said yes.

Result: 80% of my music in my library is now not associated with the actual file.
Fix? Anyone now a way to do a mass- re-association of the music?
I tried reseting the location and back to make it prompt for the 'Updating iTunes Library' to give it another shot, and this time I did not organize the music folder. No improvement.

Thanks.

How to print album digital booklet?

I just bought an album from the iTunes Store and want tp print the booklet that came with the music for the CD case.

Trouble is when I print these PDF pages they comes out letter size--8 x10 not small enough to fit a CD case.

So how can I print them smaller? I wasn't able to with the tools shown.

two-fers

2007-09-20T09:39:29Z

My iTunes (and iPod) has been doing some weird two-fer sets lately. And sometimes it'll do a two-fer for BAND A and then play a different band, and then come back with another from BAND A. It's weird. You'd think with over 1,600 songs in a "My Top Rated" playlist, that wouldn't happen. And yet it happens when I'm just in the general library (2110 songs), too.

iMix, publishing your innermost playlists...

2007-05-16T21:37:48Z

Hey Pod People,
Finally getting comfortable with my iPod. We've bonded. :-) Making playlists now, and by accidentally hitting the wrong button I happened to publish my playlist on the iTunes website. Great fun. They comb your list and dispose of anything they don't carry, but on the other hand they let you make notes and comments about your mix. Great fun to see your work published, and wonderful satisfaction when someone else votes your mix an 'excellent'. On the downside, fifty bajillion other people are doing this, so the odds that anyone will even FIND your list are slim. Still its a fun time waster and a nice feature. Now, back to my countdown of top Theremin songs....

To get the library of music to play only music I'm going to have to create a 'music-only' playlist and copy in just the music files, right? or is there an easier way to configure?

Switching music library location

2007-03-28T00:02:39Z

I'm trying to do what would seem simple, with no succssess.
My problem: My laptop HD is too full of music,
My solution: Copy music library to folder on external HD, keep all playlists in Itunes and change the 'location' preference in my itunes.
Problem: When I go to change the location, I direct it to the external HD, then the music folder, but then it brings up every album/artist I have in the folder, and won't let me select them all.

Am I missing something? or is there a better way to do this?

How can you tell how many playlists a song is in?

2007-03-11T06:50:25Z

I wish there was a column in itunes to see how many playlists a song is in.

For instance, the row for a song would contain a column called "Playlists" and you would see "Recently Added", "Recently Played", and "My Top Rated" playlists.

If there is a way to do this without manually scrolling down all of my playlists, do tell!

Skipping/Stalling

2007-02-06T23:25:20Z

I am wondering if anyone else is noticing a glitch with iTunes 7+ that causes random missed beats or skips in tracks. I've been growing my collection steadily with iTunes for a few years now and have loved it up until recently. These "glitches" in the tracks are not duplicating on a regular basis which makes me think that it isn't a problem with the actual tracks. I also do not have this problem with the same track(s) on a different PC, or using a different player on the same PC.

Running a Dell Inspiron 1505 with 1gb RAM and 1.6gz Dual Core. iTunes is the ONLY software running at the time, excepting for the few tray apps that run all the time. I don't want to switch from iTunes as I have yet to find a comparable music organization/playback system, but I won't put up with random glitchiness in the music.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the issue?

Thanks

single skip in the first few secs..

2007-02-06T23:17:19Z

in itunes on mac and on ipod, any song that i have imported (brand new cd's, old cd's, itunes downloads, anything) will skip around the 4 sec mark. not every time i play a song though..
its frakkin annoying, as it interrupts my musical continuum.
i perceive it to be some sort of anti-theft programming (which would be stupid, cause i bought the damn thing!! friggin gestapo.)

anybody know how to avoid this skip?
thanks!

Duplicate file mess!

2007-01-27T20:01:48Z

Long story short, a friend of mine was mesing around on my mac and now I have a massive amount of dupicate files (thanks Dom) that I need to get rid of. Is there an easier way of getting rid of them than having to do it all manually? I have used the show duplicate files potion but would still have to perform the operation by hand.

Thanks in advance.

any way to un-install iTunes version 7

2006-12-25T00:04:22Z

The new iTunes is destroying my computer. I cant even open it without the program immediately freezing (as soon as it tries to determine the gapless playback information) and ive heard it will make it impossible to update my ipod without erasing it first.
please please please if there is any way to reinstall an old version, id be grateful.
im on a keyboard that doesnt have accessories, thats why my typing is bad.

2006-12-22T02:28:59Z

What is this addition to iTunes that I either installed or turned on? I can't remember how to turn off this song menu that pops up everytime a new song begins. Ii's got a semi transparent black background w the song title, album picture, and relavent song data. I can't touch anything below it while it's up.

