ITunes on iMac frozen

My iTunes program is frozen (the little colored wheel is spinning) but not responding. How do I re-set, please?

Hi Laura, & a warm welcome to the forums!

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

Sync iTunes from iMac to iBook

how do I sync iTunes from iMac to iBook? I tryed through Bluetooth, no luck. Any ideas?

To keep both libraries perfectly synced, you may need to find a script or separate application to do it.
If you're just interested in keeping the music the same (but not necessarily play counts, ratings, etc) you can just copy the music itself from one computer to the other (via network).
Perhaps someone with a bit more imagination/experience can provide a working solution? I've done something similar by using an external/network drive and a sym linked iTunes library, but the problem with that is your laptop won't be able to access the music unless it's on your home network.

I created movie using iMovie on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Then sent to iPad using iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. Where should I look? When iPad is connected to iMac it shows it to be in movies. When I look under iTunes movies on iPad I get movies I can rent or buy. when I look under videos I get a blank screen

Are you looking in the Videos app? iMovie on the iPad? The Photos App? I don't use iMovie but those are the three places where you should look.

Have you gone through the troubleshooting steps of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base?

IMac frozen in mail can't force quit turned off at power and done safe reboot still frozen?

iMac frozen in mail can't force quit turned off at power and tried safe reboot, but still frozen?

To do the NVRAM reset (be quick with Step 4, "immediately" is literal!):
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should.

Apple TV rentals and iTunes on iMac

I have rented movies on Apple TV. I want to download to watch on iMac but the rentals do not show up on my iTunes on iMac. How do I 'see' these rentals in iTunes on iMac?

Movies rented on Apple TV can only be viewed on Apple TV. If you want to move between devices then you need to rent via computer.
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Can't login to ITunes from Imac ITunes busy message?

When I try to log in to ITunes from IMac, I get message that ITunes can't be reached and Internet may be busy, try again later. Should I uninstall ITunes and reinstall? If so how do I do that? Thanks

please make sure, that you bought these apps, which you can't update, with the same apple-id you use to login. this smells like account-confusion

ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

IMac frozen after choosing "Restart" from Software Update

Software Update had 2 updates: Latest Safari and latest iTunes. I hit "Install" and it prompted me to restart the computer in order to install the updates. I hit it and then the screen dimmed and I immediatley left to do something else. I assumed it would just do its thing and when I'd be back, it'd be installed and I could log in. Well, I came back about 10 minutes later and found that it was at a blue screen with a swirling indicator graphic (not beach ball, black/grey spiral). It's been like this for 30+ minutes.
The thing is, I'm not sure if it already installed and it restarted and now it's stuck. Or if it was trying to restart but froze here before any installing. So I have no idea what its progress was after I hit "Restart" from Software Update.
I should also mention that I had a problem with Finder and when I relaunched it, it gave error messages rather than opening any Finder window (said something like it couldn't open). Also I had a bunch of other applications that weren't quitting properly so I used Force Quit on them. However, I had Safari open and didn't force quit as I thought the restart/update process would quit for me. I had a huge number of Safari windows open and I remember seeing about 5GB or so of virtual memory being taken up by Safari. I had force quit my other applications becuase they froze but I didn't get a chance to force quit Safari and just proceeded with Software Update Restart since I thought it would just quit Safari as part of the restart process. So I think maybe this frozen screen may be because Safari was taking up so much memory and the quitting is making it freeze. I'm not sure though.
Anyone have any ideas? Should I just try holding the power button and restarting manually and see what happens?
I have the latest iMac, 16GB of RAM (installed from Apple, not third party), SSD + HD

Try a manual hard shut down and then reboot.
