Itunes freezes with windows 7 when dialog boxes are opening?

I have an issue with itunes (i am running whatever the latest version is) and Windows 7 - it freezes for long periods when I do any actions which lead to additional windows pr dialog boxes to appear. For example when I click to create a new playlist there is sometimes a very long wait for options window to appear, when I click to delete a song and waiting for confirmation box to appear, etc. I have been experiencing this issue with every version of Itunes and windows

It is enough. I am fed up now.
iTunes does not update automatically on my Windows 7 (64) and never did on my previous Windows 7 (32).
Yes, update freezes again and again as it did on my old computer. So what the hek do you want me to update?
And no:
I do NOT want to borwse any more tutorials.
I do NOT want to personalize my experience.
I do NOT want to check out any community discussions.
I do NOT want to 'see around the communities'!
I just want to have fun! If possible with my iPod, if not I'll change that to another device too (and in order not to unsatisfy any other person not even donate it to an NGO).
One more chance for Apple an iTunes:
Just tell me what to do in order to fix my update problems - or else I shall be gone.
CU? Your decision.

I need help - Open windows and dialog boxes are ghosting and flashing.

Hi All,
My Mac Pro has recently come down with a "bug". When i open multiple windows they don't seem to cope well with each other and parts of the window behind will still show through the window in front in fragments. When downloading, the loading bar will also flicker and partly show the dialog box behind. The only thing that fixes the broken up windows/dialog boxes is to minimize then maximize again. At first i thought it was a memory issue but the problem occurs with no applications running except for finder. I have done several restarts, updated my software and have checked my hard drive in disk utility and everything appears okay?
I can still operate the machine but it's getting a little annoying. Can anyone help me here?

Hi nayefo,
Try installing multitouch, and then see, while in windows, if you've successfully installed multitouch and multitouch mouse, you should have those drivers. Also check if you've installed trackpad and trackpad enabler.
Cheers,
Erik

Itunes freezes with Windows 7

Help! I have an issue with Itunes freezing everytime I open it. Its getting really irritating and I'm getting ready to return my Ipod. I love it but the software is not cooperating...

I had the same problem and resetting winsock resolved it. iTunes would endlessly display "Accessing iTunes Store" without ever actually connecting. I couldn't Authorize my computer to play purchased music or buy new music. I would have to kill iTunes in Task Manager and restart iTunes. I am running Windows 7, installed latest version of iTunes recently. Uninstall and reinstall didn't work. Here's how my husband finally got it working:
The last 4 or 5 lines at the bottom of the document (pasted entire string of text below) are the things that I ran to get it working:
Make sure that c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file has 127.0.0.1 in it!
Reset ipconfig
Flush DNS
Reset all winsock networking connections
iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
Basic connection to the store failed.
The network connection timed out.
Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
The network connection timed out.
Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-04 14:12:42.
Start | Run ... | cmd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all

ITunes freezes with iPhone, when connected to network

iTunes started to freeze with latest version (9), when iPhone is connected.
I tryed everything from the Apple support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1421
The last sentence on that page is "Disconnect your computer from the Internet"
iTunes is working well with iPhone, when network is disabled, but how I can fix it? What could be the problem?

Hey Hoods ginest,
Check out the following article, it'll go over how to sync your photos to your iPhone using iTunes:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
You'll want to read the section titled "Syncing photos to devices" and then "To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device."
Take care,
David

Heads up - itunes freezing with Windows 7 Service Pack 1

As found on the Windows Seven forums :
http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/147024-windows-7-service-p ack-1-suspected-bug-itunes.html
My iPod classic completely died and whenever I tried to restore it in itunes it would freeze and go round in circles trying to restore. Once I uninstalled Service Pack 1 everything was fine again.
Thought id let people know to avoid any problems with your ipods

Hi,
I would like to verify if two computers are in domain environment. What is the message when trying to remote to Windows 7 Ultimate? What is your Remote Desktop configuration
under System Properties? Please set "Allow connection from any version of Remote Desktop" option.
Also, please disable security software and perform
clean boot
on both computers for a test.

