When trying to install iTunes onto my computer Windows 7 64 bit the downloads keeps freezing - help

Help - have tried several times to download iTunes onto my computer and it keeps freezing - sometimes gets to 67% then just freezes all together - have been trying for nearly a week now

maybe you can let us know what the error message says. I would say you need to make sure you completely uninstall any previous iTunes installation/component first. Follow this guide:

ITunes CONSTANTLY freezing the computer

For about a week now iTunes just won't stop freezing my computer. Anything I do (listen to a song, download a song or update my iPhone/iPod), it will freeze. The computer starts making noises and eventually i have to shut off the computer and restart because it stops responding.
I've looked through all of the support procedures for things that are related to this and right now I have an empty iTunes library, and just when I thought it was fixed, I go to copy my information back into iTunes and it freezes again.
Please help! My iPhone has all my information on it, and I can no longer put any new things on it because of this.

mangofreee,
Have you tried the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 ?
Hope this helps,

Restoring iPhone from backup freezes my computer

I need to restore my iPhone from a previous backup (I think it's corrupt). When I plug it into my PC, it works normally. Everything syncs correctly to iTunes and works as expected. When I go to restore from a previous backup, it looks like it'll work fine, but midway my PC will freeze every time, forcing me to shut it down completely. The iPhone does restore part of the way, but acts as new when it comes to alarms, notes, passwords, home screen, contact ring tones, etc.
This has happened to EVERY iPhone I've ever used (3). I've reinstalled iTunes several times, updated drivers, updated USB drivers, ran iTunes in "safe mode" ... I've tried everything I can think of and research. Why will it freeze my computer every time with every iPhone???
The version of iPhone I'm currently using is 4S (but I've also tried with 3G and 4), firmware is up to date, iTunes is 10.6.3.25.
My computer is a PC that uses Windows 7.
If you have any other advice, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

Obviously, the problem is with your PC. Try creating a new user account and see if you have the same problem. If you don't, then the problem is in your user profile. If you do, you're going to have to dig deeper. Try a Windows forum or one dedicated to your specific make/model PC.

IOS 5 Corrupted Download Error

Hey,
I have an iPod touch 4G running IOS 4.3.5 and everytime I try to download IOS 5. It shows a download of 1.1MB, 0.84KB, 3.2MB or so and once that download is complete it says "corrupted download".
I have tried restoring my iPod, Restarting my computer, deleting software update folder, connecting to different USB port and downgrading and trying to upgrade again, but to no avail.
I think the iPod Touch 4g IOS 5 file in apple server is corrupted cause i tried to download it from a direct link. Still it downloaded only 1MB. I am not sure what the problem is though. That is why i put up this discussion. Does anyone have suggestions, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply!!!
but i have a dongle connection, and i have tried disconnecting and reconnecting. but it is not working. Glad to hear that your iPod went through the process smoothly.
Can you do me a favour, and click this link and say whether the download size is 1MB or something like that??? This is a direct link to the IOS provided by apple : http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4/061-9622.20111012.Evry3/iPod4,1_5.0_9A334_Rest ore.ipsw
It will help me identify whether its a error in my network connection or computer.
Will appreciate it very much if you could do this for me and post the reply. Thanks a lot!!!

Can't update from 10.0.0 to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up

Can't update to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up when using Pref/view/update/10.2.8 100 meg combo update. I have to wipe disk and reinstall 10.2.0
I can't find a stand alone combo that works with 10.2.0 - indeed I can not find any update for 10.2.0. I do find discussions of the 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 updates, and once one has 10.2.2 there is a combo to get to 10.2.8.
What is the solution - by the way I like 10.2.0 better than prior 9.2.2, and do not mind having to wipe disk and lose 9.2.2. But my wavelan 16 bit wireless PCMIA card, indeed any airport card, no longer is recognized. Indeed I can't find Airport. This is a 10 year old computer and files/docs etc are long gone (but life was good until I decided to move to X this month). How do I correct this lack of wireless (it does connect directly to my Ethernet line so getting on the web is no problem)?

Hello papau. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could try the 10.2.6 combo as that will install on 10.2
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70174
and then 10.2.8 which requires 10.2.6 can be downloaded here.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate_.html
Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities/ before you start and once again when you finish.
During the installation process, just wait till the system completes things and not use any other applications until the update is finished.

