ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.

  • ITunes Freezing when you try to close in New Version 9

    So anyways I updated to version 9 and ever since my iTunes kept crashing. I finally slowed down to read the crash report and apparently my old version of Eyephedrine (visualizer plugin) was causing it to hang when you try to close it..
    So if anyone experiences this problem, make sure all your plugins are up to date, or remove them if you don't use them anymore... Once I removed Eyephedrine iTunes not only started quicker, but it closed alot quicker as well.
    Thought I would share that with you all... that's it...

  • ITunes freezes when I try and signout

    Hi all,
    On my PC I open itunes and input my password and everything is fine.  However I want to access a diferent itunes account but when I try and logout it freezes everytime.
    I have tried uninstaling all apple software and reinstalling itunes but the problem still occurs.
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Many thanks,
    Frances

    Hi there,
    Count me in on this problem too! Since the 10.5 update, our iTunes has been locked into my partner's Apple ID and every attempt to sign out or sign in with my ID results in iTunes freezing. Then I have to force-quit iTunes and kill off all related Apple processes before I can run iTunes again. iTunes works fine for my partner in all aspects. We've tried so many things all to no avail.
    Here's our list of failed resolutions:
    - contacted Apple's online support and was given several of the suggestions listed below
    - Safe mode
    - Creating a new iTunes library (that was a headache when you've got lots of CD's imported into iTunes)
    - Repairing iTunes/re-installing/updating
    - Uninstalling completely as per a recommendation from an Apple Genius in my local store (see the tech article on that annoying process) and then reinstalling afresh
    - Going through my PC's registry bit-by-bit and deleting specfic Apple entries (again, as per an article listed in tech forums)
    - I have allowed iTunes through Windows Firewall
    - I have "told" Avast Antivirus to ignore iTunes and let it do its thing as well
    And so now after putting up with this since December 2011, we're still stuck with the problem and Apple don't seem to know how to fix it.
    My ID works fine on our devices, but I just can't get into it on our PC.
    Our specs are:
    - Windows Vista32 SP2
    - AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual CPU [email protected]
    - 2Gb RAM
    - NVidia Geforce 9600GT 1GB
    - iTunes is installed on C: Drive, iTunes Media/Library is installed on external Seagate 2Gb  HDD
            (and I have tried it on both drives to see if that makes any difference, but unfotunately it didn't)
    Any ideas or suggestions would be so majorly appreciated!
    Kind regards,

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here. 

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • HT2638 Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos

    Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos.  I have tried all of the first aid options.  Can I only delete small batches?  I am trying to organize and edit my 16K + library and deleting small batches is very time consuming.  And iphoto is running very slow...  Is there simply better software for a large library or tips to erase these photos?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id :(

    Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id(apple store)
    and it is not because of the update

    Exact Same issue!
    I haven't tried using a new profile but the moment I click on the Sign Out link under my user name in the store, iTunes freezes and needs to be killed.
    Reinstalls haven't helped, sometimes out of the blue it works fine but in most cases iTunes is now practically unusable for me.
    This started recently after the update and I can't pinpoint any other major change to my system.

  • If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

    I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
    If iTunes freezes when you:
    1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
    OR
    2) When you click on the Burn CD button
    Steps To Recovery:
    1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
    2) Reinstall iTunes
    3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
    I hope this helps,

  • Help: iTunes freezing when I try to transfer purchases from iPad 2.

    iTunes freezes when I try to transfer purchases from my iPad 2 to my laptop (MS Vista). It starts to transfer purchases but eventually results in iTunes not responding or my device timing out.  I've tried Disk Cleanup/Defrag and uninstall/re-install of iTunes in the correct sequence. Can anyone please help me?

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • My mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it.  I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes but when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message indicating there isn't enough space.  I thought a 2GB would hold at least 500 songs.

    I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it.  I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes and when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message that says I don't have enough free space.  I thought a 2GB IPOD held at least 500 songs.  I've even deleted songs from from iTunes library.

    The figures that Apple used to use when saying how many songs coud fit onto any particular iPod were based on a 4 minute song at a Bit Rate of 128Kbps and that's the bit rate that songs sold by iTunes used to be in. However, now the iTunes Store sells songs at 256Kbps (as do many other MP3 stores) - which means that each song now uses twice as much storage space than before.
    So if your songs have a bit rate of higher than 128Kbps, and/or they are all longer than four minutes each, that's why 385 songs is filling up your iPod. You can check how much space is being used when the iPod is connected to iTunes Library. Look on the Device panes for the capacity bar at the bottom of the window. How much space is being used by Music?
    The solution is either:
    Use iTunes to make 128Kbps versions to go onto your iPod - or,
    Sync the iPod using Playlists and then choosing which Playlists you want on it. Smart Playlists may be the answer - you can set Smart Playlists up so that they automatically add and remove songs from your iPod, so that there is a constant change of songs (according to the rules you set)

  • Itunes "Freeze" when i try to Import music AND putting it on to my Iphone

    When i try to put Mp3's from my collection into itunes it imports some songs and then crashes on the same files. I then have to exclude these folders when im putting the music into itunes. THEN, when i try to put music from the music library to my Iphone 3gs 16gb the same thing happes, but with different songs. when i get it to sync, it does so until i reaches a spesific song, then it just tries syncing that song forever and finally the whole program crashes. What can i do?

    Changed how?  Did you update the Apple ID with a new email address or create a new Apple ID?
    Keep in mind that content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
    If you created a new Apple ID, stop using it immediately.

  • ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

    When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
    Any help would be really appreciated!!

    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

  • ITunes freezes when I try to transfer songs to iPod Nano!

    I just got my iPod Nano. Every time I try to transfer music to it from iTunes, iTunes freezes and must be force-quit after only a few songs have transferred. I am using the latest version of iTunes and no software updates for the Nano have been made available. Please help!

    I had the same problem and this was my temporary fix to the problem, let me know if it works. But first lets make sure that I am having the same issues. Mine will get the spinning ball when trying to transfer songs. Then if I unplug it and try and replug it in, the Nano doesn't even register being attached.
    First, I restarted the Mac, and zapped the PRAM 3 times.(Command, option, P + R after the startup chime) Let the computer restart fully, meaning the OS is up and running before you start iTunes. Start iTunes, then plug in the Nano. It should show up. At that point I started transferring songs at about 5 at a time. It didn't freeze, but I got the impression it came close judging by the speed it transferred. It may only be a temporary fix, but I got it to work.
    Like I said let me know if it works.
