Itunes unresponsive (spinning ball)

I have a Top-Of-Range 15" MacBook Pro (2011) running itunes 10.6.1 (7). The Library is 12000 tunes (on the Hard Drive) and, 1200 TV Programmes, 348 Feature Films on a remote Hard Drive by USB. Software is totally up-to-date.
I hard wire sync my ipad 2, my iPhone 4.
The iPod is virtually permanently attached by USB, because I use Air Display the iPhone 4 only once daily.
Yet, I lose my computer for 10-20 minutes during every sync. iTunes becomes totally unresponsive for that time, while other applications slow down (Mail Word, Excel) or also become unsresponsive (Handbrake, iPhoto) for the same period.
It s getting annoying- even to the point that I regularly force quit iTunes to regain control. I forced quit last night and "locked" iTunes until I rebooted the Mac.
Is there something I can do to improve this productivity?
Thanks
Phil

I have the same problem. I also get a spinning ball when ejecting a CD from within iTunes. But when I eject the CD from Finder, it's quick.

  • ITunes and spinning ball

    I clicked on iTunes today and got the window but it said "accessing iTunes Store" and then never did. Part of the page loaded, but the spinning beach ball just did its thing. I had to force quit several times. I finally got to a playlist, but then the beach ball returned. What's going on?

    Really, never was resolved, but the version of iTunes is long in the dust.

  • IPod not synching since I upgraded to 10.5.5 Itunes freezes(spinning ball)

    I am having trouble with the update 10.5.5. I have a MacPro(8 Core), and I just updated it yesterday. Now all of a sudden my iPod Classic(80gb) was completely erased when I plugged it in to charge, I have restored it and it will not synch past 2210 songs it just takes hours and still nothing. And iTunes keeps getting the infamous spinning wheel(freezing)(it says iTunes not responding)the light next to it will not go off, Other programs as well will not close(even after force quit)(Microsoft Word, iTunes, Preview, etc...)I have tried safe boot, repairing the disk,restarting the computer quite a few times. I cannot get any work done now because the computer keeps freezing! All I keep seeing is this spinning wheel. The only thing working right is the internet! I had no troubles at all before this update!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Before upgrading did you run disk utility and repair HD and permissions?
    After upgrading did you do it again? Very important steps to take.
    You might want to check any old Tiger 3rd party apps that are not Leopard compliant (many are not), and especially remove any "haxies" if you have them installed, and also check what's in your login panel.
    Old printer drivers, and such can also be problematic. Check all these things and update where necessary.
    Also look back in these forums about a year ago when Leopard came out for all the things that we discovered that had to be fixed or removed, etc.

  • I get a spinning ball every time I search in Itunes 11.0

    I just installed Itunes 11.0 and whenever I start typing in the search box (the first letter doesnt even show up) I just get the spinning ball. It never stops and I have to force Itunes to quit.
    I'm using a macbook pro operating snow leopard (10.6.8)  2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo. (I upgraded to Lion when it first came out and itmade everything run really slow so I wiped the computer and reinstalled leopard from a backup!)
    I should note that I store my itunes library on an external drive. But that has never been a problem before, and in fact all the songs play fine when I click on them or press play. It seems to only be the search box that is hanging with the spinning ball.

    Upon further inspection, it appears the problem is this: when I start typing a word beginning with the letter "a", it doesnt wait for me to finish typing, but rather starts searching for ALL words containing an "a" in them. There are quite a lot. I have about 40,000 songs on my computer. So this simple search is almost crashing my computer.
    I have found that results will begin showing ut only after about 5 minutes of spinning rainbow. Which makes the search feature completely impractical..
    I consider this a serious bug in itunes 11.0. Or at least a very flawed feature.

  • Spinning Ball, iTunes Frozen

    All of my music is on my external hard drive. I created a new iTunes library, placing it on my laptop hard drive. In the iTunes preferences, I indicated the laptop hard drive as the location of my library, and then imported my music into the iTunes library. However, all I get is the spinning ball in iTunes when I try to play music.

