ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed. Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
Really annoying.
If you find a fix please, please let me know, I have just been throwing hardware at it with no joy at all

DHCP only works for wireless clients on Time Capsule. How to fix?

Hi All,
I have a question concerning the DHCP server on my Time Capsule. I'm posting here because I think you network pros lurking in this forum probably have way more insightful advice than the n00bs in the Time Capsule forum
My DHCP server on the Time Capsule only works for clients connected wirelessly to that specific access point; clients plugged directly into the network via ethernet and through other APs do not receive a DHCP assignment from the Time Capsule.
How can I get the Time Capsule to serve DHCP addresses to EVERYONE on the network, not just clients connected via the Time Capsule?
Thanks,
Chris

I don't know that TC provides that. Switch the TC over to its bridged mode (also known as an Access Point or AP), and run a DHCP Server on Mac OS X Server (fodder for this forum) or a DHCP server on another available device. Less desirable though feasible (so long as the IP address pools are coordinated and non-overlapping with other pools or static addresses), run multiple DHCP servers.

Old itunes only works for my computer??

So I have tried to download the new itunes but I always get an error to reinstall it and it never opens. Quictime as well says that apple application support needs to be installed but it is installed. I downloaded the old itunes 8.1 and it opened on my computer. Why is this and can anyone help?

Go through the additional steps as mentioned by "turningtest2" below and see if it works and if you still face the same issue then please let us know what all steps and how did you follow it.

anything just please help

One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price. Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.

I know I am a luddite but if I am streaming content on my Ipad from a TV station can I get it to appear on Apple TV or does it only work for things in my itunes library?

Welcome to the Apple Community.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

Hi,
I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon ...
You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?

- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

Galaxy Note II Unresponsive for minutes at a time

I'm on my 3rd galaxy note 2. My first one had an overheating problem that caused the battery to last for 2 hours even though it was idle. They ended up replacing it for me. My 2nd one was actually perfect. I had zero problems with it for nearly a year until the day after the 4.3 update, the screen went off and never came back on. I just got my replacement about a week ago and I'm having an issue with the screen becoming unresponsive for minutes at a time.
I factory reset the phone yesterday thinking that maybe I had a rogue app installed but it seems that any time I try to launch a game or if I try to browse the internet while an app is updating, the phone is unusable for a few minutes. It's like it can't multitask. Eventually it'll come back with the phone at my home screen with my background image gone, but eventually it comes back too. It's similar to when windows explorer crashes and it reloads. I'll go through the same process for 2 or 3 more times before the game finally launches or the internet browser is finally usable.
Before I call this phone defective, I was wondering if it's a problem related to 4.3 that I should be aware of? I installed a monitor and it looks like with no apps open, from a fresh reboot my ram is 50-80% used which doesn't leave much room for opening apps or playing games. I even installed a virus protection and scanned for a virus (i know viruses on smartphones is a stretch) and it returned no issues.
Any ideas? I could factory reset it again, but I just did that last night and it didn't help still having the same problem with very minimal apps reinstalled. One note, I factory reset it with the restore from backup functionality turned off, so the apps I did install were from scratch, not my google account.

I decided to call in. I tell the rep my problems and he tells me to launch the phone in safe mode. Done. I could reproduce the issue. It then says wifi unstable. The phone freezes with wifi on. Tells me to turn the wifi off. No more freezing while in safe mode, I guess wifi is the problem didn't think that was an issue before. He tells me that wifi issues have been reported but none of those issues cause the phone to freeze, he said that samsung told them to tell customers to turn that feature (ie: wifi) off until the next software update. He said samsung is working on a fix for the wifi issues but said there's no eta. I asked him for his gut feel and he said phones that are newer than 18 months normally get priority, given that the note 2 was release in november of 2012 and we're in 2014, that he estimated 3-4 months for the next update. I know I can't hold him to that but even if he's right, I have to leave wifi off for 3-4 months?...Now to the best part, "Since there is no freezing with wifi off in safe mode, and in safe mode the phone behaves in the state samsung designed it to be in, I've determined that it's not a hardware or operating system issue, so there's nothing I can do for you. I'm sorry I couldn't send you a new phone or resolve this problem for you, I hope you find a solution for the software issue you're having, good night."
Rather than get mad I realized I wouldn't get anywhere with him so I didn't try to push the issue. I know I have unlimited data so it's not that big of deal, but wouldn't you consider the phone not working regularly with wifi turned on a hardware or os system problem? It's not like I can uninstall and reinstall wifi. The drivers are embedded in the system and since it's a refurb phone, who's to say that the parts that were refurbed are really factory oem?
Now I'm stuck with a phone that is unusable randomly for 3-5 minutes using the phone normally with the mobile network/wifi because the agent didn't consider the problem to be hardware or os related and the only way to keep it from having issues is to not turn on wifi and keep the phone in factory default settings.
I'm not going to threaten to leave or go somewhere else because it would serve no purpose, maybe that's why there was no attempt made to help me other than saying no from the beginning of the conversation, but in my 15 years of being a loyal customer, you would think "i hope you find a solution on your own" would be after sending me a new device if the problem persisted.
