So frustrated with itunes - davemchine - 04-27-2018
Every time I try to add a video to iTunes it hangs. Not just iTunes but my entire system hangs and all apps stop working. It’s so frustrating. This shouldn’t be possible on a Unix system. No error message in the console either. What am I supposed to do with that? If there was another program that organized media on the Mac I would drop iTunes today. Junk.

itunes is grossly overdue for a massive overhaul.

I cannot think of a worse and obligate Apple software product.

Figured out what the problem was. iTunes flipped out and duplicated multiple terabytes of files. This filled up the drive my library resides on. So when I tried to add additional files iTunes couldn’t do it because the volume is full. Would have been nice if iTunes gave me a message saying “volume is full.” So tonight‘s job is to work on removing all the duplicate files. Not looking forward to this job.

The only thing I let iTunes near are my audiobooks and ePub files for iBooks. (using iTunes is the only way to share the ePubs between devices). Movies, video's music - all to my WDTV (which will eventually become an Leelbox). I just copy over what I need.

I gotta say that using iTunes since its inception, I've never had it duplicate anything, let alone multiple TB of files.

Is it v12.6.2 that Apple is offering up as the last least hope for mankind?

No, 12.6.4.3 is now available.

There was a time when it would have.

There are utilities available that should help you make short work of that task.
