ITunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7

iTunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7  on iTunes startup.  My current page is the iTunes Store, and I see iTunes start up, and the progress bar on the top line shows "Accessing iTunes Store..." with the stripy progress bar moving for about 10 seconds.  Then it stops moving and the whole application hangs, with the Windows 7 spinner telling me to wait.  No Windows controls work (I can't close the window or stop the application).  At this point, I have to either reboot or use Task Manager to kill iTunes.  No amount of waiting works, and uninstall / reinstall iTunes does not resolve the issue.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Iphone hangs up windows xp

    When I try to connect Iphone to the coputer it hangs up windows XP Pro. I am running Itune7.5.0.20. I activated the Iphone successfully. But now when I try to connect it to the computer inorder to Sync Calendar and Phone directory it hangs up the Windows. One of the Apple Sales Rep mentioned that he had the same problem and had to uninstall the Norten security program. I had to reset the Iphone before I could connect again. I will appreciate any hints to resolve this issue and reports of similar experience. [email protected]

    This Windows OS issue doesn't really seem like its related to the iPhone or iTunes. You can find some general tips here, but you may want to check the Microsoft support site or contact the PC manufacturer.
    Try restarting the PC after removing any CDs or floppy disks from it.

  • Is there a downloadable iTunes Version Available for OS Windows ME?

    Is there a downloadable iTunes Version Available for OS Windows ME? If so, please let me know. Here is the situation.
    I would like to import some classical music that I have in my Windows Media Player to iTunes so that I could burn the music to a CD.I am unable to burn the music in the WMP program because the Adaptec Easy Cd Creator is not compatible with the newer version of the WMP. Also, the Roxio program is not available for the older version of Windows ME. Any help would be appreciated in this matter.
    Thank you.

    If there is, folks running OS 8 and previous who hang out here might not know about it. But folks in the iTunes for Windows forum probably used to run it, and can help out a lot:

    In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".  Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.
    Hope it helps you too.

  • How do you remove itunes and everything saved to windows through itunes?

    i want to completely delete all of the information thay has been saved to my laptop through itunes such as apps, music contacts,actually i want to remove everthing, and start from scratch with new apple ID and password for all the apple services?

    When I run the iTunes installer now, it hangs\freezes when it gets to "Registering modules."
    hmmmmm. by any chance do you have SpyCatcher (or the version of GhostSurf platinum that contains SpyCatcher) on that PC?
    if so, try uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to the itunes install. if it goes through properly this time, launch itunes at least once prior to reinstalling SpyCatcher.

  • ITunes 7.5 hangs during CD playback - OS X

    I posted the below last night. Today while checking for followups, I found that it was under Windows version of iTunes (even though a couple other posters may be referring to OS X as well based on their signature) My comments are for only for Mac.

    Re: itunes 7.5 hangs during cd download preview
    Posted: Nov 30, 2007 10:46 PM
    I am having the same problem on 2 different G5 Dual PPC systems running 7.5. This occurs when playing commercial (redbook) CDs..... during CD playback iTunes stalls after the 2nd song (usually at time marker 0:02). I have no problem playing back any music already in my iTunes library (99% AIFF format). Something is up with this version! Please correct it asap. thanks.

    When I searched I missed this thread: Problem Playing CDs in iTunes 7.5 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1225880&tstart=0 which has the solution/fix. Seems to be the "Use Error Correction when reading audio CDs" setting in the Advanced >Importing iTunes preferences. The other solutions deleted plist files which essentially reset the preferences to default which has Use Error Corrections off.
    I am listening to a CD now which did not stall at the normal track location.
    I have to confirm that a CD does not stall when ripping(import CD) with the Use Error Correction setting ON.

  • ITunes 11.1 hangs when connecting to iCloud. How can I download 11.0.5?

    Arrrrgh! iTunes 11.1 hangs on my system Windows 7 x64 when trying to connect to iCloud. It runs fine if I start it in safe mode (I have no third party plug-ins installed).
    How do I download iTunes 11.0.5???? I've been searching on the Internt for the last 1/2 hour and it looks like Apple prevents users from downloading 11.0 once 11.1 (piece of crap) is out. WHY?????????

