Freezing while searching on Itunes 11.

I installed Itunes 11 on my MacPro running 10.8.2 When I try to search my large library, iTunes freezes. Why and how to fix?

Cover flow was removed in iTunes 11.

I have the same problem with new late 2013 Retina 15" Mac Book Pro and Bridge CS6. With older Mid-2010-mac Book Pro it was running OK. In both cases was used the built-in card reader. Any solution?

Western Digital 1TB My Book Pro Freezes while listening to iTunes.

MP3 collection is on the MyBook.
iTunes plays MP3s when all of a sudden, during a song, it halts playback and Finder with it (beachball).
Can't access Finder nor the mounted MyBook drive. Any kind of query on the MyBook (through Terminal or Disk Utility) at this point hangs the app that is querying. MyBook lights are on constantly.
Upon shutdown the system hangs at the blue screen forever until I do a hard shutdown with the MBP's power button and disconnect from FW800 port at which point drive turns off.
Upon restart it's fine until I go into iTunes again and hangs again (not at the same song). I am able to replicate this problem everytime.
Any suggestions?

What are your Energy settings? Is your MacBook or MyBook going to sleep? You say you can repeat it, is it repeatable at exactly the same time? If so this would make me think it is something to do with your power settings.
Hey Rimcrazy, no my MBP is not going to sleep. The power settings are to set to Custom which leaves the MBP always on 24/7 pretty much. The problem is indeed repeatable but not at the same time. I've emailed WD about it and I have yet to receive answer. The MyBook is going to sleep when not active (normal) and the data seems to be intact after numerous hard shutdowns.

Freeze while accessing iTunes Store

When it try to use column browser to search for podcasts iTunes freezes while "accessing iTunes Store" and I have to force quit iTunes. Why is this?

No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Itunes freezes when searching

Every time I search in itunes., it freezes up and I have to restart it. This started when I updated to Mavericks OS. I just cleaned up my hard drive to avbout 45% used and reinstalled Mavericks. The problem is still there.
I am using a late 2008 Imac. Any thoughts?

Mine did something very similar - when I tried to search, I got a message saying that it couldn't contact the iTunes Store. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and afterwards it worked, but the fix might have had nothing to do with that uninstall/reinstall. I wasn't able to contact the iTunes Store through my iPod either, and that didn't work for a while even after the reinstall. Then eventually it ran correctly as well.
I'm inclined to believe that there was something wrong at iTunes, not on my end. Have you tried again recently? Hopefully it'll be working again, like mine is.

Ipod and itunes(especially itunes)will freeze while syncing

i pod and itunes will freeze while syncing, all apps are there, but no music?Itunes says ipod has latest updates, I reinstalled Itunes, powered off/ sleep a couple times still not syncing any help? Thanks

Which application are you watching the videos..... QuickTime, VLC, etc.? Which version? If QT are you using v10 or v 10.7.x? The latter is located inside your Utilities folder. If using VLC, you should be using the latest version.
Type of video files = .mov, .mp4, .mkv, etc.?

While watching purchased movies on itunes....Movie stalls/freezes, While watching purchased movies on itunes....Movie stalls/freezes

While watching purchased movies on itunes....Movie stalls/freezes, While watching purchased

Try to reboot your computer. If that doesn't work, try deleting the movie and redownloading it (assuming no other AppleID is associated with your computer).
If neither of those work, try contacting the iTunes store.

ITunes freeze while listening radio through Apple TV

Hi there.
I've got problem with iTunes. It's freezes while I listen internet radio through Apple TV. It happens after about 15-20 minutes. Music continue plays but iTunes freezes and do not open. All updates to Mac and Apple TV has been installed.

Hi Dreanmachine1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you purchase a song on your Apple TV, it is available on all of your devices. There are a few reasons why you may not see the song on your iOS devices or your MacBook Pro. They may not be set up to download purchases automatically, or you may not have been signed into the iTunes Store.
I'd suggest trying to download the purchases on your other devices using the steps in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You may also want to check your automatic download settings, so you can receive future songs automatically. See this article for help:
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads

All the best,
Jeremy

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.

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

Itunes keeps freezing on search function

I can't search for any songs in my library. As soon as I punch in any letters in the search bar the whole thing freezes up. Eventually itunes crashes.
Is there any help for this or do I have to reinstall itunes? (not even sure how I woudl do that).
I have the latest version - and I have already rebooted my computer.
Needless to say, this makes itunes totally useless for me - I have a really big library and certainly don't want to scroll forever to find songs! Also this is a brand new thing. Had my Mac for a year and this is the first time this has happened.

Your library might be super huge. I would suggest clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the search field and deselecting "Search Entire Library."

My ipod freezes while backing up and wont let me sync anything :S

can someone please help me..i restored the old setting on my ipod to see if it will work but now i just have an empty ipod touch..it wont let me sync my ipod because it keeps freezing while backingup..

Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to make an entire new file. It is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;
Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme 4-M, Socket 2011 - Micro ATX - 4 DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 - 3 PCI-E 3.0 x 16 - 7.1 CH HD Audio - PCIE GLAN - 3 SATA3 - eSATA3 - 4 SATA2 - 4 USB 3.0 - 10 USB 2.0

RAM - Ballistix by Crucial - 2x 8GB Tactical PC3 - 12800 CL8 1.5 VW/XMP = 16GB RAM
SSD - Crucial M4 SSD 128GB - Comptatibility with 6Gb/s & backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200 RPM up to 32mb cache
Power Supply - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
Graphics Card - EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 - DirectX11 - CUDA - OpenCL Support - PhysX Technology - OpenGL 4.1 (so says the box it came in; but if I'm not mistaken I think the command prompt had shown OpenGL 3 or 3.2)
Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.
UDK 2-2012 & 3-2012
NVIDIA PhysX Lab 1.1
NVIDIA Texture Tools 2
NVIDIA plugin for Photoshop
xNormal
ConTEXT
UnCodeX
Quicktime
AVG Free
Malwarebytes
7-Zip
Java
Sculptris
As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

ITunes 10.7 upgrade - 'Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes'

Upgraded to iTunes 10.7, which I now regard as one of the poorest pc-related decisions I've ever made. The time suck on this issue is massively depressing.
Running Windows Vista. Have completely uninstalled and re-installed (clean registries, re-boots etc) all iTunes and Apple products with no resolution.
Every time I try to start iTunes I get a "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes" message on loop. At some point it will usually default to "Checking iTunes Library" and then both that and the installer will run in tandem. When I look at Task Manager it seems to indicate from the amount of memory usage that iTunes is in fact running in some form or at some level, but it does not actually open the program.
When I reinstalled yesterday iTunes opened right up (after the install it did not ask me to reboot the system). When I restarted the system this morning the problem was back. Just installs and installs and installs ... Doesn't actually open. Wouldn't any registry conflict/problem have been fixed with the clean reinstall?
I've tried every solution/trick/suggestion I can find with internet searches. No luck. This has been a month now. iPhone and various iPods completely inaccessible re content and that really hammers home the danger of relying on a closed system like this. Really disappointed in this situation.
Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

I am using iTunes 7.1.1
