Itunes always freezing

Itunes seems to always freeze when I edit stuff on my Ipod. (eg sync manually. I click apply and it freezes) When I plug in my ipod it syncs endlessly and just won't work. I have the Ipod Touch.

same thing happens to me. I use a shuffle and i-tunes only seems to open when it wants to.

Itunes always freezes on start up

itunes freezes on startup for some reason now,
can somebody help?
hp pavilion 514c Windows XP

okay, we're going to check to see whether or not this is associated with a preference files problem in your current XP user account. (note that this is not a cure, it's a diagnostic procedure. if we get the right results we'll try for a cure.)
let's try an experiment.
head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
now log out of the old account and log into the new account.
does itunes launch properly (without freezing) from inside the new account?

Why does my iTunes always freeze when a device is connected?

I am running the latest OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Every time I try and connect a device to iTunes the colour wheel appears and iTunes freezes. This has happened on an iPhone 5, an iPod Touch and an iPad Mini. This problem only occurred after updating to the Yosemite OS X and iTunes 12. Prior to then everything was working fine. I was hoping the latest updates to both would have sorted out my issue but they didn't.

Howdy SheppBoy,
If you are having an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when you connect a device, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

ITunes always freezes while syncing iPod Classic

I bought an ipod classic off of ebay last week, and syncing it with itunes on my old windows xp laptop has been such a pain. Every time I go to sync, I'll get 1500-2000 songs in, before the syncing screen on my ipod switches to "connected: eject before disconnecting" and itunes freezes. I've tried everything: syncing all at once, one album at a time, in playlists, but nothing works. At first I thought the hard drive must be fried but a scan in windows tells me it's fine and the amount of reallocs it has (303) has remained steady. Please, can anyone help me? I'm desperate.
Thank you.

I have same problem since 2 months ago

ITunes always freezes. help?

I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and whenever I try to go to a genius playlist or go to the iTunes store, iTunes quits unexpectedly. Before I had this new version, it ran fine. I tried re-installing it, but that didn't work. what do I do?

Hello kodishj and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Whenever you update software, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Quit all open applications. Launch Disk Utility, (it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. With DU open, select Macintosh HD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished Quit Disk Utility. Launch iTunes and see it if quits on you.
If it does... try this. Locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist It's here:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. From the Preferences folder, drag that file to your Desktop. Launch iTunes. If it doesn't quit, drag that file back to the Preferences folder, if when you try to launch it and it quits, drag that file to the Trash, and empty the Trash. Reboot your Mac and then try iTunes again.
If none of the above helps... go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1852

Purchased movie sync-back to iTunes causes Freeze

iTunes consistently freezes while transferring a purchased movie from the Apple TV to the iTunes Library during a sync. iTunes always freezes at the same point in the transfer, and is 100% repeatable. In fact, I have not been able to to use iTunes since making this movie purchase on the Apple TV.

The transfer consistantly fails about 25% completion. Not sure of the exact %, but the bar always stops at the same position.
There is no failure message. iTunes begins to consume 100% CPU utilization, and must be force quit. It is unresponsive.
This was the first purchase made since upgrading to v2.3.
I have restarted both my MacBook, and the Apple TV with no change in results.
I am unable to use iTunes because it freezes (see above) as soon as it finds the Apple TV on the network and begins to transfer the purchased movies to the iTunes Library.

Loathe iTunes...always freezing!

I absolutely hate iTunes! I've never been able to smoothly run the darn program, EVER! It always freezes on the first try, and it takes at least 3 tries to get it going without freezing and sometimes still doesn't recognize my iPod is even connected. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/updating/starting without iPod connected, etc, etc...
I have no problems with any other programs, my PC is rather new (Windows 7, up to date).
I try to use other media programs when I can (MusicBee, WMP, etc), because iTunes is so frustrating. Really, they need to think of a better way to do this, scrap the whole program altogether and start over. And make it more user friendly while they're at it, because iTunes is anything BUT.
Until they start listening to their users and we're all forced to endure this crap program, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it at least stop freezing up????

same thing happens to me. I use a shuffle and i-tunes only seems to open when it wants to.

MacBook Pro, always freezing! Help!

Hey, so I need help.
My MacBook Pro always freezes but not totally freezes, like, you can move the cursor around and everything but you can't click on anything. It has this color wheel something and it is reaaally driving me crazy.
I've had this macbook for about 2 years now and this is not the first time it happened. It happened like months ago, and then I thought maybe I should reformat it because it was sooo slow and terrible. Back then, my macbook is worthless because it takes half an hour to open and then when I type in my password, it begins to freeze. It takes like 20 minutes to unfreeze and then when I click on anything it freezes again. It even freezes when I'm doing simple tasks like typing, opening a folder, backspacing, dragging icons, etc. I can't even open an internet browser or an application! So I took my macbook to a professional and then he said that I should reformat my macbook, and so I did.
I was happy because everything was back to normal but a week later, it slowed down. I didn't mind it though because I can still use it and everything. But it came to this point again where simple tasks take a 2-minute freeze first! It's really driving me crazy and I don't want to make it worse. I need to know what was really the problem behind this!
I tried uninstalling a few applications including chrome. Right now I'm using Safari because I was told it uses less memory than Chrome. Nothing happened. It still freezes, I can't even research properly because everytime I use it, it freezes!
Please help! I'm not a computer expert so I need all the help I can get. I don't want to spend a lot of money again on professionals!

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am un to date on the OS also.

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.

No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

ITunes Always Showing iPhone as syncing

My itunes is constantly trying to sync with my iphone and always shows it as connected despite my phone not being connected. This results in error message after error message and itunes often freezing. Is anyone else seeing this same thing? I would show you a screenshot of itunes but it would just look like my phone is plugged in.
I have 10.6.1.7 installed right now and have no idea how to remedy this. I've even gone and uninstalled itunes twice with no luck. Could it be an iphone problem? It doesn't do it with my wife's phone or to either of our ipads. Any help would be appreciated.

You using MAC or PC? Try a different USB cable or USB port

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?
