First time backup on Itunes freezes just after backup

My Iphone 3G has had its first backup but freezes just after in the process program screen at 20090705..... I am running Windows Vista. Please help as I would like to complete the process.

Make sure you don't have any iTunes addon installed (many of them are visualisers that may do other things like display lyrics and so forth). They can remain even if your reinstall itunes.
go to the iTunes folder and backup your itunes library xml and itl files to another location then delete them and try starting iTunes then.
That might help figuring out the problem

First time buying on itunes and i forgot the answers to my secrete questions, any help

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

HT201412 My screen is not display and when i try to sync with my iTunes with will not allow me to sync becuase this would be my first time syncing to itunes.

please help....This is my first time syncing to itunes and it it asking me to allow access, please respond on your ipad. this is my problem becuase my display not showing up so i cannot respond.
the only thing i can think of that happened was when there was a software update a few days and thats it.
Anyone know how i can get this resolved please and thank you.

Try this before trying to sync. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

Itunes keeps freezing just after it is opened!

After attempting to download the latest version of iTunes, I had the message that the download had not installed successfully and should attempt a manual download and install. However, every time I open iTunes it freezes after a minute or so and Task Manager informs me that iTunes is not responding. I've re-started my PC several times but the problem persists! Any ideas?

Have you had a look here...

After downloading ITunes 7.02, my ITunes freezes up after trying to open...

I recently downloaded ITunes 7.02. I tried opening the program after the upgrade, and it freezes on me. It happens right after I accept the licensing agreement. I get a message about my library being updated, and then it just freezes on me. I've tried several times to remove ITunes and all it's components, including QuickTime, and reinstalling it, but it has helped.

Yeah, sometimes when you start intalling and uninstalling a bunch of times, it makes a mess of files everywhere. First, try using the Windows Install Clean Up Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/).
I'm thinking of a few possibilities going on here. Unfortunately, I have not been on the boards much lately and am not familiar with most recent iTunes problems. First, try turning Off your Antivirus and Firewall software to rule out them quietly blocking the successful install of iTunes, thinking its some sort of malicious program. Try the install, and see what happens. Also, try going in and opening up Quicktime to see if it will open. Tell me what happens and any error messages you get. Meanwhile, I will poke around the Apple articles.

First Time Backup Using Ver. 7

After inserting my 3rd blank DVD during backup, the msg "tfswctrl.exe - wrong volume" (Please insert vol. Backup 2006-08-17 into drive E) appeared. The itunes screen indicates that music/data is still being written to the DVD. Am I safe to assume that itunes is in fact backing up? I responded to the msg with "continue".

Your post is confusing me a bit. You say you were backing up, but a backup is making a second copy of files in case you lose the first copy. Why did you then move the media folder to the trash? Drag it back to your iTunes folder.
Which tutorial did you follow? A link would help.
To properly back up iTunes the first time you would quite iTunes, copy (drag) the whole iTunes folder in your Home > Music to the external drive, disconnect the drive, then start iTunes as normal for continued use.
Perhaps you were trying to move your library to the external drive but if that's the case you need to say you want to move it, not back up.

ITunes Freezes Seconds after Startup

Hi,
It seems like after I installed the newest version of iTunes, it freezes seconds after startup, I literally can't do anything with it, I've even tried restarting it, and it still does nothing.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it, would love to be able to add and remove podcasts/music.
Thanks

Hello & Welcome to Apple Discussions,
I can post an error log if anyone will find it helpful.
Please go ahead & post it, most recent you can find more info the better. Your Home folder/~Library/ Logs-> Crash Logs most recent one.
Just copy and paste it in to a reply. They can be interesting to see i can't quite read them,( working on it:) I know others surely can. Good luck.

Itunes freezes just prior to software verification during pad/phone upgrade

Hi,
I'm posting this in a few forums to see if I can find an answer. Here's the deal:
Both my iPad and iPhone 3G freeze at the exact same place while performing the upgrade to iOS 4.0.1..freeze just prior to verification of software on devices. What this means to me is that I have to recover them..I tried on my Mac Pro several times, rebooted the machine etc...no luck. So just prior to calling Apple, I thought, what the hay, I'll try it on the iMac...both devices screamed through the process and upgraded/restored/recovered without a hitch. Brought them back to Pro and restored my old settings..fine.
Why?
The only difference with iTunes is that the Mac Pro has all of my music/videos/tvshows...the iMac is basically a clean slate iTunes.
Any suggestions...I don't want to reinstall iTunes on my Pro.
thx

I spoke to ipod tech support and was told "We do not support itunes. It is only a web based support" Which apparently does not exist.

