I have seen this problem in other posts, but has anyone found a solution?? Or are we just waiting for apple to come up with something?? I didn't have a problem burning until I updated. Can I get rid of the update??
Any help would be awesome!!!

ITunes freezes when I click burn disc

I've been a fan of iTunes since it came out, however, it's pretty worthless if I can't play my music in my car. I haven't been able to burn CDs for quite a while now. I can't pinpoint exactly when it stopped burning CDs but someone suggested that it was because of something in Windows Service Pack 2. I don't know. When I click burn disc, iTunes immediately freezes and I have to close it in the task manager. Also, if I go to edit preferences, and click on the burning tab, iTunes freezes, same situation. If anyone has any ideas how to remedy the problem, would you please let me know. I've already done two clean reinstalls to no avail.

hi Craig!
drat. i was hoping that you had one of the Dell "two minute" hangs, which often seemed to be cleared up by heading to Dell to stock up on recent updates.
how about the rest of your CD diagnostics? have you followed up on any other recommendations made about checking your chipset or video driver or so forth?
if no joy with that, head here to check for other documentation and to submit your CD diagnostics to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
and keep periodically refreshing your thread here with another post. (if there have been any developments in the meantime, some informed passerby might be able to give you updated news.)

ITunes freezes when attempting to connect to a new ATV

Hello,
So I have an apple tv that my MBP is sync'd to in my room. I can also stream to my apple tv no problem. Over thanksgiving I was at my brothers, and I attempted to connect to my itunes on his ATV, over his wireless network. I typed in the passcode, got the "Loading Ben's Library" message on the tv, and then iTunes would just freeze up and have to be forced quit. I tried again and again, nothing doing.
Then I was at my neighbors in the next apartment over - we share a wireless network, and I tried to setup my MBP to stream to his ATV. The same thing happened. It looked like it would work, only to freeze up again and again.
I'm running Leopard. The routers have always been airport extremes. All software updates have been done all around.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Ben

I had a similar experience and found patience to be the answer. For some reason it took 5-10 minutes for my Apple TV to get past the "Loading Mike's Media" message. In the meantime my iTunes was unresponsive. My library is not exceptionally large (about 160gb with 57 movies and 67 TV shows).
After that initial long wait, I tried switching back and forth between Apple TV as the source and my iTunes as the source. Each subsequent reconnect to iTunes only took about 40 seconds.
I have no idea why it takes so long. I did a little probing, and iTunes was neither using much CPU nor doing much I/O during the long wait. Quite odd.

ITunes Freezes When iPod Plugged In. Please Help!

Two years ago I got a 2nd Gen. iPod nano. It worked for a while, but then it started freezing iTunes when I tried to sync it. So I got a 3rd gen. nano. It worked on one computer, then I wanted to put iTunes and start syncing it on another computer. So i transferred all of my songs to the other computer.Which was the same computer I synced my old iPod. I synced my new iPod once and all of my songs went to it. The next day I tried to sync it and as soon as the computer reconized my iPod, iTunes froze. As soon as I unplugged it it unfroze. That was what happened when I plugged my 2nd gen nano in. So now i cannot sync my new iPod because iTunes keeps freezing. Do you know what I could do to fix this problem??

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, do you mean uninstall the updater software first, or iTunes?
Also, do you know what causes this problem? As you suggest using an earlier firmware, I'm guessing some aspect of a later version is to blame?
Any idea what version I should try?
Thanks again!
Simon.

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

hi David!
The computer just freezes and according to Task Manager, iTunes takes 100% of the computer's resources.
Help! Any suggestions?
first let's try a
b repair install.
go to your add/remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that, let's try working through some of the other usual suspects:

Can anyone help?

Thanks for your question.
My system has all of the updates and drivers. The problem stated when I upgraded iTunes.
Are you suggesting that because of that, I need to upgrade to Windows XP?
Many people are having the same problem as I, and they already have Windows XP....so I doubt that is the problem.
My question is:
Where can I find an older revision of iTunes? At least then we could use our burners until apple fixes this bug, and then upgrade.
Thanks again,

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
If iTunes freezes when you:
1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
OR
2) When you click on the Burn CD button
Steps To Recovery:
1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
2) Reinstall iTunes
3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
I hope this helps,

Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

hello,
I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

ITunes freezes when I select help

iTunes freezes when I select help. Does the same thing in safe mode. Reinstall didn't help. iTunes 10.7.0.21. Windows 7 64 bit
When I choose iTunes help from the help menu, the help window opens with half of the window on screen and half of the window off of the screen to the right. The computer and other programs continue to work correctly but I need to use task manager to get iTunes to close.
Any thoughts???
Thanks, Tony

SUCCESS!
After trying all the suggestions above I googled the issue and came across a Windows specific forum where a guy had a software conflict with Malwarebytes.
That got me thinking about a startup item conflict.
Using Msconfig, I systemattically turned off half of my startup items, did a restart, tested the result.
In my case, with half of the items off, I could access the itunes store.
I turned on half of the remaining items, restarted, tested the result.
I could still access the store.
After about 8-10 cycles of this, I found that a startup item called OC_Guru_II was the culprit.
It is an overclocking utility that came with my Gigabyte brand Nvidia video card.
I'm confident that this was my problem. It is 100% repeatable.
Hope that it helps some of you when the other stuff doesn't.
All the best to everyone,
Tony

Help: iTunes freezing when I try to transfer purchases from iPad 2.

iTunes freezes when I try to transfer purchases from my iPad 2 to my laptop (MS Vista). It starts to transfer purchases but eventually results in iTunes not responding or my device timing out. I've tried Disk Cleanup/Defrag and uninstall/re-install of iTunes in the correct sequence. Can anyone please help me?

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit) & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
