ITunes and other applications "not responding" after impoting CD's

Hi....After I import songs from a my CD collection into into my iTunes (version 7.02) library, many applications, including iTunes, freeze up and are "not responding", and I'm forced to CTRL-ALT-DEL to "end task" on the unresponsive applications. For example, if I have my AOL browser running, I can no longer open new web pages after importing a CD on iTunes. Also, after closing the applications (via CTRL-ALT-DEL), nothing happens when I double click on them again to reopen the programs (again, including itunes itself). To be able to run the programs again I have to either restart the computer or log off my user ID and log back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I am having similar problem. After I imported songs
from CD and exit itunes, I try to log off and my
computer freezes up. It doesn't log off, screen goes
black. I can't do anything, not even ctr-alt-del. I
have to push button to power off. Does anyone know
whats going on? Help
Ok, I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this fix before posting my initial question, as any sane Windows user should know to try this troubleshoot early on for many Windows problems: Running the disk defragmenter solved the problem of my PC feezing after I imported a CD into iTunes. Katikat..I'm not sure how close your issue is to the problem I was having, but I suugest trying it if you haven't already. If you've never run the disk defrag it's easy: START -- All Programs -- Accessories -- System Tools -- Disk Defragmenter, then choose your hard drive(s). Depending on how much stuff is on your hard drive and how long it's been since you last defrag, this can take anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour. Not sure if this will help with your problem, but worth a try. Best of luck. Piachet

    Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

  • Drag and Drop - Application not responding

    Hello,
    I have a problem regarding Drag and Drop in Mavericks (but probably all versions):
    This is especially concerning Drag and Drop from Mail or Microsoft Outlook to another application (in this case a Java Application).
    I know that it's only possible to drag mails to the desktop, where they are saved as an eml file.
    My idea was to use the Drag and Drop mechanism as a trigger for calling an Apple Script (out of my Java Application) which saves the selected mail(s) as eml, for my application later picking them up in an defined folder. Basically this works just fine BUT Mail as well as Outlook does not respond to the tell statement of my Apple Script until the dragged mail snaps back to the source application after about 20 seconds. While the Apple Script waits for the mail application to respond, both applications (mail application as well as my own application) show "Application not responding" in dock.
    Does anybody have an idea how I can get the mail applications get to respond earlier? Probably a second instance, killing of the drag/drop event or anything else?
    Regards
    Benjamin

  • BC4j/JSP Application not responding after some time - when deployed on 9ias

    Hi,
    We are using BC4j/jsp application on 9ias. The application is not responding
    after some time. We have installed 9ias on PIII(384MB RAM). We tried to accesses
    with 10 users, and server is not responding to BC4J/JSP application.
    However the server could able to publish the JSP pages with standerad JDBC code even after that.
    many many thanks in advance
    null

    When the application deployed by BC4J/JSP not responding, does the sample JSP application still works? i.e. does any other application respond? Does 1 user respond? Is the database source (JDBC), running Oracle 8.1.7? What is the platform running the database (e.g. local NT database)?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Is there any mechanism that cleans up these connections (back down to the initial or some other minimum I would guess) or do they hang around until either the app server or database shuts down?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    There is currently no mechanism for reducing the connection pool size after a period of high activity. Recently this has been frequently requested and as such will be implemented in the next production release.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>We have verified this in manual testing. However, when the load tool script exits it doesn't seem to release resources. We know this because we keep seeing our database connections go up and up as more tests are run. Further, we also seem to see more than one connection per "virtual user". For example, when I connect 5 users to the app in manual testing, I get 5 connections. But, when we run a test using the tool, we get 395 database sessions for 200 users. We are having a bit of difficulty understanding why the behavior is different.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Assuming that the you are performing your manual testing against the same instance of the application on which you are performing your load testing, I would assume that the connections are being released to the pool at the end of the request. One possible reason for the approximate 2:1 ratio between connections and virtual users may be BC4J's use of internal connections. What version of BC4J are you using?
    BC4J requires an internal connection to support state management and spill to disk. The internal connections are pooled with the transaction connection and only held for the duration of the persistence operation. However, if the web server is very busy then a large number of synchronous persistence requests may be received which would explain the eventual 2:1 ratio in the pool's high water mark.
    If the user start times and think times are staggered in order to reduce the incidence of synchronous persistence requests does the ratio of connections to web sessions stabilize at some lower number (i.e. 1.5:1)

