My iTunes keeps saying "application is not responding". what do i do?

my iTunes keeps saying "application is not responding". what do i do?

Hello khairanihariri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. if iTunes has become unresponsive, it is good to wait it out to see if it becomes responsive again. If it does not, then the next steps would be to preform a Force Quit on iTunes. The following article will assist with that process.
Mac OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon in the Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.
Additionally, you can force quit the front-most application in Mac OS X v10.5 or later by pressing Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds.

Why does my updated version of Firefox keep freezing telling me "not responding"? I have no plugins either..

When i start firefox it takes forever to load, sometimes it doesnt even load up my default site, it should load up www.google.com but instead it loads www.ask.com. The reason why is because the browser isnt working correctly.
When I try to view any website, or search on Google it takes forever for something to happen, and 95% of the time the whole browser almost turns completely WHITE, then at the top of the browser it says "Not Responding". I have to continue to close the browser and start a new session but it does the same thing.
I have no or extensions, nothing at all.
Whats going on? I never had problems with Firefox, what is going on?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Months ago

Where is the answer? I know the question that is how I got here in the first place. Again Where is the answer.

After most recent update, Firefox keep hanging intermittently with "Not Responding".

After the most recent update, my Firefox browser begins to hang intermittently with "Not Responding". I have checked the extensions and plug-in like Java, all of them are the latest updated ones. Everytime I open a new site or click on links to load another page, it happens. Every single time.

'''is there a solution ''(temporary OR permanent)'' for this problem yet?'''
i tried '''EVERY possible alternative'''; even when opened in ''''''safe mode'''''' or when installed for the first time w| '''NO addons or ANYthing else''' but the '''original default settings''', still does the same thing.
mozilla people?? really?? no answer|feedback|suggestions, anything at all from u guys??
if it isnt a version (browser, OS, addons, etc) issue, what is it that separates us from the users not having the problem?
this is is very frustrating; h|e it's even more frustrating when there is no response from tech support. is it because there havent been enough people who have reported this same issue so there can be some interest & find a fix; OR is it that u dont know; OR that there is not & will not be any fix?
we cant continue being users if we cannot use it. it's really my favorite browser, but if it doesn't work & u guys dont have a fix for it, then users w| this same problem wont have any other option but to switch to a different browser permanently.
really mozilla??? nothing? a reply would be very nice...

Itunes just asked me to do another update yesterday. But it's still not working. when ever i try to sync music to my ipod touch it keeps saying itunes is not responding and it freezes. Itunes please fix this problem!!!!!:-(

Itunes still is not working correctly. There was a software update that i received yesterday and i figured it would fix the problem with itunes not responding, but it didn't. It's still doing the same thing. I'm getting kinda annoyed cause i use itunes as my main music player so please help me fix this software issue thanks!

Hi Batman1981,
It sounds like you may be describing an issue where a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows is conflicting with iTunes and it's related components. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides suggestions that may resolve the issue.
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4123
You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
iTunes is slow to respond.
Windows is slow to respond.
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

When starting firefox it says restore session not responding and nothing happens

cursor shows that it is working but nothing happens I can not access the firefox button

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

We had to force quite iMovie, now we cannot get it to open. It keeps saying it is not responding. Any tips?

We were building a video in imovie when it stopped responding. We had to force quite the program. Now when we cannot get imovie to open.
Any tips?

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

It always says:Firefox is already running but not responding; what can i do to fix this problem; it has only started after having downloaded the latest verion.

I downloaded the latest version of firefox and the problem has started; it aways says: "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart your system; I have to do this about 3 times for the internet to come on again; what can I do, short of calling a technician??

I keep getting a rainbow wheel and a message that say webpages are not responding

Can someone help me? I keep getting a rainbow wheel and a message that says webpages are not responding.
Thanks,
Eric

All web pages or specific web pages? Provide an example link.
Does any other internet-related utilities work for you, e.g., mail?
Do you have a little green dot in you Network preferences next to Ethernet or Airport, whichever one you are using?

On switching on, a message says 'Firefox is already running but not responding...........' then tells me to close it and restart but how can I close it when the page isn't yet displayed?

When I switch on my computer I get the desktop then I try to click on Mozilla Firefox but get the message, 'Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or resart your system.' I looked up how to close but I need to click on 'file' then 'exit'. How can I do that when I can't see the page yet? IE is working fine.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Firefox keeps saying timed out

firefox keeps saying timed out for any place I go to in my browser. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps doing this. What is going on here? I cleaned my cookies and registry and temp files. It just wont work any more for me. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Illustrator 5 keeps freezing on me - "not responding"

I have Master Suite 5 installed on a Windows 7 64bit Dell.
Starting several months ago, Illustrator has begun to temporarily freeze when I have an ai file open that has been inactive for a while. For example: If I start working on a file in Illustrator, then switch to something else for 20 minutes, then go back to edit the ai file, the program is unresponsive and eventually says, "Illustrator is not responding". If I wait 30-45 seconds, the app unfreezes and I am able to work again on the file. This is not a problem in any of the other Adobe programs and only started in Illustrator several months ago. Before I go and reinstall the software, I was hoping somebody might have a suggestion.
Thanks,
Paul

Is 8GB of RAM a lot of RAM in your opinion? You have to keep into account that you are running a 64 bit system and in doing so your applications, that are 64 bit can access a lot of RAM. So if you are runnig other applications which are 64 bit whike running Illustrator that might cause a problem. I myself have 17 GB and plan to make that 24 GB of RAM beacuse thought I can work quite fast on my MacPro it would work better with 24GB.
If you are running the Master Collection and use all the applications you might want to think about 32GBs, I know of some one who has 64GB and they say things fly on a 64 bit system when you have that amount of RAM.
Don't get angry with me fr telling you this bt it is the way of the future.

Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified .... ,,,?

Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified but even tho I changed email in appleid.com and have signed into this forum with exactly same details it keeps telling me it's wrong .... Sooooooooo very very stressful

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple sends you by clicking on the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.
If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
