Program keeps freezing when trying to change library or restore ipod.

Having problems since updating like everyone else! Was missing files, etc.
I am trying to change the library location in preferences, but the program locks up when it is opening the window. Also freezing when I try to add a folder to the library.
I tried to restore my ipod on the summary page and same problem, opening window and it freezes. I have now reformatted my ipod and am trying to start fresh. Even reinstalled software, but no luck.
Help!

Me too .. very frustrating, spent the last 3 hrs looking for solutions.
Also noticed Apple has suspended downloads of itunes 6 for the time being ... wondering if its a related bug.

  • Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes

    Preview keeps freezing when trying to use sticky notes. I have forced quit it a number of times and also restarted my Macbook Air once to try to solve the problem. Does anyone have a solution?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Quit Preview. Go to /Users/lloyd/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and drag that folder to your Desktop then relaunch Preview.

  • My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

    AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

    Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

  • Wireless Printer keep freezing when trying to connect to network

    I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All In One and it keeps freezing whenever I try to connect it to the network via Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it asks for me to connect my network through Wireless Setup Wizard which I can't do. Please help me. This is urgent. Can you please try and use layman (simple) terms when replying as my knowledge on printers and laptops are not that great. 

    Hi @Zo_e178 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are experiencing connectivity issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • System preferences freezes when trying to change the date

    Hey guys,
    I've got a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.1. I'm having a problem with trying to change the time/date settings. Either going through the system preferences window or accessing it through clicking the clock in the top right and then 'open date & time', I get the spinning wheel and System Preferences crashes. Any ideas why?
    Regards,
    Phil

    You are probably running 10.4.10 in as much as the MacBook pro's came out well after 10.4.1 was released. In any case try deleting the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your user/library/preferences folder.

  • Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?

    My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?

    Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
    I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
    Doesn't delete anything though.

  • Frustrated! iPod keeps freezing when trying to update

    My 40G iPod keeps freezing whenever I try to update it. I plug it into the computer, iTunes starts but then freezes after a song or two. Sometimes it crashes me whole machine. In any case, I can't add any music to my iPod, rendering it useless. I've seen s imilar posts but no solutions. I installed the latest iPod updater software and am using the latest version of iTunes. Funnily, this problem didn't start until I upgraded to the newest iTunes. Can anyone help? This is very very frustrating.

  • Mac keeps freezing when trying to import video

    When I try to import video to my i5 iMac 21.5" it gets to about 5 seconds and then freezes the copying file tab has been on the screen constant now for 2 days, it plays all the video directly from disk but I am trying to put them on an external HDD which is formatted as per the reccomendations.  This is happening virtually everytime I try and copy any files including to the local drive.  Also whilst Im on the subject I installed a printer and for some reason it keeps dropping the printer so I have to install it every time I want to use the printer.  Both the HDD and printer are compatible with apple mac and all the files as I said earlier run from CD/DVD.  Im running OSX Lion and apart from the files I am trying to import and the printer software its a vanilla build.

    Try trashing iMovie preferences. They are in your home library>preferences.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Skype keeps freezing when trying to log in with Mi...

    I always skyped with a good friend of mine, but his laptop had a hardware issue which got fixed recently, so today we tried skyping again but it doesn't work for him anymore. When he opens skype, he clicks on the login with a microsoft account and then Skype just keeps loading and then freezes, he isn't able to log in at all.
    We tried uninstalling the skype and downloading the newest skype and installing that a few times, but the same problem keeps coming up.
    We tried deleting the shared.xml file in appdata, but after that Skype is nowhere to be found on the computer and when he installs skype again the file is back.
    He has windows 8.1, the newest skype and he uses AVG antivirus, it has always worked like that before. I hope someone can help us out.

  • Program keeps crashing when trying to export video

    I'm running off my motherboard GPU while my graphics card is getting repaired (should be here by next week).  I wanted to know why Premiere keeps shutting down when I'm trying to export.  Is it not supposed to be used without a dedicated graphics card? 
    I need to get a video project done by tomorrow and this is pretty annoying. 

    there are programs like core temp  to find out if the cpu is overheating.  prime95  will test your cpu/mbd/ram, but if you really want to test the ram its best to use memtest86.
    using the h100 is good to help get the heat generated by the cpu out of the case, but still need to have good ventilation from a few case fans. if that cooler isn't working well enough, or its too much heat for the mbd, you can go into the bios and try to under-clock the cpu so it wont run so hot.  if you are using an underpowered or cheap power supply, it wont be able to deliver enough clean power to the system when its under demand.

  • Itunes keeps crashing when trying to update library

    Every time I try to open itunes, it automatically tries to update my library. It gets about two thirds of the way through doing this, then the program stops working altogether, and "encounters a problem and needs to close".
    I've tried reinstalling the program, but it still has the same problem.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    So when you start iTunes with an empty library, does it open OK and then crashes when you try to import the xml file?
    If so I wonder if you have one of your files upsetting iTunes. You could try adding files a bit at a time. See this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856

  • Itunes keeps freezing when trying to download podcasts

    Ok before when i had 6.0 or something like that i was able to download 80 podcasts no problem now i ever since i updated to 7.0 my itunes would freeze everytime i download a podcast and since im subscribe to my podcasts itunes downloads them automatically. I have xp btw. Everytime i download a new software its the same problem, i tried to repair it reinstall it uninstalled it then installed it again, and i get the same thing. The only way itunes will work is if i turn off the internet which i prefer not to do because it might not turn off again. I tried to minimize the amount of podcasts that i download but it freezes anytime it wants. What is going on and how do i fix it?!

    I'm having a similar problem. I purchased a brand new HP Pavilion Media Center last week and installed the latest iTunes (7.3.2.6). Basic functionality was fine until I started setting up all my podcasts. If I subscribe to them too fast (ie - click subscribe on 6-10 of them within 10-15 seconds), the whole UI completely locks up and I have to hard boot the computer. Last night I was just updating/downloading a couple subscriptions while reading email and the whole computer locked up again. Very frustrating when it's a new computer!
