Why does my computer freeze whenever I go to iTunes?

Everytime I open itunes or go to itunes store, my computer freezes, with the whirling rainbow ball. It is driving me crazy, and yes I have up to date software

Because there's a problem - seriously with that amount of information to work with, what answer were you hoping for?
Does this involve iPhoto? If so:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
If not, post in the forum for whatever software you are using, but remember to add that basic information

Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

Why does my computer freeze when Firefox is open and I start AutoCAD 2011?

I have been able to replicate this issue on 2 machines now. If I open Firefox 6 on my Windows XP Machine and then try to start AutoCAD 2011 the whole computer will freeze and I am required to use the power button to restart the computer. If I open AutoCAD 2011 first and then open Firefox 6 the computer does not freeze.

Maybe a conflict with DLLs that both programs use and AutoCAD needs its own version that is located in the AutoCAD folder. If Firefox is started first then an older version located elsewhere may be loaded that cause AutoCAD to crash or hang.

Why does my computer freeze when I leave it sitting on for more than an hour?

If I leave my computer on for an extended amount of time with it closed, the computer will not light up as I open it up or if I punch the keys. I can only see the slender light in the front right that has a slow flash. To turn it on I have to hold the power button until I don't see the flash and then power it back on. Sometimes this does not work and I need to force it off again. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know what this is?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Why does my computer freeze when I try and print a pdf?

I have a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. It seemed that suddenly i developed this problem when trying to print a pdf file with Adobe X. Everything would look like it was going fine, but when the print download screen popped up, it would not download the pdf file and my computer froze. I have to manually shut down my computer to unfreeze it. I have tried to print using an earlier version of Adobe (Adobe 9), tried a different printer, tried printing as an image, or print as a file. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Why does my Macbook freeze whilst trying to install iTunes 11.1 update?

I was trying to install the new iTunes update, 11.1 and after clicking "Install and Restart" the screen changes into the initial login background (the purple/pink stars wallpaper but without the login box) and freezes there. I can still see the cursor and move it around but I can't do anything else. I had to hold down the power button to shut the computer off and then turn it back on again. I've tried twice and the same thing happened both times. Any help would be appreciated.
I've a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 if that's at all relevant.
Thanks!

I Turn it off/on and nothing changes.

Hello bigboza,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
Have a nice day,

Why does mavericks mail freeze mac while downloading new mail

why does my mac freeze up while new emails are being downloaded ?

Same problems here, too. It started a few days ago. A lot of users seem to have this/these problem(s). Is there still no solution to this from Apple, apart from a complete reset of the iPad? Quite embarrassing issue for Apple - the "settings" are a quite important part of a computer, and one that shouldn't freeze....
Other forums suggest it is an iCloud problem (which might explain that contacts does not work - and the calendar without sync is meaningless anyway). After MobileMe, with which many users had similar problems, had to be replaced by iCloud, maybe iCloud has to be replaced, too. MobileMe, iCloud, next is YouLoose, maybe. Hopefully Apple looks at its own wbsite and works on solutions.

TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
