ITunes 10.7.0.21 crashing and memory usage

Running on Windows 7 64 bit. This is the first version I have had this issue with. After running for several minutes, iTunes will do one of three things:
Crash
Freeze, and require me to force it closed in the task manager
Display a recurring message about not enough memory
Watching it more closely, iTunes seems to continue to take up more and more memory the longer it is running, which I suspect is the cause of all three symptoms.
Anyone else experiencing this memory leak problem?
Is this just a problem with this version that I'll have to wait until the next one, or is there a fix?

I am having the very same issues, admittedly with and older (5 yrs) Windows Vista 32-bit Dell laptop. I had been holding out for a little while on allowing iTunes to upgrade on my computer, and had no issues or complaints with iTunes 7, 8, or 9. But after I allowed it to upgrade today, 10.7 is worthless.
After a few minutes, iTunes pops up with a message regarding insufficient memory, freezes, then crashes. Not even using video, just putting together a playlist of regular file size songs.
I know after reading a bit on the boards that trying to re-install version 9 may cause some things to be lost in translation from 10 to 9, apparently because of some changes in the way the software is set up. Please correct me if that is not the case.
However, I would rather risk it (I have all of my music files on an external hard drive) than to keep having iTunes behave as it is- making the software that I've been using for years worthless to me since it cannot work correctly.
By the by, I know my laptop is ancient by technology standards, but won't be upgrading quite yet.
If you know a reliable source to download the previous versions of iTunes for Windows, I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. I'm fairly computer savvy, and know that I'll need to un-install the most recent iTunes version prior to installing an older version.

HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

HELP" error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

HT1420 How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are no longer accessible??

How do I deauthorize the use of itunes on computers which have crashed and are not accessible??

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
Deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you can't use iTunes content on it until you reauthorise it.

Get CPU and memory usage

Hi!
I would like to know if there is any way of getting system CPU and memory usage using Java code.

I want to get the system CPU and memory usage using the performance monitor dll, the perfctrs.dll, but access this data using Java language.Then you should create wrapper dll between your java code and perfctrs.dll and convert data from format of dll to format of your java code.
So, that is next question - how to create wrapper dll, how to deal with or how perfctrs.dll works?

How to find out CPU and memory usage for an instance?

Hi DBA Gurus,
How to find out CPU usage and memory usage for an instance?
Any information is appreciated!
Thank you!
Robert

you can calculate cpu usage by adding fallowing three factors which you can get from v$sysstat
1. Parse CPU time : This represents the percentage of CPU time spent parsing SQL statements. Parse time CPU can be a strong indication that an application has not been well tuned. High parse time CPU usually indicates that the application may be spending too much time opening and closing cursors or is not using bind variables.
2. Recursive CPU time : Sometimes, to execute a SQL statement issued by a user, the Oracle Server must issue additional statements. Such statements are called recursive calls or recursive SQL statements. For example, if you insert a row into a table that does not have enough space to hold that row, the Oracle Server makes recursive calls to allocate the space dynamically if dictionary managed tablespaces are being used.
Recursive calls are also generated due to the inavailability of dictionary info in the dictionary cache, firing of database triggers, execution of DDL, execution of SQL within PL/SQL blocks, functions or stored procedures and enforcement of referential integrity constraints
3. Other CPU time : This represents the percentage of time spent looking for buffers, fetching rows or index keys, etc. Generally, \"Other\" CPU should represent the highest percentage of CPU time out of the total CPU time used.
total memory used you can calculate adding
total_agrigate_area+sga
memory usage on os level you can know by fallowing commands
vmstat 5 20 depending upon os

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
Cheers

Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

How can I add music to my iPhone 3 from a new iTunes? My old laptop crashed and I don't want to lose my music by syncing my iPhone with the new iTunes

I have an iPhone 3, and it was synced to iTunes on my old laptop. My laptop recently crashed, and now I have a new laptop. I just dowloaded iTunes and imported a few CDs that I want to add to my iPhone. Unfortunately, I can't add them to my iPhone without syncing it and therefore losing my music on my iPhone, most of which was not purchased through iTunes so I can't restore it that way. I was going to update to ios5 so I could use the cloud to save my music, but I will lose all my non-purchased music if I update. Help!!!!

i dont have a backup copy from my old computer
Really? Why would you do that?
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
No backup is not good.

I have a new computer, and a new iTunes. My old computer crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I switch over my iPod and iPad to my new iTunes?

My laptop crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I transfer everything to my new iTunes to be able to sync my products with having to "erase" and start from scratch on evrything? Any insight will be greatly appreciatted! Thank you!!

Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

Restoring iTunes library after hard disk crash and replacement

My iTunes library was on my hard drive which crashed and died last week. I now have a new hard drive. My iPod 80gb was up to date before the new hard drive was installed... can I copy the content of the iPod back to the new hard drive... HOW???
Alternatively I have a backup of my old hard drive (which included the "My Music/iTunes" folders... can I restore from there?... I tried simply copying files which didn't work. I also tried "Add folder" from iTunes, it kind of worked but many of the tunes were grayed out and had a download icon next to them, even though they were previously ripped from CDs or bought through iTunes.
what should I do???

Hey Dave W RI,
Perhaps, it would be more helpful, for you to search this forum for terms like recover music, or something related.
That would return threads, from others, that have had this same question.
Hope this helps,

Editing video clips in a slideshow and Memory usage

A couple of queries-1) I've made a slideshow from an album after culling 2000 photos. Unfortunately I omitted to make edit the content of 2 video clips contained in the slideshow. Is there any way of extracting these clips,making the changes and re-inserting them in the slideshow or do I have to start again?
2) When a slideshow is created does it take up HD memory?

I've now discovered ( using Omni Disk Sweep) that Parallels 5 with XP has eaten my last 10GB.. maybe time for an upgrade!
It certainly is.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

Gt70 2pc dominator Lag/stutter and high hard disk and memory usage

After Receiving the gt70 back from repairs (was repaired by msi) and installing some games my notebook started high disk usage and system responsiveness decreased very noticably i thought it was temporarily but it wasn't. When i played games i noticed stutters from time to time and i can see the hard drive Led being lit up completely when it happens, when i go to task manager i can see about 87% memory utilization but isn't about 3gb usage and hard drive being at 100% usage (even in idle most of time) and isn't using 3 mb/s, i'm not an expert with software related problems so i hope you go easy on me and thanks for your help.
EDIT: Sometimes the pc crashes and give me this notification "system thread exception not handled" i searched and says it's due to bad driver and requires booting from windows cd but obviously it is an embedded windows so i don't know what to do. Another problem which is minor is when i try to shutdown it says "please wait" and then boots into windows again, i have to restart and then shutdown or press the power button to shut it down.

You can refer the following links:

And also suggest to disable Windows Update, any antivirus activities, or unwanted processes.
