ITunes stalls with no reason
Hi all.
I'm not sure it's my computer there is something wrong with, but for as long as I have used iTunes, the startop can take up to 30 sec, before the program launches. There are other instances where it feels like it's just stopps, and my entire desktop freezes.
Anybody have the same issue.
This happens allso even after i reinstalled windows 7.
Scott Seifert,
Welcome to Discussions,
The most obvious reason is an iTunes related Widget.
Disable it/them and see if this helps.
You can usually enable the Widget again without the problem returning.
Another cause could be a preference pane called SizzlingKeys.
Disable it at System Preferences.
Hope this helps.

Since I got my new iMac, or since I upgraded to iTunes 10 (which happened at the same time), iTunes opens erratically with no iPod or iPhone attached. It even starts playing the first song/book in the list that was opened in the last session.
What can be done to avoid that?Hi bphillips2633!
I have an article here that I believe will help you add these converted files to your iTunes library. That article can be found here:
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
Follow the steps in that article to add these files to your iTunes library. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?
thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit. -
HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!
Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question. -
Itunes freezing with Ipod Touch on Windows 7x64 when setting up
Hi,
I have an Ipod Touch 3G and a new Dell XPS16 Core I7 with Windows 7 x64. The Ipod cannot be Synced or restored properly. When connecting it it says there is an issue with the Ipod and it needs to be restored. The actul restore seems to go OK but after on the screen to setup new Ipod when I click OK Itunes just freezes. Seems like other people have similar problems.
I've put some troubleshooting steps and findings below.
1/ Though Itunes was corrups so uninstalled and reinstalled, no luck.
2/ Wanted new clean windows install anyway so formatted drive and reinstalled windows from scratch. Updated all drivers and BIOS to latest version. Installed latest Itunes. No other apps just Windows and Itunes. Same result. Itunes library is also empty so there is nothing to sync.
3/ Tried different Ipod (3rd Gen Ipod Nano). This works fine can restore and sync with no freezing issues.
4/ Tried Ipod Touch on 2 different PCs (one with XP 32 bit and one with Windows 7 32bit). On these machines the Ipod touch works fine.
It seems that there is either an issue with X64 Windows 7 and Ipod Touch 3G. Any suggestions.
If I go to Apple I'm sure they will say the Touch is fine because it works with 2 other PCs. If I go to Dell they will probably say the machine is OK because other Ipod works fine and I don't have issues with any other devices.Hi,
Thanks for the information. Will try this later and post if it helps. i have tried many many supposed fixes but no luck. At the moment I have clean Windows 7 (no bloatware) latest drivers, latest BIOS and only Itunes installed. Still does not work.
Spoke to Apple on the phone who said they think it's most likely USB drivers. I was using this Ipod with Windows 7 32bit RC for months without any such issues. As soon as i got the new laptop it has been non stop problems.
I did notice Apple have not updated the software since late October, 2 months ago. I have logged a call with Dell but I have a sinking feeling that that will send me back to Apple.
In my case I noticed when it freezes that Itunes is using a reasonable amount of CPU which does not change. In my case 13% of my 4 core I7. I have also noticed that other USB drives tend to lok up and not be accesible when Itunes freezes. Do you get similar symptoms?
My gut feeling is Itunes x64 has some issues. The Itunes App does not seem to be 64 bit either even when installing 64 bit version. May just be the drivers which are 64 bit. If we can find a few people with reproducable issues on different hardware I will forward this to Apple as I still have an open support ticket. -
DEP (Date Execution Prevention) Closed iTunes due to security reason
I just bought a new laptop (SONY SR) operated with Window Vista. My laptop never run iTunes since I installed it. I tried uninstall and reinstall again n again, but it just doesn't work.
A screen appeared and say that iTunes stopped working, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has closed iTunes due to security reason.
How do I off that "DEP"? Thanks!!!Hi, I just got this problem solved. Hope it helps.
You don't have to turn off DEP or reinstall any program.
The only thing you need to do is associate your Quicktime files ONLY to QuickTime player.
When you open QuickTime it will automatically pop up a window to ask you if you want to fix file association. The answer is positive of course.
If it still doesn't work maybe you could uninstall some codec / media players which associate with QuickTime files. -
IPhone 3G shutting down with no reason after upgrading to OS 3.0
After updating to OS 3.0, my iPhone started to shut down regularly with no reason. Once it is off, I cannot restart the device using neither the sleep button nor both sleep and home buttons. It get started only after plugging the device to either electricity or the computer. I don't know if anyone else is facing with the same problem and if Apple is aware of the problem and provide a resolution in 3.1 update. Please help me on this if you have a solution..
Please try hard-restore by restoring from DFU Mode:
Steps:
1) Turn off iPhone
2) Turn on and see the Apple Boot Logo
3) while on the boot logo, press sleep/wake and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.
4) quickly release only the sleep/wake. (Do not let go of home button)
5) iTunes should recognize your iphone as a restore mode.
6) Restore your iPhone.
7) After restoring, do not recover from backup, set it as a new iPhone.
See if the problem occurs, Hope this solved the problem! -
New iTunes account with existing MobileMe account
Hello everyone, last year I bought a MobileMe package, which I officially use and registered with my truthful information and address in Italy.(I'm italian). Today, as I already have an italian iTunes account with a different email address, I just wanted to create a new one using this MobileMe address and I wanted to create a US account. I've tried downloading a free app, enter my mobileme username and password but I can't see NONE as payment method in addition to credit cards. The system tells me that my address has not yet been enabled on iTuens and asks me to enable it. When I enable it, it lets me choose the country and choosing the US I can only select between credit cards and Paypal. I can not find the NONE option. Obviously, paypal does not work because my paypal account is a non US account. Someone can help me? Thanks.
This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of the important data stored on your computer's hard drive is important, which should include your iTunes library. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
Your computer is detected as a new or different computer after replacing the hard drive.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If a 3rd party app does not transfer from your iPhone, you can re-download the app with iTunes on your computer and your won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if this data wasn't included with your computer's backup and hasn't been restored from your computer's backup - both applications don't have any data or new entries, enter one contact in the the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. -

