ITunes is causing entire computer to freeze.....

iTunes is causing my entire computer to freeze since my last upgrade. If I'm using the application or its up and I'm not using it, after a while, it will cause the entire computer to freeze and I have to do an emergency shutdown because my mouse won't even move. Everything is locked up @ this point. Having the iPod plug in without the application up doesn't really seem to bother from what I've seen it but there were occasions when the iPod was plugged in and the application was in use that the computer made this skitzing sound and then completely locked up. I got the blue screen on approx. 2 occasions. And when I plug my iPod up to some speakers in the same manner you plug up headphones (Sony brand), I got that same skitzing sound while listening to one of the songs, but it didn't stop playing.
It has froze/shutdown while using the application alone while I'm browsing the store for different items. This is the majority of the times it has happen.
It has froze/shutdown while the iPod was plugged in.
It has froze/shutdown while the application has been open on the computer but not in use. And this is the only common factor going on in relation to the shutdowns.
I use the same thing basically everytime I come on this computer. Always FireFox, MSN, Gmail Talk, & Yahoo Messenger running in the background. <--- This hasn't caused a problem before. And that's about it. I've had the computer to slow down due to low memory but not the skitzing sounds and frequency of shutdowns its experiencing now.
Can anybody relate to this and if so, then what should I do? Is there a problem with the last release? And at this point, what should I do about this?

i had a similar problem recently. what happened to me was that itunes was doing some kinda "reeding" of music files of some sort [i honestly dont remember the exact name of the action], but whenever it got to a certain song, it would do the same thing you are describing which is crash the computer or freeze it up. i decided to actually FIND the file that was causing the problem and when i got rig of the file and started itunes [this after having to turn itunes on and watch my computer freeze up again to acquire the song name] it worked perfectly.
it seems to me that [since the file itself was a rip of a rip] it might have been corrupted some how and so itunes didnt know what to do with it. i looked at the file and an mp3 file that should be in the range of 2-5mb was actually in the range of 1-200kb which leads me to believe that the file was corrupted.
i dont know if that will help, but i hope you get your problem resolved...

Help...program will freeze, then cause entire computer to freeze

This problem used to be extremely infrequent, but lately (as in the past 2 weeks) I've had this problem at least once a day (sometimes 2 or 3 times).
I did do the recent software update, so that might have something to do with it...anyways, I'll be using a program (say, Safari) and Safari will freeze on a webpage. I can still move the mouse around, but it's stuck on the color wheel thingy. I can't click on anything, so I usually just shut the computer down by holding the power button down, then restarting the computer. The other day, it was Mail that caused the color wheel of death to pop up. Then today, Thunderbird (email application I very recently installed b/c both Mail and Entourage crapped out on me) froze, and again I had to restart the computer.
Does anyone have suggestions of what might be wrong and any advice to fix this issue?
Thanks!

I've just purchased a G4 17" and forive me if everyone else knows this already but--I was having the same kind of stalling until I checked the running processes and saw this faxjobmgr program using 50% and more of the cpu even while it wasn't doing anything. You need to remove it from the startup items and then kill it, kill it, kill it.

Is a cutesy moving flame really serving any purpose? NOOOOO!!!!

Multiple times spellckecking my emails has caused my entire computer to freeze.

Hi, Many times I have clicked "check word" in spell check and had my iMac freeze. The " beachball" rolls and no amount or combination of keyboard or other cancel clicks will un-freeze the system! Un plugging the computer is the only way of getting out of the screen-Help! I'm afraid to spell check my emails!

Ctrl Alt Del wont work. this happens also when i open itunes and then close it down. my computer doesnt freeze if i dont open i tunes. It seems to freeze when i click on thins. Both single and double clicks. sometimes it can take an hour for it to freeze, others it can take 2 mins to freeze up on me.
An error appeared on a blue screen Which said
*stop : 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x00000000, 0xf8246c54, 0xf8246950)
I'm not too sure if this is related to itunes but may be of help to explain.

ITunes Store causing whole program to freeze on Windows 7 (64-bit)

So I installed iTunes 10.5 for Windows 7 (64-bit) and cannot open it up properly: the iTunes Store makes the entire program freeze up. I've cleared the DNS cache, closed my firewall, changed proxy settings, and iTunes it still unusable. What am I missing exactly? This is enough to tear the hair out of my head...

