ITunes 10.5.3.3 hangs when starting

Upgraded to 10.5.3.3 on a Windows PC which hadm until that point, been working very well (for a PC anyway). After update to iTunes I struggle to get iTunes running at home. Have to go to Task Manager to End Task on iTunes and try again. And again. And often again. Eventually I get it to start up but am not doing anything different each time. Sometimes the iTunes window doesn't even appear and other times it does appear but I get a never-ending sand timer when I hover over it. Oddly I have never had the iTunes start-up problem at work, only at home.
As an additional, possibly related problem, Outlook is now a pain to start up too.
I really should learn that iTunes updates always cause complications so will likely wait 6 months before updating!
Any bright sparks out there want to hazard a guess as to what's going on.

  • RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

    Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
    In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.
    Global Resource Directory frozen
    Communication channels reestablished

    Thanks in advance.

    I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
    My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

  • PS Hangs When Starting

    PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
    Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

    Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
    Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
    You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

  • SAP system hang when start the addon.

    Dear Expert,
    I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
    Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
    Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
    Addon started manually.
    After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
    If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mat

    Hi Bala,
    I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
    But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
    I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
    I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
    Any one face this problem?
    Regards,

  • So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started

    So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started
    anybody know why aslmanager needs 99% of CPU and 2+ GB footprint?

    ok, i found a solution that worked for me. this may or may not be the problem you are having but give this a shoot. i think in my case the asl database got corrupted. unline tiger and below this database is not stored in asl.db in leopard. in leopard, the entire /var/log/asl directory is the database. so to remove the database and start from scratch, you need to
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
    sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/tmp (you might as well use rm but i wanted to be safe)
    sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
    For good measure I also ran the maintenance scripts:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    My machine has been dead quiet for hours now. darn, it's back to the kitchen for making my toast.
    so, what did we learn? Mac, PC - same thing; both are great until you have problems. only with pc's you have a lot more resources to tap into...

  • ITunes 9.0.2 crashes/hangs when syncing

    I bought a 64GB iPod Touch this October, and at first all was well. Since I updated iTunes I have no longer been able to sync my iPod. I'm running iTunes 9.0.2 now, and it works fine until I connect my iPod, at which point iTunes hangs. I don't even hit the "Sync" button, it just hangs as soon as it tries to recognize the iPod. I have let the beach ball spin for an hour without any progress, and forcing it quit is the only way out of the app. In another thread it was suggested that Genius playlists might be at fault, but I had not turned them on. (I did turn them on, and then off again, to see if that might fix it for some unknown reason. It didn't.)
    Thankfully I can still charge my iPod, but I would really like to be able to sync it again.
    I'm running a MacBook (purchased in May 2006 when they had that run of discolored palm rests) with OSX 10.4.11 Tiger.
    Can anyone help me out?

    I have a similar issue. It looks like my iTunes (v. 9.0.2) crashes every time it attempts to connect to the itunes store/download a podcast. When I disconnect myself from the Internet there are no problems (other then not being able to connect to the Internet... which is not really an option).
    Anyone have the solution to this? My next step is to reinstall iTunes. I'll post an update if this works.

  • Windows 2003 R2 Server hangs when starting Oracle 9.2 service

    Hi,
    I've been having an error with an Oracle 9.2.0.7 installation where the server will hang to the point where it needs to be powered off as it is completely unresponsive. It hangs when I start the Oracle service.
    I've tried installing the system from scratch a few times(OS, OS patches, Oracle 9.2, Oracle 9.2.0.7 Patch set, Database) a few times however I keep having this same issue issue. I had the system running properly up until yesterday and I thought the issue was SP2 for Windows 2003 as I didn't patch the OS before installing everything however it is happening again now.
    The listener is started and I can't even connect to an Idle instance through SQLPlus when this happens. I just get a TNS Listener error which I will list below. SInce this keeps happening, I'm wondering if it may be a hardware issue (Installed on an HP ML350) but I'm also wondering if it may be SP2 for WIndows 2003 server and was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I havne't found anything in the forum nor on Google so I thought I'd post here.
    Here are the last entries in the DB log when it hangs;

    Hi,
    Since the server locks up when the service is starting, it's hard to determine how high it gets but after it starts, it quickly gets up to around 277MB and just stays there.
    I was thinking it may be a memory issue as well as it displays the symptoms of a "light speed" memory leak. I had 4GB of memory in the server and realized that WIndows 2003 only saw 3.5GB so I decided to remove 1 GB but that didn't make a difference.
    How would I go about ensuring that the memory consumption on my DB server does not get swapped much?

  • Hang when starting JDev in Win2k server...

