TS3804 iTunes hanging when I select the Preferences menu.

iTunes hangs when I select the Preferences menu. Any ideas why and how to keep it from doing it again? This happens on my 3G phone and the ipod.

Withing Workspace it is hanging when we select the POV

When we want to run a BI report within the HFM Workspace (version 9.3.1.4), it is hanging / freezing on us when we want to choose a different POV. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
We currently have a workaround to click on "Preview User Point of View" and we TYPE in the members into the POV boxes, but when we choose the POV and click OK, it hangs/freezes. No error message appears. The workaround works for us at Corporate, but might be causing problems for our users world wide.
Thanks for any input, greatly appreciate it.

It does - it points to a library corruption - backup your iPhoto library and depress the option and command keys and rebuild the library - try from the last automatic database back up first - if that does not work try the other options - if those do not do it then use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

In iTunes, when I select the "Device" and then select "My iPod" there in no text

In iTunes, when I select the "Device" and then select "My iPod", there is no text in the main screen......only the text "iPod", "Version" and "Options" appear with a picture on an iPod on the top of the screen?
I uninstalled iTunes and installed the version (10-5.3???) for my 64bit computer but no luck. I can transfer songs from cd's and the itunes store easily enough but I just got this thing yesterday and I want to get the full experience and not half of it. I feel like I'm missing something and i'm about ready to take a hammer to it.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

It has something to do with Segoe fonts in your system.

TS1574 I have no sound on my iMac.    When I select the upper key on the keyboard or select 'output devices' in the System Preferences file, it says "no output devices found".     Any ideas as to I can turn on the sound?

I have no sound on my iMac.    When I select the sound keys on the upper row of my keyboard or select 'output devices' tab in System Preferences, it says "no output devices found".    Any idea where I am not looking to get sound back?

Thank you for your responses.    I found the 'sound' icon in the menu bar and found it was turned down low.   I adjusted the sound there and this worked; however, I'm not sure why this didn't show in my System Preferences or why I couldn't adjust the sound from the keyboard.    Those function keys basically became un-usable for me.   Thank you again!

If you click on finder, open a new finder window, click on applications, and click on system preferences, what happens?

ITunes hangs when I try to sync with my apple devices

Hello,
I have followed troubleshooting article iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch but this hasn't help me fix the issue.
I am running OS/X 10.9.4 and iOS 7.1.2
When I create a new user account on my MAC the devices connect fine. If I create another iTunes Library on my original user account then iTunes still hangs when I connect the devices. The article doesn't describe what to do next. What other configuration information is there that is common across both iTunes Libraries?
Thank you,

Back up all data.
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 hangs when attempting to connect to Airport Express

I searched and couldn't find anything directly relevant. Here is my problem:
I am using a Powerbook G4 to stream audio to an Airport Express. This has worked with no major issues for almost two years on a WEP encrypted network. Yesterday I did the following:
Update OS from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11
Update iTunes from 7.4 to 7.5
Change encryption to WPA
The Airport Express light is green, and I can access its settings through Airport Admin Utility. The Airport Express is visible as an option in iTunes, and when I select it a small window pops up saying something along the lines of "Connecting to AirportName". The connection never happens, and iTunes hangs on this window indefinitely.
Any thoughts? I did the updates so I could use my new iPod touch, and I switched to WPA because I read somewhere that it is more secure.
Thanks for any help

I had a similar experience and found patience to be the answer. For some reason it took 5-10 minutes for my Apple TV to get past the "Loading Mike's Media" message. In the meantime my iTunes was unresponsive. My library is not exceptionally large (about 160gb with 57 movies and 67 TV shows).
After that initial long wait, I tried switching back and forth between Apple TV as the source and my iTunes as the source. Each subsequent reconnect to iTunes only took about 40 seconds.
I have no idea why it takes so long. I did a little probing, and iTunes was neither using much CPU nor doing much I/O during the long wait. Quite odd.

ITunes Hangs when first opening

I have iMac, late 2009 i7 2.8 with 12 GB Ram. Latest Lion and iTunes. My iTunes library is on an external Firewire 800, 7200, 128 cache HD. I have 17,000 songs. Everything has worked great before. When I open iTunes, everything loads quickly. But, when I go to play a track, I get the Beach Ball for about 90 seconds. Then the track plays fine. After that, all other tracks play fine and instantly. Here's what I have tried
Rebuilding permissions (external and internal drive)
Disk repair (both drives)
Hardware test All OK
SMART Status OK
Removed all playlists
Unplugged and plugged in RAM modules (no luck)
Changed FW cable
Trashed iTunes Preferences
Option click iTunes to change libraries
Removed Focusrite DAC from chain to internal speakers only
All other apps work fine. I have no plug ins or smart playlists. Hangs even if I make a new user account. Please help

Well I finally figured this one out. I defragmented my external HD. iTunes is faster than it ever has been (my itunes media folder is on external drive). I ran Drive Genius and it showed that my external mirror drive was 15% fragmented. You can see specific fragmented files and everyone was an iTunes track. It took 20 hours for the softwar to complete the defrag process and my External HD is running like a dream. I guess iTunes hangs when trying to search for the location of tracks.

ITunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'

iTunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'
I have iTunes installed afresh on Windows-8.1. I have added folders (interpreter\album) to the Mediathek successfully, however sometimes when I do that I get a partly displayed screen of the folders-menu, I cannot scroll or select any folder and iTunes hangs. I have to shut iTunes down using the Task-Manager, start Windows-8.1 again, then it might work alright. Has anybody any hints what to do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hans M.

Interesting: Once I had folders (interpreter\album) existing in the folder "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" (probably from albums bought from iTunes-Store, I could copy all my own folderpairs to be added to the Mediathek into "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" and could add folders from there. That has the advantage to have all folderpairs in on big Music-folder for saving purposes.

I am trying to use photomerge compose. I open one standard jpeg image and one image that is my business logo in a png format. When I select the png image, to extract the logo from it, it appears as all white and will not allow me to select the logo from it. It has worked in the past but I downloaded the update today and photomerge will not work correctly. Any ideas?

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

I want to gift a season that I have purchased. When I select the season I am not given the gift option, only "you have already purchased this season" Help....I'm trying to give Apple money here!

Another poster said that if you sign out of your iTunes Store account, go to the item you wish to gift, and select "gift" and go through the purchase process, it will then ask you for your account information and send the gift. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a go.
Regards.

I (though am not sure what happened) solved the problem. Under show all I had both videos and music selected as on. I turned off videos and ..hey presto..the slider reappeared.

I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?
