CD crashes itunes on Mac hardware only

I got a book-on-CD from my local library and wanted to burn it onto my MBP. Started the burn process and iTunes hung halfway through track 5. I tried to play track 5, and halfway through it crashed iTunes again. I played the CD on my DVD player and later on my PC at work - it worked fine, I even used iTunes for Windows later that day at work to burn the CD. Also, my co-worker has a mac mini (non-intel) so I tried the CD in his machine. Track 5 crashed his computer! Seems like the CD plays fine on non-apple hardware...or is it my laptop? This is a head scratcher for sure. Just in case the CD was scratched or something, I got another book on CD and the same problem happend on random tracks. I'm thinking about going to Genius bar and seeing if I can crash all their computers too, while my cheap work Dell doesn't skip a beat. Any other ideas?
Thanks

I noticed several permissions changes after the last install of iTunes.
Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and run the permissions repair routine on your hard drive. Then run verify disk. If any error is reported by the verify disk routine, restart your computer while holding down the Shift key. This will boot you into Safe Mode. The restart will take longer than normal, as diagnostic and repair routines are taking place. When the Finder shows up, restart normally. Then try your CD again.

  • Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • Macbook pro now says itunes not supported on this type of Mac.  only change has been addition of Apple TV. how to fix?

    My older macbook pro now says itunes not supported "on this type of Mac".  Only change has been addition of Apple TV. The Apple TV remote is also controlling the Macbook.  Is this the problem?  How to fix?

    Did you recently update OS X? The icon indicates you have a version of iTunes that is not compatible with the version of OS X you now have installed. The current version is Apple iTunes 11.0.2, and it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first - if your Mac can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • ITunes Store Crashing iTunes

    I have updated to the new version of iTunes and whenever I try to access the iTunes Store it crashes iTunes.
    This started happening after the new download was installed.
    When I click on the store icon iTiunes behaves as usual with the bar filling up with blue but when the bar fills up iTunes crashes.
    It only seems to do this on my administrators account too - which is odd.

    I'm having a very similar problem to this. I downloaded 8.0.1, and now iTunes tries to connect to the store upon startup, and crashes shortly thereafter. iTunes is now completely unusable. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11.

  • IPod suddenly crashing iTunes

    My trusty 30 GB iPod is suddenly crashing iTunes. As soon as I select my iPod under Devices, it crashes iTunes within 3 seconds. I have never had this issue. I'm on a Mac, OS X 10.7.3
    I have reset the iPod in every possible way, wiped off all podcasts and music. Placed the usb connector into a different slot on the mac.
    The only thing new is: I am using a brand new Sony docking station and speakers, which works nicely. This is now the first time I've removed it from the docking station and connected back to my mac.
    Any ideas?

    The docking station is not connected to my computer at all.
    And I've discovered that my iPod syncs just fine and does not crash iTunes when plugged into my older iBook (iTunes 10.5.3, and OS X 10.5.8). So it's something about iTunes 10.6 and/or OSX 10.7.3. Maybe I'll just wait for the next iTunes update.
    thanks

  • Audible authorisation crashes iTunes

    When I try to authorise my copy of iTunes to play my purchases, or if I try to deauthorise my computer, then iTunes crashes. iTunes plays all other audio and video files including streaming media without a problem. It is only Audible authorisation/deauthorisation that causes the crash so no Audible purchases can be played. There are no errors, it just freezes. I don't know if this is an Apple issue or an Audible issue.
    Can you help? Thank you.

    Did you ever get this solved? I'm actually having the same problem. I've moved my library from old mac to new mac and everything is fine with the exception of the purchases. any time i try to migrate them into itunes, it crashes.

  • Help Ipod crashes Itunes! :confused:

    Okay heres my issue my ipod when plugged into any computer (and try delete music or put music on it crashes) it just completely freezes (and I have to do the whole process of 'Ctrl Alt Delete' end process due to the program is not responding) It happens like this,
    The Ipod works for awhile, corporates but If i try, disconnect the ipod using the Itunes feature
    I will just crash, If i try to use the safely remove hardware it just comes up with this error message (The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device later)
    If i try delete music it crashes (if i delete the music without the program crashing and then pulled out the plug without disconnecting it and now the music is on there but wont play, and if i delete it I cant safely disconnect it I have to just pull it start out and the music stays there but don't play, It comes up i itunes with the (''!'') if front if it.
    If i manage to get to the point of being able to delete the music and start putting new stuff on it just dose not disconnect, If i try use the 'safely remove hardware' Same error as above, If i try to disconnect it using itunes it just crashes the program and the ipod goes back to having the same music i tryd to delete and none of the new music, I think its my ipod because I've tryd it on several different computers
    I cant restore the Ipod back to normal and start again because that to just crashes Itunes
    The ipod seems to work fine exect the whole issue of it crashes itunes when ever you try to do anything related to my ipod

    I have the exact same problem, I think. When I disconnect my iPod using the eject feature my iPod crashes and cannot be used. I then have to put it in disc mode and restore factory settings. I have (throuhg lots of time) found that certain albums are causing the problem. Occasionally I get a message saying "iPod could not be ejected because some files are being used in another application". Not sure where or why, but by not putting this on my iPod it works fine. Im trying to find a solution to this file issue. In the mean time I can only suggest managing the music yourself and trying to find the problematic album.

  • Can a song crash iTunes?

