ITunes stops responding when casting to appleTV

I am trying to cast media from my iTunes on a windows 7 sony vaio notebook to my appleTV but when I click the airplay symbol it simply stops responding. The same happens if I enable home sharing, it imediatly stops responding.
I have tried casting different types of media (i.e. music, videos), disabled windows firewall and disabled anti virus software all with the same result. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, still not responding when trying to cast. I Also tried an earlier version of iTunes (10.5) and the problem persisted.
I have tested the appleTV with my macbook pro and it worked fine both casting iTunes media as well as screen mirroring. I have also tested it with a desktop running windows 7 and an android phone running allcast, both also worked fine.
The vaio specs are:
intel core i7-2630QM 2.00GHz
8 GB RAM
windows 7 home premium 64 bits
iTunes is updated (11.1.5) as well as quick time (7.7.5).
the appleTV is brand new and came with software version 6.0.2, however I have also tested with another appleTV and obtained the same result(not responding).
Any ideas?

It happens with my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 as well without encrypted backups.  Anyone see this behavior or know how to fix?  I removed all Apple software and reinstalled and the backup worked once, now back to the "iTunes has stopped working" error.

  • ITunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod.  I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes.  OS is Vista.

    iTunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod.  I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes.  OS is Vista. How do I fix this?

    Hm... Strange.
    I had reset the iPhone.
    I tried disabling the auto-launch of iPhoto, and...
    ...when I plugged iPhone in, it started to freeze iTunes, but after a minute or so, the iPhone started synching. I found this odd because I had disabled auto-sync (I press Sync in iTunes when I want to have it Sync).
    Now, of course, I do want auto-launch of iPhoto back on, since I like it for when I attach my digital cameras. I hope that when I set it back, it won't re-introduce the problem.
    The restart I did may have helped. I resist restarting because my wife's account is often open and she frequently leaves unsaved files up, so it is a pain to respectfully close out her work and then restart.

  • ITunes stops responding when switching between stores

    Since the update to 10.5.3.3, I have been experiencing a long wait-time to switch between different nations' iTunes Stores that was not evident in the previous version. Multiple times this morning, iTunes has simply stopped responding as the switch occurs. I was just shutting down the program before, but I let it sit there and it took around 5 minutes to go from one country's store to another, when it took only moments before this update. I do not know if this is only an issue because I recently updated and have not restarted, if it is only affecting Windows users, or if it is a bug that needs to be fixed. What is going on and what should fix things?

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime.
    I have set Norton Personal Firewall to allow all access for Itunes and Quicktime
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes.
    Basically, if I do anything, Itunes stops responding. Can anyone help?

  • ITunes stops responding when iPod is connected to the computer

    This weekend I switched from Windows Vista to Windows 7 with a custom installation of Windows 7 to completely replace Vista (I did not do the upgrade that lays 7 on top of the Vista installation, and I did completely remove the windows.old folder that is left on the hard drive after the installation of 7 is complete). Until tonight, I have had no problems with reinstalling all of the software I need.
    When I first installed iTunes, everything seemed to be working fine. I had no trouble importing my songs from the backup I had made before changing the OS. However, as soon as I plugged in my iPod, iTunes froze and stopped responding. I had to shut it down through the Task Manager, and had to use Windows Explorer to eject the iPod so I could disconnect it (I could not restart iTunes with the iPod connected). Now when I plug in the iPod, Windows 7 tells me I should scan the "drive" because it did not shut down properly.
    I tried several times to get iTunes and the iPod to sync, but the same thing occurred each time. Finally I did a complete uninstall of iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, and a few other Apple products, rebooted, and reinstalled iTunes to try again. The same thing happened again, except this time I cannot even shut iTunes down using the Task Manager. I am sure that iTunes works with Windows 7, so there must be something on my end that is causing the problem. If anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.

    What happens when you try?
    Can you sync music?
    Have you synced apps from this computer/iTunes library before? You an only sync app from the one syncing computer you can have.
    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod/iOS
    Do you have restrictions set that would prevent installation of those apps?

  • Itunes stops responding when adding music

    I have an iPod classic (I think 5th gen) it had worked great for a long time and then a few weeks ago it just froze. After it froze I forced restarted it and all my music was gone. Now I am trying to add all my music and everytime to go to do it (whether on mac or pc) a few files will load and then itunes will freeze and stop responding. I am running itunes 10.6.1 on my pc and 11 on my mac and I have restored the ipod a couple times but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I would love any advice or help because this is extremely frustrating. Thanks

    CORRECTION:
    my iPod is the IPOD CLASSIC not 5th gen

  • ITunes Stops Responding When Trying To Play Video - Windows 7 64bit

    Ok, I've been getting my new Win7 box up and going. Everything is working great with the exception of iTunes.
    Setting up iTunes / Quicktime is quick and easy. After a single reboot then launching iTunes and trying to play any video results in "iTunes has stopped responding". Then it shuts down.
    If I either, re-install iTunes or Quicktime. Video works again, until I reboot. Then I end up with the same error message "iTunes has stopped responding".
    I've ran the test over and over, probably a dozen times. I re-install and all works again, until I reboot. And yes, I scanned for viruses, I've check and rechecked settings.
    Can anyone help!? I really want to move everything from my XP machine to Win7, but this one thing keeps holding me up.

    PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • ITunes stops responding when trying to restore from backup

    I tried to restore my iPhone 5 from encrypted backup, but everytime I launch iTunes get the stops responding message and shuts down.  I managed to backup from iCloud, but it is painfully slow.  Does anyone konw what could be going on here?  I never had this problem whit my iPhone 4, both on iOS 6.  I am running Windows 7 with latest iTunes.

  • ITunes stops responding when I connect my iPod.

    Background info:  when I disconnected my iPod awhile ago, all of the music disappeared.  I *did* safely remove it.  However, while it was disconnecting, I somehow unlocked it (the hold button....do you know what I am talking about?), and then it said "Okay to disconnect" (or whatever that message is) so I disconnected it. 
    But then as I was unplugging it, it connected again or something.  But it was too late.  All of my music was gone. 
    Now whenever I plug it into the computer, iTunes does not function.  I can see all the files on my iPod from when I was using it as an external backup drive, and can access those through finder.  But nothing involving iTunes is functional.
    Help, please?
    Thanks in advance

    Also, iTunes works normally when my iPod is *not* connected.  It is up to date.  I don't know if my iPod is up to date though....

    Jailbroke?

  • Brand new iPod Classic will not sync with iTunes.  All my older devices are fine, but as soon as this is connected, iTunes stops responding when it says it's "determining tracks to sync."

    Also, the iMac I'm connecting it to is brand new as well - replacing a slightly older one.  My complete library got imported during setup and, like I mentioned, my older iPod classic synced fine, as did our iPhones.  Thoughts??

    Is the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?  If so disable this feature and then try resyncing the device.

  • When my MyBook external drive (where I keep my music) is connected to my Mac, iTunes stops responding upon startup. I have to force quit iTunes, disconnect the iBook, restart iTunes and plug the iBook back in.

    no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
    If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
    under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem.

  • ITunes stops responding immediately after opening

    My iTunes stops responding immediately after opening and even force-quit doesn't do.
    Baically it freezes between pressing it and opening the window. In my large library, I can see that it loads it and then nothing more. The menu appears and then the wheel. Force quitting doesn't shut the program, no matter how I do it. It leaves the arrow and the only way is to restart the computer and start again.
    I tried using another account, and it does the same. I tried with a new library. I tried with new prefs folder both on the user and on the Mac HD. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I even tried reinstalling the whole OS X - but nothing. The only thing is that after zapping PRAM it might work once or twice, but no more.
    This is with iTunes 7.0.2, QuickTime 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.8
    I don't know what else to do.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It started recently - maybe about two weeks ago - and occasionally when I launch iTunes it just freezes. I can't force quit it completely - it still shows in the Dock as though it's running, though it's not present in Activity Monitor.
    Curiously, I've also had a couple of kernel panics when clicking iTunes buttons in the past week. I don't recall any system update that might have affected either iTunes or QuickTime, so I'm stumped... The only way to get iTunes back is to log out or restart.

  • Itunes stops responding for no apparent reason

    I have a new iPod (7th generation) that I am using iTunes to download from.
    My computer is a Dell Latitude 3540 running Windows 7 (64-bit) Professional Service Pack 1.
    My iTunes is version 11.3.1.2 (just downloaded yesterday as I was informed it was a new version that corrected some problems). The first version of iTunes I had was 11.2.2.3.
    The problem I am about to explain has happened with both of the above versions.
    I am attempting to get my CDs into iTunes now.
    When I insert a CD iTunes will read all the tracks. It then starts downloading all of them using the iTunes native format. When it downloads the last track the CD ejects but iTunes no longer responds. I can select nothing on the open window - it is dead.
    When I open up the task manager it shows that iTunes is not responding. I can not end the task using from the task manager.
    Other things on the computer work fine after iTunes stops responding. The only way I have found to clear this issue is to shutdown and restart the computer. When I open iTunes again I can see the CD that I loaded in iTunes. I can also download it to my iPod OK. But when I try and load another CD into iTunes the same thing occurs again.
    So it "sort of works" but having to restart my computer after loading each new CD is not right and time consuming.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
