ITunes freezes when launching after upgrade to 7.1

Hello all, I was just having this problem and it was driving me nuts. It would just bounce my iTunes icon and freeze while also making everything else run a lot slower. For most of you, I'm pretty sure unplugging your shuffle or ipod will fix the problem thanks to the user JDH.

Hi, I have unplugged my Ipod a long time ago. I have been at this for a few days now. I am still having the same problem. Help!
I really really miss my Itunes. I might have to watch TV soon. Ugh!

ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
iTunes current version
on imac w/10.6.8

I have the same issue.
Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
Thanks!

Itunes freezing when launched.

I just upgraded to 7.5 and now my itunes will not open properly. I read other peoples posts about "missing files" and itunes not even starting up at all.. I think my problem is a bit different. When I click on the itunes application to launch.. itunes will start up and I see my playlists load up and than I get a little window that pops up asking to enter my password for my itunes account. The little window already has my username filled in and all I have to do is enter my password.. but as soon as the window fully loads it goes blank.. the window is there.. just with nothing in it and my itunes program is still in the background.. just with none of my playlists there anymore.. and on top of that its frozen.. so I have to go to my task manager to end the program. I've tried reinstalling itunes, installing quicktime 7.2, msconfig troubleshoot and using an older version of itunes.. nothing is working.

I had a very similar, but slightly different problem (in Vista). After upgrading to 7.5, I could get into iTunes, and get a song to start playing, however, after a random time (2 seconds to 10 minutes), the playback would freeze (jitter like a skipping CD), and I would loose system control (keyboard and mouse). The only way out was to 'reset'.
I tried the advice in some other posts (which is actually fro a different issue again), and uninstalled Quicktime (7.3) in 'add/remove programs'. I then installed v7.2 9from the link in other posts), and have had no issues with iTunes since.
I would suggest giving it a try. It will only take 10 minutes, and can't really do any damage.
How iTunes 7.5 and QT 7.3 got through testing is beyond me!

ITunes won't launch after upgrade

I just downloaded the new iTunes upgrade onto my Macbook, and now iTunes won't launch. It just bounces once and then does nothing. I've gone through the uninstall and reinstall process, but still no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Also, since I uninstalled it, did I lose everything I'd previously downloaded to iTunes?!)
**I just realized I've accidentally posted this under the Windows discussion. Sorry.

Itunes will not launch after upgrade or reinstall

I was on itunes and the message popped up asking if i would like to upgrade and install a new version of itunes. I clicked okay. After this was done, I have been unable to launch itunes to update my ipod. I have tried to uninstall both itunes & Quicktime and then re-install both. I have also tried to clear out the temp files, however, I get the following error message...
Cannot delete hpodvd09.log; It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
Can anyone help me? I am fairly new to itunes. Thank you in advance.

Hello Pac80 or anybody else...I took your advice (see below script) on a similar problem you assisted on last week.
I unfortunately am still not be successful in getting access to itunes..any more suggestions?..
1. after I load the upgrade from itunes on my system, i get a dialog box saying "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
2. also i get "error 1905 model C:/Program files/itunes..."
any further advise would be greatly appreciated...cheers..M2
Goto control panel>add and remove in windows and
uninstall itunes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll
down to the section "Clean up iTunes installer files
on the computer"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Now disable your antivirus and security programs,
then goto apple.com and download AND SAVE itunes to
your PC.
Once done goto the location you saved it and double
click it to install.
If it still will not open, scan your system with
Ewido www.ewido.com for a piece of adware called
Qoologic

Itunes will not launch after upgrading to 11.1.5 with my 10.6.8 mac book pro

as soon as I upgraded to the new itunes, when clicking on the icon in the dock I noticed the icon bounced up and down once but itunes never opened up. Tried it latter in the day and it still would not open. My operating system is 10.6.8and I have the current apple updates installed up to this date today. the funny thing is I waited on the itunes update, and then decided to go ahaead and upgrade and soon as I did, well you know what happened. If I could ask a second question, what if I just went back to the original software version when I bought this computer, would I have less problems. I tried this earlier because of problems with flash and my nikon software needed the apple upgrades to work (they no longer make the older version). BUt when I worked it on the original software everything worked great (no nikon) but I could not see the videos on youtube, and other internet content on various sites. So my question is, if I decide to cut and run back to my old home, how could I solve the the flash problem or could I just get an earlier version of flash? My mac book pro I beleive came with 10.6.4, or what ever they had about three years ago around November. But this itunes thing is really bothering me and if I can fix this then I will avoid any further iupgrades even if someone puts a gun to my head. Just kidding. Thank you again for your help

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

ITunes won't launch after upgrade - says files are missing

I had trouble upgrading to version 6 but disabled my anti virus software (McAfee) and the upgrade seemed to run OK. After restarting my computer iTunes won't run as it says files are missing and I need to install them. It was all working fine before. I have over 4200 tracks and I'm worried I've lost them although they are all still on my iPod. What do I do next? Please help.

Sorted! Panic over. I ran the download again and everythin seems OK.

ITunes freezes when trying to upgrade iPod touch software

I just purchased the iPod upgrade software, the iPhone 2.2 software upgrade. As iTunes is backing up my iPod touch, it freezes before it can finish the job. This has happened 3 times now, and I am still unable to update my iPod version.

Sorry. I just needed to restart my MacBook.

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Upgraded to 7.7 but now itunes freezes when I connect my iphone

Itunes freezing when trying to sync

Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows). Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6. Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11. But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1. Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thank you.

I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

ITunes freezes when opeining if connected to the internet

I have a problem that started this weekend. If I am connected to the internet, my iTunes freezes when I open it. It just gets stuck with the spinning beach ball. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd guess its something to do with syncing to icloud, but i tried disabling the auto download music & apps in preferences, and that didn't help

I am totally stuck on the same issue and have been for almost a year. Auto downloads and genius are disabled. I'm using a iMac and have upgraded to Lion OS 10.7.3. Being on an iMac means I can't uninstall iTunes but I am now on iTunes 10.6.1 (7). Think that's the latest.
If I disconnect from the internet I can use iTunes no problems but that kind of defeats the purpose of the store and I liked being able to control iTunes from my iPhone!
I've restarted literally tens of times.
Anyone that can help? should i raise another thread?
Thanks!

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
