Temp solution to iTunes "Not Responding" when no network present

I turned off airport and unplugged ethernet, then started iTunes. It didn't crash, so I un-checked "Automatically check for iTunes updates" in iTunes prefs. Now it doesn't try to hit the network at launch, and it works fine. Just don't try to "Get CD track names" or anything else that requires the network, or iTunes will crash again.
Hope it helps

Itunes not responding when I sign into my apple ID. Otherwise itunes is working fine

Itunes functions properly when I am not signed into my Apple account. As soon as I sign in, it starts freezing and says Itunes not responding. It also normally saves my apple ID in itunes every time I open the application, but now each time I do it makes me sign in again. So frustrated...how do I fix this?

You are logging into the account that you bought those games with, and you haven't changed countries since buying them ? If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod then do they show on the account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they do then are they hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

ITunes not responding when I plug in my iPod

Hey all, I need some help. Recently when I plug my iPod into my PC to update my iPod with the new music that I have loaded into iTunes, as soon as I do iTunes stops working and when I checked in my windows task manager under appplications/status it says iTunes is not responding. when my iPod is not plugged in, iTunes works fine. I can't get past this. Yes I did load the updated software, it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Todd

This is also happening to me updated latest version of Itunes. Itunes works fine but doesn't show the ipod when I attach. Tried most of the hints on the web site but nothing is working. Plugged the ipod into my base station and hey presto it works fine. I have also tried top re load the ipod software on the lap top but this isn't working either it asks for the ipod to be plugged in when it is plugged in it doesn't see it. Yet in windows explorer you can see the ipod is connected. Any idea's anyone. Shall i try to install version 6.0.0 of itunes instead of the latest version ?

ITunes "Not Responding" when I try burning

Hello there,
I have been having this problem for quite a while. My iTunes stops working if I try to do anything involving burning. I can burn with media player and such and have no problems.
If I go to Edit, preferences, advanced, burning.. to change my options, iTunes freezes up and I have to CtrlAltDel and shut it down. And it always says "Not Responding" I tried just forgetting about the options and putting in the blank CD, but as soon as I press 'Burn Cd' the same thing happens. I tried downloading new versions and all of that, but it still doesn't work. I have had other problems with iTunes in the past but this is the first involving burning. I've even unistall - reinstalled but it doesn't make any difference. It used to burn just fine, and then it started freezing up in the preferences menu, now just today it has started freezing up when i hit 'burn cd'. Any idea how I fix this?

Itunes Not Responding when trying to eject Nano

Hello. It's my first time to post here. And that's because I've never had any problems before, but that's not the case anymore.
I recently upgraded itunes to 7.4.3.1. itunes works just fine until I try to add or remove songs or podcasts on my Nano. When I try to do this, it looks as if I can upload or remove songs, yet when I push the eject button to remove the nano, itunes freezes. I must right click on itunes in the taskbar and the not responding window opens and I must shut down itunes. I've left the ipod connected for an hour or more to see if that would help before trying to remove it, but that didn't not help.

I have the same problem. Itunes temporarily hangs when I do almost any activity. Then after several seconds of no apparent activity (and Not Responding in the Task manager), it wakes up.
The problem seems to be tied to Quick Time. Quick Time starts OK but has trouble and fits playing videos. I read in another post about uninstalling Quick Time then installing the stand alone version. Would that be appropriate for this problem?
In the previous version of Itunes and/or Quick Time I had no problems, everythign worked smoothly Thanks for any suggestions.

Itunes "Not Responding" when accessing Itunes Store.

I have the most recent version of Itunes and I have already re-installed once. The problem seems to be that every time Itunes tries to connect to the Store, Itunes goes into the "Not Responding" state. What are the steps I need to take to prevent this? I have also tried the comman for the restart and that still didn't work.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Itunes not responding when connecting iPhone 4s

Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac with iTunes open, iTunes stops responding. iPhoto comes up ok, but iTunes just has the coloured circle cursor and I have to force quit iTunes. i have tried reloading iTunes. iTunes won't let me send it to trash either. Help getting exasperated.
Thanks

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Itunes not responding when ipod is connected.

first i should say that my ipod has been acting slow the past couple days. if i'm scrolling through songs it will frequently freeze for a few seconds before moving on to the next song that i scrolled to. plugging my ipod into my computer last night i noticed my itunes page was black with a few words showing. after fiddling with it for awhile i unplugged my ipod and the itunes screen disappeared as soon as i did. today when i turned on my computer, with my ipod already connected, the black itunes screen appeared again. this did not make any of my computers other functions slower.. it was just annoying as i couldn't minimize it or exit the program. i went to task manager to try to end program but that didn't work. again i simply unplugged my ipod and the screen went away as soon as i did. i brought up itunes without the ipod connected and it came up fine, it plays music, and it runs smooth, but as soon as i connect the ipod it will freeze and i can't do anything until i disconnect. i'm not sure how to fix this problem and with the sluggish-ness of my ipod before i connected i started thinking maybe my ipod has a bug. i have the latest version of itunes installed, and i have vista on my computer. any help would be appreciated! thanks!

after letting it sit for awhile my itunes finally decided to work, but it's running very slow, especially when i try to put any music from my library onto my ipod.

ITunes not responding when I open it

After not using iTunes for about a week, I opened it and was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes. I did so, and followed the commands throughout the downloading process (or so I thought), but now when I click to open iTunes, it does not do anything. Even when I connect my iPod to my computer, it iTunes does not open or recognize it. What should I do? If I remove and reinstall iTunes, will I lose all the music already on there?

Im having the same problem. I always open up the Windows Task Manager. When I click on the shortcut, ITunes appears in the Processes Tab, but then disappears after a few seconds. This has been happening to me for about a year, and i used to be able to open it by following the instructions below:
1) Go to "start" and click "run"
2) Type in "msconfig" and click OK
3) Click on the "servives" tab
4) MAKE SURE TO CHECK "hide all microsoft services"
5) Click on "disable all"
6) Check "Ipod Service"
7) Click on the "Startup" tab
8) Press "Disable All"
9) Check "Itunes Helper" and "qttask"
10) Click OK and Restart
I hope this helps. In the past i have been able to use this, but i guess there's a different problem with my iTunes this time. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Hope i helped!

Itunes ''not responding'' when iphone connected

Hi
I have had an iphone 3g for 12 months and has been fine until very recently.
Whenever i connect it to itunes now it crashes itunes almost immediately. I have updated itunes but it hasnt solved it. It seems to charge the phone but just crashes itunes.as soon as i disconnect the cable itunes runs fine. however i have another iphone cable which i tried and it seemed to solve the problem but this solution only lasted about a week before the same thing occured. I have sinced purchased a new cable on the off chance and it still dosnt help?????
any advice

They sometimes get corrupted on the phone, thus can cause the problem you experienced. The suggestion to reinstall itunes was done first because we always want to try and preserve data. Since that didn't work, we start to look at potential data problems. Glad we got it worked out.
You're welcome.

I have a problem with the latest version of itunes not responding when i open it.

Every time i open itunes on my PC i cant do any thing and have to use task manager to close it as it keeps not responding

Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all. Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff. I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management. The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
I like to listen to podcasts. What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store. So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version. Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod.
