ITunes "opens" but why doesn't it respond?

My iTunes "opens" but it doesn't respond nor shows anything after "openning." I attatched some pictures showing the process of me openning iTunes. It takes up 25% of my CPU and doesn't move.
before-
After attempting to openning iTunes-
Task manager-

Mine was doing the same after last update on a WIN 7 64 platform. Wouldn't open at all, or would open then crash immediately. Fixed it by follwing the instructions here to completely uninstall it and other parts......you MUST do it as instructed.

I am unable to sync usic to my touch Ipod..When I plug it into my laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' along with the name of my Ipod does not apperar.
My Ipod and Itunes are upto to date. After Itunes opens a small box with the word Ipod appears near the top of the right side of the screen. Then screen will go through the five steps of syncing. Afterward, still nothing has transfered to my Ipod(The box next to the songs I wanted were check)
ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

Not really! Anyhow, what do you want to achieve. The only things you can access in your iPad outside of using iTunes are photos and videos. [Locate the iPad as any other external device through Windows Eplorer or Finder and dig through the folders.]
You are fortunate that iTunes opens when you connect the iPad since many other users have difficulty in achieving this. It is from there that you can manage what you want synced to the iPad.

Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

I thinks some folks got it to work by updating the PC's DirectX stuff
Here is a post by b noir on that

First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Hold the shift key upon boot, that will disable any boot loading third party kernel extension files.
Once you get in:
1: backup your user file folders to a external storage drive
2: go around and update all your third party software everywhere, including right clicking on third party system preference panes and removing them if necessary
3: any third party software that can't be updated, consider removing.
4: Look in your Console log files for "kernal protection" type messages to get a clue what's causing your problems.
Read about Gray, White and Blue, Kernel Panics here, they are usually always caused by third party software incompatibilities, but not always.

Open the Security pane of System Preferences and set it to require a password to unlock each secure pane. This is designed to stop people using the computer from changing the settings and won't do anything if an issue on the computer itself causes the change.

Why is the artwork showing in my iTunes music but it doesn't transfer to my ipad

Why is artwork from downloaded albums shown in iTunes but it doesn't always transfer to my iPad

Correct, as games downloaded within iTunes will be for iDevices only. You need to sync them to your iPad, iPod or iPhone.

ITune opens but wont respond HELP!

When I click on the icon iTunes appears onscreen but its frozen!? If I "ctrl-alt-del" it says that its not responding?? The the following error message appears:
saAppName: itunes.exe saappuer 6.0.0.1.8 szmodname: hungapp
szmodver: 0.0.0.0 ofnet: 00000000
I have uninstalled/reinstalled/uninstalled/reinstalled. I even tried loading standalone quicktime and nothing.
When I tried to load my old itunes (from first CD) it says that "itunes Library.itl" could not be read as a newer version of itunes had been made or something.
I have a headache!
I have followed the steps on here i.e. turn off NIS etc but it still comes up and freezes.
I plugged in my ipod, which still has the music on it thankfully, and it appeared in the itunes menu but thats as far as I have managed to get.
HELP!

I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes and nothing seems to help. It has something to do with Norten Internet Security that does not let itunes connect to the internet, which in turn crashes itunes.
I have spent hours trying to sort it out. But no matter what I do itunes still does not respond.
Luckily the ipod still has it tunes, otherwise I would cry!

Itunes opens, but not ipod

Itunes open, but I have to disconnect the usb cable and reconnect for the ipod 'symbol' to be seen. i checked up preference and I don't see anything to set to automatically open 'ipod' while itunes launches.
any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I recently downloaded music from the iTunes store but it doesn't play on my iPod

I recently downloaded music through the iTunes store and synched it manually to my iPod nano (5th generation) and while it shows up on my iPod when I scroll through my list of artists/songs/albums it will not play any sound if selected and will not play through at all. At the very best all it will do is skip ahead 1 to 2 songs. What do I need to do?
I think it's also worth noting that the songs work on my other devices (laptop and iPad mini) absolutely fine with zero issues.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

ITunes opens but not without annoying "Corrupt File" message.

My iTunes (whether iPod is connected or not) will open, but I get an annoying message popping up and I have to check the licensing agreement each time. The message says:
"iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings...\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
Besides running Chkdsk (which I don't know how to do anyway), what can I do about this? iTunes works fine once I open it, but I'm sick of seeing that message every time.
Dell Latitude D620 Windows XP

sorry to butt in Rachyl, but i don't think this is actually one of the ipod chkdsk errors. the message path for it is referencing the path to an itunes preference file:
"iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings...\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml
... so in this case, i think we'd better take the message at its word and run a chkdsk over the C drive.
for instructions on how to run chkdsk (and guided help if you'd prefer to run that), see this MS KB doc:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.
