ITunes 7.7 Not responding

Hi,
I've downloaded iTunes 7.7 today and it will not work at all. It is stuck on 'application not responding'. My iTunes library is located on an iomega external hard drive. To test if this was the reason for the error I ejected the hard drive and iTunes would then start up.
Obviously I want to access my music library on my hard drive, does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks

Okay. I got my iphone 3G delivered yesterday, popped in the SIM and plugged it in to my MBP and up it pops in iTunes no problems at all, registered it okay and synced it okay, put on some music and a video oaky, played around with some settings re-synced it okay. Disconnected it once or twice and reconnected it and synced it okay. Anyway you get the picture, all was well, until I did two things with the iphone disconnected from the laptop. 1st I downloaded an app from the app store with the phone, the one that turns your iPhone into a light saber, yeah I know - but I got several minutes or amusement from it. 2nd, I created 4 ringtones using garageband and some music that I had got from CD then using garagebands share option I sent these 20sec clips to iTunes and they appeared in the ringtone folder.
Okay all okay so far, until I connect my phone again and iTunes won't respond with the iPhone connected. I deleted the iPhone app and the ringtones, it then says that the iPhone is not readable or writeable. At this stage I plug the iPhone into another mac and it pops up straight away in iTunes.
I download iTunes 7.7 again onto the MBP and re-install it, nothing changes. I then back up my music and trash iTunes completely off the MBP and re-install iTunes and BINGO it sees the iPhone no problem, I then spent another hour uploading my music back into iTunes again.
All is working okay now, but I'm at a loss as to explain what caused this in the first place, can anyone shed an light on this one for me.
Many thanks.

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

  • How can I salvage an iPad Mini that will not restart, reset or respond to Recover phase via iTunes and is not responding to any functions and will not access Home? Thanks

    I have an iPad mini that will not respond and is non functional.  It continues to intermittently try to automatically restart, access home page without success.  It will not accept normal charge. I have tried to manually restart, reset and have been unsuccessful.  It will not allow a Recover attempt via iTunes as well.  Do you have any suggestions before I consider a replacement?  Thanks.

    Hello RC MD,
    It seems you are unable to restore your iPad to factory settings, and it is not responding to power. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPad may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Itunes store access causes itunes to be not responding?

    This is pretty strange -- at my home all this works fine -- I select itunes store and I can navigate and select things and even run diagnostics and everything works fine. At my office (where I have network control) when I click on the itunes store, the programs instantly goes into not responding mode and can only be shut down through the task manager. The same thing happens if I run diagnostics -- instantly get the windows message that say this program has performed a fatal error and needs to close. I can restart itunes and I can play music from my library and stream it as well -- I can even go to look at my online account options -- check my balance -- all of which requires a connection, but if I click on the home icon -- the program hangs -- this used to work just fine, but I believe stopped working upon my upgrade to itunes 8.
    If I could identify what itunes is doing when it tries to connect to the store and run diagnostics, perhaps I could check and see if there are any problems in the network issues.

    UPDATE: I authorized the computer -- which itunes confirmed was already authorized, but now the itunes store works -- go figure.

  • ITune 11 hanging/not responding to connect Store

    iTune 11 hanging and not responding at the time of connecting to store. I have tried to reinstall and repair but everytime result is same.

    Try resetting your iPod.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that didn't help, tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    Restart your iPod.  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • ITunes 9.2 Not Responding

    I recently updated my iTunes to 9.2 and iPod Touch to iOS4. Here is a list of instances where iTunes stops responding and freezes:
    - When I "Check For Available Downloads"
    - When I click on TV Shows menu option "Mark As Watched"
    - When I try to "Import" or "Share" library items from one computer to another over my personal network.
    - When I try to sync apps.
    Right after I installed iTunes 9.2 it would freeze as soon as I opened it as it was loading "Genius" results. After I manually stopped it using task manager like 100 time it finally made it through the Genius stuff and stays open and running until I try to do one of these actions. Could someone please help me? I've uninstalled, reinstalled, restored, then reinstalled, ran repair, etc., etc. I am very frustrated at this point and ready to leave Apple altogether.

    Hi BlackNikes
    I had exact same problem, but have now resolved it. If your problem is the same as mine your SyncServices folders have been corrupted while itunes was updated.
    See my post or spyder683 post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6223064?start=60&tstart=0
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.3 and updated itunes to 11.2.0 and then experienced problems with itunes crashing, 11.2.2 didn't resolve the problem. I found iTunes worked fine if all my other devices (iphone, ipad, ipod) were turned off, as soon as I powered any one of them up and itunes detected them over wifi or USB itunes then froze with the dreaded colored ball spinning.
    In Mavericks 10.9.3 the SyncServices folder is not visible going into the normal library/Application support folder, your instructions below took me to a different area in the system, or at least made these folders visible. Following your instructions I was able to locate and delete both SyncService & SyncServices folders and I launched iTunes again while my devices were powered up and the issue has gone. Bliss!!!
    Many Thanks

    Hi Culero,
    The fix of deleting the SyncServices folder is for Mac systems. From your desktop / finder, click the "Go" menu at the top, then "Go to Folder ..." Paste this into the field: ~/Library/Application Support
    The SyncServices folder should be in there. I had both a SyncService and a SyncServices folder. The second one should, when deleted, help with the problem you and I both had of iTunes freezing when an iOS device is plugged in.
    Hope this helps

  • Itunes and Iphoto not responding after uploading new software

    Hi
    Afew days ago I did the Apple Software Update and since then I haven't been able to get onto my Itunes or Iphoto, both of which I use quite often. Itunes just doesn't load at all and Iphoto starts to open the page but then doesn't respond at all. I am just wondering why this is happening and whether it's happened to anyone else at all? Ideally I'd like to get rid of this new update but don't know how to go about it. I'm a bit of a computer dunce so if you could offer any solution in a straightforward way I would be so grateful. Thanks!
