ITunes hangs on CD rip

In iTunes I was having a problem with it hanging up trying to rip a CD into my library. I had to Force Quit the application twice before I could eventually eject the CD. It turns out that the CD was dirty, I stopped looking at them after about #30 I had done that day. Anyway, my question is, shouldn't iTunes have some sort of of timeout when it is having problems ripping a CD and prompt me?

I was experiencing the same issue. I'd insert a CD, and iTunes would launch, but give the spinning beach ball. What worked for me to get iTunes working again, was to remove any third party visualizers. I only had Kover Phlose installed in /Library/Compositions/ . You may want to try removing any third party vizualizers from ~/Library/Compositions/ and/or /Library/Compositions/

ITunes hangs when I connect my phone

iTunes 10.2.1.1, iPhone 3GS iOS 4.3, Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
Short summary: when I connect my phone to sync, iTunes hangs. If I let it sit for a minute or two it will eventually crash. If I disconnect my phone before this then iTunes starts responding just fine.
Details:
I just "flattened" my computer: formatted the drive, reinstalled the OS (and upgraded to Win 7 SP1 off of a DVD with the combined install). The computer waas fine before this, I just wanted to do some spring cleaning. My iTunes library is sitting on a server and has always been accessed over the network.
After the re-install of the OS I installed iTunes and pointed it at my library. That was fine. Then I connected the phone. At that point it was running iOS 4.2.something. I decided to upgrade to iOS 4.3. That seemed to work fine. After that when I connect the phone iTunes hangs.
I decided to reset the phone with the option to erase all content and settings. iTunes now worked ok. So I did an initial sync, telling it to set it up as a new phone. I did not sync any music at this point--I have ~22GB of music, it takes a long time to sync. This still worked fine. So then I sync'd the phone again, this time installing all the music. Again iTunes hangs.
I wondered if the library was screwed up. So I installed iTunes on a laptop (running Win 2008 Server R2), pointed it at my same library (still over the network). Then started over: reset the phone, clearing all settings & content. Sync from the laptop. It works fine. Sync the music from the laptop, it still works fine. It also seems clear that it's not a problem with the iTunes library.
Back to my original computer, the one with problems, my wife is using it logged in with her account and syncing her iPad without any problems. However, she has very little music on her iPad, maybe one ripped CD, whereas my iPhone has hundreds.
So the issue seems specific to this one computer & phone that has a lot of music on it. I never had a problem on the computer before, but that was iTunes before 10.2, iOS 4.2 (and earlier), Win 7 without SP1, ... So I've changed lots of things at the same time and am not sure which one really created the problem. Although I wonder if it's a problem with Service Pack 1. I don't have any concerns about a bad install of the SP, since I did a full install of the OS that already had SP1 integrated into it. But maybe iTunes 10.2.1.1 has an issue with SP1.
Any suggestions?

I've been following a Windows forum about the freezing problem. It happened to us and our three iOS devices immediately after upgrading Windows 7 64-bit to SP1. There were plenty of others with the same problem. Rolling back SP1 solved it instantly. Reinstalling SP1 caused it instantly. No amount of cleanly uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime, iTunes, or any components helped.
Although I have an image of my system before SP1 that I could revert to, I didn't want to. Luckily *a temporary fix is to run iTunes in Vista compatibility mode*. The iOS device will now be recognized most, if not all, of the time. ITunes will run like molasses, but that's better than being unable to sync any of your devices ever again. (I could describe compatibility mode, but you seem PC-savvy.)
Here is the specific trouble I am addressing, although it is only part of your trouble. We plug in one of our iPhones or our Touch, iTunes hangs for a couple of minutes. Windows sees the device as a camera if applicable, but the device never appears in iTunes. It's worth repeating that Windows doesn't have trouble recognizing the device. The problem is with iTunes.
And yes, everyone tried all sorts of things with the Apple Mobile Device utility. People even tried "nuking" all their USB drivers and letting them get rebuilt on startup. The only temporary fix found so far is Vista mode, and the only permanent fix is downgrading the OS to before SP1.

