ITunes eating up memory and disabling network in win7

Hello everyone.
Im a new user of the iPod Touch 1G (gf gift). Thing is, i just installed iTunes, and when syncing my iPod, iTunes seems to simply eat up all memory available (2gB RAM) until all computer gets to a standstill. I cant even restart.
Any ideas?
Thank in advance....

I have the same issue, and happens everyday and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.

I recently upgraded itunes. now i get the error message that itunes can't connect and the network connection has timed out

i keep getting an error message that states
itunes could not connect to the store. the network connection has timed out.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if you are then able to access the iTunes store.

Update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 disables network adapter

I am having a very difficult time trying to update to iTunes version 10.6.3.25 on 32-bit Vista Home Premium. The installer completes successfully, but about 2/3 of the way into the install (I am assuming when the Apple network adpaters are installed), I lose my internet connection. It doesn't matter if I am WiFi or if I am plugged into ethernet. Not a problem, except that I can't re-establish it after the install is complete.
My initial update attempt was done using the Apple software updater. However, that install crashed. I removed iTunes completely and now have been using the installer program from the iTunes website. I have downloaded the installer multiple times, each time with the same result.
The real PITA is that a simple uninstall won't restore the network adapter performance. I have to use a restore point to get back to where I can connect to the internet.
Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?

I'd try the install again, and then apply TG10987's instructions from the following post:

ITunes eating 100% cpu and reopening soulution

My iTunes made almost unusable my mac, and when I closed it, it always reopened. I havent noticed the RimAlbumDaemon, cause it hasn't took too many cpu time, but IT was the reason of iTunes's behavior.
I deleted every BalckBerry related software from my mac (don't miss the Library/Application Support folder!)

Update/Installation of itunes 10 disables network card

Installation of latest itunes version (10) results in disabling my network card. The only way I've been able to restore is a system restore. I own 3 ipods and am totally frustrated with support structure. I have tried the following with no success.
Uninstall all Apple software as per a support article. 1) itunes 2)Quicktie 3) Apple Soft Upd 4) Mobile Dev Sup 5) Bonjour 6) Apple Applic Supp. Followed by a manual cleanup of the associated program files director and system32 directories.
I finally located a version 9.1 download but get msg that later version is installed. I followed another support tip for renaming library. Tried with several previous library files and could not find one that would allow install to continue.
Does anyone have ideas? Please, please, please.

I am having the same problem here, and am EXTREMELY frustrated... I was so excited to download the new iPad OS. Argh, I hate iTunes. Have you found a solution? Okay so here are my details:
I'm operating a homemade PC on a FoxCon Motherboard, with a RealTek built in wired LAN port.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I first tried upgraded from within iTunes. needed to a computer restore to get network back up and running. Tested all the hardware first to ensure it wasn't hardware.
After retoring, iTunes was broke. I downloaded from the web and tried to install. iTunes was still broke, and the network died again.
Needed to do a system restore again.
Completely uninstalled iTunes from the system. Ran Windows Update to ensure I had all of the updated drivers.
Redownloaded and installed iTunes 10.1 again, and once again, it broken the network connection.
I downloaded the motherboard and LAN port drivers from their website on another machine, and installed them via a USB port on the machine with iTunes. No change.
I uninstalled iTunes again.
Called support
They had me setup a new user on the computer, then uninstall Bonjour, 2 Apple software (Mobile and serice), and Quicktime and restart the computer. When the computer came back on I logged in as the new user and the network was again broke.
Did system restore back to after I did the windows update earlier today.
He had me uninstall the apple services again, and then setup the new user. By the time I got to this point the network was down again.
He asked me to a restart, no fix.
He transfered me to a senior support person who didn't have any other ideas.
I tried using the iTunes installation file I saved from before to reinstall now that everything was off, hoping it might reset the network, it did not.
I've restored the system again back to the Windows Update earlier today and am very unsatisfyingly giving up and waiting for Apple's Support Engineers to get back to me in a few days. If anyone knows of any other solutions, my iPad will thank you after it gets updated.

Why is Dashboard using up tons of memory and freezing my computer?

