****FIX FOUND for crashing itunes****

1) Uninstall Itunes, and, if it did install Quicktime. (Only itunes would install for me)
2) reboot
3) Download/install Quicktime STANDALONE (very important)
4) install itunes
Should take care of it. After hours of frustration, it did for me.
Good luck!

hi NJranger!
Just wondering, did this fix work for anyone else?
it's very simple for you to find that out for yourself. go up to the bar in the top of the topic list. select "Answered questions" in the filter. read through the results.
you'll see that the QT standalone reinstall is a standard treatment for people receiving the "itunes has encountered an error ..." message on launch when they find that QuickTime also gives them an error message when they launch it.
what was your actual problem? have you started your own thread (using the "Post New Topic" link at the top of the Topics List) explicitly outlining your own symptoms yet?
there's a good set of tips on how to post effectively in section 2 of the terms of use:

  • FIX FOUND for iPod classic refusing to play mp3s

    I have several albums on my iPod that I've ripped myself from my CDs (using EAC+Lame to rip, foobar2k to calculate replay gain and mp3tag to clean up tags and convert RPG to iTunes soundcheck). These files play fine on iTunes and any other program, and played fine on my 5.5G iPod. But they wouldn't play on my new iPod classic. Resetting or restoring the iPod had no effect.
    After examining the files with a hex editor, I found that these files actually had TWO ID3v2 tags, one after the other at the start of the file. I used the hex editor to strip out the second superfluous ID3 tag and a load of null padding after it, making sure that I deleted an even number of bytes so that the word alignment wasn't affected.
    The files now play fine.
    It seems that the previous iPod firmware was robust enough to ignore the extra ID3v2 tag, but the current version gets confused. The root cause, though, clearly lies with the tagging programs I used rather than Apple, and with a poor definition of the ID3 standard in general.
    I've been looking around for an automated solution that will scan my entire library for erroneous tags. I'm currently testing ID3Cleanup from http://www.musicip.com/freetools.jsp, which seems as if it removes the superfluous tag and padding correctly.

    Do this on a COPY of your mp3 files to test first.
    If your MP3 has artwork embedded in it, the artwork will be stripped out.
    Go to http://www.musicip.com/freetools.jsp
    and download ID3Cleanup (available in Windows, Unix and Mac versions) into the folder with your files.
    Open a command shell (terminal) and change directory to the folder with your test files then type in
    ID3Cleanup -compact .
    (note the dot at the end)
    Sync the files to your iPod and see if they play. If not, then you may have a different problem.

  • Solution found for getting itunes to work on windows XP 64 bit

    I recently just got an ipod nano and I got it to work on my window xp 64 bit desktop. I followed the instructions from http://skunkwerks.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/getting-itunes-to-work-with-windows-x p-x64/ and it works but it comes up with an error that your ipod requires itunes 8.0 or later because the prior instructions is for itunes version 7.6.2 so you need to go to http://pctech.invisibill.net/?page_id=36 click on the last link and download itunes64setup again, except this time it's for version 8. Repeat the same steps you did for 7.6.2 only for 8 this time.

    You can run a 32 bit version of Windows XP in a virtual machine.  Microsoft is ending support for XP in less than two years, so you may want to invest in an upgrade.

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    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 are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Installing iOS 7.0.4 crashed iTunes. Wait for a fix?

    my iPhone 4 is now in recovery mode, as the latest software update crashed iTunes and wiped out the iPhone.  Best to wait for 7.0.5.

    Update your iTunes to 11.1.3 if you haven't already.
    Reboot
    Plug in phone - tap Trust Computer on your iPhone when prompted.
    You should be good to go.

    Hello to everyone out there: o)
    I have itunes 11 .. installed 1 day before, now my playlists do not agree in the presentation!
    itues keeps crashing! "Solution is sought.
    Receive message when you found solution. Itunes connect"??
    There do not appear in itunes all devices
    Windows 7
    sorry for my english!

