Itunes 10.2.1 stops responding when loading new folder from ex. harddrive

The last two days I have been trying to add new albums from my external hard drive to my library. Every other album it stops responding and I have to close it through the task manager. Music plays fine when I don't try to add new music. Sometimes it freezes while loading the songs, sometimes when determining playback, and sometimes when gathering album artwork. Now, when I start it with my external hard drive plugged in, it starts trying to determine the playback info. of the last cd I loaded and freezes. It won't let me do anything.
All of my music files are on an external drive and the drive works on other computers. All of the music on here opens in other music players such as winamp, media player, etc.
I have tried reinstalling itunes but the same problems occur.

Having the exact same problem.
But.... seems to have fixed it.
I disabled the option in iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Unchecked the Add files to the itunes library etc.

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding, do anyone have any ideas what problem it can be?

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding on certain moment, i tried to reinstall freshly and update to version 9.1.5 but problem same so at this moment version is 9.1.6. I tried 64bit too but no changes. And the thing is that i need studio and i need to sort this problem quick.
Please everybody if you had same problem give me answer or any idea what to do
Thanks

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

AuthorWare stops responding when loading a mpg file

I have a new Dell T3500 with Windows XP (32-bit). Other people in the office are able to load .mpg files into their AuthorWare project but every time I try, Authorware stops responding. I am using AuthorWare 7.02.
If I change the file extensions to .wmv, AuthorWare has not problem importing them. Windows media player has no problem playing the .mpgs.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and the update. I have tried this in brand new project files. I'm not sure what to do next.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.
Sincerley,
Katie Roberts

Unfortunately, I am required to use the .mpg extension when it is delivered to our client.
The videos import and play correctly as .wmv files.
Then it may actually be a CODEC issue
Try installing this codec pack:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=73c47878-20d0-4c1a -96f4-177d7e0074b7
You may need it, because Microsoft changed the default CODECs installed from Windows Media Player 8 onwards. Certain Dell machines seem to have problems with this.
If that doesn't work, you may find alternatives to try here:

If that still doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I remember something else you should try.

ITunes 10.4.1 Stops Responding When I Quit Backup

So everytime I plug in my iPod Touch 3g iTunes opens up, it wants to start a backup because I have an app that is free but it says it was a purchased app so it backs up all of my apps (-.-). Since it's only one app that was free that I would lose if something happend to my iPod of course I cancell the backup. After I cancell it iTunes freezes and stops responding, therefor I must close it with Task Manager. Help?

Having the exact same problem.
But.... seems to have fixed it.
I disabled the option in iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Unchecked the Add files to the itunes library etc.

ITunes stops responding when trying to restore from backup

I tried to restore my iPhone 5 from encrypted backup, but everytime I launch iTunes get the stops responding message and shuts down. I managed to backup from iCloud, but it is painfully slow. Does anyone konw what could be going on here? I never had this problem whit my iPhone 4, both on iOS 6. I am running Windows 7 with latest iTunes.

It happens with my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 as well without encrypted backups. Anyone see this behavior or know how to fix? I removed all Apple software and reinstalled and the backup worked once, now back to the "iTunes has stopped working" error.

Update causing programs to stop responding when loading

I wasn't sure what forum to put this so i I put it here...
anyway, I recently updated my OSX with the newest update and now I'm having a ton of problems. My computer seems to be running slower but more importantly several of my programs will stop responding while they're loading up. This includes the two I can't live without: InDesign CS and Microsoft Word. I'm a student in graphic design so these are SUPER important to me.
I've tried quitting all other programs, or even having my linotype fontexplorer open (it seemed to have worked once but not anymore).
I really don't know what to do! Is there a way to maybe uninstall updates? because my system was perfectly fine before @_@
please help!!!

Hi clemmontine, it was good you were able to isolate the issue to fonts. I don't think the issue is number of fonts but it's possible that one or more of them got corrupted.
If you have a copy of all the fonts in ~/library/fonts then just drag the fonts in the folder to the trash and drag your backup back in. Restart and retry your apps.
If not, you need to test the fonts a group at time (if your feeling lucky go for half of them on the first go).
You can also do this through FontBook.

Losing network connection when loading new firmware from iTunes (or syncing

Noticed this when loading 1.1.1 weeks ago and now 1.1.2. Several times during the download/installation process, I lost my network connection. Rebooting the PC restored it, only to have it go down again, requiring another reboot. Required several PC (not iPhone) reboots to be able to complete the process. This happens only during this process -- I otherwise never lose my network connection and always enjoy super speed. Paid it no mind and dismissed as a fluke during 1.1.1 upload, but was surprised to see it again this time. In both cases the final download and install worked perfectly. It's just a time-consuming hassle -- kinda weird -- thx much in advance for any clues about this...

