TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Need advise, I have purchased compressor 4.1 to compress my movie file, particularly MKV files. Problem is, that the software freezes when trying to import the 10GB MKV. Any one that can help?

Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

Itunes freezing when trying to sync

Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

ITunes freezes when trying to close

iTunes (7.6) freezes for me every time i try to close the program. It seems to open up and work fine, however when I click the "x" or go to file, then exit, it freezes up and have to open the task manager and end the process. While it is frozen, the task manager shows it using 100% CPU usage. This is fresh, clean install of Windows XP SP2 with all updates installed. This was happening with the latest version just before 7.6 came out. I did a clean install of XP, installed all updates, installed iTunes and it froze, didn't think much of it.. thought it was just a random one time thing, finished installing all my other programs.. then today i update to 7.6 and go to close it and it happens again! I opened and tried to close it several times and it happened every single time. I uninstalled iTunes (removed old database as well), reinstalled iTunes and still froze. This has never happened to me before and am stumped on how to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*Note to everyone here in this thread*
interconnect has fixed his problem with iTunes hanging when trying to quit. He had Eset's Nod32 antivirus installed on the PC, and was able to fix the problem by using the measures from the following Eset troubleshooting document:
iTunes not working with your ESET security product?
Here's a link to interconnect's post where he reports his solution:

Ipod freezes when trying to import cds

This just happened a few days ago. I have been trying to import cds, but can't because the song that I am trying to import freezes. When I click quit nothing happens. Internet explorer also freezes, and I have to turn my computer off manually.
I thought it was because I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8, but that isn't the problem because I uninstalled it and it is still happening.
I even tried to uninstall itunes and quicktime, but nothing happens.
This is very frustrating because I can't get in contact with Apple because they say my warranty has expired, and I will have to pay $29.00 for a one time call.
Based on these discussions, I am not the only one having the same type of problem. Apple seems to know about it, but is doing nothing.

I meant importing cds to my ipod. I found out the hard way that some can't be imported. My computer crashed because of it. I just bought a new one.
I contacted my virus prtection provider, and was told that the problem maybe that it wasn't compatible with other programs I was running on my computer.
The only program I can think of is internet explorer 8. I had just downloaded it when it started to occur.
I contacted microsoft before the crash, and they said to contact apple which I couldn't because my warranty had expired.
Anyway, I am done with putting music on ipods. I am just going to use itunes to sync and recharge my ipod. When it stops working I'll just get rid of it.

LR 3 freeze when trying to import (with a workaround)

Hi,
Windows XP SP3
Core i7 with 4 GB RAM (3 in use)
I had mentioned this in the previous IMPORT FREEZE thread, but that thread go pretty long and convoluted so I thought I would isolate the particular problem that I (and many others) are having.
Problem is that when hitting the IMPORT button (or doing a drag and drop, or using the menu to select IMPORT), the screen freezes. Most of the time the cursor arrow is frozen on the Import button. LR thinks that it is in Import mode but there is no UI. To get out of this frozen mode you just have to hit the escape key, and LR dismisses the (non-existent) Import screen and continue to function normally.
Sometimes the Import screen is partially drawn. I think this happens if the Import mode had worked previously in this session (like it does right after a complete re-boot).
The problem is that once this problem shows up, while you can get out of the frozen program (by hitting the esc key) there is no way to import files into LR without re-booting.
Workaround:
This morning I realized that since the problem seems to be with drawing the Import screen, that maybe Auto-Import would work, and at least I would have the import function back. So I tried it and it works perfectly. I just download to the HD using another method to get the files from the memory card to the HD, and then move the files to the watch folder (after you enable Auto-Import). Set the preview to minimal so the "import" can go as fast as it can.
Hope this helps, and if Adobe or anyone else with this specific import problem has additional info, please post it hear. I know other people are having problems with the actual import, but let's keep those in a seperate thread (at least that is my suggestion).
Thanks in advance.

First let me say I appreciate your 2cts worth. I am learning more about this issue with every post. That's the great thing about forums. It brings the smart people with the passion for making life easier for others together, learning a bit more at the same time.
Before I downloaded the trial version I checked the system requirements. Lightroom is built for systems several years old. Here are my PC specs:
- Dell Studio 1737
- Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6500 @ 2.10GHz
- 6 GB RAM
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
- 64-bit Operating System
This should be more than enough to run the most demanding Lightroom tasks. Your thoughts?

Itunes freezes when trying to update

my system crashed last week and i had to restore the operating system. since then i've been slowly putting it back together piece by piece. i used a program called ipodcopy to take everything (music/video/pictures) off my ipod and put it back on my computer and my new itunes library looked just like the one on my ipod but now that i've added more music and want to update, i've hit the last (i hope) wall in this reconstruction.
i've made sure to switch settings like auto. update back on and unchecked enable disk use. when i agree that doing all that will replace what is currently on my ipod with what is currently in the library and say yes to linking this library to the ipod rather than the old one - it freezes. i tried a few times over the last two days and the same thing happens.
i'm almost there. someone please help me!

No, a restore shouldn't take an hour.!!! Like maybe 10 minutes, max.
If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod.
that is from this article

My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

Mac keeps freezing when trying to import video

When I try to import video to my i5 iMac 21.5" it gets to about 5 seconds and then freezes the copying file tab has been on the screen constant now for 2 days, it plays all the video directly from disk but I am trying to put them on an external HDD which is formatted as per the reccomendations. This is happening virtually everytime I try and copy any files including to the local drive. Also whilst Im on the subject I installed a printer and for some reason it keeps dropping the printer so I have to install it every time I want to use the printer. Both the HDD and printer are compatible with apple mac and all the files as I said earlier run from CD/DVD. Im running OSX Lion and apart from the files I am trying to import and the printer software its a vanilla build.

Try trashing iMovie preferences. They are in your home library>preferences.

Itunes freezes when trying to sync ipod

this started to happen when i had to re-install itunes because they deleted all my content. it was the old version anyways, so i installed the latest version. now, whenever i connect the ipod into my computer and itunes detects it, itunes freezes and my new content doesn't get synced. the battery sign on my ipod shows that it's connected, but itunes doesn't respond to anything i do. Only after i disconnect my ipod does itunes start working again. any suggestions?

My 80GB ipod and itunes also freeze during sync. I tried resetting ipod, had Best Buy restore ipod, and have an extended warranty with Best Buy-they sent in my ipod and I got a replacement ipod. I have already checked my anti-virus and have scanned my computer for any problems, which none came up. So my laptop and ipod are good. Did not have any problems with ipod or itunes until I got the new update for itunes 9.2. The problem is with itunes updates, now I have an ipod with no music and cannot sync my music back into it. If they can't fix this, I will get rid of this ipod and never buy any apple products ever again.

Itunes freezes when trying to insert IPOD

Hello all,
We are trying to restore a click shell IPOD (+ HP). When Itunes is running and the IPOD is inserted in the base attached via USB to the computer (Dell D620), Itunes freezes thus preventing the restoration. I have tried to deinstall Itunes and reinstall but no luck. Any ideas?
Jordan

Since no one has replied to my requests, I will reply to myself.
It turns out that the IPOD may have had really bad stiction.
I got it restored using the origninal HP+IPOD CD installer. But then when trying to get all 485 songs downloaded in Itunes it got to about 147 and hung. So, I "carefully" tapped the sides of the IPOD actually harder than many times before. I then did a soft reset on the IPOD and started to download the 485 songs again from Itunes. This time it worked with no problems. Now, the question is whether it will hold up this time or start "sticking" again.
