nightwolf Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 So for a while now it's been a pain to open, sometimes it can take up to three hours to bother to open. I've tried the apple website and done everything it's asked there and it still won't open, I'm thinking about reinstalling, but god knows how long that'll take me! Any ideas on how I get it open? edit: maybe this would have been better on the apple thread *slaps forehead* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 3 hours?! I take it you're running it in Windows? I would definitely try reinstalling if you haven't. You don't have any plug ins for it do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 No I don't, I'm currently re-installing it now, I hope it works because the itunes website didn't help abit. edit: well I reinstalled it and got it open finally, but when closing it and testing to see if it'd open it hasn't...yay.. re-edit: got it working, hopefully for now.

Shorty Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 When closing iTunes I find it stays in the background for a long time, especially I remember it struggling on my old PC. If you try and open it again while it's still closing in the background, it can be a bit fussy -so trying closing it and opening it again straight away might not have been a good idea as a test.

nightwolf Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well I think I might be ok for now, my laptop is quite slow (it takes 20minutes to load because of when I tried to add office 2003) even though it has 1gb of ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 A laptop taking 20 minutes to load is screwed. Re-install Windows, or fix it some other way - 20 mins is just unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Perhaps spyware and adware creating a bottleneck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I was asking about itunes, not about how to fix the booting time on my laptop. It was slow to start with and it's two years old, so I'm scrapping it and getting a new one instead of messing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Don't have such a hissy fit - you were the one that brought it up. A laptop screwed enough to take 20 minutes to boot is likely to have many other problems. Your itunes issue is likely to be a symptom of a more serious problem.

Guest Jordan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Your itunes issue is likely to be a symptom of a more serious problem. Odwin basically hit the nail on head here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
