ITunes locking up using advanced preferences

After going to Preferences and clicking on Advanced - I click on Burning and my system completely locks up without hiving me a chance to see the settings. I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes but still having issues. Any suggestions?
Also having issues with trying to burn playlist to CD like everyone else on the board. I select the playlist - insert CD - click on burn cd link in upper right hand corner and nothing happens.

I came across your post because, I have been having issues for a while with the same description, except that I am using separate partitions on my main drive.
What I noticed is that if I set my podcast downloads to go to my NTFS main partition, there is no lag... but the moment I set it to my FAT32 partition, the lag starts back up.
I believe that the issue is with the slooow write time to FAT32 in large drives. (And in my instance, the move command apple does to put the podcast, which writes to the FAT32 partition and removes the NTFS temp download) Do you see the same lag or alot shorter if the drive is formatted to NTFS?
I don't really have any space currently to format my partition to test the issue, but I the fact of the downloads speeding up when set to my NTFS main disk makes me think that this issue could be lessened by using FAT32.
a side note for me, I'm considering reformatting my drive to NTFS, after backing up due to the advancement of ntfs3g in linux, so this could solve my problem at least.

  • ITunes Locking Up When Using External Hard Drive

    Has anybody else had any trouble with ITunes locking up for about 30 seconds at a time. The music keeps playing but the cursor locks up and you can't click, use hot keys, etc. I'm using a 150GB external hard drive to store my music and while it's locked up the hard drive is crunching something, almost like ITunes is looking for something. All of my files are organized, no viruses or spy-ware that I can find. Doesn't happen with any other audio program, just ITunes. I've watched the CPU usage on Task Manager when it happens and the only thing that is running is ITunes. Please help!

  • Why doesn't Bonjour show up in my Safari bookmarks anymore?  I am now running Yosemite and have checked the boxes in the advanced preferences of Safari to include Bonjour in bookmarks.  Does Yosemite not use Bonjour?

    After installing Yosemite I no longer see the Bonjour bookmark.  I have checked my preferences in the advanced preferences and have check the boxes relating to displaying Bonjour in bookmarks and favorites.  Does Yosemite not use Bonjour and if so how do I get the bookmark visible in my bookmarks?

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

    iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

    Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

  • ITunes locks up after adding just 1 song

    My upgraded, removed, and readded iTunes locks up after adding just one song. It just stops responding. Then I have to turn it on over and over again just to get music on the thing. Can someone help me?

    There are lots of reasons why this might happen.
    One quick thing to check,
    Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab > Importing tab
    What's your setting for "use error correction when reading audio cds"?
    Change it the other way of what it is now, and try importing again.

  • ITunes locks up after adding music to library

    Using the 7.5 version, everytime I add music to my library via importing from a CD, itunes locks up and I am forced to shut itunes down using the Windows Task Manager. I realize that many are having problems with 7.5, but has anyone had this problem yet? And better yet, does anyone know how to fix it?

  • Selecting Burning Tab In Advanced Preferences

    Greetings!
    When I select the 'Burning' Tab in 'Advanced' preferences, my PC locks up and this lasts for 20 minutes plus. The only option is to ctrl alt delete and force quit the iTunes app. I am selecting this tab because my iTunes 7.4.1 will not burn CD's. I had this problem in the past and corrected it by selecting a slower burn rate from the menu in this tab. How can I access this in preferences without iTunes freezing? Any help would be enourmously appreciated!
    Thanks
    Walter

    The Import settings button has moved in iTunes 8 to iTunes prefs -> General.
    Click the *Import settings* button.
    Set it as you want
    When you right click a song, you can select *Create xxx version*, where xxx is what you have set in the *Import settings*.

  • Troubles w/ iTunes locking up

    When try access the store while using iTunes to report a problem w/ a download I am told I need the latest version of Internet Explorer to use the Support pages.  I have and use the latest version.  What do about this, how fix it?
    Other times, when try make contact w/ store, iTunes locks up & quits working.  Not even Task Manager will end it.

  • TS1741 I am having difficulty connecting my Remote App on iPad to iTunes. It used to work fine, but with latest iTunes and latest Remote, I can't get it to work. iTunes should open a 'pop up' window to add 4 digit code, but nothing happens. Any clues plea

    Would appreciate in connecting Remote App on iPad to iTunes. It used to work find, before iTunes 11.0 - but now pop up window to input  4 digit code does not appear. Any ideas how to prompt window to open on iMac? Remote App works OK, but says that Home Sharing is not Turned On, although it is. Both devices are logged into my profile account.

    You no longer need the 4 digit code in iTunes 11.
    iTunes (10.0.1 or later)
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    iTunes 11 or newer: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to File > Home Sharing> Turn on Home Sharing.
    iTunes 10.7 or older: Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.
    Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
    Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
    Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.
    Once Home sharing is enabled for both your computer and your mobile device, Remote app will be be able to view and control audio and video playback in your iTunes library.

    I purchasd an ITune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer. After the Download I attempted to Sync and was told that I was synced to a different [something]. It then asked if I wanted to sync to this [Something] I said yes. IT wiped all the stuff off my IPod then gave the following message:
    The [title] was not copied to the iPod [name] becuse you are not authorized for it on this computer.
    How can I get this to work?
    It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
    THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

    Hello LeaMinovitch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
