Hello, I have been dealing with Itunes freezing every time I try to use it, It will load and once everything is loaded, Itunes will freeze. No warning messages or errors stating anything is wrong, normally ends with me Ctrl-Alt-DEL just to close Itunes. I have uninstalled and deleted all folders that deal with Apple software and I have had no luck figuring out what is wrong, can anyone help?

When you open iTunes in Safe Mode, you isolate the program from any interference caused by plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple. To start iTunes in safe mode, hold down the Shift and Control keys on your keyboard while you open iTunes.
You'll see a message as iTunes is starting that says "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the issue doesn't happen in Safe Mode, remove any third-party plug-ins.

Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended effects. After you uninstall a component, you might be prompted to restart your computer. Wait to restart your computer until you're finished removing all of the components.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one.
Thank you for responding, I am still having the same issue, iTunes is unusable for me, I have used the guides and yet it still finds my library even after I have gone through my computer and deleted ever folder labels in the guides and named Apple and still no luck. iTunes freezes when it is in safe mode as well. I need to get this to work because I would like to upgrade my phone and I need to sync beforehand
