ITunes keeps crashing with latest update when I try to sync my iPad and iPhone.  No issues syncing my ATV's.  Any suggestions?

In fact, when I am in iTunes and click on either my iPad or IPhone it shows the sync options and ten within 10 or so seconds iTunes gets the "closed unexpectedly" error message.  Very frustrating....updated to latest iTunes version yesterday, and this issue started today.  Thanks in advance for your ideas.

If possible... you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x  (which will Run iTunes Version 11)
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
NOTE:
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

  • How can I deauthorize iTunes on my PC that doesn't have iTunes installed (crashed with latest update)?

    I'm retiring my old PC and want to deauthorize my purchased iTunes library (over 1,000 songs) but have a problem.  The last time I tried to update iTunes on the computer, the installation crashed and iTunes was removed.  My music is still there.  I just can't figure out how to deauthorize the computer without using iTunes.  I've tried reinstalling iTunes several times and always get "Error 7" with further instructions to try again.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only use this feature once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

  • When trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone with itunes the device does not appear int he upper right hand corner anymore

    when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on

    In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
    Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.

  • I formatted by PC which erased the iTunes software as well. Now when i try to backup my iPad the new iTunes doesn't have access to my existing files. The option is to erase the current content of my iPad and replace it with existing files on my PC.

  • TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

    My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

    My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years).  I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely. 
    Is this what I have to do? 
    Thanks for your help!

  • Pictures in the albums I want but now how do I re sync my iPad and iPhone with them?

    ok I got my pictures in the albums I want but now how do I re sync my iPad and iPhone with them?

    Are you using iCloud Photo Library? Then syncing is automatic and your mobile devices should be showing the same albums automatically.
    See:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    If you are not sing iCloud Photo Library, use iTunes to sync selected albums to your mobile devices.
    For more information and instructions for transferring photos using iTunes, open iTunes, then choose Help > iTunes Help, or see:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • TS1702 I bought an book from itunes on my ipad.  after syncing my ipad and iphone the book did not transfer to my iphone.  any suggestions.

    I bought a book from itunes with my ipad.  after syncing my ipad and iphone the book did not transfer to my iphone.  Any suggestions?  I might add that I an technically handicaped

    If the book isn't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy it from the iPad by connecting the iPad to your computer and in iTunes doing File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone (connect the iPhone to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync that book). Or you can re-download it directly on the iPhone : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Another option, if you always want ibooks to download on both devices, is to turn 'automatic downloads' for books 'on' on both : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT453

  • Itunes keeps crashing after i updated to 6.0.4

    hi,
    i have been having trouble in my imac g5 1.8 ghz.
    my itunes keeps crashing and i cant close it, i cant even "force quit" on it.
    its really hard to eject my ipod, and sometimes the music plays, but there is no sound.
    is there any known fix?
    thanx

    Hi,
    I'm having the exact same problem. What's the deal
    here. How about a patch or something from apple.
    The whole reason I use a mac is it never crashes on
    me. If it's going to crash I might as well go back
    to a pc (Ok sorry, nothing can make me go back to a
    pc
    Whew! Thank you for that last thought....
    Anyway, what I ended up doing was trashing everything iTunes including the iTunes X package & prefs (I used Spotlight to find everything), and then reinstalling a new copy of iTunes. First I backed up my iTunes music folder containing the music and data base (your file>Music>iTunes). Then I put my iTunes music folder back where it was and I didn't lose a thing.
    However, don't trash everything that shows up in a Spotlight search of iTunes--only the package and all prefs associated with iTunes and, of course, back up your music folder first or you will lose all your iTunes music, books, videos, etc.
    Since no one seems to be able to figure out why only a few of us are having this crashing problem with iTunes, it's just not being addressed. They tell us to "post" our crash logs, but not how. You can't upload files to this forum, and the crash log is too voluminous to cut and paste here.
    My idea worked for me, but it's dangerous. If you're not sure what to trash, email me for a list. Spotlight will show you where each item is when you click on the little "i" in the circle when you tell Spotlight to "Show All."
    Oh, and Apple does not do patches.

  • HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts.  It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

    My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops.  Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes.  I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished.  Any suggestions??

  • By backing up the iTunes Library via saving the iTunes folder on an external drive, is it also backing up all iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from your devices?

    If I backup my iTunes Library by saving the iTunes folder on an external hard drive using the instructions contained in the link below, will it also back up all my iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from my devices? In other words, will it also create backups for the backups? Thank you.
    Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive
    Furthermore, when it is time to restore the iTunes folder I copied to my external drive to a new iTunes program on my new computer, how will it merge the information once I plug in my iPad or iPhone to that new laptop to sync? If I did the iTunes library backup a couple months ago and I've added documents/music/pictures on my devices since then, what will happen when I try to sync it with the new laptop now working off of the iTunes library backup from a couple months ago since the information is no longer the same? Which information will dominate and thus be kept? Will it delete the new information/data/pictures/documents/music off of the devices since it is not on the iTunes program when it syncs?
    Sorry for so many questions, but they are all related to backing up and restoring iTunes. I am not very tech savvy if you cannot tell

    It would be a good idea to look into a bigger hard drive. They are not that expensive any more and can save a lot of headach. This is even more important if you are buying music from the iTunes music store. If you lost those files they are gone.
    The point of having it on your PC and iPod is to have a backup. If the iPod fails, or you need to go back to the DVDs and find they are scratched, or just can not be read you have lost days of work converting and organizing all of those songs.
    Or the iPod could hard drive could fail and then you will have to try to bring all of those files back from DVDs. You end up with a mess since some songs will probably be on multiple DVDs, have different names ect. Trying to reorganize it all can be a pain.
