ITunes freezing when clicking "Get Info"

My iTunes keeps freezing when I click on "Get Info", and it takes several minutes to open. Sometimes, it won't open at all, and I have to end the task in Task Manager.
I have Win7 and almost 200gb free. I noticed this about three weeks ago and have already upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas?

Tried reinstalling, and I'm still having the same problem. It takes about a minute for the window to open after selecting "Get Info."

Itunes freezes when clicking on a song

I run a Windows 7. I just updated my itunes to the most recent update. This problem has gotten progressivley worse up to this point. Now, whenever I launch itunes, it starts up fine until i decide to click and play a song/video. At this point it freezes itunes completley - to the point where only the Task Manager will close it. It says, "not responding". Ive tried restarting my computer - no luck. Ive tried going into the control panel and clicking itunes, then 'repair'. Still nothing. Ive looked all over the web and have done virus scans and reinstalations everything reccomended. Nothing will work - itunes continues to freeze when i click on a song/video.
Is there anything else I can try? What could be the problem?
If anyone needs to know, I have 1667 songs and maybe five movies. And yes, I still have plenty of room on my computer. RAM and such isnt an issue.

"We could not complete your Itunes store request" with the unknown error number (306).
That's a proxy issue, although there's a number of different things that might cause it.
First, try going into your Internet Options control panel. Go into the Connections tab. Click the "Lan settings" button. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if it is checked, and click okay.
Can you get through to the Store if that box is unchecked?

Why does my iTunes freeze when it gets to the backing up part of the sync?

Every time I try and sync my phone to iTunes it freezes shortly after starting the backing up process. Any ideas? I've restarted my phone and laptop several times and can't find anything to work.

Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

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:

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,

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I create my apple id from my boyfriend macbook and its says that I have to review my itunes information , when I get to the credit card number info etc. Its keep asking me for that I dont have any credit card and I dont want to put any , what should I do?

You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

hi David!
The computer just freezes and according to Task Manager, iTunes takes 100% of the computer's resources.
Help! Any suggestions?
first let's try a
b repair install.
go to your add/remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that, let's try working through some of the other usual suspects:

Why doesnt Bit Rate show when you Get Info

When you downgrade the bit rate of a song in itunes for example, from 320kbps to 128kbps then click get info it will show the bit rate, but if you use your Finder locate the song file and click get info it will be missing
why is this
is there a way to make it show?

You cannot show bit rate using finder. This value is not included in the get info box - only sample rate is shown. You should use iTunes to find the bit rate of the track which you can see in song view if you have added this from view > view options.
If you want to see in finder, I suggest that you provide feedback to Apple.

My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

Itunes freezing when Ipod Classic plugged in

When I plug in my ipod classic 80 gb,itunes freezes (cannot click or play anything) and an error message shows up.
"There is a problem with this drive. Scan the dvice now to fix". Tried that and it doesn't work. It also says my ipod is not responding.
The newest version of itunes is installed and our computer is windows 8.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at lots of other discussions but nothing has helped my problem.
Thanks!

I have the same problem: if I load iTunes for a second time and my iPod is plugged in the iTunes app and the system menus (top right corner of screen) freeze up.
Unplugging and plugging in the iPod seems un-freeze everything for me.
