ITunes 7.02 FREEZES - please help!

So I upgraded to 7.02 because my computer was stalking me to do so. Now when I open iTunes it freezes while it is trying to define "gapless playback" I really don't care about gapless playback, I just want any playback and I can't figure out how to make it stop and I hate the new iTunes and I need to be able to get to my music. Can someone help me free my computer of the need to insure gapless playback????

Version 7.0.2.16
okay. with that message on earlier versions (itunes 7.0.0.70 and 7.0.1.8), some folks had some success with pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
There are also some instructions on how to back up registry keys in the following document:
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
is that of any help with your 7.0.2.16 version of this?

New iTunes, film keeps freezing! Help please!

I have the new iTunes (not sure which version to be honest, whichever was the last to pop up!) and have since downloaded a film from the apple store. It finished downloading and I am now trying to watch it but it won't go 30 seconds without freezing! It then seems to fast forward itself for a couple of seconds to catch up to the point where it should be! Very frustrating as it is the first film I have bought from itunes!!! I have since tried to download another version of itunes, and then tried to play it on Quicktime and it still freezes! Does anybody know how I can get it to play properly!? Help is appreciated.

I may have solved the problems: I am now trying the troubleshoot file someone else posted on a similar problem:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856>
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
The batch file didn't solve it, but deleting the first preference file: iTunesPref.xml seems to have worked, what it has done so far, on re-clicking on iTunes is that a whole bunch of podcasts downloaded that were not there before (some older ones I may have previously deleted or never downloaded under the podcast subscriptions, am not sure which) and itunes recreated a new preference file. In any event itunes has not frozen yet (half hour to go before podcast updates). Anyway I recommend you to look at the troublshoot page. It should be put at the top of these discussion lists, to save us all several hours of searching for solutions.
All my kindest best wishes, I am,

krakrjak,
For better results I'd recommend creating your own thread so the responses received focus on your issue/question.
This document explains how to recover iTunes Store purchases from your device:

If the music on your iPod is not purchased from the iTunes Store, recovering the songs will require the use of third party software. Some links:

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

I can't use mail, safari, app store or itunes since 'upgrade' to yosemite. HELP!

I updated itunes yesterday and then yosemite.
Since then my:
-itunes wont work, it bounces, opens, then starts thinking then closes.
-Mail doesn't work, it can't connect to the server
-Safari doesn't work, can't connect to the wifi, but chrome does although seems to struggle a bit
-App Store can't connect
I have tried uninstalling itunes via terminal as suggested in some other posts and reinstalling but that didn't help. I"ve restarted.
HELP! I basically can not do anything on my computer as I previously did. I would be happy to just get rid of both updates and go back to how my computer was 48 hours ago if possible.

I had similar problems, and found a solution that worked for me.
I was using Wifi at the time.
So I thought; maybe its not a problem with the apps, but with the Wifi.. Sure enough, as soon as i plugged my laptop into the router with a cable, everything worked a 100%.
When I switched back to wifi, it went back to the previous crappy state.
But it seems like I managed to fix this as well, while being connected to Wifi and no cable:
-Go to System preferences
-Network
-On the top of the window, there is a drop down menu for switching "location".
-Select Automatic
And that did the trick for me.. My location was set to something else than "Automatic", some Netflix trickery I've done a long time before updating to Yosemite...
Hope this can help you as well:-)

ITunes Freezes Computer HELP!

Hey Guys I have been having this problem for awhile now. I got my computer back in October and I never had this issue til later in the year. My computer totally freezes majority of the time when I use iTunes. I have tried running no other programs but iTunes and it still freezes randomly. The only major issue I have with this is that I cannot listen to my music since I can't use iTunes without it freezing. After it freezes my computer follows the same pattern every time. I have to wait like 10 Minutes after I shut the computer off manually to turn it back on. If I try turning it back on before the 10 minutes is up the computer sits at the windows loading screen and does not stop. If I wait 10 minutes as I said the computer starts normally and I have no issues til I open up iTunes and try to play a song. I thought maybe it was my sound card, but I can use any other media player and I have no issues. My friend has the same problem on a computer he built last summer. We have totally different computers so it is definately not hardware. I just want to know if there is anyone else who has this problem and knows how to fix the freezing. It gets really irratating when I go to listen to my favorite tune while I surf the net or play a game and the computer freezes and will not turn back on for 10 minutes. I have tried reformatting and I could listen to iTunes again, but after a couple of days it goes back to doing the same thing. Help would most definately be appreciated!

