IOS 6 iTunes crash/running slowly

Alright so ever since i've upgraded to iOS 6 the iTunes store constantly runs slow and crashes. I've restarted my iPod and killed all running apps. I have a feeling its a bug in the update but if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to listen!

Try restarting and the iPod touch.
If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the time incorrectly (Settings > General > Date & Time), test again, and then set it back to the correct time.
You can also take a look at this Apple doc for other ideas -> Can't connect to the iTunes Store

My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore! I need my Contact information!

My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore! How can I get my contact information back?

When does iTunes crash?
When you connect to the computer?
When you click on the restore button?
At sometime during the restore?
Does it crash or does just iTunes freeze?

Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

I tried resetting to factory and that worked for a couple of hour then I ended up with iTunes crashing again. So I logged out and logged back in and so far so good. This has kept me working for 3 days now so I won't guarantee a fix but it seems to have worked.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Store click on your login email and select logout. I closed all of my open apps at this time and restarted my phone which was probably an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to ensure any temporary files were gone. Log back in and hopefully all will work for you.
Good luck.

ITunes crashes running diagnostics since buying QT Pro

I recently did a complete rebuild of my box and reinstalled itunes 7.5 clean. Everything worked great until I registered QuickTime Pro - now whenever I try to run itunes diagnostics, itunes crashes with the following messages:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.5.0.20 ModName: quicktime.qts
ModVer: 7.3.0.70 Offset: 0000dc89
This happens every time - even after deinstalling and reinstalling 7.5. I am trying to run the diagnostis to troubleshoot a seperate Apple TV sync / stream issue.
Any ideas?

Eventually resolved this as unrelated to QuickTime Pro purchase - just coincidental.

Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad? I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1. Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad) from computer to Ipad. It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update. I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
I've restarted my iPhone.
Restarted my iMac.
Re-installing iTunes.
Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
All with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

After iOS 4 update on iPod Touch, iTunes crashes when iPod is connected.

I just updated my iPod from 3.1.3 to iOS 4, and after all of that, when I plug in my iPod Touch 2G [version 4.0 (8A293)] to my laptop, iTunes crashes. A window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working," and then iTunes closes automatically. When I do not already have iTunes open and I connect my iPod, iTunes will open and then close a few seconds later with the same pop up box.
I tried seeing if it was a syncing or connecting issue, so I turned off automatic syncing and the problem still exists. Therefore, I think it is a connection issue.
*Note: When I was updating to iOS 4, I left and came back to my computer with it running on idle. Could that have had an effect? If so, how can I just redo everything?
**Another note that may be helpful is that while I do still have all of my music and videos in iTunes (which works totally fine with no iPod attached), the videos and music is NOT on my iPod. But, my apps all work fine on my iPod.
I would really appreciate any sort of help I could get for this problem. I was really looking forward to the OS update, but now I am disappointed because of this major problem.
THANK YOU for your help!

I would try moving the existing iPod backup file to a safe locations and let iTunes make a whole new one. The location of of the backup file is:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

I did IOS 5 update as per onscreen instructions and lost all my data, photos ,music , everything. Thus is the worse experience . Now iTunes crashes on startup.

I use iTunes for my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 . When I did the ios5 update on my iPhone iTunes reported that threvwas a problem , tgatvsone of my data did not get copied . Well none of my data got copied , ios5 got installed ok but I lost all my photos , music , books , apps. What a horrible situation. I cannot get iTunes to run . It crashes after about 45 seconds , reports that something is preventing it from running . I repaired iTunes with a fresh iTunes 10.5 file but to no avail. Oh , and iTunes installed all my apps on my iPhone . Mean apps that were for my iPad and iPod touch. It installed about 300 apps on my iPhone. This is insane . That **** IOS 5 is a ruinous upgrade. What do I do ? I can't sync my iPad any longer no iTunes. I don't know.......

The passcode is defintely doing its job, denying access to your personal info from unauthorised users. The way I look at it is if there was another way to bypass the passcode then whats the point?. You would then have a passcode just for show, that didn't protect anything. Anybody and everybody would have access to all your data.
I understand your frustration in regards to losing data, thats one of the worst things that could happen with devices now days that hold so much information. I do not believe the issue was your fault but your colleagues. In saying that it would have been wise to make frequent iTunes back ups or enable automatic iCloud back ups as that is what they are there for.
As already explained this is a user to user forum, Apple does not comment or review the information. If you believe Apple should have another way to protect their devices or another way around this issue then please provide them with feedback here:

All the best.

ITunes crashed during transfer purchases now says This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device

The problem that have started when I was going to sync my iPhone 4 with current iTunes running on 64bit Windows 7.
I started iTunes and plugged in my iPhone.
All looked good and the iPhone came up as the device as it should have.
Next I wanted to transfer purchases prior to syncing so I started the Transfer Purchases process.
iTunes stopped working during the Transfer Purchases process
Now when I plug in my iPhone iTunes takes me to the “setup your iPhone” screen and displays “This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device” and only allows me to restore and old backup or setup as new.
Obviously some files were not closed properly when iTunes crashed during the transfer purchases process, how can I cleanup iTunes so that it will allow me to backup and sync my phone.
I am a software developer and am sure that a fix is not in the menu options What I am saying is that I can easily remove or edit corrupt files to get it working.
Thanks, Mike

The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

Can't connect to the iTunes Store

ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!
HP Windows XP Using DSL for internet access

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

ITunes 10.2.1(1) runs slowly when left running for extended time

iTunes on my Mac runs slowly the longer it is left up. I have two AppleTV's (ver 2), and if iTunes has been up for more than a day, it can take minutes for the list of movies/tv shows to appear on the AppleTV. Likewise, iTunes itself becomes very sluggish, unable to access the iTunes store or sync ipod/iphones.

it was a plugin i had that was causeing it: DockArtPlugin.bundle

IOS 8 / iTunes befor sync all with my iPhone 6 (music and pictures) are Crashing. And when i scroll in my Photo library, increased it.

You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

ITunes running slowly. (I know this is embarrassing)

I've been using my MacBook Pro 13" for 5 months and I just noticed that iTunes is started to run slowly. I don't have a lot of music, the rainbow wheel is appearing often, meaning the Mac is loading some form of info and unnecessary situations. I really need help.

Lucas...took me a bit to find the link, but see if this helps:
