My itunes opens but stops responding two seconds later....Help?

Recently i got given an ipod and my itunes had been working fine previously. So i loaded my ipod and my two siblings ipods onto the computer and we were downloading music and it was working fine. Later i came back and tried to open itunes and the window opened up but it froze on 'loading itunes store' and stopped responding. I do not have bonjour or asc so its nothing to do with that. Does anyone know how i could fix this? Thanks

The message "this program is trying........" probably came from your secyrity software trying to insert back the LSP.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset and are running any kind of net monitoring software like Bsecure, Net Nanny, AVG Family Safety, Safe Eyes, Covenant Eyes, Norton Online Security etc... I would suggest that you try uninstalling said software and reinstalling iTunes 10.5 to see if that corrects the issue.
Or You may follow article TS4123 steps to identify which software in your system is the culprit and uninstall it. Good Luck!
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
Last Modified: November 28, 2011
Article: TS4123
Symptoms
You may notice the following symptoms after installing iTunes 10.5 for Windows:
iTunes is slow to respond
Windows is slow to respond
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Some processes installed by iTunes are using up a lot of resources in the Windows Task Manager.
iTunes Store looks empty and white as shown below:
Products Affected
iTunes Store, iTunes 10 for Windows
Resolution
Look for modifications to Windows by:
Running MSINFO32 by choosing either Start > Run, or using the search box to search for
Once it is open, expand Components and then expand Network.
Click Protocol. The first value should look like this:
However, if you find a value that is more like this, it indicates that there's an LSP (Layered Service Provider) monitoring your computer:
"<LSP Info>" is variable and may specifically mention a software suite, or appear to be a meaningless acronym
Scroll through the list on the right and look for any LSPs that have been installed by third-party software. By default, the Windows OS will have 10 values:
MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
RSVP UDP Service Provider
RSVP TCP Service Provider
MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
The value above repeated 5 times with additional variables at the end
Note: If you want to know more about which values from this key are part of Windows, please review Microsoft article 811259.
Once you've identified the third-party LSPs, determine which software placed them there. Here is a partial list of LSPs you might run into and the software that may have placed it there:
Product or Manufacturer
LSP Name
Bigfoot Networks
BfLLR over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]]
ByteMobile, Inc.
BMI over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
Covenant Eyes
Covenant Eyes Monitoring over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
PC Tools / Spyware Doctor
PCTOOLS over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
SafeEyes
Internet Content Filter over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
SpeedBit Video Accelerator
SBLSP over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
VMWare
VMCI sockets DGRAM
Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you can remove that software. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information.
Note: If unsure on the origin of your LSP, you may try to locate vendor information to determine which software is responsible for the non-default value here.
Reset the WinSock key
If you are unable to identify the software that installed the LSP, you are unable to remove this software because it performs an important function for you, or you've removed this software and the issue persists, you may wish to reset the WinSock key.
To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Windows XP:
Enter the following command:
netsh winsock reset
Restart the computer and test the issue.
Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

New PC iTunes Installs but Stops Responding

I had to get my laptop replaced and when I install iTunes on the new one, it seems to install fine but whenever I open the program, it just says iTunes has stopped responding and closes. There is no music added, and there is no music added to the computers hard drive yet. It is a fresh new PC with a lot of memory and I don't understand why iTunes is behaving this way.

ITune opens but wont respond HELP!

When I click on the icon iTunes appears onscreen but its frozen!? If I "ctrl-alt-del" it says that its not responding?? The the following error message appears:
saAppName: itunes.exe saappuer 6.0.0.1.8 szmodname: hungapp
szmodver: 0.0.0.0 ofnet: 00000000
I have uninstalled/reinstalled/uninstalled/reinstalled. I even tried loading standalone quicktime and nothing.
When I tried to load my old itunes (from first CD) it says that "itunes Library.itl" could not be read as a newer version of itunes had been made or something.
I have a headache!
I have followed the steps on here i.e. turn off NIS etc but it still comes up and freezes.
I plugged in my ipod, which still has the music on it thankfully, and it appeared in the itunes menu but thats as far as I have managed to get.
HELP!

I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes and nothing seems to help. It has something to do with Norten Internet Security that does not let itunes connect to the internet, which in turn crashes itunes.
I have spent hours trying to sort it out. But no matter what I do itunes still does not respond.
Luckily the ipod still has it tunes, otherwise I would cry!

When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

I posted this to another thread here:
"I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.

ITunes "opens" but why doesn't it respond?

My iTunes "opens" but it doesn't respond nor shows anything after "openning." I attatched some pictures showing the process of me openning iTunes. It takes up 25% of my CPU and doesn't move.
before-
After attempting to openning iTunes-
Task manager-

Mine was doing the same after last update on a WIN 7 64 platform. Wouldn't open at all, or would open then crash immediately. Fixed it by follwing the instructions here to completely uninstall it and other parts......you MUST do it as instructed.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

HT1386 I am unable to sync music to my touch IPod. No matter what I try, nothing works. When I plug the IPod into the laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' with my Ipod listed does not appear on the left side of the screen,

I am unable to sync usic to my touch Ipod..When I plug it into my laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' along with the name of my Ipod does not apperar.
My Ipod and Itunes are upto to date. After Itunes opens a small box with the word Ipod appears near the top of the right side of the screen. Then screen will go through the five steps of syncing. Afterward, still nothing has transfered to my Ipod(The box next to the songs I wanted were check)
ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

When i connect my iphone to my imac itunes opens but my itunes is not there. My wife has recently added herself to the computer

When i connect my iphone to my imac, itunes opens but my itunes is not there. My wife has recently added herself to the computer
and her itunes appears but i cannot find my itunes?

Not really! Anyhow, what do you want to achieve. The only things you can access in your iPad outside of using iTunes are photos and videos. [Locate the iPad as any other external device through Windows Eplorer or Finder and dig through the folders.]
You are fortunate that iTunes opens when you connect the iPad since many other users have difficulty in achieving this. It is from there that you can manage what you want synced to the iPad.

Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

I thinks some folks got it to work by updating the PC's DirectX stuff
Here is a post by b noir on that

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

Hello samayaa,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have you tried either restarting or resetting your iPhone? If not please do so by following the directions in the article below.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Hold the shift key upon boot, that will disable any boot loading third party kernel extension files.
Once you get in:
1: backup your user file folders to a external storage drive
2: go around and update all your third party software everywhere, including right clicking on third party system preference panes and removing them if necessary
3: any third party software that can't be updated, consider removing.
4: Look in your Console log files for "kernal protection" type messages to get a clue what's causing your problems.
Read about Gray, White and Blue, Kernel Panics here, they are usually always caused by third party software incompatibilities, but not always.
