ITunes non-responsive after upgrade

My assistant has iTunes on her PC and it has all but stopped working completely.
Upon clicking to launch it takes a good 10-15 seconds to do anything. Then, selecting anything again takes a good 10-15 seconds for a response...
Is there any background process I need to make sure is running? Do I need to make sure she is running the latest Quicktime version? I did a reinstall of iTunes (did a repair actually), but no difference...
Any ideas?

Okay,
I did as was described in the article and it sped up iTunes somewhat.
There is still a very long lag (5-10 seconds) between selecting anything in iTunes and it actually doing it.
I checked and she had neither "keep music organized" or "copy music to iTunes folder" checked, so I checked those and hit okay... iTunes is organizing.
If this doesn't help, then I am planning to backup her library etc., uninstall iTunes completely, reinstalling iTunes, and restoring her library.

IPad becomes non responsive after every file sync

I have a large collection of books and music. My ipod will sync everything without a problem. Every time I try to sync my iPad it freezes and becomes non-responsive after every file. I'll get one file on there and then have to keep clicking to get itunes to respond again. What is up with this?

Mac App Store non responsive after trying to update to OS X 10.10.3

Mac App Store non responsive after trying to update to OS X 10.10.3. Machine froze, and after rebooting App Store does not work. Force Quit menu shows two items as unresponsive - App Store and App Store Web Content.

IMac OS X, iPhoto permanently non responsive after attempted download.

I was downloading about 20 photos and 3 vidios from memory card using the iMac slot. After selecting download for all the new images iPhoto became non responsive and required a force quit. iPhoto now goes non responsive (after about 10 to 15 seconds) every time I start it. The event that would have been created by the download shows but appears to be empty. If there was some way I could delete this event I'm thinking (guessing) it might fix the problem, but have been unable to find a way outside of iPhoto. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. OS X 10.6.8 iPhoto 8.1.2

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Itunes not responding after upgrade to 11.1.5.5

iTunes was working fine. I was prompted to upgrade to v11.1.5.5. Since then the application starts, and immediately becomes non-responsive. I have restarted my system (Win7 64 bit) multiple times, and no change.

Itunes wont start after upgrading for iPhone

has anyone had this problem after upgrading itunes? I downloaded the new software and it appears to install fine (I even restarted my laptop) but when I click on itunes or quicktime, nothing happens. I've checked the processes list to see if its running and it shows that applemobiledevice.exe, ipodservice.exe, launchapplication.exe ituneshelper.exe are running. can anyone help? I'd really like to sync my calendar and contacts.
thanks

Hi chrisr2sf;
Since this is the iPhone forum where you posted you might have more response if you post over in the iTunes for Windows forum instead.

ITunes wont open after upgrade to iTunes 9

I upgraded to iTunes 9 unaware that apparently it doesn't work with 10.4.11 and now itunes won't even open, instead I get an "requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later" message and when I click the OK button iTunes still doesn't open. I can't upgrade to QT 7.5.5, as far as I know it is for intel Macs only and apparently so is iTunes 9. I can uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall itunes 8.2, but since I can't open iTunes and backup the music to a disc, I'm not sure if or how I would replace the music in the reinstalled iTunes, will the music folder be effected and if it is, can I simply copy the music folder to the desktop and then drag and drop it into the iTunes application folder after the reinstall? If not, what would be the best procedure?

Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.

System becoming un-responsive after upgrade to Maverick

After upgrading to Maverick I am experiencing massive performace problems to the point of the system not being usable.
System: 2010 iMac
Upgraded Yesterday morning, Upgrade process went smooth, no issues at first. First symptoms of problems were hick-ups in video playback, jerks in window switching. From then on over several hours the system became slower and slower to the point of being unusable. Performed system reboot, which took 45min, followed by fast degradation and unusability.
Attempted revovery actions with help from Apple support (thanks, even though the problem remains so far):
Booted system via the network into recovery mode, performed disk check: SMART status OK, verified and repaired disk no issues deteced, verified partition, no issues detected, data volume looks correct.
Attempted normal boot-up, unsucceful
Performed powerdown, followed by opt+cntr+R+P boot, no success
Performed safe boot (shift), system came back up after 1.5 hours, extremely unresponsive, but at least it is up. I am scared to try to shut it down.
Diagnosis attempts: Other than time-outs, no unusual errors in console, file hirachy and files look Ok from terminal, access very slow. Can't see any obviously problematic processes in Activity Monitor, RAM usage about 2.5GBytes out of 12GBytes total, largest is kernel with 700MB, CPU not loaded, no high disk or network io. Evything looks to me like a pefectly normal system that runs at 1/100th or so speed.
Maverick managed to perform a time machine back-up over night and all earlier back-up are gone. So no chance to restore back to Mountain Lion that way.
Anybody with similar problems, any ideas for next steps?
Thanks

