ITunes 11.1.5 (64-bit) tries to open, but freezes Windows 7 (64-bit)

Even when it does manage to open, it instantly becomes unresponsive. Browser and other computer tasks become unresponsive. The task manager takes longer that usual to open when it does open. Had to shut down processes in task manager to take control of the system back. Had to force shut off PC twice because at one point the pointer and touchpad functions became unresponsive. Uninstall and re-install results in the same. It started when I dragged 146 re-tagged songs to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. At the moment I have over 32,000 files in iTunes.
I used Mp3tag to re-tag the mp3 files I tried to drag in. Although these songs where in iTunes while they were being tagged, I only retagged titles and artists, I didn't even add images to the mp3 files so I don't see why it would be too much work for iTunes to classify the previous versions as missing (as it always does) and just add the new files as it always did.
Of course this retagging process could have nothing to do with what is happening. I went back and extracted the songs from the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder (yes they were still there, all of them) and set them aside in a different location to see if it relieved iTunes from the workload, but no change. I tried uninstalling and installing an older version (11.1.3) but it didn't work. I uninstalled and tried to re-install 11.1.5 but the same thing is happening.
I just tried to view a CD I put in my PC with the purpose to rip it, and iTunes did the same thing.
I run Windows 7 (64-bit), with 70GB of storage available (of 449), Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor, and 8GB of RAM to work with.
Thanks ahead of time.

Hey pippin73,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like the third-party plugin may be impacting the performance of iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface
- Slow performance
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly
- You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you see the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
- OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
- Windows: Hold down Shift-Control while opening iTunes.
If opening iTunes in safe mode resolves your issue, see the above resource for steps you can take to minimize impact.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times. Now what?

I figured it out. A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help. So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean. And it worked. I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked! And I lost nothing from my account.
Maybe this info will help others.

I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do?

I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do to fix it?

Are there any apps in the muti-tasking bar? If the app closed unexpectedly and appeared in the muti-tasking bar, end it. Double tap the home button and then hold the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the minus at the top left at the app (if you want, end all the remaining apps) try opening them now. Hope this helps! :)

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Itunes 10.2 wont open in my windows 64-bit

hi guys,
i've been trying to open my itunes 10.2 on my toshiba a665-s6089 windows 7 64-bit, but nothing works. from my past experience, i already used itunes 10.1 and it worked pretty well, but after i updated my itunes to 10.2, it won't work. Moreover, i uninstalled my itunes 10.2 and changed it again to 10.1 and still, it wont open! I've tried to stop bonjour service, but doesn't work. please help. thanks!

many thanks.
Some questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits with error-message-free iTunes launch failures.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

10.8.3, trying to open system preferences in 32-bit mode

I installed Tivo Desktop, which is a 32-bit System Preferences panel, and when I try and open it, I get the standard message "To use the “TiVo Desktop” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen". I click "OK" and it closes, but never re-opens. If I reopen it, I get the same message. I tried the "get info" option for System Preferences in the App folder, but there is no "Open as 32 bit" check box anywhere. I have seen other posts regarding opening System Preferences in 32 bit mode, by selecting this check box. Wondering why I am missing it? Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance, Jeff

No. Mountain Lion can't be run as 32 bit.

How to Delete 32 Bit Version of CS6 (but not removing 64 bit version)?

I created a bit of a problem. I have CS6 on a Win 7 64-bit system. I originally installed only the 64 bit version, but then several months later I installed the 32 bit version (don't ask why). Now the following file types are associated with teh 32 bit version: tif, tiff, psd and cr2 (I have associated jpg with a different program, so they are not a problem). I have tried to change the file association by (1) using Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type to associate with the 64 bit version and (2) specifiying the default program from the context menu when right clicking on a file. All to no avail, as these files remain associated with the 32 bit version of CS6.
So I decided to uninstall the 32 bit version. But that won't work either. As you can see from the image, below, I can uninstall the 64 bit version but not the 32 bit version, which is the exact opposite of what I want to do.
I will be happy for any suggestions, either to uninstall the 32 bit version or to get Windows to make the association between the tif, psd and cr2 files and the 64 bit version of CS6.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
David

Client getting an IP lease on the 64-bit LiteTouch boot image, but not the 32-bit version.

MDT 2012 U1. No problem with PXE booting so WDS is not the issue.
The NIC in question is the Intel I217-LM, which resides on both the new Dell Optiplex 9020 and the Latitude E7440. I downloaded the Dell drivers and then the Intel drivers and imported them into the WindowsPE drivers folder in the workbench. Updated
the boot images to make sure the new drivers were injected. Both yielded the same result. I can do everything I need to do when booting to the 64-bit LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot image, but not the 32-bit version. When booting to the 32-bit
version, I get no IP configuration info at all.
When looking at the drivers in MDT, I see only one difference: the supported OS versions. The 64-bit driver supports 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.2. The 32-bit driver supports only 6.1.1 and 6.2. Not sure if that's the issue.
Tried using drvload within 32-bit WinPE to manually inject the NIC driver. Still no luck. Ipconfig yields no configuration at all.
If I can't get these machines to boot to the 32-bit boot images, I can't deploy 32-bit images, unless there's a way of which I'm unaware.
EDIT: A little extra background. My WindowsPE folder has two subfolders called x86 and x64. Obviously, 32-bit drivers go into the x86 folder and 64-bit drivers go into the x64 folder. Then in the properties of the deployment share a
selection profile is selected which points to the architecture-specific folders.

Specifically what do you see when you are in WinPE, press the F8 button, and run ipconfig.
1. ipconfig shows no network adapters (see:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rpedersen/clip_image002_53DA17D4.jpg ). This means you still have not loaded the correct device drivers, check the c:\windows\system32\wpeinit.log file.
2. ipconfig shows an "autoconfiguration IPv4 Address" with a netmastk of 255.255.0.0. This means that the client did not get an IP address from the DHCP server. Double check the connection between the client and the DHCP server.
3. ipconfig shows a correct address. There is no problem. :^)

I get the first result. Absolutely no network adapters, which I assumed indicated no appropriate device driver.

At first I thought the first bolded section might be relevant, but when I booted to the x64 boot image, which works fine, I get the same message in its wpeinit.log file. The only difference between the two log files is that the x64 boot image actually
shows successful installation of a driver where the second bolded section is.

Finder crashes when trying to open a new window

When trying to open a new Finder window, Finder will crash and relaunch but won't open an actual new window. Neither can I use the Go To Folder menu.
I tried relaunching Finder, restarting my MacBook and repairing my disk. Unfortunately, nothing has helped so far..
Any ideas?
Small addition: I first noticed the problem while trying to open a DMG file. I don't have any reason to suspect this file is malicious though.

I faced the exact same problem.
