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 & 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 it is working now.
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:

I really need your help. I'm 14.
I really need to put new music on my iPod and I have plugged it into my computer and its taking ages to back-up and it wont let me do anything until its done. It will take over 3 hours if it keeps on going like this. Please help me. I don't know what's wrong with it.
It might be because I haven't backed it up in a while but the reason I haven't is cause it takes this long! Anyone know what to do?

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:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:

Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

Updated iTunes to 10.5, iTunes won't work now! Everytime I open iTunes it just freezes and I can't click on anything. It says to take it out of compatibility mode and still doesn't work! any help??
Thank you. NickOkay, 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? -
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

I bought a song on itunes a while ago and I couldn’t back up my ipod because I needed more storage. Once my ipod was updated, ALL of my memory was deleted (since it wasn’t backed up) and I couldn't get my song back without paying for it again. Is there a way to retrieve it without paying for the second time?
Just follow these instructions:

IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs
Okay i have four issues with my iPod
1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

HELP! iTunes 7 *****! freezes and now I can't evern use it.
So first iTunes was freezing with the upgrade of 7.0, so I removed all of iTunes from my computer and and installed the version I had before the upgrade. And now this message pops up: "the file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
and I can't do anything.
The iTunes works with the other users on the computer, but not with the user I need.
I have contacted every customer support and technical support... but everything cost money and I can't get help!
If anyone can possibly help with my distress... please do, I'd greatly appreciate it.
HP dv1450 Windows XPUsually you get the earlier message when you downgrade from 7 back to 6.0.5
If that's what you did, this may get you going:
You need to recover the backup version 6 library made when you first upgraded to V7. It should be in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder which is in the iTunes folder.
It will be called iTunes Library yyyy-mm-dd.itl where the date is that of first upgrade to V7.
When you have found the backup, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml out of the iTunes folder to your desktop. Then copy the backup library from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder into the iTunes folder. Rename it iTunes Library.itl and you should be good to go.
This will take the library back to the day of the first upgrade. You will have to add any changes since then, which you can do by using add folder to library to add the iTunes music folder - this shouldn't create duplicates, as iTunes ignores files already in the library.
Start iTunes and check that purchased music plays before plugging the iPod, it may be necessary to authorise the computer -
ITunes video playback freezing and out of sync from audio problem
There's one thing that bugs me more than the non-responses I get from Apple Support is when I try to watch a movie on iTunes and during the action parts or exciting scenes, the video freezes and pauses from the audio for a few seconds. It happens quite often during video play. How can this matter be solved and I can watch a movie that costs WAY too much to buy on iTunes and actually enjoy it for once? Anybody? Hello? Bueller?
Q? Are you using Quicktime to play the video on your PC or other video player like Real Player?
As some 3rd party players may not sinc right or you may have to download a newer codec.
I use GOM player and it works well on my PC for video from iPhone 4S.
Hope this helps.

My iTunes has been freezing when it opens then crashes my computer. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated yet it still will not open? I am using windows 7 home premium 3.2GHz with 4Gig of ram. All my other programs work flawless but iTunes will not? anyone have a solution?
Having found a working library file it may pay to copy it into the standard location and reconnect to it there. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for the steps I would normally have given.

Export QuickTimes freeze and skip while playing back
I’m new to Motion, and growing concerned. I’ve purchased and learned Motion for a specific job. I’ve built some very cool elements with many layers. I’ve grown accustom to the slow performance, skipping etc. while working on the project. That’s ok.
What concerns me is exporting. When exporting Draft or Best versions, most all the time the movies freeze or skip while playing back, either in QuickTime or Final Cut Pro
When exporting I select Export, as QuickTime Movie, using current project settings
I’m using Motion 3.02-HDV 1080-60i project, 10 seconds long
4x 2.5 Ghz G5
5 GB Ram
I would appreciate and advice or tricks to be able to export a decent version of what I’ve built.
Thanks!Andy, thanks for your help.
I have 30 gigs available on the hardrive. The file exports are usually less than a gig. I have a GeForce 6600 card.
When I select export setting from “current project settings” it uses the Animation codec and plays with freezes and skips. But with in that video that does play well, it plays very clean and clear.
When I change the export to 1080i60 at best quality, I’m guessing it uses the HDV codec? It does play back with out the skips and freezes. But it looks like **** with horizontal lines in titles stripes etc.
Is there a way to make the 1080i60 video playback clean?
Thanks! -
Itunes not scyncing freezing and crashing
There seems to be a whole “bunch of stuff” going on with my iMac 21” i3, and I just wanted to check in to see if anyone had experienced anything similar or had any advice.
First, when syncing my iPhone 4 last week I got this message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
iTunes at the same time was freezing up, so I forced quit (silly perhaps).
When I restarted iTunes I got this:
“iTunes Library does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed the file to "iTunes Library(Damaged)"
Some research some frustration and some time got my iTunes back up and running.
I was still getting the "The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." When attempting to sync by iPhone.
Finally I found a fix that worked online (not syncing photos!).
So that should be the end of the story.
But since then iTunes has been running SLLLLOOOOOWW, as has my system as a whole.
Then last night:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Followed by:
“iTunes Library does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed the file to "iTunes Library(Damaged)"
So something be wack!
The only thing I could think of is I got an email from Apple telling me they needed to replace my hard drive free of charge as they were found to be faulty.
I’ve booked in with the Apple Store to have the drive replaced. But could it be the problem? Or do I have something else happening here.I share much of your skepticism, like how would an Insurance Company make money if you didn't have trouble ever?
Anyway, How come the majority of Mac OS10.4.10 Users have no problems?
You'd think that with Millions of Users, that even a 1/10 of 1%, you'd find thousands of complaints!
Oh, wait... -
Constantly Freezing and taking an hour to restart
I'm not quite sure what you mean by Carrier =/
v5.0.0.794 (Bundle 1345, Platform 6.3.0.23
I can't check the memory before and after a battery pull because it's the reset that I'm having problems with.
Basically, my phone freezes at least 6/7 times a day, just doing stupid things like loading facebook it'll just cut off completely, and when I leave it it either goes to an error page, or just stays like that for the next half hour or so, until I get annoyed and pull the battery. Lately it's started taking longer and longer to reset after pulling the battery. Yesterday it took me 3/4 of an hour to get it to load, and then it froze again straight away, then it loaded within about half an hour after. Today it took closer to an hour to load up again, it got stuck half way up the loading bar and just stayed there, and just as I was about to try pulling the battery it started moving again. It's really doing my head in and I'm really starting to regret getting this phone now purely because it spends more time loading than it does working.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Obviously your 9300 is messed up with something... my initial guess it that it is some third party application or theme you have might have installed. Deleting ALL third party apps would be a place to start... and see if these issues continue.
You can also upgrade the operating system to the latest official release 5.0.0.977, but there is also an OS6 version upgrade you can do.
For now, I'd recommend the OS 5.0.0.977.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
