7.3 - minimized player not responding

just upgraded to 7.3, and when i minimize the player (thereby sending it down to the taskbar, showing basic controls) it stops responding. basically the mini-player appears, but won't work. the music continues to play, but i cannot change the song/volume, stop the music, close the program, or even maximize back to the normal-size player window! itunes even disappears from task manager so i can't end the task!
how aggravating! anyone else have this problem, and solve it somehow?

eskimoconqueso,
This is very odd. Can you try this:
1. Remove iTunes in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
2. Choose Run... from the Start Menu.
3. Type cmd and click OK.
A cmd.exe window will appear
4. Drag the iTunesSetup.exe from the Desktop into the cmd.exe window
5. Then type one trailing space
Copy and paste this text into the cmd window:
/l*v C:\log.txt
6. Press Enter on the keyboard.
This will start the iTunes installer with full logging enabled. After the installation is complete, a file named log.txt will be created on your C: drive. Please email me that file. Please include a link to this Discussions thread in your email, so I can keep everything straight.

Shockwave Player not responding or may be busy.

For several weeks now I keep getting a pop up window that says shockwave Player not responding or may be busy.Press stop or continue to see if the plugin will work.Firefox,Win7,bit 64.This seems to happen on just about any website.Why? How do I stop this ?

Given recent traffic on this forum along similar lines, I suspect your question relates to the Flash Player, not Shockwave. Please post your question to a forum at this link.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

Dvd player not responding, spits out dvd

My dvd player does not read dvds. It just spits out the dvd. This has only begun after I installed Lion.

The thing may need cleaning, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit.

Mp3 player not respond

I took my mp3 player off the charger, and now it won't respond. It is stuck on the opening screen and it says it is playing a song but there is no sound coming out. I can't get it to scroll through the different screens, and the only way I can get it to turn off is if the battery goes dead, or if I push the reset button, and when either of these happen after it comes back on the same screen appears.

Can you run a disk cleanup from rescue mode?

Zen player not responding/not turning on

My zen just stopped working. it was fully charged and I loaded it with music but when I turned it on later in the day to use while running, it didn't turn on. it won't respond to reset, charging and no computer recognizes it when I plug it in. seems I have a dead zen. I've tried everything I've read on several forums. Any more ideas would be appreciated.
I'm about to give up on my Zen. we've already had to send it in to the factory to be fixed once. these things are not made well.

I have the same problem with my zen stone, they told me in the Technical Support to connect it to PC,then push reset for 0 seconds and charge battery during two hours. It didn't help so in their opinion I should go to the shop I bought it and have it changed for another one. I don't think there is any other solution in your case too
I had MuVo before I bought Zen, the previous one was working perfectly whole three years, I don't know why Zen players are so much worse