ITunes Sync with iPad restores deleted apps
I've thought I've locked this down, but I guess I am not understanding settings or such things. I have an iPad2 updated to latest iOS, and iTunes also with most recent update. I do not sync wirelessly. When I plug my iPad into my PC it automatically starts to sync with no problems. The part that I am trying to avoid is that it automatically reinstalls anything that I've manually deleted off the iPad whether it be apps, songs, documents, etc. . .
I am looking for iTunes to back these sorts of things up and to add changes on the iPad to the PC side of things, but NOT for iTunes to automatically restore things that have been removed from the iPad since the last sync. I've deleted a bunch of apps that I don't use and take up too much space. Same with songs and documents, but today when I plugged it into my PC, iTunes restored everything until I had out of space errors. That being said it created new pages to add all the restored apps to and now I have to go through and delete all those again. My fear is that after all the work I put into make these changes is that next sync it will repeat the same problem. Like I said earier, I thought I had made the proper setting changes, but apparently not.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/music/pics/etc.
Use this to put everything back on the hard drive.
The ipad syncs with one library. When you installed a new hard drive, the it became a new library. The ipads content will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. That is the way it works. Another reason why you should use your backup copy to put everything back on your new hard drive. -
HttpURLConnection when fetching stalls for no reason
On rare occasions my fetcher class stalls for no reason? the only solution i can think of is to put it in a seperate Thread and check the time it started to download and the compare it with the current time - if over 5 minutes difference close the Thread down,
any other solutions or suggestions?
little bit of code here that handles the actual fetching of the webpage
g.log("fetching>"+u);
String html = "";
URL url;
HttpURLConnection conn; // connection to the web page
BufferedReader rd; // Used to read the web page
String line; // individual line of the html
try {
url = new URL(u.toLowerCase());
conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (my-user-agent-name-here) Honour: robots.txt, Delayed");
//conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0");
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
html+="\n"+line;
rd.close();
html = html.trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
//e.printStackTrace();
g.log("Exception>"+e+"\nproblem fetching>"+u);
return "";
g.log("fetched>"+u+"["+html.length()+"bytes]");
return html;you could be suffering from _*wireless interference*_.
perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler (free) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your area are broadcasting on. *change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those*. -
ITunes volume with headphones..
Can you Change the iTunes volume with my apple headphones? Why the F not? For $60.00 they should be able to do alot.
Hi - UndeWaterLuv and So True.. had this same exact issue yesterday when on the plane using my new ipad 4th generation as a much cheaper alternative to the inflight viewing prices.. I read some older posts that spoke about different volumes - and, like you, I had my earphone and the movie volume both set to maximum and still had trouble hearing the sound over the background noise of the plane..
for reasons best known only to apple, here's how to remedy the situation: (and thanks to the guys who originally posted this fix which i think they said worked on an iphone etc) .
Go into settings menu, go to sounds menu and you will see the option for the volume for the sound effects and tones - by default, mine was set to medium.. you will also notice that under the slide bar to change the volume, the device says ' this volume will not be effected by the up and down or slide buttons' (or something to this effect) - slide this up to 3/4 or full if you want - it will respond by playing back a standard ring tone (normally mariamba) to show you the volume you have set- this doesn't really matter as i'm not in the habit of using my ipad as a phone or recieving calls thru it.. retrun to the video you were watching, and voila! the volume is increased by that same amount! you can then adjust to normal level using the slide.
WHY in all things holy would they do this?? not sure, but at least there is a get-a-round..
Now I wont have to pack my noice cancelling headphones after all..

Sharing one itunes account with two computers
I used to share my itunes account with my sister and our ipods were synched to one computer. We now have two new computers and would still like to continue to share that account. Is it possible to open the same account on two separate computers?
Explain how you transfer content manually.
Control-click or right-click it in iTunes, choose Get Info, locate the music files, move them to the other computer's hard disk as you would any other type of file, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. By default on a Mac, dragging them to the open iTunes window also copies them to the hard disk.

Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?
Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.
Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.
