ITunes 7.7 hangs system on exit

I never had a problem with iTunes until the 7.7 upgrade.
The system hangs when you exit iTunes.
Is there a solution to this?

Hi Danewatson,
I am in the same boat...
I have iPods since the 3rd generation and never had a problem with iTunes until I have upgraded to version 7.7.1.
iTunes hangs on exit and make a very high usage of the CPU. I only can go out using Task Manager.
I already uninstall it, clean registry and re-installed it but no improvement. i tried with an old version of iTunes that I had saved but it did not recognized my library, because it was created with a newer version.
In the beginning I thought it was XP problem but I see that a lot of people is having problems with this 7.7.1 version.
I hope they (Apple) upgrade urgently for a new version, as i think thats the only solution, or somebody around knows about other??

ITunes 10 hangs trying to exit the Store

I just installed iTunes 10 on my system, and it works so far...but for one thing. If I go into the iTunes Store, I can't exit and return to my music listings (or anything else) without iTunes suddenly hanging, prompting me to force-quit. It's so far the only bug I've found, though from what I've read here, there could be many more around the corner.
I haven't tried to login to the store or purchase anything--just having it hang when leaving is bad enough.

I've just discovered what appears to be a way around the hang. It appears to hang only if you enter, and then exit the Store without doing anything first. If you do something--anything really, just clicking on something visible and accessing it does the trick--then you can exit the Store without the hang occurring. I'd rather the problem didn't exist to begin with--suppose there's nothing worth accessing at the time?--but that's something for Apple to work out in the next revision, which I hope would be soon.

ITunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7

iTunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7 on iTunes startup. My current page is the iTunes Store, and I see iTunes start up, and the progress bar on the top line shows "Accessing iTunes Store..." with the stripy progress bar moving for about 10 seconds. Then it stops moving and the whole application hangs, with the Windows 7 spinner telling me to wait. No Windows controls work (I can't close the window or stop the application). At this point, I have to either reboot or use Task Manager to kill iTunes. No amount of waiting works, and uninstall / reinstall iTunes does not resolve the issue.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Video in iTunes Not working/Freezes System

I recently purchased my first video from the iTunes store (3 episodes of Star Trek; Enterprise).
On my main system I get about 10 seconds of playback and then iTunes completely locks my system, forcing me to do a hard reboot. All of my drivers are up to date and this system has more than enough horsepower to play videos (E6600, 3 GB RAM, Nvidia 7950GT 512MB RAM).
I thought the files might be corrupted, so I installed iTunes onto my new HP notebook (again, another multimedia system with that should have more than enough juice).
On the notebook the video hangs but the sound continues, albeit very choppy.
Is iTunes just not ready for Vista?

I answered my own question...
My main system is configured as a dual boot (WinXP 32 and Vista 32).
I keep my XP system very minimal, for troubleshooting.
Sure enough, I install iTunes and it plays the same videos perfectly.
Apple should caveat that iTunes is beta for Vista....

ITunes 7.5 hangs during CD playback - OS X

I posted the below last night. Today while checking for followups, I found that it was under Windows version of iTunes (even though a couple other posters may be referring to OS X as well based on their signature) My comments are for only for Mac.

Re: itunes 7.5 hangs during cd download preview
Posted: Nov 30, 2007 10:46 PM
I am having the same problem on 2 different G5 Dual PPC systems running 7.5. This occurs when playing commercial (redbook) CDs..... during CD playback iTunes stalls after the 2nd song (usually at time marker 0:02). I have no problem playing back any music already in my iTunes library (99% AIFF format). Something is up with this version! Please correct it asap. thanks.

When I searched I missed this thread: Problem Playing CDs in iTunes 7.5 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1225880&tstart=0 which has the solution/fix. Seems to be the "Use Error Correction when reading audio CDs" setting in the Advanced >Importing iTunes preferences. The other solutions deleted plist files which essentially reset the preferences to default which has Use Error Corrections off.
I am listening to a CD now which did not stall at the normal track location.
I have to confirm that a CD does not stall when ripping(import CD) with the Use Error Correction setting ON.

ITunes 11.1 hangs when connecting to iCloud. How can I download 11.0.5?

Arrrrgh! iTunes 11.1 hangs on my system Windows 7 x64 when trying to connect to iCloud. It runs fine if I start it in safe mode (I have no third party plug-ins installed).
How do I download iTunes 11.0.5???? I've been searching on the Internt for the last 1/2 hour and it looks like Apple prevents users from downloading 11.0 once 11.1 (piece of crap) is out. WHY?????????

