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 respond to keyboard hotkeys unless opened

Hi all,
I have a dell multi-media keyboard on a self-assembled PC running XP. When itunes is open and playing, but minimized or behind another open application, it won't respond to my hotkey commands.
I've tried downloading itunes scripts and have assigned the hotkeys to the relevant itunes commands, but the problem persists.
Any ideas?
cheers

Itunes deleted all music on Ipod and now Itunes won't respond to it.

I plugged my ipod into itunes, for no apparent reason all my music was then deleted off my ipod, and now it wont respond when i plug it back in so i can't sync it, the screen goes grey with the apple sign.

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?

TS1717 itunes won't respond when playing movies

itunes shuts down when I play movies but when I play my music it works, not when I play movies and I just updated to current version of itues and it was working before I updated it. Any ideals?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Itunes won't respond with windows 7

Everytime I plug in either my ipad or iphone itunes locks up and I have to go into task manager to end task. How do I solve this problem.

It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I Bought my iPad in usa, now, i live in norway and iTunes won't respond when i plug it in to iTunes, any ideas why? FYI my pc is nowegian.

Need help now!

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 open and when it does it won't respond

No error message appears when it won't start - if I try to end the process in task manager, iTunes will open but it won't respond. It'll just have the loading cursor whenever I mouse over iTunes. I've tried opening in Safe Mode and that's worked before but now it still won't respond. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it too.

sounds like you got a bad copy uninstall it and download a new one from itunes.com

HT1476 I can't tell if my ipod touch 3rd gen is really charging. I have it plugged in, but it will sometimes show the charging icon and then it won't respond to anything. I ddon't know if you need itunes to be on your computer to charge it.

Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

IPhone 4 crashed, blank screen, broken home button, and iTunes won't allow access unless I "respond with phone," how do I reboot or get my data off this phone?

The power button on my iPhone broke a few months ago, so I have been using the assisted touch feature to lock the screen. Last night, in the middle of using an app, the phone froze and nothing working except the assisted touch icon (I could use it and move it around). I locked the screen using this, which evidently was a mistake, because now I have a blank screen that won't respond to anything. When I connect the charger, the phone still makes the normal sounds and vibrations, but the screen is blank. I can't do a hard reboot without the power button. I recently bought a new computer, so today I downloaded iTunes, but iTunes wants me to "respond with the phone" in order to continue. How can I at LEAST upload my contacts, photos and video from this phone? Or is there a trick I can try to bring it back from this black screen that is non-responsive? And NO...I'm not interested in putting it in the freezer!!

Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
Hope this helps.

ITunes 7.5 won't Respond. please help!!

hey all. I'm using Mac OS X version 10.3.9
although it says that it's compatible, I shouldn't have updated iTunes to 7.5 or Quicktime to 7.3.
Both applications won't respond. won't open at all. I've been trying to fix this for hours now, and i'm out of ideas. i really just want to go back to where i was before the update.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you!
