Intalled iTunes 8--caused system to shutdown

Okay, skip the advice about not installing the latest version on the first day...
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...

This is Apple's really Archaic, poor and offense way of violating your personal rights to try and stop DRM filtering. You see, there are programs that used to rip a stream from itunes, after you authorized and encoded it into a different format, like Xvid, divx etc. Unfortuneatly apple's answer this this was to just block all sound to third party apps, while itnes if open, if it thinks that app is pulling a sound strem...Congradulations, you're apple's first innocent victom. So much for thinking different and outside the box, we're selling a difference, a lifestyle, ya da ya da...I lile OSX, but if this os one of apple new routes, its back to the fuly Free Unix/BSD world for me. I like that OSX is BSD, but iof they're going to circumvent my freedom, they can blow.

  • Updating iPod from iTunes sporadically causes system reboot

    This one is driving me slowly crazy, so help is appreciated.
    I'm running version 6.0.4.2 of iTunes and iPod updater 2006-03-23 on a Windows XP Media Center PC with a 20 gig iPod Photo. Have been blissfully using iPod and iTunes for months with zero issues with regular updates when prompted.
    Over the last couple of weeks, my computer is sporadically rebooting in the middle of an iPod update. This usually happens in the following sequence:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Connect iPod
    4. Automatic update happens
    5. Make some changes in iTunes, such as downloading new podcasts
    6. Update iPod manually using File, Update iPod
    VOILA! Reboot.
    It doesn't always happen on the manual update. Sometimes, it happens with the automatic update (although less often). Every once in a while the manual update goes through just fine.
    After this started happening, I thought long and hard about any system changes and had installed a new DVD/CD burner program, so I removed it, rebooted, reset the iPod, updated both iTunes and the iPod updater. Just for good measure I ran a full virus scan and AdAware to get rid of any unknown nasties.
    Well, it's still happening and I am stumped and annoyed. Any ideas on what I might be able to do here?
    Thanks a lot!

    hi Heather!
    are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Itunes/Coverflow causes System Freeze.

    Anyone else having this issue? A few days ago after updating my system to the latest version, my system kept freezing out of no where. Well today I found out that coverflow in itunes, was the problem and everytime I use coverflow my system would freeze up eventually.

    I have sent a post lately on another discussion about my itunes crashing: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6747610#6747610
    Now I know that the problem is the Cover Flow display options. I get a spinning beach ball only while i'm surfing in the Cover Flow window and then i got nothing to do except restart my MacBook Pro. Since my 10.5.2 and 7.6.1 upgrade the cover flow in itunes is freezing my Mac.
    Everything's fine (i've tested it for hours) if i'm not using the cover flow display.
    My macbook pro is 5 months old.

  • Hibernating causes system to shutdown

    I have a T400 2767-CTO with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz 2 GBs of Ram running Windows XP SP3.
    When I put it into Hibernate the system goes through what looks like hibernating, with a hibernate progress bar but the system actually shutsdown.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This was a nightmare to solve, but I finally figured it out (!)-
    I have a Lenovo T400 (model 2764CTO) with XP downgrade, SP3 and all current Lenovo updates including the most current version of the BIOS (2.07).  Since installing the most recent BIOS, I was experiencing BSOD every time I closed the computer to hibernate OR when I would manually try to hibernate - I'd then get some error with ATI2dvag.dll.  Looking at the forums, this is hardly a problem I am experiencing alone.
    Lots of people suggested reinstalling previous versions of the BIOS, which I tried - 2.03, and then 1.20 - but the crash persisted and resulted in a serious error for Windows that couldn't be reported by sending an error report (I got a screen that basically said "You're in trouble somehow, because the problem can't even be reported to us...some file is corrupt."  Bad news.
    I then begin looking at forum problems elsewhere and found that the problem may be with the most current driver for my ATI Radeon integrated graphics card (HD 3400) - my driver was concomitantly updated to version 8.55.081010a-071474C-lenovo.  I decided to rollback this driver (can be found on Lenovo/ibm drivers download site) to the previous version: 8.503.2.2000.  I downloaded this, replaced the most current driver - and the problem has absolutely resolved itself.  Strong suggestion to anyone having similar crashes with hibernation/sleep - roll back the ATI driver.
    Hope this helps - it took me about 3 hours to figure it out.  I sincerely hope that Lenovo and ATI look into this issue because it's incredibly frustrating to users and the potential to lose or corrupt data while doing something as benign as hibernating is very high.

