IPod Classic Crashes randomly with ntdll.dll error

Sometimes when I plug-in my 120GB iPod Classic, iTunes would crash, giving me a ntdll.dll error, and I would need to unplug my iPod classic before it would allow iTunes to start again. Upon disconnect, the iPod will try to restart and then it would unsuccessfully do so, and then it would reboot and tell me to restore via iTunes. After I plug it back in, the iPod would restore fine. It seems that if I don't sync my iPod for a couple of days, the possibility of this error happening is most likely, versus if I plugged it in consistently every day.
I have had this issue for quite a while here are the steps that I've taken to try to mediate this issue:
-Switched iPod twice with Apple Store
-Tried the sync on two different computers with completely different hardware (but windows 7 on both)
-Made a new iTunes library
-Search the support forums/google
-Tried various cables
Here is the error logs from the most recent crash:
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 9.0.3.15, time stamp: 0x4b590a69
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdadb

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: a9fac431-4342-11df-9742-00238bf6c0ab
Any help would be appreciated!

OK So I sync'd it this afternoon and in the evening, I plugged it in again, and this time it caused iTunes to crash with this error:
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 9.0.2.25, time stamp: 0x4afca401

How To Fix Ntdll.dll Errors
Try the below solutions one at a time.
* Unplug removable devices
* Restart your computer. The ntdll.dll error you're receiving could be due to a one-time, temporary issue and a simple reboot may resolve the problem completely.
* Reinstall the program if the ntdll.dll error only displays when you use a specific program.
**If the software program has any updates or service packs available, install them too. The software's programmers may have identified an issue with the program that caused the ntdll.dll error and then issued a patch for it.
**Note: Third party software programs that have been installed on your computer are almost always the cause of ntdll.dll errors. The remainder of these troubleshooting steps resolve ntdll.dll issues only rarely.
* Check the Windows service pack level you're running and then check Microsoft's support site to see if there is a more recent service pack available for installation. Some issues that caused ntdll.dll errors have been corrected in these service packs from Microsoft.
* Selectively disable Internet Explorer add-ons. If your ntdll.dll error is displaying when you start, run, or close Internet Explorer, an add-on may be causing the problem. Disabling each add-on, one by one, will determine which add-on is the culprit (if any).
**Note: As a workaround, assuming the ntdll.dll error really is Internet Explorer related, install and use a competing browser like Firefox.
* Rename the NLSPATH system variable. If your Windows system does not have this environment variable, skip this step.
**Note: This is a troubleshooting step for this issue only. Be sure to set this path back to its original name if this does not resolve the ntdll.dll issue.
* Disable Data Execution Prevention for Explorer.exe. As in the previous step, this is for troubleshooting the ntdll.dll issue only. If this doesn't resolve the problem, return the Data Execution Prevention settings to their previous settings.
* Update drivers for any hardware in your computer where updated drivers are available. Outdated drivers sometimes cause ntdll.dll errors.
* Test your memory for damage. If you're receiving ntdll.dll messages, one possible cause could be a bad memory module in your system. Testing your memory will either identify a problem or clear your RAM of any responsibility.
* Replace your memory if it fails any of your tests.
* Ntdll.dll errors could occur if you have an Iomega Zip drive on the same IDE cable as the hard drive inside your computer. If so, move the Zip drive to a dedicated IDE controller.
* Replace the IDE cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard. If this cable is damaged or malfunctioning, one symptom could be the ntdll.dll error you're seeing.
* Repair your installation of Windows. If individual software reinstallations fail to resolve the problem, a repair installation of Windows will replace the ntdll.dll file.
* Perform a clean installation of Windows. A clean installation will completely remove Windows from your PC and install it again from scratch. I don't recommend this option unless you've exhausted all previous troubleshooting ideas and you're comfortable that the ntdll.dll error is not caused by a single program (Step #2).
**Note: If a single program or plugin is causing the ntdll.dll error, reinstalling Windows and then reinstalling all of the same software may lead you right back to the same ntdll.dll error.
* While extremely rare, if everything else has failed, including the clean installation from the last step, you could be dealing with a hardware issue with your hard drive.
**If so, replace the hard drive and then perform a new installation of Windows.

Itunes 11.1.5 crashes with ntdll.dll error

After trying everything it seems I could find on the discussion groups about this error, I finally managed to solve it on my machine. Win 7 64 bit...
I turned off error reporting which was creating the minidump file. (Set it to none). It makes no sense but now I can make it through a sync without itunes crashing...

Explorer keeps crashing with ntdll.dll, verifier.dll, msvcrt.dll and combase.dll errors

Hi all,
I just bought my laptop a few weeks ago. Initially explorer only crashed (with the ntdll.dll error) when I had a lot of folders open, or when I was transferring stuff. But now I cannot open any folders at all without it crashing with the verifier.dll error.
This doesn't happen in safe mode.