    Maybe you should update your 10.6.3 to 10.6.8

  • ITunes Freeze and Spinning Ball

    I installed Snow Leopard and it loaded up fine. However, iTunes starts up and then I see the spinning ball. I restarted and tried again, but got the same issue.
    I restarted again and opened iTunes, then left it running overnight to see if it would resolve itself. It was still there.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    hello again...
    still having the same problem...
    tried creating a new user, but i confess, haven't spent as much time trying things out in that account...
    i did however, reinstall os 10.5, and imported everything from a time machine backup (just so i knew i was running with a fresh OS)...
    and also, ran REMBER which said the RAM was good...
    even monitored the computer in CONSOLE to see if anything looked odd when an application crashed. nothing memorable yielded.
    one curiosity, is that when i repair permissions, it finds hundreds to correct....
    says "repair permissions complete"...
    but then, i can run the process again right away, and it still finds 100's to correct.
    this seems odd to me, and i wonder if a permissions problem is to blame.
    but short of repairing them (or trying to) i don't know what to do...

    Dear Greg:
    I don't have an answer, but in the same boat. Beach Balls and Beach Balls and more Beach Balls.
    iTunes 11 seems to be bigger, fatter and communicating more with the big Apple in the Cloud.
    A god awful mess.
    Maps and now iTunes. Apple is batting a 100%

  • Lion, Spinning Ball for a few seconds at a time

    Macbook Pro, Lion, 8Gig. I have frequent encounters with the spinning ball. Everything stops, the ball comes on, stays for several seconds, then back to life. During the episodes Safari, for example, is completely unresponsive. During the episodes, I can click on another application and switch to it.
    This mac has been through several generations of OS X, and several different physical machines, using Migration Assistant at each shift.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Hey Sally,
    We have an article that outlines a few troubleshooting steps if your Mac is running a bit slowly.
    OS X Lion: If your Mac runs slowly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3915
    If you find your Mac is running slowly, check any open applications to make sure they’re compatible with your computer. Or you may need to increase your hard disk space or repair your hard disk.
    An application you’re using may require more memory than your computer has. To see how much memory your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. See the documentation that came with the application to find out what it requires. To find out how to increase your computer’s memory, see the documentation that came with it.
    Quit any application that isn’t compatible with your computer. For example, an application may require a different processor or graphics card. See the documentation that came with the application to find out what it requires.
    To see what processor your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac.
    To see what graphics card your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, click More Info, and then click Displays.
    There might not be enough free disk space on your computer’s startup disk. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk.Increase disk space
    Quit any applications you’re not using.
    If none of these suggestions work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility.Repair a disk
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

    How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
    To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips.  This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
    The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
    What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

  • Help --- Finder Spinning Ball of Death Mavericks not starting

    get the spinning ball of death when I select finder from the desktop or select anything for that matter.
    I have tried reinstalling Mavericks, after the install I get a popup asking me to install java, regardless of the option I select either not now or install the SPOD comes up.
    I then go into safe mode and downloaded java and installed it, then rebooted normal mode, same problem SPOD when you select anything.
    I have created another account and that works fine, but not my normal account. Initially I thought it might be something to do with chrome, so I uninstalled that.
    In addition I have removed any startup items I had against the user ID in system preferences. I have also switched off spotlight trying to build indexes.
    I know my system is ok when I get the adobe update icon on my top menu bar. The boot up process simply doesn’t get to that stage.
    Below is the boot log. I would be really grateful for any suggestions. I have tried installing from the app store 3 times now.

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault. Everything else is completely irrelevant.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

  • New macbook pro has a lot of spinning ball

    Hello everyone.
    I am completely new in the Mac world and I dreamed for my Macbook pro for years so I hope you will understan my frustration.
    At the end of July I purchased a mid 2012 15 inch non-retina mbp - 2,6gb, 4mb ram, 500 gb hd.
    Ever since I got it I experienced the spinning ball quite often. But because of my wish for perfection tried not to pay any attention to that.
    Then 2 months later suddenly the SD card reader stopped working. So I brought it back to the shop and also complained about the spinning ball. They changed the logical board and told me everything will be fine now. Should not see any spinnig ball anymore.
    I gave it a try for the weekend to do some projects where I had to use programs such as Adobe Ilustrator and Photoshop as well as Word, however the spinning ball was still there. Quite often it actually appears just by opening Safari or  Itunes, so not only heavier programs. sometimes just when waning to paste something or opening the Finder.
    Brought it back to the shop again saying that it seems slower than my old ASUS that had no more than 4gb of RAM. Besides, this one is a new computer and it is empty, so how can it be so slow already now?
    A week later I got it back saying it was a defective Hard drive cable that might have caused it. Changed, spinning wheel should be no longer there.
    Gave it another try - spinnig wheel still there!
    So now I am wondering - is that normal?
    boyfriend says - is it normal, friends say - no, I never see it (still working on Adobe programs as well as having 4gb of ram and 2,4mhz)
    My guess is that it might be the RAM? but then again - common, it is a new compter and I have only 50gb of information inside. how can it suffer already? Besidesthat, often the spinning ball appears on random situations in random programs. when I spend my day with the computer I see it like 5-10 times a day.
    sometimes when I check the Memory activity the Wired memory goes up to 1,70gb out of my 4gb of RAM. Is that the issue? Once I restart the computer, it goes down again. But this is annyoing, right?
    Please share your exprience and opinions,
    Best regards,
    Sarmite