ITunes Hangs when I plug in my iPod Nano

I'm hoping someone can help. When I plug in my new iPod Nano, it shows up in iTunes, but iTunes hangs claiming it is Analyzing Track X of Y. It will do this for infinitely long without making any real progress. If I look under the event viewer, I get some mention of Hard Drive device failure, etc.
Any clues? Thanks.

Itunes hangs with itunes match in Mountain Lion

Right!
I've seen all the "Itunes hanging" issues that Apple is choosing to ignore. So I'm adding my bitter experience to this too!
I have:
Re-installed Mountain Lion, tried to run the latest version of itunes, and pulled down my cloud stored library. It hangs itunes, then hangs Mountain Lion.
I have:
Created a new user, and tried to do the same....it hangs itunes...then hangs the computer.
I have:
Tried using the rescue partition, and it ....yes, youve guessed it hangs itunes, and hangs the computer.
I don't have wirless on, and am using a network cable. I've tried using wifi....
My machine is:
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 12 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
I'm a film editor and photo-journalist hence the amount of ram.
Allof this started when Apple released Mountain Lion.....IT ALL WORKED BEFORE!
Can the developers figure out what is happening, or are they focusing their efforts on trying to create the next rich experience pioneered by Mr.Ives.
Fed up with this, I used to be proud of using Apple, however, I'm starting to like the look of Windows 8.
Any ideas?
Cheers

ITunes hang due to iTunes Match

My iTune hang every turn on iTunes Match.
If I turn it on, I can't download/update large application or update all. I have to update one by one and only small one that's success (<100 MB).
iTunes Match also not working on my MBP. If I download nothin but just turn on iTunes Match, after a while my iTunes will also hang. So, my songs are purchased from iTunes store via iDevices will also not be updated on my MBP.
Right now I have to turn iTunes Match off then I can use iTunes normally. Download or any update are working fine.
Error is below and I have no idea what to do. Actually the error show much longer than I paste it here If you have any suggestion, kindly tell me.
Thank you very much

Hi judysings
Thanks for your help.
I tried to follow for each topic from your link. Actually it doesn't contain any topic about uploading issue.
After I turn on my iTunes Match again, the same problem appears. My iTunes hang again after iTunes Match status bar updating in a while.
Before I turned on, I've check and never seen any duplicated except from different albums.
Actually, this problem happened since a few days ago that iTunes down for the whole world area. So, my iTunes database most likely the same even before and after it down. My one seems not fully recovered.
Anyway. Thank you very much

Itunes hangs when burning cd's - possible solutions

Hello everyone,
I've had what appears to be the same problem as many many more people on this site.
I haven't got a complete fix, after 4 months of trying but I've got as far as I have with the help of Toonz and the people at Apple.
Now here is what I have found:
1. The problem with my Itunes hanging at burning only happens if I have a mixed playlist that I am trying to burn. When I say mixed I mean a mix of purchased tracks and uploaded tracks from my cd collection. Just uploaded tracks work fine.
2. If I just burn a playlist of purchased tracks it works fine too.
3. If I don't control alt delete when it hangs, and I wait for up to 2 minutes, the burn evenutally kicks in. Don't do anything. Just leave it and see what happens. I was having to control alt delete to get out of the unresponsive Itunes, but by chance, yesterday, discovered that by leaving it it finally burnt my cd! This was a mixed cd with both purchased tracks and uploaded tracks.
Now, the people at Apple don't yet know why this is doing this. It only happens since version 6 of Itunes. This version (I think) was the first to introduce the "checkingplaylist" stage of burning and they seem to think that it might just be something to do with that.
Anyway, that all helped me. It is still frustrating to have to wait for a couple of minutes, but it's better than nothing. They are still trying to get to the bottom of this for me, too.
I hope this helps at least some of you.
Please give me some feedback if it has, as I'd love to know that all my efforts over the last few months could help others!
Good luck
Jane