  • Accessing itunes store causes window to shutdown

    Since I've downloaded itunes7, whenever I access the store randomly the application shutsdown. I can access the store but I never know when the whole thing will close. I'm not having this problem with any other application and can access my library no problem--it's only with the store. Can anyone help??

    OMG, I'm having the same problem. GRRRR.

  • ITunes Causing System Freezes

    After playing a CD or listening to my music library for a while, I get random freezes; eg spinning beachball in iTunes. It happens when an album is finished or a playlist is finished and I go back to iTunes to eject or quit or play a new playlist. Freezes. When I try to click Apple (in order to click on Force Quit), it isn't available...the beachball rules. The only thing I can do with the cursor is click on Finder in the Dock; or the desktop area outside of open apps. Cmnd+Q doesn't work. Cmnd+esc doesn't work. CmndoptnQ doesn't work. Cmndoptnesc brings up the force quit dialogue. That leads to a "force finder to quit?" dialogue. A couple times I've had to resort to hard rebooting.
    Suggestions would be appreciated; but another issue is the fact that this is causing system freezes and I was under the impression that the cool thing about OS X is that one app won't cause system freezes.
    There's another similar thread titled 'it crashes', but system freezes aren't mentioned.
    Any ideas?

    Still doing it...but I give up on getting any help.

  • Mac OSX 10.6.7 update causes iTunes and entire system to be unresponsive?

    Hey all,
    I updated to the latest OS X patch today and I've been having problems with iTunes crashing the system ever since.
    iTunes would open and the entire system cease to be responsive: the mouse cursor does not respond to movements on the touchpad and the functions keys no longer do anything.
    Is this a problem that anyone else is experiencing?

    Sam problem here, all use of the latest iTunes freezes my whole computer, this has never happened to me with OS X before.
    But I have friends who are not having this problem, so it is not affecting everybody. Could it be some other installed app that causes this?
    Is there any simple way to downgrade to 10.6.6?

  • Moved Library between PC's and now Itunes is causing the Pc to shut down.

    Hi Guys,
    sorry this is going to be such a long post but I typed all this out for an apple tech e.mail and they have referred me here. I don't want to type it all again so I've cut it from my original message. In addition to the info below to be clear, I have un-installed and re-installed a couple of times to try and resolve the issue but it's not worked. The machine seems rock solid playingDVD's and the same media files in windows media player.
    I can only think it has something to do with the way in which I have transferred my library (Unless it is a hardware fault but It seems stable doing everything else!) I've also deleted all the previous iTunes librarys that came when I ported my files across to the new machine. I'm lost, hope you can help. I think the key is in the event log error messages but I'm not tech enough to understand what I'm being told. Sorry.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I have just transferred my iTunes library from one pc to a new one which will be used as our house media PC. I did this via a network switch.
    After downloading iTunes and insytalling i have added my library by "File/Add folder to library" and selected iTunes music folder.
    iTunes store works ok but if I try and browse my music collection after 3 or 4 mouse clicks in iTunes library mode the software switches my PC off. The machine is stable under all other applications, it is only in the library that this problem occurs. The shutdown has no warning, it's much like the plug has been pulled.
    i have checked the event log and the following messages are present after every crash. Oddly, windows does not detect the crash and the PC re-starts without any blue screens, warnings or prompting for safe mode.
    This:

    iTunes and this library is still functioning on the original PC without a hitch. The library does include 5 albums I bought and downloaded from iTunes, I tried authorising the PC incase it was related but it still crashes.
    I assume it must be something to do with the library transfer or the way i have done it. i have not yet mated my ipod with the new machine, is this relevant?
    Two other errors relating to iTunes show up in the event log which I will paste below however, iTunes has cause the PC to crash bothe before, and after these events.

