ITunes 11 not responding constantly

Upgraded to iTunes 11 over the weekend and now everytime I try adding to a playlist or search library, iTunes just crashes with a spinning wheel. I have to force quit iTunes as it says not responding constantly. I restart and it does the same thing over and over. My iTunes is now unusable. Please help?

Same thing is happening on my iMac running 10.8.2, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
I can't even use iTunes very well anymore. It keeps freezing and crashing and I have to restart, and the same thing happens over and over. I'm uber frustrated.

  • I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

    - Try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Next try a different computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

  • I downloaded the 64bit Itunes, yet as soon as it loads, itunes it not responding. what can I do to fix this?

    I downloaded the 64bit version on itunes, yet when I try to run it itune will not respond. What do I do about this?

    What is the problem? We cant help if you dont tell us what the problem is.
    Do you get an error message? Do you plug the devices in and nothing happens? Is content not syncing?
    Can you elaborate more please?

  • ITunes 8 not responding

    When I open iTunes 8 it looks like it starts "Genius - Gathering information about your library" and it starts downloading something. Then it immediately hangs. The task manager says iTunes is not responding. I cannot make windows vista kill the process. When I reboot, Vista hangs on logout (only when iTunes is hung). I have to do a hard power cycle.
    I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 8 but that didn't help. I've tried letting it go overnight to see if iTunes was just busy, but that didn't help.
    The impact is that I simply can't use iTunes since it's always hung.
    Any advice?

    Well. You bumped your post so I just saw it. You are no longer alone. ; )
    Security software can certainly make itunes hinky!
    You mentioned itunes went back to the default location, not using G: any more. That can happen if itunes doesn't see G: when it starts. Always make sure your G: drive is operational BEFORE starting itunes.
    Better yet, assign it a permanent drive letter of G: in Windows. Windows has a nasty habit of changing drive letters on you depending what you've plugged into USB ports. Your exHD could suddenly become H: and itunes will lose all the music paths.

  • ITunes is not responding after transferring files to iPod Touch

    I upgraded iTunes to iTunes 8.2.0.23 last week. I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB) running v. 2.2.1. Since upgrading iTunes, after copying new files onto my iPod Touch, both iTunes and the Touch indicate "Syncing in progress" for several minutes after the files have been copied. Eventually, the Touch's screen will stop displaying the syncing message and turn itself off but iTunes stays on "Syncing in progress". I am unable to eject the Touch (although I know I don't have to). In fact iTunes is completely locked up. When I go to the Windows Task Manager, it shows that iTunes is not responding. I end the task there and it closes iTunes. This happens every time I add new files to the Touch.
    I've read in various discussion pages about similar problems occuring but they all involve Version 3.0 Touch's or iPhones. Perhaps this is something particular with iTunes 8.2.0.23. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The issue was, I store my music on my Windows Home Server and had my iTunes library connected to it over the network. When I transferred my music locally to my computer, the issue stopped. So, I guess the answer is, don't sync your iTunes library from a Windows Home Server.

  • My iTunes on my Mac won't open. The dreaded colored wheel of death keeps spinning but nothing happens. When i hit force quit it shows iTunes as "not responding". Help please.

    Help. When i open iTunes the dreaded wheel of doom keeps spinning but itunes wont open or allow me to do anything. When i force quit it shows itunes as "not responding".

    You need a firewire cable (6 pin to 4 pin). These are very cheap online if you Google, or you can find at Radio Shack etc.

  • Overdrive Media Console/iPhone Problem Resolved-"iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status.

    I could not download books from Overdrive Media Console from my iMac desktop. I realized if I turned off iTunes Match in my iphone, it fixed the problem. On your iphone...Go to "Setting", scroll down to "Music" and turn off iTunes Match. i Tunes match is a music subscription service that I had purchased a few weeks ago. I could not figure out when I tried to download audiobooks from Overdrive I got the following message "iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status". Problem solved. I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same problem!

    I'm assuming you are talking about audiobooks and if so, just download all the parts in overdrive media console then locate them in your finder. Go into Itunes and go File > Add new files to Library. Go select all the mp3s and upload them onto your library. Sync your iPhone with it and that is what has worked for me Hope this helps!

  • Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

    Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
    Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks.  Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time.  It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.).  In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second.  This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second.  Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly.  Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable.  Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen.  I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background.  Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks).  My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background. 
    I really don't understand:
    1.  Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file.  Even converting a single track takes a few minutes.  I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
    2.  Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking."  It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
    3.  Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running?  I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
    I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes).  However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer.  Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change.  I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

    Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
    As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

  • ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

    I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

    Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

  • ITunes is not responding!

    Ever since this past friday iTunes has not been responding. I will open it, and nothing looks different about it. Except, you can't click on anything (and my computer is not frozen).
    So, i go down to the task bar, right click on iTunes, and select close. Then a message telling me the program is not responding pops up and i click end now. Windows says it is trying to find a solution to the problem but it never does.
    I have tried restarting my computer, opening iTunes with nothing else open, waiting to see if it's just loading, but nothing works. Help!

    hey b! whats up?! I have discovered a pattern! for anyone who is experiencing this same problem... if you try to modify the information on a group of videos you must do it one by one and when the video is playing... if you try to modify them all at once it will freeze.
    This is basically what I have found out... I don't know how to get itunes back to normal but at least I can more or less control de situation...
    Thanks!!!!
