TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

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.

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!

ITunes freezes when trying to close

iTunes (7.6) freezes for me every time i try to close the program. It seems to open up and work fine, however when I click the "x" or go to file, then exit, it freezes up and have to open the task manager and end the process. While it is frozen, the task manager shows it using 100% CPU usage. This is fresh, clean install of Windows XP SP2 with all updates installed. This was happening with the latest version just before 7.6 came out. I did a clean install of XP, installed all updates, installed iTunes and it froze, didn't think much of it.. thought it was just a random one time thing, finished installing all my other programs.. then today i update to 7.6 and go to close it and it happens again! I opened and tried to close it several times and it happened every single time. I uninstalled iTunes (removed old database as well), reinstalled iTunes and still froze. This has never happened to me before and am stumped on how to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*Note to everyone here in this thread*
interconnect has fixed his problem with iTunes hanging when trying to quit. He had Eset's Nod32 antivirus installed on the PC, and was able to fix the problem by using the measures from the following Eset troubleshooting document:

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 freezes when trying to update

my system crashed last week and i had to restore the operating system. since then i've been slowly putting it back together piece by piece. i used a program called ipodcopy to take everything (music/video/pictures) off my ipod and put it back on my computer and my new itunes library looked just like the one on my ipod but now that i've added more music and want to update, i've hit the last (i hope) wall in this reconstruction.
i've made sure to switch settings like auto. update back on and unchecked enable disk use. when i agree that doing all that will replace what is currently on my ipod with what is currently in the library and say yes to linking this library to the ipod rather than the old one - it freezes. i tried a few times over the last two days and the same thing happens.
i'm almost there. someone please help me!

No, a restore shouldn't take an hour.!!! Like maybe 10 minutes, max.
If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod.
that is from this article

Itunes freezes when trying to sync ipod

this started to happen when i had to re-install itunes because they deleted all my content. it was the old version anyways, so i installed the latest version. now, whenever i connect the ipod into my computer and itunes detects it, itunes freezes and my new content doesn't get synced. the battery sign on my ipod shows that it's connected, but itunes doesn't respond to anything i do. Only after i disconnect my ipod does itunes start working again. any suggestions?

My 80GB ipod and itunes also freeze during sync. I tried resetting ipod, had Best Buy restore ipod, and have an extended warranty with Best Buy-they sent in my ipod and I got a replacement ipod. I have already checked my anti-virus and have scanned my computer for any problems, which none came up. So my laptop and ipod are good. Did not have any problems with ipod or itunes until I got the new update for itunes 9.2. The problem is with itunes updates, now I have an ipod with no music and cannot sync my music back into it. If they can't fix this, I will get rid of this ipod and never buy any apple products ever again.

My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

My iTunes freezes when trying to sync iPad

This appears to be happening when I open iTunes on my iMac and it attempts to connect and sync to either iPad in the house. If the iPads are off and they don't try to connect, iTunes opens and works normal. When I turn the iPads on and the attempt to connect wirelessly, then iTunes freezes. This only began after the last update. Can anyone help me?

ITunes freezes when trying to restore ipod

Hi guys
At the moment whenever i plug my ipod in itunes says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
Once i restore it and the ipod resets though, itunes freezes completely and wont shut down from task manager.
To open it again I need to restart the entire computer but when I try again it goes back to the start and is just going around in loops.
Any ideas?
thanks

Did the problem start after installing Windows 7 SP1, there have been numerous reports of iTunes freezing connected in some way with USB.
I don't have a solution at the moment although it might be possible to find more with Google.
Some people have resorted to uninstalling SP1.
Here is an example of what can be found:

Itunes freezes when trying to insert IPOD

Hello all,
We are trying to restore a click shell IPOD (+ HP). When Itunes is running and the IPOD is inserted in the base attached via USB to the computer (Dell D620), Itunes freezes thus preventing the restoration. I have tried to deinstall Itunes and reinstall but no luck. Any ideas?
Jordan

Since no one has replied to my requests, I will reply to myself.
It turns out that the IPOD may have had really bad stiction.
I got it restored using the origninal HP+IPOD CD installer. But then when trying to get all 485 songs downloaded in Itunes it got to about 147 and hung. So, I "carefully" tapped the sides of the IPOD actually harder than many times before. I then did a soft reset on the IPOD and started to download the 485 songs again from Itunes. This time it worked with no problems. Now, the question is whether it will hold up this time or start "sticking" again.

ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

Here's my situation exactly:
I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
Things I have tried so far:
Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports
HP Pavilion Windows XP

I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!
