ITunes 7.0.2.16 Crashing during "Updating library"

Hello,
iTunes 7.0.2.16 seems to install just fine, along with Quicktime. My problem comes when I open iTunes. It wants to update my library (I do not know why), and I seem to have no control over preventing it from doing so.
Anyway, it proceeds to nearly finish. Within' the last 5% or so, it crashes. The box that appears is one of those "Would you like to send this crash information to Microsoft" boxes that give little more than techno garble about what the error could possibly be.
I haven't found anyone else experiencing this problem yet. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime both, and reinstalling. But to avail.
Can anyone help?

the library update may be crashing on a song file (or files).
tracking down which file is associated with this can be a trial. but some folks have been having some success using Roy B's technique from the following post:

Why dose iTunes 10.4.1.10 crashes during sync in windows 7?

I have an issue with iTunes 10.4.1.10, apparently it crashes just before the sync process finishes. It all started after the last iTunes update. Running windows 7 64bit, what are my options to correct this issue?

Same thing is happening to me when I sync my ipad2 with iTunes 10.4.1.10 using Windows Vista Basic. Previously it worked but now for some reason, it crashes during sync of photos. I can sync a few photo directories at a time, but when I try to sync all photo directories or more than some magical number of photos, it crashes. I would love to find out what I can do about this.

Apple tv crashed during update

My apple tv has crashed during an update. I has got stuck on step 1 of 2 preparing to update.
I may have caused this by trying to use during update.
Should i unplug and start over
Thanks

You are not supposed to use while it is downloading and applying the update. It's very likely to have caused the issue. I don't think you can just unplug and start over, though you may try.
I would suggest grabbing a micro USB cable and restoring in iTunes, which will also download the latest update

Restore from Backup in iTunes would recover them.

MacBook crashed during update - will not boot

My wife was using iTunes and was prompted to do seven updates on our MacBook. She was told to hold in the power button during the update, and the machine reset.
Now the machine will not boot and just accesses the CD/DVD drive over and over.
Does anyone here have any ideas?

Alright, I was able to fix it.
I had to download the Firmware Restoration image for Intel based MacBooks onto my Windows XP machine. I then used a demo of the program 'UltraISO' to burn the .dmg image.
The macbook was turned on, the disc inserted. Then the macbook was powered off, and powered back on. This time I held in the power button until the long tone and gray screen appeared.
The folks at the Apple Store had no other suggestion other than paying $183 for AppleCare. They need to spend less time telling customers how reliable Macs are and a little more time burning copies of this restoration disc!

Itunes 7.0.2 crashes whilst updating library

Hi All,
I have just logged onto my itunes and found out that itunes 7.0.2 is available. D/l 7.0.2 and went to run, accepted the user agreement, itunes opens with a message saying 'updating library', gets about 3/4 the way through and i get the message "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close".
I read several items from support and forums, so far i have;
- checked for viruses
- completed disk clean (defrag not necessary)
- tried to reinstall 7.0.2 (same message)
- deleted the quicktime files and did a repair to itunes
- deleted itunes ISCFinfo
NO JOY with any of these actions. Can anyone else shed some light on this problem for me....
Cheers, dan

Hi B-Noir
I have had no success with either of the options you offered.
1 - having used the previous version of the library (from sept with only 2400 tracks) itunes crashed in exactly the same way with no option to view any of the tracks as suggested in the tips.
2 - the help point taking the xml file onto the desktop and deleting the itl file never worked either.
What happens next....?
Thanks, dan

Ipod will not restore crashed during update

ipod crashed on update and will not work. it said to do a restore but I have tryed 2 times and both times the restore didn't work

I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

Bios recovery for HP dv5-1235dx/Vista (64-bit) crashed during update

My HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx which ran windows vista (64-bit) crashed while updating bios (after my old bios was deleted). I have tried the start+b+power trick to recover but that option did not work. HP Support suggests to create a usb key to install bios, however I have repeatedly failed in recovering/installing bios because the instructions are very limited. They mention a "create a usb key" option that I have yet to find that would make the key. After using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and extracting files from the bios .exe file, I found the following:
1 folder (sp45138) with contents below
3602F21.fd
3603F21.fd
ding (wave sound)
InsydeFlash (application)
InsydeFlash (text document)
iscflash.dll
iscflash.sys
iscflashx64.sys
platform (configuration settings)
So, my questions are as follows:
Where is the mystery "create a usb key" button?
What files should I have installed on my usb drive?
Does anything have to be renamed or formatted?
Thanks for any help given!