    I've searched this forum and in fact quite a lot posts are saying that they have the same problem. When starting the JDeveloper in windows 2000, after loading the addins it hangs and leaving the splash screen alone :) Many replies said JDeveloper 3.1.1.2 is win2k certified. Ok, here is another unsuccessful case, here is the config of my machine:
    PII 333 192MB Ram
    Windows 2000 server SP1 installed
    MS Visual Studio SP4
    MS Office 2000 Sevice Release 1a
    Default IE version bundled with windows 2000
    JRE 1.3 international version
    System locale: English (United States)
    Installed Languages:
    Western Europe and United States (Default)
    Traditional Chinese
    Simplified Chinese
    Japanese
    And I haven't install any Oracle database and OCI yet. I can say my system config is "clean" enough as all softwares are new installation with most updated patch. And when I set the default language to others (eg. trad. chin.) the JDev even cannot start (only hanged minimized icon in task bar without loading addins and splash screen), therefore I here provide my langauge settings. Thank you in advance in any help and suggestions

    Alan,
    This may not be of much use to you, but all the same I am running JDeveloper3.0 (although this version is not certified for Win2K!!!) on Windows 2000 server with success.
    My system config is
    HP Brio Pentium III 600 Mhtz.
    316 (256 + 64) MB RAM
    Installed Softwares :
    Oracle 8.1.5 Enterprise Edition
    JDeveloper 3.0
    Rational Rose 2000e Enterprise Edition
    IBM WebSphere Application Server 3.0
    Visual Age for Java 3.5 Advanced Edition
    IBM HTTP Server V1.3.6.2
    No problems till now.
    However, I do get some problems with DAC forms in the Design mode - JDev simpler exits!!!But I can counter that by recompiling my projects and then switching in the Design mode for the DAC form
    Other than this there is no serious problems

    Hi all,
    When i try to start iTunes from the dock i always get the error -50.
    I'm also using OSX Lion 10.7 beta.
    I have the same problem with iTunes 10.3, only 10.2 works fine, but i already updated my iPhone to iOS 5 beta, so i'm not able to use 10.2 anymore.
    I've searched a lot of this problem on google and stuff but i only found solutions for this error while downloading a video or something else, but not when starting iTunes.
    Please can someone help me?

  • Photoshop (CS3) Hangs When Started

    I just purchased PS CS3 and after spending an entire evening and morning getting to the point where the software asked for my serial number, I still have not gotten anything other than a PS window and an hourglass cursor with the window indicating that Adobe Photoshop CS3 is not responding. I am running Windows XP with all the Windows updates installed. I get the same result with the version right off the DVD or after having dowloaded and installed all the updates to the various components. I did many installs finally using the CS3 cleanup script at level 3 and this allowed me to enter my SN.
    If I look at the application event log in XP I can see the following:
    Hanging application Photoshop.exe, version 10.0.1.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
    I looked through the forum and did not see the exact problem in other posts. Is there a switch that can be used with Photoshop.exe to log the application startup?
    Any help would be appreciated. I am starting to think I made a terrible mistake buying this software based on using an older version years ago.
    Thanks,
    John

    I am also trying to install CS3 on my computer and I have the same problem. I am using Windows Vista. After installing, the application hangs also just as described. I have contacted customer service who told me to uninstall and reinstall. I did and it continues to hang when opening. I contacted customer service and they told me to uninstall and reinstall. Did so and it hangs.
    Several customer service of uninstall, download CS3 from website, and still hangs.
    After several days I was referred to technical support, they had me uninstall and reinstall. The application still hangs with technical support on phone. After 2 hours on the phone, we were still creating new users, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing msconfig and still hanging.
    Finally I was told by tech support to uninstall and reinstall again but you guessed it, it was close to closing for tech support and was told I would have to call back.
    Waited until Saturday and you guessed it, tech support is only available Mon thru Friday. I have to work to pay for programs like this and can't take off during the week right now to spend all day with tech support.
    I never saw and answer to the post as to what steps to take to correct it from hanging.
    anyone else have same problem or can resolve it?

  • ITunes 10.4.1 freeze (hang) when webradio stream drop out for any reason.

    Hello,
    My iTunes freeze (hang) when any webradio stream drop out for any reason; e.g. when ISP renews the IP, the radio station has limited the stream duration (as some do) per connection or wireless is cut off e.g. by closing the lid of the MacBook.
    I've to force Quit then iTunes. If I wait (up to an hour for testing) no hung or crash report get generated, iTunes still stay unresponsive.
    System: MacBook Pro 2011
    OS: OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    iTunes version: 10.4.1 (10)
    iTunes 3rd Party add-on's: None
    Any ideas out there?
    Cheers - Lupunus

    I will commiserate. I have this same issue. In some cases, the stream will stop and restart after 15-30 seconds; repeat. In other cases, the stream will stop, and iTunes will switch to the last radio station in that playlist. Then that station will play for a few minutes, and stop, and sometimes restart. But usually iTunes will hang (spinning beach ball) and must be force-quit.
