ITunes not responding on start up

HELP! I am completely perplexed, my itunes was working fine yesterday and now when I start it up, within seconds of it coming up on the screen it has the dreaded "not responding" hiccup!
The error messages is as:

Of course I don't know what any of that means, I have backed up my purchased music, and I have tried to repair the install, my next step I guess is to uninstall it and try reinstalling, but I have read here that doesn't always work, so hoping someone can help, I am missing my podcasts and CES starts soon, lol... thanks in advance, I so hope someone can help!

I'm having the same problem! I updated iTunes and now the program opens but doesn't respond to certain commands. HATE HATE HATE...
I'm reinstalling now thinking that may help...fingers crossed.
I'll have no other way to load up my iPad, or the 3 iPhones in my house!

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.

ITune Not Responding message?

The message: iTune Not Responding appeard. I went as far as force-quit iTune. What's next?

The easiest thing try will be downloading and reinstalling iTunes.
If that doesn't do it, try starting iTunes in Safe Mode by holding down the Option and Command keys when starting iTunes.
If it works normally, take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Itunes not responding when I sign into my apple ID. Otherwise itunes is working fine

Itunes functions properly when I am not signed into my Apple account. As soon as I sign in, it starts freezing and says Itunes not responding. It also normally saves my apple ID in itunes every time I open the application, but now each time I do it makes me sign in again. So frustrated...how do I fix this?

You are logging into the account that you bought those games with, and you haven't changed countries since buying them ? If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod then do they show on the account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they do then are they hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 not responding on start up.

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 has been not responding on start-up resulting in a program crash. This also has been happening when trying to print. I've tried uninstalling the program and re-installing with no luck. I've also tried using the uninstall utility and re-installing Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 and it will still crash just a few seconds after starting up.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately it'll lock up before I am able to make the change.
The fix we had been using is to set it into WindowXP compatibility mode and launch the program. When launched in compatibility mode it starts with a prompt that allows you to disable enhanced security on start up. The deal breaker with that is that non admin users are required to enter admin credentials when launching Adobe.
I'm just curious why on a brand new clean installation of Adobe reader, on a brand new clean installation of Windows 7 Professional, is crashing on start-up. Are there any known issues caused by group policy?

Hi Keith,
Try closing all the applications you have running in the background and re-open iTunes, if that doesn't work I recommend to restart your machine and make sure you have the lastest version of iTunes.
Thanks

Also messages does the same thing

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

When I select "Get Info" in iTunes, iTunes "NOT RESPONDING"

when I select "Get Info" in iTunes, iTunes "NOT RESPONDING"

What you see in iTunes is a database list which also contains unseen information as to which file iTunes should play on your computer when you click on a track. Usually those files are in folders inside your iTunes > Media folder. When iTunes asks you to find a file say yes and then guide it to the actual file you want it to play in your media folder. It should then asks if you want it to find others and will re-scan the series of folders to rebuild the links. If you cannot find the file on your computer then you will have to restore from a backup.

ITunes not responding due to DNS issues?

iTunes 11.1.0.126 on Windows 7, never had a problem in the past 5 years... iTunes runs 24/7 on this machine. It has been running for days since my last reboot, maybe a week. I was listening to a podcast, then went into the store to search for an artist, clicked on an album, listened to preview, back button, different album, preview, back button, different album, etc then one time when I clicked the back button iTunes became unresponsive until I had to kill it.
I can no longer open iTunes, it always opens as a transparent window with a border and is immediately "Not responding" in task manager. Same thing happens in safe mode. I tried rebooting too.
Around this time I started noticing other problems with my internet connection. Seems like my provider is having DNS issues because certain websites hosted on the east coast won't load, but west coast websites will (I am on the west coast). I tried loading these websites on my phone through cell data and they worked, so I figured my provider is having problems.
Now I'm wondering if iTunes calls home or tries to make some sort of connection when it loads, regardless of safe mode or not, and this causes the application to hang immediately. Does anyone know anything about this, or how I might be able to get the iTunes application to run again?

Well, it wasn't a DNS issue, it was a routing issue that affected ISP customers in half of the country. https://community.shaw.ca/thread/9284?start=0&tstart=0
I can confirm that iTunes will now open and is functional. It seems that if the application can't access some internet resource immediately when it launches it will immediately lock up and never come back! No offline mode??!?!

