ITunes hangs when i edit preferences or have to enter a password

Hi all,
I have a weird problem at the moment where if I edit preferences or iTunes asks for a password when I enter the iTunes store the whole app hangs. The only way O can get out of it is to go into Task Manager and End Task.
anyone experienced this problem on Vista Home Premium? I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
Any ideas?
Regards
David W

Hi Scribette,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the password is prompted each and every time the computer is turned ON, below are the steps to delete the password in the time of login:
Windows 7 or Windows 8
Click Win+R Key to open the RUN window.
Then type control in the RUN window and click OK to open control panel.
Select in “User Accounts” option, further options are in the below images.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

ITunes Hangs when first opening

I have iMac, late 2009 i7 2.8 with 12 GB Ram. Latest Lion and iTunes. My iTunes library is on an external Firewire 800, 7200, 128 cache HD. I have 17,000 songs. Everything has worked great before. When I open iTunes, everything loads quickly. But, when I go to play a track, I get the Beach Ball for about 90 seconds. Then the track plays fine. After that, all other tracks play fine and instantly. Here's what I have tried
Rebuilding permissions (external and internal drive)
Disk repair (both drives)
Hardware test All OK
SMART Status OK
Removed all playlists
Unplugged and plugged in RAM modules (no luck)
Changed FW cable
Trashed iTunes Preferences
Option click iTunes to change libraries
Removed Focusrite DAC from chain to internal speakers only
All other apps work fine. I have no plug ins or smart playlists. Hangs even if I make a new user account. Please help

Well I finally figured this one out. I defragmented my external HD. iTunes is faster than it ever has been (my itunes media folder is on external drive). I ran Drive Genius and it showed that my external mirror drive was 15% fragmented. You can see specific fragmented files and everyone was an iTunes track. It took 20 hours for the softwar to complete the defrag process and my External HD is running like a dream. I guess iTunes hangs when trying to search for the location of tracks.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iphone backup.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iPhone backup. The iTunes software becomes unusable and unresponsive after entering correct password (only set up today) All i want to do is backup my iPhone before trying update to the latest ios. I have tried uninstalling all Apple software and re-installing, all unsuccessfully - still have the same problem! Essentially i have to use ctr+alt+del to even close the iTunes program, so I'm assuming there must be some sort of corruption with the encryption / password setup - neither of which have been used at all, all previous backups are on iCloud and don't have encryption. I obviously don't want to attempt a backup with these sort of issues occurring as i don't think i could trust it. Can anyone suggest a way to fix the problem, Ive tried googling all afternoon without any success - most answers I can find relate to people who have lost their passwords but don't have the software issues i am having.

Further to the issue - i thought I'd try and run an encrypted backup for fun (since that's the only option available atm) and the backup hangs as well - in fact it doesn't even technically start other than saying its backing up. The progress bar never moves at all?

ITunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'

iTunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'
I have iTunes installed afresh on Windows-8.1. I have added folders (interpreter\album) to the Mediathek successfully, however sometimes when I do that I get a partly displayed screen of the folders-menu, I cannot scroll or select any folder and iTunes hangs. I have to shut iTunes down using the Task-Manager, start Windows-8.1 again, then it might work alright. Has anybody any hints what to do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hans M.

Interesting: Once I had folders (interpreter\album) existing in the folder "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" (probably from albums bought from iTunes-Store, I could copy all my own folderpairs to be added to the Mediathek into "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" and could add folders from there. That has the advantage to have all folderpairs in on big Music-folder for saving purposes.

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

How Often Do You Have To Enter Your Password When Redeeming Multiple Songs?

I pick up Starbucks "Pick of the Week" cards now and then, and I don't always get around to redeeming them until I have 3 or 4 cards. In the past, I've been able to enter a code, enter my password, and then just enter more codes until that iTunes Store session has ended. For the last several months, I've noticed (in both version 9 and 10) that I have to enter my password every time I enter a code.
Is this really "normal behavior?" If so, when did it start? I know I have entered as many as five codes with only the first requiring me to enter my password...

If you didn't charge the battery fully before testing, of course it won't last as long as expected!
If you're really worried about the battery life you need to do a test. Play several 28 kbit/s CBR MP3s, from a FULLY charged battery. The battery should last at least 24 hours. It's vital that you use the files specified, and the battery is fully charged, otherwise the test won't be accurate. Make sure to leave the player charging 30 minutes or so AFTER it appears to be fulled charged as it will trickle charge the final 0% of the battery.
If it does last 24 hours then it's down to the way the player is being used, and there is no problem with the battery.

Since the last software update for mountain lion I am having a problem when moving screenshots to trash. Now a Finder box appears saying finder wants to make changes and I have to enter my password for every action.

Since the last software update for mountain lion, I am having a problem when trying to remove any screenshots to the trash. A box appears saying "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"
I have checked Finder Preferences and cannot find any box that I can 'UNTICK' to resolve this. I sometimes take a lot of screenshots when I am researching something and now find I have to enter my password for every screenshot to be removed to trash.
Anyone got a solution please, Thanks

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
Any help would be appreciated

Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.
