Itunes "Freeze" when i try to Import music AND putting it on to my Iphone

When i try to put Mp3's from my collection into itunes it imports some songs and then crashes on the same files. I then have to exclude these folders when im putting the music into itunes. THEN, when i try to put music from the music library to my Iphone 3gs 16gb the same thing happes, but with different songs. when i get it to sync, it does so until i reaches a spesific song, then it just tries syncing that song forever and finally the whole program crashes. What can i do?

Changed how? Did you update the Apple ID with a new email address or create a new Apple ID?
Keep in mind that content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
If you created a new Apple ID, stop using it immediately.

Itunes freezes when I try to play music video or tv show - bought on Itunes

Hi everyone,
I've been using iTunes since Christmas and it has been working smoothly enough until today.
Today I've had my PC upgraded. I don't know much about computers but apparently there's twice as much space as there used to be and better graphics. I tried testing this by playing a tv show from on iTunes but it didn't work. Whether it's a music video or tv show, anything that requires 'watching' the screen goes black and flickers back and forth between the black screen and a frozen iTunes as if the video is about to play.
Can anyone let me know how to fix this? Has it something to do with the upgrade?
Let me know if I need to provide anymore info.
Many thanks,
YIB

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do, It is very frustrating i have all my music from my old PC and a bunch of CD's i cannot import.

I haven't encountered this error, but let's try to figure out a solution.
CDs. Let's tackle this.
First, read this:
http://www.woopid.com/video/626/iTunes-Setup-Assistant
As soon as you insert a CD (assumng you have a drive), iTunes should immediately open and ask if you want to add this to your Library. Say "Yes." (You haven't set the quality levels yet, but we want to set up your library, first.)
Music. If you have individual tracks you want to import, keep iTunes open, and simply drop the tracks in the "Songs" part of the Library on the left side of the screen. The tracks should be added automatically.
If this isn't working for you, please describe the error -- or better yet, provide screenshots. I'm certain you will be able to set up your iTunes library pretty quickly.

Help: iTunes freezing when I try to transfer purchases from iPad 2.

iTunes freezes when I try to transfer purchases from my iPad 2 to my laptop (MS Vista). It starts to transfer purchases but eventually results in iTunes not responding or my device timing out. I've tried Disk Cleanup/Defrag and uninstall/re-install of iTunes in the correct sequence. Can anyone please help me?

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id :(

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id(apple store)
and it is not because of the update

Exact Same issue!
I haven't tried using a new profile but the moment I click on the Sign Out link under my user name in the store, iTunes freezes and needs to be killed.
Reinstalls haven't helped, sometimes out of the blue it works fine but in most cases iTunes is now practically unusable for me.
This started recently after the update and I can't pinpoint any other major change to my system.

Just purchased Adobe Element 10 and when I try to import music I get an "Add Media Error"

Are you working with both iPhoto and Aperture at the same time? If you have to maintain several iPhoto libraries in addition to your Aperture library you would profit considerably from updating to Aperture 3.4.
Aperture and iPhoto now share a uniform library format and you can easily switch between both applications when viewing a photo library.
Aperture 3 can run with 4 GB RAM, but would be better with more. If your mac is not maxed out with 4GB, you should consider to add RAM, since you are running Mt. Lion. All other apps wil profit from more RAM too.
I cannot test the interaction between iPhoto 9.4 and Aperture 2, since I have only Aperture 3 installations.
I am a little reluctant because i have only 4 gig of ram and have read numerous negative reports.
There are many happy Aperture 3 users, but people are only posting here, when they are temporarily unhappy. So you will get a distorted view.
The new version is out for only a few days, and Apple has the first bugs to fix. I'd wait a little, if you can, until the next release is out.

If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
If iTunes freezes when you:
1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
OR
2) When you click on the Burn CD button
Steps To Recovery:
1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
2) Reinstall iTunes
3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
I hope this helps,

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

HT201302 When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none

When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none. And when I go into the DCIM folder (the only folder I can see), there are no files inside. What else can I do to move my photos onto my PC?

Are the photos in question in the Camera Roll of the iPad? If not, where on the iPad are they (in what part of what app do they appear)?

Computer freezes when I try to import a cd into itunes...

I just recently got a Macbook Pro, and I am having a problem when I try to import a cd that I burned previously. When I put in a cd the computer freezes and the cd won't play and Itunes will not work at all. I have to restart the computer to get anything to work. I burned the cd on a Windows computer, and the cd works fine there. The cd's I am using are brand new with no scratches. I don't think I should have to restart the computer every time I try to import a cd. I hope I can get some help on this matter.

I'm having the same problem, except the CD I last inserted will not eject. It gave me the option to force eject the CD and I did. But the CD didn't come out...and a message popped up saying it was successfully ejected. Now the little icon doesn't come up when I press the eject button and the computer says there is no CD in the drive but the CD is still in there. I have had this Mac for about 4 and 1/2 hours now.

I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.

ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.
