Itunes 7.1 crashes when attempting to play music

since the upgrade I can't play any music.
I un- and re-installed itunes, no change!
This is only on my home machine, not on any of my work machines.

Pinknoise,
ok,
Then do the steps in KB 93698. Then use the standalone Quicktime installer, linked in the following article, to install Quicktime first, then install iTunes again.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
I recommend you always use the option of saving the installer at the prompt to download it, not the run option. Make a new folder to save it in. Give it the name of the version of the installer you are saving as the name will usually be the same, i.e. itunessetup.exe. (note of where you save it)
Hope this helps,

ITunes 7.1 will crash when attempting to play music

Ever since I've upgraded to version 7.1, iTunes crashes whenever I attempt to play music. This also occurs when I try to listen to a song in iTunes Store.
Thanks for any help!
Dell Dimension 8100 Windows XP Pro

are you still at iTunes 7.1.0.59? to check, go "help > about iTunes", and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
if you've got a 7.1.0.59, try upgrading to 7.1.1.5:
iTunes 7.1.1.5 installer
do you still get the crash when playing music with that in place?

ITunes 7.1 crashes when attempting to play any music

I have installed, uninstalled & re-installed the 7.1 but everytime I try to play anything iTunes crashes with an undefined error. It will sync with iPod, rip music from my CD's and allow me to access the Music Store. It all seems fine, no errors during install, but it crashes everytime I try ti play any media. Everything was working in version prior.

Hey swhitson,
Try the tips in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 and see if they resolve the issue.
If not, try to reinstall using the steps provided in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976

ITunes crashes when attempting to play purchased tracks

Hoping someone can help me here. iTunes crashes when attempting to play tracks purchased from the iTunes store. Music imported from CDs still plays fine. They have played preiously but not since downloading and installing 7.0.2.16. QuickTime is up to date and I only have 1 PC authorised. Help!
Dell Dimension 5100 Windows XP Pro

There's another thread on here that suggested re-installing iTunes. That works for me (in that the videos play), but I have to re-install iTunes every time I want to watch them which is a pain. So if anyone has a more permanent fix...

Only get static when attempting to play music from Apple TV

I only get static when attempting to play music on Apple TV from the cloud. Any thoughts?

iTunes Match is available now. You can sign up from your computer and then, on your Apple TV, you can turn iTunes Match on to listen to your iCloud library from the Apple TV.

Just upgraded to IOS 8.2. Settings app still crashes when attempting to manage music storage.

Just updated to iOS 8.2. Settings app still crashes when attempting to manage music storage.

Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

ITunes 9 keeps crashing when trying to play a song

My iTunes (with the newest update) crashes not everytime I play a song but it does crash alot.
I'll click a song to play and then nothing will happen and all the words will change into just black lines. Also all of the things on the genius sidebar will have a "broken link" picture on them. Sorry it's hard to explain.
Is there anyway to fix this?
It hasn't happend before I update it.

Hmmmm. Head into your Problem reports and solutions control panel. Check your Problem History. Are there problem reports showing up in there which always seem to be recorded when the iTunes crashes happen? (The events may not necessarily be listed as iTunes problem reports ... so check through the entire problem history for reports produced as the same time as the iTunes crashes.)
If you find such problem reports, doubleclick on them to show more information about the problem. Could you please paste copies of the contents of the typical examples of problem reports into a reply here so we can have a look at them?

ITunes crashes when trying to play music

When I try to play music, either by double clicking on a song, or by clicking on it, and then play, it crashes iTunes. I was able to listen to it yesterday, but today I have not.
Although I cant play music, I can still go into Music Store and listen to the 30 sec clips.
I have tried
-Reinstalling iTunes
-Restarting my Computer
-Deleting playlists, songs, etc (By Deleting the stuff in My Music\iTunes)
-Deleting temporary files
-Looking across the internet for possible reasons for my error
After crashing, I get this information:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.4.2 ModName: itunes.exe
ModVer: 6.0.4.2 Offset: 000ce0fa
Thank You for trying to help me, this has been annoying me for quite some time.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that i've also trashed my old iTunes and re-installed, and trashed the prefs.

ITunes crashing when attempting to play video

hi guys! lately, i've been having a major problem with my iTunes. it seems like it crashes everytime i touch the "videos" section (either playing video, editing info of video, etc.), eventually freezing the whole osx and forcing me to shut down my computer via holding down the power button (eeek!). do you guys know where my problem might lie? it is freaking me out because i never thought this kind of thing would happen to a mac! haha any suggestions/help would be GREATLY appreciated! thanks so much!

Usually when you update iTunes it is best to check if there is a QT update too. It appears that when Apple updates iTunes there is some component in QT that also needs to be updated due to changes in the DRM scheme.