ITunes 9 with WIndows 7 - keeps trying to open iTunes

I have recently installed ITunes on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. I have several users set-up as my family use it as the main PC. My son has recently bought an iPOD Touch.
today, my son has logged on and is running iTunes but I am also logged on.
On my account - I have not tried to open iTunes and it is not in my Start menu but it is trying to launch and I keep getting an error message saying that "You can not open the application "ITunes" because another user has it open."
Why doesn't iTunes support multiple users anyway?
Why does it try and load without me asking it to and how do I stop it?
Andy

I have the exact same problem. I use a laptop with three user accounts. Two of the accounts have iTunes. However, to switch between users I MUST completely logout of one account else iTunes opens on the other account and I get the Windows failure sound (ding) every 2 minutes from the other account as iTunes tries to unsuccessfully open in that account.
This is really annoying and I have decided to stop buying iTunes songs until fixed because Windows Media Player doesn't do that. Unfortunately, I have invested a few bucks in some iTunes music that I guess will stay in storage until this is fixed.

Problems with CS4 when several photos are open

Hello all,
I have a problem with Photoshop CS4. When I have several photos open, the borders of the underlying is shining through:
This remains until I move the upper picture. Its a rather ennoying effect...
My configuration is the following:
Windows XP Professional SP3, Pentium 4 Dual 3.2 Ghz, 3.25 GB RAM, NVidia Quadro FX 1500, driver 6.14.11.8120, plenty of HD space, etc...
Photoshop CS4 11.0.1
Who can help?
Thanks in advance, Dan

What springs to the eye is that it's the UI elements (the frames around the images) not the pixel content, so I'd rule out any OpenGL issues. More likely it's a general memory shortage of the graphics system, which either is due to using excessive screen resolutions, another app stealing resources or a configuration problem. I would definitely check the NVidia panel and see, if you have not inadvertently toggled some critical setting. Furthermore look, whether some program is running in the background that may steal the screen buffer. Funnily, Corel Capture could be such a suspicious tool, if it's running all the time. Also turn off the rulers. There has been an issue with those and it may still not be fixed in the latest update. As a last thing to look into, of course make sure to get rid of any fancies you may be using, e.g. drop shadows on your windows, a desktop image, transparent window dragging and such. all those consume memory on the graphics card.

With windows 7 when y connect my Iphone Itunes opened . With windows 8 I have to open itunes manually ??

I too am having this problem. I've noticed that it seems to do it more often when i'm in full screen mode, if there is something downloading or i try to play something within the first minute of opening. Also, finding a lot airplay issues and playing to apple tv is a nightmare without a LAN connection. Anyone got a solution?

How to open window print dialog box ?

Hello experts,

for this i add a button in my tools bar. i want when to call the windows print dialog box.
please help
Thanks
yash

You did not mention what Forms version you are using or the platform on which it is running. Although that doesn't really matter much in this case, please include this information in the future.
To print a screenshot of the currently displayed (running) form, use the PRINT built-in. Refer to the Builder online help for details. Here is the example from the online help:
/*** Built-in: PRINT **
Example: Print the current window. */

Print;