  • ITunes is causing entire computer to freeze.....

    iTunes is causing my entire computer to freeze since my last upgrade. If I'm using the application or its up and I'm not using it, after a while, it will cause the entire computer to freeze and I have to do an emergency shutdown because my mouse won't even move. Everything is locked up @ this point. Having the iPod plug in without the application up doesn't really seem to bother from what I've seen it but there were occasions when the iPod was plugged in and the application was in use that the computer made this skitzing sound and then completely locked up. I got the blue screen on approx. 2 occasions. And when I plug my iPod up to some speakers in the same manner you plug up headphones (Sony brand), I got that same skitzing sound while listening to one of the songs, but it didn't stop playing.
    It has froze/shutdown while using the application alone while I'm browsing the store for different items. This is the majority of the times it has happen.
    It has froze/shutdown while the iPod was plugged in.
    It has froze/shutdown while the application has been open on the computer but not in use. And this is the only common factor going on in relation to the shutdowns.
    I use the same thing basically everytime I come on this computer. Always FireFox, MSN, Gmail Talk, & Yahoo Messenger running in the background. <--- This hasn't caused a problem before. And that's about it. I've had the computer to slow down due to low memory but not the skitzing sounds and frequency of shutdowns its experiencing now.
    Can anybody relate to this and if so, then what should I do? Is there a problem with the last release? And at this point, what should I do about this?

    i had a similar problem recently. what happened to me was that itunes was doing some kinda "reeding" of music files of some sort [i honestly dont remember the exact name of the action], but whenever it got to a certain song, it would do the same thing you are describing which is crash the computer or freeze it up. i decided to actually FIND the file that was causing the problem and when i got rig of the file and started itunes [this after having to turn itunes on and watch my computer freeze up again to acquire the song name] it worked perfectly.
    it seems to me that [since the file itself was a rip of a rip] it might have been corrupted some how and so itunes didnt know what to do with it. i looked at the file and an mp3 file that should be in the range of 2-5mb was actually in the range of 1-200kb which leads me to believe that the file was corrupted.
    i dont know if that will help, but i hope you get your problem resolved...

  • ITunes crashing caused by differen versions in Library/Receipts..??

    I am also encountering FREQUENT crashes of iTunes while using different functions....
    In response to one of the people posting a message I noticed that I have 2 different versions of iTunes in my Library/Receipts folder-an old iTunes.pkg version 4.8 and the newest iTunesX.pkg version 7.0.1...
    Could this be the problem causing the crashing, or, as I have read many messages, does it exist from the new version ?

    These are the system requirements of iWOW:
    Mac OS X 10.2 or later
    OS X 10.2 and iTunes 6 or better
    Will not run on specific combination of iTunes 7 with OS X 10.3.9
    Will not run as intended on OS X 10.4.8
    Because of the last line, I haven't installed and tried it.
    I've read and replied to some posts of people who had difficulties after the evaluation period of iWOW expired and wanted to get rid of it.
    Did you use the accompanied Uninstall application to get rid of it?
    It may otherwise have left pieces that interfere with iTunes and cause it to crash.
    That 'Uninstall' app. is a run-only script, so I can't look into it to see what it exactly does.
    If you didn't run that Uninstall app., it might be a good idea to run it now.
    I don't expect re-installing iTunes to solve the problem, but you never know.
    Remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' file before doing that and also trash the iTunes application, so the Installer will install a complete 'fresh' app. and not just update components.
    Re-installing iTunes will not affect your library or library files.
    If you still experience crashes, click 'Report' and save the report. I'm not good in reading crash reports, but it contains information about the thread that crashed and the components involved. Someone might be able to detect the culprit.
    As a last resort, perform an 'Archive and Install' of OS X. This will install a complete fresh system folder, but retain most of your personal settings.
    I's a good idea to have a backup of at least your Home folder before doing that.

