ITunes freezes while installing

At first, there was a problem with my iPhone showing up in iTunes. I fixed that problem. I was then told to uninstall iTunes and re-install it. Now, every time I try downloading iTunes the installation gets stuck at 76% (50.2 MB). I've tried every solution the Apple Support has to offer, and many other solutions as well. Nothing. Can anyone help?

Do you have problems with downloading large files in general or is it just iTunes?
It would be worth trying some other large files to see if it is a general problem.
I recently had a problem with a wireless LAN and large files and it was resolved with a firmware update of my router. In my case there was no problem with a wire connection. I am not particularly suggesting this is the cause of your problem but rather an example of a general problem.
In the mean time could you get someone else to download the installer for you and put it on a memory stick/cd.

Freeze while installing Photoshop CS 5

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to install Photoshop Extended on my MacBook. Things to consider:
Yes, I have the Java runtime installed
I've had photoshop in the past, including the trial for CS5. However, I uninstalled them weeks before trying to install the retail copy
I suspect that it's having trouble writing files. It will often freeze while installing fonts, or when installing the actual application for Photoshop.
The installer used to quit, but after I cleared a number of system adobe files, it will not quit, and the instalation process will go further. However, between 50% and 80%, the installer will lock up, and my Mac will lock up, forcing me to shut down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had similar issues installing photoshop in Mac OS (Specifically Lion)?
Thanks!

ITunes freeze while listening radio through Apple TV

Hi there.
I've got problem with iTunes. It's freezes while I listen internet radio through Apple TV. It happens after about 15-20 minutes. Music continue plays but iTunes freezes and do not open. All updates to Mac and Apple TV has been installed.

Hi Dreanmachine1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you purchase a song on your Apple TV, it is available on all of your devices. There are a few reasons why you may not see the song on your iOS devices or your MacBook Pro. They may not be set up to download purchases automatically, or you may not have been signed into the iTunes Store.
I'd suggest trying to download the purchases on your other devices using the steps in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You may also want to check your automatic download settings, so you can receive future songs automatically. See this article for help:
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads

All the best,
Jeremy

ITunes freezes while copying to iPod

I seem to have suddenly developed a problem with iTunes freezing whenever I try to copy individual songs or whole playlists to my iPod. I have taken the iPod to a local Apple store and it checked out OK, but iTunes still freezes ...... maybe, this relates to the other postings here about problems with the latest iTunes version?
What I would like to do is reinstall iTunes, but I do not know how to uninstall first (I am not at all familiar with how this works in the Mac environment since for the 1.5 yrs I've had my G5 I've never had ANY software issues!). Any help would be appreciated!

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes from Apple's site and installed it, but it still freezes when trying to copy to my iPod.
I would really love to perform a complete uninstall of iTunes and reinstall the latest version, but how do I uninstall iTunes???

ITunes freezes while restoring apps

Near the end of apps restoring after installing IOS 5 on IPad 2 iTunes freezed, Shut down iTunes plugged IPhone, iTunes doesn´t show iPhone. Windows 7

It's happened to me as well. I checked the ipad and it had some questions and set up for the iCloud. Now I can see/use the ipad, but iTunes says it's still syncing apps. AND I can't open any apps. They open and immediately crash. I can't lose everything off here. Please help.

Itunes freezing while importing a certain cd?

I am trying to import "Audioslave" by Audioslave and it keeps freezing while trying to import the second track on this album. When this happens I am forced to eject the cd to get itunes to respond. If I uncheck all but the second track, the rest of the cd will import fine. The cd is in fairly rough condition, with some scratches, but I thought if this was what caused the problem the cd would not import at all. Would this cause it to freeze like this or is it something else? What other issues could cause this?
Thanks

That sounds like the problem is in the CD. But first, if you have not checked the error correction box, check it and try to import that track again. If no joy, rip that track in another program, such as Windows Media Player or CDex.
If those don't help, the next thing to do is to get one of those services that will re-surface your CD for a few bucks, to solve the scratch problem. If all else fails, buy that one track from your favorite online music download store.

After updating to iTunes 10.5, iTunes freezes while syncing and doesn't recognize a cd in the cd drive

I have a 160gb iPod Classic that is about 3 years old. I just added new music to iTunes 2 days ago and synced my iPod. Today, when I opened iTunes, it asked for the update to 10.5. I allowed the update, added some more music to my library and synced iTunes with my iPod again. When the sync was done and I ejected my iPod, it appeared that all of my music, videos, podcasts and photos were erased from iPod. When I try to sync it again, iTunes freezes about 10 miniutes into syncing and then only about 300 songs appear on the iPod. I tried to restore the iPod which has led to more difficulties. Also, I noticed when I attempted to add music to my music library, iTunes no longer recognizes that there is a disc in the CD drive. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit and there seems to be alot of problems in the community after the iTunes 10.5 update. I have also been getting unknown error messages followed by the codes (-48), (-50), (-120), and (-53). Does anyone have any answers??? Help Please.... I have a library of 13,144 songs and I want them back on my iPod.