    Hi,
    I've been able to resolve the problem of iTunes crashing by emptying the SycServices folder - by following the steps described at the foot of this comment. I've also been able to sync my iPhone contacts with my Address Book ...but I cannot sync my Address Book with Outlook 2011 ...  and thus my iPhone linking to Outlook 2011.
    I'm aware that 'Sync Services' were depreciated in 10.8 and was hoping that this would be restored in full in v: 10.9.3. I understand that MicroSoft needs Sync Services to be reintroduced into the OS to enable the sync to work again for linking up with Outlook 2011 - which appear to be blank in my Sync Services preferences window as follows ....
    I would be mighty grateful for any ideas/solutions on how to resolve this problem. Synching Outlook 2011 with my iPhone was so easy in the past!
    Simon

    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

  • How do I install iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows Vista?

    I've been trying for some time to install iTunes on my computer for some time now.  As I'm sure you're aware, the iPod Touch currently requires 10.5.3 in order to operate.  Here are the issues I've been having:
    After the I run the Setup and the iTunes Installer starts to run, this message pops up maybe two minutes into the process:
    An error occured during the installation of assembly
    'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32".version="8.0.50727.
    6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9alel8e3b",processo
    rArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support
    for more information.  HRESULT: 0x80070002
    I click Okay, and the installation process continues, up until the Status bar reads "Starting Services," at which point:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device)
    failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges
    to start the system services.
    Clicking "Retry" yields the same result, clicking "Ignore" skips to the end of the installation process, and clicking "Abort" rolls back the process and restarts at a certain point, until the end of the installation.  I get the "Congratulations!" screen, click "Finish" to exit the installer, but when iTunes tries to start up:
    Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application support is required to run iTunes. Please
    uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times.  I have restarted the computer after uninstalling and waited to reinstall.  Nothing seems to work.  All of this is exactly what occurs and quite frankly, it's more trouble than it's worth.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know ASAP.

    The forums for members of Apple's developer programs are here:
    http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
    If you're not doing development yourself, I would advise against installing either iTunes 10.5 or especially iOS 5. Both are beta software and almost certainly have faults and incomplete features. You definitely should not install iOS 5 on any device you depend on for general use.
    Regards.

  • Why will itunes not install on my windows 8.1 machines

    I've tried 4 times to install iTunes on a new Sony windows 8.1 machine but it keeps telling me that the program is incompatible.  I have been using iTunes for years and had it on my old machine running Win 7.  With win 8.1 I keep getting error msgs that the program is incompatible.  Once it did install but when I tried to use it the first time I got an error that the program was shutting down and that windows would look for a solution.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I'm going through the threads to find a solution to my 8.1 problem as well but while I am here I will share what I have come across in the forums:
    1. Right click the installation file and run it into compatibility mode for Windows 7
    OR
    2. This user replied to someone else (which looks like a similar question):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24285339#24285339
    It talks about moving a .dll file.
    *Note this .dll thing worked for me with an earlier problem and I had seen it on another forum. It seems to work for a LOT of people with 8.1
    Good luck!

    I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode.  Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed.  I forget what those tests were called.
    I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

  • Current iTunes MSVCR80.dll, Error 7 (windows error 126): SOLVED.

    Dear avid iTunes users - I have cracked it!!!
    The response from Apple/iTunes was extremely poor and did not solve the problem.
    I have a look in msconfig and observed which applications/services were running - one of which was the 'Apple Application Support'
    So ... I had a look at what was in this folder and found the APS Daemon.exe file causing all the trouble.
    So ... I simply deleted the Apple folder found in C:\program files\common files\.
    I did a restart and did not get the MSCVCR80.dll or Error 7 (windows 126) error messages.
    I reinstalled the current version of iTunes (for the 16th time!)
    Hey presto!!!
    IT WORKED :-O Woooohooo!!!
    So ... to all those smarty-pants boffin-brianiacs out there (apple/iTunes): this is how you do it!!!!!!!!!!
    YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNINSTALL ALL THE APPLE/QUICKTIME OR RELATED PROGRAMS - JUST DELETE THE APPLE FOLDER IN THE C:\PROGRAM FILES DIRECTORY.
    Nuff said.
