ITunes keeps freezing during songs

My itunes just keeps freezing every few seconds, during songs.
Looked for solutions on forums, nothing helped, saw somene suggesting to format the macbook pro, so i did it and it's problem presists.
This all started when I downloaded the new itunes version (11) by the way.
help would be appreciated

Hi Kengc2,
I'm having the same problem as you.
Running
OS: Win 8 64bit
Ram: 8GB
Intel Core i7 - 2600k @ 3.5GHz
Must be something in Windows 8, as I did not have any problems with Win 7.
Having said that my itunes foldered is stored on my NAS so not sure is the slow network speed is causing the issue.
Interested to know whether windows makes a hot fix or whethers apple are secretly trying to get more Apple customers

  • My iTunes keeps freezing during syncing and wont let me put any music on. What do I do?

    I have a PC and the newest iPod touch. I was receiving error message -54 while syncing recently so i checked on this site and found out that some of my files could be locked. Sure enough I went through all of my files, found and deleted all the locked ones and wiped my itunes. I then kept getting a error message telling me that the sync session couldn't start. Then I wiped my ipod and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. But each time I try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes and I have to restart the entire program. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I have tried everything I could, and have had no luck. The program keeps freezing on me and doens't allow me to sync my ipod or my ipad, so it would seem to be a problem with my itunes but I don't know what to do, nevermind how to fix it.

    You will lose all of the content on the ipod, but you will have to restore.  If you cannot then follw this:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Your "friend" is not much of a friend.

  • ITunes keeps freezing during a sync with IPhone 3Gs?

    I have repeated issue with ITunes syncing with my IPhone.  It keeps freezing while backing up the data.  I know there is an order to uninstall and reinstall the components of ITunes but I cannot find what it is.  Can you help?

    Check this thread out -> iTunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos
    Try unchecking the "Include Videos" option on the Photos tab in iTunes. You can workaround the issue by adding the videos to your iTunes library and syncing them along with movies and TV shows.

  • Itunes keeps freezing during iOS 5 update/restore

    A short while ago I tried updating my 3rd Generation ipod touch to iOS 5 however I came across a problem. It seemed like the os finished updating and my itunes was supposed to sync everything back onto my ipod however it froze around 40% during the syncing part so now all of my songs and vids are un-synced. On top of itunes freezing it actually caused my entire laptop to freeze. I hard booted it, opened itunes, and a message came up saying to continue restoring it from the last backup time; I tried that however my itunes/laptop froze again. I noticed once before my itunes freezes whenever I synch a lot of files, not sure if that's the problem now but I'm really getting annoyed with it now. I’m going to try the wi-fi sync to see if that will keep it from freezing on me. Does anyone have any idea what I should do to stop the freezes?

    I'm not sure why I can't edit my question but here's a short update.
    After I tried the wifi sync it pretty much was the same as before, no songs, videos, or pictures, and only a handful of apps were on it. I tried using the restore to previous backup of my device which finished in 5 minutes and my ipod restarted itself. However, during the restart my itunes came up with an error saying "Itunes was interrupted while restoring of the ipod. Would you like to restore this ipod again now?" I saw this message not too long ago which was when it froze 40% through the restoring process. Just to reiterate my problem, I can't sync or restore my ipod from the backup because it's either "interrupted" or my itunes freezes.

  • ITunes keeps freezing during playback on windows 8

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 is freezing periodically (30-40 times per day) for up to 3-5 minutes, regardless of what I'm doing.  Note, this does not happen during any specific activity, but during simple music playback.     When this happening, iTunes shows in the Task Manager as "Not Responding". 
    My PC Specs:
    OS: Windows 8 64bit
    Ram: 16GB
    Intel Core i7-3770KCPU @ 3.50GHz
    I did not have this problem with iTunes in Windows 7.  I believe that all of my settings are the same.
    I have tried:  elevating the process priority in Task Manager.
    Running iTunes as the Administrator (program properties on shortcut).
    Thanks,

  • My Ipod keeps freezing mid song

    Hiya i have a 6th gen nano, which keeps freezing during songs. This has just started over the past couple of days. Anybody know what i can do to stop/fix this?
    Many thanks

    in the new version of software the ipod now requires that you fully connect the headphones before use because alot of people would be jogging and if it came off of the clip the ipod would immediatly would fall to the floor and crack and since accidental damage is not covered apple just made sure to give a warning if they are not using it correctly
    you may also notice that the fm radio may not work or can't find a signal, connecting the headphones all of the way will solve this issue as well
    just look at this example

    My iTunes keeps freezing everytime I try to download a purchased song. Working 10.5.8. Help!

    You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
    But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

  • ITunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    iTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist on my iphone (4 I thnk).  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand sideiTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

  • ITunes keeps freezing on me.

    I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and previously when using iTunes (running latest software) all has been ok. Over the last few days I have noticed that Itunes keeps 'freezing' . when I click on the icon, iTunes opens, then tries to connecyt to the Store. The progression bar stops at half way and the whole programme freezes. I hav etries deleting and re installing, but still the same problem. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Chris 

    I have this issue too. I have tried all the things suggested on other posts but none work.
    Re-Installed iTunes ........
    Shutdown restart .......
    Used Task Manager to see if syncserver.exe was running on my other account but could not find it...
    Nothing works ......... but I can replicate the problem each time I select Preferences.
    I have just openned up 2 User accounts on the computer and from what I have read it seems that the problem is restricted to computers with more than one User Account.
    Why oh why do Apple make it such hard work to run 2 of it's purchased devices off one computer, if they could only work on a way to sort this problem out we wouldn't need to go around the houses to try to find fixes.

  • 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.
