Help Itunes hangs when opening

I have 250GB of music located on a HP Mediaserver located on my network. My main computer is connected via a N network. Everytime I open Itunes it hangs for a very long time. When it unfreezes, it will play music, but take a very long time when searching for this selected music. It also freezes during playback. Any ideas?

So I managed to shortly the hang time significantly by moving the itunes music folder location to the network drive. Previously it was local on my laptop. It still hangs but only for about a minute now.

  • NEED HELP ITUNES FREEZES WHEN OPENED PLEASE HELP

    hello all
    whenever i open itunes on my macbook, the loading pinwheel comes up and doesn't go away until i quit itunes or turn off my computer. my itunes will 'freeze' whenever i open it and will not let me play songs or anything. please help me!

    There are a lot of things that could cause this and your songs are rarely in jeopardy when the issue is iTunes so don't worry.
    If you could give us your iTunes version number, and the OS version you currently have those would help narrow a little.
    Did you install or change anything around the time that this started happening?
    Also explain exactly what happens. does the itunes window open than hangs with pinwheel or does the application bounce like it's going to open then hang instead.
    I would, even if just for good maintenance, repair permissions by going to your utilities folder opening Disc Utility selecting your HD from the left and clicking verify disc permissions. Also make a new user to test to see if iTunes opens there, if it works in a new user it's an issue with one of your user specific files, and there would be much less to sort through.
    More info will help a lot in figuring out whats going on.

  • Help, iTunes crashing when opening!

    I'm helping out a friend who is haping some trouble with her newly upgraded iTunes. This is her summary of the problem.
    "I'm on a Windows XP computer just so you know. When I tried opening iTunes, it said something about sending an error report. I did and a window popped up that said Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update, and there was a link on that page which lead me to this article. It sounded like it covered my problem, but I couldn't delete anything by QuickTime like it said to. When I tried it would say the following file does not exist or is not a valid uninstallation log file. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime, and I tried getting into Windows Explorer and getting into the files to delete QuickTime, but that wouldn't delete it either. I don't know why iTunes constantly has an error report pop up whenever I try to open it, and QuickTime won't delete. Could someone help me?"
    I was trying to help her but everything I could think of was not working.
    Please help.

  • ITunes Hangs when first opening

    I have iMac, late 2009 i7 2.8 with 12 GB Ram. Latest Lion and iTunes. My iTunes library is on an external Firewire 800, 7200, 128 cache HD. I have 17,000 songs. Everything has worked great before. When I open iTunes, everything loads quickly. But, when I go to play a track, I get the Beach Ball for about 90 seconds. Then the track plays fine. After that, all other tracks play fine and instantly. Here's what I have tried
    Rebuilding permissions (external and internal drive)
    Disk repair (both drives)
    Hardware test All OK
    SMART Status OK
    Removed all playlists
    Unplugged and plugged in RAM modules (no luck)
    Changed FW cable
    Trashed iTunes Preferences
    Option click iTunes to change libraries
    Removed Focusrite DAC from chain to internal speakers only
    All other apps work fine. I have no plug ins or smart playlists. Hangs even if I make a new user account. Please help

    Well I finally figured this one out. I defragmented my external HD. iTunes is faster than it ever has been (my itunes media folder is on external drive). I ran Drive Genius and it showed that my external mirror drive was 15% fragmented. You can see specific fragmented files and everyone was an iTunes track. It took 20 hours for the softwar to complete the defrag process and my External HD is running like a dream. I guess iTunes hangs when trying to search for the location of tracks.

  • JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 hangs when opening project from JDeveloper 11.1.1.6

    Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
    Jan 16, 2013 8:52:09 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
    SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
    Jan 16, 2013 8:52:10 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
    SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
    But I don't know what could be the next step... Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your attention!

    Hi,
    not sure if you have a support contract or work for Oracle. In both cases the best option is to file a bug (service request)

    Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

  • Dreamweaver hangs when opening

    Running DW MX 2004, with updater 7.0.1 applied, on a Sony PC
    with Win XP, DW hangs when opening. I have waited as long as 10
    minutes to see it it every responds, and it doesn't.
    I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and terminate the application. When
    re-opening, it opens normally.
    Not connected to a network, site files on local C drive.
    It seems to have started happening after applying the 7.0.1
    updater.
    Anyone have any solutions to this?