    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
    GOOD LUCK!

  • Spinning Ball- Firewire Drive question?

    Question about my external drive before I go and purchase a new one...
    I have one hard drive that gives me the spinning ball quite regularly now. I have booted up Disc Utility and repaired the disc. I have also used Disk Warrior (a great 3rd party app) to scan the disk, repair it's data structure and even rebuild it. I have also scanned the hard drive with ClamX AV to try and rule out some sort of virus. Why is this drive locking up my computer, freezing applications, preventing reboots, etc.? It only happens to this one external drive, so my thoughts are it's either a data structure issue, or its hardware. Am I right in that line of thinking?
    Is there a core system process that handles the mounting and dismounting of external drives that could be corrupt? Can I monitor and log what is causing my drive to hang? I'm not that familiar with terminal so I have been watching 'Activity Monitor' to see what processes are in use when I

    Okay, I did everything you suggested, and I believe that as soon as I had Zapped the PRAM things with the drive became remarkably better...I could eject the drive successfully, and then remount it. Thank you!
    But after two days of tests I have still had some irregular issues: it has frozen iTunes once or twice, locking up multiple programs and preventing a restart until the drive is turned off.
    I'll definitely try Zapping it again and see what happens, but does this ring as the beginnings of a failing drive? Should I still look to replace it? It does not have the S.M.A.R.T. function...

  • MacBook Pro 13 and the Spinning Ball of Death. How to fix it?

    I bought my macbook pro last year and after several months, (summer 2010) i faced an isight problem. I went to info-quest, where they fix computers here in Athens,Greece and charged me 458 euros. Fortunately, I had the warranty and paid nothing. Till then I was really satisfied with my mac. However, recently i faced another problem with it. Yesterday, my mac became so slow and i get the spinning ball of death. I can't do anything right now, for instance, if i want to shut it down, i have to wait for a long period of time til it shuts down and my mac becomes so unresponsive. To sum up, everything i do, scroll down, scroll up, click the x button, the spinning beachball of death reappears. I really hope there is a solution for this problem.

    Any number of things may factor into the appearance of a spinning ball of death, but it basically comes down to an operation or command that is stalled.
    First, your quick fix: when you experience a SBOD, click on an empty patch of screen so you can access the pulldown Apple menu. Scroll down to Force Quit; approve of the Force quit, and enter. The command or operation will be aborted, and you'll be able to use your MBP again.
    Second, the next time it happens, take note of which application is stalled when you navigate to Force Quit. It will be noted in red, and show as inactive. Now, you know which application is causing you the problem. It may be that the application is faulty, or you have too many windows open at the same time, or there's a conflict of some sort.
    Respond to this post so we can fix this once and for all!

  • Mac App Store and spinning ball of death!

    When I try to purchase an app on Mac App Store, i get the "Spinning ball" for ever.
    I have to Force quit the Mac App Store application.
    I can sign in on Mac App Store, browse the applications but unable to buy or download anything.
    All is fine using iTunes to buy an application or download a free app.
    Here is a console log of the problem showing an error when trying to download from Mac App Store

    Thank you for your help

    I finally got it to work.
    My problem was Spotlight !!!!!!!!
    I disabled a while ago Spotlight upon an advice that when you use Logic Pro on a professional basis like I do, it was better to turn off Spotlight. To do so I used Spotless.
    I turn it back on and gone was my problem not being able to download anything from Mac App Store.
    Hope this work for others.

  • Imac spinning ball after update

    Since last OS X update EVERYTHING I do causes the spinning ball. Cant listen to iTunes, it quits, typing this message I will get the spinning ball. Go on web, spinning ball, processes stop for up to a minute. 
    Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix ?
    <Edited By Host>

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.
