ITunes not responding after system restart

iTunes application not responding after restarting OS X on MacBook Pro Late 2010 Model. The problem first appeared in iTunes 11 on my OS X Mavericks & is persistent in iTunes 12 on OS X Yosemite every single time i restart i need to force quit & reopen iTunes. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.Mid

I have the same problem...downloaded latest iPod update, now icon hasn't returned to Itunes and nano is in what seems like permanent "Do Not Disconnect."
This has been going on for hours...can't be normal, right?

RFC connections do not work after system restart

Hi PI experts!
We're facing a problem with our PI 7.0 system. After each restart of the system, all RFC sender communication channels do not work. When testing the connection in the sending SAP system, the connection test fails. Currently we workaround the issue by manually restarting the RFC adapter after system restart.
Does anybody has any idea how th fix that problem? <<text removed>>
Cheers,
Matthias
Edited by: Matt on Apr 29, 2009 3:26 PM - don't offer points

Mathias,
Your problem is due to the fact that SAP is not up and running when XI restarts.
there is a parameter in RFC adapter that you can modify in order to fix that
Please, see the following link and let me know: /people/community.user/blog/2006/09/21/xi-rfcadapter-reconnect-issue
best regards,

Browsers 'open' but do not respond after system reload

safari and internet explorer both exhibit similar behavior, not completely opening. Neither opens a window, and both fail to respond after posting command menu (file, edit, view, etc). force-quit is required to close.
this was all initiated by a software update during which multiple updates were installed.
immediatley after updates (starting with OS 10.3.9) I could not access the OS, as the startup would hang as it attempted to display the User Login window.
I reinstalled OS 10.3.3 from the original system disks.
- The internet connection is good (mail, iTunes connect just fine).
- The DNS server address definition is correct
- I created a test user account, same problem.
- Console shows the following text; 'Safari[359]* -[WebPreferences privateBrowsingEnabled]; selector not recognized
thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hello Jim55 & Hawiian_Starman,
Before you repair permissions, run Software Update to get OS X to 10.3.9. Then follow Eme's helpful suggestions to remedy the Disk Utility error, which Apple hasn't addressed yet.
No, I think the OS 10.3.9 Combined Update should come AFTER the fix on the Disk Utility via removing the said files.
Since in my opinion and others, Disc permission repair should be run before an OS update and all Apple Updates.
Running on os 10.3.9, I have found permissions change often enough to warrant permission repair before the update.as well as after.
This issue makes it impossibe to run Disk permission repair .Therefore the
removal of the files should be first, NOT 2nd imo
Which lead to this thread i386 of personal experience and the little itunes helper most tout to put back.
Trashing it on 10.3.9 is the better idea, it will find its way back into Start up Items. as it did on mine.
I have trashed the itunes Helper it makes no difference in my ablitiy to buy music, play it or affect my iTunes Library.
Look for this in your Console, Jim if you don't remove it.
: for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/iT unesHelper malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 13 can't byte swap it)
An apple discussion topic on can't repair permission and really a myriad of other post in regards I need not include.

ITunes "not responding" after trying to sync anything to my iPod Photo

I have tried not using my dock, switching between USB and firewire, and verified that iTunes is not sucking up strange amounts of CPU time or memory. It just becomes non-responsive and the only solution is to force quit the application. iTunes functions "normally" if I put syncing to manual and DON'T TRY TO SYNC. As soon as I do it goes unresponsive again. I already wiped out my iPod thinking the problem was with my iPod and now my iPod is empty with no way for me to download my library back onto it. This problem occurred the first time I tried to use iTunes at all after 7.0.2.

