ITunes 5 making my iMac G5 Crash for 1st time!!!

This iTunes 5.0 update has caused my iMac G5 to crash several times since the I downloaded it. My iMac has only crashed once since I purchased it back in Feb of this year, now it has crased at least 4 times since the 5.0 update. What in the heck is going on. I'm writing this email from my PC laptop because I can't even do anything on my iMac.
THIS IS INSANE!! I NEED HELP!!! Has anyone else had this problem besides me? Is a fix coming out soon??
What should I do, I can't even use my iMac now?
HELP!

P.S.
For the fist time now, when I restart my iMac the start-up music is gone. I find this very strange. What in the world is going on?

  • I do not have an apple computer,  I have had Itunes  Previously but had not used it for some time.  when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times  install Itunes.  "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

    I do not have an Apple computer,  I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time,  I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them.  I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file."  How can I overcome this?

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

  • TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

    Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase)  I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • I'm in need for a thunderbolt display before December.  My old Imac is like new (don't want to invest in a new Imac yet).  Can I connect the thund-D to the old Imac via USB for the time being?

    I'm in need for a thunderbolt display before December.  My old Imac is like new (don't want to invest in a new Imac yet).  Can I connect the thund-D to the old Imac via USB for the time being?

    Their are some display adaptors you can get. I have an older Mac Pro with DVI but my monitor is a Thunderbolt Display. This used to be around $250. It is way cheaper now.

  • New Satellite C55-A-1UE trying to set it up for 1st time

    Hi
    Just got my new Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1UE turned it on for 1st time and went through the internet set up, account set up etc. Then it said it was loading software and please wait do not turn off.
    I have been sat for over 30 minutes waiting and all I have is a circle going round n round like its loading. Seems an awful long time for it to set up - can anyone advise?

    >I have been sat for over 30 minutes waiting and all I have is a circle going round n round like its loading. Seems an awful long time for it to set up - can anyone advise?
    Well, during the first configuration, the Toshiba image has to be setup and all necessary updates has to be downloaded and installed. This takes time.
    However, it could be possible that the system would not response anymore and in such case you should simply power OFF the notebook and should reboot it again.
    Usually the system would start the configuration from the point of interruption

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

  • I am installing for 1st time apple tv and after software update no reboot

    I am installing Apple TV for 1st time and have done a software update. There is no reboot after the update. I do not want to turn off and on to restart the unit. What should I do?

    If unpowering it and restarting doesn't help I think you'll need to buy a cable
    You could try the 'black display' troubleshooting steps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Specifically I wonder if the AppleTV may be trying to connect with an unsupported resolution giving a black screen.  Try cycling display resolutions using these remote commands in step 6:
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Select button will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

  • IMac keeps crashing for no apparent reason

    Mike,
    I have MS Office for Mac and, lately,  while I'm using Excel some of my spreadsheets at freezing up and crashing.  I just did a report from etresoft, which is below.  Do you see what my issue is?

  • ITunes Match Making My iMac Non-functioning

    Recently when I try to upload a song to iTunes Match - it takes a very long time and stalls the loading of webpages and produces the beachball on iTunes.  If I load multiple songs at a time to iTunes, the wait time and disfunction increases.

    same problem plus my itunes library now has multiple librarycopies (2 to 10) of each tune overloading the machine, as all but one of the copies are dead links ....

  • How to sync iPad with apps for 1st time to iTunes?

    Hi -
    Can't find the answer to this question directly, hence posting it here.
    My nephew's iPad has many apps , and photos, and he has never synced it to iTunes. He want's me to help him. I'm reasonably familiar with both iPad and iTunes.
    However - I'm worried that when he connects to iTunes for the 1st time he will have the iPad wiped clean by the empty iTunes session.
    I have searched high and low but can't find a reassuring set of steps to follow.
    Hence I would be very grateful to anyone who can point to complete, thorough online instructions, or offer them yourself, on what _precisely_ I must do to get his iPad synced to a new iTunes session for the very first time, without loosing the iPad content.
    We need to upgrade the OS badly (its the OS released from the shop purchase).
    thanks, for what is probably a question asked with a thoursand variations.
    Kind regards,
    Kevin Nolan,
    Dublin, Ireland.
    PS: Apple - if you readt this - iTunes and syncing is a very tricky to handle, with potential dire consequences if you do it wrong even once. At a minimum, please offer greater felxibility and more detailed tutorials across various troubleshooting scenarios such as mine

    Thank you both for your time and responses
    roaminggnome - my nephew was 10 when he got it and his family are not particularly computer savy. It didn't occur to them that syncing was such a priority. Thanks for the pointer to Apple feedback - I'll post my suggestion to them (I'm sure they've received it many times before!)
    Demo - that other thread looks absolutley excellent and your detailed instructions there look spot on - thank you.
    Thanks to you both again - genuinely appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Kevin.