This is the event log for one of the errors. I have also uploaded two dump files after explorer crashed onto my skydrive:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=05A8CC170A7688F5&id=5A8CC170A7688F5!105
Can anyone please help me? I have found many similar threads but I'm not sure which program is causing the crashes for me. Thanks very much!

Hi again,
Sigh. Explorer crashed on me again. I was using iTunes when this happened (not sure if relevant), I wasn't transferring files, and had 4 explorer folders open.
Would you please download explorer.exe.3432 from my skydrive and analyse it for me? Thank you so much for your help.

bitlocker encrypts your drive making it difficult to run programs that require constant access to your drive--it should be 'off'--however--just turning it off won't solve the problem. You need to turn it off and decrypt the drive

Do one of the following:
To temporarily suspend BitLocker, click Suspend Protection, and then click Yes.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248U receiver in Pickup. There are 2700 songs but only get through the first 200 Apple has replaced the Ipod 3x and Kenwood says it is not a problem with the receiver.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248C receiver in my Pickup. There are about 2700+ songs on the Ipod, but only get through the first 200 to 300 songs. The screen fades, but there is still power and a charge. Does anyone have a clue because I don't.?

There seem to be compatibilty isuue with KDC receiver and Ipod Classic firmware 1.1.2.

Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server c0000005 and c0000006 errors with KERNELBASE.dll error in RDP sessions.

We installed a new Server 2008 R2 server this spring. It is configured as a Terminal Server with 16 Wyse t10 thin clients connecting with RDP. We are a small resort so we run Springer Miller Host and SpaSoft. Ever since moving from PCs to the thin clients
and TS we have been seeing SpaSoft randomly crash with KERNELBASE.dll errors and also a lot of c0000005 and c0000006 errors. Springer Miller support says its a Microsoft Networking issue so no help there. The company we worked with to install this has no clue
so I hope to reach out to this community to solve this. I can also open support case with Microsoft Support but I am not sure if they will be of any help. Here are some examples of the errors:

There are no network specific errors in any of the logs. I am thinking that SpaSoft needs to be run as an administrator but I am not sure how to do that in this environment. We have disabled DEP for all but essential Windows processes. All of the firewall
and AV has been completely disabled, and still getting these errors. Is there a way to run these applications as admin without the user actually being an admin? Should I go ahead and open a Microsoft support case? Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Explanation
The indicated program stopped unexpectedly. The message contains details on which program and module stopped. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. This matching event displays information about the specific error that occurred.
User Action
If an error report was generated for this error, you might be able to obtain more information about the error by sending the report to Microsoft for analysis.
Yeah, you can open a support case with Microsoft as they will help and guide you for proper solution. You can go through

Hope it helps!

HT2305 Problem with syncing Ipod classic in Itunes with Windows 8

I am having problems getting my Ipod classic to sync with Itunes. Is 2.0.4 the current firmware for me to use with my Ipod using Windows 8? If not, please let me know what firmware I need to use. Thank you.

Hey catwoman001,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

Additionally, you may want to check out these articles:

Ipod classic wont work with Itunes

This is my first ipod purchase and I am not pleased, its 2 days old and still isn't working. I did exactly how the instructions set out how to set it up. I plugged the ipod in, it charged for a few minutes, and a menu popped up on the screen for my language, I selected it and then it went to the connected screen, and continued to charge, I loaded itunes, nothing appeared, so I decided to let it charge to full, after it had been fully charged, still nothing, I have done everything apple have suggested, reset ipod, unistalled itunes, reinstalled, turned off the ipod service and turned it back on again, used a different USB port, itunes just will not find my ipod, therefore I cannot set it up to add files to it. I am extremely disheartened by how incredibley difficult this has been as this is my first apple product

When connecting to your Mac, make sure it is a high power USB2.0 port on the CPU body, do not use the USN port on the keyboard or any USB Hub.
If you are connecting to a MacBook Pro, only one USB port can provide enough resource for the high Drain device like the iPod. The other USB port is shared internally with other IO devices.
Given the huge amount of iPod Classic sync issues, I would recommend, that you dont use any USB port with other devices, when you are syncing or Restoring any iPod Classic.
So with the above info
Reset you iPod while connected to the High power USB port.
When iTunes comes up and prompt you to Restore, please do so (this will fix any hardisk filesystem corruption)
Good Luck!

This happened to me aswell, but it happened to me when I plugged it into the PC but same problem. what you have to do is move the 'Hold Switch' to put it on hold and then move it back again and then hold both the 'Menu button' and button in the middle of the click wheel. then it will turn off and then come up with the Apple logo and then it will work fine and you can try again. (P.S: If it doesnt show the Apple logo just try pressing any button

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account. How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