Itunes non-responsive with ipod

itunes will open up but as soon as we connect an ipod the itunes freezes up and becomes non-responsive. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes but still doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions? We have three 30g ipods, could this be the problem?
Tks

After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still a problem, connect the iPod to its computer and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
- If not shown, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TS1382 4th gen iPod nano wheel and buttons still non-responsive after all t-shooting suggestions performed.

Hello all,
My beautiful 1 year old daughter pull my nano off a Bose speaker dock and ever since the wheel and buttons have been non-responsive. I've tried a rest and all troubleshooting steps with no luck. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Mine is no longer responding to anything but when it's connected to the computer, it will restore and sync, but I cannot turn it off, play music or anything else and I would really like to know a solution for this as well!

Slow responses after upgrade to lion

slow reponses after upgrading to Lion

Slower with Lion-----Same story as Texas Cats above.
Lion is killing me and my attention span was erratic to begin with...now I can't get anything accomplished.
Replaced my 80 GB hard drive with a new 160 GB HD and it did nothing!
I was told by Apple Genius Bar that more memory might be the answer but my mid-2007 MacBook is not supposed to be capable of handling more than the 2GB I have installed.
Idid the clean-up, cache cleaning, photo removal, etc. Just trying to access simple searches on Google or Safari via Verizon Fios can be excrutiating. So far I have spent $400. on upgrades, etc. and wondering if Lion should be uninstalled?

Itunes wont open after upgrading

I upgraded to the newest version of itunes and now when i try to open it it pops up and says:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvience
After that it asks if you want to see what the error report contains and when i click that it says:
The fowoling files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Rich\LOCALS~1\Temp\38de_appcompat.txt
Can anyone help?
I am running Windows XP SP2 if that helps

you run no antivirus at all?
thats a dangerous game of russian roullette. you probably have malware, spyware, adware blocking you from opening iTunes. This is not uncommon and there is a variant of malware attacking Windows computers that is making this errorless launch of iTunes.
The number one rule of owning a Windows PC that accesses the internet is to have programs that will scan and remove malware, viruses, and spyware. You MUST run these scans AT least twice a week.
Go download these free programs and clean your PC, then your iTunes should open.
1. EWIDO-a free malware scanner and remover tool
2. LavaSoft's AdAware-will scan and remove syware, adware
3. AVG Free-will scan and remove viruses
4. SpyBot S&D-will also remove spyware
IF your computer is heavily infested, as I suspect yours is, your computer will take HOURS to do this, but its worth it. Also, you may want to go to TrendMicro's website and use their HouseCall scanner. It will scan and remove stuff of your PC via the internet.
You may have to boot into SafeMode and use these programs.
Good Luck and report back once your scans have completed.
PS. It is important to run more than one AntiSpyWare program because each program will catch what another program misses. Spyware will slow your system down tremendously. I suggest a spyware scan several times a week

Itunes doesnt work after upgrade from 6 to 7

i've recently upgraded to itunes 7...and it wont open now..i've installed both quicktime and itunes..and i've checked that quicktime IS 7.1.3 which is compatible...and after i double click the itunes icon..i get a licence agreement..then i click agree..and right after that i get a error msg saying "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200).
anyone experienced this before or hav the solution??
many thanks
ken

I have seen that error message before,
What you will want to try is uninstalling Quicktime from Add remove Programs,
Open up My Computer, Browse to C:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder (There may be more than one)
Empty Recycle Bin and Restart
After the restart go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that you select QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP and download and install it.
That should take care of it.