Hello Ceelion21. I understand you're trying to recover your computer from a failed BIOS flash.
I see this question get asked a lot so I have made sure to bookmark the instructions which I found on another website. Here is a link.
You should be able to download the BIOS file from HP Support. I believe you'll need to use an application such as 7-Zip to extract the BIOS file and locate the *.FD file.
If this doesn't work you'll likely need to have the notebook repaired. If you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP Support and are in the US/Canada you can give them a call at 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
Let me know the result of the BIOS recovery. I hope you have an excellent night!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Aperture 3.01 Crashing on updating library

This all stems from my G4 MacBook 17" being stolen. My Aperture programme was on the laptop but luckily my library was on my office hard disc. This has a mixture of imbedded files and referenced files on a variety of media - CDR', DVD's and hard drives.
Laptop has been replaced with a new MacBook Pro 17" this week and loaded with an upgrade for Aperture 3 and Final Cut Express 4.
Aperture has been updated to 3.01 via software updater.
Aperture will run with the sample library but after upgrading my main library which went fine everything was OK until i quit and restarted the next day. It then crashes 30 sec's after starting and restarting continuously the same repeats itself.
I have created a new empty library and imported the updated library into it and again all is ok until I quit and restart, then back to crashing after 30 sec's.
The sample library after all this opens and works OK.
This is very frustrating as all my work is in the library and I am at a standstill.
Help!!

It seems that the problem is something inside that library itself. Make sure you have a back up. Then launch Aperture while holding the command and option keys. In the resulting dialog box read what each option does and choose Repair Database. ( I doubt its permissions, but you could try that too.) This will take a while perhaps hours depending on the size of your library.

Oh, and welcome to the forum

Itunes crash during update all apps or even a few apps at a time in windows

My itunes crashes when I click "update all apps" or even when I just update manually a few apps at a time. Its not related to the version of itunes it seems the issue has occured during the passed few versions. I've tried logging off the store account and relogging in. I've reinstalled itunes. I've uninstalled all apple programs from the pc and itunes and reinstalled everything fresh. I've deleted the library files and let itunes create new ones and the issue still persists. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi dj_alien,
If you are having an issue with iTunes for Windows quitting unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Computer crashed during update and now I can't access iTunes Store!

Hi! I was going to update my iTunes to the latest version, but my computer crashed halfway through. Ever since then, I can't access the iTunes store! I don't know whether trying to update it again would fix the issue?
Also, when choosing to update it brings me to the "download iTunes" page, it looks like the page you go to when you first download iTunes, and I don't want it to just download a new iTunes and not update my current one. I don't want it to affect my library.

Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

Crash during update to 6.1.2 - iTunes won't connect to the phone, stuck in recovery mode.

Latest update for iPhone 5 has put it into restore mode - iTunes doesn't acknowledge its existence. Anything I can do just to bring it back to life?

Are you running the very latest version of iTunes? Mine was quite old, and I think that may have been the problem. I think this because I managed to get my phone working again by borrowing my sister's macbook and using her iTunes (up-to-date) to restore my phone. Then I restored my phone to an iCloud backup. Worked for me, might work for you too.

Internet crashed during update while iPhone was connected to iTunes

And now my phone will not start unless I do a system restore, and not everything I had was backed up as I only had 5 gigs of storage. What are my options??

Possible the iPhone had something to do with it, but I like to make sure the Disk Directory & Permissions are good before any update.
Was that Repair/Verify done when booted from the Install Disc?
You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it then...
Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.