I can get it running if I run it in XP Mode, but I still don't have access to the Store...nobody has any ideas?

Apple TV causes my computer to freeze up

I have a Dell laptop about 3 years old. I've used to stream video from the internet all the time and with my new Apple TV (the little one) I can now let the family watch our home movies on the TV without having to hook the laptop to the TV. However, every time I access my computer from the Apple TV menu and start to watch a movie, after about 5 minutes my computer freezes up and it requires a hard reboot. If this were happening with other forms of streming, then i would think something is wrong with my laptop. but it only happens when I stream to the Apple TV. Anyone else experience this or have an idea what this could be caused by?
Thanks

The MBP is picking up the signal of the remote. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock, go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

Target Mode causes new computer to freeze/hang up

Hello,
I recently purchased a IMac G5 (10.4.11) and am trying to transfer my items from a G4 (10.4.11) via target mode/migration assistant. I follow all the steps, the G4 goes into target mode and the target disc icon appears on the new computer. From here on out, at various times, my new computer freezes or I get the spinning beach ball of death. The farthest I got was to check which items I want to transfer but I never actually made it to see the items. Any clues??? There is sufficient space/and memory on both computers if that should make a difference.
Thanks,
Randy

Then if it is OK, ask him to do the target disk mode for you. Let him troubleshoot it for you. While migration from PowerPC to Intel Macs may have trouble your G5 to G4 transfer as suggested should not cause a problem.
It may also need a new clock battery if the machine is older than 4 years. Any Mac that is older than 4 years may need it.
The repair issue which the program covers may affect the ability of Target Mode to work, and so may a clock battery issue do the same.

Importing Video to iMovie 11 Causes Entire Computer to Crash

Hi. I must say up front that I am not very Mac saavy, so I apologize in advance.
I am trying to import video from a Canon Vixia HFS200 camera in to my iMovie 11 on my iMac. I'm running OS X version 10.6.8. The other details are in the error report that I've pasted below. When I turn on the video camera, I select sync then select "Computer/Printer" for USB connection type. It will then open my iPhoto and upload photos, and then it will open my iMovie (if not already open). It can transfer to iPhoto just fine. However, when it opens the transfer window in iMovie, it stalls with an empty transfer screen and then I get the gray box of death telling me that my computer has crashed and I must re-start it.
I would appreciate any advice on this issue. Thanks!
Here is the error report I received after the last crash:

According to the link below I got from the Canon Canada website, apparently there is mentioned software to retreive images and videos from your camera.
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0300004027/01/IB66_EN.pdf
Anyhow, since you had it working before with iMovie 11, I am suspecting that it somehow got corrupted when the mounted volume (your camera) somehow got disconnected due to inadequate battery power. Which was why Canon recommended people use an AC adapter for this or a fresh battery before a major transfer of movie clips. When mounted volumes disconnect abruptly for whatever reasons, iMovie 11 goes into beserk mode trying to restore that connection resulting in crashes or slowdowns.
To restore iMovie 11 back to where it was.
You need to delete iMovie's plist and cache files, 2 files located in your Home/Libary folder
com.apple.iMovieapp.plist (document)
com.apple.iMovieapp        (folder)
After this, you can either do 2 things. One is run disk repair utility and execute repair permissions on the drive that iMovie resides (probably your main boot drive) or download a free utility called OnyX which is a free OSX maintenance software to do that plus some extras including clearing caches, which sometimes are the causes of system crashes.
It is available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/index.php and it will help repair permissions and clear caches. Please download the appropriate version for your OSX (Snow Leopard).
Once that is done, reboot your computer and run iMovie 11. Connect the cable to the camera and computer and do your import. Make sure you have a fresh charged battery on your Canon. This should work.
Regarding Apple Care. The easiest way to deal with this is deal your issues with a Genius at the Apple Store. They will help you with the registeration of Apple Care. Just because you bought Apple Care does not necessarily mean you are registered and you should register it as soon as you got the system and Apple Care together.
Apple is a good system, but in the quest of making the system super friendly, it can sometimes be daunting to get it working again because unlike the PC, the interface itself makes it challenging to do low level stuff.

