ITunes freezing upon opening

I used to have a 20GB iPod, and I never used iTunes. A few friends of mine put me on to a program called "Ephpod" which I used to upload music on to my iPod. I just thought it was more convenient than iTunes, personally.
Now I just bought a 80GB iPod and I want to use iTunes to buy TV shows and what not. I used Ephpod to load all of my music on to the new iPod, and now when I try to open iTunes it usually freezes as soon as it recognizes my iPod. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my using another program to manage my iPod. Any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance

urhggg same with me.
Its been happening to me ever since I updated it.
I open iTunes, it opens fine but I cant click on anything, and I force shut the iTunes down.
Tried restarting comp and stuff, don't want to reinstall because I might lose all my data and I havnt backed it up in a long time....

A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and I updated iTunes on my PC using Windows 7(64 bit). Now iTunes freezes upon opening and I have to force it to close. Anything I missed along the way?

A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and iTunes update as well. I use windows7 (64bit). now iTunes freezes at open and I have to force it closed. Anythng I missed along the way?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

ITunes freezes upon opening

iTunes has ceased to work properly. How should I fix it?
I click on the iTunes icon in my dock, and the window shows up (in minimized view) but when I make it large view the beachball of death shows up and iTunes will not respond again. This makes iTunes, to put it subtly, entirely useless. For the time being I'm using Songbird, and if it's not fixed soon I am going to stick with Songbird.

Haha. I have about 45 GB of content total. (thousands of songs, hundreds of audiobooks, hundreds of music videos, a few movies) I'm using the most recent version of iTunes, whatever it is. =P and my computer is very screwy. I've had it freeze 3 times where I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button, and sometimes the screen becomes covered with noise and the monitor becomes completely useless for a few minutes.

I have tried everything told to me by both the Apple Troubleshooting and several forums, and nothing can fix it for more than a few minutes. Running iTunes in safe mode allows it to work but I have no plug-ins installed.
Thanks in advance.

Delete APSDaemon.exe in Windows Task Manager Processes.

Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding."

As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

After successfully downloading the newest version of itunes, it freezes upon opening. How do I correct this?

When I try to open itunes after downloading the most recent version, itunes freezes on my computer. How can I fix this? I'd like to update my iphone4 to the new operating system but it locks up too after syncing. Any suggestions?

Moved to Adobe Reader.
Assuming you are running Windows, try running the Acrobat/Reader Cleanup Tool, then re-installing.

Updated itunes, now it freezes upon opening. even after reinstall.

Hey, I recently updated to the newest version of itunes and whenever i open it it freezes automatically. It pops up and i can't click on anything or do anything.
I've tried reinstalling it and redownloading it multiple times but I still get the same results. I've also made sure to download the one with quicktime.
I tried downloading an older version but it says that my library was created by a newer version and it can't be read. Something along those lines.
Can someone please help me? I'm at my wits end about what to do.

I'm having the same issues! iTunes over the past few days has been freezing on opening (sometimes), freezing during routine playback (sometimes), and when it freezes it refuses to die even when I try to force-quit!
I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested, but it didn't work for me. It froze less than 30 minutes after I went through that rigamarole...

ITunes crash upon opening

Started appearing several days when the program would freeze, not doing anything in it, and need to be reopened. 3 days ago it just stopped. Any attempt to open either manually or by logging in ipod touch (4gen) is now meet with windows alert "This program has stopped working - searching for a fix", it fails and tells me to go to apple. Repaired and uninstall/reinstalled countless times and it keeps crashing instantly upon opening.

ITunes freezing upon device connection

When ever i plug my iPod touch 5th gen 16GB into my Windows 7 PC with iTunes open, iTunes freezes. It also freezes when i try to open preferences.
I have tried everything i can think of, i have re-installed device drivers, iTunes, I've uninstalled every instance of iTunes and apple related file on my HDD and re installed it, but it still freezes. After searching for a fix i came across iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and tried everything there but it still freezes when i plug in my iPod.

TS2755 Messages freeze upon opening

Upon opening messages it freezes. I would like to try to delete messages?

