ITunes freezes for 3 seconds about every 15 seconds - HELP PLEASE!!

My iTunes keeps freezing every 15 seconds for about 3 seconds. I have already reinstalled iTunes twice and it still happens.
Please help me!

Welcome to AD!
Look in Task Manager > Processes tab. Click on the CPU column twice.
Watch it to see what other process is taking CPU time every 15 seconds.

System freezes for several seconds every minute or so?

Recently, within the past week, my OS has began freezing for several seconds every 40 seconds or so. I had not downloaded any applications around the time this began. The last app I downloaded was iMovie 6 (for the editing features), I downloaded this several days after this problem began. The last app I downloaded BEFORE the problem began was UnRarX, which I downloaded back in April. I have no idea how to check my specs, and computer info, please tell me how to get this and I will tell you.

Call AppleCare. Whenever you buy a new Mac, discs are always supplied with them. Usually they come in a white envelope that is square with the user manual in the box. If you bought it from a non-Apple source, you should call them and ask them to send you the disc. It isn't their's to keep, and they can call AppleCare to order them. And no, it isn't in the Utilities folder. It is a physical optical disc that looks like a music CD, but says MacBook Pro on it.

ITunes freezes for minutes at a time with iPad

This is making me crazy! I sync my iPhone('s) and iPods with this computer, and while iTunes may slow down for a few seconds while the iPhone or iPod mounts, it is responsive almost immediately. Update! Now my iPhone freezes iTunes too... this blows!
With the iPad however, iTunes freezes for up to 2 minute with the spinning beach ball and shows up as unresponsive (duh!) in activity monitor. It finally starts synching and while doing so occasionally becomes unresponsive, but the synching finally finishes succesfully... eventually. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes 9.1 according to apple support protocols, but no real change. I have bit rate convert enabled, but it happens regardless of whether or not music is being added or changed. Have repaired permissions, disconnected various other USB devices, but no help so far... Anybody?

Your MyWebSearch plug-in is the cause of many problems. Google for information and advice on how to get rid of it.
If that doesn't help, you should work your way through this(Safe Mode,Problematic extensions etc ) -

Make sure your plug-ins such as Flash are up-to-date -

New MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 Freezes for 5-10 minutes every few days

I've got a brand new (i7 processor) MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 OS on it. Right from the first day I had it, it has had a problem freezing for 5 - 10 minutes every few days. When it is "frozen" nothing works - cursor doesn't track the mouse, clock doesn't increment to a new minute, nothing updates on the screen.
I turned on remote login, so I can ssh to it and see what's going on, and by running "top -o cpu" I can see that the kernel_task process is using over 100% of the CPU - other processes are getting some cycles - top, for instance - but the kernel is dominating the dispatch queue.
When this first happened, I thought the computer was dead, so I powered off and rebooted. However, once I could see that things were still running but the display was locked up, I tried waiting. Sure enough, every time the system comes back if I wait long enough. When it comes back, everything operates just fine.
Any thoughts on what I can do about this? I don't imagine that killing the kernel_task is a good idea(!). Maybe sending it an appropriate signal? I'm happy to get some more diagnostic information - just give me suggestions on what I can try. Note that it will have to be command line only, as I can only ssh into the laptop when it gets frozen like this.
Thanks.

Interesting - but that poster is complaining about the mouse and keyboard being unresponsive or going dead, not the comprehensive freeze I'm experiencing (unless "go haywire" means freezing). Not only are my mouse and keyboard unresponsive, but windows on the screen stop updating - even the clock in the upper right corner stops advancing.
For the record, I'm using the keyboard in the MBP - not much choice there - and a Razer bluetooth mouse that had no problems with my last MBP.
Still, they could be related. Something is making the kernel get very busy for a long time before it recovers. I just wish I knew what that was AND how it eventually recovers - perhaps I can accelerate the recovery if I knew the cause.
Anybody else experiencing the same thing? Note - I don't get a beachball and there is no cursor flashing (unlike the other thread on freezing). It looks like the system is completely hung, except that I can still ssh into the MBP and run things like top; overall, the CPU is over 70% idle.

The browser freezes for a second while playing Zuma Blitz and Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. It also freezes for a second while typing. What's going on?

During gameplay on Facebook it falls under Adobe Flash. If I "END" the plugin-container.exe the game crashes and have to refersh the page, in which case the plugin starts all over again. There seems to be no way to play without this process running. My typing is also freezing for a second before it catches up to my fingers. This has been happening for about two weeks. I never had this problem playing these games before.
My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running Firefox version 3.6.13

Update: Firefoxe's best browser was version ~2.2.21!
Ever since then, the user experience has been less and less. Slower browser, feats most users don't use (like skins)... really.. I'm a bit disappointed at the (negative) progress of late.

Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6

Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

Ichat freezes for 5 seconds

While on ichat, video will freeze for 5 seconds and come back, then continues to freeze for 5 seconds intermittently during the video chat. Happens whenever I am on iChat, regardless of who I am chatting with. Party on the other end does not see any indication that this is happening.

Hi,
You don't need iChat.
It should not be on there at all.
If the iCon in the DOCK looks like this then it is linked to iChat 4.
You should be able to Right/Control click that and get it to "Show in Finder"

APPHANGB1 when browsing the web, or just keeping it open. Happens once in a 5 minutes, and it freezes for 30 seconds. I found many people who have this problem too ....

Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

Hi bfunky,
Try resetting the usual suspects, PRAM, PMU, etc.
If that doesn't resolve anything maybe it's time to take it by an Apple store to have it checked out..
