Itunes keeps freezing after update....

Hi,
I have had my Itunes library on a external drive through my airport extreme for some time now and have had no problems. When I updated my OS to Leopard and Itunes10 I started having problems with Itunes freezing. I realized I needed to mount my drive before opening Itunes and this seemed to work. But after the most recent update Itunes has started freezing again or just taking a really long time to load and when I access my library through my 2nd gen Apple tv it now locks up Itunes. If my Itunes is frozen I can turn off my airport and it unfreezes but I have to reconnect with my library and it just freezes up again. Can anyone help Ive tried everything it seems.....

Hi...
Has an answer been posted to this? I have exactly the same issues; and it is driving me absolutely insane! It keeps on freezing/unfreezing and has become incredibly slow!!! It takes me up to an hour to add 4 tracks to the library...
I upgraded my entire IT to Mac because of the iTunes integrations, but now I am starting to regret it!

Applications keep freezing after updates are installed...

My MacBook (Santa Rosa model) cannot seem to run any applications with out having them freeze every few clicks. It happened after updating from 10.5 to 10.5.6, with quite a few other updates installed at the same time as well. This happens to pretty much every application I run. What should I do?

Try downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.6 combo updater and install it.

ITunes Program Freezes, after update of 8.1.1

Windows XP (labtop)
I just updated to newer version (8.1.1) of itunes. When I connect itouch to usb port it goes through process and downloads pictures, once complete itunes freezes. I can not connect to sync music. I come to a dead stop and it freezes iTunes Program and I have to use ctrl, alt and delete to escape program. If I disconnect from usb and bring up itunes it opens fine. Once itouch (MB528LL) 8G is connected, it freezes and nothing can be done.
What I've done is, a search on the computer of all files for itunes, safari and quicktime and uninstalled and deleted everything. Then a new install of it all. This only allowed me to get a least past the picture download. (Then the Freeze)
I've spent hours on this and I'm LOSING IT!! HELP!!!!!!!!!! 13 yr old Daughters iTouch!!

Hi,
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.
You can also try deleting the podcasts from the iPod as others have suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1960227
+"*Delete a podcast:* In the podcasts list in iPod, swipe left or right over the podcast, then+
+tap Delete."+ from page 46 of the iPod touch User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf
If the issue persists after directly connecting the iPod touch and trying the tips in the other thread, try restoring the iPod from recovery mode. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 will walk you through the process.

Itunes keeps crashing after update

hi, having this problem my itunes library keeps crashing ever since i updated it to 7.6.2. i dont know what to do downloaded it from the apple website but still nothing. no errors nothing. every time i start it it crashes.

Me too. Exactly the same situation. The crashes appear to be pretty random. Sometimes it will play ball for while and sometimes it won't even open. The only pattern I can see is that it happens more when trying to access the Store or connect to Podcasts. I think there is something screwy with the network connection coding in the latest update.
Sort it out Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Macbook keeps freezing after updating software

Recently I took my Macbook in for repair and got a brand new hard drive. I was looking forward to having an actual working laptop and started to copy my files over. After installing all the programs and updating the OS, the macbook suddenly gives me a black screen and tells me to restart. I restart the laptop and it freezes at the white screen with the logo on it. I figured i would reformat it and try it again. Same problem happened.
Ever since I've gotten my laptop back, I have reformated it about 5 times. This is not normal for ANY laptop and other windows laptops don't have this problem at all. I'm very disappointed in Apple and don't really feel like going back to the Apple store for another hard drive. Does anyone have the same problem or is it just me?
I'm using the 13' Aluminum Macbook, 2.0 ghz, 4 gig ram, 160 GB 5400 Sata Hard drive, Model Identifier Macbook5, 1

Did you try simply running disk repair from the startup DVD?
It may also be that there is hardware besides your HDD that is causing the kernel panic. Next time you start up, hold down the "d" key and see what it tells you.
Some people recommend a program called Rember to test RAM specifically. You can download it from versiontracker here:

Two HDDs in a row should not fail. If it has to go back to Apple again, demand that they call it a lemon and that they give you a completely new machine.

Hey F.hodgkiss,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:

Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,
Matt M.

Itunes keeps freezing just after it is opened!

After attempting to download the latest version of iTunes, I had the message that the download had not installed successfully and should attempt a manual download and install. However, every time I open iTunes it freezes after a minute or so and Task Manager informs me that iTunes is not responding. I've re-started my PC several times but the problem persists! Any ideas?

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation. I will post my computer's 'specs' below. I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store. The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed. I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2.
The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app. I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there. That fixed the problem. For about three or four days. From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument). My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out. That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online.
So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said. They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board. This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone.
So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion. Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install. This helped for a day or two, and happened again. So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install. I got my computer back last night. Now, I am not saying that didn't help. Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours. Which, let's be honest is still a lot.
So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas? Or guarenteed fixes? I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people. Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
[Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome. Especially DIY fixes. (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
Macbook Pro
15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

Cannot get itunes to open after updating. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions.

Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.
