A solution to my particular problem of iTunes 8.2.1 freezing.

Hopefully this might help others...
I was having the issue that shortly after launching iTunes, it would freeze and become unusable.
What was happening is that I have my podcasts set to automatically download new episodes. I finally narrowed it down to the fact that one of my favorite podcasts - The Ricky Gervais Podcast (a video podcast) was actually causing some kind of freeze as it was trying to download it. I force quit iTunes, restarted it with automatic podcast downloads turned off, unsubscribed, hit refresh all - and now everything is working, again. So certain podcasts may be causing some people's iTunes to freeze up.
So, while this may not help most people. Hopefully, it will help some.

As you probably already know, the iOS 4.3.3 update requries iTunes version 10.1 or later. It sounds like you are running an older OS that doesn't support any iTunes version later than 9.2.1. If that is the case, you'll need to upgrade your OS to a version that would support iTunes 10.1 or later.

IPod Touch stopped working after i upgraded it from iOS4.3.3 to iOS6. Now even if i restart my iPod it shows a iTunes symbol followed by a upward arrow mark and a USB symbol. I cannot find any solution for this particular problem in Help section.

I tried to upgrade my iPod from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 6 through iTunes. As soon as it completed the download of the 840 MB file, it said that my iPod is being restored. But after a considerable amount of time it said my iPod could not be restored and stopped. Now my iPod screen is just displaying a iTunes symbol followed by an upward arrow mark and then a USB symbol.
iTunes has stopped to detect my iPod anymore. I tried to update iTunes 10.7 as requested in the website support page. But if I check for updates in iTunes it is detecting the available updates but not updating it when i click on the update button.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Problem with Itunes making my computer freeze

Hi there i've got a frustrating problem. Whenever I open Itunes, my mouse freezes and my computer takes a very long time to load itunes. If I leave the mouse alone, Itunes will seem to work fine, srcolling through the top banners without problems, but everything freezes whenever I move my mouse. this happens only when iTunes is open. What's the deal?
Thanks, Zach

Nevermind! i manually installed the update and the problem is gone.

There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

I need a solution of this complicated problem to finalize my final project

Introduction
This project revolves around an important text processing task, text compression. In particular, you will be required to encode a sequence of words read from a source file into binary strings (using only the characters 0 and 1). It is important to note that text compression makes it possible to minimize the time needed to transmit text over a low-bandwidth channel, such as infrared connection. Moreover, text compression is helpful in storing large documents more efficiently. The coding scheme explored in this project is the Huffman Coding Scheme. While standard encoding schemes, such as Unicode and ASCII, use fixed-length binary strings to encode characters, Huffman coding assigns variable-length codes to characters. The length of a Huffman code depends on the relative frequency of its associated character. Specifically, Huffman coding capitalizes on the fact that some characters are used more frequently than others to use short codewords when encoding high-frequency characters and long codewords to encode low-frequency characters. Huffman coding saves space over state of the art fixed-length encoding and is therefore at the heart of file compression techniques in common use today. Figure 1 shows the relative frequencies of the letters of the alphabet as they appear in a representative sample of English documents.
Letter     Frequency     Letter     Frequency
A     77     N     67
B     17     O     67
C     32     P     20
D     42     Q     5
E     120     R     59
F     24     S     67
G     17     T     85
H     50     U     37
I     76     V     12
J     4     W     22
K     7     X     4
L     42     Y     22
M     24     Z     2

