| itunes freezes my mac this issue seriously handicaps my computer use. when i use itunes, once every few hours my computer just freezes totally. nothing responds anymore (including force quit) and i have to use the power button to reset. i haven't noticed any regular behavior that causes this, but it always happens after a mouse click in itunes. i tried reinstalling itunes, i also tried installing an older version but it wasn't compatible with my library. does anyone know how to fix this or at least manage the problem in a way that won't force me to restart? thanks a lot.  |

| Try deleting the preference file for iTunes in /users/you/preferences, or rebuild your library: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313

| deleting the preferences files did not solve the problem. it seems as though it had gotten better for a few days, but now i'm back to regular crashes. maybe the problem was solved but recurred somehow? any other ideas? thanks. |

| Sometime a malformed iTunes tag can do that. Can you remember when it started? Plus what do the Crash & Console log say (/YourHardDrive/Applications/Console)?
