iTunes 7.6 problems

Have you tried updating Quicktime? I had to do that.

I have batteling this beast since I downloaded it when I was directed to to a new iTunes update. I am not going into how much time I have wasted and my frustration in dealing with iTunes 7.6 but I am greatly displeased with Apple at this time. So, I want to go back to iTunes 7.5 but cannot and I get an error saying something about iTunes library being configured by a newer version of iTunes so I cannont reinstall 7.5. Anyone know any hacks or any solutions? I need a solution as iTunes and my iPod are now borderline non-functioning.

Oh dang If I plug in my iPod it wont work? ouch

I am having problems as well with the update. All seems to work well on the Mac other than the f12 to eject the CD tray brings up a weird screen to print an album cover... Not sure where that is even coming from. Also yesterday I tried to purchase an album... My bank account shows 5 1$ entries and I never got the album as I continually got the error accessing the Itunes store... All in all the most problems I have ever had with Itunes.

Its weird but my iTunes store works fine. Maybe its because im still using OS X Tiger. Anyways the problem I have is that after I installed it, around 50+ songs lost links to their music files in my library so now I gotta go through them one by one and re-attach the files. I'm just hoping this isn't a suprise that happens everytime I open my iTunes.

Disabling GrowlTunes seemed to help, but iTunes still becomes unresponsive for 28 second intervals at least once per song or video. It will eventually become accessible again each time, which is certainly better than not at all...still something I cannot pinpoint though.

I just installed 7.6 and I am also having problems but I haven't been able to find anyone on here who is experiencing the same problem. I subscribe to a digital music retailer called eMusic, and iTunes won't play the samples you can listen to before purchasing. Clicking on the downloaded file opens iTunes but nothing plays. If I purchase the full songs, those play just fine. It's not on eMusic's end because I asked a friend to test it and he's not having any trouble. But he hasn't upgraded to 7.6 yet. I've never had this problem until literally a couple of hours after I upgraded. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions? I tried repairing the permissions and no change.

I'm having the same kinds of problems: iTunes hangs while playing songs. The clock and progress thing stop, no output at all, and then suddenly it'll pick up two thirds of the way through the song. Well, if I'm lucky. Sometimes I don't even get to hear the song.

Could this be a problem with the Quicktime upgrade that accompanied the iTunes upgrade? I haven't tried playing any movies yet.

Cool, I just found by unplugging my external speakers and then plugging them back in iTunes will play for about 5 seconds before cutting out again. Now, if I want to do that the rest of the day, I'm set.

I haven't been able to access the iTunes store for 2 weeks now. I've never had a problem with the store until I updated to version 7.6. It's very frustrating getting the message that your not connected to the internet when you are!!! Apple need to fix this and soon.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of discontent.

AFter my itunes start bugging out after the recent upgrade, I asked a guy at the Genius Bar at my local Apple STored for his help. He suggested rebuilding permissions (which means restarting from the Install Disk and using Disk Utilities and takes about ten minutes). Disk Utility did turn up a fair # of bad permissions relating to iTunes.
When I restarted, iTunes worked briefly, then started freaking out again. I rebuilt once more. Temporary solution.
I thought I set things off when I tried to buy an album from the iTunes Store. Could the store be the problem or is it just the first thing most folks try when they get this new upgrade? I have also found that when I update my podcasts and then my ipod things are slow and intermittent and the app appears to crash but then reurns to lfe after a long while.
Whatever the issue, I agree - APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BUG SOON! (though no one at the Apple Store reported having heard that there was a problem with iTunes so be prepared for a wait.)

PS It seems impossible to report a bug on this problem as the usual "Report a Problem" thingee doesn't show up. Does anyone know if Apple will hear our wailing and gnashing of teeth?

I am having serious problems with iTunes 7.6 as well - mine are on a PC ... it broke both the Quicktime browser plug in, and makes all playback all twitchy.

Apple PLEASE HELP !!!!!

Same problem. upgraded to 7.6 and now itunes freezes when i hit the store or play a pod cast. Reinstalled os x and lepoard, and same thing. I need HELP, and was on the phone with Apple all weekend. No luck. they said 5 -7 days to get an answer back from eng.

at first i wasnt having any problems but after a couple of hours of watching videos my itunes decided that my itunes library was damaged and delted evertign

i can just import all my music from my home folder back into itunes and then it works for another couple of hours and does the deleting thing all over again

i now have 7 damaged libraries in my itunes folder

i havnt even attempted to sync my phone with it im worried it will some how damage the software and data on it

What a mess 7.6 is!! what are they doing trying to prove that Mac can be as slow and obstacle heavy as a PC? I have a large library of music and it constantly is freezing up now with every new addition, ridiculous. Hi I'm a PC and I'm a MAC, were both screwed!

I installed the update 7.6 and then now when I go to close the application it freezes and then I have to do a control Alt Del and it shows application not responding so I click End Task and then itunes 7.6 keeps restarting so I have to restart Windows to prevent itunes from restarting. I have unistalled this program with the same outcome so at this time I can no longer use this program until apple fixes this problem. Thanks Apple you were the ones that said I needed to update to the new version.
