You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

ITunes keeps freezing on me.

I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and previously when using iTunes (running latest software) all has been ok. Over the last few days I have noticed that Itunes keeps 'freezing' . when I click on the icon, iTunes opens, then tries to connecyt to the Store. The progression bar stops at half way and the whole programme freezes. I hav etries deleting and re installing, but still the same problem. Please help!
Thanks,
Chris

I have this issue too. I have tried all the things suggested on other posts but none work.
Re-Installed iTunes ........
Shutdown restart .......
Used Task Manager to see if syncserver.exe was running on my other account but could not find it...
Nothing works ......... but I can replicate the problem each time I select Preferences.
I have just openned up 2 User accounts on the computer and from what I have read it seems that the problem is restricted to computers with more than one User Account.
Why oh why do Apple make it such hard work to run 2 of it's purchased devices off one computer, if they could only work on a way to sort this problem out we wouldn't need to go around the houses to try to find fixes.

ITunes keeps freezing no matter what I try. No that it controls all my music, and doesn't work, what am I supposed to do?

It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Why does itunes keep freezing?

While importing CD's to itunes with windows 8, it keeps freezing up and I have to end itunes through the task manager and restart. Any suggestions?

There is an Apple article on troubleshooting freezes here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
However it could be a bit of a pain to do if your problem is intermittent.
If the problem is system wide (see article) trying MSConfig to look for conflicting processes might help. I used to get a lot of several second hangs with norton 2005 which went away when I installed norton 2007 for example.

ITunes keeps freezing during a sync with IPhone 3Gs?

I have repeated issue with ITunes syncing with my IPhone. It keeps freezing while backing up the data. I know there is an order to uninstall and reinstall the components of ITunes but I cannot find what it is. Can you help?

Check this thread out -> iTunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos
Try unchecking the "Include Videos" option on the Photos tab in iTunes. You can workaround the issue by adding the videos to your iTunes library and syncing them along with movies and TV shows.

ITunes keeps freezing during songs

My itunes just keeps freezing every few seconds, during songs.
Looked for solutions on forums, nothing helped, saw somene suggesting to format the macbook pro, so i did it and it's problem presists.
This all started when I downloaded the new itunes version (11) by the way.
help would be appreciated

Hi Kengc2,
I'm having the same problem as you.
Running
OS: Win 8 64bit
Ram: 8GB
Intel Core i7 - 2600k @ 3.5GHz
Must be something in Windows 8, as I did not have any problems with Win 7.
Having said that my itunes foldered is stored on my NAS so not sure is the slow network speed is causing the issue.
Interested to know whether windows makes a hot fix or whethers apple are secretly trying to get more Apple customers

ITunes keeps freezing entire computer

Ok, I have an early 2008 macbook and have the most recent iTunes installed. I believe its 11.02 or something. I wish I could give more information but it keeps freezing up my entire computer when it opens. I have to restart my computer to get it working again and don't dare open iTunes. I've done everything. I have deleted it and and reinstalled it and deleted and tried downgrading to 10.7. Everytime I open it, it tells me I have to upgrade and I have tried opening it with pacifist as well and the same thing. I have tried upgrading for the 10.7 on the prompt and still just freezes up everything. I can't do anything with it!! Please help. I would like to put some music on my iPod and use it for its intended purpose.
Is this just Apple's way into forcing me to get a new macbook? lol
This is the discussion I followed for deleting and downgrading.

I have also tried using other music players such as clementine and songbird and they also freeze my entire mac upon opening.

ITunes keeps freezing within 3 minutes of being opened (OSX, iTunes 11.04(4) )

Hi All,
My iTunes application keeps freezing and I have no idea why. Whenever I open it now, regardless of what I do, it gives the spinning colorful pinwheel within a few minutes and doesn't go away until I kill the program. It happens if I do nothing at all and just leave the window open (not even touch the mouse or keyboard), if happens if I start to play a song (the song will keep playing, but iTunes will get unresponsive), it always happens D:
Has anyone else had a problem like this? Apologies for how difficult it is to troubleshoot, it doesn't seem that any action I'm doing is causing iTunes to freeze, it just stops responding.
It's been going on for a few days now. I'm all updated, tried restarting the computer... no idea what to do!!! Please help me.
Thanks very much in advance!

Actually I think I figured it out. I think I was using a faulty link for one of my podcast subscriptions that was messing everything up (Tiny Desk Concerts Audio Podcast).
What tipped me off was that I noticed a down arrow icon and what looked like a status bar popping up in the top right corner of the screen just before it froze. I guess that's a podcast downloading indicator.
Thanks all!