I think I'm in love...
I just spent the past 3 hours running through reinstalls of iTunes, looking at every support topic and finally found this wonderful, wonderful thread.
I am having the same exact problem with mixed playlist burns.
I also have great success with waiting for only about 1-2 minutes while iTunes shows "Not Responding". Then it fires right up and burns perfectly.
Thank you for posting this quazi solution, and it has helped me tremendously. Well, at least it has saved me from having to transfer all of my music to a new digital music manager.
I hope this issue gets resolved soon

ITunes hangs up EVERYTIME I try to Upgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1.1

So I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5. I want to undo the jailbreaking so I downloaded iOS 5.1.1 but EVEYRTIME I try upgrading, iTunes always hang up. iTunes hangs up even when I just connect my iPhone. It hangs up when I click the name of my iPhone. It hangs up when I click sync. It ate all of my available space so I have 0 GB left. I'm really frustrated. Please help me resolve this. Thanks!

Itunes Hangs as soon as iPad or iPhone connected

I am running OS X 10.9.3 on a MacBook Air with Itunes 11.2.2 (3). iTunes runs quite happily until i plug my iPad in. The iPad is identified and then iTunes hangs. I have disabled automatic synching but I am at a loss as to what to try next. I powered off my iPad and retarted iTunes, in then promptly connected to my iPhone via WiFi and hung. The hangs are during the initail connection and the synch/back-up never starts.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

ITunes hangs when attempting to connect to Airport Express

I searched and couldn't find anything directly relevant. Here is my problem:
I am using a Powerbook G4 to stream audio to an Airport Express. This has worked with no major issues for almost two years on a WEP encrypted network. Yesterday I did the following:
Update OS from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11
Update iTunes from 7.4 to 7.5
Change encryption to WPA
The Airport Express light is green, and I can access its settings through Airport Admin Utility. The Airport Express is visible as an option in iTunes, and when I select it a small window pops up saying something along the lines of "Connecting to AirportName". The connection never happens, and iTunes hangs on this window indefinitely.
Any thoughts? I did the updates so I could use my new iPod touch, and I switched to WPA because I read somewhere that it is more secure.
Thanks for any help

I had a similar experience and found patience to be the answer. For some reason it took 5-10 minutes for my Apple TV to get past the "Loading Mike's Media" message. In the meantime my iTunes was unresponsive. My library is not exceptionally large (about 160gb with 57 movies and 67 TV shows).
After that initial long wait, I tried switching back and forth between Apple TV as the source and my iTunes as the source. Each subsequent reconnect to iTunes only took about 40 seconds.
I have no idea why it takes so long. I did a little probing, and iTunes was neither using much CPU nor doing much I/O during the long wait. Quite odd.

Itunes hangs during radio streaming and has to be forced quit

Itunes plays radio streams ok for a while, but eventually the music stops. Pressing stop to restart the url doesnt work, the whole of itunes becomes frozen and unresponsive and needs to be force quit everytime.
Its very frustrating as when you restart itunes it needs to then check the whole library.
Playback is fine for all hard drive content. Happens on both ethernet and airport connection.
Cant seem to find other people having the same kind of issue.
Have reinstalled itunes several time to no avail.
Any ideas?

I think I have the same problem and I am pretty sure I can give a recipe for replicating it: listen to any radio stream; when the stream gets interrupted for buffering (if you have multiple windows open, you probably won't notice the little dialog box popping), press the "PLAY" key on your keyboard. Voilà. iTunes hanged.
I've submitted countless bug/crash reports on OS 10.5 and OS 10.6. Something changed in Lion (10.7) in that even though iTunes still *has* to be force-quit, it doesn't count it as a crash and so there's no prompt to submit a report.
Frankly, I am kind of amazed that this years-old bug which probably affects just about everyone listening to streams is not fixed already.

