ITunes loads, but freezes when it checks for podcast subscriptions

For the last week, I have been getting lock ups on iTunes and Firefox. It seems it started just before I updated to OS 10.4.10, but it may have happened when I installed the update. Essentially, iTunes is unuseable. I can use iTunes for a couple of minutes as long as I am NOT online. As soon as I go online, the application freezes within 30 seconds. I have repaired permissions. I downloaded 7.2 again last night and the new 7.3 this morning but still the same lock ups.
Any help?

Me too. Well I haven't used firefox but iTunes freezes within seconds of trying to download podcasts.This is only on my eMac. I tried all sorts of things but the one that works is quite tedious. first back up everything and then delete everything and i mean everything. Launch iTunes go into preferences/ podcasts/check for new episodes and click on 'manually' that will give you time to back up without iTunes freezing. Then download "AppZapper"- http://www.appzapper.com/ or AppDelete - http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete then delete everything, download iTunes and re-install. then reload everything. A real pain I know but it worked for me. Good Luck.

I have older version of itunes on Windows Vista, when i check for updates it states it cannot connect to itunes update server even though i am connected to the internet, i have an iphone that has songs in the cloud and i want to add them to my library?

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.

Did you rent the movie on your iPad? Are you trying to watch it on your iPad?
Do you have WiFi connectivity when trying to start viewing the movie?
You should have answered "yes" to all the above. If not, that is probably the source of your issue.

HT4972 I'm trying to update my iphone 3G to ios5 - however in Itunes when I 'check for updates' it is advising me that I have the latest version (4.2.1). Hence I can't update and now I can't run a few of the apps I previously used. Help!

Following a backup and restore of my iphone 3g I have lost the use of a number of apps - this seems to be as they need ios5 or later to support them and I only have 4.2.1
When I check for updates via itunes I am advised that I have the latest version - but clearly I don't.
Any help gratefully received on how I can upgrade to ios5

Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

Help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd Gen) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When first using iPod, the Setup Assistant comes up but not 2nd setup?? Thx.

Please help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer? The manual doesn't clarify how to do this. Thanks.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

HT1725 I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I check for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded but they are not. What should I do

I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I checked for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded. When I close Itunes and reopen it still dosent complete the download what should I do

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library (if it's still in there then iTunes won't let you re-download it) and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I do not have an apple computer, I have had Itunes Previously but had not used it for some time. when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times install Itunes. "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

I do not have an Apple computer, I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time, I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them. I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file." How can I overcome this?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

If you are a Windows user, try temporarily disabling your antivirus and any other anti-whatever that is required with Windows before beginning the process again.

You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

When I check for service and support coverage its show that my phone was replaced but i just bought it, is that means its used phone and sold as new one again?
