Computer Freezes while importing and converting music

I recently updated to Itunes 10.1.2, and now anytime I want to import a cd to my library or convert a non-aac format song into aac format, my computer freezes. Whats weird is my computer only freezes at 99.9 % importing/converting. i.e If I want to import a cd with 16 tracks, itunes will import the first 15 and then almost finish the 16th when my computer freezes. The first 15 songs are then added to my library and run properly upon restart of my computer but the 16th is not. Converting does the same thing even i convert only one song. I've tried re-installing, and downgrading to an older versions of itunes (9.2.1.5) and the same problem occurs. Any suggestions?

I am also having the same problem. Itunes freezes doesn't respond for awhile. Here is the diagnostic results:

i've got this problem when I change my ipod nano to ipod Generation 5

Computer freezes while updating security.

Hello again. My computer's problems have only intensified. Originally my computer would only freeze while multi-tasking or under heavy graphic stress. Now, the computer freezes while preforming mundane tasks such as moving a window. It's branched into other problems.
I cannot complete the download of the new security update. My computer freezes mid-download, regardless if I'm doing anything else or not.
My computer is even freezing while loading itself up. I have been told previously that my computer has a video-card issue and that the card was integrated into the computer. Now, I'm not so sure that is the problem. These freezes and glitches started some time after I performed a virus and spyware scan. I think that the scan may have corrupted a file during it's search.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. It was finished with the update and when I pressed the restart button, it was ready to restart, then I got the blue screen with that loading image that goes round in a circle. I waited like 5-10 min and by the time that happened the screen was blank, but it still made noise that the computer was still running. So I did the cold shut down and restarted it.

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

I recently bought some songs from itunes, and I tried to sync my mac air laptop to my nano ipod, but it didn't work. I usually use my PC computer to do this, and my music is in the itunes library on my mac, it just won't sync to my ipod. Any ideas?Thanks!

IPOD freezes while SYNCING - and then gets file error

Hello all,
i have a standard 40gb click wheel ipod, quite old, it works, but limited. The ipod just freezes while syncing now, it has been restored numerous times, but 2 not much avail, i can get one or two albums on there, then everytime i try and sync the ipod just freezes, and has to be reset. Every TIme i plug the ipod into my vista laptop it says, the says. SCAN AND FIX, ( because i couldnt get anything else to work i tried this ) and this is what vista told me
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9118/vistafixesipodlu5.png
i was like woah, so i proceded to restore the ipod then it seemed to work, for a day. then went back to the freezing while syncing, then next time i plugged in the ipod, windows said the disk needs to be formated before it could be used, so i tried that ( cos itunes was doing sweet **** ALL ) and windows couldnt format it, and neither cos HP USB FORMAT Tool. so i reset the ipod, plug it back into vista, and behold, SCAN AND FIX COMES UP, so i click it, it fixes it, but only loads 1 album before it freezes while syncing again, i have the screenshots,it took 11 screenshots, to get the FULL MESSAGE, that vista chkdsk gave me, there was thousands of these "BAD LINKS IN LOST CHAIN at CLUSTER XXXXX Corrected" messages
im currently listening to Three Days Grace on the ipod, works GREAT, except if i try and put more then this ONE album on it, it freezes while syncing, and gives me the unknown file error. SO any ideas if this ipod can be fixed, cos itunes cant do anything, im assuming there is physical unrepairable damage to the HDD of the ipod and will need replacing if this ipod wants to be in full working order again.
The ipod is NOT under warranty either, so does any1 know where in Australia, it be fitted with a new HDD? Thanks
kind Regards,
Hayden

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. What do I need to do to fix problem.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

Computer freezez while trying to import

Just today my computer is starting to freeze when I import songs from a CD using iTunes. I tried to run the CD diagnostic and it freezes it up during that as well. It was working perfectly fine and now it doesn't. I tried ripping from the same CD drive using Windows Media Player and it worked totally fine. I even checked the box in preferences that says: use error correction (under the import tab) and that doesn't even work. I'm really very frustrated because my computer never freezes up, ever. Until now. I can't even do anything I have to manually reset the computer.

I have the same problem. I have only just upgraded to an 80G iPod, it worked for a few weeks and now can't import any CDs (stopped working just over a week ago). I've removed the iTunes software (and QuickTime) and reinstalled, I've tried using an external USB CD drive in place of my internal drive and get the same symptoms. iTunes takes over a minute to open but appears OK. When I insert a CD the drive spins, I get the automatic pop up asking what I want to do with the CD and regardless of whether I close this window or choose import using iTunes, iTunes freezes. I originally suspected the Matshita drive but the external drive (Iomega Super DVD) has the same problem. The diagnostics don't work either unless I start them and then immediately insert the CD (see below). Is there anyone in Apple that can help with this? My iPod is now useless.

