Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ?  My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.  Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
Really annoying.
If you find a fix please, please let me know, I have just been throwing hardware at it with no joy at all

  • Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it?

    Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it? It never used to do this. How can I stop it ? When I open the app I usually want to just listen to the music collection I have in it, not download anything or buy from the store.
    How can I stop this default ?

    I have checked and it isn't.
    This never used to happen, but I suspect something changed at the last iTunes update.

  • I have Acrobat/Adobe Pro, why does it ask me to sigh in or subsribe when I go to convert a file?

    You need to sign in to validate your subscription or serial number. Have you already done this once, and it still is asking?
    Sometimes with Creative Cloud, I find that I get signed out and have to sign back in. This shouldn't be an issue for a serial number based version, once you've provided your Adobe ID.

    Is too much of the system memory tied up? If so, what can I do to free some up?

  • Why does Itunes encounter a problem and stops every time I try to sync my home videos - help please

    Why does Itunes encounter a problem every time I try to sync my home videos - it just won't sync them - help please !!!!

    Re-installing iTunes wont erase your folders, unless your iTunes is a very old version pre-iTunes 9 series.
    I would suggest to download the latest iTunes, it would solve your problem as in this earlier  post

  • 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!!!

    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 keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Why does the Creative Cloud app steal focus multiple times when it starts up?

    I am running Windows 8.1. When my system boots up, I've set Creative Cloud to launch at startup. I like to have the CC app running in the background so I can keep all of my apps up to date.
    The problem is that the CC app steals the operating system's focus multiple times when it launches. For example, right after I log in to Windows, I'll usually launch Chrome. If I start typing something in the address bar, I am interrupted halfway through as the CC app launches and steals the focus. So then I reset the OS focus to Chrome and start typing again. And then CC usually steals the focus again after a couple of seconds.
    I've verified that it is CC by disabling launch-at-startup. Doing this makes the problem go away.
    This is completely obnoxious and unnecessary. If an app launches in the background, it shouldn't steal the focus once, let alone twice. This is software development 101. We are paying good money and should not have to deal with problems like this.

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • 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 keep prompting for password for Auto Downloads

    What is the point checking off "Always check for available downloads" and "Download pre-orders when available" if iTunes isn't going to actually automatically download anything until I go to my computer and enter the password in the pop-up? I understand having to enter a password when buying something new, but why can't it just download the already paid for pre-order TV shows without me having to intervene? All that does it save one step (clicking on "Check for available downloads") and it causes my iTunes to stop or interrupt streaming to my devices such as AppleTV when that prompt is sitting on the screen.
    There is no good reason this basic stuff shouldn't be completely automatic ... I should be able to go to bed at night, and when I get up in the morning and go to my AppleTV I should immediately be able to just watch any new episodes that became available during the night without having to stream them from iCloud (which means I would have to download it twice, once while streaming and again to have it on my Mac).

    Nope...
    I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
    time I start Outlook.  None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me.  I don't even have to supply a password.  When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it.  Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
    "Need Password" with a key icon to the left.  Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
    The freaking software is BROKEN!  Period.

  • Why is there a problem with Itunes freezing up at least 1-2 times when using it?

    It is kind of getting old but my Itunes player (does not matter which one as I update to the latest version) has this nasty habit of freezing whether I am trying to listen to the radio or my own library.
    It is now happening almost every time I use Itunes and when it freezes the only fix is to do the old Control-Alt-Delete.
    I am running a 64 bit Window's 7 home premium and prefer using Itunes but you know if you does not work get something else
    I have 4 GBs Ram with a 2.6 Dual Core Pentium
    More frustrating is the lack of support from Apple. Oh wait Itunes is for free so you do not get help.
    Even better is a troubleshooting aid that when you click NO it did not help then the window itself just disappears
    Yes I checked and it is a system problem but it is a problem that has existed since Itunes put out their 10 series.
    Given the number of times this question is being asked by others then is it too much to think that Apple realizes that they have a problem application and it is not the fault of the user or Microsoft OS.
    No offense Apple but I know if 10% have a problem that it does not matter to you but why should I spend money on any of your products if you can not come out with a fix for your own medial player?
