Install itunes - cpu goes to 100 percent and stalls.  Uninstalled, tried fixes on internet, reinstalled - same story

Have installed, uninstalled itunes on xp machine and tried all the fixes given in the discussion groups, plus cnet and other internet fixes.....nothing works.  After installation of itunes cpu usage goes to 100 percent and itunes stops.  Cpu stays at 100 percent until I uninstall itunes.  By the number of posts on the internet, I can't believe Apple hasn't addressed this issue with a fix.

I had the same problem but this worked for me.
Get to a dos command prompt and type:  netsh winsock reset
You will need to reboot your computer but it fixed tocpu 100% issue.
Good luck

  • HT4972 I have 2 not mac computers when I start itunes I see these two issues that I do not understand. my cpu usage goes to 100 percent and I can not connect to the I tunes store. or to the Update server to Update my phone.  how can I up date my phone?

    Please do not tell me to Buy a Mac computer.  I all ready have 23 in my family and they are all at least 1200 miles from me now.

    Try reinstalling iTunes. Or, if you already have iOS 5, you can update from the phone.
    About the CPU Usage: if you have an old computer, and you're running the latest version of iTunes, the CPU will go up.

  • I cant install itunes it says msvcr80 is missing and I keep trying to re install but it said the same thing

    what do i do im really confused I keep trying to install but it does the same thing

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I'm trying to finalise the purchase of a calendar off of iPhoto and it won't proceed because my "credit card information cannot be verified".  Has been a problem for over 12 hours.  And I've tried an alternative card.  Same story.

    Is this an Apple Problem?  I seem to have pay for technical suppor from Apple.  Would like it to be as easy as:  ring and pay over the phone....  no such luck

    For the Australian Print Products Store see: http://store.apple.com/au/help/print_products
    Check the link "Payment and Security" on that page.
    My iphoto is older version and doesn't have the setting of print products store.
    How old? You will need at least iPhoto '09 to buy print products.

  • Importing Audio CD to library, downloads slow and CPU goes to 100%,

    Importing Audio books CDs to library, downloads slow and CPU goes to 100%, last two tracks take an extreme long time to load, audio is spotty on those two tracks. Any ideas as to why or how to correct

    I think your problem might be in the settings. Your audiobooks might be trying to download like music CDs, and doing error checking and playing while it downloads.
    Here's a link to some really helpful information about how iTunes treats audiobook CDs and how to do it better. It helped me out a lot.

  • Cpu goes to 100%

    I can open itunes. I can not click on anything on the page without my cpu going to 100% and freezing my computer. If I type in an artist in the search I can sometimes look and purchase music. If I go to another artist my cpu goes to 100% and freezes. The only way to unfreeze it is to go to Windows Task Manager and end task on itunes.

    Hello,
    if you have your note for a year or more and did not take it for an internal heatsink clean and essentials parts, yet.
    One possible problem here is: Heatsink blocked with dust (CPU goes to 100% state svchost takes all resources)
    90% of the high temperatures problems, unexpected shutdowns, 100%CPU all the time without running background processes, very hot keyboard area, freezing programs, are caused by the heatsink blocked with dust.
    The normal temperature for the processor is between 55C and 79C. For the motherboard is around 55C~60C. When the heatsink is blocked those temperatures can reach 99C (processor) and around 80C (motherboard). Measure in Celsius degrees.
    You can check it out how "hot" your Qosmio is.
    Download the Everest ultimate 2006 edition V 3.50.761, look for it with Google search.
    Run it and see the temperatures for CPU, Processor and motherboard on your Qosmio:
    See:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmioeverest.jpg
    Run the System stability test (find it under tools menu) for 10 minutes aprox.
    Watch the temperatures at taskar. If it reachs more than 92C for the processor on stress mode, its time to clean the heatsink and all essential parts of your Qosmio. Attempt to the processor fan RPM, too, if they run fast and noisy, you really must perform a clean.
    But it depends on the ambient environment, for a 30C summer day the processor temperature almost get the 90C. this is normal in stress mode. And the fans run without noise. Slow RPM mode.
    All measured in Celsius degrees, for Farenheith please convert it.

  • I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone.  The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC.   What's the problem?

    I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone.  The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC.   What's the problem?  I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone.   I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad.  How do I see Photostream on my PC?

    You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

    You could order the Full Retail Version of OS X (Black DVD with a silver X on it). Regarding always starting up in Open Firmware, in this thread a bloke had the same problem until he disconnected his peripherals before restarting. See if the entire thread helps:

  • Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.

    Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.  Windows 7

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:
