10.6.7 Freezes when attempting to run iTunes 10.2.1

Fixed mine.

After the 10.6.7 Supplemental Update everything seems to be fine ... but wait and see 🙂

Don't blame you!

Is the update just for 13' MBA? Will it address the same issues I'm having with my MBP?

This is the text that displays in Software Update for this update:

"This update addresses an issue that makes the system unresponsive when using iTunes. It is recommended for all 13" MacBook Air (Late 2010) users running Mac OS X v10.6.7."

So yes, it looks like MacBook Air 13" only. It has worked on mine so far, knock on wood.

Nice work, Apple, that was quick. Thanks!

Throw away all prefs filés for iTunes in your user/Library/preferences
and Genius preferenses in your iTunes library folder.
It did work for me.

It is not just the MacBook Air, my MacBook Pro late 2009 also Freezes in many programs, Safari, Itune, IWorks, my little beach ball just spins and spins then the program come back after about a minute of spinning. I have tried everything to fix the problem. I have bought many utility programs such as Disk Worrior, IDfrag, Clean my Mac and the lastest MacKeeper. It is not just me my family and friends have the same problem. Did not have this problem until I upgraded the Mac OS X 10.6.6 was when the problem started and 10.6.7 did not solve the problem.

I appear to be having exactly the same issues as you with my MBP. I have tried trawling the tech support and taken all the measures suggested ie: resetting memory and checking software is up to date. None of this has worked and it does appear to have started up since the 10.6.7 update. I am running out of ideas and patience.

apple has fixed this go to software update or download page

My Mac Mini acted up as well.
I installed the update (even though it made reference to the MBA only)
About 30 hours and no freeze yet but a simple cold boot (before the update) also bought me 30 plus hours.

The next few days will tell

Just to update. I tried everything and nothing works as it was a bless cannot mount drive bug at the end. So I repartitioned 2TB drive to 2 x 1TB partitions and SL installed fine. If anyone has a thought why I would be delighted to hear as I have no idea at all. I will speak to Apple but....

I've been poring over all comments related to the update/itunes issue, and although I've tried everything with no success, I installed the MBA update without testing itunes since (I wanted to finish reading jic something popped after the update release).

While reading, eduaed999's suggestion about the dock icon delete/add struck a chord, and i was immediately transported back to a similarly heinous bug in my mac love affair, which was resolved with the (lamely) simple dock delete/add. Whether or not it works this time though, it's joining troubleshooting repertoire.

Stay tuned...after trying all other suggestions, I downloaded the MBA update AND have done the dock delete/add trick, so hopefully the problem will be resolved permanently. After posting this I'll do the dirty!

I'm not as technical as all of you however, so I'm curious if there's a way to monitor the process? To know which of these two methods actually took? (that is if they do...)

Being less experienced I really appreciate the respectful environment this forum has, and I look forward to any responses or suggestions!

Same issue for me and IT IS REALLY A PAIN

APPLE, PLEASE SOLVE IT! FAST!

This worked for me, as well.
