iTunes 12.4 is a disaster

Since your automatic update of iTunes, I've lost my whole library. The new file is empty - and there is no previous file. More I can't get a new song to an existing playlist on my iPod.

I can't edit playlists on my iPod.

In short, I am so angry and have spent about 2 hours trying to get out.

I have no idea what to do now...

Apple is a total disaster. There was a time where he produces material of Nice and intuitive. Function and beauty. Now, it is practically impossible for me to read the pale gray color, that you have and nothing, but nothing is intuitive.

And I don't think I want to hear from you. I'm sorry for Apple - and for me.

  • Operating system is 10.8.5 with iTunes 12.3.2.35! A DISASTER! I need to downgrade iTunes.

    I'm under 10.8.5 mountain lion because it has been very stable for me. However, I updated iTunes to 12.3.2.35! I refuse to OS level... but I'd love to downgrade iTunes! I am a singer with more than 400 songs and before I updated I got a nice working system. I couldn't remember all these words, so, I simply typed in photoshop and saved as a JPEG. Then I dropped in the "album cover" of each song. Downloaded all the music on my iPad. Whatever the song, I chose the words filled my screen automatically. Since I updated iTunes, everything changed. I thought I should update my iPad and that would make things to work, fake!

    My words always appear on my iPad... but cover only 1/4 of the screen. In the meantime, in iTunes on the computer, he started turning the words of many songs. In addition, I'll have a success rate of 50% addition of song lyrics and have iTunes recognize at least.

    I'm not a "technical" person I need a "simple" solution I have the original CD for OS 10... I'm about to "recharge" the whole software!

    There is no simple solution. Reloading your OSX 10.6 of the disc and then reload another version by upgrading back to 10.8 while also restoring all your files of users is certainly not straightforward. You can browse the Internet for dozens and dozens of instructions on how to downgrade iTunes but who is not either a 5 minutes task. If you were smart and had cloned your machine before installing the new iTunes would be the simplest solution.

  • How can I uninstall iTunes 12.5 to 12.4?

    I have a mac and the new iTunes is horrible. the new look wastes a lot of space, thumbnails of the artist are all gone, the look is terrible! Especially when I'm trying to get rid of this horrible update and downgrade, Mac prevents and blocks saying Mac OS needs iTunes and it cannot be changed. If users are blocked. Have I said it's also HORRIBLE? I can't believe that a company would force its users to comply with these changes without giving them all the options. It's like they don't even care what their customers think! iTunes 12.4 was not perfect, but I was comfortable with it. At least, it's much better than the disaster that is iTunes 12.5. Help, please!

  • iOS 9.3.2 on iPod Touch 5th generation = disaster

    A few days back that I have updated to iOS 9.3.2 on iPod touch 5 G and the machine became impossible to use. I mean the update says clearly "better performace, speed. I understand that for the newer and more powerful devices (6tg, iphone 6: 6 G ipod) is a step forward, but for older devices, it's a disaster. She even can not update more than iOS 8 on older devices in my opinion.

    My question is, it is possible to return somehow to as iOS 8 or 7? I know that the iOS must be signed and authorized Apple or something like that... So is it possible even if the older iOSs are not signed over? Because now I intend to restore the iPod because its unusable.

    Thank you for all the advice on what to do

    Hi, unfortunately there are in any way going down the Apple device. You can try to reset your iPod in order to solve the problem you mentioned. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

    The only way I can do what you want is by using your Time Machine backup of before updating your system.  If you do not have a Time Machine backup, you have no recourse.  ITunes is open right now, and my music library and library TV series are not mixed together.  You can take a screenshot of the appearance of your iTunes?  Maybe we can guide you in fixing it.

  • Difficulty of iTunes to the way it was!

    What happened to the repeat, shuffle and stardom on iTunes? The little heart is poor categorization. And if I am listening to one and I want to repeat, I re - click it. What did you do? All your previous edits were fine, but what makes it complicated to listen flawless. When I listen to an album or a playlist, I have to listen to it in order because there is no shuffle option. I love falling asleep to smooth jazz, but when the song ends I need to manually replay. This update has been a disaster. Change it back, please!

    We are all users of iTunes like you.

  • iTunes will not regroup under the name of artist albums

    I noticed at the bar on the left with the artists, sometimes there are twice, the same artist, with each having only some of the albums and I can't group all albums under the name of an artist to the bar.for some artists can't do, but I did it because some others.anyone know what to do?

    If you see unexpected songs groups when you browse an album - https://support.apple.com/HT204538 - 'songs from the same album may not be grouped as expected when you view them in display Albums in iTunes."

    For most people this solution seems to be one that works: August 2008 post by turingtest2 temporarily change labels - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7904806#7904806 or http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/merge.asp - add a letter at the end of the name of the artist, close the read information, then open it again and remove the letter. This works often but I had cases where securities combined when a letter has been added but divorced when he was kidnapped again.

    The following sections provide additional solutions:

    Often a solution: select all the tracks on the album, file > info (or right-click > news > Details) and give them all a single "album artist", or check the indicator of "compilation" (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).

    Steve MacGuire alias turingtest2 - iTunes and iPod tips and tricks - grouping beaches in Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (old post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895#9910895)

    If they are several CD sets, you will also need to enter the appropriate information in the fields of number of disk.  If they are not a set of multiple CDs that you must always make sure any vacuum or disc number fields are properly defined.

