ITunes freezes and causes shared media to not work on my iOS Devices

Even since I installed Mavericks my iTunes seems to freeze after a while which causes my home sharing media to fail on all my iOS devices. This is really annoying and tiresome i do have a big collection of music and movies on an external HDD but never had issues before the Mavericks update. Anyone now hot to fix this issue once and for all?

I down graded my machines to 10.8 and the issue went away. I have not trouble shot if it is due to itunes upgrade or the mavericks upgrade

After update - iTunes freezes and needs a force quit when I plug in any device!

I recently update to OS X Yosemite and I also updated my iTunes to 12.1 - but now every time I plug in my iPhone 6 or my iPad mini, my iTunes freezes and I have to force quit. So now I can't even plug in and sync my devices or update them or do anything!
Help? Anyone?

Anybody have any idea how to fix this? Or anything similar happening to you?

TS2972 I have done all of these things and the sharing is still not working. Please help

I have shared itunes on my other computers, but for some reason it is not working on mynew one. I have turned the firewall off on both and have done everything else, and it still won't work. Please help!

Scan the Support Community sites. Apple TV losing connection is prevalent. The many postings point out the problem occurs with Apple TV1,2and 3; with different brands of router including Airport Extreme; from current and past versions of iTunes; after varying periods of working well.....minutes, hours, days; losing connection with Home Sharing and loosing Airplay; whether the router and Apple TV are in same room or separated by distance; after trying innumerable posted 'fixes'; after exchanging for a new Apple TV.
Readers, please don't post a fix until you check it works for atleast a week.

"Click to post", "Click to tweet" and Safari sharing with facebook not working

My "Click to post" (for facebook) and "click to tweet" and safari's sharing with facebook is not working in Mountain Lion.

Android and import flash.media.Microphone not working?

Is "import flash.media.Microphone" working on Android devices ?
I am trying to call "Alert.show(Microphone.names.length.toString())" but it does not showing anything up on Android device (and even mic.rate = 11 throws an error as: mic=Microphone.getMicrophone(-1))
Any clues why it is not working (PC display on various browser including chrome is fine)
Testing desktop (WIN 10,1,82,76) and Android (10.1.92.8)

so after a while checking it gives me
I've got:
mic = Microphone.getMicrophone(-1);
and this: mic.rate = 11;
gives me error 1009 (property of null object)
then question is: Does Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (10.1.92.8) on Android supports Microphone class?
Apparently not as getMicrophone(-1) returns null object (but hey, I am pretty sure my mobile phone's got two of them) ...
anyone can confirm that?

Web-Auth not working on Apple IOS devices

I am using L3 web-auth (when no mac filter match). I currently have downloaded the custom page to the controller. It works fine with Windows and Android. I can not get to the redirect page on Apple IOS though.
In my pre-auth ACL I have added rules to allow any traffic to and from 17.0.0.0/8. I can see that it is getting hits.
I have also tried the config netwrok web-auth captive-bypass enable command.
Neither of these have helped.
My Apple client is getting an IP address.
Any ideas? Thanks

I downloaded the latest itunes update and now it freezes and my ipod classic does not work

How do I get my ipod classic to work with the new I tune update it wiped out all my sons and now my ipod is blank/

Hey palmtree2001,
Lets see if we can get your iPod touch recognized and charged. Take a look at the first article to go over making sure the drivers are working properly to any third party conflicts. If you are still having issues with charging, take a look at the second article for some suggestions to get it working.

HDMI and Component on Media Live not working - configurable?

I have a new Media Live and a Vizio VO42L TV. I plugged the PC into the TV via HDMI and component (not at the same time of course) but it does not display. Yes, I had it the TV on the correct inputs when testing. The only way I can get anything on the TV is to use the RGB connection. I certainly did not buy this PC to use RGB!!!
Anyone have any advice on what to do here? Is there any way to configure the outputs on the PC, to maybe turn the HDMI or component outputs "on"?

I have tried two TVs now and two HDMI cables - no go. The HDMI out on this Media Live PC appears to be broken. My test consisted of turning off the PC, disconnecting all cables, turning it on and letting it boot up then turning it off by quickly depressing the power button (so Vista initiates a shutdown). I then attached the HDMI cable(s) to the PC and plugged it into the TVs. Results:
Vizo LCD: I can see the MSI BIOS screen but it is flickery, green and has snow and lines all over it. As the boot progresses into Vista the TV switches off the display all together and displays "Not Support!"
Pani Plamsa: Same green screen on boot followed by the TV seemingly turning off the display all togehter (default Pani blue screen you get when nothing is connected to the line in).
I have tried all the HDMI inputs on both TVs with two HDMI cables in this manner - no go.
Is this something MSI support can help me with or do I need to RMA this back to Newegg? I have to postmark the RMA to Newegg by 12-16, so a reply from someone at MSI before then would be really great!!

HT201441 I downloaded new Itunes upgrade, and now my phone is not working, who do I call AT&T or Apple, help!

I am not sure what to do. My iphone 5, is nto working after I updated itunes,, it appears I lost all my stuff. Not sure if I should contact Apple or AT&T?

I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.

Windoes 7 64bit
I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.
I have tried both uninstalling the software and reinstalling it, I have tried to run the software in safemode, and I have tried to change the Quicktime settings to see if that helps.
Nothing has worked. It always does the same thing, where it freezes the moment I tell it to "play".
I have tried to use my other computer instead, going through the same process and I got the exact same result where it freezes.
Therefore it has to be something to do with the software, because the computers use different graphics cards, yet it responds the same.

Hi Canon-Thought!
I have an article here for you that deals with this exact issue. You may have already completed many of the steps that this article will suggest, but look over it to see if it suggests something you haven't already tried:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Also, I suggest paying close attention to the list of programs that you would need to uninstall, in order, so that you can fully uninstall iTunes and all related components from your computer. If those programs and steps are not followed exactly, you may end up with issues using iTunes.
If this issue only happens with one singular movie, you may need to report that there is an issue with your purchase. We have an article for doing that, and it can be found here:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

ITunes Freezes and Locks Up Finder Bar

occassionally, iTunes app freezes and causes the Finder bar to freeze as well (clock freezes and I get the beach ball). I have to logout to fix the problem. I've tried trashing the clock file in the Library but that hasn't fixed the problem. Any other advice????
Thanks!

JAS hello,
sounds like you may have some file issues that need
addressing....
Shut down and restart your computer with the Command
key and the letter 's' depressed.
At the prompt type or copy and paste (don't forget
the space)
/sbin/fsck -fy
hit return key and wait for all clear to be displayed
then type.
reboot
hit return key
Check the pemissions are set
correct on the Apple installed software...
use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities >
select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions...
if repairs are needed run again until none are
repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are
using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit
when finished.
Use
BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home
~ Music folder
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a
'terminal command line'
drag the complete Music folder with libraries
and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon
and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already....
Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' tick
'Unlock" ... click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
come back and let me know how it all goes now ... TP
iMac 800MHz PowerPC G4
17 Flat Screen. G4 iBook. Mac OS X (10.4.3)
TP:
I got everything done except the BatCHmod. I'm not familiar with this command and I don't know where the icon is - please provide more specific information.
Thanks,
JAS

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

Is that an error 2 message?
If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
