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?

Have you had a look here...

  • My iTunes keeps freezing/not responding when I open the program?

    I am trying to restore my mum's iPod nano after it just died and won't work- but everytime I open iTunes it crashes! It works for about 1 minute of use before it stops responding and I have to end task, but then when I try and re-open the program it doesn't open unless I plug my own iPod in!
    Someone help me try and fix this- mum wants her iPod back and I want my iTunes working again!
    My computer operating system is Windows 7
    iTunes is the latest update (I think). Any solutions?

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

  • ITunes keeps freezing shortly after starting.

    I think it is occuring when its connecting to iTunes match.  Have latest version of iTunes and I have already restarted my computer.  When I restarted my computer I also got a message that I could not connect to iCloud ecause of a server issue.  Are these two things related?

    Oh never mind.  It's suddenly working again.

  • ITunes keeps re-configuring after opening

    My problem is my itunes keeps re-configuring each time i open up iTunes, this usually only happens after an update, then you agree to some terms .... etc.
    Now it happens everytime! I had this problem b4 but i forgot how i fixed it.
    "Please wait while windows configures iTunes" and you wait some time while it does it. I've tried reinstalling it and that doesn't seem to work... neither does removing Pref folders.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Its cool, here's what you have to do
    go to start menu --> run
    type regedit, press enter
    go to computer/hkeyclassesroot/
    find pcast (make sure its pcast and not .pcast, the one you want is nearer the bottom) and right click it
    click permissions
    during the course of this you may get a message saying you cant change anything, but you can change who can change things. just click ok.
    click advanced, then owner tab
    change the owner from administrator to whatever name you are using by clicking your username in the box
    click ok on both pop-ups to get out of them completely
    right click pcast again
    click permissions
    click OWNER RIGHTS
    click the allow boxes beside full control and read
    click ok and then exit the program
    All set! Now open iTunes normally and it should be fine. Hope this helps.

  • First time backup on Itunes freezes just after backup

    My Iphone 3G has had its first backup but freezes just after in the process program screen at 20090705..... I am running Windows Vista. Please help as I would like to complete the process.

    Make sure you don't have any iTunes addon installed (many of them are visualisers that may do other things like display lyrics and so forth). They can remain even if your reinstall itunes.
    go to the iTunes folder and backup your itunes library xml and itl files to another location then delete them and try starting iTunes then.
    That might help figuring out the problem

  • 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.

  • My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod

    My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod. First it just wouldn't open but now it finds my iPod and then shuts down, it closes it's self. can anyone help?

    The five R's don't work because I don't have enough time to restore iPod before it shutsdown, and reinstalling iTunes didn't solve it either.

  • HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts.  It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

    My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops.  Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes.  I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished.  Any suggestions??

  • Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

    Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
    It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
    Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
    What can I do?
    How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks

    Hey StephSassine,
    First, I would run through these steps:
    Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
    Increase disk space
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
    If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
    Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Select the disk you want to check.
    Click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
    via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions   
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
    If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:

  • 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.
