TimeCapsule freezing when working (transfer/iTunes) HDD, light off

Hi,
My 1TB dual band TimeCapsule (December 2010 -> 15 days before guaranty expires !!) is freezing (still connected to WiFi but not possible to connect another device (even through wired connection), no internet, no TimeCapsule files, not seen in Airport Utility, light off) randomly when I use its HDDs "intensively", it means downloading podcasts in iTunes (library is on TimeCapsule) or moving big files between USB and/or internal HDD on TimeCapsule to my MacBook internal HDD through Wifi.
Thanks in advance.
Desperatly,
M

To know whether a song file is corrupt, find it in Windows, right-click the file and use Open With > iTunes. If the file is OK, it will add to the library and start playing. If iTunes thinks the file is not valid, it will "error silently," i.e. do nothing.
The other thing to note is that big Adds sometimes error in iTunes for no apparent reason. If the files are not corrupt, and they don't add in big batches, add them in smaller batches.

ITunes 10.3.1 always freezes when I transfer stuff to ipad / iphone

Hi all. I have a problem regarding iTunes 10.3.1, I'm sorry if this has already been asked/solved, but I searched for this and I don't find where it is.
Before 10.3.1 everything was ok, then I updated it and it keeps on freezing when I transfer ebooks (pdf format) to stanza. I thought the problem was stanza, so I downloaded cloud reader but the problem is the same.
I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it but it's always the same. My iphone (3) & ipad (1) firmware is updated.
I heard of other people with the same problem but I cannot find the solution...
thanks

Ok it is syncing now but it is still on "Step 1 of 5 - Backing Up". It has been like this for ten minutes or so I must add.

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
Greetings,
Daniel

If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it. No guarantees, but it may help. For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that. AE wasn't.

Snow leopard freezes when I open Itunes

I have a a Mid 2007 iMac, 20" screen 4 Ghz memory, 250 HD that originally came that with 10.4.10 that I have upgraded to 10.6.3. The computer would freeze up on me occasionally on start up. but pmce rebooted it would run fine. However, the freezing became more frequent to the point that I ran a hardware test first, which it passed. I re-imaged the imaged the machine with the original 10.4.10. The computer did not freeze when I opened Itunes, however, when I put 10.6.3. the computer is freezing when I open Itunes.

I think you might be a bit confused. You can update from 10.6.3. to 10.6.8 without cost, and indeed running software update should have done that for you.
There is no issue with running iTunes on Snow Leopard (10.6.x). If you're having problems, the most likely explanation is that you have some 3rd party software that is causing the issue. In order to determine what that is the first thing you should do is remove everything from your login items and then restart the mac.
To remove your login items, go to
 > System Preferences > Accounts | Login Items
Select everything in the Login Items list and hit the minus '-' button underneath the login items list. Do NOT check the 'Hide' button. That has no effect.
After clearing the login items list, restart your mac and test to see if the problem remains. If so, post back and we''ll do the next step.

IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
Here is what I have tried:
• All software updated
• Ipod was reformatted and restored
• iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

Why does photoshop 13 freeze when working in Editor

Two months ago I had difficulty starting Editor when working in PE 12 and after lengthy chat lines with adobe support I was advised that PE12 was corrupt and I should update to Photoshop Elements 13. I reinstalled windows 7 and then Photoshop 13 and this worked fine until recently. Now when working in Editor after editing photos for an hour or so Editor freezes. It seems to be after I have printed off photos. The only was to close Editor is to go into the Task Manager. Anyone else had similar problems?

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

GPIB read freezing when running vi without debug light ... (it works with the light)

I have a gpib read that spits out two values at a offset. This is in a loop thats defined by the initial , final and step size parameters. My question is, why does the gpib read freezes (or doesn't exectue; whenever I turn the debug light on(after it's been run), it 'lights' up only till the gpib read and nothing further). I replaced the gpib read with visa read , it doesn't freeze anymore but it only records zeros (when I can clearly see my system outputting some values). Any help would be appreciated.
*there was a similar topic about debug light and the reasoning was made to be a race condition. but I dont see how my situation is a race condition.
Thanks,

I wrote my code from an ancient driver set. I figured why to mess with something that's already working. So, I built it all on gpib.
This brings up an ancient scrap I have with National Instruments. Namely, they advertize LabVIEW as something so easy to use, you can dive right in. Well the truth is, you can dive right in, but it's guaranteed you will be writing horrible code, and much more easily than with any other programming language.
In reality, you really have to have training, formal (classes) or informal (books on LabVIEW), just like with any other programming language. Because NI keeps promoting the LabVIEW Falsehood, you get managers that assign newbies to write complex code, and then you have issues like the one the poster has above.
I'll get off my soapbox now and return you to your local programming, already in progress...

