ITunes 7 constantly freezes.

I have recently DLed iTunes 7 onto my PC. Since then, the program constantly freezes and un-freezes, causing interruptions in playback sometimes as long as 10-15 seconds. The music simply stops playing, and the time-elapsed window freezes as well, then starts again, with no discernable pattern.
I have tried restarting my machine, and I have reinstalled iTunes 7 with no improvement.
I did not have this problem with version 6.

I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.

Itunes constantly freezing and not allowing me to sign out

i'm on windows7. I recently updated itunes to a later version an i have been hassling with freezing "not responding" ever since. I have also linked my itunes to my old Account whih was set up while i was in a different country. I have been trying to create a new account linked with my new location, but Itunes keeps freezing whenever i try to sign out of my existing account. any idea on what would be causing this and how can i sort it out?

Hi,
I think you'll have to reinstall iTunes completely. First, to delete iTunes completely, use an app such as AppCleaner. Then, install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

ITunes constantly freezing

For about a month now, every time I am playing music in the background on iTunes and using the internet, my computer freezes up. If i quickly Alt-F4 out of the tab, it will resume as normal, but if I don't, the speakers buzz loudly and eventually the computer freezes up completely. This only happens when i'm playing music with iTunes. Oddly enough, I can easily play games and listen to music at the same time, but while on the internet, it will always freeze. I've updated iTunes, and even re-installed it, but the problem stays. Any suggestions or explanations as to why iTunes keeps freezing?

Hello danpcas,

ITunes Constantly Freezes

I recently re-downloaded iTunes after reinstalling my computer's OS. I have everything up to date, including iTunes, Quicktime, and my OS (Windows XP Service Pack 3).
When I start iTunes, it works fine for a few seconds and typically freezes after about 10 seconds or randomly after clicking something or just even rolling my mouse over something. This occurs about every 15 seconds, and will stay frozen for up to 5 minutes at times. I have tried multiple solutions from Apple's support site, none of which have helped.
This is preventing me from properly downloading lost music and applications as well as updating my iPod Touch. My iPod Touch is now completely unfunctional because iTunes keeps freezing when installing the new 2.2 update. When I turn on the iPod Touch, it only shows the screen of the USB plug pointing at the iTunes logo.
Anyone else experiencing this? If so, please give me a working solution. This is really annoying me and has occured every time I've used iTunes in the past.

Sorry, but if this is a software issue I cannot help you very much. I would just try to uninstall and reinstall the apple software, such as quicktime and Itunes, which you apparently just did after reinstalling your OS.
You hint that you have had the Problem even before you reinstalled your OS, that was what made me believe it could be a hardware issue.
Please bear in mind that other Programs, such like your Browser or Word MAY not have so much trouble with a little defect Ram. Usually those Errors show in Software like Computergames that have a lot of Ram usage and result in Program crashs or freezes.

ITunes constantly freezes when opening, no error message

Please help!
ITunes has been working fine. One day I opened it and it got stuck on the default of opening up the music store. The only way I can get out of it is CtlAltDel.
There is no error message.
I have installed & re-installed it numerous times even with the windows tools to remove old files.
Someone please help. I cannot use ITunes at all!

replying to lunagoddess77
the scroll bars don't even come up.
okay. that symptom is often associated with a damaged QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly (without freezing) now?

ITunes CONSTANTLY freezing the computer

For about a week now iTunes just won't stop freezing my computer. Anything I do (listen to a song, download a song or update my iPhone/iPod), it will freeze. The computer starts making noises and eventually i have to shut off the computer and restart because it stops responding.
I've looked through all of the support procedures for things that are related to this and right now I have an empty iTunes library, and just when I thought it was fixed, I go to copy my information back into iTunes and it freezes again.
Please help! My iPhone has all my information on it, and I can no longer put any new things on it because of this.

mangofreee,
Have you tried the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 ?