    Another explanation of hhgttg27 August 2015 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/27784417#27784417

    If they are mp3 files are trying to change the version of the ID3 tag, which can cause iTunes to re - write the tags and clarify inconsistencies.  I use iTunes 7.5 (Yes, from 2007) so I can't tell you where it is in later versions.

    I had a case of grouping stubborn reality.  The tracks will be re-group in a way that has no meaning when I changed metadata.  Without going into details, I deleted tracks iTunes completely, then add the files and they are all grouped together correctly.

  • iPod not recognized by iTunes?

    I have iTunes installed on a computer running Windows 10. iTunes is updated to the latest version since this morning.

    My iPod is a 7th generation Nano

    Here's what I've tried so far:

    • Update to iTunes (the problem began before the update and persisted thereafter)
    • Reset the iPod (by pressing the menu and sleep buttons, or whatever they are called, until the screen goes black and then displays the apple logo)
    • Reinstall iTunes
    • Removal/installation/update driver iPod (my iPod appears under portable devices and tells the pilot because it is the latest version, attempts to manually install the driver in the iTunes folder indicates which is the driver already installed). I tried this before and after reinstalling iTunes.

    However, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device driver. I couldn't find two solutions to do this, which has been updated the driver on the iPod, which did nothing. Another option involved to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. Who also did nothing.

    I also read that reformat the iPod through disk management has worked as well, but my iPod does not appear as a disk. In fact, it is not at all. iTunes opens when it is connected and says it cannot recognize it, but it does not appear under devices and readers.

    On a strange note, I have an unknown USB device under USB controllers in device management. Out of curiosity, I unplugged my iPod, uninstalled and plugged my iPod back, time in which the unknown device is returned. So I guess it's my iPod (in the unrecognized State). You know not so relevant.

    I am at one loss as to what else to do. The iPod still works, I can still listen to all music that has been synchronized to him before, but that's all.

    This just started today. Every other time I connected the iPod, it was immediately recognized by iTunes and worked well. Seems that the problem is the absence of the Apple Mobile Device driver, if I was not able to fix this.

    I have not tried to plug the iPod on another computer yet. The only other computer I have is an old laptop that takes forever to initialize. I will try that, after work and see if my iPod works on that one.

    If you have already tried to reinstall iTunes and manually delete specific things like the drivers, you can completely remove iTunes and related software components

  • iTunes 12.5.1.21

    Like many, I've experienced problems with devices not connection to iTunes 12.5.1.21.

    I use a Dell with Windows 10, including updates on both.

    It is really a problem that must have already been addressed by Apple.  Following the advice of aid in iTunes and on the Apple discussion Forum and managed to get my iPhone 6s to be recognized by iTunes.  After trying to get an of my being recognized by iTunes from the iPod, the iPhone will not be more connect anywhere.  None of my iPod is recognized.   It's very frustrating.

    I tried to go back and install an earlier version of iTunes, but it would not recognize the library created by the most recent version.  I uninstalled the previous version and not reinstalled the current threshold of one - no connectivity.

    On all of these work, I discovered that Device Manager displays the iPhone or iPod, but with the Device Manager still open, if you start iTunes, the devices disappear from Device Manager - as iTunes withdrew on Device Manager.

    I have an iPod diagnostic file but it seems that there is not much information about this problem.

    I hope only that some of you/us will provide some ideas on how to correct the problem.  It is the first time that I've known of Apple being so pathetic to send updates.

    If anyone has any other suggestions...

    Try the iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

  • The Lord of the rings extended editions in iTunes Store

    Do not know where to write this request...

    I'm a fan of long standing of the Lord of the rings and the Hobbit.

    As a fan, I want as much I can, and I have the extended version of the Hobbit.

    But for some reason I can't find the long version of the Lord of the rings, and they give more sense when you read the books.

    Is this really a wish or someone know how to get in iTunes DK/EU?

    I have them on DVD but I have in my store on my ATV.

    You can try to contact the Danish rights to the film holder and ask them to put them in the Danish store. You can also try to asking them through iTunes, but without the agreement of the holder of the rights, Apple will not be able to sell it: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • iTunes and Blackberry link conflicts

    Hi, link to Blackberry stopped working after the last update of iTunes in Windows 10.

    I made Blackberry suggest workaround solution, as follows:

    "Rename the file of l iTunesPrefs.xmand restart the BlackBerry link application.

    Please note: Completing the steps below may have harmful effects on the functionality of iTunes. For more information, contact Apple support.

    To rename the iTunesPrefs.xml;

    1. Turn on the Show hidden folders and files
    2. Go to \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\ < username > C:\Users\
    3. The XML in the file iTunesPrefs and rename it to iTunesPrefs.old

    Once finished, he recommends to disable display the hidden files and folders. »


    My question is, how will this affect iTunes functionality, or not at all?



    Rename iTunesPrefs.xml will reset various settings in iTunes. If your library is < user music > \iTunes default path and you have the options to keep... and copy... enabled, you may not notice a change, but the parameters that will have been reset include the active library, media folder file, sharing of XML, the import settings, etc. Check through each tab in Edit > Preferences to see if there's anything to change the way that you had it before.
