Itunes not responding, itunes not responding

Help.
I am running Itunes 10.5.3 i belive and over the course of the last week I cannot start it without it freezing.  I cannot sync my iphone or ipad to it because it just gives me pinwheels.

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes. Also iPod seems disabled/locked showing  "do not disconnect". Not responding to anything. Any help please.

    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • Computer slow and not responding since installation of new iTunes update

    Good Morning,
    I downloaded the new iTunes update two days ago.  As soon as I did it my computer was freezing up and none of my programs would respond.  I uninstalled it as my computer was working fine.  I did the update again and the same thing happened.  So this time I uninstalled iTunes only, not Quick Time and my computer is fine.  Is there anyway I can get a link to download the previous version?  I can not do a system restore because my compute does not have one for some reason.  I have tried that.
    Also my computer's CPU usage runs normally at anywhere from 4% to 12%, both times after I did the update, it was running at 100% all the time.  I could not shut it off or close any programs.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

    Many thanks Matt - when I spoke to my son last night he did say the anti-virus programme might be the cause, so he told me how to re-install the old Thunderbird version which worked, and to tick the option which says 'allow me to choose whether to install new versions'. So far so good! Very grateful for your help - thanks.

  • ITunes 7.7 Not responding

    Hi,
    I've downloaded iTunes 7.7 today and it will not work at all. It is stuck on 'application not responding'. My iTunes library is located on an iomega external hard drive. To test if this was the reason for the error I ejected the hard drive and iTunes would then start up.
    Obviously I want to access my music library on my hard drive, does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Okay. I got my iphone 3G delivered yesterday, popped in the SIM and plugged it in to my MBP and up it pops in iTunes no problems at all, registered it okay and synced it okay, put on some music and a video oaky, played around with some settings re-synced it okay. Disconnected it once or twice and reconnected it and synced it okay. Anyway you get the picture, all was well, until I did two things with the iphone disconnected from the laptop. 1st I downloaded an app from the app store with the phone, the one that turns your iPhone into a light saber, yeah I know - but I got several minutes or amusement from it. 2nd, I created 4 ringtones using garageband and some music that I had got from CD then using garagebands share option I sent these 20sec clips to iTunes and they appeared in the ringtone folder.
    Okay all okay so far, until I connect my phone again and iTunes won't respond with the iPhone connected. I deleted the iPhone app and the ringtones, it then says that the iPhone is not readable or writeable. At this stage I plug the iPhone into another mac and it pops up straight away in iTunes.
    I download iTunes 7.7 again onto the MBP and re-install it, nothing changes. I then back up my music and trash iTunes completely off the MBP and re-install iTunes and BINGO it sees the iPhone no problem, I then spent another hour uploading my music back into iTunes again.
    All is working okay now, but I'm at a loss as to explain what caused this in the first place, can anyone shed an light on this one for me.
    Many thanks.

  • Itunes 9.0.1 not responding

    I recently upgraded to itunes 9.0.1 on my mac.
    I've never had any problems with itunes before.
    But now, when I open it immediately tries to load genius, gets as far as "gathering information from your library" and then it freezes and the little "not responding", spinny wheel thing comes up.
    I've tried to stop it from attempting to load genius. But I don't seem to be able to.
    The only way I can get out of it is to force quit itunes.
    I know all my music is still there, because I can search for it in the finder. It opens in itunes and starts to play. But itunes is essentially frozen and it will only play the one song at a time, when I open them through the finder.
    I really need to get this sorted out as I'm going insane without my music.
    Can anyone please help resolve the issue?

  • Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

    Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
    Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks.  Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time.  It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.).  In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second.  This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second.  Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly.  Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable.  Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen.  I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background.  Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks).  My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background. 
    I really don't understand:
    1.  Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file.  Even converting a single track takes a few minutes.  I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
    2.  Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking."  It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
    3.  Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running?  I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
    I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes).  However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer.  Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change.  I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

    Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
    As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

  • ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

    I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

    Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

  • ITunes/Podcast not responding

    So, every time I've tried bringing up iTunes for the last 2 hours, the program comes up, starts to download some podcast updates, and immediately stops responding -- leaving me no option but to close it. I tried deleting it and reinstalling, but the problem still persists, freezing before I can even try to do anything about it. I can usually get it to start playing one song, but the second it starts downloading podcast updates, it freezes.
    Anyone know of any kind of solution?

    The iTunes Store caches feeds; when a feed goes dead the Store continues to display the episodes in the feed as it last saw it and will do so until the feed is restored or the podcast is taken down.
    I don't know how you've managed to do it, but as you say iTunes is now looking for a feed at the URL of your web page - there is a page there but as it's not a feed iTunes can't make any sense of it. The actual feed doesn't contain the redirection tag which could have caused this.
    Your best bet - and I can't promise it will work - is to email them at [email protected] - give them the URL of your podcast:
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/bournemouth-vineyard-church/id361822953
    and ask them to direct it to the feed URL.

  • ITunes is not responding!

    Ever since this past friday iTunes has not been responding. I will open it, and nothing looks different about it. Except, you can't click on anything (and my computer is not frozen).
    So, i go down to the task bar, right click on iTunes, and select close. Then a message telling me the program is not responding pops up and i click end now. Windows says it is trying to find a solution to the problem but it never does.
    I have tried restarting my computer, opening iTunes with nothing else open, waiting to see if it's just loading, but nothing works. Help!

    hey b! whats up?! I have discovered a pattern! for anyone who is experiencing this same problem... if you try to modify the information on a group of videos you must do it one by one and when the video is playing... if you try to modify them all at once it will freeze.
    This is basically what I have found out... I don't know how to get itunes back to normal but at least I can more or less control de situation...
    Thanks!!!!

  • Itunes goes not responding after add file or folder

    After running itunes for several years on my computer, the programs becomes "not responding" when I try to add a file or folder or import. Upon selecting File Menu > Add file or add folder, I get the hour glass cursor and no other action (no windows open, no error messages). I have to go to task manager and kill itunes in order to get the program functioning. I have uninstalled itunes and re-installed it and continue to have the same issue. Any ideas on what I should try next?
