My itunes program takes 1 hour to open on Windows 7

At first I thought my itunes was broken. Now I discovered it takes about 1 hour to open the application on my windows 7 computer. What has happened?
The rest of my computer seems fine. So frustrating!!!!

Hello there Tonyal8507,
I was researching what might cause performance issues with iTunes on a Windows computer and found this lil gem. Named Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4123, I think it will help you out.
If that troubleshooting does not resolve your issue, you may want to consider recreating your iTunes library.

I update my iPhone in iTunes, and after some time, opened a window saying "rosolvendor conflict" and asking me to choose, giving me two options, showing the name of a friend who also has an iPhone. Can anyone help me?

Dear Tim,
I saw your message. Below are the problems:
Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
The above is the challenges I am facing now.

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

I updated my Itunes but now when i open the window it's blank. I'm not sure what to do.

You might try this tip....iTunes 11.1.3 appears to have flawed permissions:
Repair permissions either with Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder or on the command line with:
diskutil repairPermissions /

ITunes program closes immediately after opening.

Don't know if anyone is able to help, but I have downloaded the latest iTunes program and now everytime I open the program it immediately closes. It is too fast in closing to click on anything within the program. I contacted Technical support who told me to uninstall and reinstall, which I did, but that hasn't solved the problem. Is it a problem unique to me, or a problem with the program. Any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks for the reply to my message, I really appreciate the time that you have taken to assist.
I have checked Quicktime and that appears to be working normally.
I have checked Task Manager Processes tab while starting iTunes and iTunes.exe appears as the program is opening, but disappears when the program closes.
I have run a full system scan, and apart from a 'tracking cookie' that I fixed, the system is clean.
I then went to the link that you suggested and started to 'troubleshoot'. I initially created a New User Account, and was able to determine that the problem DID NOT occur in the new account. As such, I went to 'User-Specific Troubleshooting'.
I deleted the SC Info.sidb file as directed with no change to the problem. I also removed 'iTunes Plug-ins' as directed with no luck in fixing the problem, as well I removed 'iTunes preference files' with no luck either.
I am unable to 'Recreate my iTunes Library', or 'Check for content files with issues' as directed in the next step as the iTunes program problem that I have only has the program opening for one second before closing.
Again, I really am thankful for your reply, and any other assistance or advice you are able to provide to help fix the problem would also be greatly appreciated.

Itunes 11 takes forever to load in windows 7

Hi I am running the latest version of iTunes for windows 7 64X. The program takes up to 5 minutes or so to load, and once it does, it does not start right away. Also I am having issues with it syncing with my iPhone 4. Please let me know what I should do to fix this issue.

It starts up slowly for me as well but it doesn't take that much time to load. Have you tried defragging your drives?

Itunes suddenly not able to open on windows 7

Hey,
Suddenly, iTunes will not open on windows 7. If I try to open it, it appears in the taskbar, but will disapear from the taskbar a second later.
I have been using iTunes on this computer for 3 months, and this is the first trouble I have had with it. A day before this happened, it would not recognise
that I plugged my iPod Touch (Even though windows regonized it as a camer, like always.) It kept trying to wifi sync, which wouldn't work because our wifi wasn't working at the time.
Thanks for any help.

Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

Additions to iTunes library take hours to appear

Mac OS X 10.7.2
iTunes 10.5.1 with iTunes Match on
Whenever I try to add music or movies files to my iTunes library it takes them hours and several restarts of iTunes to appear in the appropriate section of the library.
I should note that songs purchased from the iTunes store exhibit the same behavior, but they are listed immediately in the Purchased playlist.
Has anyone else experienced similar behavior?

No I haven't. I tried almost everything possible but without any remarkable shift. I am about to sell my brand new iPod:(

HT203175 I don't know whether these articles apply or not. Here's what I seeing in my iTunes program. When I open iTunes, I see little exclamation points next to EVERY song that has been downloaded. Therefore, I can't play them from my computer or dwnl

Can somebody help me get rid of these exclamation points so that I can download all my songs to my iPod? Please? I don't know why they appeared, as I did have the songs working before and they were on my iPod. But, I didn't want ALL of them on there and I didn't know I could "select" which songs to send to the iPod. However, it's been a few months since I messed with it. But, yesterday, when I went to select my songs, I noticed all these excalamation points on everything that was there. Help, please! Again, I can't play them from my computer AND they won't download to my iPod!
Thanks,

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

HT1498 Is it typical for a rented movie through iTunes to take hours to download?

I rented a movie through iTunes which was paid for without trouble. Now, whenever I go to start the movie, it says it needs at least 4 hours to load. I'm just trying to make sure that this is typical for Apple TV and nothing to do with any problems with the Apple TV.

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

After installing iTunes 7.6, whenever I open it, Windows Installer launches

I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 yesterday. Whenever I open the program now, Windows Installer launches. No idea what's causing this. I'm tried reinstalling, rebooting, but nothing helps.
Anybody know how to fix this?

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Thunderbird freezes and takes forever to open "write window" when I try to send emails

I'm using Thunderbird 31.4.0 and when I wanna send an email Thunderbird freezes and it takes forever (in this case 20+ seconds) for the "write" window to open and ALLWAYS with the recipient left out.... and oh please don't get me started on how long forever is when I try to reply an email........
Thanks

I'm using AVG Internet Security 2015 and I should perhaps also mention that I have a chosen few Thunderbird add-ons (adblock, email security and a few others) installed and that it works "so-so" when I run Thunderbird in "safe mode".
