New Install iTunes 7.0 keeps freezing...

and locking up my computer. Have to restart every time.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0. Every time I open it, it goes into this "Determing Gapless Payback" thing, and after getting through about 100 of my 4,000 songs, it freezes and nothing but the twirly wheel cursor thing shows. Nothing else happens.
Then, I try to force quit. iTunes goes away from the force quit menu, but the little carrot remains below the icon in the dock. Eventually, the finder and more or less my whole computer freeze... what gives?
Thanks. Getting desperate for tunes.

Found the answer on another post

  • Itunes,on XP,keeps freezing

    latest Itunes,on XP,keeps freezing when try burn playlist, was working fine week ago,any ideas?

    I couldnt find a topic for my question, so maybe you could help...when creating an account on itunes, why does it ask for credit card info? And what if you purchase or redeem itune cards for purchasing songs, do you still need to register a credit card, this seems lame. Is there any way around this?, (Also how do you post a new topic in here?) thanks...

  • ITunes 7.6 Keeps Freezing!

    i just upgraded to 7.6, after having numerous problems with 7.5. now i still have all of the problems of 7.5 (burning/importing very very slow), but now, itunes 7.6 keeps freezing for like 30 secs, about every other minute. its INCREDIBLY annoying. anyone got any tips on how to fix this?
    example: when i right click on a song, the menu doesnt pop up for 30 secs, and if im listening to a song, the track time will freeze for about 30 secs.

    Dreifort,
    Are you saying that Bonjour is what's causing your system to freeze or are you just noticing that Bonjour was installed with iTunes 7.6?
    Sharing of music between computers on the same network (i.e. people on the same router) has been part of iTunes since iTunes 4.1 which was the first version that ran on Windows. The difference being that in previous versions Bonjour was compiled into the application, making the iTunes application bigger and now it is a separate external service.
    Bonjour is currently required for a number of features in iTunes. (1) sharing between local computers, (2) remote speakers or sharing between your computer and your stereo, and (3) Apple TV or sharing between your computer and your TV. iTunes has and will continue to ship technology (like Quicktime) that it needs to make its features work.
    Nothing is being (or has ever been) sent back to Apple or any Apple server via Bonjour network connections.

    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.

  • I dont know what to do i try install itunes and this keeps coming up "itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes  error 7 (windows error 127)" what should i do?

    i dont know what to do i try install itunes and this keeps coming up "itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes  error 7 (windows error 127)" what should i do?

    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • ITunes 7 Burning keeps freezing when importing?!

    I try to import cd's from the new iTunes 7 and with cd's that are even barely scratched and it keeps freezing in the middle like it can't read the cd's. I've imported the same cd's on my powerbook and no problem, anyone else having similiar problems?

    in itunes, under preferences - go to advanced.
    under the importing tab, check use error correction when reading audio cds.
    see if that helps.

  • New installed iTunes 9 cancelled my Windows XP Pro ability to read CD drive

    I followed iTunes instructions to uninstall and re-install iTunes and related software. Now my Dell computer with Windows XP Pro will not read a music CD. What did the iTunes instructions delete or fail to re-install... so I can read and copy my CD music to iTunes 9?
    Thanks

    If you copied folders from another PC to your new PC, You need to check the permissions. You probably do not have permission to write to your iTunes Music folder.
    Your account needs to have full control of the iTunes folder and all sub folders. You should take ownership of the folders too.
    Here is some vista help, it should be similar for Windows 7:

  • TS3212 I cant seem to install itunes. I keep getting erro message. I have followed steps 1 thru 6. what can I do?

    I have tried unistalling and reinstalling follow the steps provided in apple support.  Im still getting an error message.  Please help.

    Assuming here that your error message is being described in your tags on the original post.
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
