ITunes 10.4.10-10.5 Crashes while syncing?

Okay, everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch 4G, iTunes gets to the end of,"Backing Up" and then crashes. It doesn't slow down or anything, it just says that there was a problem, and iTunes needs to close. It immediatley crashes. I am running Windows 7, I am not trying to sync through a USB Hub or anything, it's directly into my USB 2.0 drive on my computer, and with an official Apple sync cable. I have tried reinstalling iTunes, and even restoring my iPod mulitple times. I have had this problem with 10.4.10, and 10.5. Called iTunes about it, and I'm outside of AppleCare, so they won't listen to me. Is anyone having this problem, and has anyone found a solution? I can't get any of my stuff back, I barely managed to manually add all of my songs by dragging them there. Please guys, this is a bad bug with iTunes, and I have never Jailbroken or been unsafe with my iPod, I have no idea why this is happenning, please get the word out about this post, and try your best to help. Thanks.

Okay, I take that back: it didn't solve it on second time, but I think I found a possible solution.
1. When syncing starts in iTunes, immediately cancel it.
2. Uncheck any third-party app in the Apps section of your device in iTunes.
3. Sync.
Subsequent syncs should work, even if you re-check the app, but you have to do the above procedure everytime when iTunes is restarted.

  • Crash while Syncing - Touch IOS 6.1.6 and Spotify App 1.8.1.8

    I have been struggling with the spotify app since the previous version. In fact it has been a nightmare since the new look came out.
    I am also running the specs as above. I have tried all the suggestions - including re installing my firmware through iTunes.
    The app seems to crash while trying to sync playlists for offline use. It will sync a handfull then crash - and I have to keep restarting the app every time (i have just over 2 thousand tracks that now need re-downloading.) it is taking forever!
    I have tried Uninstalling/Re-installing the app
    I have tried a Hard Reset on the Ipod
    I have tried changing the language and region settings
    I have tried over a different WiFi Network (no 3g connection available)
    I have tried reinstalling firmware via itunes
    I hope the developers pick up on this and try launching a version that works on older devices.
    cheers
     

    I'm running into the same issues. The only difference is that I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1. I had about 2000 songs synced and suddenly the app crashed, even though the phone was locked. When I restarted the app, all of my music was no longer synced and all attempts to sync them back results in the app crashing.
    I've also tried reinstalling it, to no avail.

  • ITunes Crashes while syncing Larger Videos

    Everytime I try to sync a large movie..... anything over about 200MB either into the video library from directly itunes or into the app Azul through file sharing iTunes crashes about a 1/3 or 1/2 way through the sync..... Most frusterating. Also if I have a large movie file it crashes while backing during a sync....
    Any thoughts?
    Its an iPod 4th Gen running IOS 4.2.1 with a Windows XP service pack 3 PC and iTunes 10.1.1.4.

  • ITunes 11.1 giving "Not Authirized" Error while sync apps

  • Ipad crashes while syncing iPad

    Uploaded Itunes 10.4(80) and now sync crashes when syncing my iPad (version1).  Error only says "iTunes quit unexpectedly".  Reinstalled iTunes and same problem. Any have any help?

    I started having the exact same problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4.  Actually iTunes was crashing when syncing music as well as photos to my iPad 2, but Apple had me do a complete restore on my iPad 2 which stopped the crashes when syncing music (so far as I restored from backup after doing the sync), but I would still crash when optimizing 2 new photos I was trying to sync.
    I renamed the iPod cache folder and iTunes optimized about 2500 out of 2700 photos and then crashed. I ended up restoring the iPod cache folder and then syncing one album at a time.  It crashed trying to sync photos from my iPhone so I simply deleted the 2 new photos and it synced.
    I have a feeling though if I try to sync any new photos it will crash again.  I may have to restore again, but this time not restore from sync which would be a major PITA.

  • IPodcauses itunes to crash while syncing

    I just recently got my ipod touch 3rd generation. I'm running windows xp. I have my  itunes up to date (10.2.2.12). I've tried reading all the forums but can't find anything to fix it. Every time i try to sync my ipod it automatically starts syncing/backing up and can't have yet to make it to 100 songs before itunes crashes and the sync doesnt complete. i have around 4200 songs total. so far the methods i've tried to fix are as follows: [none of these worked]
    -deauthorize and re authorize itunes
    -uninstall and reinstall itunes
    -restart computer
    -delete the "backup file" and add it back
    -doing manual sync rather than auto sync
    I did try syncing on my friends mac and it worked perfectly. we're both running itunes 10.2. But then when i tried to erase and re-sync my library it just caused itunes to crash again. so i think it either has to do with windows or my particular itunes somehow.
    lastly, idk how much this helps but i have the "tuneUp" program on my computer that adds cover art and organizes your music. about 3 days ago it randomly quit working and i have yet to fix it. it may have changed itunes settings somehow??
    please help! i really want to use my new ipod!!!!

