QuickTime won't respond

My question as it is: two days ago I could play my mp3 disc via QuickTime, but from yesterday it constantly aborts its performance. When trying to get access to playlists through Finder the latter's getting freezed too. Could my upgrade to the latest iTunes version be the cause and what should I do? This is the second board of Apple support community I'm trying to find any idea and there're gargantuan amount of threads on QuickTime issues, so please, if mine is replicating someone's send me direct link. Anyway, even your minimal participation would be welcomed enormously.

QuickTime is actually the engine *under* the iTunes player, so it's unlikley that iTunes updating would affect your playback of the disks - esp. so if you were using QT on them.
The Finder freezing upon reading disks is a hallmark of 1. a drive packing it in, OR 2. a disk that has gotten bit-rot.
Can you use other disks in your drive? Do DVD's play okay?
Optical drives are cranky beasts and as the push is on to flash memory on everything, it's getting harder and harder to find good quality disks. I have found that the Verbatim disks are VERY good and burned at no higer than 4x speed, they last and don't break down quickly at all (NEVER let a disk sit in sunlight!)
Memorex and Maxell ones are notorious for failing and if the disks you got were old and discounted, the mylar that's inside breaks down with ANY exposure to sunlight or heat..(hot warehouses are common) or if they were burned at high speed the burn itself was quick and isn't likely to last.

Quicktime won't respond after screen recording

This is so frustrating, and it happened TWICE!!!
So, I do "Speed-Paints"--which I need a screen recorder to do it--which, are me drawing stuff and posting it to you YouTube. So, as I said, I need a screen recorder to work properly.
The first time it happened:
- I was drawing like I was normally did, and hoped the recording didn't last over 30 minutes. It was actually two hours, whoops. So, I click the stop button to save the recording, and it freezes and I get the (what I call) "Rainbow Spinning Wheel" (Mac's version of Window's hourglass). So, after 5 minutes of Rainbow Spinning Wheel, I wonder what's taking so long. After another 5 minutes, Quicktime crashes. Wasting MY time. Thanks.
Just now:
- I got in the mood to speedpaint, and remembered the last time I tried to record(mentioned above). So I decide to draw in parts, so save time and hopefully not run Quicktime for over an hour. So, I get the sketch and lines recorded(or so I thought). I hide Manga Studio(the program I was using), and click the stop button. Same thing as before, and it's still stuck in Rainbow Spinning Wheel!!! The recording was only 17 minutes, not even!!
So, any suggestions on how I can fix this? Or any recommendations on other screen recordings that won't crash and waste people's time?!
Thanks

I've had this problem as well and it's so frustrating! I do speed paints too and it's like you lose all your hard work OTL but I did two short screen record tests and apparently, one with Manga Studio 5 and the other with Photoshop CS6 and it only happened with Manga Studio 5 ;n; I really prefer Manga Studio though and it's really painful... But, good luck to you, I hope this helped!

QuickTime X wouldn't have given the error message if it could have opened the file.
There are many file formats and codecs it can't view.

ITunes 7.5 won't Respond. please help!!

hey all. I'm using Mac OS X version 10.3.9

Have you had a look at this page, it may be of some help: iTunes for Windows in Windows XP or Windows 2000 doesn't open after upgrading

ITunes won't open and when it does it won't respond

No error message appears when it won't start - if I try to end the process in task manager, iTunes will open but it won't respond. It'll just have the loading cursor whenever I mouse over iTunes. I've tried opening in Safe Mode and that's worked before but now it still won't respond. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it too.

sounds like you got a bad copy uninstall it and download a new one from itunes.com

Bottom of my ipod screen won't respond, so i reset factory settings as suggested, it didn't help and now i can't log in to itunes as my apple id password has numbers in it

few issues here. firstly, the bottom section of my ipod touch 4th gen won't respond. it'll let me slide to unlock but not tap anything, including to change between keyboards which brings me onto my second problem. i did a factory reset because a few people on here had suggested it, but now i can't log into my apple account because my password has numbers in. is there a way to bypass this requirement? or fix my ipod? i can't afford a replacement

jeez guys thanks for the help!

HT1476 I can't tell if my ipod touch 3rd gen is really charging. I have it plugged in, but it will sometimes show the charging icon and then it won't respond to anything. I ddon't know if you need itunes to be on your computer to charge it.

Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. How can I get my pictures recovered?

My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. All I get is the Apple sign. I connected to my computer and tried updating and was able to download the USB connection for the device but received an error when it tried to update the ipod. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from the device before I try to recover? At this point my pictures are more valuable to me than restoring the device. How can I get my pictures recovered?
Now it looks like I have the Apple with an line under it on the screen, but still not responsive.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) won't respond.

Hi,
I have a 1st Generation iPod Touch (8GB) and it won't respond to anything. I tried restoring and resetting and charging. When I plug the iPod into my Mac (10.2 Macbook Pro) the iTunes (which is very up-to-date) won't even recgonize it. My computer doesn't even recognize it as a storage unit. I tried all of the USB ports and multiple cables but stil, nothing is happening. I can't even get the screen to turn on and display the apple.
What should I do? Is the battery dead or is my iPod completely dead?
Thanks!

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I use a lot of Adobe PSE programs, especially PSE 9. All of a sudden PSE 9 became dysfunctional. The cursor won't respond. Do I have to buy PSE 9 again ?

I use a lot of Adobe PSE products (photography) especially PSE 9. All of a sudden, the cursor on PSE 9 began to malfunction. It won't respond to some of the tools, it'll pick the wrong tool, etc. Do I jave to rebuy another new version of PSE 9 or simply move on ?

Reset the tools. Click on the little arrow, top left, on the option bar of one of the tools. That may fix it.
If not, suggest that you reset preferences to default.

Quicktime won't start on Windows 7

Hi all
I'm running Windows 7 (32bit) and lately Quicktime won't launch. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but there's no difference. I get an event log error shown below when trying to run it as an Administrator in case that was the problem.

iTunes won't run either, but I'm guessing this is due to the Quicktime issue? I've tried uninstalling both and just installing standalone Quicktime but it still won't run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Perfect, thanks.
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Unknown module for iTunes, QuickTime not launching either ... nowadays the first thing I check for with that combo is if another application (other than QuickTime) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on your PC.
First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

HP8610 Touchscreen Won't Respond - Wireless Light is On

The touchscreen on my 8610 is frozen. Discovered this when I tried to make a photocopy and the icon on the touchscreen wouldn't respond. I can still print wirelessly from my Macbook with no problem. The blue wireless light on the printer is on. I've been printing wirelessly, scanning, and copying for 6-months with no issue. Any help is appreciated.

Makes no difference. I unpluygged the printer, let it sit for 10+ minutes, plugged it directly into a wall socket, then turned it off/on using the power button on the printer. Still the same ... the wireless light is on, the touchscreen won't respond, but I can still print wirelessly from my computer.
