ITunes 5.x crashing upon search - has Apple changed the iTunes site?

Greetings.
What has Apple done?
Clearly they've done something to the iTunes site.
I had iTunes for Windoze installed on 3 PCs. They're all 5.x.y.z ... (probably 5.0.1.4 - that's on one of them).
Went to search for a tune today at work (Win XP Pro machine).
Trying either to get to the Power Search screen or just trying to use the search widget in the upper right (by typing something and hitting 'Enter') caused the iTunes app to crash.
Reliably. Repeatedly. Every time.
Same behavior on my home machine (Win XP).
Whassup?
Any & all help welcome.
PC that I built   Windows XP  

hi Isapeir!
I´m having the same problem and I've installed the latest version of iTunes: 6.0.4.2.
that's more disturbing. we can't use the update workaround for you that has been working for some of the folks with 5.0.x.
let's try enlisting some additional technical help with this one.
we'll get a crash log from itunes, and send it to so someone who can interpret crash logs.
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"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using, and the precise version number of your QuickTime. (in QuickTime, go "help > about QuickTime Player" to get the info.)
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.
love, b

  • Has Apple changed the design of the iPhone 6 silicone case?

    I need to purchase a new case for my iPhone 6, i was going to purchase the black silicone case, however the reviews say the case starts peeling after a few months.
    Does anyone know if Apple has changed the design of this case since it was released, to fix the peeling issue? Also for people who have purchased one in the last few months, has your case started peeling?

    I exactly measured the weight on a kitchen scale. It weighs 17 grams. The iPhone 6 (64GB Black T-Mobile) weighs 126 grams on my scale. So it does add 13.5% weight to the iPhone. It also adds 2mm to the thickness (6.9mm to 8.9mm). But the protection is actually very good for this amount of small bulk (search youtube for the 10 feet drop test video, where almost zero damage happens to both the iPhone and the case). The case has a premium soft-touch feel in hand, much better than the cheap plastic feel of third-party case in my view. The case can be easily cleaned by a damp cloth and shows zero wear after a month use.

  • Why has Apple changed the connector port on iphone 5?

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/23/iphone-5-charger_n_1693951.html
    I read about this a while back but then saw it was actually released yesterday. Is it a money making thing or for technical reasons?
    thx a lot

    They did it in order to make the iphone thinner and lighter.  thre was not enough room for the larger connector.

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

    Hi there,
    If you purchased FaceTime from the Mac App Store, the first thing that I would recommend is removing and reinstalling the application. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

  • Has apple named the the new ipad(3rd gen ipad) ipad with retina display

    Has apple named the 3 rd gen ipad ipad with retina display.

    The iPad 3rd generation has a retina display, but it was sold for only a few months.  The iPad 4th generation also has a retina display and some of Apple pages refer to it as iPad with retian display. However, most of us in these forums refer to the various iPads as iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPad 4.

  • I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • Has Apple got the new snapchat update?

    Has Apple got the snapchat update, because when it says 'double tap to update' I do it and it doesn't update

    I don't think the question was posed to Apple directly, diesel, and the update is live for some and not for others. So the question posed is snapchat upgrade availble for only Android users, and no iphone users. Or do some apple users have it availble and some do not. So we are not as capable of checking other apple users, other than posting this question in support. 
    The only person whom I've asked about it has an android and it's up and running for him.
    I'm very excited for the update, so I've been online for a long time trying to figure out if it's an Apple thing, a my personal phone thing, or a snapchat thing.
    I too am expecting at least an apology from Snapchat.

  • In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

    Short :
    In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
    Detailed:
    We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
    It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
    Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
    I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
    We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
    Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
    P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Apple changes the philosophy of FCP X or lose followers professionals. Change to Avid or Premiere

    Apple has forgotten his followers FCP?
    Apple change the philosophy of FCP X or lose followers professionals.
    Change to Avid or Premiere

    So I'm sitting here trying to decide our future. X is clearly not usable. I cannot simply abandon hundreds of hours of HD footage shot in the last 10 years on HDcam tape. And without connections to the real professional world it's not worth the download. Apple didn't create FCP X they created iMovie-Plus. Great for the consumer with some great functions and features, but they put the system out of reach of professionals.
    It's all fine. I never trusted them to be serious in the professional realm anyway, not with the cumbersome design of the various Final Cuts. But where to go from here. Even if I were to convert all our footage to files, what format to use? ProRes? It's great but I have to check to see if Premiere will read it. 10-bit uncompressed? Again, what in the future is going to read that? And talk about storage. Ironic, because all the footage is already stored/archived—on magnetic HD tape.