How does one upload a file to tribe? I was going to show a picture of the screen, but can't figure out how or where to put the file.

CD to MP3

2006-12-15T16:56:06Z

Ive read most of the file conversion instructions... does this process allow me to burn an mp3cd from conventional cds ive copied into itunes? i was already messing around with a playlist for an mp3 i want to make for a gift. i figured out how to change my advanced settings to mp3 conversion, highlighted the playlist, then right-clicked for a pull-down menu which gave me the mp3 conversion option. the playlist (190 songs) took about 30min, and when it was complete i still got the error message for the same # of unwriteable tunes (85). i gots the feeling theres some vastly important thing ive overlooked... any ideas? i know very little about computers... please follow technical terms with plain translation. what is ACC/M4A...blablabla?

back up itunes?

2006-11-18T21:22:18Z

ok i'm so clueless that i don't even know what i'm asking but here goes

i have itunes 6.0 installed on the computer, as far as I know everything in my itunes library is transferred over to the ipod

my computer is running really slow, probably at least in part due to the large library of tunes

so, since all songs are saved on the ipod, is there a way to back up itunes on the computer and then delete it or somehow free up space? having it on ipod is that good enough? i really don't want to burn everything to cd, i may as well just have cds instead of an ipod.

if i do delete the music files on itunes, won't they automatically load back when i plug the ipod in again?

or is there some kind of external device that is sold to back up my ipod?

thanks...i have looked thru the tutorials but can't find answers to these specific questions

Moved music to external drive- chaos ensues (help!)

2006-11-12T00:31:07Z

So, my little iBook was pretty much full, so I moved my music to an external hard drive. I then went in and told iTunes where to find said new music...it seemed fine. But, next time I opened iTunes, my library was blank. Grumble.

I went into my external drive, basically dragged my music back into the library, and then told iTunes again where to find it. That's all well and good....

but my PLAYLISTS are gone. I mean, they are still there, but they are BLANK. WTF?

How can I fix this? Do the playlist settings get saved somewhere? Or am I just screwed, and need to start building them over again? It would suck, but not be the end of the world.

Arrgh!

itunes in imovies

2006-10-25T18:41:23Z

I am new here so forgive me if this is a repeat topic, I did a search and didn't see it...

I have one Mac and one itunes account. I am having a problem wherein the music clips (of music that was purchased from itunes) that I have included in movies that i have made using imovie, are now suddenly requiring authorization when I go to play a movie I have made. Each and every music clip...some in old movies I made a long time ago...and each authorization requires typing in a password and waiting several minutes.

anyone know anything about this and what I should do? this involves numerous movies I have made in the past and one I am currently working on...

Who has the most songs in their iTunes library?

2006-10-25T05:33:03Z

3672 taking 15.48GB so far. I know that's probably not very much. I wonder who on the entire planet has the most songs. Or would it be iTunes themselves? I have noticed there are things iTunes doesnt have. I was going to get Slayer - Reign In Blood and they don't have it? That's my favorite Slayer cd. I wonder if they would have obscure bands that are talked about in my Industrial music magazines. Guess I'll have to look into it. They gotta have Delerium.

importing a mix cd w/ track separation

2006-10-25T05:29:15Z

so i imported a mixed cd and not only did the tracks come in out of order (easy fix) but within each track there are 2 breaks, and i don't mean a break in the beat, i mean a break in the sound !!! not good!!

how do i either fix this, or re import it so that it's a seamless mix (the way it sounds when i play it directly from the cd) ?

Latest iTunes music purchases ?

2006-10-24T19:48:17Z

Today I got Enigmas latest cd A Posteriori which was released on 9/26. I didnt know they had a new one till about an hour ago. I like it alot! I also bought one called Industrial Monk - Magnificat. I listened to all the 30 second clips of all the songs on both cd's before buying them and they sound pretty good. At the moment I am on the 4th song of the Enigma one and like it all so far. I can't wait to hear the whole Industrial Monk after I listen to this. Anyway. Just sharing my excitement. I have loved Enigma for many years and it's nice they have a new cd out that is just as good if not better than everything else theyve ever put out.
Cheers!

First iTunes purchase

2006-10-19T22:52:43Z

I have just been burning all my cd's onto iTunes & iPod but hadnt bought anything from iTunes until last night. I bought the soundtrack to the first season of the tv show called ALIAS. It's made by Michael Giacchino. He also produced the music for LOST. Alias is the show that the people who made LOST made before making LOST. Anyway. I like the show alot and this soundtrack is really good. It was really easy to figure out how to buy from iTunes and I'm really excited about buying other music in the future. I was just wondering what other peoples first music purchase from iTunes were.