Itunes constantly freezes upon startup

so whenever i open itunes it immediatly freezes. ive tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. is it possible that im not un-installing everything which is why the problem persists? any help would be appreciated

See if it will open with a new blank library.
Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes. Choose new library. Name it something like Test so you can find it easy later to delete it.

ITunes U video playback constantly freezes

I have 64Gb iphone 4S with plenty of free space. iTunes U video (a Yale course in this case) constantly freezes during playback. The video is downloaded onto the iphone, not streamed. I do not have this problem playing the video through the video app. I would like to be able to use the iTunes U app. Anyone else having this problem?

Try updating to the new iTunes U app that was released today.
If that doesn't work, try testing other Yale course videos and other iTunes U videos.

Mac Book pro Retina (15 inch early 2013) is constantly freezing.

Problem description:
My Mac is constantly freezing, for (how it looks like) no good reason. Sometimes it occurs when I load League of Legends, sometimes it does not, also it just froze when I opened Iphoto, so I am not sure why this happens. So when I shut the Mac down, which is, or so it seems the only thing I can do, at the time of the freeze, it tells me, I have a graphic problem, but I am never able to see the report. Yea this is my problem right now with the mac, thanks for reading.

IPod Touch 3rd Gen 32GB Constantly Freezing

I've had my 32gb 3rd Gen ipod touch since Nov 2009 and for about five months now it's constantly freezing up.
It's random when it does it and will freeze up regardless of software updates or resets.
I'm running 4.3.5 and have wiped it clean numerous times using itunes but it still does it.
We have an iphone and ipod classic and have never had a problem with either of those.
Can anyone assist?
I was thinking of taking back to apple via a store but other than charge the repair cost of £110.00 I've seen on the apple UK website what else could they do?
Many thanks,
Will

That what I fear, but as it started just out of the twelve month warranty and has become steadily worse until it's been practically unusable for the last three months it leaves a very bitter taste.
Only because I'm used to doing it I'm resetting back to factory settings as I type.
Thanks for your input.

IPhone Constantly Freezing + Seemingly Corrupt Backups. HELP!!!!!!

My iPhone is constantly freezing, and when I restore it to factory settings, it asks me to either set it up as a new iPhone or restore it from a backup, i want to restore from a backup (I hap a first gen iPhone), but one of the backup options says its corrupt, and the other ones, when i do it, puts my iPhone back in the same constantly freezing state. Also, when its working and i use the map application, when I press the locate me button, the little thing just spins and that's all it does. Doesn't ever locate me.
Also: it freezes up itunes and does still freeze up after being restored but before setting up.

Hiya,
Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps.
Unless you have some major customized settings, I would attempt to start over with your iPhone. If your backups appear to be corrupted, I don't know of a way to recover them. Do you still have your original iPhone? If you do you can run another backup to see if that helps.
As far as location services, make sure you have a full signal bar, and go outside if possible. My office building is a signal trap and it will spin for days if I try to use it indoors.
Good luck!

Constantly freezing

My video iPod is constantly freezing now. It gets a distorted screen image, and then freezes. This happens when listening to music, playing games, or just navigating the iPod. Resetting the iPod gets it to work for a few minutes, but it then freezes again. I've also restored the iPod twice, and still experience the same problems. Can anyone out there direct me in how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!!

Hey Ben Frith,
Here's a couple of things to try:
================================
Try restoring your iPod. For more info, see here -> Restoring your iPod
If that doesn't work, then do you have iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1? If you don't have 7.0.1, then download it here, and now try restoring your iPod again.
Try going back to iTunes 6:
1 - Eject/disconnect your iPod.
2 - Save your iTunes library, by either making a backup on DVD, or saving the current location of your library on your computer to a different location.
3 - In Control Panel, go to "Add or Remove Programs". Remove "iTunes".
4 - Now, go here to download iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple.com.
5 - Now, restore your iPod.
Have you tried reinstalling your iPod's firmware? Follow the instructions here -> iPod could not update because the firmware file was corrupt and unreadable
See if that does anything.
-Kylene
If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!
