My iTunes keeps freezing - help!
Every time i open iTunes after installing the update earlier in the week, it tries to download a Twitter app - which it flashes up saying will take 50+ hours to download- then it freezes and everything on my PC becomes unresponsive so i have to restart the PC.
The Internet is working, i've tried changing the settings so it doesn't automatically sync and have also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. The same thing happens. Nothing works.
Help!

I know you stated that you've already reinstalled iTunes, but follow this order and do not skip a step.

My iTunes keeps freezing everytime I try to download a purchased song. Working 10.5.8. Help!
You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem -

ITunes keeps freezing on me.
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and previously when using iTunes (running latest software) all has been ok. Over the last few days I have noticed that Itunes keeps 'freezing' . when I click on the icon, iTunes opens, then tries to connecyt to the Store. The progression bar stops at half way and the whole programme freezes. I hav etries deleting and re installing, but still the same problem. Please help!
Thanks,
ChrisI have this issue too. I have tried all the things suggested on other posts but none work.
Re-Installed iTunes ........
Shutdown restart .......
Used Task Manager to see if syncserver.exe was running on my other account but could not find it...
Nothing works ......... but I can replicate the problem each time I select Preferences.
I have just openned up 2 User accounts on the computer and from what I have read it seems that the problem is restricted to computers with more than one User Account.
Why oh why do Apple make it such hard work to run 2 of it's purchased devices off one computer, if they could only work on a way to sort this problem out we wouldn't need to go around the houses to try to find fixes. -

It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

New Macbook Pro 2012 keeps freezing (HELP!!)
It keeps freezing, it happens after a few hours, sometimes after a few minutes!!
First, the app (google chroome, safari, skype) and then, the finder... I can move the cursor but it doesn't respond, the beach ball won't stop spinning and I had to force shut down by holding the power button (not once...two, three or four times a day)
I've done everything, disk utility almost every day (repair permissions), resetting the pram... I don't know what else to do... I was thinking about buying 8GB RAM (2x 4) but I don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work...

Why does itunes keep freezing?
While importing CD's to itunes with windows 8, it keeps freezing up and I have to end itunes through the task manager and restart. Any suggestions?
There is an Apple article on troubleshooting freezes here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
However it could be a bit of a pain to do if your problem is intermittent.
If the problem is system wide (see article) trying MSConfig to look for conflicting processes might help. I used to get a lot of several second hangs with norton 2005 which went away when I installed norton 2007 for example. -
ITunes keeps freezing during a sync with IPhone 3Gs?
I have repeated issue with ITunes syncing with my IPhone. It keeps freezing while backing up the data. I know there is an order to uninstall and reinstall the components of ITunes but I cannot find what it is. Can you help?
Check this thread out -> iTunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos
Try unchecking the "Include Videos" option on the Photos tab in iTunes. You can workaround the issue by adding the videos to your iTunes library and syncing them along with movies and TV shows. -
ITunes keeps freezing during songs
My itunes just keeps freezing every few seconds, during songs.
Looked for solutions on forums, nothing helped, saw somene suggesting to format the macbook pro, so i did it and it's problem presists.
This all started when I downloaded the new itunes version (11) by the way.

I'm having the same problem as you.
Running
OS: Win 8 64bit
Ram: 8GB
Intel Core i7 - 2600k @ 3.5GHz
Must be something in Windows 8, as I did not have any problems with Win 7.
Having said that my itunes foldered is stored on my NAS so not sure is the slow network speed is causing the issue.
Interested to know whether windows makes a hot fix or whethers apple are secretly trying to get more Apple customers
