Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!

  • Just installed itunes and it wont open!

    i just installed itunes on a brand new hp computer with windows xp. the installation finished successfully, but when i click on the itunes icon on the desktop the cursor turns to a searching sign for afew seconds, but itunes will not open. i have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and nothing seems to work. i need help!

    Hi amanda6789
    Please look through the forums. You will see most often problems are caused by antivirus/antispy software conflicting with iTunes.
    Ensure you always download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online and disable AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.

    I have had Lion since it was first released July 20th, and I have noticed that I can not zoom in on everything that is on the internet, some things seem to not be able to be zoomed in on.  Are you saying that no matter what website you go to (this one for eample) the zoom function does not work?

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • Just installed iTunes and it won't open

    I just downloaded iTunes 10.6.1, twice, onto my new compter. I have Windows 7, and a 64-bit Operating System. I did download the 64-bit version of iTunes, so I do not think that is the problem.
    The first time the installation worked fine. I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync it, and I did so. I briefly closed out of it and went to reopen and it would not. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It still would not open. After the second installation was finished, there was a dialogue box that said it would open iTunes when I pressed "Finish". I clicked Finish, and iTunes did not open.
    I looked through one Troubleshoot guide, and it said to open iTunes in "Safe Mode" but iTunes wouldn't even open.
    I'm not really sure what to do... Any help would be great!
    Thank you!

    Try restoring your system to the earlier time and then reinstall your iTunes. You might have installed or downloaded something that makes iTunes weird.

  • ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

    160 GB iPod Classic
    Model: MC293LL
    Version: 2.0.4 PC
    iTunes version: 11.1.3
    computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
                     1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
    since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
    What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

    i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
    hope this helps

  • Installed Itunes and Qtime but when try to open, Error

    the message reads that QTime not installed and I should uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have done this many times even on other networks incase Vodafone was blocking it. Any ideas???

    Do you have a working Quicktime, even though iTunes thinks you don't?

  • HELP!!!!  I just updated iTunes and now it won't open!

    When I double click the icon on my desktop, my curser does the hourglass thing like it always does before the program opens, but then it stops and the program doesn't open! Everything else on my computer seems to work and my virus scan thingy says there's nothing wrong. I have also reinstalled iTunes twice and restarted my computer. I tried calling the help number but after waiting ten minutes to speak to a live human being, I was told that I would have to pay fifty bucks for them to help me! After reading the other posts on this message board, I am beginning to think that they are doing this on purpose so that they can charge everybody fifty bucks. Anyway, any advice regarding how I can open iTunes without losing my music, messing up my computer, or paying fifty dollars would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Gawd, no, i'ts not an evil plot by Apple to get $50. It's because 9 times out of 10, it's a Windows problem and since they didn't sell you the Win PC, they're not giving free support.
    OK, do you get any error message?
    Go to Task Manager > Processes tab (hit ctl-alt-del)
    Click on the Image Name column to sort things alphabetically.
    Do you see itunes.exe in there?
    Do you see qttask.exe?

  • ITunes and computer freezes when syncing

    My iPod and iTunes work fine separately, but when I sync my iPod, it'll sync a couple songs/photos/videos and then suddenly freeze which freezes my entire task bar. I use windows vista and itunes 7.6.1 and I haven't had this problem before.. What's the deal?

    I have this exact same problem and cannot figure out a solution to it. It has happened twice to me.
    First time it happened was around Christmas. All of a sudden, I could not sync the iPod any more as my system froze when attempting to do so. iPod and iTunes worked fine apart. I dug through the whole system and could never get it to work. The only thing that I could do was to move everything to a different box. I lost all of my history in doing that, though.
    Now, in the past couple of days, the same issue has started again on the 2nd box. I've reinstalled iTunes, I've started everything with a base config (only required system services running), I've tried old iTunes libraries...nothing works, it still syncs for a bit and then everything freezes. I enabled disk use and then ran a disk check on the iPod. It found some errors and corrected them. I guess I could erase the iPode to factory standards and then try syncing again, but I did this when the issue occurred the first time and it didn't solve the problem.
    Any insight anyone can give into this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have just installed Itunes 11.0.   When itunes creates a *.AAC file, does it put it in the same directory as where my .wav files are located?

    I have an iPod Touch 64gb.  I have 149 gb of  .wav or similar format music.  I have created a music library with the latter. How can I convert this library
    into  .AAC format so that the syncing process will be seamless?  Should I create a new folder for the .wav files and put the .AAC files into
    a subfolder in the itunesmedia folder?  If so,  how do I get  itunes to put these files in that folder?
    Thanks.

  • I just updated ITunes and now it will not open at all. My computer recognizes my IPod, but I cannot get ITunes to open at all.

  • Why do Keynote and Pages freeze when I open them?

    I have tried everything but I get the spinning wheel whenver I try opening them.  I have even uninstalled and reinstalled from the App Store.  I have also tried deleting their respective .plist files in the Library>>Preferences folder and emptied trash after doing so.  I also tried uninstalling and restarting holding shift, then repairing disk permissions in Disk Utilities. 
    These both worked last week and I haven't installed anything on this computer since then which leads me to believe it could be an iCloud issue?
    I have a major presentation in a few days and need to fix this asap.
    Thanks!