Photoshop cc freezing the computer (problem solved)

Hi fellows,
My photoshop CC was freezing my computer, especially if I was using another program. In addition, when I started to paint the brush lagged a lot. The whole problem was the scratch disk, at the beginning I tried to increase memory usage, but it did not work.
So, I realized that in the scratch disk option (Edit>preference>scratch disks) the first option was the drive C (I have two HDs), what I did was, using the arrows on the right hand side, move the second disk to the first option, since it contain more space, it seems photoshop use it first than it moves to the second disk, if necessary. Thing is, it worked, now everything works properly. If you have only one HD, try to get rid of some unnecessary stuffs to get more space.
Please let me know if this worked for you
Best

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:

Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Everytime i open firefox it checks for updates, it freezes my computer because it opens three tabs.

every time i open Firefox it checks for updates, it freezes my computer because it opens three tabs. How do i get this to stop? The three tabs are the new welcome to Firefox, my homepage and the download helper update page. I have gone into options, advanced, unchecked all the boxes in the update section. I never thought i would say I'm going back to explorer... help. Thank You. I am currently running Firefox 6 and the newest download helper version.

Adobe used to be choppy and would finally freeze the computer

I can't figure out how to update my earlier post so I posted again. For months Flash would be choppy on both video and audio play. Recently it would freeze the computer completely and a hard reset was the only answer. I tried the forums and was directed to the troubleshooting page. I followed that advice but found it made no difference. And device manager confirmed all drivers were up to date and working properly. I was going to have to reformat. As a last resort I did a search for drivers, but identifuying each of the componenets correctly I found to be impossible Finally one search turned up DriverMax. I know nothing about them but CNet gave them a favorable review. I had nothing to lose so I used it. After updating 7 "newly discovered" drivers, Adobe finally works perfectly. This is a bit disconcerting as the Troubleshooiting page only tells you to update drivers, and Device Manager tells you they are all up to date. I won't trust it again. I recommend you try this site and let us know if you have the same very positive experience I had. Maybe I am just lucky. Thanks

Yes, and it is an impressivem clear and comprehensive interface. Scan once and it produces a list of outdated drivers. You can download two a day free. It will create a Restore Point, you approve the install, you restart, test and then do the next one. You have to initiate/approve each step before they are implemented. Out of 7 drivers installed I only had to roll back one. I have tried the manufacturers site for updates before but the hardware, software and compatibility issues made it very problematic. I can't rebuild a transmission either and don't plan to learn how. And Windows always tells you the drivers are up to date. I have never had a Windows driver update produce one new driver. I have tried that properties/update drivers many times over the last 20+ years, and never saw one succeed.
Anyway, it is worth looking into. Let us know.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

IChat AV freezes entire computer

My husband's iChat crashes often and freezes the computer--he cannot force quit the application, the colored ball spins and spins and he must do a hard reset of his G4 Cube with lots of memory, running Tiger.
It crashes many of the times (but not every time) when he tries to do a video or an audio chat, There is no problem with written IMs.
Once in a while, he can hear me but his microphone shows him that it's not on and it won't go on, and of course, I cannot hear him.
Here is the log from this morning. I had him copy it immediately following his two consecutive freezes, one when he tried to AudioChat with me,(when I accepted, his machine froze) and one when I saw him back on line after that failed and I then tried to initiate an audio chat with him. When he accepted, he froze again. He emailed me this log.

Thanks for the additional info, Irene.
I was trying to suggest all the likely causes based on my experience that were not
b specifically
ruled out by the info you posted. I now understand that you are an experienced user who did not need to check some of my suggestions, but I did not know that from your initial post. I am just communicating here and trying to help.
Why would you assume the battery is bad...
I have four reasons, although I did not "assume the battery is bad". I only asked how long since it had been replaced.
(a) Because I did not know from your initial post that you were such an experienced user who could spot such problems.
(b) Because the Mac Cube is an old enough model to make a weak battery a possibility if it had not been replaced recently.
(c) Because the Performa PPC that I owned at the time the beautiful Cube was introduced
b twice
gave me strange problems (other than date and time) that required battery replacement to correct.
(d) Until your second post, I did not know that all other apps were working fine.
This is a log following a hard freeze (repeatable) caused by iChat/iSight, not following a kernel panic.
With that information, my first recommendation is
b still
a Safe Boot.
Then, and after again doing any other required maintenance, Apple's Isolating issues in Mac OS X Technical Support Article may be of help in tracking down what needs to be reinstalled.
