ITunes locking up when d/l video in iTunes U

I've recently subscribed to the Winter 10 edition of the Stanford iPhone programming course. I never had any problem with the Spring 09 version, but this latest version is locking up my iTunes.
About 75-85% of the time, when d/ling the latest podcast video, it'll get all the way through the download, then lock up, prompting a force quit. Which, naturally, corrupts my iTunes Library file, making me have to delete it and rebuild from scratch.
Any ideas here?
Latest iTunes, latest Snow Leopard.

You have to uninstall iTunes 9.** and re-install 8.2.1.
Here is a link for your convenience (windows).

Here is the mac version:

Hope this helps, I know it did for me. Let's just hope Apple will get off their A** and fix this problem soon.

  • Firefox 3.6.6 locks up when loading imbedded videos; Windows 7

    Each time I try to load an embedded video on a webpage (YouTube, etc.). My browser locks up. I can "unfreeze" the browser by getting into Task Manager and ending the process, but canceling out of ending the process. This problem did not exist until I updated to 3.6.6

    It also could be due to a defective Lightning cable. Other uses have had problems with the cable.

  • When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

    When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine".  The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv.  The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since.  All my other downloaded films play.  I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7.  Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
    - itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
    - starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
    Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

  • ITunes Locks up when Library moved to NAS

    I recently bought a Synology DS1511+ NAS in part to store my growing iTunes library. So I followed Apple's directions for moving my iTunes Library; changed the default library location to a share on my nas,then consolidate the library to have iTunes copy everything to the new location, and finally moved the library database files. However, After I would get done watching a movie, which would play fine, iTunes would lock up consistently when I would try to click on another section like music, aps, and ect... When I moved my library back to local storage no lockups. Does anybody have any ideas? I know more and more people are using a NAS to storage their iTunes Librarys, so I thought this would be pretty simple. I'm running Windows 7 64 with a 1 GIGBIT network connection to my PC and NAS.

    If it works fine when the library is local but locks up when the library is on the NAS, that would indcate either problems with the NAS or the network.

  • My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?, My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?

    My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
    Thank you

    Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS1363 itunes locks up when iphone is connected

  • Itunes locks up when trying to import CD

    My itunes software locks up when trying to import a CD. Specifically, it will import 1 full CD then lock up when trying to access the artwork. I went into "properties" and stopped the software from looking for artwork, rebooted the machine and was able to import 1 CD, then it would not recognize the next one. I tried 3 different CD's and none of them worked. I am running the most recent version of itunes. Any thoughts?

    Help! I have the same problem! I am running Windows XP SP3 and Itunes 8.0.2.20. I imported about a dozen cd's and then the imports started locking up the whole system. I had to power the pc off to get things running again. I have two cd drives installed and both fail. I tried disconnecting the network cable, and it still locked up. Any ideas??

  • "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when access from Video/Music

    When I open "Video" or "Music" app and try to access iTunes Store from inside the app, the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" appears.  I have access to internet and still can download applications from app store.  Please help me fix this.  Thank you.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

    iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
    Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.
    Paul

    Duncan,
    I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
    However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
    There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
    The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
    In previous months the downloads worked fine.
    Thanks for your assistance

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
