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 ?
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

    Have you tried plugging the Nano into another available USB port or using another USB sync cable?  Does it seem to be freeze when syncing the same track?
    I assume iTunes is up to date (10.7 at the time of this writing).

    Not without either an external monitor and keyboard, or using a hack. If you want to try an hack app, look into:

    I cannot sync my iphone to my itunes account on the computer.  I get the following message: " iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store.  An unknown error occured (-3212).  Make sure our network connection is active and try again."  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Did you find a resolution as I'm having same problem?

  • HT1844 Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

    Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.  They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music.  I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

    Erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

  • Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

    Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
    This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
    And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
    I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • How do u find itunes files on the computer

    how do u find itune files on the computer mine wont load right

    They are there as iTunes can't find the files. I get what you want to say. Try to remember if you had a hard drive or USB Stick containg Music? As removing it would cause iTunes to look for it. On a PC the iTunes apps and stuff are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media

  • Adobe used to be choppy and would finally freeze the computer

    I can't figure out how to update my earlier post so I posted again.  For months Flash would be choppy on both video and audio play.  Recently it would freeze the computer completely and a hard reset was the only answer.  I tried the forums and was directed to the troubleshooting page.  I followed that advice but found it made no difference. And device manager confirmed all drivers were up to date and working properly.  I was going to have to reformat.  As a last resort I did a search for drivers, but identifuying each of the componenets correctly I found to be impossible  Finally one search turned up DriverMax.  I know nothing about them but CNet gave them a favorable review.  I had nothing to lose so I used it.  After updating 7 "newly discovered" drivers, Adobe finally works perfectly.  This is a bit disconcerting as the Troubleshooiting page only tells you to update drivers, and Device Manager tells you they are all up to date.  I won't trust it again.   I recommend you try this site and let us know if you have the same very positive experience I had.  Maybe I am just lucky.  Thanks

    Yes, and it is an impressivem clear and comprehensive interface. Scan once and it produces a list of outdated drivers.  You can download two a day free. It will create a Restore Point, you approve the install, you restart, test and then do the next one.  You have to initiate/approve each step before they are implemented.  Out of 7 drivers installed I only had to roll back one.  I have tried the manufacturers site for updates before but the hardware, software and compatibility issues made it very problematic.  I can't rebuild a transmission either and don't plan to learn how.  And Windows always tells you the drivers are up to date.  I have never had a Windows driver update produce one new driver.  I have tried that properties/update drivers many times over the last 20+ years, and never saw one succeed.
    Anyway, it is worth looking into.  Let us know.

  • Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • HT1848 my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

    my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.  It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done.  The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
    Thanks,

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.
