Itunes freezes when I try to access movies or tv shows

I recently got a new laptop with windows vista. I installed itunes and dowloaded itunes 7.5, then I transferred all of my music, and vidoe files onto my new notebook. I can play music, go to the online store and make purcahses without any issue, but When I try to access my movies or tv shows itunes stops responiding and I have to use task mananger to close it. Any advice would be great thanks.

Hmm...I've had a similar problem where only some of my TV Shows would sync. What I did to correct it was click on the TV Shows tab in iTunes and made sure that all shows where synced instead of just unwatched shows. That seemed to do the trick with my situation.

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id :(

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id(apple store)
and it is not because of the update

Exact Same issue!
I haven't tried using a new profile but the moment I click on the Sign Out link under my user name in the store, iTunes freezes and needs to be killed.
Reinstalls haven't helped, sometimes out of the blue it works fine but in most cases iTunes is now practically unusable for me.
This started recently after the update and I can't pinpoint any other major change to my system.

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,

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.

I have The latest Firefox installed on an older Dell, and the CA security suite thru my ISP, which takes all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access it's features. I need a free internet security program that does tax my system so much

Have older Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I have installed CA security suite from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% of CPU on start-up & shut down, slowing everthing to a snails pace. I have removed evrything I don't need using 30 day free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access CA's Firewall to add programs to the exception rule, it will open, then freezes along with Firefox tabs and anything else. Can't even shut down from start menu. I want to get rid of CA(although it is a good program, it's too big), and go back to using my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other free internet security program that is easy, runs in the background and doesn't take all my resources and isn't just a 30 day free trial till you buy the program. I am also trying to install a wireless adapter so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Trying to access CA security Suite Firewall

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.

When I try to access the site, it shows the foll. msg :- The connection has timed out The server at 203.97.122.66 is taking too long to respond. *The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. *If you are unable to loa

When I try to access the below mentioned site, it displays the following msg -

For some reason, I can't log in to Youtube, whenever I try I get this message, what's going on and how do I fix it?

ITunes freezes when I try and signout

Hi all,
On my PC I open itunes and input my password and everything is fine. However I want to access a diferent itunes account but when I try and logout it freezes everytime.
I have tried uninstaling all apple software and reinstalling itunes but the problem still occurs.
Is there anything else I can try?
Many thanks,
Frances

Hi there,
Count me in on this problem too! Since the 10.5 update, our iTunes has been locked into my partner's Apple ID and every attempt to sign out or sign in with my ID results in iTunes freezing. Then I have to force-quit iTunes and kill off all related Apple processes before I can run iTunes again. iTunes works fine for my partner in all aspects. We've tried so many things all to no avail.
Here's our list of failed resolutions:
- contacted Apple's online support and was given several of the suggestions listed below
- Safe mode
- Creating a new iTunes library (that was a headache when you've got lots of CD's imported into iTunes)
- Repairing iTunes/re-installing/updating
- Uninstalling completely as per a recommendation from an Apple Genius in my local store (see the tech article on that annoying process) and then reinstalling afresh
- Going through my PC's registry bit-by-bit and deleting specfic Apple entries (again, as per an article listed in tech forums)
- I have allowed iTunes through Windows Firewall
- I have "told" Avast Antivirus to ignore iTunes and let it do its thing as well
And so now after putting up with this since December 2011, we're still stuck with the problem and Apple don't seem to know how to fix it.
My ID works fine on our devices, but I just can't get into it on our PC.
Our specs are:
- Windows Vista32 SP2
- AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual CPU [email protected]
- 2Gb RAM
- NVidia Geforce 9600GT 1GB
- iTunes is installed on C: Drive, iTunes Media/Library is installed on external Seagate 2Gb HDD
(and I have tried it on both drives to see if that makes any difference, but unfotunately it didn't)
Any ideas or suggestions would be so majorly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Weregirl

ITunes Freezes when I try to sync my new iPod Touch

I can't sync my new iPod with my iTunes library. I have posted in the iTunes forum, although my title says that I have solved the issue. It isn't, so I'm contemptlating reposting.
I bought a 64gig iPod Touch the other day to replace an old broken iPod. When I try to sync it with my main iTunes library, after a short while (5-500 songs) iTunes freezes and won't shut down. I have on a couple of occasions got a message saying the the computer can't write to the iPod, or the iPod isn't responding, or an "Unknown Error".
It seems to work fine with my laptop.
I found a page on fixing "Unknown Errors" and have tried most of the suggestions.
I've tried:
*) Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes several times
*) Resetting and restoring my iPod several times
*) Updating my drivers - they are all up to date apparently
*) Stopping all unnecessary programs and services from running on start up
*) Creating a new user account and trying to sync my iPod from there. I have successfully managed to sync the iPod with a small number of songs or a film on my own account, so I need to test it with a fairly big library. I copied my main iTunes library into iTunes on the new account. The sync hasn't worked (although it is syncing the same files).
I found a post with a google search that suggested it could be a power drain on my USB port / Bus, or somet fhing like that. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounded plausible. I have recently upgraded my graphics card.
I did also see a solution posted that suggested formatting the iPod using My Computer and the iPod icon, but I can't imagine that would do anything more than the restore iPod option in the iPod menu?
Can anyone help? Getting a bit fed up now... I've had the iPod a couple of weeks and have barely been able to use it yet.

Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Truman

ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
Any help would be really appreciated!!

I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.
