ITunes Hanging After Install

Okay, so I downloaded the new version of ITunes... clicked on the icon, and... nuthin'... for maybe a second the hourglass comes up, and then there's nothing. I checked the Task Manager to maybe see if it were hanging as a process - it's not. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

ITunes "hangs" after playing first two tracks

Testing with three different CDs, I have discovered that my iTunes "hangs" after playing the first two tracks. That is, it will play the first two tracks fine, then appear to play the first two seconds of the second track again and stop. I am also unable to eject the CD or quit the program, instead getting the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, so I must force-quit the program, after which I am able to eject the CD.
I have repaired the disk permissions and verified the disk with no problem in both cases. I have also shut down and restarted a few times between tests, but to no avail. I hope this issue is not an indication of a physical problem with my drive. (I have not tried running Disk Warrior yet, but that may be my next step.) Also, this problem occurred both before and after I upgraded to 10.4.11 so it seems to be unrelated to this OS upgrade, but it may be related to my upgrading to iTunes 7.5. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

Yep, that did the trick. Many thanks! In fact, after unchecking Error Correction and successfully playing a CD all the way through, I even rechecked EC and immediately tried playing the same CD, with the same problematic "Track 2 Hanging" result.
Odd that this should be the solution, though. It begs the question as to whether or not EC should ever be checked. I realize that this feature is for importing and not for playing tracks, but it seems tedious to have to remember to check EC when importing and then uncheck it for playing. I guess I'm asking whether or not EC is effective enough to warrant the inconvenience of having to uncheck and recheck and uncheck, etc. Any thoughts on that?

ITunes 12.1.2 hanging after installing Yosemite 10.10.3

I updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 and am running iTunes 12.1.2 on my mid-2011 iMac 27". I can log into the iTunes store (albeit VERY slowly) and when I attempt to add an allowance, iTunes hangs every time during the "message" section. I have rebooted the iMac multiple times, have closed all apps except iTunes, and it hangs every time at the same place. I have filed multiple crash reports to Apple, each of which describe the event as a "hang."
Anyone else experiencing this and have a work around?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Also iTunes TV Programmes are affected - an Episode watched today before the Update was playing just fine.
After the Update, the Program plays for 4sec and then stops and blends in the HDCP Error Message.

Safari 5 hanging after install...

Our internet started hanging and took forever to load pages after installing safari 5.0. We took it into Geek squad, they checked it out and said it was a software problem not a hardware problem and told us to reinstall the operating system. We did and everything worked fine (until we did the updates that included safari 5.0) then same problem again. Slow page loading...so We reinstalled the operating system without doing safari 5.0 update (currently running safari 4.02) and internet is fine but we cannot log onto the iTunes store because it says that we need safari 4.03 or higher. Tried to download safari 4.05 but it said that I could not install because I do not have Mac OS X 10.6!! So does having Mac OS X 10.6 keep you from having hang up issues with Safari 5.0?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
First, right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder then click "Get Info". That should tell you exactly which version of Safari you have installed.
Check to see if you have third party Safari plug-ins or input managers installed. Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Install the v10.5.8 Combo Update This includes updates that were not part of the original v10.5.8 update.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
One more thing. Open System Preferences/Accounts the select the Login Items tab. If you have any apps listed there to launch when you startup your Mac, delete them. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Remove any items there also.

ITunes. After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

iTunes. After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

Itunes hang after latest updates

Since the last updates to my iMac iI find that the iTunes is constantly Hanging. It does not matter if I'm not using iTunes, as soon as its working in the background it hangs sooner or later. When I work with my music files in iTunes it usually hangs after less than 30 minutes.
How can this be?
I do not want to start with a new music player since I have used iTunes for the last 10 years and I have all my music in it.
But the way its acting now it seem like I have to use something else since iTunes is simply not working properly.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

ITunes error after installing in windows 7 x64

Hello, after installing a clean version of itunes 9.2 (with quicktime included) and launch it, gives me an error (excuse me, i'm from spain and the error shows in spanish):
ITunesHelper.exe
No se encuentra el punto de entrada al procedimiento QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane en la biblioteca de vínculos dinámicos QTCF.dll
and after close several windows with this error, gives me the last message:
Quicktime no disponible
No se ha encontrado QuickTime.
QuickTime debe estar instalado para poder ejecutar iTunes. Desinstale iTunes y vuelva a instalarlo.
¿Something idea? i'm lost

ITunesHelper.exe
No se encuentra el punto de entrada al procedimiento QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane en la biblioteca de vínculos dinámicos QTCF.dll
Most commonly, that's caused by an old version of the QTCF.dll file lurking in an unorthox location on the PC.
Abre Disco local (C:) en Equipo o el disco duro en el que esté instalado el sistema operativo.
Abre la carpeta Windows.
Abre la carpeta Syswow64.
Can you see a QTCF.dll file in there? If so drag it out onto your Desktop.
Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch without the error message now?

Cannot connect to Itunes server after installing Itunes 7.5

Help! After installing Itunes 7.5 I cannot connect to the Itunes store. I have a active internet connection but the error I get says the Network connection was refused. Anyone have any suggestions???

I finally uninstalled 7.5 and reinstalled 7.4.3.1. After the first attempt to connect to the iTunes store I got the same error. I tried a 2nd time to connect to the store and this time it connected.
7.5 is useless.

ITunes corrupted after installing iLife 08

I can no longer launch iTunes following install of iLife 08. Error message says "copy of iTunes corrupt or not installed properly" "Re-install iTunes".
Is teh solution as simple as downloading iTunes 8 from the Apple site? How might this affect my existing iTunes library and authorization?

Same here. I recently had a memory module go bad and a bunch of stuff got corrupted, so I had to wipe the disk, install new memory, and reinstall everything starting with OS X. Since all of my old iLife apps were gone (They were not on the disks I got with the Mini), I had to get iLife '08.
Before I installed iLife '08 I recovered my iTunes library from my 30 GB video iPod using TinkerTool, and it all worked fine. After installing iLife '08, I got the "iTunes is corrupted or not installed correctly" error message (Oh NOES!!!11!!).
All you have to do to fix this is, 1) Download iTunes 8.0.1 from Apple, and, 2) click on UPGRADE. Your iTunes library will still be there (Mine was, anyway).
Cheers,
George

TS1398 connect to itunes store after installing ios6.

After installing ios6 i get error message cannot connect to itunes store.

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Itunes hangs after just listening to music with Album Art work turned on.

I have been having issues with iTunes hanging and I have to open up task manager and kill the process. It doesn't Hang my system, only iTunes. I have noticed that the itune's process is taking up about 1.4 GB of memory and that each time it hangs it is around that amount. I have almost 38,000 Songs in my iTunes folder and I have album Art work for all of them. Is there some limitation on the amount of Art work? If I turn off the Art work it will run all day long with no problem.

Not necessarily. I was asking that cause iTunes match will upload album artwork for the first track of a CD and it wont display until after you play the track you want artwork to display for. As far as it not displaying when being synced via iTunes, I am sorry but I don't have any idea.
