Itunes 10 crashes when syncing music to 160gm ipod classic

O.K. I can see that people are having the same problem as me when using an iphone / ipod touch, but, is anyone having problems with a 160gb classic? The files are being converted down to 128kps, they have to be otherwise i would need 3 of them just to get my music on.
Can i just reinstall itunes 9 to solve my problem?
Thanks, Mike

Quit iTunes. Go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Delete the file name "com.apple.iTunes.plist". Restart iTunes and it will act like it's the first time you open it. See if the crashes still occur.

ITunes 10.4 crashing when syncing music

I'm having a major problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4 for Windows. I'm now randomly crashing when syncing music to my Ipad 2.   It seems some sync fine and then all the sudden it crashes.
The crash I'm getting is:
AppName: itunes.exe     AppVer: 10.4.0.80     ModName: quicktime.qts
ModVer: 7.69.80.9     Offset: 001cd746
What's odd is that it's even crashing on audio podcasts that I downloaded on my iPad 2 which are being synced to my PC without issue, but then cause it to crash when syncing back.
I had no problems with 10.3.1 or earlier.

This is long, jump to the end if you don’t care about my new life problem! And sorry for my English, I’m not a native English speaker! Also, I’m just posting this stuff so people with this issue don’t have to try it all also.
ok, so my problem started with the ipad 2; i had a lot of pictures there but wanted to change the "stupid" way (for a windows addict) that apple arranges, or not, folders hierarchy. I deleted every single picture and imported my new structure (in windows). Useless to say that i got stuck here. i tried 100 times and i got the quicktime.qts module error (iTunes crashing). Good to know, obv, but what do i know of quicktime!? nothing...
Since i have an iPhone 4, and the iPhone only ever carried pictures taken with it, never had synced pictures before i decided to give it a try. same error…Ok, now i know the problem isn't in the devices but in iTunes itself, Quicktime, most likely.
Not happy with this conclusion, i decided to restore factory settings on both ipad 2 and iPhone 4 (4.3.5 ios). Gave it another try, after deleting every ipod photo cache folder in my library and re-installing iTunes completely (i tried re-installing before devices restoring with same error). No luck here either...
Went to discussion boards and figured a lot of people are having this issue, so i thought it’s probably in the iTunes 10.4 update, since i didn’t have a backup of my previous library, and i have 20000 songs, and didn’t want to lose the only library i had, i opted not to install previous iTunes version because i knew my library wouldn’t work and i rather have a decent library with no videos, than videos with a new library to build. So I didn’t try this.
i tried everything, there's a post that a guy, a while ago, resolved this issue (or similar) simply by deauthorizing and reauthorizing computer, or just by logging in to his iTunes account... other person resolved his issue by logging on a new windows account and syncing with a "clean" iTunes then moving to his previous account. Or deleting some quicktime files and folders that are on system32 folder, besides the 2 files that are needed... i only had the 2 needed files, no more! I tried it all, no luck.
Somewhere i read it could have to do with quicktime not being the default video player for .mov files, so i made it, still no luck.
My last try was messing with the registry looking for "stupid leftovers" of quicktime, a lot of them i knew shouldn’t be there and i deleted, but i was still stuck on the crash error. for this i removed iTunes, cleaned computer from apple stuff (all but my library files that i backed up),
cleaned registry and installed everything back again.in the meanwhile, no sure when, i figured since this could have something to do with quicktime (i noticed that it gets stuck when starting to optimize videos), i created a test folder with one picture and 1 video and I managed to pass through optimizing process. tried with 3 movies, after emptying the device and deleting cache folder (like from scratch), but Kabooom, crashed again. tried same thing, but first i opened the movies in quicktime in windows, then synced and it worked!! probably this could be the solution, tried with my whole library (2k+ photos and about 100 movies) but crashed again... probably i forgot/messed up to open some movie in quicktimes pior to syncing, but well, i was fed up with .mov files, or .mp4, m4v, FWIW (i tried them all).
After this (i only did all this because I’m computer addicted!) i rested my case, i posted on the forums and had 2 choices: wait for apple to solve this, if they care or Format my PC and probably be getting the same error, this is the only thing i didn't try cause i have lots of stuff to backup and configure, and lots of onetime license software...
I kept doing stuff with computer, installed a bunch of software (not related to this but related to DVD and movie editing stuff), after i stopped working i retried again, Meh, cleaned everything and got thru once with my new test folder (with different videos and pictures), but when i went to my REAL folders, APPCRASH again. Broke my mouse (apple owes me this!), stopped working and went to sleep.
I was real convinced this could have something to do with video encoding/decoding stuff. And also about quicktime
Now, the only thing working for me was:
Opening movies in quicktime prior to syncing (worked once or twice)
syncing right after I turned on the computer, but only small folders.
Makes me think problem is in the processor, since it eats a lot of CPU and memory at the end of a 1000 picture and videos sync. And it crashes when starting to optimize videos, sometimes I see it passes like 2 or 3 movies and crashes after. That’s why I can sync small folders right after I turn on my computer, but with big folders itunes just lags my windows wayyyy to much and at the end (when gets to optimizing videos) is really hot and slow, and crashes, I could make 1 video at a time but I believe itunes should work for itself without these “workarounds”.
I’m a computer guy and an application that uses up almost all computer CPU when “working” and “eats” way too much RAM is not a solid application… in this part itunes *****.

