The beachball appears everytime i open itunes......

everytime i open itunes, the beachball comes on!!!! I have all the latest software updates. Itunes immediately load on the store and then when i swith to my library it freezes when it gets to my library. I close all of my running applications and shutdown my computer as well because i thought that there might be some interference. I dont know if it has something to do with it attempting to try and download 8 podcasts either. but i tried to pause them being downloaded and right when i do that, i get the beachball as well.
What is the deal. I got a macbook 1.83 intel processor, 120 GB hard drive and and 2 GB of memory!!!!!

The same thing has just started happening on my Mac Book Pro. I'd like to hear any suggestions for a cure too.

How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes?

How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes? I have 200 apps and to have to click 200 times for every app to confirm I do not want to replace my newer version with an older version is a serious bug! Is there something to click off the check, I have already told the preferences to stop checking for new software!

I have resolved the problem. Steps to resolution:
1. Deleted all applications inside the folder "Automatically added to iTunes," many of those apps were also inside the Mobile Applications folder.
2. Next, I uninstalled iTunes, and downloaded the latest version of iTunes.
3. Restarted the computer.
4. Installed the newest version of iTunes.
This repaired the problem.

I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork and it began to download the duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help

I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork, wondering what it does, and it began to download a duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help

It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

everytime i open itunes its making me locate the songs everytime, I need to reload my music and it takes hours to load

Hi there slp1175!
It seems like your iTunes library is not pointing to the location of your iTunes Media folder. I have an article for you that can explain how to make your iTunes library source from your iTunes Media folder location, no matter where it is. That article can be found here:

Is there any way to permanently delete the downloads in tunes that start everytime I open iTunes?

With Snow Leopard if you delete a file (put it the trash) and then do a secure delete it's gone.
The OP is adressing SSD's in particular. Neither Snow Leopard nor Lion have the ability to secure erase an SSD of a single file by user action. This because SSD's write data in pages, but can only delete in blocks. Secure emptying of the trash on an SSD is no different than a non-secure erase, as the controller will not permit erasure of blocks until the entire block is freed, which is almost never the case with even group file deletion. Erasure is simply the re-writing of the "allocation table" that the pages are no longer in use.
SSD's are only rendered "erased" of previous data after an indeterminate period of use, and re-use that would eventually free blocks for re-write, and then actually over-written.
TRIM helps speed this process, but does not alleviate the block versus page issue.
Some additional info.

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

Does that clear up the compatibility message?

Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

This is a know problem with the Sony Vaio.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277#8537277
There is some preloaded software that causes problems, I believe it can be configured to exclude the iTunes folder.
Sony have released a software update for some models of Vaio but I don't have the link to hand. I guess you could look on their support site.

Everytime I open iTunes, my iTunes Match sync is down

Hi everybody.
Everytime I open iTunes, my iTunes Match sync is down.
iTunes show me this icon
and I need to deactivate and re-activate iTunes Match from the Store menù.
I have a PC with Win 7 Pro x64.
I have the last build of iTunes.
I tried to uninstall it, delete the iTunes folder in AppData folder, WHITOUT delete my playlist and then reinstall it.
Did someone can help me?

I have the same issue but do not have McAfee installed. I am running Win7 64-bit. Problem solved by following these steps:
Open Computer from the Start menu.
From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
Under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
Restart the computer.

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
Any help would be appreciated

Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.