"NOT RESPONDING" message whenever I start using my Windows Media Player

I don't know what it is that causes this - if it's something to do with having the lesser expensive Hewlett-Packard computers, but this is the 2nd HP laptop I've had and the one thing I've had in common w/both of them is that, one, I got them for under $500 - about $445 or so, w/tax...anyway, I suppose that the more expensive HPs are better and wouldn't have petty problems like this - but anyway, - the last one I had & this one I currently have - the last one was a Windows 7 and this one is Windows 8, so the O/S has nothing to do w/my problem. Anyway, it's like this: every time I turn on the PC, then get it all revved up & ready to go, etc. when I turn on my Windows Media Player (WMP) the thing comes up on screen and it sometimes takes a few seconds, since I have about 740 CDs worth of music on here, but anyway, once the CDs show up on the WMP album page (where they're put up in alpha. order of LP name, as opposed to artist names, etc) - and so, when I go from the "A"s downward, just paging through it, looking for something to listen to, for instance, it ALWAYS, inevitably, without fail, gets stuck, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but usually by the time I get to the Cs or Ds, the thing gets stuck and freezes up on me and I can't do anything w/it. Then, when I try to click the mouse a couple times or whatever, I get a message at the top of the WMP box - on the top of the box it reads "Windows Media Player", like usual, but when it freezes up like this and it stays stuck for anywhere from 10 seconds up to a minute sometimes, the message that pops up right next to the "WMP" label on the blue border reads "NOT RESPONDING". 99% of the time, it just takes a little patience and sometimes just clicking the mouse buttons a few times and/or hitting a few keys on the keyboard (not hard, just randomly pressing down on some) - then it will finally come back & unfreeze and I'm usually able to continue browsing through my catalog, but there has been other times when it seems to be in worse shape - it'll read "NOT RESPONDING" for a while and no matter how much I click the left or right mouse buttons, tap the mouse on the pad, or whatever, it might come unstuck for a few seconds, then, I think I'm OK again, but sometimes, as soon as it looks unstuck, I can't get it to move at all and right away the "NOT RESPONDING" message comes right back up (and the page fades a little too) - in fact, lately, just before I did a refresh thing on my PC to try & get things to work better, it was giving me big trouble, it would just sit there, stuck, frozen up and nothing I did would unfreeze it. I'd be frantically trying to unstick it, but no matter what I did, it'd still be frozen and when it does that, I can't get it to do anything. Recently, when it would do this, sometimes, if I had not tried to get too far down in the alphabet, I can get a certain album open and get it to start playing, but the "NOT RESPONDING" message will pop up now and again, but the music will play all right, uninterrupted.
Anyway, this is very annoying. It's been happening for so long now, that I basically take it for granted that it's going to freeze up on me when I 1st bring it up. I have no idea what's causing this to happen; like I said, this happened when I had a previous HP laptop that was working with Windows 7.
Kind of a long-winded way of putting this issue to anyone, but I just wanted to be clear and specific.
Is there ANYONE out there who owns a cheapo HP? (not a Compaq, the computer co. HP bought for that purpose, to make their cheap computers and differentiate them from the HPs) - But I wonder, it's been so long since I've even checked -does Compaq even exist anymore as a separate entity from parent co. HP? If not, then that explains why there's a difference between HP laptops that are $400 or so (at Best Buy) and the more slick, expensive HP laptops that have all the bells & whistles and usually run over $1000. Of course, I'm not about to shell out twice as much money to buy an HP just to see if the more expensive ones don't behave the way their cheap models do. I also had a Toshiba I bought about 3-4 years ago and I had even more problems with that - one instance was when the CD drive went out on me and I had to ship it in to HP (still under warranty, thank heavens) and they put a new drive in and shipped it back to me. It also crashed one time, and got infected with a virus or two or three, which meant I had to re-set the computer back to the original factory settings and, not having an external hard-drive with which to back up all my music, pix, documents, etc (my music is the most important stuff on my computer to me), which meant that I had to go through this long hassle of replacing all the music I'd lost. I have a lot of my own hard copies of CDs, but there were so many more CDs that I didn't have copies of, so I had to visit the library over & over, checking out as many as 25-30 CDs at a time on a lucky day, when the library had a lot of the CDs I needed to replace in my WMP. I don't want this to happen again, so I am going to get an external hardrive but I still don't know for sure if that would work. At least, by resetting the PC to factory settings I was able to get rid of the virus(es) that were screwing my computer up badly
So - has anyone out there had any similar problems? If so, I would appreciate any help or suggestions you may have as to how to deal with this sort of thing.
Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from one of you out there in the future.
Have a nice 4th...

Hello kmanthie,
I just sent you a private message. If you are not sure how to check your forum messages, this post has instructions.
I worked on behalf of HP.

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

Windows Media Player DLL is busy or not responding.

When I attempt to open a web page with Windows Media Player embedded, Firefox locks up for about 30 seconds, then a message appears that says "Windows Media Player is busy or not responding."
It offers to let me continue waiting, or stop the DLL.
If I continue waiting, the page eventually loads, and Firefox wakes up.
The embedded media player has a gray background and nasty-looking circa 1998 controls. (It used to have contemporary controls, resembling stand-alone media player.)
Embedded media player still works correctly with Internet Explorer, and shows the correct controls and user interface.
I've already set plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true - that wasn't it.
This seems to be a recent issue - earlier versions of Firefox handled the embedded media player fine.
I have npdsplay.dll version 3.0.2.629 and np-mswmp.dll 1.0.0.8 installed.
Thanks.

Hello JacksBack,
Some plugins that are no longer maintained, like the Windows Media plugin, have their files installed in a place that Firefox no longer supports.

Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) (not responding)

"Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) (not responding)"
I've been getting this message about every 10-15 minutes for the last week. I've taken to just leaving my "Force Quit Applications" window open so I can kill Flash Player as quickly and efficiently as possible. (It turns out that just doing that also force-quits the accompanying "Safari Web Content (not responding)" message.) Then I'm good for another 10-15 minutes until another opportunity rolls around for Flash Player to freeze my browser screen.
This problem started shortly after I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.10.3 (+ supplement) and Safari 8.0.5. I've downloaded Flash Player 3 times in the last week (most recently Version 17.0.0.169 earlier today), but to no avail. The only thing that seemed to help was trashing the Flash Player plug-in from my "Internet Plug-Ins" folder. But then, of course, I was SOL the next time I fired up a website that required it.
How can I make this problem go away?

Please try disabling hardware acceleration. See the instructions in the video troubleshooting guide for details:

Why do I get Mozilla Firefox not responding when I have Adobe Flash Player

Up until both Adobe and Mozilla Firefox updated I had full use of my computer. Now, with with both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash player I get the response "Mozilla Firefox not responding" I have eliminated all my plug ins and the computer is just fine until I enable Adobe Flash Player.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Open the options of your anti-virus, and tell it to leave the browsers alone.
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
