Sleeping computer causes iTunes to not respond

Currently running Windows 7 64bit. Whenever I sleep my computer with iTunes paused, upon awakening iTunes will stop responding. The only way to close the program is to do it manually with the task manager. Any way to fix this? Or is it just a bug for windows? This has only started happening since i updated to iTunes 10.0

I have the exact same problem. It seems as though the sync simply never ends and then you have to force quit itunes. I thought I had this fixed by doing a restore on the itouch that wiped out all the data and settings and took four hours, but I hooked my itouch up to sync again tonight and am having the same problem. Will someone please answer this question so I don't have to endure a wait at the apple store. iTouch seems cool but if this doesn't get fixed it will seem like just another piece of c**p.

  • Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

    Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
    Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks.  Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time.  It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.).  In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second.  This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second.  Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly.  Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable.  Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen.  I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background.  Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks).  My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background. 
    I really don't understand:
    1.  Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file.  Even converting a single track takes a few minutes.  I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
    2.  Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking."  It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
    3.  Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running?  I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
    I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes).  However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer.  Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change.  I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

    Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
    As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

  • Ipod causes Itunes to not respond,unable to restore - another app running

    I am an original Ipod mini user.I have not had many previous problems.Now,I want to update my Ipod but I get into a very frustrating loop when I connect my Ipod to Itunes 7.0.29-latest version. My Ipod is recognized but the program freezes after a very short while.I have to go to Task Manager to unfreeze the software and I cannot get anything to load onto the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod,I get a message that it "cannot be restored because another application is running".This is frustrating because there is nothing else running.
    I am in a no win loop that I cannot recover from.Can someone please help.
    Thanks,

    Have you disable the anti-virus software yet?

  • Itunes goes not responding after add file or folder

    After running itunes for several years on my computer, the programs becomes "not responding" when I try to add a file or folder or import. Upon selecting File Menu > Add file or add folder, I get the hour glass cursor and no other action (no windows open, no error messages). I have to go to task manager and kill itunes in order to get the program functioning. I have uninstalled itunes and re-installed it and continue to have the same issue. Any ideas on what I should try next?

    Are you almost out of hard drive space?

  • ITunes is not responding after transferring files to iPod Touch

    I upgraded iTunes to iTunes 8.2.0.23 last week. I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB) running v. 2.2.1. Since upgrading iTunes, after copying new files onto my iPod Touch, both iTunes and the Touch indicate "Syncing in progress" for several minutes after the files have been copied. Eventually, the Touch's screen will stop displaying the syncing message and turn itself off but iTunes stays on "Syncing in progress". I am unable to eject the Touch (although I know I don't have to). In fact iTunes is completely locked up. When I go to the Windows Task Manager, it shows that iTunes is not responding. I end the task there and it closes iTunes. This happens every time I add new files to the Touch.
    I've read in various discussion pages about similar problems occuring but they all involve Version 3.0 Touch's or iPhones. Perhaps this is something particular with iTunes 8.2.0.23. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The issue was, I store my music on my Windows Home Server and had my iTunes library connected to it over the network. When I transferred my music locally to my computer, the issue stopped. So, I guess the answer is, don't sync your iTunes library from a Windows Home Server.

  • Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
    Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    or my usual solution for Windows Users.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

  • Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Help Please.

    Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Running Windows XP. Help please.

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

  • I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!
