ITunes is locking-up

iTunes locks-up shortly after the application opens.
It appears that it is locking up as soon as the iStore is attempting to resume, or start a downlaod that is awaiting.
Have tried re-installling several times.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Well - It appears I solved my own problem.
I opened iTunes with my internet connection off and it worked perfectly. It appears when I opened iTunes previously when connected to the internet, an automatic dowload was in progress (podcast update).
It appears one of my podcast updates was hanging-up or something but once I cleaned up my list, everything appears to be working normal now.

  • I have updated to a new windows computer, and after transfering itunes library via iphone, the app section of itunes is locked and I cannot access it. How can I fix this?

    I have updated to a new windows 7 computer, and after transfering my itunes library via iphone, itunes has locked me out of the app section of my phone. I can not add or remove apps using itunes. Is there a way to fix this? I have authorized, deauthorized, restarted, rebooted, and reset both my computer and iphone. Anyone got any ideas?? Thank you!

    The safest way to do this would be to copy your itunes library to an external drive. For the purposes of this excersize the new Laptop would be the external drive 
    Here is the support article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Then you could erase the iPhone and resync it without losing any content.
    If this option is not open to you then this article contains ways to get your content off your iPod

  • My itunes is locked, how do you unlock it?

    I forgot to add the capital letter in my password and tried to many times, now my iTunes is locked. im not in a area where I can call them so how do you unlock your iTunes so that I can start downloading again

    If you've disabled your account by typing in the wrong password then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS device that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • ITunes is locked up on the IPad-how do I unlock

    ITunes is locked up on the IPad-everything else is fine.  How to unlock ITunes.

    Quit iTunes and restart your iPad,
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work - reset your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    ha, very funny.
    So there is a lock symbol showing in iTunes for your nano? That means it is set for automatic update.
    Change your iPod options to manual update and the lock will go away.

  • TS1424 My itunes has locked up and does not want to open.  I have tried redownloading and have tried to repair it twice.  Suggestions?

    My itunes has locked up and does not want to open.  I have tried re downloading and repairing twice.  Suggestions?

    I had a very similar problem.  Eventually I figured out it was related to Quicktime.  I installed the latest Quicktime and Itunes suddenly worked.
    I had tried installing, repairing, removing, reinstalling, etc of both Itunes 11 and 10.7.

  • ITunes is locking up during sync of iphone and ipad during backup

    When I try to sync either my iPad or my iPhone 3GS, iTunes is locking up during the backup stage of the sync.  This started two days ago.

    Thanks whatheck, that worked!  I confirm that my antivirus (ESET Smart Security) was interfeering:
    I disabled ESET and synched - it worked!
    Then I also backed it up manually, and that worked also (30 seconds).
    Then I re-enabled Eset and backed up again... it still worked...
    BUT then I Synched again, and it failed!  Had to kill iTunes and the applemobiledeviceservice with taskmgr.
    So I turned off realtime file system protection in Eset, and after restarting iTunes (with 3gs still connected), Itunes said "Verifying PaulW's iPhone" for a couple minutes. 
    - Then it synched fine (couple minutes at most - got a new podcast). 
    - Then I backed up again manually which worked (10 seconds!).
    - Then I synched again, no problem.
    Note that AppleMobileDeviceService.exe is still using 50% cpu when sitting there doing nothing, even with iphone not connected.  Have to kill it manually (in task manager - processes) or cpu fan runs constantly.
    FYI: my ESET is a couple weeks out of date (subscription expired) will have to update it...

  • ITunes 11 Locks Up in Regularly - iTunes 11 needs a "tune up" and then reissues...soon

    I have been having trouble with iTunes 11 locking up (i.e. "not responding".  I have plenty of memory and etc.  When "not responding" iTunes uses 25-30% of the processor time.  From what I gather, I am not the only one having this problem.  People with Windows Vista, 7 and 8 (even a few XPer's) have posted this issue in variou places.  No one has posted anything resembling a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

    I figured out the problem.  I installed the Freecorder 8 program and did not realize that Safari and iTunes were calling this file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Jaksta Technologies\Audio Capture\jaudcap.dll
    After I renamed the Jaksta Technologies file directory to test my theory that this file was the problem, everything was fine and Safari and iTunes had no problems.  Thanks to the help from Procmon.exe from Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) which gave me the clue to ask why was this file being called.
