ITUNE causes computer to reboot

Hi,
I've been having this problem after installing the last few revisions of iTUNE. Everything works except that whenever I put a new CD into the DVD Drive it causes the computer to reboot. Sometimes it's on the first insertion of CD but it can be the second or third or fourth... but it never goes pass 4 CD before it reboots... anyone else seeing this problem ? Every other piece of software that uses the DVD drive works fine no matter how many times I insert CD's into it to be read... this ONLY happens with iTUNE.

Since you have completely messed with your computer, you may want to wait for a verry experienced Discussions Member to help you, someone with over 3 bars...
Try being specific on what you have executed on services.msc, your iPod firmware version, and your iTunes firmware version (iPod should be at 1.1.1 for 5G iPod and 6.0.4 for iTunes).
I nominate bnoir, btabz or Masna to answer this a little better after you repost with specific information

    downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

    With the Error 2, 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/download.htm
    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 instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes causes computer to shut down

    Every time I open iTunes my computer shuts down within 60 seconds. Sometimes I can turn it right back on and there isn't much of a problem but often it won't turn back on for atleast 30 minutes. I'm pretty frustrated and I need someone's help.

    It stops at about 70% and freezes there for 10 mins. or so and then my computer shuts down.
    Are you getting any sort of blue screen when the PC shuts down? If so what text and alphanumeric codes is it showing? (eg 0x0000007E?)
    If it is showing a specific file name too (for example, ati3duag.dll) let us know what that is called too. Precise spelling please.

  • IPod Causes Computer to Reboot

    This happens on occasion, but it's starting to get to me...
    My computer will sometimes reboot when I plug in my iPod...
    I would like to point out a few things about my configuration. To make my computer faster, I disabled a lot of services in Windows XP using services.msc... I have assumed that most of these services are either safe to set on disabled/manual...
    I don't know if this is related to the iPod rebooting issue... However, I've enabled the iPod service and removable storage... is there any other service the iPod depends on? or is this completely unrelated?

  • ITunes causing computer and everything running to freeze

    When I open iTunes, and start selecting music it freezes my computer, my mouse placement, I mean everything for a couple of seconds
    When I change songs, search songs, or do whatever with iTunes it causes this
    I've made about 4 threads about this before in the past, and it was never helped
    It's extremely annyoying, and I would really want some help

    Third-party, meaning not from Apple. For example, I have a plug in installed that allows me to control iTunes playback from my menu bar, without having to go to the application or the mini player. Sometimes if you have a plug-in installed, and you update iTunes but not the plug-in, you can run into some weird issues.
    Regarding the speed of your USB, if the computer is relatively new, you should have USB 2.0. I have a 6 year old eMachines computer that has 2.0 on it. When you connect an iPod/hard drive to the computer, do you receive a message stating "this device can perform faster"? If so, you have USB 1.1. You can also check this in your Device Manager (right-click on My Computer and click Manage, select Device Manager in the left, scroll to Universal Serial Bus controllers on the right, click the + to expand it, and look underneath). Usually, you'll see something that says "enhanced" or "2.0" to indicate that this is what you have.
    You may also want to look into any documentation or support information for your hard drive to determine its speed. If it's a slower RPM, it might be causing some lag.

  • HELP!!  iTunes causes computer to hang up when shuffling through songs.

    When having songs on shuffle play, my entire computer hangs up for a few seconds while iTunes is shuffling through songs. I have tried everything, from completely uninstalling (going into system32 or whatever that is) and reinstalling, to turning off Sound Enhancer (that fixed the song-skip when scrolling thru playlist), to turning off Crossfade (fixes the problem for about 4 songs), but nothing seems to work. I got really mad at it today when it made my computer hang up for 4 minutes when changing songs. My computer is kind of old, but it's not a total dinosaur (P4 2.26, 1.25 Gigs of ram, sufficient free hard disk space, etc). Is there a solution to this problem, or am I just going to have to use some other music playing program?

    Try getting rid of that Shwicon2k process, if it's on your PC. It's multimedia card reader software. You can always put it back. It might be causing a conflict.

  • Burning more than 1 disc in a sessio in iTunes, causes computer to lock up.

    Hi,
    I'm trying this forum looking for help, because I can't seem to find any anywhere else.
    Every time I attempt to burn more than one disc, this always happens. I burn one disc from playlist, and attempt to burn a second. It will always hang on "burning - initialization" or something like that.
    Then, I cannot quit iTunes. Also, I can not open up any other executable program, such as Firefox, MSN Messenger, etc etc. They all hang and say the usuage is 236 kb.
    Stats:
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4ghz
    1.5gb Ram
    iTunes 7.7.1.11
    I just don't understand.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes causing computer to freeze

    Whenever I have iTunes running, when I click on it, or choose a song, or open it
    ANYTHING
    It will freeze my computer for a couple of seconds, lock my mouse position, whatever I'm doing
    It even happens when I play games, it will freeze the game, then continue
    When I close iTunes it stops freezing altogether
    I would love some help, please

    I have pretty much given up hope. I have not been able to use iTunes since I got a new computer on 1/29/08. Apple doesn't seem to care or think that there is a problem. I am in the process of converting my files back to mp3 but am trying to figure out how to salvage the 200 protected aac files that I have. Very disapointing that it has taken this long.