    Hey, I have had my intunes soley shut down my computer numerous times, for the past month or so. I realize now it is only within my itunes, but it may not only be itunes. My desktop and a lot of cashed info have been cleared now, as a result of a ton of restarts by completely shutting the power most likely.
    I have been too lazy to back up my music because it messes stuff up, and goes so slow it crashes. it will probably work better if I dont even touch itunes and just transfer small parts of my library at a time, not all 120+ gb!
    I think a my computer is
               a fried
               b my files are terribly corrupted
               c or my itunes is compromised
    either way, i will back up my music, but what do you think the chances are my music is the culprate, and by backing it up I will have the same problem in the future?
    i've been thinking re-installing itunes would be best
    let me know....thanks

  • HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • An easy fix for some iTunes Match glitches

    I found that some cover art would not display on my iPhone, even though the same album would show cover art on my iMac and on the MacMini, from which it was uploaded to iCloud. Other problems occurred, too weird to describe here.
    Investigating the problem, I found that this was caused by some "stuck" sync attempts, trying to download songs from iCloud to the iPhone.
    Fix:
    1. disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.
    2. Delete all music from the iPhone (right swipe, click delete)
    3. some music will remain and can neither be downloaded nor deleted. These are the "stuck" items that cause the problems.
    4. Attach iPhone to iTunes
    5. Select your iPhone in iTunes, then click on "Music".
    6. You will see the "stuck" songs, greyed out. Most of my problematic songs showed up twice or three times, with a non-moving sync indicator in the first column.
    7. delete these songs (select all, right click, delete). I had to do this twice for some unknown reason. Force a sync and check again, to verify that they are indeed gone.
    Once the songs are gone, disconnect the iPhone from your computer. Check the music application. It should display no songs. Now, go to settings and re-enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Wait until the busy indicator disappears. This may take several minutes, depending on the size of your music library. I assume that this is the time it takes to download cover art and metadata, needed to display the list of albums.
    What is displayed on your iPhone should now match what is in the cloud.
    At this point, I am just guessing, but it seems that the iTunes Match code on the iPhone is not yet 100% bullet proof, and that it can sometimes become confused by a combination of intermittent network connectivity on the iPhone and updates to the iCloud library. Once a sync attempt gets stuck, the affected file seems to be locked and will never display the proper cover art, sometimes affecting the display of the whole album.
    I will keep an eye on this. Probably the code will become more robust over time.

    i got this problem since yesterday.
    at first (a couple of days)  --> i could delete all the songs by a simple sync due itunes....
    --> clean music app
    but now...  everything stuck in itunes match sync
    --> no fix, worked for me
    i thought i had played around with the iphone to much, so i took the ipad...
    and did a VERY CLEAN delete.... close music app --> disable itunes match --> wait for the spinner --> open the musik app --> wait for the spinner --> close music app --> usage --> delete all music --> itunes sync..
    but same problem like on the iphone about 10 songs stuck in itunes match sync... not able to get rid of them.
    on ipad and iphone!  --> strange!
    i tried also to delete all grey songs by (managing music and video manuelly)... after new sync i see the grey songs again.
    i have also noticed that there is a sync problem when you are changing any "Metadata" - cover, ablum, genre... so you have to clean your music app - (fresh itunes match sync)
    so i stuck
    and im not able to sync any new data from itunes match.
    where is the magic? Apple?
    this is like windows ME

  • After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

  • Android crash on start up: No implementation found for...nativeConnectDebuggerSocket

    Hi,
    I'm trying to debug/run an air application on android 2.3.5 (zte blade/orange sna francisco) using the air for mobile template fro FlashDevelop 4.0 with Air 3.0 and while everything compiles and runs fine on the desktop, when I try to run it on the device it copies over the apk, start the app and then crashs immediatly with the following log:

  • My iPod wont display songs even though it syncs them and sometimes it crashes iTunes. How can i Fix This???

    I have 160 GB iPod classic it worked fine for the first few months i had it now it wont sync, if it does sync it doent display the music, videoes, podcasts, etc.or it crashes iTunes, if on the off chance it doesn't do either of those things then it takes forever to sync, and it skips certain songs that worked a minute before on it and it rarely ever plays video. i tried restoring it, formatting it, troubleshooting it.so can anybody help???

    If your iPod harddisk hasn't gone  kaput yet, then try my suggestion below or else send it to Apple, if it is still under warranty.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so all the freezing symptoms point to this problem.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after checkdisk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

  • Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
    Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.