Problem with sync (Itunes not responding)

Before 10 days, i upgraded my Ipod touch 2g 32gb to ver 3.0.After purchase the new version on Itunes I had many problems before upgrading (6 times i download new os) and after download when i started installation process - i got error massages - and after that I restored my Ipod.
*Now it's working - but when i am starting to move the music folders from iTunes to Ipod - after 5-10 songs Itunes starting to be not responding.*
+P.S. I upgrated Itunes to new 9.0 version and Ipod to 3.11 - i have 3 computers at home - and i have the same problem, please help me.+

Hi Caroline,
Unfortunately I don't have the VI that didn't work saved anymore. I noticed that it was the function Current VI's Menubar that was the problem. By replacing it with the same function again the VI started working. I had that function in the VI a long time before it stopped working properly. I must have changed something else in the VI that affected that function. Maybe I changed the run-time menu, or opened a new run-time menu for that VI. I don't remember exactly.
Best regards

ITunes Not Responding/Cannot Sync iPhone since Firmware 3.0

Since I installed 3.0 on my iPhone, iTunes keeps crashing when i connect my iPhone, i can no longer sync it with iTunes. When I connect the iPhone, iTunes stops responding.
I have restarted my PC and my iPhone and have even un-installed and re-installed iTunes from my PC.
It is really frustrating because i recently trialed Mobile Me but decided to cancel the trail as i didnt feel i would use it, after i cancelled my account i lost ALL my contacts and calandar entries and need to sync my iPhone with Outlook to get them back.
I have not downloaded any Podcasts, I have uninstalled anything i downloaded on my Lappy since the last time my iPhone worked with iTunes and nothing I do helps.
It's soooo annoying!
Please help!
Thanks.
Mac.

I am running Vista and have the not responding ever since Itunes went to 8. I do not subscribe to podcasts, TV shows or anything but music and removing the rest from preferences makes no difference.
If I have my iPhone plugged in before I start iTunes then I can very occassionally get it to work but most of the time it fails.
I have noticed that if iTunes starts accessing the Store then it will sync the iPhone but otherwise it stops responding. Restarting the Apple Mobile Device service makes no difference.
iTunes works fine with my Nano 8Gb.

Can someone help with 'itunes not responding' (please)

Hi, hope some (cleverer than I) person can help. I have a nano - working off laptop with XP home. I upgraded to latest itunes and now whenever I start itunes it freezes and if I open task manager it shows itunes as 'not responding'. I have reset the nano and ensured it has latest operating software on board. I have even got rid of all music files from laptop. I have tried (several times) removing itunes completely (including those files that do not get deleted by a standard 'undelete') and still this problem persists. It all worked fine prior to this ******* latest itunes download ****. Why are apple such greedy tossers? Please help if you can I am so ****** off.
Paul.

Dont know if this will help or not do you have norton security. if so follow this
have found a solution that works for me with windows XP. First restart the computer and don't start up itunes. Open Norton Internet Security and click on Status and Settings. Then click on personal firewall and then click on Configure, and click on the Programs tab. Scroll through the list of programs until you have goten to Apple itunes. Change the interntet Access to Permit All. Once you have saved these settings start up itunes. That worked for me. Please tell me if this helps anyone.

Encore CS4 not responding on start-up

I was just working on a series of DVDs for a client (needed multiple DVDs for menu screens for restaurant client) I've burned these before, everything worked great and just as I'm on deadline (always happens this way Adobe and we don't get to bill for asprin fees) I'm needing to burn another copy of a Encore file that was previously made and now Encore is not responding at startup.
What's the fix???? Is there some key-stroke command that can clear the settings or some DLL file that needs to be removed to get Encore to startup again?
If I need to rebuild my project that's not a big deal, that will take 10 mins. but to deal with this hanging issue's a pain in the butt you guys!
Some more info; the hang seems to be at the 'Transcoding' loadup. That's where it just stops starting. It started fine multiple times prior this startup... so I'm thinking of a couple things that was/is different during this last starup; a) I had iTunes open, because my iPhone was on cradle... b) I had closed a previous Encore project and switched to another project file. (while iTunes was open).
This is the only difference between yesterday and today...I'm thinking there's some DLL or something within the startup string in Encore that's now corrupted. Anyone know what needs to be removed (which DLL I guess) in order to have Encore startup clean again.
