ITunes is freezing when it opens

Recently, my iTunes began freezing whenever it is opened. I have a video (that I made myself) that is loaded onto my iPod and some parts of it appear to have been lost. When iTunes is started a box pops up saying it cannot find a particular clip. I have attempted to delete the movie several times as I have it stored on DVD but I can't get past this section. The program completely freezes and becomes unresponsive. Help! I can't purchase new songs or update my iPod until I can get the program to work again.

I have a 2G iPod touch and just last week I downloaded iTunes version 8.0.2, and now itunes freezes. I just tried opening it, and it was frozen. I thought it was just doing it when I connected my iPod the USB. Is this the problem you're having? Has anyone figured out what's going on? I'm totally not computer savvy, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

  • ITunes freezes when I open the store

    Ever since I downloaded the latest iTunes, it freezes when I try to open the store. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but it didn't fix the problem (as I have found in the past usually works when I have a problem with iTunes). I have no idea why it's doing this or what I can do to fix it. I received a lot of iTunes gift cards for Christmas and would loove to be able to actually use them. Any ideas? Thanks.

    EDIT: I've re-installed twice now. After re-installing iTunes froze for about 10 minutes before it opened the "Welcome to iTunes" window. It appears to be able to access store pages, just not without freezing for 10min. at a time for every single thing I enter or click (including 10min. per character I type in a text box). Any help would be appreciated.

  • Snow leopard freezes when I open Itunes

    I have a a Mid 2007 iMac, 20" screen 4 Ghz memory, 250 HD that originally came that with 10.4.10 that I have upgraded to 10.6.3. The computer would freeze up on me occasionally on start up. but pmce rebooted it would run fine. However, the freezing became more frequent to the point that I ran a hardware test first, which it passed. I re-imaged the imaged the machine with the original 10.4.10.  The computer did not freeze when I opened Itunes, however, when I put 10.6.3. the computer is freezing when I open Itunes.

    I think you might be a bit confused. You can update from 10.6.3. to 10.6.8 without cost, and indeed running software update should have done that for you.
    There is no issue with running iTunes on Snow Leopard (10.6.x). If you're having problems, the most likely explanation is that you have some 3rd party software that is causing the issue. In order to determine what that is the first thing you should do is remove everything from your login items and then restart the mac.
    To remove your login items, go to
     > System Preferences > Accounts | Login Items
    Select everything in the Login Items list and hit the minus '-' button underneath the login items list. Do NOT check the 'Hide' button. That has no effect.
    After clearing the login items list, restart your mac and test to see if the problem remains. If so, post back and we''ll do the next step.

  • My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents.

    My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, changed some settings based on community threads, nothing is working. I have to close the document, open it back up and wait at least 60 seconds before I can do anything. I use Adobe pdfs for everything this is very bad. I am using MS Office 365, and Adobe CC on Windows 8.1.

    Hi Kate,
    Please refer to this KB doc. for the solution Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon

  • Help. My iTunes froze and when I opened it back up, it looked like it did when I first downloaded it.  My files are still in Docs

    Help, my iTunes froze and when I opened it back up, it looked like it did when I first installed it 2 yrs ago.  An Apple rep helped me uninstall and reinstall about 2 weeks ago, but it did it again. My questions is this:  My files are all there in iTunes Music file.  How do I get them back on the application?  My warranty expired Sunday 9-18-11.  They were helping me with podcast issues and artwork being messed up so this is a different issue. I am so frustrated and my attempts are futile.  Please help.

    What did you do to iTunes and the library folder to troubleshoot the podcast issues? Try undoing whatever you did, you can also try looking for previous iTunes libraries folder or re-creating the iTunes library.
    If that doesn't work, you'll have to import the music again.

  • My iTunes keeps freezing when I try to switch from the Summary page to the Podcasts page to try and manage which podcasts I sync to my iPod. It doesn't freeze when I manage anything else, only podcasts.

  • Cannot go to iTunes store using my iPhone 6 plus. I click on App Store and it opens up iTunes U. Even when I open iPhones video app and try to purchase a movie which is suppose to take me to iTunes store, it instead opens up iTunes U.

    There isn't currently any music, films or TV programmes available in the South Korean store, so you will only see iTunes U in the iTunes store app. You can't use the US store unless you are in the US, you have to be in a country to use its store (that is in the Store's terms) - so whilst you are in South Korea you can only use the South Korean store.
    Are there other music purchase download sites in South Korea that you could use ? You can also copy your CDs via your computer's iTunes

  • Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

    I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!

  • ITunes display freezes when minimized

    Hello,
    I posted several months ago about a Vista/Itunes bug, which causes the Itunes screen to freeze up when other screens are opened on top of Itunes. Until recently I have been unable to capture evidence of this freezing, but took this still today. You'll notice that the song information is double-displayed on top of older song information, and the picture displayed is for a song that has already played.
    [IMG]http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w121/marinoda/ItunesGlitch.jpg[/IMG]

    Update...
    I was rushed when I last posted, so I wanted to add a few more details (and a better picture). When I first installed iTunes on my new Vista laptop in August 2008, I had no problem with the screen freezing up. It wasn't until the first iTunes upgrade that included "genius" that I began having this screen freeze problem (this is why I've included my post in the upgrade section).
    I've uploaded a new picture.

    In the picture, the song information at the top of the iTunes screen is correct, but the "now playing" image is not. This generally happens when I open another window/screen on top of iTunes, work on the new screen for several minutes, and then close the new screen. The iTunes screen is almost always "frozen" at this point. To unfreeze the screen I just have to click anywhere in the iTunes window, but it is a major annoyance, especially on a new laptop; I've upgraded since then, and all new versions of iTunes have the same problem on my computer. No other program does this.
