ITunes 10.6 freezes when launched

Good Morning,
I just recently updated iTunes to 10.6 from the Apple Software Updater. When iTunes is launched it prompts me for apple ID then immediately freezes up. If I reboot the computer, it will allow me enough time to enter my apple ID and password but freezes on asking me if I want to make iTunes default media player.  I have not had any issues with the previous builds in the past until this one. I am going to remove iTunes completely and all registry entries and reinstall to see if this fixes the issue.
Has anyone else ran into this problem with the latest?

Uninstall/Reinstall did not work. Same issue with freezing as soon as it's launched.
Just to confirm, this is 10.6.3 64-bit Windows build.

  • ITunes freezes when launching after upgrade to 7.1

    Hello all, I was just having this problem and it was driving me nuts. It would just bounce my iTunes icon and freeze while also making everything else run a lot slower. For most of you, I'm pretty sure unplugging your shuffle or ipod will fix the problem thanks to the user JDH.

    Hi, I have unplugged my Ipod a long time ago. I have been at this for a few days now. I am still having the same problem. Help!
    I really really miss my Itunes. I might have to watch TV soon. Ugh!

  • ITunes 12.1 freezing upon launch due to "determining audio volume"

    My (Late 2011) MBP running Yosemite is freezing when I launch iTunes. It is 12.1, the latest version. Upon launch, it says "Determining Audio Volume" and is on the first of my several thousand songs. The spinning wheel eventually pops up and I am forced to forced shut-down my mac by holding the power button. I can't delete iTunes as it is "required by the OS" and I can't open it and go to the preferences to uncheck "soundcheck" because it freezes the entire mac upon launch.
    Anyone experiencing the same issue or know what might fix it?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem, but I think I've found a cure.
    Even though Sound Check was disabled in preferences, iTunes would insist on Determining Audio Volume everytime it was launched. But there is also a 'Sound Check' preference in the Burn CD dialogue.
    To turn it off you need to select a playlist, hit the Burn Disc button (bottom left) select Audio CD as the disc format and un-check 'Use Sound check'
    Then you must hit the 'Burn' button (if you don't it will not remember the new settings) You can then cancel the burn by clicking the X in the itunes player window.
    This has cured the problem for me

  • PC, iTunes, iPod all Freeze when i connect ANY iPod.

    I seem to have a problem connecting ipods to my computer.
    When i try and connect an ipod to my computer (windows XP) the computer will lock up, cannot move mouse nothing.
    I have tried this with an iPod Video, iPod Photo and iPod Mini, all do the same thing.
    I have uninstalled the iPod software aswell an iTunes and updated all to new versions, still no luck. I have ran checks for spyware and virus's but still no luck.
    What could be the problem?

  • I am unable to use Itunes because it freezes when I plug my Iphone 3g in.

    Hi,
    I needed a phone, so my brother gave me his old Iphone 3g. I instantly downloaded the latest itunes (10.5.3) and I purchased some songs and application at itunes store. Unfortunately when I plug my iphone in it freezes itunes and I can't put anything on the phone. My iphone has absolutely nothing on the phone, no songs, apps, contacts, nothing.
    I have tried for about a week now. Looking at forums on the internet and downloading alternatives to itunes like media monkey and foobar and alot of other programs to be able to put music on my phone.I spoke to my brother and he had no troubles at all with the phone.
    I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP.
    PC/Laptop- HP Pavilion dv6-2109AX
    Windows 7
    Iphone 3g
    Software: 4.2.1
    I have tried plugging the iphone in different ports. I heard you need to plug it into a 2.0 usb port, but I tried all of them. I don't know if my laptop has 2.0 usb ports because it still didn't work.
    I tried reinstalling itunes the correct order multiple times but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the crash files that I didnt even have. I don't have the appdata file to delete its contents, if I do I couldn't find it.
    I had to delete my virus software and disable it while I plugged my iphone in.I restarted my computer multiple times and restored my computer a few times and also deleted alot of useless files and movies to make my computer run faster.
    As soon as I plug my iphone in, itunes instantly freezes. When unplugged itunes instantly unfreezes.
    Also I have the original Iphone charger.
    HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
    Thanks in advance. (:

  • Itunes 10.1 Freezes when i connect my 32GB iPhone 3GS

    Ever Since i updated my iTunes this morning it freezes when i connect the phone. When i unplug it it comes back. There are times that when i re plug it after a bit it works. My phone was acting up so I decided to restore it. But then i get the same problem again so i couldn't restore from back up. I been trying to figure out the solution to this problem since 7 AM in the morning EST. I been looking around the forums for similar problems but it didn't help. I followed steps from apple on this page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
    That didn't help either. I been repeating all these steps plus more multiple times and nothing solved it. It just keeps freezing. I even Called out of work today just trying to Fix this dumb issue cause i can't be with out my phone PLEASE HELP!!

