ITunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications

To continue the title of the thread "iTunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications and warns me of a failed raid 1 array on shutdown, even though it works fine"
Hi, I have this problem where I press the iTunes shortcut and nothing happens. I look a the processes and itunes.exe is running using its normal 34mb of ram (or something like that). After I've done this, if I try to load firefox or IE, they also freeze and won't load.
Then when I goto restart it warns me of iaamonitor notify app. After googling, I leanrt this is something to do with failing raid 1 arrays, but everything is fine.
I am now in vista on the same pc using dual boot, where iTunes is running fine, but since this problem has started I have tried deleteing the itunes stuff from application data in the documents and settings, deleting the my music folder, turning off all services and startup that isnt microsoft in msconfig and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and quicktime. Nothing has worked.
Can anybody help me? I've read so many pages from google that this seems to of happened to a fair few people in the past and I don't want to have to resort to formatting my PC. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you! You guys are the best! It would have taken me awhile to figure that one out! These Support Discussions have helped me out over and over.

  • My Calendar doesn't update with iPhone sync even though it then updates my iPad

    My Calendar on my iMac doesn't update when syncing with iPhone (the most updated device on my Calender), even though it then updates after I sync my iPad? By this I mean it updates the system on my iMac because it then passes it onto my iPad. Help PLEASE??????

    Might help if you stated which App this was.
    In the email iTunes receipt that you receive there is a Report a Problem link with which you can communicate a problem with each purchase to Apple.

  • App Store keeps asking me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though that's what I'm already running

    Every time my app store program automatically checks for updates, it wants me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though I already have -- many times (and the App Store shows this, in the "updates run in the past 30 days" window). In fact I am running iTunes 11.1.3 right now. What's the problem?

    Hi scoolio,
    Right off the top of head, I can think of two places where "check automatically for updates" can be selected or deselected by the user.
    The first is within the Software Update preferences Pane where one can select daily, weekly or monthly or none.
    Myself I never allow my computer to update anything automatically; rather I conservatively choose doing such things manually to keep my my meager Snow Leopard happily purring.
    The second place that I never select auto check for updates is within iTunes itself.
    I don't know about the App Store. I have found that place to be problematic... so I stay away from it unless I absolutely need to update something that I purchased there. BTW, I'm not happy with the way that the App store is evolving. I guess one could say that it is set-up in a planned obsolescence kind of way. Hoops. Jumping. We don't like it.
    Nonetheless, I would check out the 2 checkboxes that I mentioned just for the sake of knowing how they are set. If that doesn't help then you know it could be the current App Store iteration - which I don't have.
    Regards,

  • HT1386 Why is it that even though I've deleted all the songs on my ipod, the songs still show up in gray letters in spite on not being able to hear them..

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

  • A pop up appeared and it doesn't disappeared even though I press the "ok" of the pop up and it doesn't let me do anything else. I can't even turn it off. What can I do?

    This isn't the solution, but I would just let it run out of battery.
    It would turn off on its own then just start charging it again
    Hope this helped

    I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

  • Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
    iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
    I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
    I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

  • ITunes doesn't show Google as option for contact sync

    I'm trying to sync my Google contacts with my 5gen Nano using iTunes 9.0.0.70 on Windows XP (2005 tablet edition, SP3). I'm following the instructions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1245 and http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138744&cbid=-4q5r0l4gj gdw&src=cb&lev=answer
    iTunes doesn't show an option for syncing with Google. When I go to My iPod > Contacts, and enable to "Sync contacts from" checkbox, I just see an option for "Windows address book" and "Microsoft Outlook" but nothing else.
    *How do I get iTunes to show Google as a sync source?*
    I've poked around on the intertubes a bit and seen mention of gconsync.exe. It's present under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin" and executes when I run it (generating a wad of help info).
    TIA

    I guess you missed the part in the instructions where it says "if you have an iPhone or iPod touch". Those instructions won't work with an iPod nano, unless someone here knows a trick or workaround I've not heard of.

  • I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

    I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.  I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC?  Thanks

    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.