IPhone 4S freezes when connected to iTunes

Hi all,
Here's what's been happening: just got an iPhone 4S handed down to me from my dad about a week ago. Initial set-up process went just fine, and I was able to transfer music onto it no problem. However, starting yesterday, every time I plug my iPhone into my computer, iTunes totally freezes up. After about 5 minutes it will eventually unfreeze and give me a "Waiting for sync to start" message. Then it freezes again. Then it decides to give up on the syncing process and unfreezes again. But then when I try to put any music on to the phone, it doesn't work - when I look at the phone's listing in iTunes, the songs are greyed out, as if they will eventually be transferred, but are never actually transferred over.
I've attempted to re-install iTunes and reset my iPhone, but neither has worked.
Can anyone help me out? My computer is a 64-bit Dell XPS running Windows 7.

duh.... my bad.
someone suggested I select it and give it a name... which I did and it worked.

Re: iTunes 11.1.3 freezes when connecting to ITunes Store

Pedro, thank you for your attempt at assistance,
I have NO third party plug-ins. The problem persists in Safe Mode:
Connecting my iPhone to a working iTunes session freezes iTunes, and it becomes unresponsive.
Trying to start iTunes while my iPhone is connected freezes iTunes and it becomes unresponsive.
PLEASE stop trying to pass it off like a third-party problem!

Hello there, KMB1.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for isolating your issue running iTunes in Safe Mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, try to isolate further by testing in another user account:

Program freezes when sending to itunes

I use Garageband to make audiobook files. I'll throw, for example, an audiobook disc's worth of content into a garageband "song" chronologically, then send the track to iTunes. That way, my audiobooks on iTunes will be in a few long tracks rather than in a bunch of tiny tracks. I've been doing it for a long time and Garageband's always done it perfectly. Lately, however, it's been freezing up almost every time I try to send it. During the "creating mixdown" process it'll stop somewhere in the time line and freeze. I basically have to force close when it happens. I've tried numerous techniques to stop it from freezing during the process, sometimes it's worked, but it's been freezing quicker and more frequently as of late. My software is up to date, and my Mac hasn't been having any other problems at all.
Anyone got any suggestions?

ITunes 11.1.3 freezes when connecting to ITunes Store

I've never had troubles with iTunes before, but as of yesterday, iTunes 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012, OS 10.7.5) freezes while in process of connecting to the iTunes Store or my loading my account. I force it to quit ("iTunes not responding") and try again with the same results. I've tried to restart the machine several times, I've verified the Disk on Disk Utilities, scanned for viruses, and just did an entire re-install with a new download of the same software. All appears fine, but then I have the same problem when opening iTunes. I'm able to get online with other applications, and I can access iTunes without problems via my iPad and iPhone. So it has to be a software problem, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any advice is appreciated!

Adobe Standard 9 Freezes when working in PDF File.

System: Dell T3500 Xeon Processor with XP Pro 64-bit. 6Gb Ram. MS Office 2007. Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Quickbooks Pro 2009. Adobe Standard 9. Linksys Network Magic software. Hardwired to Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router.
The only program that I am having trouble with is Acrobat. It will open just fine. It will open any PDF file ok. However, as soon as you put the cursor inside the PDF to scroll, open a different page, rescale, ANYTHING, Acrobat freezes. It remains frozen for up to 30 seconds. This happens EVERY time you try to do something to the PDF that is loaded. The file size of the PDF does not matter either. I have opened very small ones and very large ones. They all open fine but then freeze as soon as you try to do something with the file. It's not just Adobe that freezes! It actually locks up the entire computer!

At the advice of my IT guy at work, I checked the Event Viewer. This is one of the messages I was getting:
The protocol handler Search.Mapi2Handler.1 cannot be loaded. Error description: Class not registered.
I did a search on it and went to
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=The+protocol+handler+Search.Mapi2Handler.1+cannot +be+loaded.+Error+description%3A+Class+not+registered&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp= 7da014c016d00ed9
One of the posts says to go
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/choose/windowssearch4.ms px?tab=Install%20It
and install Windows Search 4.0.
Where I am still getting the original error above, Acrobat has started working correctly.
Now. Something else happened as well. Actually two things. First, when I opened Outlook this time, I got a pop-up that said something about RSS feeds - Yes, No, or Ask Me Later. I think I clicked on NO.
Now, Outlook is opening faster that ever before and Acrobat is working.

How to stop system from freezing when importing into iTunes (version 7)?

Since I have installed iTunes 7, I have been unable to import music into iTunes; my computer freezes after about 10 seconds and the only thing I can do is restart the entire computer. It is extremely frustrating and I can't seem to find anyone who can help me with this issue...I'm affraid that I'm not extremely technical-savvy when it comes to these things, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've found quite a few people in these discussions with this problem and I had the same one myself.
The only thing I could do (the startup disc I have was an earlier version of iTunes - I downloaded iTunes 7 from the net) is uninstall iTunes and then reinstall using the earlier disc and don't upgrade it. Unfortunately this means if you have any music in iTunes 7 you won't be able to use it.
