Why does my iTunes freeze up?

Why does my iTunes freeze up every time it is opened. It only operates for about 10 -15 seconds and then freezes. I've tried installing it again several times, but with no different results. Can anyone give me something to try? Have I downloaded some program that I shouldn't have? Thank you for any suggestions that you can give me.

Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

Why does my iTunes freeze after periods of time

So i have a MAC Mini with an external hard drive. For some reason after about 15 mins. the itunes will freeze up and i have to remove the external hardrive and plug it back in and then everything works fine. But this is a pain in the butt, because i recently got apple tv and i like streaming stuff off my itunes to my tv. But i have to keep getting up and unplugging the external hard drive and pluggin it back in so my itunes will work properly on the mac mini. This is quite frustrating. Does anybody have an idea or Clue as to why this is happening?
Not sure if this is related to it, but i have "time machine" for my external hardrive and that seems to fail backing up sometimes as well. but when i un plug it and plug it back in the back up works flawlessley. Could this all possibly be related to the external hard drive.
Thank you for any and all feed back
also im tired of having to force quit itunes when all this is happening.

Why does my iTunes freezes while trying to sync my iPod Touch?

When I try to sync my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch, it freezes partly. It froze when a pop up from iTunes saying it's 'Adding Files' and below it, it says 'Processing: 20100314211421.m4a'. I'm pretty sure I know that I didn't download this file. And when I try to search it by the whole number '20100314211421' my computer couldn't locate it. BUT if I search in the first couple numbers like '2010' it shows a bunch of them and it's mostly [ MyDocuments / My Music / iTunes/ iTunes Music ] folder so I'm guessing it's from iTunes. After figuring that out, I uninstall iTunes 3 times and it still wouldn't sync!
+ When it froze, I could still listen to music although it doesn't play the next track.
++ Also, my iPod is the 4.0 version
+ And when I check my iPod ... nothing changes...
Please help! It's been bothering me for days now.

Hello All,
I recommend call Apple: 1800 MY APPLE
Have them document the issue in the system, and provide a resolution if one is available. If there is none they will work it until they find one.
This "may" fix the issue:

I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

Why does my itunes freeze?

is this a virus? i havent been able to get into my itunes on my computer since christmas. everytime i open it it freezes. i have to use task manager to exit out of it. i even tried to update it and the new version also freezes. help!

I have the exact same problem. Mine freezes usually within a few seconds after loading. I can't even sync with my iPhone because it freezes before it's completed.
I'm beginning to think it's an issue with Windows 7. I'm going to try it on my other laptop which is running XP.

Why does my iTunes freeze when syncing?

Every single time I try to sync my phone to my iTunes on my PC, it freezes the computer. This happens on my phone, another iPhone in the house, my iPad, and a iPod. Any tips? Please help! One of my iPhones has NO music, and mine is only the purchased.

Hello bigboza,

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

WHY DOES MY NETFLIX FREEZE ON MY APPLETV??

WHY DOES MY NETFLIX FREEZE ON MY APPLE TV?

Tested my appleTV2 on Comcast 26mbps down = no hiccups or freezes
Tested on Time Warner NYC 10Mbps down = pauses, hiccups, freezes (on Netflix and iTunes rentals)
Therefore I assume it is the service provider, not Netflix
One other problem: it takes a very long time to connect to iTunes for Podcasts (spinning wheel) on both Comcast and Time Warner - Therefore I believe that is Apple Server delay.
