Ok, I'm running a 2 GHZ intel macbook with 80 GB ram, and today I was transferring music from my desktop onto my iTunes, and during this process, iTunes started acting really wierd. The transfer stopped, and the song that was playing (one of the songs actively being transferred) started skipping. Like it would play for a second, stop for 4 or 5 second, play for another second, and so on. I couldn't force quit as it kinda froze my whole computer, and now when i load up iTunes, it immediately freezes on startup. Sometimes i can force quite, sometimes i have to hold the power button and restart.

I have tried uninstalling iTunes (I put the application into the trash and deleted it) i repaired disk permissions, i searched iTunes and deleted all plugins and anything like that, I deleted all of the songs that were being transferred at the time of the problem, and it still does the EXACT same thing every time...

I'm really getting frustrated here so any help guys would be awesome, thanks..

What format (AIFF, WAV, MP3, etc.) are you adding? Are they on a CD (showing up on your Desktop) or actually residing there?

Try adding them in smaller quantities, maybe in batches of 10 or so. If you get to a batch that locks it up, remember that batch, then add those in that batch one by one until you find the one that causes the problem.

It could be a corrupt file that iTunes is choking on.

ok, i found out the problem, i just had to find every file that i was adding and deleted them in finder...there was a couple straggling files that seemed to be causing the problem, so it's all good now. Thanks
