ITunes 11.1.4 not responding on open.

When I open iTunes 11.1.4 on my MacBook Pro, the tool bar appears at the top, but no window opens and no functions are available. Basically it freezes and doesn't respond on opening. Can anyone help me with this problem.

Firefox is already running, but not responding to open a new window

I closed the only opened Firefox process that was running. Then clicked the Fox to start Firefox again. I received a message: Firefox is already running, but not responding, to open a new window. You must close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This is a stupid message since there is no Firefox in process.

IPAD is not responding, cannot open any aps.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.

I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.
I have tried both uninstalling the software and reinstalling it, I have tried to run the software in safemode, and I have tried to change the Quicktime settings to see if that helps.
Nothing has worked. It always does the same thing, where it freezes the moment I tell it to "play".
I have tried to use my other computer instead, going through the same process and I got the exact same result where it freezes.
Therefore it has to be something to do with the software, because the computers use different graphics cards, yet it responds the same.

Hi Canon-Thought!
I have an article here for you that deals with this exact issue. You may have already completed many of the steps that this article will suggest, but look over it to see if it suggests something you haven't already tried:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Also, I suggest paying close attention to the list of programs that you would need to uninstall, in order, so that you can fully uninstall iTunes and all related components from your computer. If those programs and steps are not followed exactly, you may end up with issues using iTunes.
If this issue only happens with one singular movie, you may need to report that there is an issue with your purchase. We have an article for doing that, and it can be found here:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

After installing Lion 10.7, I find that whenever I try to change the desktop wallpaper in system preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
I tried to find the systempreferences.plist, as seen from google searches, but I can't find it anywhere, and those seem to be solutions for SL, L or Tiger.
Help appreciated.
Thanks!

I've been having the same issue with system preferences in osx lion freezing and not doing anything for the past week. Your post solved the problem; all I had to do was move the iphoto library and the photo booth library to the desktop, then I moved them back to my pictures folder in the finder window. Now system preferences works like a charm, even if I restart the system the system preferences utilities are all accessible.
This solved the problem; whereas other posts that had me use disk utility to repair the hard drive or repair the disk permissions didn't solve the issue.
This now saves me a call to apple tech support
Thank you.

Re: System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.

Itunes 9.0.1 not responding

I recently upgraded to itunes 9.0.1 on my mac.
I've never had any problems with itunes before.
But now, when I open it immediately tries to load genius, gets as far as "gathering information from your library" and then it freezes and the little "not responding", spinny wheel thing comes up.
I've tried to stop it from attempting to load genius. But I don't seem to be able to.
The only way I can get out of it is to force quit itunes.
I know all my music is still there, because I can search for it in the finder. It opens in itunes and starts to play. But itunes is essentially frozen and it will only play the one song at a time, when I open them through the finder.
I really need to get this sorted out as I'm going insane without my music.
Can anyone please help resolve the issue?

ITunes on Windows XP not responding

Well, I would love to use iTunes in future on my computer
BUT
-internet radio: as soon the network stalls (either server side or internet itself (p.e. 24h-disconnect)) and the stream has to reconnect, iTunes would run on 100% CPU and would be very non-responsive.
THATS VERY ANNOYING - as i have to kill iTunes via TaskManager then...
-when I click on "Preferences"->"Advanced"->"Burning"
iTunes wont respond anymore - it even makes Windows XP Explorer stall a little (Taskbar doesnt work anymore, some apps wont start until iTunes is killed)

Allthough I think noone of Apple cares... just wanted to let you know, that I think iTunes seems to suck on Windows...

Itunes opens, I can see my library, but then it does not respond, just freezes.
Mackspank, we're going to try an experiment to determine if this is to do with a dodgy itunes preference file on your PC. (this isn't a cure, it's a "diagnostic procedure". if we get the right result from the experiment, we'll try for a cure.)
head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
now log out of the old account and log into the new account.
does itunes launch properly (without freezing) from inside the new account?