I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

Why does my itunes freeze when syncing music to my ipod?

Hello,
i've recently updated my itunes. After plugging in my iPod classic to my itunes to put some new music on there, it begins syncing then stops on a certain song. I have set my iPod back to default settings and then began putting all of my music back on once more and again, the sync has frozen at song 600.
Can anyone help?
thank you,
sSarah

ITunes crashes when I plug in 80GB iPod classic

My 80GB iPod classic had been working flawlessly with my MacBook Pro until yesterday afternoon, when I plugged it in to sync and iTunes crashed with this error:
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000014
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, deleting my iTunes library file, and using another computer to restore my iPod to the factory settings all with the same result. I can sync my Nano to this computer still, and I can sync my Classic to other computers. This particular computer/iPod combo has gone wonky on me. I've wracked my brain trying to come up with any system changes prior to the sudden failure and I can't think of any.
This is a work machine and I have FileVault turned on per company policy. I can't take the machine to a Genius Bar since it's not mine, and while IT looks the other way on the matter of personal music on the work machine, I can't ask them for support since it's not a business necessity. Any ideas on how to solve? Am I out of luck on getting a replacement iPod since it syncs with other machines?

RevDoddy,
If iTunes is crashing, why don't you send a crash log to those lazy Apple engineers.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. You need to send that file to our buddy Roy. Make sure that you include:
(1) the drwtsn32.log file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes crashes on launch".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
(5) the link to this thread.
(6) tell him Toonz sent ya.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get all this information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.

My itunes wont let me sync music onto my ipod touch, even though i have a ton of music on my touch already

My itunes is currently empty with no music in the library when i try and add music by dragging and dropping. (which used to work) i try and sync but it dont copy onto my touch. Any ideas?
I have tried restoring the ipod and also re-downloading itunes.

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

HT201745 There is no support in the website of apple ( a famous company for namesake) for resolving the problems arising out of latest version of itunes. I find no button for sync in the new window of itunes then how can I sync music to my ipod classic.

Sir,
On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently. But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version). My ipod serial No.is 8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel. I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system. How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod. Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod. What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.

Hello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

New iTunes won't sync music to my iPod Classic

I plug in my iPod Classic and my laptop reads it just fine, as does iTunes, but the music won't sync. The "syncing" screen comes up on my iPod for about three seconds and disappears.. Any idea how to fix this?