Whay am I having script errors with some of my websites only on Firefox, not other browsers, causing the computer to freeze for a bit at a time.

I keep getting "script" errors and my computer locking up while using Mozilla Firefox on some of my websites. I don't have this problem while using Internet Explorer. Why has this just started and how can I resolve this? I like Firefox, but will have to start using a different browser if this doesn't get resolved.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

PE9 Burn failure at 95% causes entire computer to crash

Hi - I hope someone can help.
I am puttig together clips from mobile phones and various other devices of the first year of a babies life, it includes audio tracks on the soundtrack line as well as the audio and video on track 1. I have also included a pan&zoom slideshow of images and the total length is approx 1hr20mins.
I am not sure what the problem is, but after the disc menus (there are 4) have all encoded, the programme gets to 95% and then crashes, but it doesn't just crash the programme, it actually crashes my whole system whereby I can't use my mouse, or the keyboard to close anything.
Last week the system was working perfectly, and I have tried saving the whole movie as an mpeg to my computer which has worked perfectly, but there is something preventing the burn to finish.
I am using a Dell XPS 17 with intel i5 core processor, to hard drives (C and D) with 1TB RAM total. I use an Nvidia graphics card and have RealTek HD audio. (not sure if you need all that or if it's even the right stuff to tell you!)
Please help!!

You've probably got a number of issues going on that are overloading the program. It's also possible you don't have enough clean, freshly defragmented space on your C and D drives. Even if these drives are huge, fragmentation to keep Premiere Elements from grabbing the contiguous space it needs. You are working a) an unusually huge video for a DVD (DVDs can only hold about 70 minutes of video), b) you may be using unnecessary large photos (see below) which can choke the program and c) you don't say where your video is coming from, but Premiere Elements needs to work much harder on video that's not miniDV, HDV or AVCHD -- and these elements are all combining into a program meltdown.
First, when you set up your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select? Have you ensured that this setting matches precisely your video footage? If it does, you should see no red lines above the clips on your timeline before add effects to them. Is this the case in your project?
Second, have you ensured that your photos are not larger than 1000x750 pixels in size? Using photos directly from a camera (some of which can be many times video resolution) are the chief cause of program choke.
Have you rendered your timeline (press Enter) whenever you see red lines above your clips on the timeline? When your timeline is rendered (the red lines turn green) your program will perform more efficiently and you'll have less issues with transcoding your DVD. However even this does not overcome the issues listed above.

What is causing my computer to freeze up and have to be unpluged to restart it.

HP Pavilion p2 Series.
Several times a week my computer freeses up and the only way that I can get it to work is to unplug it and then plug it back in and restart it. Then it works fine untill it happens again.    This happens several times a week (3 to 4).
I am using all the hard ware that came with it with the addition of a wireless internet atachment. Do I need to return it to the company for the warranty? Or is it something that I can fix or my computer guy.
Sabrina

Sabrina,
It would help if you provided the full model name like p2-1105wb, or whatever it is - gives us a bit more info to work with.
If the PC is new and in the return policy time from where you purchased it - returning it for a different one is an option.   If it is past that date, if it's still in its one year warranty period, you can contact HP support line for assistance.
I'd try to make sure that the PC and all its peripherals (printer, monitor, etc) are plugged into the same power strip, to ensure you don't have some sort of power issue that could cause a problem.    Anything else you can provide to give us more insight can help.

Hello!
some virus attacks through flash player. As I've got an old

Microsoft gives an alert that they detect such attacks during

I'm really sorry for you, adobe refers to uses conditions and
disclame any interest in that sort of problem. If I don't find a
solution for me,
1/i'll reinstall my system
2/i'll never use flash player in the future except if they
secure their soft

My iTunes store freezes my entire computer when I try to use it. How can I sort this out?

When opening my itunes store, my entire computer freezes. In general my itunes works, allowing me to listen to my music still, but as soon as I enter the store my entire laptop freezes and I have to turn my laptop off manually. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, but this hasn't remedied the problem. Is there anything that can be done in order for me to use my itunes store again?

Hi simplytorilove813,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone becoming unresponsive, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
