Itunes won't respond when it starts up

I have some problems with itunes. When it uploads the itunes goes into downloading for podcasts and gets stuck and will not respond to my mouse clicks

You are not alone, exactly the same happened here to our ipod classic and we really need to know why this is and what to do. Is it an itunes update glitch? Is it the harddrive?

Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

Itunes won't respond to double clicking on a song once another song is play

hi. i open itunes, double click on a track and then if i want to play another track i double click on it but itunes won't respond and just keeps playing the original track. if i click on the track, it will highlight but won't play when double clicked. it will however play if i highlight with a single click and hit return. why is this happening. it never used to happen and doesn't on my other computer.

QuickTime X wouldn't have given the error message if it could have opened the file.
There are many file formats and codecs it can't view.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
If this fails:
Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

ITunes won't respond

I got a new hard drive and downloaded my DVD music backup from the old drive. Went fine for the 1st DVD ( backup on 2 DVD's) Later on when I went to download the 2nd I find iTunes won't open now. When I go to force quit it says iTunes not responding. I have repaired permissions and tried restarting and still won't open. any ideas? I just get the rainbow ball until I force quit it.

Try this....Make sure iTunes IS NOT open. Go into your user folder/Library/Preferences/ and move "com.apple.iTunes.plist" to the trash. Then start iTunes.

Itunes won't work when I double click on my desk top and it won't update.

I'm having major problems with Itunes. As I stated in my title, I can't open Itunes on the desktop. I get this error message when I try. "This action only valid with products installed." However, it will open up when I connect my IPOD or click on something for it to play. I cannot also go to my files manually on my ipod. It will just sync them up with whatever is new.
When I have tried to update it, or reinstall it, I get this message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It tells me to "Click OK to try again, or alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Itunes.msi' in the box below"
I have tried to uninstall ITUNES, but, when I do, I get the error message that I get when I try to update or install itunes.
Can anybody help me?

My won't either. This started with me when I installed the update. I get the message that the file itunes.msi cannot be found. I have even tried to re-install from my original disc and it still cannot find itunes.msi. I have ran the 'find' procedure and my computer cannot find the file. I don't know how to get the file since I have tried installing from the original disc.

Windows 7 Backup and Restore Program won't respond when I click on Back up Now or Change Settings.

The system rebooted when I was doing a backup to NAS. After it came back up it said I had 'canceled' the backup but now it won't respond to Back up Now or Change settings. It does respond to other options.

Hi,
You can attempt to run "sdclt.exe /configure" to start windows backup.
Thanks :)

ITunes 11 Not Responding When I Try to Burn a CD

So.. I have a Windows PC, Windows 7 64Bit. I installed the latest version of iTunes.
When I insert a CD-R to burn, it immediately goes into "NOT RESPONDING" mode.
Now, I don't even get that pop-up that allows me to choose CD, Data Disc or MP3 disc. That no longer pops up as it's already in NOT RESPONDING mode.
So, here's what I have tried.
(ALL of these steps did NOT fix the issue)
Deleting and re-installing iTunes.
Tried 6 different brands and types of CD-Rs. Regular, LightScribe, Memorex brand, Maxell brand, Philips brand, etc. No difference.
Updating the drivers of the DVD-ROM/recordable drive.
Did a Window update.
Deleted the drivers for the drive and let Windows Re-install them
Uncheck the "Search Entire Library" option in hourglass search because that, too, freezes iTunes 11.
Repair iTunes (vs. remove).
When none of this worked, I said "Forget this, iTunes 11 isn't stable. I'm going back to version 10.7!"
So, I uninstalled/removed iTunes 11.
I found the install for iTunes 10.7.
I tried to install iTunes 10.7
I got this error: "iTUNES 10.7 Cannot be used because the iTunes library was created in a later version of iTunes"
Lovely.
So, what was left?? I tried SYSTEM RESTORE.
Re-installed iTunes 11.
Did not help.
When I tried to re-install iTunes 10.7, it would NOT open so I cannot go find PREVIOUS iTunes Libraries and use those.
PLEASE help! THANKS!!