  • HP Utility 'Application Not Responding' after downloading Apple update

    Trying to setup a brand new HP Officejet Premium 6700 with a brand new Air (OSX Mavericks v10.9.3).  Was having issues with the supplied printer software and the wireless print capability so uninstalled that and added the software via an Apple Software Update.  I can now print wirelessly however every time I try to open the HP Utility (via Printers & Scanners) I receive a message of 'Application Not Responding'. 
    Have subsequently tried to access HP Utility via the printer USB and am having the same issue.
    I can't get the scanner to connect to the computer without the Utility.  Any suggestions?  I have literally uninstalled and reinstalled every variation of software for HP Officejet 6700 that I can find.  Getting very frustrated.
    Notably I did have the computer connected to the scanner via wireless but lost the ability when I ran the OSX upgrade to 10.9.3.  The printer still references the computer when I click on Scanner/ Computer on the printer itself, but when I try to select the computer it says the computer isn't available.
    Hoping someone has a good suggestion!

    I think there's a good possibility there are "mis-matched" driver files.
    I would:
    delete the HP folder from Library/Printers (you may have to use Go menu > go to folder to see it).
    Get/install the latest HP driver (hopefully includes utility) from:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Reset the Printing System.

    Re-Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • Applications not responding after Mavericks upgrade

    Just upgraded an IMac-2009 of a friend from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and faced Mail & Contacts not responding (spinning ball).
    May be there coud be addtl applications not responding but i only checked the major ones and those 2 causes problems.
    I just asked him to re-install OS-X (01:40) and i will see (am living far from him)
    I have also read a lot of communities questions and have some lines of thinking like preferences & permissions.
    2 questions :
    1) Some ideas to help me
    2) is there a way to manage his IMac from home (I have a MacBookPro using Mavericks)
    Thank you in advance
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for everything you provided to me : it helped me a lot.
    The last status is (for info)
    - i decided to re-install Mavericks (for the 3rd time !!!) as the upgrade was so badly installed and i was surprised to see that this time, the re-installation shows "complements modules to re-install" (translated from french) with a schedule of 01:02 (against 01:40 before)
    - and apparently my friend called me later to say : everything is working fine. He recovered all applications.
    Strange but I am happy by now.
    Thank you again

  • HELP! Finder and other applications keep crashing after application install

    Okay, this was probably not a good idea considering I did not read that it was only for snow leopard... but I downloaded the Metalik theme from Julien Sagot's webpage (http://juliensagot.com/). Now, when I logged out and logged back into my account, I see that Finder keeps quitting and relaunching itself. Safari and other applications do the same thing. I cannot open any files or webpages!! (I am writing this on my other computer, haha)
    What is happening!? How can I fix this and return my computer to normal?

    Boot the machine into safe mode, holding down the Shift key. If that's successful, delete the nonsensical stuff you installed and try a normal boot.

  • ITunes 11.1 – application not responding

    I run iTunes 24/7 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011 - 16 gig RAM, SSD, upgraded video, etc.)
    Since I upgraded iTunes to 11.1 (for iTunes Radio, etc), every day I get iTunes freezups.
    iTunes runs fine for hours but after a period of time, it locks-up and I have to force quit.
    This can happen if music is playing or not.
    I don't have any iDevices attached to my Mac and running the latest Mac OS and my families iPhones (4) and iPads are on iOS7.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    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 System Preferences not responding since upgrade

    Since Ive upgraded to 10.7 my MacBook Pro has slowed down (SpotLight is reporting indexing finished).  iTunes and a host of programs report not responding and after 1-2 mins fire into life then report not responding.
    I've noticed that the UserEventAgent and loginwindow processes are taking up lots of RAM and I keep getting the error:
    kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
    Also, at one stage the machine rebooted on its own and reset all values back to default.....
    Any one else seeing these issues?

    Got around the problem.....  Had to re-install Lion via the recovery console (3 hours!!!!!).  Is Lion about to become another VISTA!

  • Application not responding after trying to open event

    Hi,
    I just updated to Final Cut 10.1.3
    I was working on a project in final cut and my computer crashed. When I restarted my computer and Final Cut, it seemed ok. It opens on the project I was working on before the one I was working on when it crashed. When I go to scroll up in the event, towards where the most recent projects are, eventually I get the spinning rainbow of death and then final cut stops responding. I have forced quit and restarted it but the same thing keeps happening. When I open other earlier projects in the same event, they seem to open and work fine.
    I tried 'Update Projects and Events' but when I click 'update all' it says that it can't find anything to update.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Cat

    I am working on a project in FCP 10.1.4 and every now and then, usually after making an edit, FCP starts to reload projects and then hangs when trying to load one of them (not always the same one).
