ITunes (v. 11.1.5.5) is slow, freezes occasionally, pauses songs every few seconds, and just generally stinks. What should I do?
Ever since I updated iTunes to 11.1.5.5, it has become a mess. It's slow to start. Once it finally gets going and allows me to click something, it usually freezes up for a short time. This happens especially if I click the search box in my library. If I manage to get a song playing, it will skip constantly. After about 5 songs of doing this, it will usually correct itself and play right. If I try to go to the iTunes Store, it might take 5 minutes to come up. Altogether the entire program is just slow and unresponsive most of the time. If I buy an album and try to download it, it'll only let a few songs download and the others will have errors. I've had iTunes since the original version and I've never had this many issues with it.
Here's what I'm working with:
-HP Pavillion m7 Notebook PC
-Windows 7 Home Premium
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
-8GB of installed memory (RAM) 7.90Gb usable
-64 bit operating system
*I'll be happy to provide any more information
I only use this computer for music and I have about 40GB worth. Could I have too much music? Is anyone else having these types of problems with this version?

I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?
That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit. -
I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal). icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
ThanksSounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.
Your warranty includes 90 days of phone support. Contact Apple.

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. This does not happen with any other streaming video service. I have restarted and rebooted already.
I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering". -

When I am on iTunes, a bar that says "Accessing iTunes Store" comes up every few seconds. To continue shopping or play my music I have to wait for it to load to disappear, and it comes back immediately. It comes up whenever I click something. How can I get rid of this so I can continue shopping and playing music?
if you want to add songs they must be checked, put them in asong list as it makes them easier to manage

one day i loggged on and all it said was acssecing itunes store but never got there. then a message came up saying "could not connect to itunes server. check your connection and try again later". what should i do?
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

As soon as I plug my iphone4 (running 4.3.3) into my pc, it appears in the left hand column and the little wheel starts turning. Then it stops after a few seconds and itunes freezes. I have tried everything. Can anyone help. Thanks
Hi Patrick,
Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks! -

ITunes window keeps poping up to front every few seconds
Hello, My iTunes (10.5.2.11) on Win 7 (x86) keeps popping up to the front every few seconds even though there's no message box or bullitin. This might have something to do with every time I start iTunes I get a warning that some of the registry keys are currupted for some iTunes CD drivers and that I should re-install iTunes. This however doesn't help because I've done a complete uninstall, removed all remaining iTunes registry keys, and deleted all related iTunes files and reinstalled the program. Even after all that, I still get the same error. It might have something to do with the fact that the internal CD drive (on my/this laptop) is not functional.
Update: One of the kernel updates fixed it. I don't know exactly which version fixed it.

my ipad 2 is in recovery mode when i plug it into itunes and my comuter to restore it itunes stops working and the window close, what should i do i really need my ipad if anyone knows how to fix it i would really apreciate the help.
I assume that you mean that the iTunes window closes. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC and try again. The iTunes software might be corrupt and it may require reinstalling iTunes on your computer.

i have downloaded an album off iTunes and some of the songs stop half way they just go silent! should i buy the album again? or what can i do to fix it?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
