Itunes driving me crazy! - CPU hogging, hanging up -update: problem solved

My itunes (v.7.4.2) seems to have a problem that I can't find a solution to. I play a song...it plays, then uses like 90-100% of the CPU, hanging up at the same time (lots of spinning beachball) while continuing to play the track and getting an "App not responding message". This lasts maybe 3 or 4 minutes and it winds down, "App not responding" message disappears, at which point I can sometimes (not always) do something with it (i.e. play another track, stop, quit, etc) for a minute or so or until I push play again...then a given song will play and it will hang, drive the CPU again. fans turn on...drives me nuts!
this repeats over and over.
I have:
Restarted
Cleared caches, repaired permissions, etc with Cocktail
Deleted the plists and started new
All to no effect.
Other info - I have a huge library on three drives. 100GB or so. worked fine until very recently, though I have no idea what could have catalyzed this behavior. Occurs when external drives are disconnected and playing from internal mp3s.
Yay - I solved the problem myself...Had Albumartthingy installed some time back and it was gumming things up. deleted all of it and now it seems to be running fine. beware of third party apps that interfere with Itunes! thought I'd post this anyway to add to the knowledge base...

New iTunes driving me crazy

I have had my iphone for several years now (4S). I have always had access to all my music whenever I wanted it - UNTIL NOW.
Everytime I'm in my car or want to listen away from home all my music shows that it is in the cloud and must be downloaded (for a FEE) to hear it.
I do not have Itunes match turned on. How can I have all my music on my phone ALWAYS???
Help!

There is no cost to download from iCloud. There may be data use charges from your cell carrier.
Settings > Cellular and turn off iTunes & App stores. This will prevent downlaoding apps/music/movies over cell data.
I do not have Itunes match turned on.
Are you subscribed to iTunes Match?
When you are on wifi, turn it on and download the music.
Tap the cloud icon with down arrow next to Download All or only the songs/albums you want).

Or not using iTunes Match, sycn with your computer.

Pleeeease help!! iTunes driving me crazy! Any suggestions welcome

When iTunes plays any track it freezes the whole computer when it gets to 11s into the track then becomes unfrozen at 24s. Media player doesn't do this so it has to be an iTunes problem. I have downloaded iTunes many times to try and fix/reinstall the software but nothing works. Please help! Any suggestions welcome!!

I had a similar problem when I got my Mac. I had problems with both syncing to iPhone as well as Apple TV. I ended up deleting and reinstalling iTunes (make sure you get all the components, there's a KB out there on it). Then repairing permissions using the Disk Utility (reinstall iTunes after this), apparently that fixes a lot of sins in the Mac world. (The basic problem is permissions, or at least mine was.)
I too was skeptical at first.

PLEASE HELPPPP!!! Itune driving me crazy

I had music in my PC~ and using WinXP Chinese, and whenever I transfer songs from WinXP to OSX and into Itune, all my mp3 ID becomes random codes that is not readable, I figured it was the problem with WinXp MP3 ID tags, so I went to WinXp and changed the songs individually, but still no help, I spent countless hours organize these mp3 ID tags in WinXP and come out to be random codes that is not readable, please HELP~!!!!

There is no doubt a difference in the encodings being used on the two platforms. You may need to individually change the tags while in OS X. Info on Chinese input/editing for this OS can be found here:

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song. It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white. It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

When I download music into Itunes and move songs into playlists, Itunes has twice randomly deleted all recently added songs from the playlists they have been added to. It is driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I download music into Itunes on my PC, every song is transferred into a specific playlist. Twice now when I have opened up Itunes, all the recent songs that have been moved into playlists have been deleted by Itunes. I now have to go back and figure out which songs are missing and re-add them. It is driving me crazy. I have 10,000 songs and now have no idea which ones are missing and which ones have been retained.
Please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi TRuss08,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like songs are missing from iTunes on your PC, and need to be re-added. I know that can be a frustrating situation.
The tips in this article may help the process go a little smoother:

All the best,

my i tunes is skipping like a scratched cd….please help it is driving me crazy...

If no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?