I was having problems with synching when iTunes would check for new episodes for my podcast subscriptions (which I had set to check every hour) immediately after I downloaded version 7.0.2. I tried everything, even going back to version 7.0.1 but to no avail. Each time I'd open iTunes I'd have to quickly go to the preferences and change it to "manual" before it would start checking for updates on the podcasts. If I didn't get there fast enough, I'd force quit and open it again. I finally saved all my podcasts from my iTunes Music Library in a folder on my desktop then went back and deleted them all and resubscribed. I reset the preferences to "check every hour" and it solved the problem. So, I'm assuming that there was some problem with one or more of the podcasts and deleting and resubscribing reset whatever it was which fixed the problem. Not sure if this will work for you but hope it does.

Iphoto and Itunes not responding after an Apple Software Update

Hi
Afew days ago I did the Apple Software Update and since then I haven't been able to get onto my Itunes or Iphoto, both of which I use quite often. Itunes just doesn't load at all and Iphoto starts to open the page but then that multicoloured ball appears and it doesn't respond. I am just wondering why this is happening and whether it's happened to anyone else at all? Ideally I'd like to get rid of this new update but don't know how to go about it. I'm a bit of a computer dunce so if you could offer any solution in a straightforward way I would be so grateful. Thanks!

created a new user account and the same problem arose there as well.
Then you need to re-install iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’
This process will not affect your Library of photos. However: Always back up before an operation like this.

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 not working after system restore

hey i searched this and found nothing helpful.
i did a system restore before and now my itunes won't open. it shows a message that tells me it can't open. i've reinstalled and uninstalled and everything i can think of...
how can i fix this and make itunes work again?

If you have an HP, you need to goto Hp.com and download a patch for your model of PC, alot of there PCs have issues with iTUnes after using there software to do a restore. If you have another brand, check there site.
You can also try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, disabling antivirus and downloading/installing the latest iTunes from apple.com

ITunes not opening after system restore

I was having issues with opening iTunes after I upgraded to the latest version. So I did a system restore and now when I try to open it, I get a pop-up that says "The file "iTunes LIbrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

All programs not responding after update & restart

After installing security update 2008-005 version 1.0, itunes version 7.7.1, ilife support version 8.3 none of my programs will open. Some of the icons will bounce up and down and never do anything and some of them just don't react at all when I attempt to open them. Now we're just getting the pinwheel of death then a solid blue screen. Why would this happen after an update install?

Perhaps you should try using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then reboot. And if that doesn't help, I would install the 10.5.4 Combo Update again, Repair Permissions, then reboot and try again.

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.

Itunes 10 not responding after 5-10 sec!

i just installed iTunes 10 and now every time I open it, it would not respond after like 5-10 sec. it worked perfectly on iTunes 9. I have to close iTunes by task manager or right click on the bottom to close it. can someone please help me?

The same thing is happening to me. I installed it yesterday, and it seemed to be working fine until this afternoon. This is exceedingly annoying.

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

"Avast" is the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it may send personal data (such as web browsing history and the contents of email messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false warnings, destabilize and slow down the computer, expose you to network attack, and corrupt the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage.
Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. In short, apart from the fine print in the license agreement, Avast is indistinguishable from malware, and is arguably worse than any known malware now in circulation.
Back up all data, then remove Avast according to the developer's instructions. Restart.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and then follow the instructions linked above.

Itunes not responding upon startup - but then it starts up.

I recently installed a 500GB HD in my first generation macbook, and proceeded to transfer my audio library off an external, onto my computer. I had some issues with 'dead links' (itunes would import all but one song out of an album, for example) but I was able to solve that problem thanks to genius playlists and itunes track CPR.
After that, all went very well, until one day, when I opened itunes, the icon didn't bounce, nothing happened - I "right clicked" on the icon and it said *"itunes not responding (force quit)"*. This happens every time I try to open it. However, *if I sit back and wait literally two minutes*, (it feels like a very long time) *it opens, just dandy and works fine*. How to I remedy this?

Since you recently installed a new hard disk, perhaps you should check for errors.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one ofthe following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear. Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Click MacintoshHD and click Restart.
Or you could boot in Safe Mode:
To start up in safe mode:
Shut down your computer and wait 10 seconds.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after your hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.
