TS1717 Itunes takes 9 minutes to start and locks up!!!

I have done everything that was suggested.   I'm running Windows 7 Professional.  I first uninstalled both programs using Revo Uninstaller Pro so that every trace of Itunes and Quicktime was removed.  I reinstalled.  I made sure the SC files were gone.  I went to msconfig and stopped all services,
went te Startup programs and deleted everything except Itunes and Quicktime.  I change the boot up so that it loads only the Microsoft services because I had disabled all the others,  and the new startup files, which are just I tunes and Quicktime   Nothing has changed after the clean instal!!!!! 
I started Itunes. It still take 8 or 9 minutes before it pops up, and then it keeps locking up, sometimes comes back after a minute.  It locks up when I insert a cd and when I take it out. That will usually start responding again in a minute or two. It also locks up for good, especially any time you want to use the file menu.
This has been going on for over a week and I am SO frustrated!   I tried installing an earlier version, but it wouldn't read the library because it was created with a later version.  I have been using computers since the 80's, and I know what I'm doing.  I have spent too many hours trying solutions that were supposed to help.
If so many people are having problems with this new version of 10, it has to be the software and you need to fix it!!  Or at least make a program so that an older version of Itunes can read the newer library until you get it fixed.  I have spent hours and hours cleaning up my library.
I just got a new Ipod and hooked it up to my stereo and I have at least another 30 gigs free that I wiould like to fill up.  This is miserable.
Itunes needs to FESS UP and admit is't something in the newer versions that is now broken.  It's buggy. Please please get your programers to fix it! And put the last good version of Itunes on your site.

    If you have followed the standard Apple troubleshooting processes (see user guide )
    probably a trip to the local Apple Store Genius bar is called for before warranty runs out
    Assuming the iPad has been released in your Country if not you may have to take it to a
    neighbouring Country where it is available
    This page will tell you ,via the drop down menu Countries that can support iPad

  • ITunes takes forever to load and freezes my computer.

    iTunes has started taking over a half hour or sometimes much more time to load and even to play a song once it is loaded. This started with a previous version of iTunes after doing nothing to my computer except some windows 7 updates. After trying to install the new version of iTunes, it stopped on computing space requirements for literally 4+ hours before completing the install. New version still has the same problems as the last. Task manager shows it as running as soon as i choose to open it, but it takes the window 30 min to 2 hours to open, and just recently another 45 minutes to start playing a song that I clicked on. Once the song eventually started playing, I was able to play other songs like normal, however once I hit a song to stop, it froze my whole computer and I had to restart. iTunes is the only program that acts this way, I have tried at least 13 other programs that open and close normally.

    lmao so im not the only windows user to have this same problem.... i have no solutions and i hate to be a rude person  and say that none of these other peoples comments seems to work.... you would think apple support would take the time to contact us through this forum and give us their real opinion or actuall help.

  • Lexmark C544DN network attached printer takes minutes to start printing job

    I recently purchased a macbook pro 13" i am moving from a windows 7 environment. My network attached Lexmark C544DN takes up to 2 minutes to start printing the print job, it did not act this way under windows. I have gotten the latest firmware and drivers for the printer, from the Lexmark website, in attempt to figure out the problem. My network hub- router is an airport extreme. I have noticed that at times when surfing the internet safari pauses when loading the page, this appears to be random not associated with certain websites. Not sure if the two are related but since both are using network protocols one may have to do with the other.
    I am looking for things to look into that may cause such a problem and how to look into them as I am fairly computer savvy but my experience with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 is limited to going on two weeks now.
    I should probably mention that the Mac network is solo not a hybrid with windows and mac together.
    Thanks for any advice that can be given on this problem.

    I am sorry, you are still on the consumer forums. To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet. Just click on the New Post button.
    I hope this helps.

  • Newer Itunes takes longer to start.

    Is it just me or does starting itunes take longer these days?

    Yes--it does take way more time than it did before to load! The program has to load a lot of stuff. I get nervous when I see the "loading the iTunes library" box with a cursor crawling slowly across the screen--I'm very concerned that something's going to crash. And then...????

