Itunes only downloads to about 72% and locks up

I can only get itunes to download roughly 72% before it locks up and does nothing. I have tried to remove all the apple related programs as suggested. Seems like the program will load then after hours...meaning at least 24 hrs...it just gets locked up. Any ideas out there?

hi chris!
When I'm importing CDs, my task manager shows iTunes using 97-99% of my system's memory, effectively locking it up for periods of time.
hmmm. does your PC have dual cores or dual processors? if so, check on this possibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302869
(it's much more common to have itunes quit under these circumstances, but it's probably still worth checking up on.)
if no joy there, we'd better check up on some other usual suspects (even though you can actually import sometimes these possibilities are still worth checking on):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93453
... and these resources might be helpful with that:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300252
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=607642
for a rarer possibility, see the discussion in this thread (view all before deciding whether or not to proceed with this one):
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=396832&messageID=1262876
and if all else fails, let's try an experiment. we've been getting a cluster of unusual problems lately (often associated with 100% CPU usage) that seem to be associated with security software interfering with writing of library files and use of music files in the My Music folder. some of that sort of activity goes on during imports. so try an experimental import with your antispyware and/or antivirus switched off. does the import go through more quickly and without the excessive CPU usage under those circumstances?
keep us posted.
love, b

  • Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Did you perhaps intentionally select just those three tracks to import from one CD a while back, and is iTunes now remembering that selection? Do you see checkboxes against the list of tracks on the CD? If not Go to Edit > Preferences > General, and check the box for Show list checkboxes. CTRL-Click an empty checkbox to check all of them in one go.
    If that isn't the issue are you getting any error messages during the import? Will other software (WMP/MediaMonkey/CDEX etc.) rip the CD instead?

  • I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

    I don't know which country you're in, but in the US, carriers limit the amount of download for a single file when using 3G.  Have you tried wifi?

  • TS1424 itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I correct that?

    itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I fix it or get a refund?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs for a few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • After iOS7 upgrade, iTunes only gives blank screens.  And Netflix won't load.  Any idea on what to do?

    After iOS7 upgrade, iTunes only gives blank screens.  And Netflix won't load.  Any idea on what to do?

    Yep. I did some more poking around and found that one. Downloaded it and tried to run it and got more errors. Did some more searching and found a fix for the installer on Vista. Ran the fix and tried the ipod software again. It got further, but then hung up again. I'm still trying to figure this all out. Anyone got any answers it'd be much appreciated.

  • I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

  • How do I customize the CNN and Wall street journal apps on my iPhone 6 to only show news about business and technology, and not shootings or murders?

    How do I customize the CNN and Wall street journal apps on my iPhone 6 to only show news about business and technology, and not shootings or murders?

    First, we are not Apple, we are other users like you trying assist with hardware problems.  We cannot help with warranty issues.
    Unfortunately, Apple cannot and will not help you unless your iPhone is returned to the US (in person, not by international mail).  The warranty is not international.  This topic has been discussed on this forum since before the 5s was released.  Please tell all of your friends not to buy an iPhone in another country unless they are willing to forego warranty and service from Apple.

  • HT2729 I have hd video on itunes that plays choppy so i only download sd to try and avoid this but playback is still choppy, help please!

    itunes on my windows laptop would play choppy hd video so i only download sd video in an attempt to avoid this. However playback is still choppy, why?

    Hello Wesleywilson2349,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Depending on your version of Windows, I would recommend either one of these 2 articles:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
    And:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting video playback
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1386
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • When I went to download a previously purchased album from an old computer, iTunes only downloaded 1 track and said the rest of the album was never purchased

    This has happened for a lot of my purchased albums, and I don't feel it's fair to have to repurchase something I've rightfully already paid for.

    Go back and download the ones that are missing. It is possible that the some of the downloads that completed are corrupt if the connection was encountering problems while they were downloading.It may be best to delete them and start from scratch.
    Don't find them in the iTunes store, download them from here:
    iTunes > More > Purchased > TV Shows

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv?
    If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • How do i get itunes to download on my external, and not my desktop?

    I've been trying to get iTunes to download in my external hard drive instead of on my desktop; but every time I download iTunes it starts downloading automaticly onto the desktop. I don't have enough memory on my desktop to transfer all my music onto their, so how can I get it to download onto the external instead? If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreceate it.

    Download and install iTunes normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the external drive.

  • Bought a cd on itunes only downloaded 5 full songs of the 17

    bought a cd on itunes and out of 17 songs it downloaded 5 full songs and 12 half songs

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
