iTunes Apple Mobile Device cpu 100% - quick
fix
A customer complained that his 9 year old pc crashed whenever he
opened iTunes. iTunes Apple Mobile Device process
was using 100% of the CPU.
He got the error following an update to ITunes. The pc was XP
SP3. Apart from the pc only having 512MB of ram! (naturally I added
some more) I was pretty stumped.
Several blogs report Apple Tech Support suggesting to uninstall
all Apple related software items and in a particular order? Then
reinstall.
The solution to iTunes Apple Mobile Device process
using 100% CPU in this instance was simple:
Close iTunes
open up a command prompt: start - run - type:
cmd
in the window that opens type: netsh winsock
reset
press enter
Open ITunes - issue was gone.