I had the same problem . First delete all of iTunes off of your computer thru your control panel anything with apple beside it ,your files , music is stored in a different area and will not be affected. Before you down load the new iTunes turn off Norton or any protective software you have ,just for as long as it takes to down load the new file. Then reinstall. Worked for me

Windows XP crashes when I plug in new ipod classic

I bought my daughter a ipod classic for Christmas and she hasn't been able to put any music on it. When we plug it into the usb on the pc (emachines T1840 - OK it's old) it gets a blue screen stating an error. STOP: 0x0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X00000000, 0XF8D30908, 0XF8D30604) It mentions possible BIOS updates?? or disabling BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing?? I have tried updating USB drivers, but it tells me that what i have is current and I tried to uninstall and re-install USB drivers. She has a shuffle and that works and the usb drives work for our digital camera. Any sugestions?? Help.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sorry to hear about that 'misbehaviour'.
Might be better to post the question in the 'iTunes for Windows' Forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150
Better chance of getting an answer.
Good luck

ITunes 12 crashes when syncing apps with iPhone 4

Does anyone know the solution to this issue, I know it has been around for ages and I can not find anywhere anyone who has resolved this.
When I try to sync my iPhone 4 apps with iTunes 12, iTunes crashes and leaves ghost icons on my phone. This did not happen on the previous version of iTunes. If I make the app versions identical in iTunes and the iPhone it will go through the rest of the sync process,eg adding songs ect. I have tried all the normal fault finding stuff like reinstalling and factory resetting phone with no joy. Can someone from Apple please confirm this is a known issue and if it is likely to be addressed?
Thanks in advance

I thought that would be the response when a iPhone model is not supported any more, thanks Apple

Itunes shuts down when syncing music

Trying to put music on my new ipod nano 7th gen and itunes keeps shutting down

When my new 80GB iPod attempts to sync my Outlook contacts information, Outlook opens, and then I get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" screen and iTunes shuts down.
hmmmm. in the "further information" link, is there a particular compenent being identified as causing the crash? if so, what is it called?

ITunes 11 crashes when syncing iPhone

I just installed iTunes 11 and it crashes every time I try to sync my iPhone 4S. As soon as it tries to update an app on the iPhone it crashes. Any ideas?

Try restarting your Mac and your iPhone.
If that doesn't do it, try to narrow it down a little.
What is syncing to the iPhone when iTunes crashes?
Do you see the problem when you deselect some of syncing options, or just deselect the one that is shown at the top of iTunes when you sync?
If it's a podcast, video or audio track, did you get it from the iTunes Store?

ITunes error -69 when syncing music to iPhone 6+

Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.0.1.26. Factory reset iPhone. Restored iPhone from known good backup. Now trying to get all my music onto the iPhone. iTunes stops in the middle of the sync with this message: "iTunes could not copy [track info] to [iPhone 6+] because an unknown error occurred (-69).
I factory reset iPhone after failure, tried again. iTunes still failed, reporting the same error, but in a different place during the sync.

I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

ITunes thinks it is syncing music onto my iPod and finishes sync without actually doing it and it is greyed out on "on this iPod" how can I add it properly?

My iTunes is doing the most frustrating thing.
I'm trying to sync a new album I've downloaded and every time I drag it across to my iPod (I manage my music manually) it begins to sync and then finishes almost instantly. Checking in the "on this iPod section" the music is there in that greyed out state with the dotted circles next to each item as if it were to sync but it never does it. Its so frustrating
I tried making it autofill from a playlist only containing the songs I was trying to add and receive the following message:
"iTunes cannnot add any songs to the iPod because it already contains all the song in (titled) playlist."
So it thinks the songs are on there but they're not actually synced.
If you'd like any further info it is an iPod touch 3G i believe, 32G, OS 6.1.6.
almost filled up but space is definitely not the issue. The files are MPEG audio files 320Kbs
For the record I hate iTunes and all its f**king antics there has to be a better way...

Alrite simple fix if anyones having the same problem sorry, just gotta delete all the greyed out material on your iPod and re - add it seemed to work
