Itunes program not responding

My Itunes program is not responding. Any ideas what I need to do to fix the problem?

I´ll take my chances and reply to this as I have exactly the same problem.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
No, F-secure AV 2006. Still, I disabled it
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
Launching QT before iTunes works well. No problem. Launching QT after I´ve tried to launch iTunes, nothing happens.
All the processes remains under the processes tab.
The itunes.exe is impossible to kill though. I can remove any other process but this one is impossible.
I tried reboot, disabled the internet connection and my anti-virus but it still refuses to start. I just get the hour clock, that disappears and then...nothing. Not even an error message.
Oh, I forgot: after I´ve tried to start iTunes I can´t access Explorer. Program not responding. So I must reboot after every attempt to resolve the problem.

  • Itunes program not responding and wants me to send error report

    I have read many posts and answers to this problem and have tried about everything that I have read. When I try to open the itunes 7 program on my desktop, it says the program cannot respond and must shut down. It also asks if I wish to send an error report. I have installed and uninstalled the itunes 7 program several times. I have disabled my spyware applications and my norton antivirus programs and then tried to re-install and I get the same thing. I have also tried to install Quicktime 7 stand alone program and when I try to install and run this program another message comes up that states that it cannot install this Quicktime program because another more recent QT program is already installed on my computer. I am really starting to go crazy here. Can anyone help?

    okay, let's try this first.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall
    QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files
    and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or
    double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click
    Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and
    QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your
    PC by doing a repair install of
    itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
    prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change"
    and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the
    PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch
    properly now?
    i tried all above as i am having the same problem, but i still get the message "itunes has encountered a problem and must close" and quicktime still does nothing when i try to open it...

  • ITunes Match program not responding step 1

    Whenever I click update iTunes Match, it goes to step 1 and about 1/4 of the way through it (scanning my library), itunes program stops responding and closes itself.  I have tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes serveral times.  My iTunes is also up to date with 10.5.1.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    So, I think I have fixed the issue.  I had to copy my xml .xml file over to my desktop, delete my.itl file from the library, open an empty library and re-import the .xml file.  It was pretty scary, but I'm good about backing up, and the only major pain with this process was that it required me to change the media type on my user imported tv shows back to tv show from movie.  Other than that, it worked like a charm, and i I am once again a happy iTunes Match user.  Probably wont won't be doing another mass delete anytime soon, but then, I shouldnt shouldn't have any real need to.
    Here was the support article I referred to.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Programs Not Responding

    I run an iMac, 2008, 2.66 Intel Core Duo Proc, 4 GB memory. I started having issues with the programs not responding and the internet slow. It was generally after 10 PM. The daytime seemed fine. I then installed Yosemite. It seems worse. I then purchased Clean My Mac and have cleaned it about 3 times. Now the problems are even in the afternoon. It affects my Microsoft for Mac programs, QuickBooks, iTunes, iPhoto, as well as the internet. I ran a systems report on the software log and  things look suspicious. My neighbor has been hacked by someone in the neighborhood. I am wondering if I have. Or do I have a virus. Are these symptoms characteristic of a specific problem you know about?  I also have a MacBook Pro with the same issues.

    This is the report. Can you advise me further?

  • How can i transfer the entire itunes program (not the library,but the actual program itself) from one cpu to another? I have the older version that has the slide feature. I can't stand the new itunes.

    HOW CAN I TRANSFER THE ITUNES PROGRAM ( NOT THE LIBRARIES,BUT THE ACTUALLY EXE PROGRAM ) FROM ONE CPU TO ANOTHER. I CAN'T
    STAND THE NEW ITUNES. I WANT TO TRANSFER MY OLD ONE THAT STILL HAS THE SLIDER FEATURE. THANKS

    Sounds like you've already installed iTunes 11 and are now trying to downgrade. To do so successfully you will also need access to a pre-upgrade copy of your library as set out below...
    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs & List views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
    If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • I have a program not responding in paralellels 7, how to I get it to stop.

    I have a program not responding in paralellels 7, how to I get it to stop. I am running OS 10.7.4.

    Firstly, you'll need to open up the Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE. From there, simply find your unresponsive program, right-click and select Go To Progress (not End Task). The Processes tab will open and your program should be highlighted. Now, press the End Process button and select Yes. It instantly closes the problem

  • I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

I have logged on in safe mode and gone into disk utility and there is no problem with the hard drive i have also repaired disk permissions and i am still having the same problem. When i log into my wifes account everything is working fine .I was wondering if anyone could help me!
