ITunes 10.2.1 and OS X 10.6.7 - iTunes locking up

After these latest upgrades my iTunes will work for a few minutes and then lock up and I have to force a close and restart. I have narrowed it down to the Apple TVs. I have 5 of them and whenever you try play content from an ATV2 that is shared via iTunes, iTunes then locks up. If the content is played from an ATV1 everything keeps working.
So right now all I have is Netflix on the TVs I've tried all the solutions from other threads where the entire Mac locks up but nothing helped.
thanks

I'm not sure I'm willing to take the step of uninstalling and reinstalling the service pack without understanding what it hopes to achieve.
Is that just to address the issue with the USB driver files not being updated, as described here? http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/24666-The-Windows-7-SP1-USB-Driver-Bug- %28what-it-is-and-how-to-fix-it%29
If that's the aim, there are simpler ways to fix it. Indeed, on my system, two of the three files mentioned in that article had not been properly updated, but I ran the tool at http://code.kliu.org/.etc/7601usbfix/ to update the files and then manually checked them again to ensure they were now the correct versions. This did not solve the freezing issue.
So if that's all that reinstalling SP1 is meant to achieve, I've already done that to no effect.

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

  • I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore

    I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore.
    Configuration: OSX Lion with Server, iTunes 10.5, latest firmware for the Stora.
    Can this be confirmed to be a bug introduced with 10.5 ?
    I also saw some people mentioning the same problem on Synology NAS.
    Seems like the 10.5 uodate broke something.

    Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

  • HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

    iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail.  Any clues?

    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 updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • Itunes will not open and does not recognize ipod, required itunes component is not installed 42404

    Itunes was first getting required itunes component not installed.  Click ok and could go to itunes.  Determined itunes was not recognizing Ipod, computer does.  Itunes diagnostics show problem Ipod not found.  Now Itunes is not opening.  Have installed Itunes again with repair option, then uninstall/install option.
    Then manually unintalled Itunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Application Support.  This is a Windows 7 Toshiba PC.  Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas?

    hi bummed! (you do realise that you're stuck with that alias for the forseeable future, don't you?)
    B was asking another user if iTunes.exe was appearing and then disappearing in the Task Manager. I am having the oposite issue in that I cannot End Task in the Task Manager on iTunes.exe. What is up?
    hmmm. if that's going on, then we'd better check up on these two possibilities first:

  • HT1386 I have my 5s phone updated to 8.0.2 and itunes is the latest and I can not sync my itunes music to my phone

    I have a 5s phone that has been updated to 8.0.2.  I have the latest update for iTunes.  I had all of my music in the phone before the upgrade to 8.  I tried to re-sync the phone and now there is no music in the phone and it will not sync with iTunes.  any solutions??

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup see:

  • I cannot download iTunes. It gets completely loaded and then says that itunes has a virus and was deleted. I uninstalled itunes and it still will not download it. Any suggestions??

    I recently had a virus on my computer and took it into the shop to have it repaired. Ever since, I have not been able to open iTunes. So I uninstalled iTunes thinking that I could reinstall it and it would work. How ever wrong I was! It will download completely, but then it says that itunes had a virus and was deleted. I don't get how it could have a virus if its not on my computer??? I'm extremely frustrated!!!!!! Please Help!

    iTunes, if downloaded from Apple, has no virus.
    Turn off the security software on the computer temporarily.  Ultimately the security software needs to be updated or replaced with a software package that works properly.

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • I have iTunes (11.1.4) and OSX (10.9.1).  itunes becomes unresponsive immediately upon booting up with the pinwheel.  If I open the app in safe mode it appears to be working normally for about 60 secs. and then the pinwheel shows up again.

    I have restart all devices. 

    Hey Von2,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. Usually with issues like this, I would recommend starting iTunes in Safe mode - but you have already done that! Great job.
    The next step is to isolate the issue further by using another user account:

  • I purchased an audio CD that I then imported into iTunes - I can find (and play) the new music from iTunes - however when I try and load it on my phone I can not see the new album as one that I can select in the music listings available for download.

    It seems that recent additions to my iTunes library are not available for download to my (or my son's) iphone - other albums by the same artist are available.
    Any help is appreciated...

    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on a backup of your downloads then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