  • Updating or installing new iTunes causes computer to shut down

    I have tried several times to update my iTunes and get through to where it says it is validating install. It stops at about 70% and freezes there for 10 mins. or so and then my computer shuts down. I tried removing iTunes and QuickTime and downloading again but the same thing happened. All MS updates are installed.

  • ITunes causes random reboot

    Ever since I built my new machine, iTunes has caused my computer to reboot. I can play music in other ways without getting a reboot (e.g. internet radio through pandora.com). I can also play memory demanding video games(e.g. FEAR, Supreme Commander) for hours without any reboot. Is this a hardware problem, or something else? Opening iTunes is fine, it is just while I'm trying to play music. After anywhere from 0-45 minutes, the computer will reboot. I have experienced no other problems with my machine while not playing music with iTunes. Any ideas?

    I was posting on other forums as well, and a guy at www.windowsforum.org had the solution. If you uninstall Quicktime, and then install it with the standalone quicktime installer, it should work. It's a problem with quicktime when it is installed with the itunes installer.

  • Whenever I want to run the iTunes, my computer shows " iTunes has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

    whenever I want to run the iTunes, my computer shows " iTunes has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

    I had the same problem.  The fix I found was to open itunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT), click Edit, Preferences, and then the "Store" tab.  Uncheck the box that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".  This got me running, but unfortunately I have a movie on the cloud that I now can't see.

  • Itunes closing causes computer hangup

    Can anyone help me with this problem?
    While itunes is running, the computer using Windows runs fine and I can do other applications. As soon as I close itunes, the computer locks up for a while - I note that the 'processes' display under Windows Task Manager tells me that itunes.exe is using a very high percentage of the cpu - like 38% or 99% and that is preventing anything else from working.
    After a 'while' the computer goes back to normal.
    I am running under Windows XP
    Thanks

    When iTunes closes, it writes the two Library files to the PC. This can take a few seconds (2-15 or more) depending on the size of your Library.
    It will take significantly longer and cause a PC hang if your security system scans the folders that iTunes uses. This is almost always th cause for PC hangs when using iTunes.
    These symptoms are usually caused by an anti-virus or some other sort of 'always on' program scanning the iTunes library directory, where the 'iTunes Library.itl' file resides. Double check your anti-virus, and possibly anti-spyware software and see what it's doing with those folders/files.

  • 64 bits hosts on 32bits guest cause computer reboot (vbox)

    Hi,
    I've enabled AMD-V technology on my bios, and cpu's infos shows that it's compatible with amd-V technology.
    However, when i try to boot a 64bits hosts (amd-v emulation is enabled in vbox too), it cause a hard reboot.
    Digging a bit land me to http://www.ianbmacdonald.com/wordpress/ … ntu-karmic .
    Is there anything similar to do in arch?
    Regards.

    I see it's been a while and nobody responded.  Did you find the solution?On laptops, most have settings that will tell it what to do when the lid is closed.Options are often 'do nothing', 'hibernate', 'shut down', etc.You might look into that. I found this because I was searching to see how to connect to a pc with LogMeIn Rescue when the pc is listed as offline.  I found this happens when the pc is sleeping. Good luck, 

  • Ipod causing PC to reboot

    I have been having trouble with my 20G ipod causing my PC to restart. First noted something funny when I would start to play a song on the iPod and then the song would immediately cut out and the ipod would turn off. This has happened repeatedly despite battery not being drained. I have also noted that when I plugged my ipod into the USB on my PC that it caused the computer to reboot and caused a "serious error". Since first problems developed I have updated to iTunes 5.0 (although this too was difficult but eventually successful when I turned off antivirus software and removed old versions of iTunes). I have verified that the iPod firmware is up to date. Any ideas as to a cause for this and a fix? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of note is that I have used the iPod on my 2 different computers at times .... can this cause a problem?

    I have the same problem, when I connect my iPod to my pc it reboots (actually crashes). After the pc is rebooted the iPod can sync with iTunses. I can repair the problem temporarely but it keeps coming back:
    - solution 1: run chkdsk on the iPod hard drive letter from windows explorer, it finds and corrects an error and the problem dissappears for some days
    - solution 2: run the iPod Updater (2005-06-26), this completely formats the iPod harddrive I think, since afterwards it has to put al my music back on it, the problem dissappears for several weeks with this
    I'm getting nuts about this problem, I don't think it is good for my pc to crash every time I connect my iPod. Didn't find any help on the support section of the apple site.
