ITunes U Freezes Computer

I am having some difficulty with running iTunes U. Whenever I select iTunes U from the side menu on iTunes, I cannot refresh the page or watch my downloads. It freezes the computer, and the only way to get everything working again seems to be to ctrl+alt+del and end the task form the task manager. The same thing happens when I select iTunes U after selecting my iPod from the side menu on iTunes. I have downloaded seminars from my computer and they show up under iTunes U, but they do not show up on my iPod, nor can they be played. I have downloaded one session from my iPod touch 3rd generation, and it appears on the iPod but not the computer. I have synced my device several times and nothing seems to make a difference. Please help!

Dear folks,
Maybe you could try this link.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
Frankly, I tried but it couldn't resolve my problem in full.
At least it helps to clean up the subscribed contents and reset configuration...
And I found that only certain subscription link of itunes U creates the "freeze".

  • ITunes completely freezes computer

    I just downloaded the newest version of ITunes, 7.1. I am still experiencing the same problem as I did with 7.0.2. Here is the description:
    I open ITunes and import a CD. It imports fine, but completely freezez up the ITunes program. Under task manager, it says "Not Responding." If I only exit ITunes and try again, I get the same thing, only I can't import a CD. The whole program is frozen. It also tends to freeze my entire computer. The only resolution to continue on is to restart my computer.
    I called Apple support once before and they had me restore the ITunes program. Never helped.
    Has anyone else had this? If so and you have corrected the problem, please let me know...in simple easy instructions. I am not illiterate, but not a computer geek either!

    Hey maxsmom,
    This is the link to the MSCONFIG article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538 you were walked through.
    From the article:
    "If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur."
    Basically your computer has software that is individual to your computer, whatever you, the other users, and manufacturer installed. To find the application that is causing the conflict youll have to enable the startup apps/services one at a time until you find the one thats causes the problem when its turned back on.
    After you find the software thats causing the confllict you can disable it or reconfigure it.

  • 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.

  • Download itunes setup freezes computer

    Hello, I am trying to download Itunes onto my PC and every time I try to go into my downloads folder to open the setup, the entire folder freezes. I've tried to delete the setup file but it won't let me, it continues to freeze every time I click on it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I appreciate it.

    Are you installing the version of iTunes from your iPod CD or from the version you downloaded? If it's downloaded, then it COULD be corrupt . . .

  • Ipod freezes computer and itunes and has corrupt songs

    Hi,
    a while back I was having problems with my 160gb IPod classic. Every time I plugged it in the entire computer, and iTunes would freeze.
    This ended with a trip to the Apple store and after a lengthy session, the iPod was restored to factory settings. (The guys had a lot of trouble doing this, didn't seem an easy process)
    Recently I plugged the iPod in (Windows 8) and added a few more albums.
    Later on when playing the iPod on my dock, I noticed a lot of the CDs were missing, completely erased. I had heard of a bug on iTunes which removes CDs that haven't been bought via iTunes, but seems strange as NONE of my albums were bought from iTunes.
    I've also noticed that songs appear to be corrupted on some albums. They begin to play, stop, then skip to the next playable song, skipping over the ones that won't play.
    Problem is that when I plug it into my HP laptop, it freezes until it is unplugged again. Same with iTunes, it wont respond while the iPod is plugged in.
    The computer registers it as a removable drive but says it is full. Device manager recognises it and says it is working ok and has the latest driver etc.
    What I want to do it restore it to factory settings but I just can't do it via iTunes and the computer doesn't give me the option as it's not recognisable in 'My Computer' as an iPod.
    Can't take it into the store again as the warranty has expired.
    There must be a way to return it to factory settings, if not manually without a computer, than maybe via device manager?
    I'm not too up on the technical side of things so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Peter.

    Eventually managed to restore to factory settings.
    Anyone heard about that ITunes 'bug/virus' or is it just scaremongering?

  • What should I do if whenever I open Itunes it freezes my whole computer and the mouse doesn't move?

    you might need help with OS X more than iTunes though.

  • ITunes started freezing up on Windows 7 home while down loading podcasts and university videos.  Now, I can't even get iTunes to open on my computer.  what do I need to do?

    itunes started freezing up on Windows 7 while downloading podcasts, books, itunes university items.  Now, I can't even get itunes to open on my computer.  What should I do?

    It seems that in some cases the scripts on Apple's site that are intended to query your system to offer the appropriate installer don't work as intended, taking you straight to the "Thank you for downloading" page.  Depending on the edition of Windows you are running, there are three variants of the most recent version of iTunes, with direct links to the installers as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.2.27 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.2.27  (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit "for older video cards") - itunes64setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

  • Nano freezes itunes and "my computer"

    Hi,
    Just bought an Ipod Nano 4gb 3rd gen, it has software version 1.0 and formated for windows. I am trying to use the ipod on my desktop AND laptop both with same result.
    Problem is this, as soon as i connect it with the USB cable itunes freezes, at the same time if you try to look at the ipod in "my Computer" this also freezes. The instant that i disconnect the ipod from the computer itunes and my computer respond again.
    Further to this i find that on my laptop roughly every 4 minutes iTunes will respond for about 5 seconds before going un-responsive again, to this end i have managed to get 3 photos onto the ipod but as you can imagine it is a little frustrating.
    My nano seems to work on other laptops and my old ipod mini works fine with my desktop and my laptop. I'm at a loss... Any ideas or ever heard of this?

    Solved, was a software conflict with something that appeared on my add/remove programs list as "USB Toolbox" once this was uninstalled everything worked fine.

  • When trying to install iTunes onto my computer Windows 7 64 bit the downloads keeps freezing - help

    Help - have tried several times to download iTunes onto my computer and it keeps freezing - sometimes gets to 67% then just freezes all together - have been trying for nearly a week now
    HELP HELP HELP

    maybe you can let us know what the error message says. I would say you need to make sure you completely uninstall any previous iTunes installation/component first. Follow this guide:

  • ITunes keeps freezing up and freezing my computer

    I have a computer that runs on Vista.  Everything was fine untill my brother decided to be kind and update iTunes for me while trying to help me get some music off my iPod and back into iTunes.  THATS when the trouble started.  iTunes now freezes up when I open it, freezes my computer AND I ended up loosing everything on my iPod because of this problem (my husband got frusterated and unplugged the iPod, I think, when he should't have).  GAH!  Whats up???  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTuens a few times...no love.No, it also wont recongize my iPod, but i think once it stops freezing, that will go away.

    Put your ipod into disk mode to restore it:
    Reset (Menu + Centre Button)
    As it is resetting (when the screen goes blank) quickly hold down the Play and Centre buttons until your ipod tells you it is disk mode (indicated by a tick on the screen)
    Plug your ipod in a Mac or a PC, eventually it will pick it up with iTunes and request a restore.
    Never plug out an iPod if it has not been ejected.

  • Each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This happened after the latest download, any suggestions?

    each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase.  The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2.  Any suggestions?

    You should Reset your iPod, by
    1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
    2. Disconnect the sync cable.
    3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
    if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
    If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
    4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
    5. Start iTunes
    6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
    7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
    8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
    Good Luck.