    I'm not sure what's causing this, but it has just started happening to me too. It has been happening with both my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPhone 3GS, but more with the 3GS.
    I thought rebooting the machine had fixed the problem, but it happened again this morning.
    A workaround that has worked successfully for me is this:
    With iTunes not running, plug in the phone. iTunes should then start on its own and start syncing properly. If it doesn't start automatically, start it manually (with the phone already plugged in) and the sync should start. But starting it first and then plugging in the phone doesn't seem to work.
    I'm running iTunes 10.1.2.17.
    Edit:
    Okay, I think I just got lucky with the suggestion above to plug in the phone with iTunes not running. That's not working for me anymore. What does work pretty consistently (though not always) it starting or restarting iTunes manually after the plug has already been plugged in. This may mean killing it from the task manager if it's frozen, or waiting for the freezing to wear off (which it does eventually, even though it never recognizes the device or starts a sync).

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • Itunes 11.4 freezing when ipod touch 5 connected to windows 7 64bit

    Every time the iPod touch 5th generation is connected to ITunes in Windows 7 64 bit, the stupid iTunes freezes. The only way to unfreeze is to disconnect it. This problem has been going for a very long time. Upgrading iTunes does nothing. ITunes 11.4 does not fix the problem. There is no way to sync iPod touch with windows 7. This getting very frustrating. When is someone going to post a fix that permanently fixes this problem that has existed for a long time. Anyone got a brain that works?
    A few months ago someone posted a fix that required to disable a windows update that work for a while. Now iTunes is back to its old freezing behaviors. Fix it Apple now!..

    This is a useless reply. It does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing to fix it.  Itunes always freezes when Ipod is connected. This is a problem with Windows 7 64bit and is very common problem. Itunes doesn't want to cooperate with 64bit windows. If you search the internet, lots are having the same problem. This problem has existed for 10 years. Every new version of itunes never fixes the problem. Why can't Apple and Microsoft work together to fix the issue. This is unacceptable. Apple software designers are very lazy and stupid.

  • ITunes 11.1 freezes when I connect my ipod Touch 5g w/ ios 7

    I recently downloaded ios 7 for my ipod touch 5g. I didn't have a problem with ios 7 as I actually kind of liked it. However, when I tried to sync my music, itunes told me that i needed to download version 11.1 because it supports ios 7. I downloaded it and hooked my ipod up. Whenever I do this, it freezes/crashes my computer afeter about 10 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hello rise92,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes 11.1 and your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops responding when you connect your iPod:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Our converted eCourses often freeze when launched from our new 3rd party hosted LMS...

    We have recently purchased a new externally hosted LMS system (Silkroad's GreenLight) and we have a 3rd party taking our older authorware courses (which are working) and updating/converting them using Adobe Captivate 5.5.  Once these are done and uploaded into the LMS system, users are finding sporadic freezing at launch of the converted courses.  In some cases we are using a Riverbed solution to compress content so that network performance is not an issue.  With the various components involved in this situation. we are having a hard time troubleshooting and narrowing down the problem as it is so inconsistent.  I noticed a blog http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/projects-published-captivate-5-lms.html suggesting a fix and we tried this with one user it worked with another it did not.  Our environment consist of XP (and some Win7), Adobe Flash Player 10+, and IE8 or 9.  Can anyone tell us what the proposed template fix described in the blog is actually doing?  Or if you've experienced this problem and have another fix we could try?  Any help is appreciated....Getting desperate.  Thanks!

    I believe the patches offered in that post were to address an issue that sometimes occurs with Resume Data bookmarking in certain LMSs. 
    If you are currently using Resume Data bookmarking, try disabling it by checking the box in LMS Customisation dialog to Never Send Resume Data.  If that resolves your issue, you at least know what is causing it.
    In cases where there are a large number of variables, the only way to diagnose the issue may be to remove as many variables as possible first. Then when you finally get to a stable version that does not misbehave, you then re-introduce the other components to find the one/s that re-introduce the issue.
    So, in your case, you may need to look at how your developers are 'converting' the authorware content in Captivate.  Make sure they recreate everything using Captivate components, and insert the images via the approved menus etc.  I'd also temporarily avoid using this Riverbed compression solution until you have established the cause of your issue.  It may be interferring with something.

  • Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

    I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!

  • I3 freezes when launching ncmpcpp from dmenu

    It works great when I launch ncmpcpp from within a terminal (urxvt or xterm). But the whole system freezes when trying to launch it from dmenu. I'm forced to hit the power button on my desktop.
    When I power back on and inspect the i3 log file, there's nothing past the call to dmenu_run:

    When I try and use dmenu, this time from openbox, ncmpcpp launches flawlessly.
    Let me know if you require more information

    IIRC, it will do that in any window manager when you try to run a[n] [N]CURSES program without a terminal.
    marfig wrote:[...] could you please at least have inserted a comment on AUR explaining the program?
    AUR description wrote:A simple Dmenu-based application launcher. Launches binaries and XDG shortcuts.
    AUR descriptions can only be so long and any comments there were wiped out by that database incident.  Sorry 'bout that.
    Anyway, it is a small shell script that uses Dmenu to launch applications either by binary name or XDG shortcut name (e.g., "writer" for OpenOffice Writer instead of $(soffice -writer)), and it can be told to launch applications in a terminal instead, which I figured would help you out.
