Itunes makes my comp freeze

I just bought my first ipod a few weeks back. I downloaded itunes and moved all of the music off of my computer onto my itunes, then synced it to my ipod.
Now, when I try to open itunes - it opens but then freezes. It keeps saying it's analyzing my songs, but it never finishes!
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, however whenever I redownload it, it pulls up with all the same music and does the same thing. I'm starting to go nuts, I just want to add more music to my ipod!

i would double check and make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements to run itunes. Then i would make sure you don't have any uneccessary programs running in the background. Itunes take a lot of computing power that most don't notice. My new laptop has problems running itunes and several browsers--and it can run multiple low level programs--just not itunes and another power hog program.

ITunes makes Mountain Lion Freeze - Please Help

Hi there: Mountain Lion seems rock solid on my mac pro except when I listen to music with iTunes - it will freeze the system (no more music, just a frozen screen saver)... Power cycle (holding down the power button) is the only way to unfreeze it... All other apps run just fine with no issues. Also, I'm connected to airport express via ethernet, not wifi. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please advise and thank you very much!

I have the exact same problem except on a imac, with 16G ram. Also not hooked to WiFi. I have an app called Logic Pro (music maker) and I wonder if that is causing it

Itunes 10.5.2 freeze when starts on windows 7 home premium 64 bit

I've uninstalled, restarted then installed again the 64 bit version of Itunes and it keeps freezing even in safe mode, there is no way that I can sync my iPod touch 4g to my computer. Is there any other .exe file that I could install to make itunes work on my computer or will i have to wait for the next update that will come out in a while I guess.

ITunes 7.6 Keeps Freezing!

i just upgraded to 7.6, after having numerous problems with 7.5. now i still have all of the problems of 7.5 (burning/importing very very slow), but now, itunes 7.6 keeps freezing for like 30 secs, about every other minute. its INCREDIBLY annoying. anyone got any tips on how to fix this?
example: when i right click on a song, the menu doesnt pop up for 30 secs, and if im listening to a song, the track time will freeze for about 30 secs.

Dreifort,
Are you saying that Bonjour is what's causing your system to freeze or are you just noticing that Bonjour was installed with iTunes 7.6?
Sharing of music between computers on the same network (i.e. people on the same router) has been part of iTunes since iTunes 4.1 which was the first version that ran on Windows. The difference being that in previous versions Bonjour was compiled into the application, making the iTunes application bigger and now it is a separate external service.
Bonjour is currently required for a number of features in iTunes. (1) sharing between local computers, (2) remote speakers or sharing between your computer and your stereo, and (3) Apple TV or sharing between your computer and your TV. iTunes has and will continue to ship technology (like Quicktime) that it needs to make its features work.
Nothing is being (or has ever been) sent back to Apple or any Apple server via Bonjour network connections.

ITunes Makes Me Log in Every Time I Open It

iTunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite updates recently installed. 2012 27" iMac
iTunes makes me log in every time I open it. I thought the problem was fixed in THIS THREAD and it was a very helpful set of instructions by Linc but the problem keeps recurring.
I reposted the question in that thread, but since the thread is marked as solved I'm afraid no one will see it. So I'm reposting here.
Situation:
Upon opening iTunes I get messages popping up telling me to
Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to iTunes for iTunes Radio to use autodowload
Sign in to iTunes to check for downloads
(repeat of) Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to use iTunes Store
These happen one after another, rapidly. Every time. I called Apple help as well and they didn't have any further help.
I've repaired permissions, trashed my plist for iTunes from my Library, done all of Linc's instruction in the other thread.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

ITunes 10.3.1 freezes when I try to delete files I have ripped from my own CDs.

I am in the process of updating a number of CDs that I ripped at 128kbps with rips at 256kbps. When I delete the 128kbps files most of the time iTunes 10.3.1 freezes with the spinning beach ball. The files are in the trash but I have to force quit iTunes. When I restart iTunes, the deleted files are still visible and playable and I can know delete these without any issues.
I have tried turning off my external OWC Mercury Pro Blu-ray/DVD/CD burner but this has no effect.

