Itunes slow to load and frequently locks computer

why is itunes so slow to load and why does it lock up so much?

I was able to get my iTunes functional again after disabling a lot of my windows services -- use this thread for your reference:

I haven't pinpointed exactly which service(s) were causing the iTunes slowdown, as I haven't had time to test re-enabling all of them yet.  But so far I've just disabled the services that I know I don't need anymore and iTunes has been running like a champ =)

  • Trying to download from audible.co.uk but get error message that iTunes is incorrectly loaded and i should reinstall - error message 1007.  I have no idea how to do this or why i get the message as iTunes works perfectly well.

    I am not that computer literate.  I want to know why i can't get my audible books onto my iTunes.  I get an error message that says iTunes was inccorectly loaded and i should reload it.  Not only do I not know how to do this but i don't think it needs to be done.  I have used itunes for other things and it is working perfectly OK.  I get an error message 1007

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
    Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
    I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
    It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

  • Firefox is slow to load and view pages and repeated "Firefox is not responding" message

    Firefox is quite slow to load and view pages with and I keep getting the "Firefox is not responding" message.
    I have the latest version, plus the latest Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, etc.

    Note that Firefox 36 has been released officially.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • PS CC 2014 very slow to load and operate after 2014.2 update

    I updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64bit today.  It was working perfectly up to the update.  Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use.  I have uninstalled PS used the PS Cleaner and reinstalled through CC Desktop.  The speed problem remains.  Interestingly, 3D is the Menu feature that seems to take the longest to load.  In other words, the program eventually loads, but 3D appears 6 or 7 seconds later.  I don't know if this is significant.  The setup was working fine up to the update.
    Grateful for any ideas about what may be the problem and what I can do about it.
    My system is a 3770K, with 32Gb ram, x4 SSDs one dedicated to OS and programs and the others to data, and an Asus GTX660 (2Gb) graphics card.  I am using the latest driver from the Nvidia site.  OS is Windows 7 64bit.
    I am getting no error messages - just great sluggishness.
    Thanks.

    Sorry for the delay in responding.  I had to get some sleep.
    Changing "sniffer" made no difference I'm afraid.  I have put it back to "sniffer.exe" having tried reopening with "~sniffer" twice with no success.
    Resources.  The maximum cpu resource used during the period from clicking the desktop icon to the menus in the program becoming usable is 23%.
    At the end of the splash screen when "initializing panels" is briefly on the splash screen, the line for the resource meter for the cpu went red and said "not responding" - the red disappeared once the workspace was active:
    Do you need anything more?

  • Why is photoshop elements 11 so slow to load and shut down

    it takes me at least 4-5 minutes to open PSE 11 Organizer each time, and then probably 1-2 minutes to shut it down.  Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone have a resolution to this.  I'm on Windows 7.

    I had already shut off everything in media analysis, including face 
    recognition.

  • Contacts are slow to load and scroll, 5 second delay or longer!

    Contacts are slow to load and scroll, 5 second delay or longer! Im very frustrated with my iphone 3g! Contacts are so slow I cant believe it. Also the time it takes to go from contacts to the home screen is slow. Whats the fix? HELP~!

    I've also seen the delay - ever since I got my 3G phone. Update 2.0.1 was said to help this, but I think it's more affected by apps on the system, and how often you turn the phone off. Still not enough to really bother me, but wish it was faster. Hopefully another update will help. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have 2 different email accounts (1 is pretty big, lots of data ) and the fact I have almost 1000 contacts in mine.

  • SWF slow to load, and removing sound when uploaded

    Hi,
    I've created a swf file from Flash CS5, running a video player and FLV, which plays fine locally, and when previewing from dreamweaver CS5. However, once it's all uploaded (video file, swf, html), the file is very slow to load and then doesn't play sound.
    It can be found here: http://andypowell.co.uk/wateraid-drtv-inserts-door-drops-online-banners.htm#&panel1-1
    I've had this issue before with the swf files on panels 2-4 and managed to fix it, but I can't get through it this time. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Flash is a dead web technology because the most popular mobile devices can't support it.  Use HTML5 video.  You'll reach a wider audience with less code and fewer problems.

  • IPod touch is REALLY slow to load and won't connect to iTunes on the PC

    I have an iPod touch that won't connect to my iTunes account anymore.  It is also really really slow to load.  I have powered it down and back up and it is still really slow.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Running the latest OS Mavericks.  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions.  Repaired disk permissions - no help.

    I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac).  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions.  Repaired Disk Permissions - no help.  Repaired disk - no problems indicated.  Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period.  Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

    Yes.  Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08.  Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):

  • ITunes takes forever to load and freezes my computer.

    iTunes has started taking over a half hour or sometimes much more time to load and even to play a song once it is loaded. This started with a previous version of iTunes after doing nothing to my computer except some windows 7 updates. After trying to install the new version of iTunes, it stopped on computing space requirements for literally 4+ hours before completing the install. New version still has the same problems as the last. Task manager shows it as running as soon as i choose to open it, but it takes the window 30 min to 2 hours to open, and just recently another 45 minutes to start playing a song that I clicked on. Once the song eventually started playing, I was able to play other songs like normal, however once I hit a song to stop, it froze my whole computer and I had to restart. iTunes is the only program that acts this way, I have tried at least 13 other programs that open and close normally.

    lmao so im not the only windows user to have this same problem.... i have no solutions and i hate to be a rude person  and say that none of these other peoples comments seems to work.... you would think apple support would take the time to contact us through this forum and give us their real opinion or actuall help.

  • HT201210 I can not get the iphone to sync with itunes and the iphone locked up my ipad too. I have downloaded the recent itunes 10.6.3 and restarted my computer. What do I do?

    My iphone was not synced when I received it. I plugged it in to charge it, and it locked up my ipad. My itunes was not updated on my desktop, so I just updated it to itunes 10.6.3. I have restarted my computer, and nothing is changing. I can not get the iphone to move from the screen, its stuck on the itunes icon. Help please.

    I am downloading the 11.0.2 as we speak. I will update in a bit.

  • Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

    SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

    Hi
    My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.
