SYNC My iTunes not working with updated Podcast app

[jalocker]

Hi,

 

Over the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to run the SYNC My iTunes utility at all. It keeps producing the error message, "iTunes is busy. Please close SYNC My iTunes and try again later". I've been able to use this utility without much trouble since I purchased my Fusion in 2010, but ever since Apple's latest update of their Podcasts app, the utility won't run.

 

Has anyone else seen this problem?

 

I listen to a lot of frequently-updated podcasts so typically I have to run this utility daily. Right now the title info displayed on the dash doesn't always match up with the actual podcasts; I expect that problem to get worse as more podcasts arrive.

 

Perhaps I could update the XML file manually, or I could even write my own script to accomplish the same task, but I don't know what all the utility did. Does there exist anywhere a guide as to what SYNC My iTunes actually did?

I've had this a couple times, and if I remember correctly here is what fixed it:

 

From iTunes menu, 'Edit', 'Preferences', 'Store' tab, then UN-check 'Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' and click 'OK'

 

Then run Sync My iTunes again and see if it now runs OK...

I have the same problem. Un-checking ''Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' and re-running Sync My iTunes results in the same error.