I have the same issue. I took it the genius bar and called talked to tier 2 phone support. They have standard thing where you uninstall all apple software in a certain order and then reinstall 64bit itunes. That did nothing (tried it 4 times).
I've gotten two clues so far.
One is that at the store if I plug someone else's iphone 4 in then itunes acts the same way. So it is not the phone. Two is tier 2 phone support told me to try syncing it with a fresh user account (an admin one). I did that and itunes was just fine, it did not freeze.
So there appears to be some conflict with the software, music files, whatever that is on my current user account (also an admin account). I ran virus and malware detectors and found nothing. Now I'm going to try putting my music, movies, apps, etc in the new user account and see if the phone will sync then.
I know its not much but thats where I'm at. I hope it helps.

udated and its on 10.6.8 yet still no change
Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

In Firefox 31.0 a bug makes the browser freeze, and then I can't close tabs anymore, what may solve this?

Good afternoon. With the newest update of Firefox for PC (31.0), I have a problem that occurs almost every time I use the browser.
When trying to close a tab, it sometimes cause the browser to freeze during one minute.
Then a dialog-box appears on the screen. It says that the script "chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:2004" may be busy.
I can choose between two buttons in this dialog-box.
"Continue" which keeps the script running, in theory; though it just closes the dialog-box, makes the browser freeze again, and then the same dialog-box shows up.
"Stop the script" which ends the freeze; but then I'm unable to close tabs (I can still close the browser).
I also noticed that, when the freeze occurs, the content of the tab I tried to close changes to "New Tab".
When I restart the browser, I am able to close tab again, until the freeze shows up again.
The problem started to appear only when I updated Firefox to the 31.0 version (and I didn't add any browser extension in the meanwhile).
Does anyone have an idea of what I could do to avoid the problem? Thank you very much and have a good day!

In the immediate future you can try noscript or flashblock addons to block that script.
However upon more research in searching the current Firefox codebase: [http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=tabbrowser.xml&case=false] it seems to be referenced in there, but I do not see a reference to the port associated. The port is usually used for media. I would not know how to start to troubleshoot this, but are there any consistent steps/webpages that cause this to start?
Does this happen in Safe Mode, please see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]? And does it happen in a fresh install?

I couldnt find a topic for my question, so maybe you could help...when creating an account on itunes, why does it ask for credit card info? And what if you purchase or redeem itune cards for purchasing songs, do you still need to register a credit card, this seems lame. Is there any way around this?, (Also how do you post a new topic in here?) thanks...

Itunes 10.0 Crash/Freeze when beginning to importing CD

All,
I recently bought my father an iPod Nano 5th gen. We got about 5 CD's properly imported on iTunes 9 when I was showing him how to import and sync his device. However, soon after I 'cut him loose' he reported a problem with the iTunes freezing and causing trouble for the rest of the computer. I've replicated the symptom and have done an evening of searching with no avail. I upgraded to v10 with the problem persisting. Here is the progression of how to replicate the symptoms...
1. start computer/itunes
2. insert cd
3. click yes when asked "would you like to import this CD"
4. iTunes begins importing, but freezes on the first song with less than 1/16 completed. iTunes no longer responsive
(5.) Can CtrlAltDel and shut down iTunes, but other functions remain inactive (starting new programs, shutting down, etc... computer needs hard restart)
(6.) Can replicate with 3 other CD's. Stopped trying after this.
(7.) Can successfully rip via Windows Media Player and drop and drag into iTunes. To me, this proves correct working order of CD rom drive and general windows software.
Alternately, iTunes will freeze when simply trying to play off of a CD within 5 seconds of playing the song.
I have tried operating with the "Use error correction when importing CDs" unchecked, yielding no different results.
Please advise, thank you in advance!!!

Os x 10.10.1 makes my imac freeze

When I try to install the 10.10.1 update on my imac it makes the computer freeze.
I restart the computer to install the update. A filler bar appears, and it starts to install the update. But when the filler bar is about a quarter full, it disappears and leaves a grey screen where nothing happens, no matter how long I wait. I have tried several times. Finally I had to re-install all the content on my mac from timemachine, and now I don´t dare to install 10.10.1 again. What is wrong?

Perhaps a corrupt download. If you want to try again, try here.
