Q: Is it me, or are there major issues with iTunes update 10.4.0.80?

Okay....so that was kind of a beating in terms of being cumbersome.  BUT (cross my fingers) it appears to have worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 

Dear Apple,

I just wanted to thank you for asking me to update to the newest iTunes version so that when I used it my laptop morphed into a paperweight!

It's not us, it's definately iTunes! When I start it, I can't start the shop, it slows down my whole computer, when I try to synch my iPhone, it freezes the computer. Yesterday it worked very well and I thougt I've got it (I made a repair before), but today it's the same again. Can't really synch my iPhone!! Hello???? I use it for business, so I think after all i read in all the threads, Apple should hurry up!

Hi Booger,

I have a similar laptop configuration and would like to try your approach. Can you tell me if your backed up you iTunes and other Apple related data first? If you did I would appreciate it if you could tell me which folders contained this data.

Many thanks

It would appear you don't need to delete anything other than uninstalling all the Apple software, then re-installing iTunes (or at least that's how I did it)

This is what I got after uninstalling all Apple software and trying to download itunes

Our apologies but there was an unexpected error with the application. This problem has been noted, and an email has been sent to the administrators. Please check back in a few hours to try the download again.

I am having MAJOR problems with iTunes....NOT HAPPY AT ALL right now!  I cannot even get it to open on my computer.  Never have I ever had this problem until I installed the lastest software the other day.  I just purchased a movie and wanted to get the digital copy on my iTunes so I could put the movie on my iPad well I can't even do that.  I AM NOT HAPPY! I hope they solve this problem really soon!

Just want to add another example of missing backup function on iTunes 10.4.0.80. Not only is the function missing, but there is no no mention of "backup" in the iTunes help file. i can understand the possibility of a bug, but removing all mention of backup all together is something else. Has anyone determined if this was an intentional change, or a bug?

It's not you.

Judging from the discussion board, there seems to be a lot of us out here.

iTunes crashes when I try to update one of my podcasts.  I uninstalled and reinstalled 3x to no avail.  Uninstalling Safari was no help either.

Apple phone support was was a bust..

Hope a fix comes soon

Same here......cant connect iTunes store and synch my iPhone after updated the new iTunes version.....

I notice there is a load more people with this problem than me. Error Code 42408. iTunes store won't open, can't authorize my account after getting my iPod replaced, even before that. Can'tt back up my iPod. More problems as well. Is this All due to the new iTunes update? Any help from Anyone bar re-installing iTunes, de-authorizing etc would be majorly grateful.

hey, has anyone noticed anything weird with the way voice memos sync (when itunes doesnt crash)?!

it used, i believe it did, to sync voice memos to computer. and the check box used to work, to either chose if i wanted to sync them or not. now it always syncs (no matter the checkbox status) and gets the voice memos on the music tab (1st on the left), and i strongly believe it didnt. so when ur shuffling some music you'll listen to your voice memos in the midle....

can anyone confirm this is the way its supposed to be!? i dont think so but i'm not really 100% sure of the way it was before.

plus, if you delete a voice memo on computer it stays on ipad or iphone, but there's no chance to get it back tocomputer again since the checkboxes for the "voice memos" syncing dont work

Three days ago I installed 10.4.0.80 and had some problem. Some error code I cannot remember. I did what it told me and that was to do some reset. After that it seems to be ok except for the Home Sharing. I cannot see two of my Windows 7 computers, my Windows Home Server and another WIFI Share device. I can see my IMac. The IMac sees all four. One of my other systems sees three devices, My IMac, Home Server and Wifi Share, but not my main system. This all happened after the upgrade. Is there an easy way to roll back the upgrade? or is there a fix?

I ran into the same problem

Windows xp pro, itunes 10.4 and both an ipod and an iPhone, none of which would since or even move beyond the boot  up screen.

Followed the link to uninstall every apple product, then reboot, then reinstall itunes (and Bonjour and Airport) and it all seems to work as before.

Are we ALL beta testers for this?

I too am having major problems with WinXP and iTunes 10.4 - mainly in the form of 100% CPU and complete non responsiveness from the machine for 5-10 minutes! (mine is a capable dual core intel with and SSD). 

I ran a Repair type installation which [I thought] fixed the issue, but after next restart it was back.

I had the same problem,

But after Followed the link,everything got back to normal .

My notebook is window 7 (32 bit).
