Why does itunes 10.4 freeze when using network hard drive

Since downloading latest software evety time I open iTUNES it freezes. Cannot add any music from my network hard drive to iTUNES library. I add and sync from laptop HD and the softwaren woks ok, Windows media player plays all my files from the network HD. But when I re-set preferences to look up files from the NHD; NOTHING!!
I have set up sharing and have four computors mapped to see my network hard drive (differing operating systems, is that an issue?).

Refer to this discussion link.  It's the Logitech Gaming software.

  • Why does my airbook mac freeze when using external hard drive

    This is a recent development, my MacBook Air freezes when I attach my external CD drive and I have to do a hard restart (hold the power button till it turns off). This never use to happen. Any suggestions? Cheers!

    Hi
    Can anyone suggest what is happening and how to get around this? In worst case is there a way to move the files outside of imovie that will still allow them to be properly displayed within imovie?
    I don't think that it can be done that way - BUT I KNOW that it can be very destructive
    most probably end up as un-reparable.
    The move of projects and events - works so much better in iMovie'09

  • Why does Yahoo! Mail freeze when using Safari?

    For over a month now everytime I try to use Yahoo Mail in the Safari browser, the entire broswer freezes and I am forced to quit and reload all other pages I was viewing. Yahoo Mail works fine on every other browser, which is why I believe it is a Safari issue. Normally, I have no issues with Safari, but with Yahoo Mail it is nothing but problems. The page will load just fine, and maybe allow you to open a couple emails, but if you try to do more than that it will freeze, give you the spinning rainbow, and all other tabs open will go blank. All the software on my macbook are up-to-date.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click: Details
    Type   yahoo   in the search field then click Remove All / Done.
    Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    And one more time, go to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
    Restart your Mac. Try Yahoo mail.
    If you continue to have problems with Yahoo mail via Safari, there's an alternative. You can setup your Yahoo account in the pre installed Mac Mail application.
    Launch Mail, either from your Dock or the Applications folder.
    From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click + under the Accounts list on the left.
    Type in your name, your Yahoo user name and password then click Create.
    Now instead of having to deal with web based email via a browser, just click your Mac Mail icon in your Dock. When you have unread mail available you'll see a red badge Mail icon in the Dock.

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

    Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?  It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously.  21' iMac 2011 model.  It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple.  Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

    boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
    Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!

  • Itunes freezes when my external hard drive is plugged in

    Awhile back, in the summer, I upgraded to the newest version of itunes, and ever since, itunes doesn't work when my external hard drive is plugged in (which contains most of my music). When I unplug it, it will play the music on my computer, but when it's plugged in, it won't work at all and only freezes. I reinstalled it, and then slowly started putting some music in from the external hard drive, and it worked, but after I put a bunch in it froze up again. I have no idea why this is happening, as it was never a problem before. SUGGESTIONS?!

    Either use the startup key commands or use System Preferences>Startup Disk to select the external hard disk before you shut down.

  • Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

    Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
    When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
    I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Why does itune delete my pdf when syncing?

    Hi,
    I'm just got a ipad air 2, and I'm totally new to apple both software and hardware. One thing I don't understand is why does iTunes prompt to delete my existing pdf in my ipad which I download from my email when I sync up with itune where I had some other pdf?  (under the ibook)
    from a logical point of view my understanding of the word "sync" is to ensure both side (ipad and itune library) had the same data or files when there is a different in data/file. (correct me if i'm wrong)
    pls advice on how to do a sync which ensure both side of data is same why syncing. as I travel around I don't always keep my doc in the itune computer.
    IPad air 2 ios 8.1.2
    regards
    Soong

    Syncing is from a computer to a device, when you sync it takes what you've selected on the tab in iTunes and replaces what you've currently got in the app on your iPad with that selection.
    You should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (though they aren't iTunes purchases that should copy PDFs and/or epubs in the iBooks app on your iPad) - and if your computer is a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app to move them over to it. They should then show on the iPad's Books tab for selecting / syncing / keeping on the iPad.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize my external, wireless-networked hard drive (Western Digital) during installation and set-up of iTunes?

    Hello,
    I'm re-installing iTunes for Windows 7 (64-bit) due to a bug that occured with the iOS7 update.  The Genius Bar recommended that I uninstall and re-install iTunes from scratch.  All of my music is located on a WD external hard drive that's connected wirelessly to my PC.  I didn't have this problem until the iOS update for iphone 5, v.7.0.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I didn't relate this; now iTunes will not install on my PC when pointed to my external, wireless-networked hard drive.  It appears that it doesn't recognize it.

  • How come iMovie cannot use network hard drives?

    i have a Time Capsule (1 TB) with a USB hub. i have a 250GB WD HD attached as well as a Seagate 500GB HD. however, the only way i can import movies from my canon vix M30 is if i actually attach an external HD to the MacBook Pro itself. iMovie sees the network hard drives, but puts a yellow triangle over them. why? anyone?

    Welcome to Apple discussions!
    A network drive is too slow. If you want to use an external drive, go with FireWire (or ESATA if you have a Mac Pro).

  • Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs import despite plenty of available space in both devices. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

    Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or Seagate network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs or 20 or so "songs" out of a  total of 40 - 80 import despite plenty of available space in both devices. When I check itunes, each opera disc with all of the "songs" are listed. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

    right click on the songs that do transfer and select create aac version then re sync

  • Why does a movie/preview freeze when I try to watch it on my itouch?

    Why does my itouch freeze when I try to watch a movie/preview from itunes? I tried to watch the preview. I don't want to purchase a movie if that is what is going to happen. The signal on the itouch has full strength. It works when I watch a music video that I have purchased from Itunes. I also have Belkin G-801.11 which is what is required according to the itouch instructions. I have only had the itouch three days and I returned one because of the same thing.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