  • Macbook air 11" blacks out takes minutes to start back up again.

    I have had this problem on and off since last November. First started when I using a LCD projector and I thought that was the issue. Last time it did it was last night...did it a number of times in succession. Now I am flipped out because this the my travel laptop. I will be working on ti, it blacks out and shuts down. Sometimes it stays down for a minute other time it stays that way for longer.
    Is someone else having this problem?

    HI..
    Try a Safe Mode boot.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe mode, click Restart from the Apple  drop down menu.
    Then monitor to see if the Mac blacks out again.

  • MBA not starting and locked in

    Hi all, I am new here and hope can get some support. My MBA does not restart and stays locked in onto the light grey page with the apple logo and rotating sun. I have run fsck_hfs -r /drive/disk0s2 to fix the structure (there were issues noted) and running fsck -fy tells me everything seems OK. However, no improvement at all.
    Any good advise to continue the fixing and get it started?
    Thanks alot.

  • When I boot up my macbook pro, it takes forever to start and I got grey screen...Help Please.

    Just a minute ago I tried to boot up my macbook pro...normally the grey screen pops up with the whirring wheel, and then my Lion log-in screen comes up and all is well.  This time, however, the whirring wheel spun forever on the grey apple screen. Then the wheel stopped and it went to a solid grey screen with apple...and nothing for about 10-15 seconds.  Eventually it came up. BTW, this was the 2nd time I tried to boot because the first time, the grey screen with the whirring wheel stayed up for several minutes so I rebooted.
    Anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks so much for your input!

  • Firefox web surf slow. Pages take minutes to load,and sometimes they dont load at all. I have win xp sp3. Thanks

    Hello. I have windows xp sp3,and latest firefox, i think 26. And sometimes, not all the time,but most of it,my web browsing is so slow, i mean google search,web pages load,etc. Like minutes before it loads,and when finally does,sometimes i see only text ,in web pages,not images.
    I have speed,as i can download torrents with 7 Mb/sec. Just web surfing is slow,painfully slow.
    My question is,if you bear with me, is this a browser problem or a windows one ??
    (i dont exclude even the possibility for the nice guys at microProose to inject a thing in windoze to make it slow,so we upgrade,in the light of recent discoveries:) .
    thanks in advance.

  • After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up

    I updated iTunes to 10.6.3.25 a couple of days ago to the latest version, and now it takes over 30 minutes to load.  I click the iTunes icon on my desktop and get the mouse spinner for about 2 seconds, then it disappears.  During that time, I can see in task manager that iTunes.exe using the about 25% of my CPU (i3 550) and over 100,000k of my 8GB of RAM.  After it finally loads, I plug in my iPod and iTunes gives no indication that it sees it at all.  Windows sees it, but iTunes doesn't.  My question is, what can I do to fix this?  I've already went into programs & features and went to changes and hit repair on each of the apple programs I have on my computer and that changed nothing, and I also tried this.
    tl;dr iTunes takes forever to load and iPod doesn't show up in iTunes

    UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

  • ITunes takes two Quits to actually quit

    This is a kind of annoying new trait since upgrading to Leopard. I can choose Quit from either the menu or the Dock and iTunes just ignores me the first time. If I do it twice, it instantly quits. This isn't some time out value I'm just not being patient for since i've let it wait as long as 5 minutes. It just simply ignores the first Quit command.
    Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

    just chiming in to report similar activity on my new macbook pro 2.4, itunes 7.6.1.
    i have been using my powerbook 12" for years with itunes and never had this problem. now i get a brand new shiny macbook pro and itunes has slowed down to a crawl.
    my library is only 3050 songs (compared to 12040 songs on my powermac g4/733, which runs itunes on tiger fine, btw).
    itunes takes approx 1 minute to start and then as soon as i quit, i get the beachball. there is no option to click quit again, just have to wait several (2-3) minutes for it to terminate the process. of course i can force quit, but then none of my changes will be saved to the library.
    waiting for a fix. thanks for reading,
