Itunes 10 freezes alot when syncing.

I'm starting to notice that when my app database gets larger, my itunes tends to freeze alot more when i click on the "apps" button, anyone having this problem or is there any way to resolve it?

I fixed this by upgrading iphoto 9 to iphoto 11 at a cost of 15$ .It seems syncing photos
from iphoto 09 causes problems with the new itunes update.

"iTunes Has Stopped Working" when syncing iPod Touch

So in the last few days, I've been getting an error message when I try to sync my iPod Touch 2g with software version 3.1.2. After a few seconds, I get this error message "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." It only happens when I plug in my iPod for syncing.
I've been up and down the message boards here looking for a solution and I can't seem to find anything that works. I've uninstalled/reinstalled quicktime, then the iTunes software, I've deleted and remade my iTunes library file... I'm just at a loss. Here's the error information windows gathered up...

When I connect my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) to iTunes it gets stuck when syncing on "waiting for items to copy"

My iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 gets stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when syncing to my iTunes (version 11.1.4). I've tried;
quiting and restarting iTunes,
updating iTunes,
restarting my computer,
restarting my iPhone,
turning off iCloud on my iPhone,
restoring my iPhone from a previous back-up,
disabling "automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and
just leaving it alone for three hours to see if it would finish syncing
But none of these things have worked... I'm not sure what else to try. My iPhone suffered an error about three days ago when trying to update to the new iOS update and went into recovery mode. I had to restore from an old back-up and that is when my troubles began. However, I was previously (before the crash) having an issue where whenever I connected my iphone to my computer it would delete all my playlists. I'm not sure if any of that is relevant.

ITunes 10.6 crashes when syncing to Apple TV (1st generation)

As others have discovered, iTunes 10.6 seems to quit unexpectedly when syncing to devices. Mine seems to be Apple TV first gen. First it would quit when I opened iTunes because it would attempt a sync. This could be prevented if you could stop the sync fast enough. The cure for that was to "un-pair" the Apple TV from iTunes and the "re-pair" it back again (thanks for the tip Winston Churchill!). With a sizable music library it took 19 hours to reload my music library to Apple TV. When that was complete I found that my photo library did not sync (go figure).
So, here in lies the next problem I need suggestions with. Now, when I open iTunes, select the device "Apple TV" and click on the "photos" tab to indicate where the photos should be sync'd from, you guessed it, "iTunes quits unexpectedly" (though now it's really not "unexpected" by me). I'm running Lion 10.7.3 by the way.
Any ideas?

10.6 syncs fine with all my Apple TV 1's, it's therefore something specific to your set up and not something you should report via feedback. You might want to try re-pairing the Apple TV with iTunes.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

ITunes 10.5 crashes when syncing iPod Touch 3rd Gen. with iOS 5

iTunes 10.5 crashes when I try to sync my iPod Touch 3rd Gen. with iOS 5...help? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and from what I can tell the sync process is taking up a massive amount of CPU (i've got a 15 in MBP with i7 core, 2.2GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM). can someone tell me what's going on?

I have windows xp, mine also crashing, nothing has worked...uninstalling, resetting and reinstalling nothing.

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 *****.

Get error, iTunes has stopped working when sync iPad

when sync iPad in step 2 Get error, iTunes has stopped working

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

ITune display error -53 when sync ipod on Windows 8

"itunes has stopped working" - when syncing 4s, itunes stops at step 6.

Since updating to 10.5.1.42 itunes stops at step 6 - determining tracks to sync - when syncing with my 4S. The iphone is running 5.0.1
I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but it still does it! Windows 7 gives me the 'itunes has stopped working and is searching for a solution' line.
Needless to say; it doesn't find one...

Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hoursof frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a syncor tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1. hold down the Shift and Control key together and clickto start iTunes.
2. when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click onit.
3. you will get a box that says "iTunes is running insafe mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarilydisabled." [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but youshould clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause ofyour issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
You could already have your device connected to your computer ordo it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure ifthis is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
I hope this works. This may be the workaround for all ofus Windows 7 64-bit folks.

ITunes 9 freezes Windows when launched

Hi, I'm using Windows 7 and ITunes 9 and everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago when ITunes started freezing my PC (meaning everything looked fine but my mouse and keyboard weren't responding and my hard drive was just spinning). I've uninstalled completely using Renovo. I've tried using ITunes 8 as well, but it froze with that as well. At the time this started there were no new programs downloaded or drivers updated.
Anyone have any clue to what this problem might be? Thank you for reading.

Probably the best thing to do with that one, dimples, is to try working through the troubleshooting procedures from the following document:

Upgraded iTunes, now iTunes crashes my computer when syncing photos to my iPod Touch, how to fix this?

I upgraded to the latest iTunes this morning, now when I sync to add more photos to my iPod Touch, it crashes my computer. Why is that? And how can it be fixed?

*Replying to D&Z*
+But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast.+
We'd better check for a hidden blue screen, then.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Now try to provoke another crash.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?
If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:

ITunes freezes up when syncing IPhone during "transfer" of apps to library

Updated version of ITunes to upgrade software version. After it finished, it said to restart computer...which I did. After restarting, Itunes would launch but it keeps syncing the phone with my Itunes acct. It syncs the mail, contacts and it asks to transfer apps purchased on my Iphone to my library. It said that if I don't transfer, the apps would be deleted..so I click on Transfer. But everytime, it freezes up. The phone still showing sync in progress but it does not do anything in ITunes. I've left it for a couple of hours and restarted the process several times...still does the same thing. The software version has not been upgraded on the phone. How do I get past the syncing process? I even tried not transferring the apps but it still continues on with the syncing and freezes up again.

I've had exactly the same problem. 16GB 3GS, newest OS X and iOS4. Syncing creates a never-ending lock on my entire computer system--iTunes appears to be attempting to sync the first song but it never completes. I've even left it overnight for 6 or 7 hours. This is ridiculous. Fix this, Apple.

Itunes 10 freezes alot when syncing.
