ITunes store using 100% of CPU

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.0.4, performance of the iTunes store has been horribly slow, taking 5 seconds to register a keystroke and using 100% or more of the CPU. Any idea what's up?

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 n 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.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Apple Mail client app (version 8.0) using 100%+ of CPU upon using mail drop (13" R-MBP running Yosemite 10.10)

    Hello Support Community,
    I am having quite the interesting issue. I have read plenty of reports where users' Apple Mail app is using 100% of CPU. This did not start for me until I went to go use the new mail drop feature in Yosemite. I am running Yosemite (10.10) on my 13" Retina - MacBook Pro (flash storage, 8GB RAM, 2.4 dual-core Intel i5) and my Apple mail is version 8.0. I have tried 3 different mail services (2 gmail accounts and iCloud), all result in the same issue. I have also done a complete erase of the hard disk and a brand new install of Yosemite, the issue persists.
    As previously stated my mail app is using 100% upon, and only while, using the mail drop feature. If I force quit the mail app and allow it a minute, the mail app returns to using less than 1% of the CPU and the app and entire system resume normal function. Upon attempting to resend the same message that is placed in my outbox the CPU usage jumps to 50-80%. After a few seconds, the CPU usage will sometimes jump higher than 100%, ranging from 130% - 199%. All of these observations were made using Activity Monitor. Of course you can see my frustration, an app using this much CPU stops every process my Mac is doing (using safari, messages, iTunes etc.) - the whole computer locks up. Even force quitting is a difficult process to attempt.
    Does anyone have a fix for this? I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and have tried everything that I would've thought would fix this. Is there anyway this could be a hardware issue? I don't think so but... all possibilities need to be taken into consideration, even though that one seems outlandish. Upon creating a new user account with a separate user library (but same system library) I figured the OS was the problem. I can't narrow it down to being a specific mail provider, and it can't be my OS since I have now erased and reinstalled 10.10 twice. Thank you!

    I have this same issue.  It has been driving me insane, Mac Mail uses 100% CPU most of the time I use it, after every time I open the machine, or after a sleep or even mostly after a screen saver has locked me out.  It normally settles down after 5-15 minutes, but then happens every time again.  It is killing my battery.

  • TS1368 I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. 'Secure link to iTunes store failed'. Please help!

    I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. I have version 11.0.2.26 on Win 7 pc. I have had no problems until recently. Can't say exactly the problem began as I don't normally use my computer to access the store but my last successful access according to iTunes diagnostics was 28th Feb 2013 (if thats useful?!)
    I've run the Network Connectivity Test in iTunes diagnostics and I got the following results:
    - Network interfaces verified.
    -Internet connection verified.
    -Secure link to iTunes failed.
    When I click the help button next to the 'Secure link to iTunes failed' message I get the following:
              ''iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the internet.'
    My pc is connected to the internet. I've checked firewalls. Windows firewall is off. I'm running AVG internet security 2013. Iv've checked the firewall settings on that and iTunes is not being blocked.
    Getting kinda frustrated. Can anybody help please???

    I seem to have tracked down the problem. AVG Family Safety software was causing the issue somehow. I have uninstalled it and iTunes now working. I will contact AVG for a solution as I now have no way of blocking certain sites.

  • I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

    I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad. All the software is up to date.

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

  • CWBufferedAO.zip uses 100% of CPU

    This sample program is modified as follows,
    CWAO1.UpdateClock.Frequency = 1024
    CWAO1.NUpdates = 1024
    CWAO1.ProgressInterval = 256
    When PCI-MIO-XE16-10 is used and NUpdates is the same value as Frquency, this program uses 100% of CPU and "STOP" button does not work.
    Our program was developed for DAQCard-6036E and was intended to use it on PCI-MIO-16XE-10. Because of programming requirement, the stopping process should be taken within 1 second after STOP button is clicked.
    Is there any reason why this sample program uses 100% of CPU when small value of NUpdates is applied?

    My PC is DELL Precision-620 (2 CPU's) with Win2000.
    The sampling rate is 1024Hz so that 256 samples take 250ms. It is very slow operation.
    STOP button does not work and some user logics do not work in Progress routine.
    Attached a slighly modified program to show you the strange opeartion in Nidak32.sys. Are the Update count
    and Time Editbox updated on your PC?

  • HT1918 cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    What happens when you try to change it ? You should be able to change by logging into your account on this page : http://appleid.apple.com
    Or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
    You might then need to log out of your account on any devices (iPad, iPhone, IPod Touch) that you have and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

  • I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?

    I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?
    I keep getting the error "Can't connect to the iTunes Store"
    This also makes it impossible for me to use itunes match with the 3G network.

    I've got this as well and it seems to have affected only the Music and Home pages - do a search in the search bar and you will get to the films etc. Looks like somone goofed! If anyone from Apple checks this out, mine is the UK store. Home page and Music pages only affected.

  • Cannot go to iTunes store using my iPhone 6 plus. I click on App Store and it opens up iTunes U. Even when I open iPhones video app and try to purchase a movie which is suppose to take me to iTunes store, it instead opens up iTunes U.

    There isn't currently any music, films or TV programmes available in the South Korean store, so you will only see iTunes U in the iTunes store app. You can't use the US store unless you are in the US, you have to be in a country to use its store (that is in the Store's terms) - so whilst you are in South Korea you can only use the South Korean store.
    Are there other music purchase download sites in South Korea that you could use ? You can also copy your CDs via your computer's iTunes

  • ITunes will uses 100% cpu and will not close in OSX Lion

    When I start up iTunes, after a few minutes, the fan kicks on and Activity Monitor shows that it is using 100% CPU. The fan kicks up and the MBP gets warm. I have to force close to get it to shut down. iTunes match is constantly running, so maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'm not running it in Mini Player mode or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any thoughts on how to diagnose it?

    I also have this problem which has been getting worse with recent successive updates of Firefox. As a long-time user and advocate, I am about ready to look for an alternative browser. Firefox will not close and exit properly, requiring direct cancellation through Task Manager; starts up very slowly (often 1 to 2 minutes); and frequently locks up the CPU with 100% of cycles while doing NOTHING; offers to restart crashed sessions, but cannot recover and reload those sessions; will not operate correctly while any other application accesses the internet, like uTorrent. Firefox is set to delete cookies, etc. whenever the session closes, sqlite database is vacuumed regularly, CCleaner regularly wipes remaining accretions, and disk is defragged. Currently running 3.5.5 but will NOT upgrade until this problem is solved since later builds report the same problems. I know several other users who have experienced the same problem and I can no longer automatically recommend Firefox to users and clients. Is anybody paying any attention to this problem? What is being done to address this fault? Why is there no response to the original poster? Is this really a support forum or just a way to preoccupy and distract the users who suffer this malfunction? Wireless 54Mbps connection. No Adobe Flash, QuickTime, MS Silverlight, etc. installed on this machine. Firefox 3.5.5 with the following add-ons:
    Aardvark 3.0
    Adblock Plus 1.2.1
    Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.6
    Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
    Highlighter 0.1.4
    MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4
    repagination 2006.4.5.1
    Save Complete 1.0.1
    Session Manager 0.6.8.3
    Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.4
    Unhide Passwords 1.2.5.1
    User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

  • ITunes 10.5 uses ~ 100% of CPU

    Ever since I downloaded iTunes 10.5.2 I have not been able to access the iTunes store or synch my ipod. I noticed that my CPU is running at 100% when iTunes is open. My internet connection works for everything else. I've tried some of the recommendations from Apple on the iTunes support, but nothing is working. I have Windows 7 64-bit. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you
