Itunes 7.5 spinner at start-up

I'm seeing the spinner when I first start itunes 7.5
it lasts several seconds, but does eventually go away
it's very annoying.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Needless to say this way not a problem with previous versions.

Yes we have ideas. You might want to look at the following thread (in this forum) and read through it.

  • ITunes and QuickTime won't start

    Hi!
    The problem is that I've installed iTunes, everything went fine, but when I'm trying to start it with iTunes.exe, it won't start.
    I can see iTunes.exe in the task manager, for about 5 seconds, and then it disappears.
    The same happens with QuickTime player(I don't really care about QuickTime but I thought it can help solving the problem).
    I know there is a lot of topics about this on the internet, and yes I've googled it, but nothing solved my problem.
    I tried a lot of things already:
    * start iTunes.exe with administrator rights
    * start iTunes.exe with XP and Vista compatibility modes
    * reinstall iTunes with XP and Vista compatibility modes
    * uninstall iTunes (and any other apple software), clean any leftover iTunes registry entry, and then reinstall everything again
    * boot my windows 7 in safe boot mode, and try to start iTunes.exe
    * turn off bonjour service then restart computer and try to start iTunes
    * create a new user account, login and try to start iTunes
    Nothing helped on Windows 7 32bit, though I have a Windows XP installed as a Virtualbox guest(the host OS is linux), and there is everything works fine, but I would like to use Windows 7.
    I had the same problem with the previous version of iTunes. Now I'm trying to install the latest iTunes downloaded from the Apple's site.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions!
    Regards,
    Ferenc Nagy
    p.s.: Sorry for my english, I hope you can understand me!

    Many thanks. Yes, let's first try uninstalling the ACE pack and seeing if iTunes will launch now.
    If iTunes doesn't launch, the pack may have left behind old QuickTime version 6.x componentry in unorthodox locations in your Windows 7 system files. So we'll go looking for that.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. From the Start menu, click Computer.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes and Quicktime hanging on start up after Quicktime v7 update

    Heya,
    After updating my OS from 10.3.4 to 10.3.8 then 10.3.9 and installing Quicktime v7 iTunes and Quicktime hung on start up. Neither load. All i wanted was to get ready for adding video to my iPod and now nothing loads at all! Any Ideas??
    Thanks

    Same exact problem here. Obviously this is not our computers, it's a bug in the new release of itunes and/or quicktime.

  • Possible bug in iTunes 8 adding folders that start with '..'

    So I discovered tonight when trying to load tracks into iTunes from a folder that started with '...' (specifically, '...andjustice_forall'). iTunes did nothing. No reaction whatsoever. If I try to load the mp3s in that folder directly, they load fine, but it ignores the whole folder if I try to add it to the library.
    I tried to replicate the issue with another folder that also started with '...' ('...andyou_will_know_us_by_the_trail_ofdead'). Has anyone else observed this behaviour? I have a feeling if it's in iTunes 8, it's been around for a while. I'm guessing it's treating the first dot as an indication that the file's a hidden file, and then ignoring the rest of the name.
    Can anyone else replicate this? I was loading files from an SMB share served by a Linux host.
    cheers,
    Klaus

    I just sent feedback as suggested, hope this helps. What bothers me is that these songs were visible in previous versions of ITunes. I'd actually feel better if there were a setting I just missed that would explain the weird behavior.
    Looking through support topics, I specifically did a search using ".38 Special" and found an article concerning the order in which Itunes displays artists, with .38 Special being at the top of the list in the example... so that also tells me that it SHOULD be showing them. sigh

  • My iTunes keeps opening arbitrarily and starts playing.  How do I stop that?

    My iTunes keeps opening arbitrarily and starts playing.  How do I stop that?

    You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

  • ITunes sync is failing to start.

    iTunes sync is failing to start. Everything is updated, my device is recognized, it just won't start. I got it to work earlier, but some of my music still wouldn't copy over. Now it won't start. Any ideas?

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy and don't want to edit it. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" or "My Computer"; i'm not sure which search will pop up your itunes files. Try them both. And then type in the "all or part of the file name" box, itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search, use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've already restarted your computer once (according, to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Good luck and ask me anything if you have some questions!!"
    Let me know if it works or not. Again, good luck!
    Remember, this is just a suggestion, it's up to you if you want to do it or not.

  • "waiting" in itunes. the download does not start.

    I have bought and paid for movies in itunes. Now is it just "waiting" in itunes. the download does not start. what do I do?

    re: quantization.
    Logic can do a "soft" quantize as it's recording, by soft I mean playback MIDI data is quantized for both audio and visuals (piano roll), but if you turn quantize off you will see your notes as you played them.
    Select a MIDI track, softsynth or external, in the upper left corner of the Inspector is a Quantize value. Click and hold to see what's available.
    While you're there, make sure the Delay value is set to zero.
    Also make sure that Preferences/Audio  "Recording Delay" is set to zero.
    And last, (very important.)
    Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the  com.apple.logic10.plist  file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
    then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    Make sure and remove both files.

  • I want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?

    i want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?

    Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
    If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
    You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.
