New song freeze my laptop

When Itunes play a song, it freezes my computer for about 5 seconds. This happens everytime a new song starts, and it occurs aprrox. 10 sec. into the song. I have my songs on a LaCie external harddisk, but it also happens it the music library is on the internal harddisk. Can anybody help me to fix this problem?

You can try this:
1) restart your computer
2) once restarted, do not run anything else, except for launching iTunes manually
3) connect your devices to your computer
If the problem persists, more troubleshooting is required, see below:

I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
Please help!!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

How to upload new songs while not wanting to synchronise?!?!! help!!!

i have an iPhone 3G and have had it for a little while now. I used to have a pc and uploaded songs from my pc to my iPhone. Now i changed from that PC to a laptop and just downloaded a new iTunes because i want to add some new songs. iTunes asks to synchronise my iPhone, which means (as far as i know) delete all the songs already on the iPhone and put the ones on the iPhone which you have in iTunes. I do want to keep the songs i already have on my iPhone but i also want new songs!! Any ideas of how i can put new songs from my laptop to my iPhone without synchronising????????!!!
help would be appreciated since it's kind of starting to annoy me now..
thanks already

I have the same problem. I purchased a new computer apple gives u this thing where it can authorize the computer but wont allow you to use the music from your itunes #1 to put on itunes#2. I contacted apple support and was informed that it could be done yet he couldnt tell me b/c it wasnt supported by apple. He said it was via some third party company that it could be done and told me to come to this forum in hopes someone posted it. He also told me to try and google the answer and one final and last resort was to export the music from itunes #1 and place on a disk and upload that music to itune#2. Oh well not gonna work for me for my hard drive to itunes#1 is 300 miles away.
It's kinda strange that there was a situation where we could have put all this music on itunes#1 with the same phone not be able to be loaded onto a nother comupter what a waste!!!

- Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- Also try here assuming a PC. The link provides a link for XP.

I tried to sync some new songs bought from iTunes into my ipod using my laptop, (for the first time). It would not add the new songs to the ipod. I tried several times, with same result. I never had this problem using my desk top computer.

I also am having a problem with the songs I purchased using the laptop not showing on the desk top itunes, even though it is authorized to do so. The new songs did show up on the iPad iTunes, however. Have no idea why. I thought this happened automatically.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

How can i synchronise new songs in the playlist from a new laptop

I have the iTunes v12 on a Windows 8.1 Operating system.Previously i used to synchronize songs from an older latop with Windows 7 which had all the songs.But now i recently shifted to a new laptop which is not having any songs of the existing playlist and now i want to synchronize new songs to this existing play list without removing the songs which are already present in the playlist

Hi. You have 3 possibilities to do that:
- Simply click on the song name and you should be able to rename
- Select the song first > right click > Get Info > Go to Info tab
- Select the song first > keyboard shortcut ⌘I

I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop. I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months. I just purchased a new song. I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist. I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist. In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer. Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program. It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer. This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Check system requirements:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The main issue might be having too little RAM. Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

The new system should install on top of the old one. That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system. In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone. Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes. It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library. If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about.
This is well within what many people can do at home. It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

Hi NYYJMM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

Launch iTunes on your computer. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Now sync your iPod.
If you still can't sync the music to your iPod, could be your PC security software preventing the sync process.

The only way I can put new songs on my iphone4 is by creating a new playlist before I plug it onto my computer. Very irritating. Its locked onto my friends computer but I know have my own laptop. Help?

W/o knowing that it would lock onto my friends computer, I plugged it in and now that I have my own laptop it does not let me put on new songs from my own itunes library. I have to create a music playlist first on my iphone, then plug it into my macbook, then drag the songs onto that specific playlist. Its annoying. Help or any suggestions, thank youuuuuu

IGNORE...just solved my own problem. ty

ITunes freezes when loading new songs to iPod

I have a 60 gig video iPod. I am running the latest version of iTunes with a library of 21886 songs (73 days).
Recently, iTunes has been unable to load new songs to the iPod. It simply freezes while loading the new songs.
I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, but this didn't resolve the problem. (The uninstall was performed using the iTunes software, so it continued to recognize the previously existing music library upon reinstall).
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix the problem?

