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...

answered my own question in post...

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,

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 Freezes when I try to sync my new iPod Touch

I can't sync my new iPod with my iTunes library. I have posted in the iTunes forum, although my title says that I have solved the issue. It isn't, so I'm contemptlating reposting.
I bought a 64gig iPod Touch the other day to replace an old broken iPod. When I try to sync it with my main iTunes library, after a short while (5-500 songs) iTunes freezes and won't shut down. I have on a couple of occasions got a message saying the the computer can't write to the iPod, or the iPod isn't responding, or an "Unknown Error".
It seems to work fine with my laptop.
I found a page on fixing "Unknown Errors" and have tried most of the suggestions.
I've tried:
*) Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes several times
*) Resetting and restoring my iPod several times
*) Updating my drivers - they are all up to date apparently
*) Stopping all unnecessary programs and services from running on start up
*) Creating a new user account and trying to sync my iPod from there. I have successfully managed to sync the iPod with a small number of songs or a film on my own account, so I need to test it with a fairly big library. I copied my main iTunes library into iTunes on the new account. The sync hasn't worked (although it is syncing the same files).
I found a post with a google search that suggested it could be a power drain on my USB port / Bus, or somet fhing like that. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounded plausible. I have recently upgraded my graphics card.
I did also see a solution posted that suggested formatting the iPod using My Computer and the iPod icon, but I can't imagine that would do anything more than the restore iPod option in the iPod menu?
Can anyone help? Getting a bit fed up now... I've had the iPod a couple of weeks and have barely been able to use it yet.

Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

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.

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.

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

# Question
When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes. Can anybody advise?

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful

Itunes freezes when i try to sync apps

when i push the sync applications box i tunes stops responding

Hi ,
Your Itunes freezes because you have too many apps (100+) . Which takes longer to load because it has to check for updates . Give it a few minutes to load . Open your browser and explore while its loads , check it every 2 minutes.
Good Luck! & be PATIENT.

My webmail account freezes when I try to create a new email.

Windows 7;Firefox 11.0. Ameritech.net email account.
When I try to send a new email, I type a letter in the "TO:" line. A drop down menu opens from my contact list. I select an email address and the menu and webmail freezes. I've already contact ameritech. My webmail works in Internet Explorer correctly. The conclusion is that the problem is with Firefox. This problem started today. Last night we did have a power outage unexpectedly. I suspect that has something to do with the problem I am experiencing.

Hi dudds1,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player. iMac + OS Mavericks. I have tried it many times. Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer. Aggro+++++++

OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too. So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player. It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
Good to know it was not Adobe…….
Thank you,
Patricia

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.
-Pete
