ITunes Store Freezing with 10.5 & Windows 7

I have Windows 7. With version 10.5 of iTunes, the Store keeps freezing on me. Can use Store if I open iTunes in safe mode, but looking for a more permanent fix. Anyone know how to do this?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Can I use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?

Hi all,
Am I able to use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?
I use my account on my PC - but I would like to download the latest version of iTunes onto my Mum's laptop, log in to my own iTunes Store account and rent a movie for her to download onto the laptop.
Is this possible and would I still be able to use my account on my PC at the same time?
Many thanks,
Steve.

Good question.
I don't think you can--if I'm incorrect, someone will tell me--but it seems to me to be easier to simply open an iTunes account for your mom. Then get her a gift card, load it into iTunes for her, and rent a movie that way. Not elegant at all...but workable.

Why do you need to create a new account?
Just change the payment method.

ITunes Store Metadata with iTunes 9

How do you get metadata for items in the iTunes Store using iTunes 9?
In iTunes you can select an item and choose Get Info to see all the metadata. This could be done for items that you owned and items in the iTunes store. With iTunes 9 I can no longer get metadata for items in the iTunes store. I used to use this to check movie quality before purchasing, to check song settings to make sure I could get artwork to match what I ripped, etc.

Afaik the iTunes 5.01 installer isn't available by Apple anymore.
But you won't loose your music if you loose your Library files (you will only loose your playlists and ratings ...)
Just launch iTunes
From Menu - File select "Add to library ..." then choose the folder that contains all your music (usually "iTunes Music")
You also might try (not sure if that will work) - again from Menu - File - "Import"; then choose the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file.

I DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD the Movies and TV shows to every *^&%^$%# Apple device, ONLY the MUSIC!!!

There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use. Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

Itunes Videos freezing with windows 7!

I just got a brand new dell studio last week; i installed itunes 9 with the 64bit and for the first few days it worked just fine and now I will be watching a movie on itunes and my computer will freeze and go black, requiring me to do a manual shut down because i can no longer move my cursor or click anything. I've heard other problems with windows 7 and itunes. When i insert a regular DVD into windows media it works just fine. So far my computer only freezes with my itunes videos but who knows next week it could be my music too!
HELP!

I had the same issue for windows 7. Right click on the iTunes setup file and run as administrator, it works.

Accessing Itunes store freezes computer - Windows 8.1

My computer seems to work perfectly in every other scenario, is completely virus free (according to malware bytes) and Itunes is fully updated however as soon as I try to access the Itunes store (tried it on 4 separate occasions) the entire computer freezes and I have to restart. Any solutions or should I just re-install?
Thanks for all the help in advance

I'm trying to access the iTunes store through a restricted network at uni, thus I'am unable to launch many applications which require network connectivity, would the iTunes store come under this and if so is that the reason it freezes my computer? As I thought that perhaps iTunes is unable to connect fully due to the network restrictions (partial display) therefore gets stuck in a loop without any exit strategy (reason for no error message) and thus crashes.

ITunes Store Freezes and Won't Load

I upgraded to Windows 7 recently and ever since i cant get the iTunes store to connect. When i try to search for something in the store it basically just gets stuck on loading forever and then at that point i have to force quit to close iTunes. Can someone help please?

Okay so I did a little more research and i found out that hundreds of people had this problem when windows 7 beta was out, and they had the following solution:
To those of you running windows 7:
Apparently in w7 there are a lot of compatibility errors with security programs and itunes. I have Norton Internet Security 2009, and I added C:\Program Files\iTunes to the auto-protect exclusions, and i haven't had any hang-ups since; no need for hard reboots or anything. iTune's Store doesn't freeze either.
I also read that disabling windows media player network sharing service fixes it, which I ended up doing also, but I'm not sure if that really affected the outcome or not.
You don't have to take my word for it either, here are the two main places where I gathered my information, you can do the same:

Itunes Store freezes

When opening Itunes I can sit for hours listening to any song in my library. My problem starts when accessing the "Store". After previewing 4 to 10 songs the "music" suddenly stops. I can click on other songs after that and the 'box' shows them there but they won't respond. Not only that, after accessing the "Store", none of my library songs respond either. Absolutely no music. Just the name of the song... and the non working timer.
I can highlight any song I want. They show in the 'box' but won't play. I've tried to turn Itunes off and then back on but that creates another problem for me...I have no problem turning it off (at least I didn't think I did) and the Windows Task Manager shows it has shut down but somewhere in my 'cyberspace' it's still running. How do I know? Well with no other options I've rebooted my PC to get ITunes to work again. When I do that an error message box comes up and tells me to wait while "ITunes" shuts down.... even though there isn't a trace of it showing anywhere on my desktop other then the ITunes Icon.... BTW... after rebooting the PC ITunes works fine again.... until I go to the "Store",,,, maybe the "Store" is trying to get rid of me.
Any Advice?....

well i have the same problem... and i relate it to the graphic driver problem with my iMac (late 2007) which causes to freeze the whole machine with iTunes when i switch to coverflow display...
i draw this conclusion because with my MBPro (early 2008) i don't have those problems - and visiting the iTunes store i see that recently they have added a display of newly relased disks in cover flow mode on that page... bummer!
congratulations, Steve... not only that apple does not do anything against that well known and thousand times report bug with the graphics drivers of the iMac... now i can't buy anymore music from iTunes store...
so please ... fix that annoying bug... now that u rendered iTunes Store almost useless for me that issue stops being funny...

ITunes Store freezes the Application

Hey, I finally got my iTunes working the other day and everything has been going fine for at least a couple weeks. However, out of the blue, a problem has become quite troublesome.
Everytime I attempt to open up the iTunes store, the entire application freezes; absolutely no recognition. All other Apps I'm running work, however, and the moment I close it (from either right clicking and closing or task manager) it shuts off immediately with no problem. There is no error message; simply a frozen iTunes.I would really like to use the store again, so any help would be immensely appreciated!
I run Windows XP and my iTunes version is updated to 9.2 (which didn't solve the problem).

Any ideas at all guys? If I click it while I have music playing, the music continues to play yet the application freezes immediately when it displays the "Accessing Music Store" load bar.
I really need help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Itunes store has stopped working On windows 8

with the most recent update of iTunes (2015, 12.1.1.4- or even later) The iTunes store has stopped working. Every time I open it a window pops up saying "ITunes has stopped working" and then I am forced to close the program and can't get back on it. I own a PC with windows 8. Previously I've never had this issue before. Even when I open ITunes in SAFE MODE the same window still pops up with "ITunes has stopped working'. What is happening and how can I fix this issue?

Greetings Willyme,
As someone who uses iTunes just about every day, I know I would be unhappy with things if I could not get it to launch. Let's see if we can get you back up and running. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