    I have a song I've been working on in GarageBand. When I play back the mixed-down track in iTunes, iTunes crashes. Not every time, and not in the same place in the song, but frequently. It's almost impossible to get through one listen.
    It doesn't matter if I listen to the uncompressed AIFF or an MP3 (converted in iTunes). And it's not just one corrupted file. I've mixed the song down several times as I've been working on it, and the crashing persists even across these different versions.
    This is the only song that crashes iTunes. I have been listening to plenty of other music by other artists, as well as my own music, also recorded in GarageBand and handled in the same way, and iTunes never crashes on any song but this one.
    I am wondering if there's something peculiar about this particular song, such as frequencies or amplitudes of the sound waves, that iTunes can't properly handle. That sounds ridiculous to me, but the whole scenario — that one particular song, even different versions of it, can cause iTunes to crash — is pretty ridiculous.
    I am using an 11-inch MacBook Air running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.7.1) and GarageBand (6.0.4).

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • ITunes for Mac 7.7.1 shuts down each time I open it

    Each time I open iTunes for Mac 7.7.1, iTunes shuts down. This problem has only just started occurring today on my MacBook that is running OS X (10.5.4).

  • Genius crashes iTunes 8

    After looking thru the discussions I don't see this one anywhere:
    If the GENIUS is on, then whatever I try to do in iTunes 8 that involves creating a window CRASHES iTunes.
    Once I turned OFF Genius iTunes works ok.
    PROBLEM HERE<<<<</div>
    Now when I try to TURN ON Genius it CRASHES iTunes 8.
    **I have NEVER USED GENIUS. Not signed in to it, not connected or anything**
    Basically I select GENIUS from the playlists on the left and get the "What is Genius" screen and click the "Turn on Genius" button and after about 15 seconds iTunes crashes.
    HELP!
    John in Fairbanks, AK

    Genius is a lovely feature, but it requires some URGENT attention... I found out that it crashes only at those times when iTunes is connecting to perform other tasks (i.e. downloading Podcasts; redirecting the user to a Store link, etc.) If iTunes wants to update Genius at the same time, it'll just flop out. Today it did so more than two times, so the application crash manager offered me to reset iTues's settings. I did so, then tried again. it flopped out once more, so, upon re-launch, I decided to cancel the Genius update. Then I let it finish all of the other store-related activities (updating four podcasts). After that, I forced a Genius update down its throat, and iTunes decided to go on with it this time. The funny thing is that this issue has been around ever since iTunes 8.0.0. We're now on 8.0.1, and still nothing's happened. I'd like Apple to solve this issue, as there's really no alternative to iTunes on the Mac, and I also happen to like iTunes the best even if you DO count in the other players that might exist... My library is really small, btw... Only 10GB in total (including AudioBooks, video's and podcasts) If I were to only mention the Music (Genius only sends whatever is in the Music section), it's only 7GB. I would really love this crash to get out of the app, as things like this remind me to Windows too much... Apart from this tiny issue, my iMac is really working PERFECTLY. Well, there's the infamous N73 Bluetooth issue, but that really seems to be on Nokia's side...

  • Ipodtouch Crashes ITunes after upgrade

    I just upgraded my iPodtouch firmware and now iTunes crashes every time it syncs. I tried restoring the ipod and also tried deleting the applications. nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    This maybe the problem I was having ....
    I have recently updated my iPod to firmware 2.2.1 and I have also upgraded iTunes to 8.02. All the updates worked OK and I managed to sync my iPod without issue. However I tried to sync my iPod on Monday and my iMac crashed. Having tried a few times I tried my iPod Touch on my laptop. Same issue, my laptop crashed. I have since tried it on a PPC Mac Mini and although the machine didn't crash iTunes did. At this point I suspected a fault iPod Touch, however .....
    Through a process of elimination I have worked out that I can only sync my iPod Touch if I de-authorize my machine through the Store menu within iTunes. This means that all protected content such as Apps, TV Shows, Movies and some DRM enabled songs won't sync to the iPod.
    When the computer isn't authorized my iPod Touch will sync without issue (but without DRM enabled content). However EVERY time I authorize my machine and try to sync my iPod Touch my Mac crashes EVERY time.
    I have tried 3 different machines and 3 different usb cables (all official Apple cables). I have even tried a last gen iPod Nano and when my machine is authorized through the iTunes Store menu even syncing the Nano results in a crash on all Mac's I have tested it on.
    I find it strange that Apple have just started driving toward DRM free content and now all of a sudden my DRM enabled content no longer works.
    Does anyone know what exactly the iLife Media Browser update actually does ? Because I am looking at this as a possible cause.

  • Automator crashes iTunes

    I'm not sure where to put this, if it's in the wrong place, let me know.
    I'm trying to use Automator to create a playlist based on songs which I've rated five stars for my morning alarm. Everytime, without exception, it crashes iTunes. Here's what I've done along with screenshots of the Activity Monitor:
    1) In Automator, I select Calendar Alarm.
    2) Find iTunes Items
    3) Find tracks where all the following are true, rating contains five stars
    4) Run
    5) iTunes crashes.
    I've played with it, asking it to search out Kati Perry or Madonna as artists or from Any Content, but it still crashes iTunes. The only time I've gotten Automator to work is by finding playlists. That's not what I'd like to do in the future.
    Troubleshooting: It's a brand new mac (all up to date) but I've turned it off and on, reset PRAM, and repared disk permissions.

    This may be of use
