Itunes freezes when adding media to Iphone

I have just updated to Itunes 10.2.2.14 on Windows XP, I also have never synced my Iphone 3g to itunes, but when attempting to add any media to the iphone, the progress bar stops halfway on the first song, the arrows remain spinning but nothing happens, until about 20 minutes later it says there was an error and the media could not be copied, how can i fix this?

Jeremy,
Thank You for the reply but my issue was not in the attachment you sent.
iTunes freezes when I attempt to add music to my ipod classic especially playlists I have made.
iTunes recognizes my ipod but when I "add" that when the issue starts.
I have my large library on a pc using windows 7. I have no issue adding music to my device on
my macbook pro but like I said, my 60,000 song plus library is on my pc.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays,

Itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s

My itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s. I've tried re-installing & previous versions. When I use another laptop it works so the problem lies with my laptop which is Windows XP 32 bit with latest updates. Can anyone suggest a solution?

PE12 freezes when adding media

I haven't used PE12 since about April, and now that I have something to do, the program will not let me add media by any means.
I have already had issues with audio problems (here Re: Video Quality dropped and Audio out of sync (APE 12)) and went through the Handbrake sequence to try and edit some new clips. However when starting a new project (as described in previous thread) no matter how I try to add media (drag & drop, files/folders) the dialogue box that says"adding media" pops up but nothing happens. no status bar progression, no timer icon, nothing. Try to click cancel and the the (Not Responding) message appears in the box. I then get everyone's favorite message "Premiere Elements 12 has stopped responding. Would you like to Close the Program or Wait for it to Respond?".
I have done both. I've restarted the computer. I've installed the updates and restarted. I've even tried going into a previous project and adding media to that. No luck.
PE has been nothing but a headache from the word go and I'm about to seek a refund. If you're trying to decide on PE12 or something else, go with something else.

BadWolfRacing
Sorry to learn of your Premiere Elements 12 on 8.2 64 bit setbacks. For background, are you still working solely with the HandBrake converted video as source media?
1. My current understanding is that, if you purchased the product from Adobe direct, then you have within 30 days of purchase for the money back. If purchased some place else, then you need to contact the seller for its return policy. Adobe is strict about 30 days within purchase, so be aware of that and watch the date. See Adobe Chat
Under Membership, Account, Payment..
Contact Customer Care
2. Premiere Elements and HandBrake conversion apparently was the answer to your prior question. Now it sounds like you cannot introduce media into Premiere Elements at all. Am I correct in understanding that this is true for old and new projects? If so, it would appear that the issue goes to program rather than project? Does the problem disappear if you disable the antivirus program?
a. Have you deleted the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists?
To do that
Local Disk C
User
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can view the complete path cited.
3. Also, please make sure that you do not have pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files.
See Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0 and the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and the Media Cache Files Folder.
And, Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and its Media Cache Database area.
4. I think it highly unlikely that the current issue targets your video card driver version since it was only April 2014 and all was going well with the HandBrake converted videos as your source media. Was there an automatic video card driver update from April 2014 until now July 2014?
Let us know if any of the above worked for you. If not, we will consider other troubleshooting if you wish to continue with the product. Depending on your answers, the next step might be to Sign Out of a project Help Menu/Sign Out, uninstall the program (Control Panel), ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaning parts), and then reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) turned off.
Looking forward to your follow up.
And best wishes whatever your decision.

ITunes freezes when adding songs

I upgraded iTunes to 6.0.1.whatever and now i can't do anything. When I try to add files or folders to my library iTunes freezes and i have to shut it down. Along with this it will no longer recognize or find any of my songs that I was recently (before upgrading) able to play that are located on my external hard drive. I can only play songs that are on my local disk. Can anyone help????

ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPhone 5.

I'm at my tethers end.
Last month I had my iPhone replaced at an Apple store, as the battery on my old phone was draining unusually fast (100% to 0% in 2 hours on standby with nothing open). This replaced iPhone has been slightly tempermental, but I have tried to ignore these little glitches (brightness jumping randomly from 100% to the lowest setting for no reason etc (it's not on auto).
The biggest problem I'm having it trying to sync my phone with iTunes. It will not sync my music, often freezing at particular songs, meaning I would have to restart my entire computer for it to work again. Deleting these songs would work for it to continue syncing, but no sooner would it find another song it did not like, which would play on any other media software and had no problems whatsoever with my old phone. It then decided to start freezing on 'downloading safari safe data', so I took steps for it to stop doing that (advanced on safari etc). Now it keeps freezing on step 5 of 5; waiting for changes to be applied. Frankly I'm absolutely SICK of this, as I'd like to get some music on my phone at some time, and now I can't even make any alterations to my phone.
I've tried..
*Restoring my iPhone ( which went awfully because my backup dissapeared, meaning I had to restore with a months old backup. I triple checked that my backup had worked but when it came to needing it *poof*.
* Checking Winsock providers.
* Converting back to older versions of iTunes.
* Restarting my computer a million and one times.
* Deleting 'problem' songs, but now I can't even reach that stage of syncing.
PLEASE HELP. I'm so frustrated with this. I've always been a loyal customer to Apple but frankly I get sick of always having problems. There's not been one apple phone which has not stopped working within warranty and needed a replacement. When we're paying this much for a phone we expect it to actually WORK.

