Why does itune freeze

Why when I open iTunes it freezes up

Lets see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?

Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!
Here's the CD Diagnostics:

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Why does itunes freeze up windows/PC but work fine on mac?

Yes itunes is apple but why make it so bad on PC and fine on mac? not everyone has the money for mac. And school wise windows is much easier than mac. One of my friends is stupid enough to rely on pages for everything but when we need to use excel or publisher she cant figure out how to do things so she either goes to the library in precious sleep time before school, or during lunch and recess, etc; OR she uses my laptop before school which I find quite annoying moving it from my morning mess down to another room. Seriously if Apple is trying to get more people to buy macs ITS NOT F*CKING WORKING!!!! It's just making me ****** at having to wait 10 hours and lose most of my sleep trying to do a recovery of my ipod coz it took too long to sync and kept stuffing up my laptop. And now i cant have any decent games because it will freeze up my perfectly fast and relativly new laptop (few months old). This also happens on all other windows in my household and my friends also complain. BTW I am not a noob. I'm actually really good with technology and gaming though my appearance suggests otherwise.

Around these parts - yes resync is a word.
The waiting icons are appearing in the iPad correct? If so, finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then try to sync the apps. Don't connect the iPad when you do this - just try to finish the downloads in iTunes.
Where can you see your music? In the music app itself on the iPad?

Why does iTunes freeze up everytime I try to change the options?

I'm trying to change the options on my iTunes (where it says Manage music manually and Sync checked songs). Everytime I click them and go to sync it, iTunes gets a Not Responding heading..why?
I'm trying to see why songs I buy wont transfer to my iPod Nano (6) even after syncing successfully..if anyone knows another thing to try, please tell me

Why can't i sync and why is itunes freezing

Why does itunes freeze everytime i turn it on now? It drives up my CPU usage to a 100% and freezes and then i can't sync my music. Iam getting sick of this, i never had these issues before.

Connect the iPad to your PC
Launch iTunes
Select the iPad on the left side under "Devices"
Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right side
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to the iPad
Click on the Sync Apps heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window on the right.
iTunes will sync only content that you have selected to sync. If the content is not selected - with checkmarks - iTunes will remove the content from the device.
If you select the Automatically Sync New Apps box at the bottom of the list of apps - all new apps transfered into iTunes or downloaded to iTunes on your computer - will sync to your device.

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

Why does Itunes sync my purchase transfers to the wrong hard drive?

I'm running windows 7 with a 64gb SSD boot drive and 1tb data drive. My boot drive is almost completely full. I installed itunes on my data drive and set the preferences to sync media to the data drive as well. I plug in my old ipod to tranfer purchases before an update. The tranfer never finished because it synced all of the data to my boot drive and now my boot drive is completely full and the data is nowhere to be found. I recently had the same problem with it syncing an iphone backup to the same drive, but I found a work around for that. Why does Itunes instist on loading stuff on the boot drive? How can I redirect it? This is simple preferences that should be available to change, but simply aren't.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Music tap, make sure there are no checks in the boxes labeled "Entire Music Library", & "Automatically fill free space with songs":

Why does iTunes think my iPad is a new one?

When I connect my otherwise happy iPad to iTunes, iTunes says "This computer has previously been synced with an iPad or another iOS device" and wants me either to "set up as new iPad" or "restore from the backup of <my iPad name>". Of course it's just the same iPad I've connected, so why does iTunes not recognise it as such?
This happened before, and I know if I select "Restore from the backup of <my iPad name>", it deletes and restores all the apps and media content, but in the process I lose all data e.g. progress in games, data and configurations entered into apps etc.
This is iTunes 10.2.2.12 on Win 7 64-bit, iPad 16GB with iOS 4.3.1.
Any suggestions what I can do? Even if I have to restore from backup, is there a way I can prevent this happening again?

I'm having same problem! I tried the trick of unplugging right after the sync begins and the only thing my iPad does is give me a sync failure message and restarts itself. I plug ipad back in and get same message??? I've emailed iTunes support and they have not been able to help. I tried all the standard stuff like de-authorizing/athorizing, checked that my iPad iOS is the latest version (which it is), latest version of iTunes installed (even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes). No matter what I try cannot get around this message. I too have tons of app settings/configurations that get lost if I go thru the restore option. I actually tried the restore option out of frustration, lost all of my configurations AND still get the same message - seems like my iPad is caught up in a loop no matter what I try. To make matters worse, my iTunes library got lost as all my songs are showing up with an '!' next to each song (meaning it cannot locate the file). I checked and they are truely missing so when I go to my purchased music all of my purchases show up (all 4000+ of them) however are all listed as 'Downloaded' in the right margin??? My true objective here is to be able to transfer my purchases on my iPad to my iTunes as my iPad is complete as far as all apps/recent purchases. HELP !!! Thanks

Why does iTunes fail to see that I am a customer

Why has it taken 20 days and iTunes still hasn'tfixed my account?
Why have I ended up with two iTunes account instead of just one?
Why are the people running the system so thick that the two accounts created god knows why both belong to the same person?
Why is the customer serviceso indifferent and off balance so much that it is barely service at all?
Why does iTunes not fix their system so that they deal with issues once, once only and move to the next customer thereby reducing everyones waiting time.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Have you ever actually bought anything from the Mac App Store? Have you created an iTunes account in the past? Do you have a bank card from a bank in the country where you live with a local billing address?

HT1911 Why does Itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? Somehow, my account got disabled now. It also shows that I am logged in....?

Why does itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? I can access everything else fine, but now my account is disabled for some reason although my password was entered correctly... help

I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.
Edit : your reply appeared as I was attempting to post this

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.