Huffman coding and decoding
Huffman’s algorithm for producing optimal variable-length codes is based on the construction of a binary tree T that represents the code. In other words, the Huffman code for each character is derived from a full binary tree known as the Huffman coding tree, or simply the Huffman tree. Each edge in the Huffman tree represents a bit in a codeword, with each edge connecting a node with its left child representing a “0” and each edge connecting a node with its right child representing a “1”. Each external node in the tree is associated with a specific character, and the Huffman code for a character is defined by the sequence of bits in the path from the root to the leaf corresponding to that character. Given codes for the characters, it is a simple matter to use these codes to encode a text message. You will have simply to replace each letter in the string with its binary code (a lookup table can be used for this purpose).
In this project, you are not going to use the table given in Figure 1 to determine the frequency of occurrence per character. Instead, you will derive the frequency corresponding to a character by counting the number of times that character appears in an input file. For example, if the input file contains the following line of text “a fast runner need never be afraid of the dark”, then the frequencies listed in the table given in Figure 2 should be used per character:
Character          a     b     d     e     f     H     i     k     n     O     r     s     t     u     v
Frequency     9     5     1     3     7     3     1     1     1     4     1     5     1     2     1     1
Figure 2. The frequency of each character of the String X.
Based on the frequencies shown in Figure 2, the Huffman tree depicted in Figure 3 can be constructed:
Figure 3. Huffman tree for String X.
The code for a character is thus obtained by tracing the path from the root of the Huffman tree to the external node where that character is stored, and associating a left edge with 0 and a right edge with 1. In the context of the considered example for instance, the code for “a” is 010, and the code for “f” is 1100.
Once the Huffman tree is constructed and the message obtained from the input file has been encoded, decoding the message is done by looking at the bits in the coded string from left to right until all characters are decoded. This can be done by using the Huffman tree in a reverse process from that used to generate the codes. Decoding the bit string begins at the root of the tree. Branches are taken depending on the bit value – left for ‘0’ and right for ‘1’ – until reaching a leaf node. This leaf contains the first character in the message. The next bit in the code is then processed from the root again to start the next character. The process is repeated until all the remaining characters are decoded. For example, to decode the string “0101100” in the case of the example under study, you begin at the root of the tree and take a left branch for the first bit which is ‘0’. Since the next bit is a ‘1’, you take a right branch. Then, you take a left branch (for the third bit ‘1’), arriving at the leaf node corresponding to the letter a. Thus, the first letter of the coded word is a. You then begin again at the root of the tree to process the fourth bit, which is a ‘1’. Taking 2 right branches then two left branches, you reach the leaf node corresponding to the letter f.
Problem statement
You are required to implement the Huffman coding/decoding algorithms. After you complete the implementation of the coding/decoding processes, you are asked to use the resulting Java code to:
1.     Read through a source file called “in1.dat” that contains the following paragraph:
“the Huffman coding algorithm views each of the d distinct characters of the string X as being in separate Huffman trees initially with each tree composed of a single leaf node these separate trees will eventually be joined into a single Huffman tree in each round the algorithm takes the two binary trees with the smallest frequencies and merges them into a single binary tree it repeats this process until only one tree is left.”
2.     Determine the actual frequencies for all the letters in the file.
3.     Use the frequencies from the previous step to create a Huffman coding tree before you assign codes to individual letters. Use the LinkedBinaryTree class that we developed in class to realize your Huffman coding trees.
4.     Produce an encoded version of the input file “in1.dat” and then store it in an output file called “out.dat”.
5.     Finally, the decoding algorithm will come into play to decipher the codes contained in “out.dat”. The resulting decoded message should be written to an output file called “in2.dat”. If nothing goes wrong, the text stored in “in1.dat” and the one in “in2.dat” must match up correctly.

IOS Remote and Home Sharing problems with iTunes 10.6.3

I'm having a problem with Home Sharing and the iOS Remote app accessing iTunes since the 10.6.3 update. I have the following:
2011 Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3
IPhone 4 running iOS 5.1
iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1
Latest model Apple TV
The Remote app on both the iPhone and iPad are unable to connect to the iTunes library on the Mini (the app will just sit there trying to connect but never make a connection). The Apple TV is showing the same behaviour: when I go into 'Computers' it tries to connect to my library without success.
I've tried a few things:
1) Turning off and re-enabling Home Sharing on the Mac Mini
2) Deleting my library in the iOS app and then re-adding it
In both cases this seemed to work at first, but then after a while I was unable to connect again.
I have since discovered that if I quit and restart iTunes on the Mac this seems to resolve the issue on all of the other devices. But again this is a short term fix and after a while they are once again unable to connect.
The Mac Mini is always on and is set to not sleep (although I have to enter the password again after an hour).
At first I thought this might be time related, and that if the Mac had been idle for a while and the drives were 'sleeping' then the issue would occur. However, if I have left the Mac for several hours and then go back to it and login and start something playing in iTunes the other 3 devices still cannot connect even though iTunes is active and reading from the drive. As soon as I restart iTunes they can all see the library again for a while.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
Mark

Same thing here except I'm not running server software on the Mac Mini. The Apple support person said that iTunes is the same, server or not. He recommeded setting sleep to never, but I get the same connection problems. I also automatically restart the Mini and relaunch iTunes on startup every morning at 6 AM. And, as with your experience, the only temporary solution is to quit and restart iTunes at the time that I want to connect. Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad all have the same connection problem. My only hope at this point is 10.8. I have to say, 10.7 has never behaved better than a beta release. I hope they took a little more time with Mountain Lion.
Sorry I don't have a solution. I wanted to add my name to the list and hope someone out there has some insight to share.

TS1717 Having problems lauching iTunes on my pc, dowloaded new version, getting error message that iTunes is not installed correctly or corrupted, reinstall. I'm afraid I will loose everything,tried to back up to earlier date,system diognosis said incompa

Having problems launching iTunes on my pc. Had iTunes on this particular pc for over a year. Have downloaded all of the new updated versions. Now I get an error message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall." I have backed up the pc to an earlier date when when the program was working, and also performed serveral system diagnosis all saying the program is incompatible. Searched for several compatible programs, none worked. All this happened several days after visiting iTunes. I'm afraid that if I reinstall iTunes that I will loose everything and have to start all over. Eventhough everything is saved in an iCloud account and this particular pc. Never had a problem till now. Appreciate any help. Thank you, cld

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

Hi there,
I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
Thank you for your time in replying!
Marmotte

There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly. I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here. Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

I want to add that I deleted all the old back-ups and created a new back-up without any issues except sync problem.

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.
