ITunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor

iTunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor. I get this quite often when editing a ringtone and it hangs for 1+ minutes (had it come back after 1 minute once but other times over 5 min and killed iTunes to get control again). This plus the iTunes + songs not letting you make a ringtone (they should have cought that in QA unless they skipped QA on this).
Brian -- just wanting ringtones for my iPhone.

Try this
Go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.

    I have older version of itunes on Windows Vista, when i check for updates it states it cannot connect to itunes update server even though i am connected to the internet, i have an iphone that has songs in the cloud and i want to add them to my library?

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click on the itunes icon on my desktop nothing happens,it does not open itunes,can anyone help me with why it does not open or know how I can open itunes,thanks.

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • On Itunes for Windows 7, when I click the check mark box, the song is quickly deleted and sent to the recycle box. How do I go back to when I click on the check mark box, the checkmark is either turned on or off?

    Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

    Correct AnswerRe: iTunes 10.5 hangs during iPhone 4 sync 
    Oct 12, 2011 7:45 AM (in response to theresafromsearcy)
    In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".  Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.
    Hope it helps you too.

  • ITunes 11.1 hangs when connecting to iCloud. How can I download 11.0.5?

    Arrrrgh! iTunes 11.1 hangs on my system Windows 7 x64 when trying to connect to iCloud. It runs fine if I start it in safe mode (I have no third party plug-ins installed).
    How do I download iTunes 11.0.5???? I've been searching on the Internt for the last 1/2 hour and it looks like Apple prevents users from downloading 11.0 once 11.1 (piece of crap) is out. WHY?????????

    Hi,
    I've been able to resolve the problem of iTunes crashing by emptying the SycServices folder - by following the steps described at the foot of this comment. I've also been able to sync my iPhone contacts with my Address Book ...but I cannot sync my Address Book with Outlook 2011 ...  and thus my iPhone linking to Outlook 2011.
    I'm aware that 'Sync Services' were depreciated in 10.8 and was hoping that this would be restored in full in v: 10.9.3. I understand that MicroSoft needs Sync Services to be reintroduced into the OS to enable the sync to work again for linking up with Outlook 2011 - which appear to be blank in my Sync Services preferences window as follows ....
    I would be mighty grateful for any ideas/solutions on how to resolve this problem. Synching Outlook 2011 with my iPhone was so easy in the past!
    Simon
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I updated iTunes today (Windows).  When I tried to launch, I get the message, ""The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll".

    I updated iTunes today (Windows).  I restarted the computer but when I tried to launch, I get the message, ""The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll".
    I then did a new install of the latest iTunes version and got the same problem.   No more iTunes.
    HELP!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Accessing iTunes Store window stuck when I try to open. It won't let me click on anything else

    When I open my iTunes a window pops up saying "Accessing iTunes Store" it won't let me click on anything else....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • The add-ons tool window hangs when I click Options for any add-on

    This morning, IE8 showed up as the default browser. Also, the Lastpass button was missing. When I click Tools-Add-ons and click the Options button for any add-on, the window hangs. Sometimes it hangs FF as well.

    I resolved this by using a different add-on.
    I was issued a new computer at work. It's a Windows 7 Dell E6410, and I was configuring a new installation of Firefox for it. I had downloaded the same URL shortening tool that I used on my old Windows XP IBM T60 computer. That add-on had the hang when you click on "Options" from the Tools > Add-ons menu. After uninstalling the add-on, I searched for a different URL shortening tool, and this one did NOT produce the hang.

  • Add-on window hangs when I try to click any extension's options.

    I open the Add-on's window. I go to Extensions. I highlight one and get the Options/Enable/Disable buttons. As soon as I hit any button, the Add-on window hangs/freezes. I have tried going to Safe Mode, disabling all extensions checked, and then the extensions themselves disabled one by one in the Add-on window, then re-enabling one extension at a time. No matter what Extension it is, I get the same result, so I don't think it is a problem with the Extensions themselves. Thank you for any advice.

  • Itunes 10.6 hangs when launching?

    I am having Various problems with Itunes 10.6. Initially I had problems when trying to enter the podcast section after upgrading to 10.6. Itunes closed out. Not sure how but thats resolved itself and today I can't open Itunes fully as it hangs with a lovely spinning beachball. I have tried to reinstall Itunes with no luck.

    I have tried reinstalling...deleting the Mozilla plug-in information...deleting the Cache/iTunes preferences.  All suggestions found in this forum.

  • ITunes 8.1 hangs when copying new .m4a files to iPod

    Recently Apple has changed their format from .m4p to .m4a.
    I can transfer previously purchased albums(.m4p's) with out issue. New purchased albums (.m4a's) will not transfer to my nano or 80GB iPod. iTunes hangs and progress reads "Updating Files on "iPod Name" Copying 1 of 15". Once this happens I can not quit the process or even force quit iTunes. In fact the only way out is to force restart. It appears I can select a song at a time and that seems to work but when I select more than on iTunes hangs. I have replicated this on a 2GB iPod nano 1st Gen and 80GB iPod 5th Gen. I have several iPods in the house - iTouch 2nd Gen, iPod 80GB 5th Gen, nano 8GB 3rd Gen, 2GB nano and even an 05 Shuffle. Have not tried on the other iPod models.

    After spending several hours with Apple Techs' John and Josiah we deduced that the issue was more than likely a communication issue but it wasn't 100% broken which was frustrating. Sometimes I could copy files with out hanging and the next time I couldn't and it would lock up iTunes. Well today I took it a step further and unplugged everything from my computer except the keyboard and the iPod usb cable. It worked! over and over again... syncing and manual music organization worked flawlessly. I then added each peripheral one at a time. The only 2 thing I have connected are a 2T WD MyBook (firewire) and a card reader which I honestly forgot was connected to usb when talking to the techs'. Well guess what the culprit was... The Digital Concepts 6 slot hi-speed 51-in-1 card reader. I actually started copying music to the iPod an then plugged in the card reader and iTunes hung.... when I removed the device it iTunes picked up where it left off and finished copying the files. I repeated this with 2 other iPods and had the same result. This is a pretty popular card reader and I bet this issue will come up for a few other people eventually - so I figured I would post my finding in hope to save others the headache. My solution is to simply unplug the card reader until I need it and never while trying to sync or copy music to my iPod.

  • What do the bouncing bars in the iTunes display window represent when music is playing? Volume of particular frequencies in a stereo field maybe?

    I've noticed that songs that I think are recorded really well, as far as good and clear instrument or voice placement in the stereo field, have all the bars bouncing like one big happy family. I'd like to learn what they are showing so that I can replicate that same kind of bounce in the songs I write, mix and master. I think that it would be a great reference tool for me as I develop a song.
    It's seems clear that the two sets of bars ( 20 bars each ) are the left and right stereo fields, and I've assumed that bars rising vertically represent the volume of an instrument at that particular pan of the stereo field. But, I've been unsuccessful in being able to control which bars bounce with songs I've recorded and played through iTunes. I've tried panning both mono and stereo tracks.
    Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

    Do the following two things:
    In the left-hand pane, right-click the name of the playlist, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and make sure that "Live Updating" is checked.
    In the list itself, click the column header for "Last Played" so that the list will sort according to when it was played, with most recent on top.
