Exporting some songs to iTunes freezes the whole computer

I'm having a new problem with GB. I have about a dozen songs I've been working with recently, recording, editing, and exporting to iTunes. For some reason, while 10 of the songs export without any problem, two of the songs cause GB to freeze. What's more, not only GB but also the Finder freezes, as do any other applications that I try afterward. I can't even Force Quit -- nothing happens. The only thing I can do is to press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds and start all over again.
The songs play without any problem within GB, and all are simple piano tunes with a single track. I'm running this all on an iBook G4 running system X.4, which isn't supposed to freeze like this at all. Any ideas what the problem could be, or how I could go about fixing it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Christoph,
Thank you for your suggestion. I gave it a try. Unfortunately, the problem still remains exactly as before -- exporting to iTunes gets started, and about two-thirds of the way through the "creating mixdown" phase everything freezes. Any other suggestion? I'm not a particularly sophisticated Mac user, so even something obvious I would likely not have tried.

Aperture freezes the whole computer

I have Aperture 3. I can use all the preset adjusments and run through the whole program no problem but i have an issue where every time i go to use a brush tool for a short amount of time it freezes the whole computer to the point where i have to force shut down. I have a Macbook pro 15" Retina with 8gb RAM, 250gb SSD, Intel Hd Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 (so the lower end MBPR). I have created new libraries and i have reinstalled the most recent update but it still does it. I was told by my AV teacher who is a Mac Genius to create a new account on my computer and run it through that account and i did and it seems to be fine. how do i fix it on my regular account? what could be wrong? help and advice would be great! Thanks!

Try to find the differences between your regular account and the new account where Aperture works.
Compare your preference settings in Aperture.
Check your start-up items in in the Users&Groups panel. Do you use different start up items when logging in?
Have you installed any software, that is only used in your account and not installed for all users, like Cameras of Flexibit?
Make sure your Aperture library is in working condition. Crashes can have left it corrupted, so use the Aperture Library first Aid Tools to repair the permissions and the database, see:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
SInce the problem is restricted to your account, remove the User preferences from the User Library, if none of the above fixed the problem, see teh paragraph on preferences in
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
and if that does not suffice, remove the presets.

Aperture 3 freezes the whole computer

Upgrading to AP3 has been for me rather an obvious step. Yesterday I downloaded the trial version. It created a new library. I created a new test project, imported some 50 RAWs and started playing with it.
EVERY TIME I use AP3 during making adjustments, geotagging or processing faces AP3 freezes the whole machine. At some point it displays "Processing...", spins for some time, then the spinning freezes, mouse freezes, the whole machine freezes. I cannot quit AP3, cannot do anything, just have to power down using the power button.
Is this normal for my machine? Is my computer too slow? Am I doing anything wrong?
I am now wondering if I should buy the upgrade at all!
Wondering what your experiences are?
PG

I have found this hint 2 days ago:
http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/02/15/problems-with-aperture-crashes-use-appz apper/
I followed the procedure. Then installed AP3 again, let it create a new library (this is still the Trial) and imported again +/-50 RAWs.
I have not been able to crash AP or the system so far. Faces enabled, tried geotagging, adjustments, brushes etc.
I have to confess I ordered the upgrade yesterday so I can see if the library upgrade works fine as well.
Try it for yourself,
Tonden

Why does my iPhoto freeze the whole computer when editing?

Every time I edit in iPhoto, the whole computer freezes after about a dozen adjustments of any kind. I have to manually shut down and restart as no key commands allow access to any other app or the Finder.

Hi, Terence ~
I'm using iPhoto '11, v. 9.1.5
with ± 5,000 photos in current iPhoto Library
running SnowLeopard, 10.6.8 --
capacity: 750 GB; available 695 GB
on my Mac mini >>>
Model Identifier:          Macmini1,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed:          1.66 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          2 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          MM11.0055.B08
SMC Version (system):          1.3f4
The freezing has been happening for quite some time, since before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, before I upgraded to iPhoto '11 from iPhoto '09, before I upgraded my mac mini from a solo ore machine to a duo core with much more HD space, etc. I think it started when I first installed iPhoto '09 , but my memory fails me. I have had other events interspersed with this recurring annoyance, hoping that it would go away during one of the upgrades I mentioned. However, it persists. I have wondered about reinstalling iPhoto, but do not know if that means I will lose all my editing changes.
I do not know about any Console messages you refer to, but perhaps I am missing something. How would I find out? I do know that I am exhausted and frustrated by this. When the editing process causes the freezing, I cannot use any of the key escapes, cannot even shut down other than manually. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you for taking an interest in my dilemma.

I paid for some songs on iTunes using the gift card I got but it also charged my credit card?

So I got a iTunes $20 gift card from a friend and I correctly redeemed the card an I started buying some songs which took away some of the credit of the iTunes account but then a couple days later my credit card was also charged for buying those songs. Is this normal?

None for payment
After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".

I RECENTLY BOUGHT SOME SONGS FROM ITUNES BUT THE SOUND QUALITY WAS REALLY BAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO?

i bought some songs yesterday that i really liked but when i was listening the sound quality was really bad. it just ruined the song almost. i am not sure what to do about it.

You might try listening to the songs from other devices or systems to make sure it doesn't have to do with your computer specifically.
Also try to preview the songs from your computer and any other devices if possible to see if the preview sounds any different.
If you're still having issues you should contact iTunes support:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Once you get there, choose Music Purchases from the list, then choose Music Purchases again, and it will let you Email them directly about the issue.
Give them the names of the songs you bought and as detailed a description of the audio issue as possible.

ITunes freezes the computer before it comes up, so I have to pull the plug

I've tried everything I can think of-checking the system, uninstalling it then reinstalling it, but nothing seems to work. It just freezes the whole computer to the point where I can't even use Control Alt Delete to get out of it. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Oh, and I have and XP if that helps.

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password. HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password. How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

My e-mail has changed, but I purchashed some songs in iTunes using my old e-mail address as my account name... so when I try to play the sonngs I bought and paid for - it keeps asking me to authorize my PC first, but I don't remember the password!

And since the old e-mail address is no longer active, I can't even chenge the password- becasue it's sends the link to do so via e-mail! Even when I use the "ask personal questions" option to verify and it asks me for my date of birth, I put it in and it still won't acccept.

I have the latest version of Itunes but it freezes my whole computer when it starts up

I have the latest version of Itunes but it freezes my whole computer when it starts up. I have installed/reintalled Itunes but it still stops my whole computer when I start Itunes.

OK, so we rule out LSP then,
Try following steps one at a time and test your itunes:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator", now try your itunes.
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device. I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete. Some titles are black and some are gray.

I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device. I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete. Some titles are black and some are gray.

let's just doublecheck some things quickly. do any of the affected songs play in itunes at the moment? if so, when you play them, do they ask to be authorised?
if so, does the authorisation go through successfully, or do you get an error message? (if you get an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the authorisation seems to go through successfully, with the authorised songs sync to the ipod?

Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
Thanks,
Jule

Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain. Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8... I'll try 01, 02...
Probably a good idea.
The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs. Then, iPod locks up.
Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What is the original source for these tracks? Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?