I would like Adobe to utilize the non-legacy save/open Windows 7 dialog box

So I downloaded the trial for CS5.5 Master Suite and found that the open/save dialog box is the same thing from CS5. This is a huge disappointment.
Reason being is explained right here: http://www.sanneblad.com/2010/06/18/customizing-the-open-and-save-dialogs-in-adobe-cs5-for -windows/
Common File Dialog is being used still by CS5 and CS5.5 which is outdated and legacy.
[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]
The Open dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and the name of a file or set of files to open. You create and display an Open dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetOpenFileName function.
The Save As dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and name of a file to save. You create and display a Save As dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetSaveFileName function.
Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes provide user-interface features that are similar to the Windows Explorer. However, the system continues to support old-style Open and Save As dialog boxes for applications that must be consistent with the old-style user interface.
In addition to the difference in appearance, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes differ in their use of custom templates and hook procedures for customizing the dialog boxes. However, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes have the same behavior for most basic operations, such as specifying a file name filter, validating the user's input, and getting the file name specified by the user. For more information about the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes, see Open and Save As Dialog Box Customization.
The following illustration shows a typical Explorer-style Open dialog box.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646960%28VS.85%29.aspx
It appears it would be a simple retooling of the code in order for this to work. I truly hope that Windows 8 will force all software developers to utilize the new Common Item Dialog API.

We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista.

Um, no, not that simple.

Can I use my Mac OS iTunes Library with Windows XP under Boot Camp?

Hello. I have a Mac Pro with two drives, a 1TB Mac OS 10.5 drive and a 500GB Windows XP drive. I have a large iTunes library on my Mac OS drive, and I'd like to be able to access it when I'm using XP. I downloaded MacDrive hoping that I'd be able to use the same iTunes library, but I'm stuck as to what to do now. Anyone know if this is possible, and how I can get it to work?

I have my entire iTunes library shared between Mac OS X 10.5.2 and XP (aka. Media Center 2005).
I use an HFS+ volume accessed via MacDrive. In my case I started off with the Windows iTunes as the master (and use it to rip all my CDs). I then set the Mac side running iTunes to use the same iTunes folder as specified in Windows (this is done in Advanced Preferences). I also replaced the Mac "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" file (both stored in /Users/username/Music/iTunes) with aliases pointing to "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml" and "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" respectively.
Note: I suspect the Mac side will need write access to these two files, and as I used FAT32 for the Windows volume the Mac does have write access. However there are now at least two ways for the Mac to get write access to NTFS volumes (MacFuse being one). It may also be possible to tell iTunes to store these files themselves in a common location (not tried that).
While it is not relevant to your query, I have also managed to share my entire iTunes library with Windows Media Player (and therefore also to Media Center 2005). All my music is in Apple Lossless format and I have a directshow filter for WMP to let it play Apple Lossless (or unprotected AAC). I also have a plugin installed to let WMP read the meta tags in MPEG4 (i.e. AAC and Apple Lossless) files.
When I switch from Windows to Mac and run iTunes it does a brief rebuild, when I switch from Mac to Windows it again does a brief rebuild and the result is that the list of music in iTunes on both operating systems is always the same and successfully accesses the same music files on the shared volume. I rebooted back in to Mac OS X at the weekend and was happily accessing the music in Front Row.

Is itunes compatible with windows 7 64-bit

Is iTunes cmpatible with Windows 7 64-bit? I just had to get new computer and got rid of Vista.

Apple has JUST RELEASED a version of iTunes that is compatible with Win7 64 bit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to Apple.com, select download for iTunes, When you select the Win OS you'll see a message in tiny blue print that there's a special download for Win7 64, click on that, then download. I had to disable the Windows Firewall to get the download. I run AVG as my protection system.
I have Win7 64 and have been having compatibility problems for the past few weeks after recent automatic Win7 updates and the iTunes 10 upgrade. I am still having freeze problems but not as bad.

Windows font dialog box?

Is there such a thing as a standard Windows font dialog box,
similar to the
Open and Save dialogs that you can access with the FileIO
Xtra? Something
that would allow a user to select a font that was loaded on
their system,
select color, size, style etc and then return the selection
so that Lingo
could modify a text cast member? Or am I going to have to
create this
myself?

BuddyAPI has a, windows only, function "baFontList" that will
return a
list of the fonts that are installed on a user's computer.
There may be
others.
Once you have the list of fonts, you could build a screen
that allows
the user to select the options that you give them. Or, you
could use the
MUI Xtra to create a system type window that contains all of
the options
that you want the user to select. Or, you could create a
Movie in a
Window that mimics a system window to do the same work.

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
