ITunes 11 Not Responding When I Try to Burn a CD

So.. I have a Windows PC, Windows 7 64Bit. I installed the latest version of iTunes.
When I insert a CD-R to burn, it immediately goes into "NOT RESPONDING" mode.
Now, I don't even get that pop-up that allows me to choose CD, Data Disc or MP3 disc. That no longer pops up as it's already in NOT RESPONDING mode.
So, here's what I have tried.
(ALL of these steps did NOT fix the issue)
Deleting and re-installing iTunes.
Tried 6 different brands and types of CD-Rs. Regular, LightScribe, Memorex brand, Maxell brand, Philips brand, etc. No difference.
Updating the drivers of the DVD-ROM/recordable drive.
Did a Window update.
Deleted the drivers for the drive and let Windows Re-install them
Uncheck the "Search Entire Library" option in hourglass search because that, too, freezes iTunes 11.
Repair iTunes (vs. remove).
When none of this worked, I said "Forget this, iTunes 11 isn't stable. I'm going back to version 10.7!"
So, I uninstalled/removed iTunes 11.
I found the install for iTunes 10.7.
I tried to install iTunes 10.7
I got this error: "iTUNES 10.7 Cannot be used because the iTunes library was created in a later version of iTunes"
Lovely.
So, what was left?? I tried SYSTEM RESTORE.
Re-installed iTunes 11.
Did not help.
When I tried to re-install iTunes 10.7, it would NOT open so I cannot go find PREVIOUS iTunes Libraries and use those.
PLEASE help! THANKS!!

ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

Ah then that is the issue.
1. Is Pages registered? It turns into a demo version after 3months otherwise.
2. This makes it interesting as to what happens if it has, because a demo version can't/won't save and I'm curious if this causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
3. There may actually be a problem with one of the documents which again causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
4. You are entitled to AppleCare telephone support to try ands resolve this in detail which is difficult to do without seeing what is actually going on because there are multiple files involoved
5. Which raises the issue of does it freeze consistently on hitting a certain document? In which case moving or archiving that document may get Pages to actually launch

I get "disc burner or software not found" when I try to burn a playlist.

I am now getting "disc burner or software not found" when I try to burn a playlist from iTunes version 10.6.1.7 on Windows 7 PC. I've not added any new burner software or made any software changes of any kind. I have NERO 8 and I checked the "burn rights" is set for "everyone".
Is the any solution?

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.

Using Yosemite 10.10.1
Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
Any ideas?

Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

ITunes "Not Responding" when I try burning

Hello there,
I have been having this problem for quite a while. My iTunes stops working if I try to do anything involving burning. I can burn with media player and such and have no problems.
If I go to Edit, preferences, advanced, burning.. to change my options, iTunes freezes up and I have to CtrlAltDel and shut it down. And it always says "Not Responding" I tried just forgetting about the options and putting in the blank CD, but as soon as I press 'Burn Cd' the same thing happens. I tried downloading new versions and all of that, but it still doesn't work. I have had other problems with iTunes in the past but this is the first involving burning. I've even unistall - reinstalled but it doesn't make any difference. It used to burn just fine, and then it started freezing up in the preferences menu, now just today it has started freezing up when i hit 'burn cd'. Any idea how I fix this?

Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
My Trash Local folders says 8300.
This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you.
Fred

Itunes application not responding when I plug in my iphone

I am on itunes 8.2 and when I plug in my iphone itunes just goes into application not responding.
I wait for a while and then unplug the phone and it goes back to working again.
On the phone there is no "Sync" message. In fact with the phone plugged in I can access the phones apps just as if it was not plugged in.
But initially when I plug it in, it does the double vibrate and shows the charging graphic so I know the cable is ok.
The phone is already on 3.1 apparently because some new features are there... like selecting multiple photos to email.
But I don't recall ever running any updates in itunes to make it use the new software as I read you were supposed to do.
I don't want to upgrade to itunes 9 because I read so many people having problems with it... but I wonder if the phone is no longer compatible with itunes 8.2
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
-Jeff

Do you know if the problems people have reported with itunes 9 was before the 9.1 release?
I've heard tons of people saying they were reverting back to itunes 8.2 because 9 was so bad.
Am a bit nervous about that update because of that.
But an applecare guy told me that the 9.1 was supposed to address those issues. I have just not heard anything about that actually fixing things though. Still seems like a lot of people are dreading the new itunes 9.
If you are an itunes 9 user, did you have any problems with it wiping out your library or any terribly long syncing times?
Thanks.

ITunes hangs "not responding" when nano 5g connected to PC

Hi,
Just bought my wife a Nano 5g for her birthday to replace her old broken 2nd gen version.
Plugged it in, iTunes fired up as usual, except it complained that v9 is needed.
V9 downloaded and installed, but hangs when ipod connected, task manager shows as "not responding"
I've tried: uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; Changing usb cables and usb port; Also tried on another PC.
Same thing happens.
Is this a dud ipod? What are my options?
Been an ipod user for years and have always hated itunes as a piece of software and this could well be the final straw.
Help needed please.
Thanks,
Dave

I have used the nano on XP Home and Vista with no problems. So I would keep looking for a solution on your home system. If you are running service pack 3 and all the latest updates for iTunes and the firmware for you nano, you should be good.
You might start thinking about things that are on your home system that are not on the system at work. Maybe anti virus software, etc. that kind of thing. I don't know anything specific regarding anti virus software, just using that as an example that might play into it.
My system running XP home has avast anti virus, steam and a bunch of games installed. I also have some Logitech drivers installed for their keyboards, mice, etc. but that is really it.
