Itunes locks up when it starts downloading PodCasts

Two days ago my itunes starting locking up and i decided to finally load the new 9.02. When that did the same thing, I deleted it and reloaded the original 9.0. It is still locking up on downloading a podcast. I have Vista and a dell and have had no problems until now. Any help would be great. I have an ipod touch second gen. Thanks!

hmmm, one thing to try is while it's downloading, click on "Downloads" in the source list under STORE.
Lower left of the download screen has a checkbox to "allow simultaneous downloads". Try unchecking that to see if it's a volume issue.

Itunes keeps freezing when trying to download podcasts

Ok before when i had 6.0 or something like that i was able to download 80 podcasts no problem now i ever since i updated to 7.0 my itunes would freeze everytime i download a podcast and since im subscribe to my podcasts itunes downloads them automatically. I have xp btw. Everytime i download a new software its the same problem, i tried to repair it reinstall it uninstalled it then installed it again, and i get the same thing. The only way itunes will work is if i turn off the internet which i prefer not to do because it might not turn off again. I tried to minimize the amount of podcasts that i download but it freezes anytime it wants. What is going on and how do i fix it?!

I'm having a similar problem. I purchased a brand new HP Pavilion Media Center last week and installed the latest iTunes (7.3.2.6). Basic functionality was fine until I started setting up all my podcasts. If I subscribe to them too fast (ie - click subscribe on 6-10 of them within 10-15 seconds), the whole UI completely locks up and I have to hard boot the computer. Last night I was just updating/downloading a couple subscriptions while reading email and the whole computer locked up again. Very frustrating when it's a new computer!

I too am facing this problem, however a little differently. I am in the process of uploading my vinyl collection to digital format in Audacity and am having this problem with multiple tracks when played in iTunes. The first few albums I ripped play just fine in iTunes, but the last few skip over about the last minute of every song and go to the next song. As you said, if you drag the time marker past the skipping point though, the rest of the song will play to the end just fine. I then synced these songs onto my iPod and they play perfectly straight through. I was leaning toward a bad mp3 encoding process that was maybe creating a glitch but I'm not sure at this point if they play correctly on my iPod. In quicktime the song will just stop playing at that specfic point, but if you hit play again, it will continue to the end. I can say though, I haven't seen this problem with any iTunes download, or ripped CD that I have ever put into iTunes (which makes my situation a tad different than yours), it's been purely the songs that I have imported via Audacity from LP's.

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.

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

For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
Thanks for any help...

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
You may want to try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
2. Enter the following command:
netsh winsock reset
3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

HT5052 i am struggling to download new software update for ipad 2 using itune: The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

Their alternative option is for you to bring it into the store
You could google and look for some download helpers (presuming they still exist, haven't used them in years) but they're freeware or adware that caches your download to help you recover from timeouts.
the timeout is possibly caused by your ISP, if they regularly cycle routers or the such it 'burps' your connection causeing it to cut out.
You might try taking your laptop to your local library which may have wifi. Or, as the others have suggested, a friend's house with cable internet.

Why does Itunes stop working when I start to play a movie

Why does Itunes stop working when I start to play a preview or watch a downloaded movie rental

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

When i start downloading an app it shows the picture and says waiting

when i start downloading an app it shows the picture and says waiting. what can i do to continue its download?

Try tapping on the icon and see if the download resumes. Check and see if you a stalled download in iTunes - a song or a podcast - something that did not complete in there. If so - tap on that download to try to resume.
If that doesnt work - reboot - hold down on the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let the iPad restart. See if the download starts again.

TS1717 how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download stuffs up

how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download malfunctions

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

Itunes Freeze's when stopping a download

I installed the most recent update and now when I'm downloading podcasts and I want to stop them, Itunes freezes up. CPU usages shoots to 100% and the only way to be able to do anything is to kill the program in task manager. I've tried waiting for it to free up, but that doesn't work.
I'm on Windows XP w/ SP3 and a dial up connection so it takes me a while to download songs.
Thank you!

The music files should stay right where they are, in the music folder.
Reinstalling iTunes will change stuff in the c:Program Files folder.
That being said, it's always a good idea to have backups in case something goes wrong. You do have backups, right?
Also - before every itunes upgrade, you chould also back up the library ITL file which holds all your playcounts, ratings, etc.
I back mine up on a USB stick, or you could just put it in another folder on your hard drive.

Computer/itunes locks up when ipod connected

Itunes locks up when I connect my ipod (20G).I hear the "ding, dong" when I connect it, but Itunes does not recognize that it is connected, it freezes and I have to reboot.It charges, and the "do not disconnect" sign is constantly running.I can not upload any new music I've purchased.I tried to restore, and now it is back to the factory setting with no music.My itunes works perfectly with my shuffle.My shuffle is listed under "devices", but not my ipod.
Anyone with a solution?

I am having the exact same problem. Th eone difference is that on occasion, iTunes downloads my playlists yet not the associated songs in the playlist.

Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.
