Crash after installing Itunes 8  HELP..HELP

I installed iTunes 8 this evening and now, as soon as I plug in my iPod Touch 8 gig (running 2.0.2), my PC restarts and I get a message about some kind of driver failure...Does that sound familiar to anyone? If so, how do I fix it? I've plugged it in 3 times with the same result each time...

I'm having the same problem too! I have to say I was oddly happy to see others were having the same issue and that it wasn't just me! Now I know it's not just my computer, and with the number of people already saying they're having an issue, maybe Apple will actually do something about it QUICKLY.
I wasn't actually going to upgrade yet, but I wanted to get the free HD programs while they were still free, and you have to have iTunes 8 to do it.
Also, ever since I'd upgraded to 7.7+, anytime I connected my 2G nano or my mom's 3G nano to my computer, it either wouldn't ever show up in itunes, would show up but you couldn't do anything to it, or would let you begin to transfer files but it would take HOURS instead of minutes and then timeout. It was ridiculous.

  • System crashes after installing iTunes 9.2

    Hi,
    After installing iTunes 9.2, I recieve random system freezes when using iTunes.
    The complete system freezes, I need to perform a hard reset to use my computer again.
    Here are some relevant pieces of my Console:

    These are the only iTunes-related errors I could find...
    Many Thanks,

    I'm running OSX 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro (a couple of years old) ... and my (original) iPhone is recognized just fine by the new iTunes 9. I too am anxiously awaiting arrival of my iPhone 4 ... and got the same kind of shipment information as other folks described on the iPad; i.e. being shipped direct from China via Hong Kong. I sure hope they've got the bugs worked out of that process since the iPad 3G fiasco. I was also amused (NOT!) by "additional information" in the shipping-email I got from Apple. Basically it says that if there is a delay in activating the phone via iTunes, "trust us" that Apple and AT&T will be working to get it activated as quickly as possible and will send out an email when it is activated --- in other words "don't call us, we'll call you".
    David Brooks during his commentary last night on The News Hour made some comments about how business processes are really starting to break down in this country. I couldn't agree more. Last Thursday's mess was inexcusable! You'd think that the huge (and incredibly profitable) corporations like (BP), Apple, and AT&T would spend as much time and effort and money to get their processes in as good a shape as their products! Urrrrrr! Let's hope that the iPhone enrollment process goes better.

  • CD/DVD Drive disappears after installing itunes and quicktime HELP!

    When I have installed itunes and quicktime my cd/dvd player drive disappears?? Has anyone had this problem??

    I have had exactly the same problem with my Toshiba Laptop running Vista Home Premium for 5 months. I have continually tried updating and checking this site for a fix, but haven't had a clue. My Son-in-law works for Microsoft and uses iTunes extensively and he can't figure it out either. Toshiba has no answers.
    I am beginning to believe that Gates has scored one-up on Jobs by planting something in Vista that crashes the drive when you try to use Apple software.

  • ITunes keeps crashing after installing iTunes version 12.1.1.4

    Hi,
    Ever since I installed iTunes 12.1.1.4, it keeps crashing!  I use a Dell laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit Operating System.  Please HELP!
    Thanks,
    Samia

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    iTunes Match on the computer will not change the library content.  The iTunes Match 3 step process must complete on the computer based library before being associated with any IOS devices.
    It is always important to make a secure backup of your Song files prior to these activities.

  • After installing itunes 10.5 itunes wont open it says i have an error , i need help so i can update my ipod , HELP!!

    after instaling itunes 10.5 i cant open itunes , my pc says its an error . . what do i do  ?

    In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here.  After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.

  • Computer crashed after installing new itunes version

    My laptop just crashed after installing the new 9.0.2 upgrade. Upon reboot I received a dos screen that said my computer shut down due to a recent download and asked if I wanted to reboot in safe mode or normal mode. I chose to reboot normally and the computer would not boot. Now my laptop won't power up at all. Is there anything I can do, or has itunes killed my laptop??

    Please help me ! I don't understand why I had to restore to factory settings and then when I tried to re-sync  it kept telling me iTunes is not working. Why ??

  • The search function in the itunes store does not work.  It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search.  Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing.  Re-installing itunes has not helped.

    Hi, Mommacat26. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This usually means that a required component is missing.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

  • My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

    My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library. 
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
    P.S.  If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply.  If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

  • Please could you advise? ... After installing Itunes 11.3.1.2 on my Laptop and when reconnecting my iPad2 via USB, it is no longer visible under 'My Computer'. Any advice on resolving this issue would be most welcome. Thanks

    Any one or a combo may help
    Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home  keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    Try a different USB cord
    Try a different USB port
    Try rebooting your computer
    Try closing/opening iTunes.
    If you go through that and it doesn't work, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again
