My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

ITunes freezes when trying to add music onto iPod touch

Newest iPod touch gen, newest iTunes updates. I plug in my iPod touch and go into iTunes, when i try to upload music to the ipod, it freezes up. I cant put any music on it. I tried re-installing itunes and i doesn't make a difference. My sister's ipod is doing the same thing, too.

ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

Here's my situation exactly:
I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
Things I have tried so far:
Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports

I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!

HT1199 when I enlarge iPhoto, I get a big exclamation point. What can I do to resolve this issue?

When I enlarge a photo in iPhoto, I get a big exclamation point. What can I do? Also, a lot of my pictures are gone.

Gone from where?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Problem Please Help - Itunes freezes when trying to play a tv show/movie

The other day I downloaded a couple movies I had rented. Something I had not done before on itunes. The three movies downloaded with no problems and then when I was on my flight I tried to start one of them. Itunes went black as if to start playing and then froze. I disregarded it at the time thinking it was just my computer being buggy. Which was odd because I hadn't an issue with itunes really. However since those downloads I cannot play anything I downloaded. The moment I try Itunes goes black as if to play and just freezes. I have now lost money in this because I was unable to watch that one rental, and am now trying to watch tv series that have already paid for but am having no luck. So what do I do? I've reinstalled several times, I've tried the little fixes that they suggest online but nothing is working! Also if you can tell me how to contact someone that would be a great help too because this just isn't working.

I have the same problem. I purchased several episodes of a television program and they will not play either in iTunes or in Quicktime without stuttering, jerky video, choppy audio, and the video and audio being out of sync. As a new iTunes user, this experience has completely soured me and unless I find a solution.
I have absolutely no problem with playing video from any other source through any other player. I can stream videos fine from Amazon, YouTube, and everything in between, and videos downloaded from Amazon and elsewhere play just fine whether I'm using VLC, RealPlayer, or WMP. DVDs also play with absolutely no trouble whatsoever. It is only iTunes videos that have any trouble.
I have already consulted the page that was suggested here (and on other threads I've read), and nothing on that page was useful. (Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718)
This is extremely frustrating. I have Win7 Premium with 4 GB RAM and an AMD dual core 1.65 GHz processor. It may not be the ultimate gaming machine, but it's performed really well up until it encountered iTunes.
I also tried using QuickTime, thinking that might work better, so I downloaded the most up-to-date version, and playback was marginally better but still unwatchable.
Considering that this is paid content, it is unacceptable that it cannot be played on my computer -- and I have watched trailers for the episodes on YouTube (it's newly released), and they play perfectly, so I know it's not the episodes themselves.
Is there a codec that I should install? Is there any fix at all for this issue?
It seems that a large number of people experience this, which means that a lot of people are paying for something and then getting nothing -- and it's not a problem that can be discovered before the content is purchased. This is a very frustrating situation!

TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Itunes freezing when trying to sync

Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

ITunes freezes when trying to close

iTunes (7.6) freezes for me every time i try to close the program. It seems to open up and work fine, however when I click the "x" or go to file, then exit, it freezes up and have to open the task manager and end the process. While it is frozen, the task manager shows it using 100% CPU usage. This is fresh, clean install of Windows XP SP2 with all updates installed. This was happening with the latest version just before 7.6 came out. I did a clean install of XP, installed all updates, installed iTunes and it froze, didn't think much of it.. thought it was just a random one time thing, finished installing all my other programs.. then today i update to 7.6 and go to close it and it happens again! I opened and tried to close it several times and it happened every single time. I uninstalled iTunes (removed old database as well), reinstalled iTunes and still froze. This has never happened to me before and am stumped on how to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*Note to everyone here in this thread*
interconnect has fixed his problem with iTunes hanging when trying to quit. He had Eset's Nod32 antivirus installed on the PC, and was able to fix the problem by using the measures from the following Eset troubleshooting document:

My daughter and I use the same PC. We have seperate iTunes accounts. . When I subscribed to iTunes Match all her music appeared on my iPhone. What can I do to resolve this

My daughter and I use the same PC for downloading onto iTunes
We have different iTunes accounts
Mine has far less content than hers as you'd expect
My iPhone only showed the music held in my account until I subscribed to iTunes Match At that point all her music loaded onto my iPhone
Why? and what do I do to resolve this please?

iTunes Match is associated with a specific Apple Id. If you use the same Id to enable iTunes Match on your IOS device you will see the same Songs.
Once iTune Match is enabled on a device (your shared computer for example), Apple cares about not allowing another Apple Id to be associated with that same device for a period of 90 days. Thus having more than one Apple Id associated with a single device to support multiple active iTunes Match subscriptions is simply not supported.
Whilst your music would be combined, you can from a single device associate more than one library with iTunes Match - until you can access separate devices this is perhaps the best compromise.
