Hi, I opened my beatunes and a "repairing database" window popped up and a few hours passed and nothing happened. Im not sure id I should force quit (I do not want to corrupt my database) or wait more time (the pictures shows that nothing has happened since I oopened the app. Also now my whole computer is getting really slow, almost freezing.
Thanks for your help

   „Repair” happens when beaTunes either detected a database error or it was killed (unclean shutdown).

   
   

   If repair takes forever, feel free to kill it. However, you may have to rebuild the database then.

   Hi Hendrik, thanks for your response. I let the app ooen overnight and it finally finish the task. It did take forever as you said but it worked at the end. Thanks again!

   Well, I’m glad that worked out!

   Repair is a lot better than “Rebuild.”

   Cheers,