    Hi JillTW,
    DW 7 had some serious time lags. Search the
    Macromedia.Dreamweaver groups on
    Google's groups for slow DW and look for postings over a year
    old. The fixes
    they discuss may help solve your lockup problem.
    If you are working on a large site, 10 minutes might not be
    enough time for
    DW 7 to resolve cache issues. Look at your Task Manager to
    see if it is
    working (high cpu usage on Dreamweaver.exe) or not
    responding. Even if it is
    not responding a high CPU usuage may mean it is in progress
    and just
    ignoring the keyboard/mouse.
    Also, you might want to try to clear the site cache (or just
    check its
    size - a little one should not take long to process even if
    corupt) before
    starting DW. Adobe tells how to remove the cache here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=5989f7f4
    Look for the cache in: C:\Documents and
    Settings\<user>\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\SiteCache
    The file is named: {yoursitenamehere}.dws
    I suggest moving it to another folder for safe keeping until
    you know if
    this is the problem.
    Upgrading to DW8 is a major improvement in speed.
    Best of luck,
    Alan C

  • Photoshop CS3 Hangs when opening files

    PS hangs when opening, duplicating images. The longer it's on the longer the wait. I'm talkin' 15 - 20 seconds. Deleted the prefs multiple times.
    Anybody else having this problem?

    Set your default printer to something local, that is actually hooked up.
    When Photoshop creates the document, it asks for the default printer information - and your printer driver is taking a nap while trying to connect to the printer.

  • Microsoft Word Hangs When Opening Document From SharePoint 2010 Document Library

    I am running into an issue where Word hangs when opening certain files from a document library.  When the issue occurs, Word opens and hangs at the Downloading <Doc URL> stage.  I have tried disabling the SharePoint plugins in IE and that
    makes no difference.  I can download a local copy of the file and open in just fine.  The file in questions exists in a separate document library where it can be opened just fine (The file was copied to the library where the issue is occurring by
    a Workflow).  The issue also has only occurred on .docx files and not .doc, however, not all docx files are having the issue.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that when you opened a certain files from a document library, it hanged at the downloading stage.
    I tried to reproduce the issue, after coping by a workflow, the .docx files opened well in my environment.
    Did the issue occur in other documents libraries? You can copy the files to a new documents library by workflow, then check whether it works.
    For more details we also can check the SharePoint ULS logs.
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
    Have you check your IE settings (Tools->options->connections->LAN settings->uncheck Automatically detect settings).
    Please also use fidder tools to detect the process. You can download it by the following link.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when opening file

    Starting recently Dreamweaver CS6 hangs for 30 seconds or more, sometimes saying not responding, when I open an HTML file. It appears to do this when the file contains links to external places. To test I created a file that contained nothing except the "new HTML file" basic headers, saved the file, then opened. This test file did not hang.
    I have tried the registry fix "ResolveRemoteURLToIPAddress FALSE" and deleting the personal configuration directory (with Dreamweaver closed). Neither of these solved the problem. Dreamweaver still hangs when opening a file.
    Any other ideas?
    Barry.

    Once the document opens, check the code for any protocol relative links (links that start with // rather than http://) and change them to http:// links, at least during development. It is a know issue to Adobe and will cause what you describe.
    If you don't have any protocol relative links, links to third party sites can cause issues from time to time if their servers are slow or have any kind of conflict with your network. Unless you absolutely can't, you may want to copy those external scripts to your local site and link to the local versions instead, again, during development.

  • InDesign CS6 (8.1) hangs when opening documents, intermittent

    InDesign CS6 (8.1) hangs when opening documents, intermittent, and a document that hangs InDesign, after restarting InDesign, will open fine. I found the following track, Re: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding  for instructions to "force a hang into a crash" and am posting the crash logs to  pastebin.com
    This is the sample process report OPI_Sample9MAY15 - Pastebin.com
    This is the corresponding InDesign Crash log OPI_InDesignCrashLog9MAY15 - Pastebin.com
    I am hoping that someone might be able to read the logs and tell me what is causing InDesign to hang
    For more background information we are using Mac OS X 10.10.3, Within indesign we are using an editorial management software called "NewsEngin GPS" that utilizes Rohohiko's ADIP ToolAssistant plugin and an advertising management plugin "Pagelink" from Mactive/NewsCycle Solutions. These are the only 3 third party vendors that are being used and of course all claim that their products separately are stable under Mac OS 10.10 and InDesign CS6 v8.1.

    Did you try to export the INDD file to IDML, open that and work with the new files?
