Itunes 10.5 cpu fix

Uninstalling my network monitoring software (Covenant Eyes) fixed the apple store issue. Reinstalling per apple instructions and doing the "netsh winsock reset" from the command line has appeared to take care of the AppleMobileDevice.exe service from maxing out my cpu, but when Itunes is first fired up it consumes 50% cpu (dual core) for about three minutes, after which it drops to around 20%. I never noticed this before, but I can only assume this is not normal behaviour. Anyone else experiencing this and if not, what should the normal cpu % be for Itunes opened, but idle (i.e. not doing anything)?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Itunes 100 percent CPU

I am running Itunes and my CPU is running at 100% also when trying to go onto the iTunes Store it just says "accessing iTunes Store" and hangs there. There was an update available so I tried to update which resulted in getting an error when installing saying that MSVCR80.dll was missing. I then uninstalled itunes following all the steps removing :
Itunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and installed it. I still have the same problem. I then tried using command prompt and netsh winsock reset. Restarting the computer but this hasn't helped either. I then tried Autoruns from Microsoft Website to see if there was any other programs using Winsock, but the only one that is showing is Bonjour.
Please can anyone help? I'm running out of ideas
I am running itunes on Windows XP SP3. I've only just started to get this problem and I haven't installed anything new for a while (not counting itunes-which I only updated to try and fix the problem)

Now launch your iTunes and see if CPU problem is fixed now.

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

Place the device in DFU mode and restore.

I downloaded iTunes onto my CPU and deleted it. Now I can't install it again.

I downloaded iTunes onto my CPU and deleted it soon after. Now I am trying to re-install it, but it says I still have it on my CPU. So I went to the control panel, and there is only one program that was named iTunes, but I could not delete it. How can I delete it, or how can I install iTunes again?

I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

ITunes eats up CPU

My iTunes eats up CPU (95%-142%) while converting from MP3 to AAC!?
18 tracks (134 MB) is not to much I assume!
Fans on my MacBook Pro 17" are working non-stop (at 5800-6000 min.Speed) during this "operation"!
Is there a particular reason or there is something wrong with my laptop?

Yeah same problem here. The only thing I've been able to do to deal with the problem is to close out of mozilla firefox (or any other larger program), and it usually improves... kind of a pain.

ITunes 9.1 - CPU goes to 100% when playing prot. AAC - clicks and gaps

Since downloading 9.1, there are clicks and gaps when I play protected AAC songs on iTunes. Songs play fine with QuickTime player. When a protected song is played in 9.1, iTunes absorbs all available CPU.
I have followed all remediation steps in the apple.com support site including turning off sound enhancer, checking for driver updates, etc. I have also set buffering to maximum.
If I play an AAC protected song for more than a few seconds it becomes impossible to pause it and all other applications running freeze. This happens even when there are no other applications running . . . it is not a conflict problem with other applications. itunes absorbs whatever cpu there is left to take. Consistently using 60-90% of CPU w/ total CPU @ 100% constantly (when an AAC protected song is played).
iTunes works fine as long as the song is not protected.
I cannot find anything on the apple site to allow me to go back to 9.0. Why can't apple allow one to step back to the previour version? I am seriously looking at getting permanently off of iTunes. Each new release is harder to use and performs more poorly.

Unfortunately I have the same problem since I installed Itunes 9.1 anche this problem is shown in a lot of thread.....
I am seriously disappointed cause I BOUGTH these music and it's unbelieveble that Itunes doesn't play its music (sorry for my english...I am writing from Italy...).
I am afraid that it's an Intel Atom processor conflict.
I have already update everything was possible to update (driver, codecs, setting audio configuration, energy saving...) but I didn't find any stuff to solve this issue...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
