Itunes keeps freezing and have to reboot

HI All,
I hope someone can help me.
I recently moved all my music from my iMac over to an external HD as my computer was full. Everything in iTunes was working fine and the music and videos and everything is back on iTunes and playing from my external HD.
Problem is, now every time I open iTunes after about 25 minutes I get the spinning wheel and I have to go and "Force Quit" then I cant open it again and i have to reboot my iMac so I can get my iTunes open again...
I have tried downloading iTunes again to see if maybe installing it over the top of the current version might overwrite or fix the problem as read that it worked for someone else in another thread.
Any feedback, advice or support here people??
I need my iTunes...
Cheers

Have windows 7, ITunes keeps freezing and I think disrupting other programmes

ITunes progreamme keeps freezing, I think this is causing other programmes to run slowly. I think the problem is user specific as I have set a new user and the problem does not seem to persist.

Why does my itunes keep freezing and give me the rainbow wheel of death?

Whenever I am doing stuff on my computer it will randomly freeze up and I am almost positive it only happens when iTunes is open and playing. I have a lot of free space on my hardrive even though I have around 6000 songs and a bunch of movies on there. I just downloaded a bunch of games form the app store too that could be taking up space. Please let me know if you can help!

what model year make computer do you have what os are you on how much ram do you have?
go to launchpad (yeah I said it) utilities> system information.
on the left hand side, hardware should be highlight and you will have all the information you need to give us.
Feel free to exclude your serial number. you can do so in preview. But it doesn't really matter, and it would be nice to have a reference of it somewhere should it ever get stolen. it your choice.

When I try to log in to the Centrelink site computer freezes and have to reboot router but this does not happen with Internet Explorer

I have been trying for weeks to log into Centrelink web site but every time I get to the security question computer freezes and I lose connection. I then have to reboot router. Internet provider advised me to check site using Internet Explorer which I did and had no problems.

Sounds like Malware or a Rootkit infection.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

My phone keeps freezing and have to switch off and then i loose all contacts also can not turn on wifi or bluetooth

What basic troubleshooting steps did you take before posting?

My mail contacts list keeps disappearing and have to reboot to get it back.

My email contact lists keeps disappearing when I go to another page like Face Book. When I come back to my mail my contact list is gone. Then I have to sign and out and sign back in again to get the list. What's wrong here?

Hi Fishfever,
From an earlier post:
Start playing a song, any song.
Tap on the album artwork area for the song playing to bring up the scrubber for the song.
The shuffle icon/selection is located at the right of the scrubber, and the repeat icon/selection is located at the left of the scrubber. If repeat is on, the color of the icon will be blue. Select the icon until the color of the icon is white, which means repeat is off.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

Apple TV keeps freezing and snow picture

Guys
Again I need your help.
My AppleTV keeps freezing and have white dots while displaying menu and playing the content.
When I try to restart it it shows the Apple logo and freezes while the dots keep appearing and flashing (think Matrix movie). It doesn't make any sound. I have unplugged the cable/ restart it (took ages), changed HDMI cable.
Nothing. My TV is new and never had that problem before, it happened after last upgrade.
Any Ideas

I am also having this same issue. I tried both HDMI and Component connected directly to my TV. Cables are known good with my Bluray player.
I did a factory restore and it got to 1.0 software. I still had the snow effect and also freezing on the bootup movie. After a few attempts I was finally able to get through to the menu and upgrade the software the latest release, and it still had the snow effect on either HDMI or Component. It also froze in the menu system.
From that troubleshooting, I think it is hardware issue. I have left the apple TV unplugged since last night. when I get back home for the evening, I will check again and see if the long time of being unplugged will fix it. If not, time to take it to the Apple Store.
Had it for a little more then a year and it is already broken. Poor Poor quality, but that is what I get for getting the first gen.

ITunes keeps freezing no matter what I try. No that it controls all my music, and doesn't work, what am I supposed to do?

It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

If you can talk to Siri, but the screen is not turning on, try the 2 button reset. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (Power) Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