    It is certainly possible that the crash will or already has affected the OS that was being installed. It really depends on where it was at in the process of the install...
    If you're up for it, then the safe side answer would be to do another full restore and start over...
    As a side suggestion, if you do that then make sure you choose restore as new iPhone...NOT restore from backup when asked...
    Also, if you use MAC to sync, then you can also delete the currently saved software OS being used by iTunes when a restore is performed...I'm sure you can do that using a PC I just have no idea where that file is located and stored on PC...Once deleted from the computer, when you click restore it forces iTunes to pull down a fresh copy of the latest OS from the Apple server...

  • ITunes crash while syncing

    I restored to factory defaults an 80 gig ipod and ran scandisk. All seems fine with the ipod. When I try to sync it to reload the music from the latest ver of iTunes it crashes at about the same point every time. This is the error message I get. I sure would love to know how to fix this.

  • ITunes crashes while syncing iPod 5th Gen.

    I have begun encountering massive errors when attempting to sync my 5th Gen. iPod to iTunes 7.5 on my HP laptop. Almost immediately after the iPod is detected, a Vista window pops up, stating that an error has occurred and iTunes must close. Several times after this has happened, my computer has automatically restarted itself, several times going to a blue screen where it appears that major disk analysis takes place. I was once able to stop syncing and keep iTunes open with my iPod attached; I restored it to see if that could help the issue, but nothing has changed. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime, and I have tried one of the 7.4 versions of iTunes as well. Nothing is helping. Any ideas or suggestions would be immensely appreciated.

    I have a Dell Dimension. I have just upgraded from XP to Vista with a clean install. 5th Gen Ipod no longer works with iTunes 7.5 esp when syncing photos - it takes 5 minutes per photo and crashes after 5 photos.
    Having Googled this it seems there are many similar issues

  • Itunes crashes while syncing photos to 3gs

    I'm running a new pc with win7, itunes 10 and an iphone 3gs with os 4.1. All apps and video sync fine. the problem is when I have the iphone open in the devices column, and i click on the photo tab, the option to sync selected folders is greyed out. I then click on the my pictures tab and go to choose folder, itunes crashes completly.
    I have tried the delete the ipod photo cache folder route, but that hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPad, would be great if we could get some support!
    Have tried deleteing/renaming the iPad Photo Cache folder, no love. Reinstalled iTunes, restored the ipad, and still nothing.
    Please help!

  • Itunes crashes while syncing music

    Goodmorning everyone,
    I have a problem with my Iphone 3g 16gb 4.2.1 OS, because it refuses to sync music with my Itunes (10.4).
    Ever since I downloaded Itunes 10.4 my Itunes crashes during the music synchronisation process. Everything else it synchronises perfectly, even my restored apps and my contacts and emails. However as soon as i try to sync music or podcasts I get a windows 7 error saying:
    "Itunes is not working anymore, it needs to be shut down" in dutch then. With no error codes or what so ever, no explanation where it goes wrong or something that causes the error.
    I tried:
    * Deleting all itunes or apple related software and reinstalling itunes 10.4 from the download site of apple.
    * Trying to select only a few music files to synchronise which I know are still on this laptop
    What am I doing wrong and is there anyone that can help me? Because now i am stuck with a iphone without music
    Thanks on forehand,
    Regards,
    Boudewijn

    I'm having the same problem--iTunes crashes when it tries to sync music and podcasts to my iPhone 4. I've only had this problem since I installed Itunes 10.4.1.0. I'm hoping they'll come out with a 10.4.1.1 that fixes it...
    I'm a little surprised that they don't have an option to submit crash diagnostic data. I'd be happy to share it with you guys, Apple!

  • New iPhone 3G handset causing iTunes 10.1.1, to crash while syncing.

    My old handset broke and I have recently been sorted out a new one from Apple as mine was under warranty. These were both iPhone 3Gs operating OS 4.2.1. After getting the new phone, I was told to simply plug it in to my PC (running Windows Vista), and click 'Restore from Backup' in iTunes (I have iTunes 10.1.1) and it would sync my apps/music/photos etc so that my new handset would be back to how my original handset was. However, after pressing sync, my phone did half of the sync and then iTunes froze to say 'Not Responding'. This happens time and time again, and the only way I am able to restore anything is by syncing 5 apps at a time, or 20 songs at a time. It cannot complete the full backup -> sync complete without iTunes freezing. This NEVER happened before with my old handset as well. Is this something anyone else has had problems with when they have swapped handsets? Are there any solutions at all? Any help would be great as this is really frustrating!!
