Anyone else seeing iTunes 11.1 freeze after cmd-L?

I am having exactly the same problem. Mac Pro 8 core, 24 GB, OS X 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1 (126) 64-bit. I primarily stream music and videos to Apple TV, with very little other use of iTunes on the Mac Pro. Once a movie starts, there's no problem with the movie, but when it's over, AppleTV no longer has access to the iTunes library. A quick check of iTunes reveals that it is hanging...spinning beach ball, but nothing else. I have to force quit and re-start iTunes. This happened many times over the last week, but 4 or 5 times yesterday alone (family visiting...lot's of movie watching). This began happening as soon as I "upgraded" to iTunes 11.1. If anyone learns anything, please hook us up!!

Thanks!

Seeing the same problem on a Macbook Pro running 10.8.5.... This was fine before 11.1

Same thing here. But it is inconsistent. Sometimes the next video starts, sometimes it doesn't and I then have to force quit.

Not only Command L freezing iTunes, but Undelete too, which really *****! Just lost playlist deleted by mistake when Undelete set the wheel spinning. Come on Apple, enough clients are dealing with this ****. It's been long enough. How about resurrecting Jobs?

iTunes 11.1 hangs when I try to "show in playlist" or "go to current song (command-L)" when the track is in a playlist that is in a subfolder of another folder. It works normally if the playlist is only one level deep, i.e. in a single folder. But my very large music library is organized with much more depth than that, going down 4 levels in some areas. If I try to show the track in a playlist that is in a subfolder, the spinning cursor appears and iTunes becomes non-responsive. However, iTunes 10 had absolutely no problem with performing this task down to the deepest levels of my organization scheme.

I'd be very interested in knowing of anyone who is able to perform these actions in iTunes into subfolders without hanging. I'd like to know whether it is simply the hierarchical structure or a combination of that and library size or some other characteristic of my iTunes library.

(Running OS 10.8.5.)

Good news!!! iTunes 11.1.1 just came out and it fixes "Find in Playlist", command-L for the current song, and the "Next" and "Previous" buttons while editing in playlists. Finally, I'm back in business. I hope you all see these changes too.

Yep, 11.1.1 appears to fix the Command+L go to currently playing song freeze.

Thanks for letting us know! Updated now and it does indeed work again!

Was having problem starting last week, and I thought it's something software related. It turned out that my iTunes library was sitting on a dying hard drive. I'm glad I figured it out in time, and I copied most of the things out of the drive while I could.

Problem fixed for me as well, thank goodness. (I didn't realize I used that command so often!)

Unfortunatley, the freezing continues whilst streaming to an apple TV.

The same happens for me ever since updating to iTunes 11.1 - very annoying. Updating to iTunes 11.1.1 did not fix this either.

Try disabling Wi-Fi sync.

The hangs seem to be caused by Wi-Fi sync, at least on my system. I turned off Wi-Fi sync for all my devices (two on iOS 7, two on iOS 6) 4 days ago and since then iTunes has been solid. No crashes, no beach balls, no memory leaks.

I'm having a similar problem but when I do command+L iTunes expands all of my playlist folders but doesn't crash. That might be what it's trying to do for you and why it crashes. I have a brand new mac book pro 2.7 running 10.8.5

I don't even use command+L and this keeps happening. I'll be playing some music and it will just lock up... or I'll try and access my library from my Apple TV to find it's not responding and I have to go to my Mac and kill iTunes. This seems to have only been happening in recent days.

I'll have to try disabling wifi sync to see if that helps otherwise I guess I'm waiting for this (along with iOS 7.0.3) in the hope of resolving my growing list of music playing woes.