BURNING CD's... Track 1, Track 2, Track 3... No track data

2006-10-17T15:36:59Z

I'm sure somebody's asked this before, but please help. Suddenly when I burn a copy of a CD, the CD no longer copies with track information; all I get is Track 1, 2, 3.... no song titles. I think -- I THINK -- that maybe this only happens with music that I download from the iTunes store and not with "hard" CDs that I buy in a record shop (cuz it didn't used to happen to me at all AND I didn't used to use the iTunes store to buy music until recently).

Anybody seen this before? Have a solution or workaround? Help would be much appreciated.

I like to download music to my iMAC iTunes, burn a CD and then transfer it to my mac mini iTunes, and now it's all screwed up cuz of this problem.

Thanks in advanc e!

2006-10-17T15:17:32Z

I turn my ipod on and try to play a tune and instead it rolls on the the next song for a second, then the next....without playing any of them. I can pause it and go back to menu, etc, but it delays before moving on to the next action. I can't turn it off, and eventually it just freezes. I have to just wait till it powers down and then recharges. Perhaps I'm accidentally activating something?

7.01 not working well

2006-10-17T07:46:22Z

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I waited until 7.01 was released as I had heard of the problems with 7.0.

This is the problem I'm having. iTunes doens't see my iPod everytime I attach it. When I run the diagnostics from iTunes help, it says that it isn't connected. After I reboot with iTunes open, it is recognized and I'm able to update my subscribed podcasts. And when I manually stop iPod service it works. I've deleted and re-installed this version of iTunes, and the problem persists. Any one know how to fix this so that when I plug in the iPod it will be recognized without all this hassle? I'm running Windows XP.
Many Thanks

New to tribe &......

2006-10-04T03:56:01Z

......out of the few tribes about iPod this one looked most interesting to me. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what is the best edition and / or latest edition of the book "iPod & iTunes for Dummies"? I want to get it to learn more but not sure which one to get. There are 4 editions that I have seen on Amazon. It's hard to tell which ones are just the skinny booklet and which one is the full size large paperback. My roommate gave me an iPod about a month ago and I have been burning all my cd's and have about 3,500 songs so far and this is only about 5 or 10 percent of my cd collection. I am throwing away all the jewel cases & storing all the cd's in plastic boxes under my bed. I love my iPod and it has become my most cherished material posession. : ) I bought a Seagate 750GB external hard drive so I guestimate that should hold about 375,000 songs? Give or take a few thousand? lol This is so much fun!

ITunes & iPod knowledge

2006-09-30T21:37:28Z

I just picked up a book called "The iPod Book" by Scott Kelly. It has some pretty useful information in there about the iPod's features and iTunes.

Did you know that you can print your own custom CD Jewel Case Inserts right from iTunes? Pretty darn cool I say.

Once you have a playlist set up click on the list and then go under file menu - choose Print. It gives you an option to Print CD Jewl Case Insert and if you check the different drop down menus - say Mosaic - it will print a collage of the available album artwork for the cover as well as compling a list of the songs.

Good to know!

version 7.0 not working for me !

2006-09-28T10:48:08Z

I just upgraded via download to version 7.0.

when I first opened itunes it analyzed my library and something called "Gapless Playback Information", which I believe addresses a problem that was discussed here recently.

but then....
now, when I select a song to playback it just quits (less and less) "unexpectedly" , the whole program, and suggest sending a report to apple...

Locked Tracks

2006-09-18T04:01:11Z

Good day, Ive recently encountered multiple albums where when ive gone to add album / artist labels,
and for some reason im unable to add any context to some tracks. When opening up the information
for the track, within the artist, album, grouping ect, fields im unable to select or move my cursor into
the boxes to create any labels. As if these options have been glazed over rendering them useless,
seemingly. Seeing as I had the same problem with my last version, my itunes 7 still seems to do the same
thing. Going into the track information individualy outside of itunes, ive selected all the fields under ownership
and permission as read and write, and yet still ive found it to be useless in applying and labels. As im looking
to see if anyone has ran into the same problem before, or if there is some program to unlock locked files out
there that someone could refer me to.

best regards
keith

WMA files not importing?

2006-08-18T16:44:36Z

Ok I have something I think should be simple. I just bought a Mac and have only been using Itunes for a few weeks. I want to simply put all my WMA files on my playlist to listen to them with all my other music. I understand some are protected and will not go through, but I can't get ANY to go through! The WMA files are on my computer not on a CD.

The directions read:
go to file, add to library, choose song(s) and they should be added to your playlist.

So I do all that then nothing happens. I don't get the error saying they are protected so I know thats not the problem. They just dont add. I've tried importing them too and still nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?!

2006-06-15T00:53:01Z

that I wish you could set your own "home page". EX: if you like Rock then you could set iTunes to open on the Rock page when you sign in, if you like Country you could set it to open to the Country page. I think this feature is LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG overdue.

just my humble opinion.