Computer freezes when importing or burning audio CD

I'm ready to take a hammer to my computer! EVERY time I attempt to import or burn a CD my computer freezes at some point. It's very erratic, may import none, one or some songs, very, very rarely a whole cd. Don't get any error messages and I am unable to CTRLALTDELETE as whole system is locked.
As I've bought a large amount of music from iTunes I don't wish to lose it or be limited to just listening on my iPod.
As I've wrestled with this problem for some time can anyone at all help?
Have run diagnostic test and everything appears okay.
Brenda

Have downloaded latest iTunes - still problem persists. Attempted to burn disc - only got as far as "checking playlist" when system froze. CTRLALTDELETE always fails to respond when this happens - keyboard doesn't respond either.
Have run another CD diagnostics check immediately afterwards, and checked Event Viewer - perhaps this can help? Don't know why I get error message relating to Windows XP Professional as I don't have this system.

FCE Freezes while importing video

While importing video, FCE freezes, usually within 3-4 minutes of capture. I have to force quit. I am using Capture Now. I have no problem importing with iMovie. In fact I've been importing in to iMovie and then copying the clips into FCE to get around the freeze. I have my clips saved to a 500GB external drive and my camcorder is a Panasonic PVGS-300. I have imported into FCE many times before. This is the first time this has occurred and I haven't changed anything in my setup or added anything to the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm having the same problem.
Yesterday, I captured 45 minutes in 4 minute sections, and spent the morning editing.
It got slower & slower & slower.
I saved all, quit & browsed the internet for a while.
The computer continued to whir for some time.
I went back into FCE & it was back up to speed.
I suspect imminent hard drive failure.
Does anyone have an opinion on my diagnosis?

Importing and Converting AIFF to MP3

Purchased a CD with 12 AIFF files of music. Copied files to USB drive and inmported to iTUNES 8.0.2 and successfully imported files but the artist info and album name are gone. My ultimte goal was to convert from AIFF to mp3 so I could load it on Blackberry Bold 9000 on microSD card. Is there a way to import AIFF files while retaining info on music and save as mp3 files ?

AIFF files have no tagging. This article explains how iTunes remembers CD's - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93952
To be as painless as possible I would import/rip the tunes directly from the CD into iTunes and allow iTunes to go to the internet to fill in the blanks. If you do it this way then iTunes should tag the mp3's.

Computer freezes while browsing the photos

It happened already few times that I was simply browsing the photos in Aperture and suddenly the computer (MBP Retina) has completely frozen and forced shut shut down had to follow. A bit strange ? (while database repair was done few times before, even database rebuilt). Something still not so good in the software ?

I have Nikk plugins but they are not used on those photos. This freezing, as I remember, started after Mavericks. I simply browse among photos (in the large view) and suddenly the cursor and the whole computer freeze (once in few days)
Plug-ins can be causing this, without being used, just by being installed, if they are incompatible.
Check the versions of your NIK plug-ins, if you have missed an update. In November the NIK collection has still been reported as incompatible with Mavericks, I am not sure, if that has changed.
Does a new Aperture library work? Create a test library and import a few images. Freezing might also be caused by having imported corrupted images or videos.

Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

b noir,
I also have had this same issue. In reading your reply, I've also saved my CD diagnostics....they are included below. I'm fairly convinced that my problem lies in the drive. It is causing WM Player to lockup as well. Please help....thanks.

Itunes freezing while importing a certain cd?

I am trying to import "Audioslave" by Audioslave and it keeps freezing while trying to import the second track on this album. When this happens I am forced to eject the cd to get itunes to respond. If I uncheck all but the second track, the rest of the cd will import fine. The cd is in fairly rough condition, with some scratches, but I thought if this was what caused the problem the cd would not import at all. Would this cause it to freeze like this or is it something else? What other issues could cause this?
Thanks

That sounds like the problem is in the CD. But first, if you have not checked the error correction box, check it and try to import that track again. If no joy, rip that track in another program, such as Windows Media Player or CDex.
If those don't help, the next thing to do is to get one of those services that will re-surface your CD for a few bucks, to solve the scratch problem. If all else fails, buy that one track from your favorite online music download store.