Since updating to iTunes 10.5 I am unable to view the iTunes Store - using Windows XP; Have the minimum system requirements changed for 10.5? What has changed? The Sync in 10.5 also seems to be slower than previously. What exactly does 10.5 deliver, to Users?
To make matters worse, in iPhone OS.5 it is not possible to purchase a Series (for instance) unless there is sufficient space to download direct to the Phone; Previously you could confirm the purchase on your iPhone and then use iTunes 'Check for Available Downloads' to download. This was the only available work-around to a dysfunctional online Store. Nice one Apple - you have successfully prevented me from making purchases (of any size) from your store; Why was this change necessary and how is it desirable?
NB: it should not be necessary (nor is it desirable) to uninstall anti-virus software to acommodate iTunes; although you may need to modify its configuration (confirming the Store connection is 'safe') during or after install

ITunes freezes while transferring TV season from Apple TV back to computer

I bought a season of a show on the Apple TV and it downloaded the entire season fine. When I open up iTunes and it starts syncing, it indicates that the computer is transferring the shows from the Apple TV back to the computer, but then iTunes freezes in the middle. The Apple TV appears to be fine. I'm currently running Custom Sync as the option.
I'm running 2.4 ATV OS, the latest iTunes (8.2) on a Windows XP. Network is a Linksys 54G wireless router.
I've looked at some things and have tried reauthorizing, rebooting, etc. It's a pain because I have some new content that I want to get on the Apple TV, but it defaults to transferring shows back before adding new content from iTunes onto the AppleTV.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the update, but that doesn't really help me since my computer (desktop) and my computer about about 50 feet from each other and I really have no desire to unplug either to sync. The reality is that this has been a problem with 2.4 since it was released a month and a half ago and there is no reason why Apple hasn't fixed it by now.
What this has led me to do is not download any shows to my AppleTV, I just buy them on my computer now and the downstream sync works fine.

ITunes Freezes While Syncing iPod!

Hello,
I've seen tons of unanswered "itunes freezes" posts, but I'm hoping to get lucky. Before I even upgraded iTunes, a freezing problem started happening.
Anytime I copy some mp3's to my ipod, I see it add them all and then it goes into the "Syncing iPod - Please Wait" message, and iTunes freezes every single time. In order to use iTunes again, I have to completely CtrlAltDel and close iTunes then disconnect and reconnect my iPod. After I'll be able to reopen iTunes and use it until I have to sync my iPod again.
I'm using an iPod classic (160GB) and Windows Vista.
I've already tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all other programs by Apple Inc. and reinstalling iTunes and the problem still happens. I even upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and the problem still occurs.
I've tried changing the drive letter of my iPod that doesn't help either.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!

OK, I read your first message again and can't seem to see where you wrote you didn't have all the music on your PC, but never mind, at least we got that straight before you went and restored your iPod!
I'm afraid you've run into the situation where it is risky to only have a copy of your music on the ipod, because everyone needs to restore their ipod sooner or later....that being said, you can get a 3rd-party utility to copy your music off your ipod onto an external hard drive, perhaps?
Or else try an ipod reset (which will NOT erase the music on your iPod), but I don't think that is going to help your syncing woes.

ITunes freezes while trying to import CD (spin wheel action)

Occassionally when I try to upload a CD into my iTunes library, it will get part way through and then suddenly freeze, displaying the ever annoying spin wheel. I can't figure out how to cancel the import or quit out of iTunes, eject the CD, etc. I have tried force quitting and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

By any chance, do you have an old copy of MusicMatch Jukebox installed on the PC?
(I've seen one case recently with similar symptoms occuring if the mmjb.exe process from the MusicMatch JukeBox was running while trying to do the import in iTunes.)

Freezing while installing apps

I recently updated my 16GB ipod touch to 2.0, and have downloaded about 15 apps. 3 times now, though, my ipod has frozen while an app has been installing. The graphic on the Touch stops, and I can no longer control iTunes; totally frozen. Once I unplug the ipod, however, iTunes snaps back to life.
After I shut off the iPod (manually, by holding down the top and home button for a long time), the ipod freezes on startup with the white apple. I have to put the ipod into recovery mode for iTunes to recognize it again, and then I restore it.
What is going on? And how can I fix it? Thanks very much in advance.
As an additional note, the application that has been installing when the iPod freezes has been a different app on each of the 3 crashes.

Happening to me too. Requires a complete restore and reset to fix. iPod gets very warm to the touch when it's in the frozen state, and plugged in. Recovering it to a working state requires me to put it into recovery mode, restore, and set it up as a fresh iPod; restoring from a backup puts it into the broken state.
I've found it's possible to "break" the iPod by adding new apps from both the iTunes app store on the computer, and from the app store on the iPod itself.
Given this, I'm forced to get my iPod into a working state I can live with, and then not buy anything further from the app store until this is fixed.

IPhone-iTunes stuck while installing 5.0

Good morning,
I just prepared everything to install the 5.0 version of the software on my iPhone 3GS. While doing the job, iTunes and iPhone just got stuck, nothing is moving on and I have the Apple and a partial bar on the iPhone's screen and a partial bar on iTunes. I am afraid I will have to stop this, but how can I get back to a working phone?
Thank you all,
Pepe

Solved, thanks.

ITunes Freezing While Uploading CDs...

For some reason some of my CDs seem to freeze up iTunes, while importing. The CD will upload usually until the last song and will freeze w/ one second left of the upload. These are all CDs I've uploaded before without trouble. Anybody know what the issue is?

I have found that both on my home Mac and work PC, that iTunes will freeze when trying to play an Audio CD. It will do it usually between tracks. I have turned off error correction in the Preferences - Advanced - Importing. It seems to solve this very unApple like problem. I have seen many problems like this over the past year and fear that this will continue. I am used to locking my PC at work once things
work, and updating my Mac to get all the extra features. Now I feel like I am using Microsoft products. OSX 10.5 search (Spotlight) does not search all of my hard drive so I can not do any searches unless I copy a folder to an external drive and search there (lame).