ITunes Crashed when attempting to access Music Store

hello. I am using iTunes 6.0.5.20 as of today, and continue to have a problem carried over from the previous version...
when I attempt to access the iTunes music store in the regular manner the program closes without any error messages, the icon remaining in the system tray until i scroll my mouse over it upon which it disappears - the program crashes outright -
i have e-mailed apple support and attempted to use all of their automatically generated solutions in solving this problem including -
upgrading (was never the issue i stay up-to-date generally)
checking my network and program access settings including firewalls etc.
run the repair process
run the un-install re-install process of both itunes and quicktime
i've also tried re-calibrating the itunes library by deleting the appropriate files and having itunes re-determine the included files... nonetheless the problem remains
this is becoming immensely frustrating and to be frank, i work in the recording industry and for all the talk about apple support - i have been immensely frustrated by the lack of personal support whatsoever - i have received only automated responses regarding online documentation... as if i didn't spend horus trying to solve the problem before sending an e-mail at all.
please if anybody has any ideas i'm desperate to solve this.
cheers
elias

Your problem is the same one affecting countless iTunes users, including myself. There seems to be a common factor in that most if not all are using Windows XP Pro and I've noticed that the computer make, when listed, is a Dell. I have been through all the same Apple fixes, waited on hold for support for 1 1/2 hours just to be hung up on. I've had this issue for over a month and it has transcended both iTunes ver 6.0.4 and 6.0.5. Interesting thing, sometimes I get an error message telling me iTunes has to shut down and most of the time, the application closes unexpectantly and I have the same icon in the system tray till I hover my mouse over it. Frustration has turned to anger and a desire to find another product to get music into my and my 2 kids Ipods. I'll keep an eye on your post and let you know if I uncover anything as well.

ITunes 10.6 crashes when trying to play video full screen

I haven't seen this particular issue among others' comments so…
When switching from the normal video window to full screen while watching a podcast in my iTunes library, the program immediately crashes. I've tried several different podcast, starting with the smaller video window, then trying to expand using the opposing diagonal arrows symbol in the bottom right corner. The result has been the same. As soon as I click on that the window screen goes black, and iTunes shuts down.
I'm on a MacBook Pro 4,1 using OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6 (40).
Meanwhile, hope someone is working on the problem with the clickable scroll bars being inoperable.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

IPod crashes when attempting to play Logic songs

I am quite new at Logic and have two questions:
1
When I bounce a Logic project to iTunes, I have no problem listening to the song on my computer - in iTunes. But when i sync my iPod and then click on the song there, the iPod 'crashes' (needs rebooting) - and when it's ready again, nearly all the battery power has gone.
I have tried most of the options when bouncing ... aiff, wave, mp3, m4p etc ... all of which give the same result.
2
How come the 2,000 page Logic manuals - as far as I know - never touches upon the subject of mastering?

Sounds like a F^&*ed up iPod. IMO.
2

Because Logic is mainly used to create music / post production. Not so much for mastering. The guys who created Logic are not mastering engineers..but musicians.
If you want to master with Logic, you CAN. Go get a good book on mastering... there's a few out there.

Error message when attempting to play music in Itunes

I posted this as a reply in another thread, but was asked to repost in a separate thread.
=========================================================================
I recently bought an external hard drive and I thought I had moved all of my music to the external HD.
But I think the problem started when I was out of town and I took my computer but not my ex HD. I added some songs to my library and made the mistake of connecting my ipod to my computer.
My problem is that when I open Itunes and click on a song, a little exclamation mark appears beside the song title and I get an error message that says, "The song "xxxx" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
When I click yes, I'm taken to a window where I can choose the ex hard drive and "locate" the song. The problem is, I've already done this once for the over 2000 songs in my library. It took 2 days to finish. I don't understand why it keeps asking me to do it again. Nothing has changed since the last time.
I've also tried the following solutions:
1) downloaded idump and icopytrans programs to copy music from my ipod to my computer's itunes.
2) uninstalled and reinstalled itunes
3)used "add folder to library" command to add each song and artist to itunes.
Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem but only with songs within the playlist. Please advise.

"Itunes has stopped working" when attempting to play purchased video

I have purchased multiple episodes of The Vampire Diaries from Itunes, to which I have already watched. But when I went back to watch them again, it gave me the error "itunes has stopped working". To which, itunes started up again. I tried to click it again, and got the same error message. I have a windows vista. and this problem is really making me mad. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am also having this problem and from the looks of it I'm going to have to sit back(unfortunatly) for an answere to get back to me.
I feel the same frustration as you Krazybald, I've been wanting all day to watch a movie from my purchased movies and cannot.