FIrst goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime there. DIsable antivirus and download/install the latest version off apple.com
It may be where your library is so big. Also try updating the ipods software witht eh ipod updater 06-28-2006

Sync freezes my laptop

Hi
I have the following set up: IPod touch 32GB, Vista Business OS and a new Vaio BX61MN. When I go to sync my touch with ITunes after transferring around 50 songs from my 3,000 library across to the touch......it freezes.
Laptop becomes totally frozen and after 30 mins this message comes up +"IPoint.exe has stopped working"+ I also get a separate box which says +"The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1450)"+
What I believe is happening here is that iTunes has problems accessing data off the SATA hard drive and so is freezing.
This is what I have been doing:
1) Turn on laptop.
2) Connect iPod touch to laptop to open ITunes.
3) IPod and iTunes automatically begin to sync.
4) 3,000ish songs start to sync, after 40 to 120 songs sync copy across to my ipod touch the laptop freezes up.
At this time I cannot shut iTunes’s down or open up any other programme. The whole thing sits there like a lemon for ages, 30 mins plus. I have recently discovered that if I unplug the iPod (which I hate to do unless by the correct methods) then the laptop gets back some functionality but it runs as if 25megs of ram were installed, runs like a pig until I reboot which can take 30 mins to 3 hours in one case.
If I switch sync off then I can drag the entire library into my touch with no problems, it all transfers across but after that when I switch sync back on.......it freezes again even though it is not now moving songs onto my iPod.
Any help would be great.

I'm having trouble importing my songs from my laptop to my iPhone, and the thing is i don't know whether the iTunes on my iPhone is broken or the one in my laptop is error. I've tried every possible way, but i can't figure it out.

i really need help in this one because it's been like two or three months since i last imported my songs. i think the first cause to this problem was because i imported my song but i think my phone at that time didn't have enough storage or enough space for any other file. so some of the songs were imported completely, but the others weren't. so i thought it was normal bc ive been through this once, but then the next time i tried again, it still didn't worked so i deleted the none-completed imported songs and tried over three times but it didn't work, yet again. so i left it like that for about a few weeks and i tried again but it didn't worked as well. i started to browse some solution to this and i've tried to delete the songs that weren't completed and transfer the songs (which didn't work), and a few others but then i think i miss clicked a button that automatically imports all the songs in my laptop that wasn't on my phone and suddenly a few of my songs from my iphone was labeled not completely imported. i tried syncing but it got stuck on the third step which was "configuring purchased songs" and i tried updating to the new version recently but it hadn't worked too, and i wanted to try to rebuild my itunes but i didnt have the guts to do it. my total play counts has gone mad because the songs that i listen to the most, the 'plays' went from 30 to 20000+, it was just random numbers. i couldn't sync my iphone and so my photos went from 1000 to 2000, my songs were supposed to be 1200+ but its stuck on 700, my videos were supposed to be 6 but it went up to 10.
i know the description may be a little bit too confusing but please try to understand it because i can't solve this problem.

I bought 26 new songs under my work e-mail and now i can't copy them to my i-pod because it has another music library on it. How can i combine both user id's to the same purchased account

I have 2 user id's with apple, i bought 26 songs from my laptop recently using my work e-mail. I plug my i-pod to sync it and it says that my i-pod is tuned with another library. i don't want to erase the songs I have already because they are about 760 and the new ones are 26 only. how can I combine both user id's and consolidate all the music into one user id?
everytime i try to do something it asks me to reset the password. I have done it already 6 times.
there is no phone # to call.
Thanks
Elena

Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.