HI,
When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).

ITunes Hung-Freezes Upon Opening

Before I go into the specific problem, here is a brief history of what has gone down the last few months, just in case you see the problem there.
November 07:
System begins to systematically fail. Back everything up to an external hard drive, then reset OS. All is well.
Mid-November 07:
I notice that many songs didn't get transferred to external hard drive, usually whole albums, so my iTunes is missing about 250 songs I do not presently possess. But wait, I realize they are all safely tucked away on my iPod! So I download Senuti, Isync, and IpodRip trying to extract the songs. None work. Shortly thereafter, I notice shoddy iTunes to iPod performance, meaning certain songs from new albums do not get uploaded. Later, I get a message saying iTunes cannot be read from or written to. All the while, it says the are X number of songs that cannot be found while opening.
Today:
All was going fine until today when, iTunes library of 4000+ is randomly reset to 55 of the first songs I ever imported. Weird. Luckily, the music folder is fine, and I drag it in (as I never exported a saved library). This in effect deletes the songs that had missing/unlinked files, so I decided to plug in my iPod, conceded that I would never get the songs back that way. However, before I could, it kept freezing up of doing the gapless playback info, getting caught on two songs and repeating the process.
When I did plug in the iPod, the same error message came up. ***. I read Apple's page on the matter, and think it might be related to Senuti, etc., so I delete those. No effect. Now I decide I have nothing to lose, and hit restore button. Now when I plugged in iTunes, all that happens is a few lousy podcasts sync and nothing else. Afterwards, iTunes would not even work, and according to Activity Monitor, would get "hung" right after opening. ***. Please help. Need iPod. Need iTunes....

Haha. I have about 45 GB of content total. (thousands of songs, hundreds of audiobooks, hundreds of music videos, a few movies) I'm using the most recent version of iTunes, whatever it is. =P and my computer is very screwy. I've had it freeze 3 times where I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button, and sometimes the screen becomes covered with noise and the monitor becomes completely useless for a few minutes.

MacBook Pro freezes upon opening iTunes.

The probably has a very specific pattern on my computer, and I am hoping others have had this problem and know how to fix it. When I open iTunes the icon bounces and then stops. My whole computer freezes and I can't use the cursor. I use the command/alt/esc buttons to force quit. Once I quit the computer works perfectly...the weird thing is that immediately after going through that 5 minute process, I can open iTunes easily with no problems. The other thing is if I leave iTunes open and close my laptop, when I open it back up it is frozen again.
PLEASE HELP. It is such an inconvenience.

It turns out after all this WAS my problem. I was unsatisfied with my first visit to the Apple store, and since my stuff wasn't all backed up there was nothing I could do at that point. After I did back up my stuff, I restored to factory settings, which didn't solve anything. Still crashing. Went back to Apple store with printout of Macbook Pro 2010 model GPU failure extended warranty and when they checked my computer it turned out that WAS the issue. This is my first night back with it, but they said it passed the video check a couple times, so we'll see.
In the end, the $300 service (which did seem inexpensive with all things considered) ended up being free of charge. I am happy.

NEED HELP ITUNES FREEZES WHEN OPENED PLEASE HELP

hello all
whenever i open itunes on my macbook, the loading pinwheel comes up and doesn't go away until i quit itunes or turn off my computer. my itunes will 'freeze' whenever i open it and will not let me play songs or anything. please help me!

There are a lot of things that could cause this and your songs are rarely in jeopardy when the issue is iTunes so don't worry.
If you could give us your iTunes version number, and the OS version you currently have those would help narrow a little.
Did you install or change anything around the time that this started happening?
Also explain exactly what happens. does the itunes window open than hangs with pinwheel or does the application bounce like it's going to open then hang instead.
I would, even if just for good maintenance, repair permissions by going to your utilities folder opening Disc Utility selecting your HD from the left and clicking verify disc permissions. Also make a new user to test to see if iTunes opens there, if it works in a new user it's an issue with one of your user specific files, and there would be much less to sort through.
More info will help a lot in figuring out whats going on.