I was having this problem on my early 2012 Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and now it is happening on my refurbished late 2013 iMac. I did some research into this and some people were saying that if you run weather apps or similar on Dashboard which constantly update data, it can cause Dashboard to start eating up all your memory. So I ended up disabling Dashboard completely on my Macbook Pro and haven't had any similar issues on that machine. But my iMac has 24 GB of RAM and I'd really like to keep Dashboard running because I like to use it to check the weather or my calendar or use the calculator. Is this a glitch with Mavericks? Has anyone reported this on Yosemite? It's happening more frequently and unless I have Activity Monitor open where I can forcibly quit Dashboard, all my programs start locking up and the whole system becomes unusable and I have to force reset it. You'd think Apple would have fixed this by now. At first I thought it was an issue with my Macbook Pro, but now that I'm seeing the same problems on my blazing fast iMac, I think this is a Mavericks glitch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Running OSX 10.9.5 on a late 2013 iMac with 24 GB of RAM, 3.5 Ghz i7 processor, and 4GB Geforce GTX 780 card.

So it looks like the removal of the .plist file didn't fix the problem. I am starting to notice a potential correlation though. I've been keeping Activity Monitor open to check the status of Dashboard to try and catch it before it overloads the memory. It seems that the issue arises generally when the CPU is undertaking an intensive task. Recently I caught Dashboard overloading the memory while I was doing some intensive video compression. The iMac's internal fans started whirring so I went into Activity Monitor initially to see how much memory the compression software was using up. That's when I saw Dashboard starting to eat away memory, and it kept increasing more and more. The compression software was only using about a gig of memory (though a fairly high % of the CPU) while Dashboard steadily increased to 4, 5, 6 gigs and so on. Even after the compression software was done and the CPU started to cool down, Dashboard continued to eat memory. I've attached two screenshots (before compression was done and after) and you'll notice the memory usage of Dashboard (the video compressor was using the ffmpeg process listed)
Here are some system notes I grabbed from Dashboard in one of the tabs from Activity Monitor by double clicking on the process. Maybe these will help solve the problem?

TS1368 Error message in iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.".

Since I upgraded my anti-virus software to Trend Micro 2013, I now get this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
My internet connection is working fine. I suspect it is related to my anti-virus upgrade.
Any ideas?

Definitely try disabling anti virus software then try iTunes.

IPod Touch 4gen disabled "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted" Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later. Please help!

My daughter forgot her passcode. Her iPod Touch 4gen is disabled. I've tried everything I've read online. I get to the "Restore" part on iTunes and then I get the message, "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network connections are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." How can this be so hard to do? Why isn't there a simpler solution. I live 2 hours from the nearest Apple store. Any advice you may offer would be very much appreciated.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

HT1768 itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.

I keep getting this error message when I try to log into Itunes, has anyone else seen this error? If so how did you fix it?

Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

When syncing iPhone with iTunes I get an iTunes stopped working and the network connection timed out message. I reinstalled iTunes and checked settings still no go.

Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

Are yo getting a network timeout error?
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Itunes exhausts memory and hangs during gapless analysis

Symptom: Memory exhaustion leading to application hang
Impact: Itunes unusable -- hangs 2-3 minutes after launch while "determining gapless playback"
Perfmon shows itunes consuming >= 2G or RAM when it stops responding
Itunes: 9.2.1.5
System: fully patched W7, running on core5 with 3G of RAM, 2T of free disk, single user. No other apps running
Itunes diagnostics: pass with no issues ID'd
Fresh install of itunes does not solve problem
Recreation of library from scratch does not solve problem.
No particular songs/albums cause the problem.
Appears to be tied to size of library (~10K songs)
Can I cap the amount of memory itunes uses (to force a write to disk)?
Can I disable gapless scan?
Can I access additional debug info?
Does the application really require >200K per song to do this analysis????

Sounds like this probably isn't related to your issue, but I had the exact same symptoms as you (iTunes rapidly increases memory usage until it eventually fails) I was also getting "The iTunes library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory." after it hogged all available memory (usually after it got to 1.2GB or so).
I'll post my resolution in case anyone else comes across this.
I was able to track my issue down to what appeared to be corrupt album art (!!). I first noticed that the issue would only occur when I viewed a playlist that had some new songs added to it. I noticed that some of the album art, from the "Get Info -> Artwork Tab" view appeared as nothing but a tiny black square.
I selected all in the playlist, did a "Get Info" on all the files, and then checked the Artwork box and left it blank (essentially clearing all artwork from all files in the playlist).
After that, I'm no longer having the issue, and iTunes is sitting around 70MB of memory usage.