  • After running iTunes, Macbook pro won't shutdown

    I am using iTunes 10.4 and have recently installed the Lion OS. The problem has existed for about 3 months now (I was running snow leopard and iTunes 10.3), I have been to the Genius Bar numerous times, on the phone with Apple Care and in many chat rooms, all to no avail... The problems is that if I open iTunes at anytime after starting my system, then I am unable to shutdown. The screen usually goes as far as the bluish/gray screen with the spinning ball but then I have to hold in the power button to shut it down completely. This problem does not occur when i run any other program, only when I use itunes. Activity monitor claims itunes is closed and not using any CPU, so I really don't know what the problem could be! I have used the repair function in disc utility and I have done a complete system re-install (once with time machine and once without), nothing seems to work! Any suggestions out there on how to solve this annoying problem?

    Hey, I found something.
    1. If you have other PCs (running Windows XP/2003/Vista/7) in your home, shutdown them first.
    2. Open iTunes.
    3. Close iTunes.
    3. Then shutdown you Mac.
    Try it.

  • KERNEL Security Update Causing System Havoc

    MAY KERNEL PATCH CAUSES SYSTEM HAVOC
    We regularly update our patches, including recommended kernel security patches for Solaris 10.
    However, two days ago upon attempting to load the weekend Solaris 10 security patch (the latest as
    of this writing), the system indicated that the install had failed. After that, it was all downhill and as
    of today our main server is completely down.
    Being based on a ZFS file system didn't particularly help either as it appears that whatever problem
    was generated by the botched init5 installation of the Kernal Security patch got copied to the mirror
    disk, because the despite the failed installation the bootarchive was "updated" before shutdown
    and there didn't appear to be any way to restore from the mirror.
    What few errors I could view before even rebooting failed had to do with PCI and basic boot-time
    mounting. Currently, there is not even enough time for any text to appear on screen before the
    system reboots again (i.e. a reboot-loop).
    It appears there is no choice in a case such as this other than to restore from a zfs snapshot and I
    am not even sure that will work with no functioning kernel! I'll try it from fail-safe.
    Somehow I feel I am not alone this weekend as a frustrated system administrator. What has been
    most frustrating is that this was not an optional patch, but a kernel security patch which most of
    us would conscientiously add!
    Anybody been here, done this? Is there a "best procedure" in this case?
    Thanks for any help you can provide on restoring after a botched kernel update!
    Gunnar K. A. Njalsson
    The SPACEPOL Corporation

    We switched to Windows Server 2008 Enterprise this week, partially as a result of the problem above and not having
    a simple and straight-foward solution to recovering backup snapshots.
    In my opinion this is a real weakness with ZFS and the Solaris operating system. It should essentially be a no-brainer
    that there exist a simple file system-integrated solution that does not require all of the extra calculations, mirrors,
    commands and set-ups which are currently part of Solaris and ZFS. These are valuable tools, but in the case I
    mentioned above, the major problem was a false sense of security provided by all of the hype about ZFS and
    mirrors.
    It only took a botched official update to copy the errors to the mirror and thereby loose our data and make
    recovery a very intricate process which we did not have time to do. Windows Server provides us with a simple
    interface for backing up our data and server on a separate disk at times of our choosing and with a recovery
    or restore option that is intuitive and just as simple as backup.
    I love Solaris and Sun and share much of the philosophy of UNIX and related tools. However, in a security-focused and
    critical production environment such as ours, it's not a matter of my personal likes and dislikes; but a question of
    being able to get typical system administration tasks done simply, even if they have to be left to non-computer scientists
    at times. Solaris worked well for a year, but when the kernel became corrupted by an update, everything was lost.
    That's too much risk!

  • Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

    Why does iTunes Match cause iTunes to crash ?

    My problem is similar.  It began right after I allowed an Adobe update to run.  (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 is recorded in my Registry.) Now every single website I try to open triggers a window (see below) and repeats many times.
    It makes no difference whether I "Allow" or not.  I think it runs this window for every flash object on that website.  It is occurring while I enter this post!
    It makes using the Internet MOST challenging.  Surely this is causing major problems for everyone.
    I have IE8 on Windows Vista.
    Here's the text from the message:
    "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer.
    This program will open outside of Protected Mode. Internet Explorer's Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open this program.

    Should I appeal to Microsoft or Adobe for a solution?  Is is possible to install the previous version?