ITunes Hangs With Iphone 3G connected

Hello there. Well the story goes: I drag+drop my entire music library to my new iPhone earlier in the day and when I tried to connect it again, Itunes hangs and needless to say does not ever show the Iphone although windows DOES recognize the Iphone asking me if I would like to import photos etc. upon connection. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes to try to fix the problem and to no avail.
Note: When i disconnect the Iphone from the computer, iTunes un-freezes and will show my Iphone for a split second before, of course, it goes away because it isn't connected to the computer.
Anyone have this happen to them and know the solution?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
I'm having the same problem. At first connecting the iPhone 3G worked fine, but now it will freeze iTunes whenever connected. Looking at the processes, iTunes will be churning about 50% of the CPU usage. I have re-installed iTunes to no avail, and even done a fresh installation of Vista, where again it worked at first before starting to hang again. iTunes loads fine if I stop the Apple Mobile Device service, but then of course iTunes can't see the iPhone.
I do also think it might be related to Vista "identifying" the iPhone as a camera, causing iTunes to get confused.
Vista is 32 bit, iTunes is 7.7.0.43, iPhone is 3G. User is not a complete moron.
Anyone?

ITunes hangs with external drives; Genius is totally impossible to setup

iTunes very frequently hangs when I am using tracks on my external hard drive. I have verified the correct xml of the library files, and the drive's permissions are good. I also recently defragged it. However, oftentimes if I am editing the tags on or simply playing a track, the beach ball comes up and does not go away. When I force quit, I cannot reboot iTunes because it remains in the dock, with an arrow under it, even though it no longer is running.
After much trial, error, and grief, I found that when I physically disconnect the firewire drive (improperly, as it's still running, and won't eject due to having its files allegedly in use), the hang magically goes away. I can then sometimes replug it back in and work again, at least until iTunes hangs once more. I am sure this is not good for the drive and its files.
This did NOT happen under previous versions of iTunes and using previous system versions (I'm on iTunes 8, 10.5.5). It is a VERY. BIG. PROBLEM.
One of its many effects is that I have not been able to get the Genius function to work on my machine, as it always hangs. The Genius setup is so slow that I've never made it much past the first step. I have an 800GB or so library, and there MUST be a way to get this to work.
Are there any quick fixes to this drive issue? If not, can Apple PLEASE correct it ASAP? Not everyone has a little bitty iTunes library that fits on the internal disk.

Bummer that this remains a problem. I suspected it was the external drive I was using and from what I read here it seems confirmed. My library is much smaller that both of the ones listed here so I wonder if it's not so much size but the external drive. I thought maybe I just had a crappy network but iTunes has been uncooperative ever since moving my files to the external drive. And I've only got about 50 gig of files. Well, I guess I don't feel so bad now. But it's still crappy.

After the last OS update Itune hangs when trying to synchronise with IPAD or Iphone

After the lst Operating system update and the last Itune update, I cannot synchronize my IPAD or IPHONE.Itune hangs.

I have a 5230. I have had this problem (or at least, a very similar one) since I successfully added a very large amount of places into the "locations". Following doing that, I now get a message that synchronisation was unsuccessful and it stops. It doesn't hang the software (Ovi Maps 3.04) but it does fail to synchronise.
I've tried swapping to another SD card with an alternate installation of Ovi Maps, I've tried synchronising with a different user account, and I've tried deleting and recreating my user account. I still get the same message. I've also recently updated the firmware to the latest version and still have the same problem.
I haven't done a factory reset of my phone as its a relatively minor issue which I can live with, but it is annoying and I haven't found a solution.
Sorry!

Itunes hangs every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into

Hi all
I am having a problem...itunes hangs literally every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into.. I use windows XP and have even just bought a brand new laptop, installed itunes and it does the same on that. It indicates to me that the lead may be faulty (tried different lead and same issue) or there's something in the phone OS that tries to start but doesn't when plugged in ...
When i do ctrl alt del and crash out of itunes the iphone happily charges itself so its not the USB ports...oh and i have left it running for hours so it's not a time issue...
I am at my wits end.

I have not seen a blue screen. iTunes simply hangs, forever, until I crash it.
I have tried on multiple different computers and it happens on all of them. ItUnes runs fine but when i try to connect it iTunes hangs. I have also tried plugging it in before and after iTunes kicks in but the result is the same.
This of course means that I cannot update the OS or download/organise music...eeek
