Itunes goes not responding after add file or folder

After running itunes for several years on my computer, the programs becomes "not responding" when I try to add a file or folder or import. Upon selecting File Menu > Add file or add folder, I get the hour glass cursor and no other action (no windows open, no error messages). I have to go to task manager and kill itunes in order to get the program functioning. I have uninstalled itunes and re-installed it and continue to have the same issue. Any ideas on what I should try next?

Are you almost out of hard drive space?

  • 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.

  • Itunes 10 not responding after 5-10 sec!

    i just installed iTunes 10 and now every time I open it, it would not respond after like 5-10 sec. it worked perfectly on iTunes 9. I have to close iTunes by task manager or right click on the bottom to close it. can someone please help me?

    The same thing is happening to me. I installed it yesterday, and it seemed to be working fine until this afternoon. This is exceedingly annoying.

  • With the new OS, itunes is not letting me add files from my external HD to the library

    I just downloaded the new OS (Mavericks) and also the new version of itunes (11.1.2). Now, I'm trying to add some files to itunes (using file>add to library) and the first thing I notice is that the "Icons" view fails to display any content (at all), when switch to "column" view I can see all my folders but cannot access any of them, and when I switch to "list" view and try to browse to the music folder in my external HD, itunes gets hung and I have to force quit it to be able to use any of the other opened apps in my mac. Something similar happened when I tried to save a file in preview: no content on the icon view. It is like if there's something wrong with the add/open and save functions, it is not responding properly

    From my knowledge the computer just Syncs to the phone not iCloud..
    It can update & restore etc..
    iCloud is just a back up service for the info on your phone..
    Have you tried doing a Factory Settings via iTunes..Then a restore.

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • Application goes not responding all the time

    I am looking for some suggestions on how to stop itunes on lion from going not responding almost constantly.  All of my system resources are goo cpu < 20%, 1.5 GB free RAM and plenty of free disk space.
    Thanks.

    You might try putting these files into the Trash (don't Empty the Trash) after quitting:
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxx.plist (where "xxxxx" are a series of numbers and/or letters)
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/ (the entire folder)
    Restart iTunes.

  • Firefox Not Responding after Installing Microsoft Office 10

    After installing Microsoft Office 10 (student and home edition) on my laptop, I noticed that Firefox is going into the state 'Not Responding' every time I access it - it takes about 10 secs to 'think' and then comes back online. It continues to do this every time I want to access a new page, new link, click on mail in Yahoo Mail, etc. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    1) Check the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/JServ/etc/logs/jvm
    has servral logs for OACoreGroup Servlets that are initialied
    2) You might have to enable the debug option in jserv.properties and jserv.conf
    (find IsItWorking.java in Metalink for the appropriate note )
    3) If this is 403 forbidden then check trusted.conf alongside httpd.conf
    pls keep posted about how this issue got resolved.

    JSP not responding after installing 11.5.10.2 on IBM
    HACMP
    i have finished installing Oracle applications
    11.5.10.2 on IBM clusters (HACMP version 5.1)its a
    multinode setup with mutual failover. other
    applications are working fine. the installation went
    well. but the final part on the middle tier , during
    the post install checks it says JSP not responding. I
    checked the apache error-log and saw the follwoing
    entry
    [Sun Apr 23 21:04:21 2006] [error] [client
    172.29.200.74] client denied by server configuration:
    /appl/oracle/devcomn/portal/
    DEV_erpappssrv/oprocmgr-service
    >
    that bafles me because that ip address was not used
    in the installation. its the persistent ip address of
    the HACMP. the service ip that was used in the
    configuration file was 172.29.200.75
    however there is no mention of this in the error
    log.i also edited the oprocmgr.conf in the
    Apache/conf directory after which i dont get the
    error however the servlets pages then hangs and
    returns page cannot be displayed error on internet
    explorer. no error is registered on the error log.
    the jdk am using is 1.4.2 which is the recommended
    one.
    what this means is that i cannot access the self
    service pages and as you know you need self service
    pages to access the application in 11.5.10.2
    i opened a TAR with oracle on 8th April 2006 and till
    today i have not been able to get a solution.
    I am hoping that i will get someone in this forum who
    has met a similar problem or who has an insight into
    how we can solve this problem already am weeks past
    the target go live!!!
    Please Kindly help

  • ITunes will not launc after latest update (Mac version)

    Hi
    I was prompted by the software updater to update iTunes the other day, and so I did. When I first launched iTunes after the update, there was the usual window where i had to agree on Apple's this-and-that that always follows an update, but then nothing happened. After a while, Finder said iTunes was not responding. Now everytime I attempt to launch iTunes, the little triangle will appear beneath the iTunes icon in the dock as if the program was running, but nothing happens. It immediately stops responding, and I cannot even force close it. It's a bit like Windows...
    Anyone else with this problem, and maybe with a solution?

    I do not get any error code when launching iTunes or double-clicking a audio file. iTunes attempts to launch (bouncing icon in dock), then stops responding.
    I have now tried repairing disk permissions and deleting iTunes-related files from the personal/library/preferences folder, all to no avail.

  • ITunes 10 "Not Responding"

    I just upgraded from iTunes 9 (which worked great) to iTunes 10 on my 64bit Windows 7 laptop. Every time I launch iTunes 10 it runs for a couple of seconds and then goes "not responding". I have to kill it in the Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3 times, I even tried to reinstall iTunes 9, but ran into the "newer library" issue. I have also tried a clean boot with only required services running and still have the same issue.
    To make matters worse, my upgrade motivation was the purchase of the new Nano after my previous one was stolen. Now I have dead software and a useless Nano that I can’t load.
    I’m hoping someone has some ideas. From what I’ve seen on the Internet, I’m not the only one with this issue.

  • 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!

  • When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

    Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

  • My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
