ITunes always not responding

Everytime I enter to the iTunes, after a sec it not responding... I tried to restart the iTunes and the computer. I tried to "repare", I tried to remove and install again but nothing....can someone help me plz?

excellent. okay, you're not seeing any music in the new account, because there's a completely different set of library files in the new account. (there's also a different set of preference files in the new account which is why it's responding in the new one, but not the old one.)
the next step is to get your old account working properly again. we're going to do that by rebuilding the itunes preference files in the "not responding" account.
quit itunes. log out of the new account and log back into the old account.
Find the following two files, and move them to your desktop:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
... and:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
("<username>" here is the name of the account you're having the preferences problem in.)
You might have to turn on "Show hidden files and folders" to find the preference files. Right-click "My Computer", select "Open", go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View tab. The "Show hidden files and folders" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.
once you've moved those two files to the desktop, launch itunes again. that should rebuild the preference files. (the itunes setup assistant should run again, much like it did after your first ever itunes install.)
does itunes stop that "non-responding" behavior in the old account once you've got fresh preference files in place?

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later AND Your iPhone has never been backed up to this computer AND always Not Responding

    First: I get the message telling me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later."
    Second: In the Summary Tab under Backups, iTunes is telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to my computer - which is not true. It's also telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud. Again, not true. Although my backups are all missing from iTunes, I can see what I think is them in their folder: C:\Users\*your user name here*\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync.
    Third: iTunes is SLOOOOOOOOW. It takes nearly ten minutes - sometimes more - to launch, and when it does, it's constantly not responding. It seems every time I touch something it stops responding.
    Fourth: I've been searching this "help" forum for a solution, and I've seen many other references, yet the only suggestion I've seen from someone from Apple is a reference to a solution that is over 2 years old - and DOESN'T WORK for anyone I can see who's tried it!
    I've tried everything I could think of, and that others have suggested, including:
    Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
    Ensuring I have the latest version of iTunes
    Re-setting sync history
    Renaming my Backup folder at the path above, and letting iTunes create a new one
    Running around the house whilst pulling my hair and yelling obscenities
    None helped. At all.
    Hmmm... Been a devoted Apple/iOS guy for years, but maybe it's time to switch to Android?

    I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
    I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
    Getting there.... I hope!

  • ITunes 8 not responding

    When I open iTunes 8 it looks like it starts "Genius - Gathering information about your library" and it starts downloading something. Then it immediately hangs. The task manager says iTunes is not responding. I cannot make windows vista kill the process. When I reboot, Vista hangs on logout (only when iTunes is hung). I have to do a hard power cycle.
    I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 8 but that didn't help. I've tried letting it go overnight to see if iTunes was just busy, but that didn't help.
    The impact is that I simply can't use iTunes since it's always hung.
    Any advice?

    Well. You bumped your post so I just saw it. You are no longer alone. ; )
    Security software can certainly make itunes hinky!
    You mentioned itunes went back to the default location, not using G: any more. That can happen if itunes doesn't see G: when it starts. Always make sure your G: drive is operational BEFORE starting itunes.
    Better yet, assign it a permanent drive letter of G: in Windows. Windows has a nasty habit of changing drive letters on you depending what you've plugged into USB ports. Your exHD could suddenly become H: and itunes will lose all the music paths.

  • I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

    - Try here:

    - Next try a different computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

  • ITunes is not responding after transferring files to iPod Touch

    I upgraded iTunes to iTunes 8.2.0.23 last week. I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB) running v. 2.2.1. Since upgrading iTunes, after copying new files onto my iPod Touch, both iTunes and the Touch indicate "Syncing in progress" for several minutes after the files have been copied. Eventually, the Touch's screen will stop displaying the syncing message and turn itself off but iTunes stays on "Syncing in progress". I am unable to eject the Touch (although I know I don't have to). In fact iTunes is completely locked up. When I go to the Windows Task Manager, it shows that iTunes is not responding. I end the task there and it closes iTunes. This happens every time I add new files to the Touch.
    I've read in various discussion pages about similar problems occuring but they all involve Version 3.0 Touch's or iPhones. Perhaps this is something particular with iTunes 8.2.0.23. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The issue was, I store my music on my Windows Home Server and had my iTunes library connected to it over the network. When I transferred my music locally to my computer, the issue stopped. So, I guess the answer is, don't sync your iTunes library from a Windows Home Server.

    Help. When i open iTunes the dreaded wheel of doom keeps spinning but itunes wont open or allow me to do anything. When i force quit it shows itunes as "not responding".

    You need a firewire cable (6 pin to 4 pin). These are very cheap online if you Google, or you can find at Radio Shack etc.

  • Overdrive Media Console/iPhone Problem Resolved-"iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status.

    I could not download books from Overdrive Media Console from my iMac desktop. I realized if I turned off iTunes Match in my iphone, it fixed the problem. On your iphone...Go to "Setting", scroll down to "Music" and turn off iTunes Match. i Tunes match is a music subscription service that I had purchased a few weeks ago. I could not figure out when I tried to download audiobooks from Overdrive I got the following message "iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status". Problem solved. I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same problem!

    I'm assuming you are talking about audiobooks and if so, just download all the parts in overdrive media console then locate them in your finder. Go into Itunes and go File > Add new files to Library. Go select all the mp3s and upload them onto your library. Sync your iPhone with it and that is what has worked for me Hope this helps!

    A couple of shots in the dark here.
    Try this, start in safe mode and see if it will go. Power it off, power it on holding the shift key, continue to hold the key till you see a progress BAR, then release and see if it will finish booting. If it does login see if thigs work, then log out and try booting normally. (NOTE that this takes considerably longer,be patient)
    Another thing you can try is powering it up holding the OPTION key and see if the start up manager brings your HD up on the screen, if it does click on that and see.

  • Flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 always not responding in windows7

    I have installed adobe flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 in windows 7, but it is always not responding when I run them. While they are running normally when running on my WindowsXP. I had to reinstall them several times, the result remains the same. Is there any problem in my windows 7 ? can someone help me? thanx.

    Problem is not in your windows 7 OS, since i was working CS4 and now i m working with CS5 in windows 7 only. And i feel more comfort with this new OS. May be you hardware configuration might not be support to new technology like windows 7 and Flash CS5. Beca it is need high hardward configuration
