ITunes causes OS X to crash...

Was in iTunes and downloading some purchases when a panel appeared and told me that I must "restart my computer" - cursor was a beachball and the only "key" that would do anything was the power button.
Restarted and other apps work fine....if I launch iTunes, same thing all over again. I have tried it several times to be sure. Sent error report each time.
What can I do? Seems that there is no direct line to Apple for this issue...so I am starting here.

Time Machine or iTunes causes Photoshop CS4 to crash?

My husband and I both have identical 20" iMacs (see my signature). He uses Photoshop CS4 daily and Photoshop will crash for no apparent reason we can find and he's lost a lot of work over the past couple of months. He saves his work a lot but this shouldn't be happening in the first place.
I've searched the forums and haven't found this particular problem discussed. The crashes seem to happen most often when either Time Machine is running a backup or when iTunes is open. There's no particular Photoshop command that he's using that seems to cause the problem. The crashes can also happen when neither iTunes nor Time Machine is running but seem to happen more often when one or the other or both are running.
Can someone point me in the direction I need to look to solve this? It's a really annoying problem. I'm going to post this to the Adobe forums too.
Thanks
Kim

It sounds like a coincidence, since it's not consistent with either TM or iTunes.
He should have "Crash Logs" for Photoshop that may contain a clue.
Use the Console app on his Mac (in the Applications/Utilities folder).
When it starts, click +*Show Log List+* in the toolbar, then navigate in the sidebar that opens up to the "Crash Reporter" folders (there may be 2 or more of them). Find the most recent for Photoshop. Copy and post the couple of pages of it in a new thread in the +Using Leopard+ forum, as you'll be likely to find more Photoshop users and folks who can read crash logs there, and perhaps on the Adobe forums as well.

Be warned: the updated itunes causes my laptop to crash

yes, the update to itunes 5.0 causes crashes too...install wif caution

Just to add a positive comment, I had no problems on my Mac with iTunes 5.0
Just a small point, this board is for iPod discussions, it may be better if you post iTunes comments in the iTunes for Windows area.

HT203477 New Itunes causes crashing problems with FCP X

Since I uptdated my OS X and iTunes, I am experiencing several crashes of my Imac 27. Anyone has the some problems ? Any solutions ?

Hi Tom,
My whole computer is crashing and when I run Techtools pro 7 to repair permissions, there are so many files of the latest version of iTunes that are detected to be repaired.
I am also using Bitdefender as antivirus. Can Bitdefender be the cause ?
Most likely. These "antiviruses" often cause more harm than they prevent.

Digital booklet from iTunes causing Preview to crash

I was conflicted about whether to put this question in the iTunes for Mac or the Mountain Lion community, but, as you can see, I've settled on Mountain Lion because I believe iTunes is not causing the problem.
I downloaded "Electric Ladyland" from iTunes the other day and received a digital booklet with the album. When I double-clicked the booklet in iTunes, Preview would open up (as it does with any of the other digital booklets I have stored in iTunes) and display the first or the second page of the PDF. After swiping either left or right to view the previous or the next page, though, Preview would completely shut down, necesitating a force quit every time.
Most concerning to me is the fact that every time I tried opening this PDF in Preview my whole Mac would slow down significantly and, according to iStat Menus and the Activity Monitor, my memory and CPU usage would spike. Prior to clicking the booklet, my Mac would normally be using less than 2 of its 4 GB of memory and the CPU would be almost completely idle, with no individual program using up more than 30% of its processing power at any point in time. While this particular PDF was open in Preview my memory usage would jump to the full 4 GB and Activity Monitor was reporting that Preview was using almost "200%" of my CPU.
Interestingly enough, I can open this PDF with Adobe Reader and am able to view every page just fine. None of my other digital booklets or other PDFs outside of iTunes cause Preview to crash like this, so I think it must be an issue between this specific file and Preview.
I tried deleting and re-downloading the file (I had to contact iTunes support so they could re-upload the booklet to my account) and that did nothing; the booklet still caused the same problems. The support staff member I was emailing back and forth with had no suggestions for me. She forwarded me to an AppleCare advisor who also had no idea what the problem might be. (He actually forwarded me back to iTunes support!)
Anyone else experienced this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Copy the PDF you're having problems with to the Public folder in your home folder.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. You'll need to navigate in the Finder to the Users folder, then to the home folder of your regular login account, and then to the Public folder, where you'll find the file you copied. Try to open it in Preview. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. You can also delete the copy of the PDF.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

ITunes visualizer causes Mac Mini to crash

When I run iTunes visualizer on full screen, after a while (about an hour into playing) it causes my whole system to crash. I thought it was the mac mini at first (because a friend of mine ran his macbook pro with itunes visualizer and it never crashed for 8 hours) so i got it exchanged for a new mac mini, but the new one also crashed while running iTunes visualizer for a while.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, does anyone know how to fix this situation? I feel like it is a mac mini problem, but it could also be itunes....?
Please help!
Thanks
James

You're not alone Cupfish, I have the same problem - Using the latest Mac Mini and latest iTunes!
I can sometimes rectify it by toggling visualizer on and off using the keyboard, but half the time it is completely locked up and requires a restart.
Will try and do a bit of digging into the problem myself, let us know how you get on.

IPod/iTunes causes Vista to crash

Plugging my iPod in causes my OS to crash. I really want to listen to my iPod, something I haven't been able to do since I bought this new laptop a few weeks ago. Since Apple doesn't seem willing to support Vista in a timely manner, I wonder if there are other Vista users who have found work-arounds for this? (My iPod is fine if I plug it into another computer)
I really want a solution. Any help? Should I just switch to Ubuntu?