Itunes freezing up and not responding

I have a Dell laptop running on Vista. I recently had to restore my iPhone 4S, and each time I launch iTunes, it opens and then stops responding. ("Not responding" shows in the task manager.) My laptop is very sluggish now, so I purchased a new laptop. Now I want to sync my newly-restored iphone with my old laptop but keep having the same problem. I also want to move my iTunes files to my new laptop, but because of the freezing up and "not responding", I am stuck. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

I'm having the same problem! I updated iTunes and now the program opens but doesn't respond to certain commands. HATE HATE HATE...
I'm reinstalling now thinking that may help...fingers crossed.
I'll have no other way to load up my iPad, or the 3 iPhones in my house!

ITunes starts up as 'Not Responding'

iTunes was working fine a few minutes ago, but now when I try and start it up it is not responding. When I click the icon to startup, my screen just goes white. When I go into Task Manager iTunes is not responding. I cannot minimize it, but I can use other applications on the taskbar.
EDIT: It seems to be fixed now, I just tried closing it and opening it over and over again.

ITunes and other applications "not responding" after impoting CD's

Hi....After I import songs from a my CD collection into into my iTunes (version 7.02) library, many applications, including iTunes, freeze up and are "not responding", and I'm forced to CTRL-ALT-DEL to "end task" on the unresponsive applications. For example, if I have my AOL browser running, I can no longer open new web pages after importing a CD on iTunes. Also, after closing the applications (via CTRL-ALT-DEL), nothing happens when I double click on them again to reopen the programs (again, including itunes itself). To be able to run the programs again I have to either restart the computer or log off my user ID and log back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Dell Dimension Windows XP Pentium 4 - 2.52 GHz, 768 MB of RAM

I am having similar problem. After I imported songs
from CD and exit itunes, I try to log off and my
computer freezes up. It doesn't log off, screen goes
black. I can't do anything, not even ctr-alt-del. I
have to push button to power off. Does anyone know
whats going on? Help
Ok, I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this fix before posting my initial question, as any sane Windows user should know to try this troubleshoot early on for many Windows problems: Running the disk defragmenter solved the problem of my PC feezing after I imported a CD into iTunes. Katikat..I'm not sure how close your issue is to the problem I was having, but I suugest trying it if you haven't already. If you've never run the disk defrag it's easy: START -- All Programs -- Accessories -- System Tools -- Disk Defragmenter, then choose your hard drive(s). Depending on how much stuff is on your hard drive and how long it's been since you last defrag, this can take anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour. Not sure if this will help with your problem, but worth a try. Best of luck. Piachet

Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

When closing FF and then try to go back on, a msg. says FF is already running, but not responding, to open new window you must first close the existing window or restart system. How do i close without restarting?

'This happens after a FF session is ended and am back on my desktop screen. If I then try to go back online a message says that FF is already running but is not responding. To open a new session you must first close the existing process or restart your system. I have to restart the computer to before it allows me to go back on. How can I close the session and then open a new one without rebooting???

Hey GreenViking,
You can kill the process manually by right clicking in the task bar (next to the time and date) and opening the task manager.
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it This article] has some information about Firefox hanging when you try to close it.
Hope that helps!

ITunes 11.0.2 Not Responding

I have a rather large iTunes library, 514 Gb & 81,000 files. I'm trying to clean up the metadata, primarily the genres, and iTunes continually stops responding. I can change one group of songs or albums without a problem, but the next group I just get the "spinning beach ball". When I Force Quit iTunes and reopen, the metadata has changed. This is a major annoyance considering that iTunes is advertised as not having a limit on the size of a iTunes library. Any ideas?

I've had similar happen to me today (March 12, 2013). I added some new mp3s to iTunes and decided to force iTunes match so my work PC and iPhone would have the files immediately. When I did that, about half of the files were in Match, and iTunes has gone unresponsive. I've found that if I'm quick at startup, I can click the x next to updating iTunes match in the display window, then click on store and turn off iTunes Match, I can use the software without it going unresponsive. If I do not turn off iTunes Match in the store drop down, it will go unresponsive.
That's my best suggestion as of right now.