First time update windows 8 is fine after second time i get failure message to configuring

my tablet pc is ativ smart pc pro. first time I wanted to updat my tablet bios it stuck and i turn it off after that i reinstall windows everything was fine first time i update my windows and its done but for second time it shows me that " failure
update configuring, reverting changes" I dont know what to do. I restore my system to first day but again give me same error. last time i just restore windows and didnt install any program and start to update again i get same problem.

Hi,
For your problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you contact Samsung to verify whether the BIOS upgrade would effect system ，
Secondly, if updates configuration failed, can you access into system? if so, please check which updates configure failed.
Thirdly, you can check WindowsUpdates log and CBS log to find the reason of this problem. if you had difficult to analyze these log, you can provide them to us.

My iTunes freezes immediately after opening. How do I fix it?

My iTunes (10.2.2) application freezes immediately after opening. This is after having to check the library. I have left it frozen before for several minutes before force quitting. What should I do?

My itunes freezes when after I hit the letter a

Hi, I have a few computers this is doing it on. First I hit the letter "a" then when I go to type in the next letter my itunes freezes and I have to shut down Itunes.
Other letters are fine. This is on Vista and WIndows 7

I'll assume you are using a Windows computer. Uninstall iTunes and reinstall using the directions in one of these support documents, depending on your version of Windows.

This is my first time using FCPX and I just completed editing a music video. What are the last things I have to do to get the best quality out of my video before I try to upload it to youtube?

I want my music video to look as crisp as possible. I was wondering if there were an tricks or tips that needs to be done before i upload it to youtube. This will be my first time uploading anything to youtube so im not sure. also what does rendering mean? and compressing? thanks

Best quality = "master file" export. You can export said file and store it where ever you like.
But quality "out" depends on what you put "in." You can never "improve" on the quality during the edit process. If you had low quality H.264 files to begin with, that's the best it's gonna get. If you had HQ ProRes422 or even 4444... (which is "above" 2k HD quality) those are great. And the output will be rich. But most likely, you will have to compress that file to exhibit it. (I'll get to that later.)
Now, when you share to YouTube, you will be limited on quality. They have a prescribed bit-rate and compression. (Even though they do offer 1080p.)
Now, you will NOT be able to share a "master" file to YouTube. Much too big.
Luckily, in the share options, FCPX has an option for "YouTube." It does all the compression for you. BTW: This is awesome. It finds your account and does the "posting" for you. It's simple.
Rendering = calculations made on various effects. A non linear editor has to build files for some effects... dissolves, moves, filters, etc, etc. The software does "math" and crunches numbers--to make your image animate across the screen, example. This is called "rendering." Depending on your preferences, this is done for you.
Now when you output or "share," rendering is done for you automatically. If you choose to see how an effect will look "smoothed out," you can choose to render a file on the fly.
Compression means just that. Video files are, by nature, huge... billions of O's and 1's. To make them flow thru various pipelines (the electronic infrastruture) most files are compressed--or made smaller. Basically, some of the duplicate O's and 1's are taken out. (It's much more complicated than that, I'm givng a laypersson's definition.) The more you compress, the less quality you get. The picture begins to look "jig-jagged" or pixelated. There is less detail in the picture.
When you go to "share" to YouTube, FCPX will do this compression for you, up to (or should I say, "down to") YouTube's specs.

FIRST TIMER: Backups and recovery. [W530]

First time ever attempting to create recovery media, so the questions may be numerous.
For the first time creating backup media for Factory Recovery image, how much space is required on the medium?
I would prefer to have it stored onto a USB stick because they are much easier to store and keep track of...
Also, If i wanted to switch from the 500gb HDD that I ordered with the thinkpad to a SSD in the future would running the Factory Recovery media onto that drive create an exact image compared to the one on the HDD (included with preloaded partition "Q: Lenovo_Recovery") If not, how would I go about transfering the data?
W530 i7-3840Qm. Quad K1000M. 16GB RAM. 16GB mSSD(expresscache). 500gb HDD

The Backup program copies the data in your Windows partition to another drive, so you need as much free space in your backup drive as you have used space in your Windows partition. It also takes a correspondingly long time to complete, so keep that in mind.
In order to make an exact copy of the whole drive, you need imaging software like Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, or something similar.
Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 32GB RAM, dual SSDs (Samsung 830, Crucial M4 mSATA), Quadro K2000M, 9-cell battery, DVD burner, backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, Intel 6300 wireless card