This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
(Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
1) Start iTunes.
2) Connect phone via USB.
3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
6) Tap on Sync now.
The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
Good luck!

ITunes freezes when adding artwork

every so often when I'm adding albumart to iTunes my cursor freezes on the box in the bottom right corner, with no easy way to get it unstuck (looks like this - http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg155/Mo-Dilla/frozen.png). I have to quit/restart in order to fix it. Please help this glitch is making it very frustrating to update my music.

I thought this was a problem until today. I added artwork to a mp4 file and it froze as expected. Rather than ending the process with a force quit, I browsed a web site. In about 4 minutes, the artwork was added and itunes was no longer froze. I don't know why it happens, but I suggest that you leave itunes alone for 10 minutes or so and see if the artwork gets added eventually. This may work differently on a mac than on windows, but hopefully not.

TS1717 iTunes freezing when accessing Media folder located on NAS

I'm running the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7 (64bit)
this
My Media is located on a QNAP TS412 NAS.
I have a desktop machine that accesses the Media without issue.
However, when I launch iTunes on my laptop after a short while the application will freeze.
If however, I point iTunes to a media folder on the local hard drive no problems are encountered. Any ideas?

The following topics appear to relate to the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7559249#7559249
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7620447&#7620447
Like the poster in the second thread, I'm most disinclined to trash the folder as it has all my music from years of collecting on it!
The Finder behaviour is like this:
In Icon view, you can see the two sparsebundles and the Media folder, but clicking on the Media folder causes it to disappear.
In List view, the Media folder is simply not visible.
In Column view, the Media folder is visible but clicking on it reverts the focus back to the root level of the drive. The Media folder icon flashes momentarily and reappears.

ITunes freezes when adding music file from smb share

As title states, if I try to add more than 15/20 files to iTunes, it freezes and there's no turning back.
All my music is stored on my home-server (running Gentoo/Linux) and I have always used it with success until iTunes 10 came out.
The only thing I can do is to unmount the remote directory, open iTunes and remove the music.
I've already tried to upgrade to v10.0.1 but no luck so far.
Any clue?
Thank you

This has gotten to be a real problem for me as well. It freezes for about 40 seconds for each song I add. It even comes up as "not responding" at times in the force quit dialogue box. I rolled back to iTunes 9.2.1 as described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603684&tstart=0
Others have reported this fixing the problem, but it has NOT fixed it for me. I have my media on an SMB share and my library files were on the local hard drive. I tried moving the library files over to the SMB share, but it didn't improve anything.
I've been using "Activity Monitor" to look at what's going on and there's minimal CPU usage. But I am noticing something odd: the "Reads in" and "Writes out" figures are pretty much the same, which is what I would expect as I'm copying song files from my internal HD to the SMB share. But the "Data read" and "Data written" figures are very different. It's reading over twice as much data as it's writing. Either I'm misunderstanding what I'm looking at or something isn't right here. Anyone with more technical chops care to jump in?
I'd post a picture, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
I'm also wondering if there are corrupted plist files or other invisible files that can be deleted and rebuilt? I used "Filebuddy" to unhide the files and found a file in the iTunes folder called "sentinel". Anyone know what that is?

ITunes freezes when I connect my iPhone... Anyone else with this problem?

I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and I tried to connect my iPhone 4 this evening and it just kept freezing. It wouldn't do anything.. As soon as I disconnected the phone from the computer the iPhone screen popped up like it normally does, but of course I couldn't do anything because the phone was unplugged. Someone please help if you have any insight into this. Thanks!!

My itunes freeze when i sync my iphone on my windows 7 laptop. how do i fix it?

my pc freezes every time i sync my iphone 4 and then i have to force shut down

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with another library, it will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace them with the contents from the new library.
If you have content you need to copy from your iPod back to your iTunes library, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do this.
