My iTunes freezes upon launch every time. What can I do to fix this?

This has happened twice now. The first time I fixed it by deleting the .itl library file and creating a new library. I don't want to have to do that everytime. I have the latest version of iTunes and a mid-2009 MacBook Pro with 8G of RAM and 750G HD.
Everytime I click on iTunes, the screen populates as it should and then I get the colorful spinning wheel. If I look in the task manager it says "iTunes not responding". Force Quitting and restarting does nothing. This time I noticed it occured when I tried to connect my phone to iTunes, the time before that was when I treid to add songs to my iTunes library.
What can I do to keep it from crashing?

have you updated to the latests version of itunes?
are you syncing over wifi if so have you tried doing so with the cable ?

OverDrive has its own application for its media. See <http://omc.overdrive.com/v3-available-now/ios.php>. This has nothing to do with the Adobe Reader for iOS. Sorry!

Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
- To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
- For the computer see:
Public DNS — Google Developers
- Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks

My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.