  • Connecting for 1st time

    When I connect my 3G nano to the computer for the 1st time do I have to connect to the computer that I will always be using or can I connect to any computer, as I am staying away from home at present, but want to get started!

    You can connect to any computer that has iTunes, however to use the iPod on multiple computers you have to set it to manual update. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Lost my iphone 5 data when backed up for 1st time.

    I lost all of the photos and other data on my I5 when i backed it up for first time. It asked if i wanted to back up from last date which i conformed. the last date was the date i backed up my old I4. Now it has reverted back to that data and everything taken since had I5 has gone. Can i get it back?

    You didn't "back up" your I5, you did a restore, and you chose the old backup from the I4.  Maybe you never did a backup of the I5.
    How to restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • 7610 user about to Sync for 1st time in 2.2: Q?

    Just about to sync a 7610 for the 1st time. Now, I have been using iCal, no a huge deal @ all. But in the Add Book I had a few Q?s.
    Someone one the boards mentioned to *Erase Data* when syncing, and not Merge. I have a few very insignificant entries in my Add Book right now, but they were there for iChat purposes.
    I simply want to start using the Add Book as a way to start to back things up, and try to get a touch more organized, now that 2.2 is out and supports more units.
    My 7610's contacts are like a small plate of spaghetti right now, and the AddBook will help me orgazine it.
    Anyhow, any wisdom is welcomed.
    Thanks.
    H!

    Man.
    forget it.
    May have found my answer - for anyone looking:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303419
    I will merge on 1st sync.

  • Help! iTunes is making my iMac act like a Windows machine!

    Here is the basic problem:
    Some songs will not play properly in iTunes, pausing often and causing the spinning beach ball of death to freeze my iMac for 5 to 10 minutes at a time, sometimes longer. I am also having problems ripping those songs to a CD.
    I am trying to decide if I should uninstall iTunes or simply back everything up and do a clean install of Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    I’m also wondering if simply getting more RAM would solve my woes. I have 2GB, which worked well for years. I have 4GB coming in the mail.
    I have a 2008 iMac. It has about 175GB of free space on its hard drive, about 144 GB in use. With iTunes playing a file and nothing of particular note open, it has just under 1GB of free system memory, or RAM. I have both the latest version of Snow Leopard and iTunes installed. All software is up to date. Except, of course, that I'm not running Lion.
    I have a 45GB in music and 54GB in podcasts in my iTunes library.
    I have corrected my hard drive’s permissions repeatedly but am unaware of any other maintenance I should be doing on my hard drive.
    Here are some observations that may or may not be helpful:
    Songs in the same folder are behaving differently, some consistently playing without a problem, others consistently spinning the beach ball.  For example, five songs off an album will freeze up my iMac but the album’s other songs do not.
    I can, however, duplicate the symptoms with otherwise dependable songs by having more applications open. Nothing major, say Safari, Finder and iTunes. What I don’t get is why some songs would play well and others not when only iTunes is open.
    Having a handful of applications open now sometimes prompts the spinning beach ball of death. This never used to happen, hence the RAM coming in the mail.
    When I check information on the malfunctioning music files, it shows they contain data, but I start getting the beach ball checking  the file’s “sharing & permissions” status in "Get Info."
    Interestingly, I recently had to stop backing up my podcasts in Time Machine because some of them were crashing it. My music files, however, have been backing up fine in Time Machine, so far.
    Also, when I try to copy my music files onto an external drive or my desk top – in anticipation of reinstalling iTunes -- my iMac cites error 36 and stops the process.
    My iMac’s performace problems started to occur before I finally updated to Snow Leopard a few months ago. Indeed, I thought updating would solve them.
    I had been regularly updating iTunes, however, I recall reading somewhere that upgrading to Snow Leopard while having an up-to-date iTunes installed might cause problems.
    There you have it. Any advice or insights would he most welcome.

    Well, I seem to have solved my own problem. Do I get 10 points, I wonder? It appears that my poor iMac was in desperate need of a masssive cleaning. Thanks to other posts here and elsewhere, I found out about Cocktail, a free download -- unless you chip in for the more advanced version. This is a powerful and easy to understand tool. I used it to perk my iMac up to a level I have not seen in a LONG time. The spinning beach ball of death must go play elsewhere.  Among other things, I cleared out all my caches, eliminated a ton of foreign languages and did several repairs, including tracking down and killing a corrupted permission. It also taught me how to tap into my computer's activity logs and gave me other useful insights. GOOD stuff. I did other things not related to Cocktail to free up processing power -- such as turning off file- size view option in Finder -- but Cocktail is what solved this problem. As I type this, I am happily listening to songs that earlier would not play. What a relief. I am now especially looking forward to that new RAM. We'll be blazing fast then, by gum.
