ITunes freezes after a sync and then clicking to disconnect

My iTunes is behaving very strangely lately. After I've done a sync (with my iPod Nano 6th gen), which works fine, and then click the disconnect button iTunes locks-up. It displays the spinning beach ball but never stops and I can't quit iTunes without a forced quit. On top of that, if I try to restart my Mac, my computer will not restart/shut-down etc. without a hard stop (pressing the on-button until it turns off).
In addition, just this week I been getting a message that say "The selected movie won't play on your display", "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)". This may be an unrelated issue but if you have any thoughts let me know.
Help! Any ideas as to what this may be? I've already tried to reinstall iTunes again (latest version). Thanks in advance for any help.

My iPhone 5c freezes after deleting messages and then I can no longer receive them. Just shows a blank screen of a new message

Every time I try to delete my messages, I will delete and then restart the app or it won't work. When I restart the app, it takes me to an empty message screen and then will completely freeze. My phone will vibrate like I am receiving messages, but nothing shows up on my phone. Recovering the phone is not working, as the computer no longer recognizes the phone as a device.

Hey there hockeychic3,
If your Messages app is still behaving unexpectedly, then based on the symptoms you are describing I would troubleshoot the software by first quitting the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Let me know how that goes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can't open itunes,even after un-installing and then re-installing!

I keep getting the following error message when trying to open itunes on my pc.
'The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.'
This error message appeared even after un-installing and re-installing itunes.
I conducted a search for the 'my music' folder,and it came up with nothing.
Please help!

If you truly don't have a folder named C/......./My Music, there are bigger problems with that PC.
That folder is a default windows XP folder and should be there.
The file extensions setting is easy to change. Win Explorer > Tools > Folder options

If your music folder really doesn't exist, see if you can do the shift-start and CREATE a new library. It will be blank, but at least that will tell us if itunes can even start. It will NOT run without an ITL library file.

ITunes freezes after new download and reinstalls.

I have the spinning beach ball of death after iTunes starts for 30 seconds. I've unsubscribed from podcasts. trashed my movies.
New variables: new iPad
new version of iTunes 10.6.3 which I have installed twice. on my MacBook with OS 10. 6.8
I must force quit every time I launch iTunes....
ideas?
It seems to spin when a download starts...
Help please...
Thanks in advance.

I started my computer in SAFE mode and ran REPAIR disc and all is working now. 4 days without iTunes was almost unbearable. I'm in China, no where near a Genius Bar.
HELP in the menu bar of Finder helped me.
Thankfully,

Is there a way to keep iTunes library on AppleTV after sync and then...

Is there a way to keep iTunes library on AppleTV after syncing with my iTunes library on my MacBookPro and then erasing library on the MBP so that I can save HD space?
Will they just auto sync and either erase library on AppleTV or copy complete library from AppleTV to MBP?
Thank you for any insight you can give.

Is there any change on this with Take 2? I was really hoping I would be able to specify which movies are on both ATV and my computer, and which are only on ATV. I don't have enough disk space on my MBP to store all the movies I want to have on my ATV!

Itunes freezes after 5 seconds of syncing with 5th gen nano

Recently, Itunes will freeze when I connect my 5th generation nano to it. It will start to sync and then Itunes will freeze up. I have it connected to an USB 2.0 port and this problem hasn't happened before. Any ideas of how to fix? I've restarted my pc multiple times and it still does the same thing. Itunes works fine when the Nano isn't connected.

I don't get the "Itunes has stopped working" message but I get the same freezing situation when I try to synch the nano. Ultimately I have to kill Itunes and eject the Ipod manually. I just bought this Nano, probably about 4 days after installing the latest Itunes.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?

Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.