If you plug your ipod into your computer after deleting songs on your computer then it will automatically update and delete all the songs on your ipod that aren't on your computer. You can turn this option off my plugging your ipod into the computer before you delete the songs and go into the ipod options. Turn off the auto update option and you should be good to go. You can also try using a progrma called ephpod that takes all your songs on your ipod and puts them on your computer without destroying the songs on the ipod if they are not on the computer. Hope this solves your problem.

ITunes makes Mountain Lion Freeze - Please Help

Hi there: Mountain Lion seems rock solid on my mac pro except when I listen to music with iTunes - it will freeze the system (no more music, just a frozen screen saver)... Power cycle (holding down the power button) is the only way to unfreeze it... All other apps run just fine with no issues. Also, I'm connected to airport express via ethernet, not wifi. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please advise and thank you very much!

I have the exact same problem except on a imac, with 16G ram. Also not hooked to WiFi. I have an app called Logic Pro (music maker) and I wonder if that is causing it

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 ipod freeze during sync

hello,
firstly, i would like to thank all you kind souls who post to this forum with very helpful suggestions. you have helped me with many past difficulties.
my present issue concerns transferring songs from itunes to my ipod (4th generation). here's the story:
on friday, my ipod started acting funny (skipping songs, etc.). by saturday, it would no longer do anything (folder with !, resetting did not help). this had happened to me before so i did not freak out and figured i just had to restore (that had worked the first time around). however, when i plugged in my ipod to my computer (powerbook g4, just three weeks old), it was not recognised and i was prompted to initialize the disk. i then came to this forum and read pretty much everything related to this kind of problem. countless resets, erases, partitions, etc., later, i was able to get the ipod software back on the ipod. it seemed all normal but there was no music on it (makes sense since i'd restored it). but then...when i plugged in my ipod to sync it with itunes, it would freeze at a given song (not always the same one, sometimes 31 songs into it, sometimes 500). i came back to this forum and read that i should reset my ports, which i did. didn't help, the sync still freezes both the ipod and itunes.
so that's where i'm at: i have the ipod software on the ipod, but i can't sync it with itunes (i.e. i can't get my music onto it). my brother thinks i have bad blocks (or sectors). is this a possibility? the ipod does make some noise (not sure whether it's the infamous clicking...).
so here are my questions:
1) is there anything i haven't done yet that could get the ipod to sync with itunes?
assuming i have done everything and the problem is with my ipod's hard disk:
2) would a program like disk warrior potentially be able to fix the ipod?
3) would it cost me less to have the ipod serviced than to buy disk warrior?
4) is there somekind of open-source or freeware disk repair utility that could perhaps repair my ipod's disk?
thanks for reading and i really look forward to any suggestions.
gen
p.s. the ipod's more than a year old, so no longer under warranty.

Okay, I got it to work tonight...
My U2 iPod would freeze while syncing. I restored and tried to sync and it would freeze on different song #'s. All the while I heard a clicking sound coming from the drive that I never noticed before. It would just click once in a while, not repeatedly.
My fix: (a version of the carpet drop) While the iPod was on and spinning, I held it tight with my right hand, facing me and smacked it's side into the palm of my left hand, simulating the amount of force that it would incurr from a waist-high drop onto carpet.
Now, this force was sheer approximation, being that it would be too time consuming and difficult to calculate this exact amount of force. I mean, my waist may be higher/lower than the original carpet-dropper, and not to mention the plushness of the carpet! Who knows if he did it on Shenandoah Shagg or maybe just some Bermuda Burr Rug?!
By the way, the problem started after being left out in the car on recent cold nights... hmmmm, my iPod thinks me a jerk.
Anyways, here are some previous attempts at fixing my situation (in no particular order):
1) restored from 5 different iPod updates (2004-11-15, 2005-02-22, 2005-06-26, 2005-09-23, 2005-11-17)
2) tried to fix with Disk Utility
3) tried to fix with Tech Tool Pro
4) tried to fix with Disk Warrior
5) tried to initialize multiple time (even writing zeroes)
6) manual sync
