ITunes 10.2 freezing?

I have updated iTunes this weekend and have noticed that when my iPhone is connected (irrespective of syncing or not)iTunes freezes and can only be stopped by using Windows task manager. I noticed this because I wanted to see some files on the app page, but could not make anything work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes yesterday, after getting a message that the Bonjour service could not be found while updating.

Tunes froze when I upgraded to 10.2.1.1 after recently acquiring a 3rd generation Nano to replace my 1st generation that wouldn't reset. It's all working now after uninstalling 10.2.1.1 and then installing 10.1.2. I had to delete "iTunes Library.itl" for iTunes to load. I then had add my folder to get back all my Poscasts and then re-subscribe to my relevant podcasts. After this I upgraded back to 10.2.1.1 and everything is sweet . So effectively I rebuilt my "iTunes Library.itl" file - I suspect that this file became corrupted either during the iTunes upgrade and/or introducing mt new iPod Nano and/or something else.

I am using a Windows 7 laptop, 64 bit. When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling, and also going back to previous versions. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks!!

You need to remove all installer file, uninstall iTunes and all related programs, then do a clean install.
Try the following steps:

Itunes and ipod freeze during sync

hello,
firstly, i would like to thank all you kind souls who post to this forum with very helpful suggestions. you have helped me with many past difficulties.
my present issue concerns transferring songs from itunes to my ipod (4th generation). here's the story:
on friday, my ipod started acting funny (skipping songs, etc.). by saturday, it would no longer do anything (folder with !, resetting did not help). this had happened to me before so i did not freak out and figured i just had to restore (that had worked the first time around). however, when i plugged in my ipod to my computer (powerbook g4, just three weeks old), it was not recognised and i was prompted to initialize the disk. i then came to this forum and read pretty much everything related to this kind of problem. countless resets, erases, partitions, etc., later, i was able to get the ipod software back on the ipod. it seemed all normal but there was no music on it (makes sense since i'd restored it). but then...when i plugged in my ipod to sync it with itunes, it would freeze at a given song (not always the same one, sometimes 31 songs into it, sometimes 500). i came back to this forum and read that i should reset my ports, which i did. didn't help, the sync still freezes both the ipod and itunes.
so that's where i'm at: i have the ipod software on the ipod, but i can't sync it with itunes (i.e. i can't get my music onto it). my brother thinks i have bad blocks (or sectors). is this a possibility? the ipod does make some noise (not sure whether it's the infamous clicking...).
so here are my questions:
1) is there anything i haven't done yet that could get the ipod to sync with itunes?
assuming i have done everything and the problem is with my ipod's hard disk:
2) would a program like disk warrior potentially be able to fix the ipod?
3) would it cost me less to have the ipod serviced than to buy disk warrior?
4) is there somekind of open-source or freeware disk repair utility that could perhaps repair my ipod's disk?
thanks for reading and i really look forward to any suggestions.

p.s. the ipod's more than a year old, so no longer under warranty.

Okay, I got it to work tonight...
My U2 iPod would freeze while syncing. I restored and tried to sync and it would freeze on different song #'s. All the while I heard a clicking sound coming from the drive that I never noticed before. It would just click once in a while, not repeatedly.
My fix: (a version of the carpet drop) While the iPod was on and spinning, I held it tight with my right hand, facing me and smacked it's side into the palm of my left hand, simulating the amount of force that it would incurr from a waist-high drop onto carpet.
Now, this force was sheer approximation, being that it would be too time consuming and difficult to calculate this exact amount of force. I mean, my waist may be higher/lower than the original carpet-dropper, and not to mention the plushness of the carpet! Who knows if he did it on Shenandoah Shagg or maybe just some Bermuda Burr Rug?!
By the way, the problem started after being left out in the car on recent cold nights... hmmmm, my iPod thinks me a jerk.
Anyways, here are some previous attempts at fixing my situation (in no particular order):
1) restored from 5 different iPod updates (2004-11-15, 2005-02-22, 2005-06-26, 2005-09-23, 2005-11-17)
2) tried to fix with Disk Utility
3) tried to fix with Tech Tool Pro
4) tried to fix with Disk Warrior
5) tried to initialize multiple time (even writing zeroes)
6) manual sync

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
Does that clear up the compatibility message?

Same problem.

I have the latest version of Itunes but it freezes my whole computer when it starts up

I have the latest version of Itunes but it freezes my whole computer when it starts up. I have installed/reintalled Itunes but it still stops my whole computer when I start Itunes.

OK, so we rule out LSP then,
Try following steps one at a time and test your itunes:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator", now try your itunes.
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Hey newyearnorma,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iTunes has been freezing on you, take a look at this article to troubleshoot.

TS1717 iTunes tends to freeze MacBook in many different ways?

Since I moved from Belgium to Australia following problem occurs:
- When my Macbook Pro (OS X Lion 10.7.5) gets out of (screen)sleepmode when running music on iTunes the computer freezes and the song that was playing gets stuck on the last note.
- When I close Itunes and I have another (soundcard using?) application running, for instance Skype, everything is fine, just untill I close that application. If I close it, the entire computer freezes again. Same problem occures when using Garage Band, DivX, QuickTime, iMovie,... in combination with iTunes.
Could this problem have anything to do with me moving to a different country (area conflict...)?
In order to use iTunes without freezing the computer I now have to close every application that's running before opening iTunes and restarting the computer every time I stop using iTunes. Is there a solution for my problem?

Well...I was partially-blind.
I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear. oops.
I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone. iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

Anyone else seeing iTunes 11.1 freeze after cmd-L?

I just updated to MacOS 10.8.5 and iTunes 11.1, and I'm seeing some really irritating behavior from iTunes.
To reproduce:
Start playing a playlist in the library
While iTunes is playing, hit command-L to jump to the currently playing song.
At this point, the iTunes UI completely freezes. It continues playing the current track, but it completely stops at that point. The iTunes window itself is completely unresponsive -- spinning beachball and everything -- and I have to force-quit the application.
I've been able to reproduce this very consistently this evening. The last time it froze, I got the crash-reporter dialog box, which I filled out and submitted, so hopefully someone at Apple will look into this soon.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Yes, this is a real problem. Apple's really broken iTunes with 11.1. The "Next" and "Previous" commands within "Get info" work for me at the "Music" level, but do not work when I am down inside playlists. Spinning beach ball and then I have to Force-quit. Command-L is dead for me too and I have to Force-quit. Makes you wonder about the level of testing that is carried out prior to release. Both of these seem to be related to playlists and their heierarchic nature. I hope it's an easy bug to fix and the next version addresses these issues.

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

HT1723 Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?

Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
Someone please help!

Sounds like a hardware issue.
Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent? If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
good luck