I have the same thing. as soon as i plug in the iPod, I get the "blue screen of death" which causes the computer to jump into safe mode. My iPod is not the problem, and the sync caused my iPod to erase all the music on it. Now I have a useless hard drive with a click wheel that I cannot put anything on!

You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of the iTunes screen - if you have iTunes11 then control-B should get the menus to show.

My iPod is Causing my PC to crash when I plug the iPod Touch in.

I've plugged my iPod Touch into my laptop (USB) port and it immediately caused my laptop to crash.
I allowed the PC to reboot and tried again in a different port with the same results.
Any suggestions as what may be the problem.
Never had a hint before that this might happen.
The iPod is only 2 months old.
Thanks.

Thanks again for your interest in my problem AndrewT.
Ok you mentioned three things:
1. Uninstalling the ACER camera.
2. latest version of iTunes and
3. Printer.
Regarding the uninstalling the camera - I haven't done that but worth a try. When I initially plug the iPod in it comes up as a camera (not as an iPod as it should do). I don't use the camera a lot so maybe thats the way to try and see what happens.
Regarding the latest version of iTunes - yes I've got that no problem and regarding the printer - seldom used and hasn't been used since well before this problem came about.
I'm getting more convinced that its a Microsoft Update that's causing it. I read somewhere about this but can't remember where now.
I had to again reload all the software because of other problems i.e. back to original recovery, so while loading the new software I tried the iPod touch and yes it worked. However, with all reloading of sofware there was the usual updating and after loading a number of these updates together I tried again and as expected the blue screen again.
Needless to say I'm rather frustrated at this outcome but won't give up as yet.
Thanks for your continued interest. Maybe between us we'll get it solved. It doesn't appear that others have this problem and Apple Support have never heard of it.

I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

ITunes causing VisualStudio 2005 Debugger to complain

I don't know if this is the right place to post this problem since it's the first time I post on this forum (even if probably I'm going to post more soon since I'm buying a MacBook in a few months :)).
But I'm a .NET developer and I listen to iTunes while programming.
Yesterday I got a weird problem: everytime I tried to insert a char on a textbox in a winform while in debug mode the Debugger Assistant complaining about some strange dll loading in the managed app domain.
I wrote a post with a detailed explanation of the problem, also linking what the debugger team at MS discovered about the problem:
"We noticed that iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll is causing the LoaderLock MDA to fire. The most likely reason is that the DLL entry point for this DLL is doing some non-trivial work which causes managed code to run."
http://codeclimber.net.nz/archive/2007/05/09/iTunes-causing-VS-to-throw-LoaderLo ck-exception.aspx
I also think the problem is only related to Vista and not XP, but not really sure.
If someone of the Apple team read this forum, I'll be more than happy to help them solve the bug.
Simo
PS: sorry for the cross post

Here is some additional info about the ICHR8 Intel RAID Chipset and Western Digital SATA Gen 2 Drives in RAID Array.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4368779#4368779
Custom Intel based Generic PC Windows XP Pro 750GB NAS Storage, DVDRW DL, 5th Gen 80GB iPod, 2nd Gen 8GB Nano (Both Black)
I'm running a dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2 as the primary OS, Vista RC1 on separate partition. I had Vista Ultimate (RC1) Release Candidate 1, a pre-release version of Vista up and running with iTunes version 7.1.1. Updating My Library, when system crashed and trashed my array.
I was running 2 400GB WD's when my RAID 1 erred. The array corrupted and after limping through several array rebuilds and Windows repairs, Win XP finally died and was unrecoverable.
I originally suspected an issue with Vista & iTunes, especially since I was running a pre-release version of Vista then I remembered reading a recent WD Support issue about some newer WD SATA Gen 2 drives failing in RAID arrays.
To make a long story short, thank God for my back-up NAS Drives, I lost my array. Traced the problem to a Raid compatibility issue with the WD drives running in full SATA ATA Gen 2 transfer rate mode and the Intel ICHR8 SATA RAID Controller. They don't play nice together when stressed with large file transfers. Replaced WD's with two Seagate 750's in RAID 1, running full SATA Gen 2 mode and have had no problems since.
Check out WD's Support forums, if you have newer WD's I'll bet it's a SATA RAID / Drive issue more than iTunes and Vista.

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash. Tried importing photo from an iPhone 4/ Panasonic DMC-FX50 via USB and SD card but without success. However, importing video from a Flip Mino HD is ok. Can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong

Have you tried a reset by holding the power and home buttons for ten seconds until the apple appears?
Since it's multiple different import devices not working with the CCK, it appears to be on the iPad side...
If the reset doesn't help, try a restore from within iTunes on the computer.

HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

HELP" error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes causing Blue Screen of Death

Okay, I am running Vista, as it was my only option at the computer store. At random times in iTunes it will freeze and cause the blue screen of death. This is a serious problem for me because I have poured a couple hundred dollars into iTunes and now I can't even consistently get the stuff I bought because it may cause my system to crash. I have tried the latest version of iTunes, and the 7.2 version, and they both cause the same problem.
Thanks

I had the same problem last night. This started when I began downloading podcasts to my iPhone. Received the blue screen when iTunes began to sync with the iPhone. I'm going to try removing the podcast subscriptions and see if the blue screens stop. I have been running other basic Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and standard HP software with no problems until this occurred. I have not had any other blue screens since I bought the HP in June.
As a separate issues, I can not play any podcasts on iTunes for more than a couple a seconds. iTunes terminates prematurely. I'm using the latest iTunes software.
