My iTunes keeps hanging. What do I do?
Whenever i open my Mac and launch itunes, it hangs and wont work. Please what do i do?
The first thing you should look for is old out-dated software that interacts with iTunes. You'll find plug-ins for those apps here:
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Just pull them to the desktop and test again.
More info about plug-ins here -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Why my itunes keep hang on syncing backup?
I had tried all troubleshoot but i still having trouble with my itunes.
I cant sign in to Itune store & when I tried to sync it keep hang on part 2 ( backing up )First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
ITunes keeps hanging / crashing
I'm getting the spinning colored ball at random moments. Usually when trying to play/pause/skip, but sometimes out of nowhere. Frequent crashes as well. What's the best way to trouble shoot this? Do I need to reinstall the app? I'm running iTunes 10.7, the most recent version.
Thanks.That particular file doesn't exist (as you imply) or the Library doesn't exist (because Apple has hidden it from you)?

every time I repair my iPod with iTunes, it hangs at the end of the process (while checkin the recovery of iPod). What can I do?
I chose to restore it to factory defaults, but that never succeeded.
It hangs at the end of the process.

Language is Dutch :-)
Littery it says:
Check of Recovery of iPod.
Already for 40 minutes.
I closed down iTunes.
Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked! -
I'm trying to update my apps on my third generation Ipod but, I'm having some difficulty. I can't update my Ipod or apps via my laptop because it's broken. Itunes keeps saying that my security code for my card is wrong. I can't update my apps now or continue to play games. What do I do???
Perhaps this article can be of assistance.

cant run itunes on my windows xp,when i install it and try to open itunes,it keeps on saying "itunes cant run because some of its required files are missing. please reinstall itunes... what can i do...
You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
This is not an easy task!
Read this article on how to remove iTunes completely
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
Then download the latest version of iTunes for your Windows Version and install it. -
I am so confused. I just downloaded Itunes. I set up an Apple ID with a password. Now I want to buy a song. I can't do it. I keep getting the message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store. What am I doing wrong?
You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset. is there anything i can do to fix this or am i screwed?
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.
Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data. -
I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online but my Classic ipod doesnt work. My Itunes keeps telling me that it cannot restore the ipod because the ipod is busy. What can I do?
Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

I'm trying to sync/back-up apps on my iPhone 3G and iTunes keeps telling me it can't complete the operation because "the apps on my iPhone cannot be determined." What the **** does this mean?!
Same problem. Wish I knew.
When I tried to Restore, I got an Error 13xx and it won't even do that.
not a happy camper if a phone this expensive stops working in 2 years.
