Itunes freezes when renaming movies

i try and rename a movie in my itunes and it gives me the spinning wheel of death..any ideas??
Itunes 9

Hoping to ressurect this thread...
I am in the process of transferring my iTunes library and (perhaps) "life" over to an iMac 27 from a Windows PC; however, I am having some issues with my iTunes Library. Specifically, I am unable to update the metatag data (i.e. rename files) for movies in my iTunes library. iTunes freezes and the "beachball" continues to spin into eternity, until I "force quit" the application. I've also noticed that it ends up corrupting the files and rendering them useless, which forces me to reconvert them for compatibility with an iPod using Quicktime.
My iTunes library resides on a NAS connected via a 100 Mbps wired connection.
The following is the link to another thread on the same topic:

Hopefully, someone has found an answer.

  • Itunes freezes when renaming movies or add illustration

    Hi, itunes freezes when i try to renaming movies or add illustration for 30 secondes.
    Thanks you

    After experiencing this probelm for forever and a day with countless minutes of time wasted, I HAVE A SOLUTION! Albeit one I stumbled on by accident.
    Before you rename a file, double click the movie to start playing it, then "X" (close) out of the window playing to stop it playing. Then rename the file and it will work instantly.
    Don't ask me why this works, it just does....!

  • Itunes freezes when playing movies or tv, music ok

    I downloaded a movie and it wouldn't play at all. The opening starts, but then when you go to select play movie, it freezes.  Then all of itunes freezes and I have to close it with the task manager.  No no video - tv shows, clips, other movies will play.  Always crashes and I have to close with task manager.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but still the same issue.
    HELP!
    PS - Music plays just fine.

  • IPad Air connected to iTunes - freezes when selecting movies, podcasts, etc.

    New iPad Air connected to the latest update of iTunes, syncing just fine. When I select the iPad and then go to Summary - no problem, go to Apps - no problem, go to Podcasts - FREEZE. iTunes has to be shutdown using Task Manager and the iPad reconnected. The only sync settings areas I can look at are Summary, Apps, Books, Photos...any other sync setting area causes a FREEZE.
    I've tried re-installing iTunes, resetting my iPad, etc., etc., etc.
    Any helpful suggestions?

    So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
    I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
    Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

  • Why does iTunes freeze when movie download is processing and it will not restart the download but yet it billed my acct for payment already?

    Why does iTunes freeze when movie download is processing and it will not restart the download but yet it billed my acct for payment already? It has been a week now and still not done processing. I get an error message when I try to restart the download.

  • 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.

  • 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 syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

    It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
    I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
    I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
    I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
    Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
    im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the 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

  • ITunes freezes when I click on "burn" - CD diagnostics attached

    iTunes freezes when I click on "burn" CD, or when I click on the "burning" tab in Edit, Properties, Advanced. I have to then use Task Manager to get out of iTunes then.
    I ran a CD diagnostic and the results are below:

    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.
    Current user is administrator.
    D: Unsupported CD or DVD drive.
    Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.
    E: Unsupported CD or DVD drive.
    Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.
    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,