Hi,
I've been able to resolve the problem of iTunes crashing by emptying the SycServices folder - by following the steps described at the foot of this comment. I've also been able to sync my iPhone contacts with my Address Book ...but I cannot sync my Address Book with Outlook 2011 ... and thus my iPhone linking to Outlook 2011.
I'm aware that 'Sync Services' were depreciated in 10.8 and was hoping that this would be restored in full in v: 10.9.3. I understand that MicroSoft needs Sync Services to be reintroduced into the OS to enable the sync to work again for linking up with Outlook 2011 - which appear to be blank in my Sync Services preferences window as follows ....
I would be mighty grateful for any ideas/solutions on how to resolve this problem. Synching Outlook 2011 with my iPhone was so easy in the past!
Simon
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Re: iTunes ver 11.2.1 hangs when connecting to iPhone

There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked

HT1926 Everytime I try and install iTunes it says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". does anyone know what this means?

I am using my partners computer. He has iTunes on his laptop but when I went to update iTunes, it said "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I therefore deleted iTunes altogether thinking to reinstall the original iTunes and then upgrade it (i,e start from scratch) but to know avail. Is this a problem with my laptop itself? Or a problem with the internet settings?
HELP PLEASE!!

Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you?

Itunes keeps restarting on QUIT!/Exit!!

Everytime I quit iTunes it emediately reopens? Why??
Sometimes takes several Quits to stop it!!!!!!

ARE YOU FOR REAL ?!?
"good answer", passing fault to the user !
i'm FAR FAR AWAY from my computer and i use logmein to access it, and every time i do that iTunes is starting and then not exiting
ALSO, even that i have a iPhone, still, i deactivated WiFi SYNC AND COMPUTER SYNC long ago (i only use iCloud, and moved everything about iPhone sync on my laptop)
furthermore ! iTunes, just like apple update, is started by a windows core service, not (how it should be normal) by an apple installed service, even that apple software always install few services and put things in widows own start up and tasks ... things that i deactivated but still get spammed by apple updates, iTunes, etc.
i guess SPYWARE BEHAVIOUR is somenting normal, right ?
so ! in conclusion be cause i use iTunes on a pc, what Apple want me to do is to uninstall iTunes all toghether !
that is also suggested by the fact that iTunes is CRAWLING on windows, this is the main reason why i posted this ... when starting iTunes, all computer go slow, it takes a lot to itunes to start and so on ... i may not have top hardware but i think quad core with 6G ram and windows 7 x64 is pretty decent

ITunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor

iTunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor. I get this quite often when editing a ringtone and it hangs for 1+ minutes (had it come back after 1 minute once but other times over 5 min and killed iTunes to get control again). This plus the iTunes + songs not letting you make a ringtone (they should have cought that in QA unless they skipped QA on this).
Brian -- just wanting ringtones for my iPhone.

Try this
Go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.

HT1947 Having trouble connecting Remote app to iTunes on Windows 8 system. Cannot see devices in same network. Is this a Windows issue?

I have a Windows 8 system running iTunes 11.0.2.26 with an iPad 3rd gen. running Remote app. All units on the same network and subnet. When I bring up iTunes on the windows system, I cannot see any devices, i.e. my iPad. I can ping all connected devices including the iPad from Windows 8 box. Is this a Win8 issue talking to iTunes? Can't seem to crack this nut...

Thanks for the reply.
When I use Remote Desktop and use the Public IP of the router without the port number (49250), I am able to get into the server. However, when I try to use RDP with the [Public IP]:49250, it will not connect to the 192.168.0.30 workstation.
Right now the router is program to forward port 49250 requests to the 0.30 workstation.
I am going to work on the Inbound/Outbound Firewall settings today and see if this will resolve the issue.

Except for the following possibiblites:
Your bandwidth might be being throttled by your internet provider.
Your internet may have a fault.
Perhaps your Wi-Fi security has been breached by someone nearby.
Perhaps the other services (Grooveshark and Spotify) use a lower bandwith (I don't know).
For numbers 1 & 2, try a speed check to see if your internet connection is as fast as it's supposed to be.
For number 3, change your password to your Wi-Fi.
For number 4, check the Bit Rate of each stream.
On the other hand, if this new information that you added is fact ( it actually occurs if I even listen to music from my iTunes library, not just internet radio ), then perhaps iTunes is at fault and the best fix may be to repair iTunes.
To repair iTunes, download the iTunes installer and when you run it, use the Repair option.

Try disabling the computer's security software during the download and update.