It appears the problem appears only when using torrent software.
There is a lot of discussion on different torrent software forums about this, and directions on how to get around this issue. However with my skills I only managed to get Vuze to work properly while killing the network access from all other application. So i just went back to default settings.
I give up for now, I'll wait until Apple releases OS X update that works together with these programs (like it did in tiger and earlier versions..) or if it's even possible, one of the programs finds a way to get around this issue.

IPhoto Stops responding when assembling new book

I've been trying to buy a book on iPhoto but it keeps freezing out every time. This is a 50 page photo book, and after I click on the "Buy Book" button, the "Assembling Book" process starts, but after no more than 7 pages out of 50 of "Assembling", iPhoto simply freezes and stops functioning, I've had to Force Quit iPhoto every time because it simply doesn't work further than the 7th page. I've restarted my computer a couple of times, I've tried connecting through WiFi and wired connection and still, my book will simply not go through. Is there a problem on Apple's side, is it something on my book or my computer ? Thanks for the comments and help.

is iPhoto up to date (version 8.1.2 I believe)?
is there a map in the book?
have you previewed the book? - Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Itunes stops responding when adding music

I have an iPod classic (I think 5th gen) it had worked great for a long time and then a few weeks ago it just froze. After it froze I forced restarted it and all my music was gone. Now I am trying to add all my music and everytime to go to do it (whether on mac or pc) a few files will load and then itunes will freeze and stop responding. I am running itunes 10.6.1 on my pc and 11 on my mac and I have restored the ipod a couple times but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I would love any advice or help because this is extremely frustrating. Thanks

CORRECTION:
my iPod is the IPOD CLASSIC not 5th gen

ITunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod. I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes. OS is Vista.

iTunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod. I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes. OS is Vista. How do I fix this?

Hm... Strange.
I had reset the iPhone.
I tried disabling the auto-launch of iPhoto, and...
...when I plugged iPhone in, it started to freeze iTunes, but after a minute or so, the iPhone started synching. I found this odd because I had disabled auto-sync (I press Sync in iTunes when I want to have it Sync).
Now, of course, I do want auto-launch of iPhoto back on, since I like it for when I attach my digital cameras. I hope that when I set it back, it won't re-introduce the problem.
The restart I did may have helped. I resist restarting because my wife's account is often open and she frequently leaves unsaved files up, so it is a pain to respectfully close out her work and then restart.

Safari stops responding when I try to bookmark (and other slow problems!)

Two weeks ago my logicboard died, so I sent my ibook out to Apple for it to be fixed. Ever since I got it back this past Tuesday, my Safari has been extremely slow, but nothing else is wrong with my computer. Here are the problems:
- The biggest issue is that Safari stops responding when I try to make a bookmark. The popup appears to select the bookmark's destination and to enter the name, but when you hit ok, the rainbow wheel comes up and it stops responding, so I have to reset Safari, and now I can't make new bookmarks at all.
- It lags when it tries to open new windows, especially new tabs.
- If a new page loads that scrolls at all, and then I try to scroll down, the wheel appears for several seconds until it can load the rest of the page. It's as though it gets stuck before it can scroll.
- Sometimes when typing, it will also start to lag behind my typing speed, or if I try to click on a new field, it will not immediately allow me to type on occasion.
All these things have never happened before I sent it out. I have reset my cache, and I have tried entering the open DNS addresses in my networks, which has improved loading speed, but hasn't fixed any of these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I can fix anything?

Try verifying the hard disk.
Boot from your restore disk while holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the C key. You'll see an Installation window, select English. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. If Disk Utility cannot repair the disk you have several options. One is DiskWarrior or
TechToolPro If Disk Utility can repair any errors, go back to the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If you don't have a restore disk, try booting into Safe Mode

ITunes freezes and doesn't respond when connecting iPhone 4

Well yesterday I had the two of the most common problems that a lot of people seem to be having with iTunes after the latest update- opening iTunes and not getting my iPhone 4 to be recognized. I solved the iTunes problem last night and iPhone is now being recognized on my computer but when I connect it to my computer iTunes automatically freezes and stops responding. When I disconnect it and restart iTunes it responds again and runs smoothly like nothing happened.
When it freezes beside "iTunes Store" it says "iPhone" and it seems like it freezes while it's trying to sync my phone. I've tried restarting my computer, leaving it connected before starting iTunes, waiting until iTunes comes up to connect it, but whatever I do iTunes just won't work with my iPhone connected. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello cn12,

I recently updated my mac book pro and some of the apps like itunes, and Mail have stop responding. Itunes will work fine till I connect my iphone 4. The moment I connect my Iphone it stops responding.

I recently updated my Mac book and Itunes and Mail have stop responding.
iTunes work fine till I connect my Iphone. The moment I connect my iphone it stops responding. I have reset my phone couple of times already and have re-install iTunes few times. Does anyone have any other suggestion on it?
Mail will never Quit. It will get my new mails or send them when I start it but after five mins or so it will stop responding at all.
Please let me know if anyone is facing similar problem.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."
iTunes: About Sound Check
