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

I'm sorry guys but get with it. It's 2011. Centralisation is everywhere.

Doesn't mean we have to like it!  Sounds like assimilation is inevitable!

I came here due to that specific issue.  If I press space bar to play/pause it is skipping the song back.  I've noticed that the "back" button in iTunes is highlighted when this happens, but through no effort on my part.  The back button is randomly highlighted and selected when I minimize iTunes via Shift+Command+M.

I can't paste in album art either.  On WIn7 64-bit.

I don't have any problem with iTunes store and stuff but when I paste the album cover in the artwork section, all I get is black box T___T

I've tried to uninstall and re-install but the same thing still happens.

Apple needs to release a new version or something to fix this prob!!!

After downloading iTunes 10.4, neither my iPod Classic nor iPad 2 will sync.

To D528.  Thanks.   On my Windows XP system, I followed the uninstall all Apple and reinstall steps (except  step 8) in your OKAY HERE IS THE FIX note above.   Apparently I missed deleting Safari on the first pass, so had an extra cycle to get that out and to then one to get MobileMe.  Windows XP doesn't have the Publisher sort in the add/delete list,

iTunes is now working.  Have access to the store.  No CPU hogging.   Have not reinstalled Safari. 

Though just got an IE Sync Client encountered a problem pop-up.  

iPad and iPod nano seemed to sync with no problem.

I didn't have to go the preferences to do those settings suggested - it came to me.

To D528. Thanks from me, too. Have just tried your instructions "lite" (that is, without de-installing/re-unstalling). The overall situation seemed better (that is, no computer freezing). I tried to load iTunes older version, because I was afraid to download the ill-fated 10.4. It loaded successfully but, again, I was not able to connect to its services and, consequently, to authorize my iPad.

After attempting to connect to the iTunes store the iTunes window (but not the computer) freezes, as well as the Internet Explorer. But Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox work just fine. I have not tried Safari being afraid to deal with Apple products.

After shutting down the computer, the DDE Server Window error appeared again.

Now I am going to follow your instructions "full-version". Will report.

To refactor. Could you tell whether, after de-installing, you installed the iTunes 10.4 version or an older one? Thank you.

Late last evening, my son must have installed the update and now we cannot access itunes store either.

After the de-install, I installed the current version, iTunes 10.4.0.80. 

It is on the downloads page at   http://support.apple.com/downloads/

as iTunes 10.4

Thanks so much for the help. I went ahead and uninstalled every single Apple program.Went to apple page, downloaded iTunes again and finally we can access iTunes store again.

I had the same problem, but Apple would not respond to me.  I finally removed ALL programs from my computer and then rebooted it and downloaded the iTunes program 10.4.8 (the current one) from the website and reinstalled it.  Now everything is back to normal.  I don't know why Apple could not tell us to do that.

I uninstalled everything (took a while), rebooted. Then installed 10.3 and followed a procedure that I found somewhere here that included going back to an older library file. Now it all seems to be working reasonably well. I will wait until 10.5 (or 10.4.X) comes out to upgrade.

Let me clarify my reply..It should read "I removed all APPLE programs from my computer.  NOT "I remove ALL programs"  I'm sorry about that.
