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.

  • Backup Freezes shortly after start

    I've a recurring problem with Time Machine, whereby the backup appears to freeze shortly after starting. No error message is reported and I can see nothing in the log.
    At first it seemed to be caused by my children's log-in still being active but it's not that. It does seem to happen more when my wife has left lots of applications open, including MS Word with lots of documents.
    I've checked the external disk (Lacie 500GB), even erased and reformatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled), same as by iMac hard disk) but to no avail. Stopping the back-up does nothing. Pulling the cable or turning the disk off whilst kills the current back-up doesn't cure the problem.
    The only solution is to restart and run a back-up straight away.
    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, a lot of things can cause this.
    Let's take a look at the log: there may be a clue. Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to one of these stalled backups, copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

    That sort of thing might slow it down a bit, but shouldn't be much.
    I've checked the external disk (Lacie 500GB), even erased and reformatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled), same as by iMac hard disk) but to no avail.
    Also check the *Partition Map Scheme* shown by Disk Utility on the first line of the drive (the one with the make and size). It should be GUID for an Intel Mac, +Apple Partition Map+ for a PPC Mac.
    Is your LaCie Firewire or USB? How is it connected?
    Does it have it's own power supply, or does it get power from your Mac?
    Are you running FileVault, any virtualization software, or any significant non-Apple software?
    How much data is on your internal HD?
    That info plus the logs should at least get us started.

  • ITunes 10.5.3 freezes shortly after start-up (culprit= iTunes match?)

    Hi,
    I'm running an early 2011 macbook pro (OS X 10.7.2, 2.3GHz quad core i7, 8GB RAM). iTunes has started freezing up and becoming non-responsive shortly after opening. It takes between 30 seconds and ~5 minutes, irrespective of what I'm doing in iTunes.
    I think this may have started after purchasing an iTunes match subscription, but I'm not entirely sure the two are linked. If I stop the iTunes match process, iTunes will still freeze up.
    Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I've seen a few unanswered posts similar to this.
    When will 10.5.4 be released, and will it solve this issue? Is there an easy way to return to an earlier version of iTunes without having to add everything to my library all over again, and do any earlier versions have iTunes match support?
    It would be really nice to be able to actually use iTunes again.
    EDIT: if I'm playing music through iTunes when it freezes up, it will continue playing until the end of the track. The next track doesn't play though.
    Thanks,
    Dylan

    It's possible. The technician also indicated to me that 10.5.3 was the most recent version of iTunes. Could just be that the version you upgraded to is extremely buggy still.
    Yes, lots of complaints and issues with 10.7.3 which may have brought this about on my early 2009 Mac Pro  which on it I have my system that has gone through an earlier mac pro, maccbook pro and iMac over past few years with out needing to do a clean install and then go back and update from time machine.  My 13 inch macbook air does not have problems but I do a lot less with it and do not use the itunes on it to sync my iOS devices which gave me the most problems on 10.5.3.
    I have done the deed (remotely) and itunes seems ok and stable, but now we will see how syncing goes with my two ipads, and iphone.  Testing over next 24 hours will tell the tail. If this works then I will sit back a bit and see what the issues are with the 10.7.3 OS upgrade before reapplying on my Mac Pro.
    Thanks for info, this may be what I have been waiting for.

  • 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?

  • ITunes stops burning shortly after starting...no errorm. !

    Hi,
    I have a Plextor PX-712A DVD burner with newest firm ware (1.07) and iTunes 5.01.
    iTunes recognizes this burner. When I push the button, iTunes starts burning, writes several MB to the CD and just stops at the very beginning of the first track. It sticks until I quit the process. Of course I can throw the CD to the garbage can.
    Some older version of iTunes had the same problem. I hoped that 5.01 would solve the problem...it didn`t ! HELP !
    I use Windows XP Prof. and Nero has no problems with my burner.
    Thx !

    I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say you did a network test and it stayed connected.
    On the matter of signal strength, it is possible to have good signal strength but still experience interference.
    If you play a movie from your iTunes library, start it and pause for 20 minutes or so, how much of the movie has downloaded, if you then start it playing do you experience the same problem.

  • G4 freezes shortly after start up.

    I have just had my logic board replaced(supplied by apple) but now the computer freezes on start up, or loads desktop and if left for a minute freezes up. It is running Tiger 10.4.11. Apple Hardware test v1.2.7 reports all well however. Has anyone had similar problem and got solution?

    I have nothing but problems with my G4.
    I'm thinking they rushed this machine out.
    I'm down to one option, taking it in for servicing and giving Apple even more money.
    Sorry to hear about your problems.

    Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

    After updating itunes three (3) days ago - itunes close shortly after starting with the message "a problem occured and cannot be solved, please close application" - Platform: WIN7 - iTunes 11.2.9.115

    Start with the third box in  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • 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:

  • My wired mighty mouse just freezes especially after start-up

    My keyboard works just fine. It's just my mouse that keeps freezing especially after my iMac starts-up after shutdown during the night.
    Do you have any idea what's wrong?

    Mine is doing the same thing. I am completely new to this and thought Apples were more trouble free. That is why I bought one in the first place. I found something about this issue on the support page and downloaded the latest OS and a patch fot the keyboard, to no avail. I have tried all the USB ports with no change. Is there a support number I can call with problems? I haven't found one on the web site. Good luck with your problem and please post back if you get it resolved as I would really like to know what fixes it.

  • 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.
