ITunes causes random reboot

Ever since I built my new machine, iTunes has caused my computer to reboot. I can play music in other ways without getting a reboot (e.g. internet radio through pandora.com). I can also play memory demanding video games(e.g. FEAR, Supreme Commander) for hours without any reboot. Is this a hardware problem, or something else? Opening iTunes is fine, it is just while I'm trying to play music. After anywhere from 0-45 minutes, the computer will reboot. I have experienced no other problems with my machine while not playing music with iTunes. Any ideas?
Some specs:
Motherboard: DFI Infinity 975 X/G
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6600
Video Card: ATI x1900xt

I was posting on other forums as well, and a guy at www.windowsforum.org had the solution. If you uninstall Quicktime, and then install it with the standalone quicktime installer, it should work. It's a problem with quicktime when it is installed with the itunes installer.

Mac OS X 10.8.3 causes random reboots.

I bought my MacBook Pro in October 2007 (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). After updating to 10.8.3, my computer randomly re-boots. I can also provoke it by opening a page with a couple flash videos or other processor intensive content. My computer became esentially unusable since the update. I did re-install everything and it didn't fix the problem. I can boot from an external harddrive that has an oder version of OS X and everything is fine. What can I do, there seems to be no way of downgrading to OS X 10.8.3.

When you say you performed a reinstall, did you install the Combo version or the regular 10.8.3 update ? You might consider installing the 10.8.3 Combo version on top of your 10.8.3 installation. Sometimes when an instlal doesn't completely take, this will help. You can get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640 .
You might also consider clearing all of your cache flies. In theory it shouldn't matter. But, in some cases it might help. Certainly won't hurt.

K7T TURBO 2 - RANDOM REBOOT PROBS

I am just about ready to give up oin this mobo. My PC reboots RANDOMLY without warning with my KT7 Turbo 2 Mobo. I have already replaced the following components:
- Power Supply (Enermax 350W)
- RAM (Micron)
- Video Card (Radeon 8500)
- CPU (AMD 1800XP)
Running latest BIOS + VIA Drivers. Reinstalled XP Pro O/S twice. System runs pretty cool @ 32C and CPU @ 45 on full load. Still the problem occurns, the computer will run for whole day no problem, then it will reboot 5 times the next day. No specific occurance, sometimes during games sometimes just browsing the web. It is driving me nuts! Anyone know of a BIOS setting or sometihing that may cause random reboots ? I've heard of over heating (not present) bad ram (replaced) bad power supply (replaced) even replaced the CPU ! LOL. Me thinks it's back to ASUS, more money but damn rock hard stability.

i got the same probs with the same motherboard...ms.6330...pc reboot by itself and can't find a solution....try to change power supply...try to disconnect reset button from motherboard....problem is still here....
shall i learn some basic voodoo?
kind regards from france

Neo 3 Platinum random reboots

Hi, I have an old build as stated above that I sold to my son in law. It has been working fine for about three years except the cheap power supply died about a year ago (it came with the box) so I replaced it with a seasonic. Anyway, it recently has started to randomly reboot itself once or twice a day. It's hard to believe it is the power supply. If it was wouldn't it just turn off and not reboot? I haven't had a chance to actually look at it yet but was wondering if anyone knew what would cause random reboots. It isn't overclocked. Thanks

PSU can also be blamed for random restarts. as the PSU heats up, the efficiency goes down and this my cause your system not to receive enough power, thus shutting down or restarting. i would suggest to test with a different PSU if all the memtests are OK and the system temps are within normal ranges.

My iPad mini randomly reboots itself. I have already connected it to iTunes and reset/ restored the device. Any suggestions?

Recovery Mode is your last resort per the instructions here. Also, read this.
If still no joy, make an appointment with the resident "Genius" at the closest Apple Store.

3750-24T-L randomly reboots without a cause

We have a WS-C3750X-24T-L switch that has 2 300W power supplies installed that is randomly rebooting its self about once a week. It is connected to a UPS, we have confirmed that the UPS and line power have not been interrupted at any time when the switch restarts. The logs show the switch was: Last reset from power-on. We have flipped the supplies positions in the switch and it still reboots. I have attached the output from running show tech.
Any ideas what may be going on?

Hi,
First off, I am trying to discard bug CSCtw50892, in which the switch shows "power-on" no matter what the actual cause is.
If there is a crash or anything, this bug does not allow us see the actual last reset reason.
Could you reload the switch via console out of business hours?
Switch#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm] <<< (press enter)
Thereafter, you should see the following when typing "show ver"
Router uptime is 3 days, 18 hours, 39 minutes
System restarted by [reload cause]
System restarted by reload or system returned to ROM by reload
Let me go through the show tech and get back to you.
Kind regards,
- Ed

Z10 Random reboot a possible cause.

I also am having that seemingly random rebooting; till a pattern emerged. With out my clip-on case and with the portable one that forms into a stand I noticed that every type the phone hit something hard on the back panel it reset. Without the case, I started tapping with a small hard object and whenever I hit where under the battery is located, the phone rebooted every time. Replaced the battery, and so far, the problem has gone away. Could be because it is a new battery (connector do not the play that a battery that has been inserted many times has) or because it is a different battery or some other reason but whatever, the battery seems to be a part or all of the problem.
Running OS 10.1.0.4181
STL 100-3

That's been reported over on the Crackberry site also. It appears that some batteries and/or devices don't fit well together. Simply placing some folded paper or something similar, under the battery to keep it pushed snug up against the contacts fixed the problem for some people.
I was lucky, I guess, just had a few reboots (AT&T) and since the 10.1 update 3 weeks or more ago, I've had no problems at all with reboots.

Early 2011 MBP 13 random reboots (no Kernel Panic logged)

Hi,
Problem Description:
My MacBook Pro randomly reboots at least 1-2 times a day. I cannot find a kernel log because each restart is a double one.
Let me explain the problem further : 1. Im doing something (nothing specific..no specific app) on the mac 2. The screen freezes and becomes unresponsive ( I know a reboot is coming)
3. I get the gray screen which says "Your computer restarted because of a problem..." ...this is followed by the white screen with the apple sign..it loads for a few seconds and it reboots AGAIN..this time i hear the chime...loads into the OS normally ...works until i either shut it down / put it to sleep / another random restart (varies from 1 hour to 6 hours )
Things I've tried :
SMC / PRAM reset
Erase Drive and TimeMachine Restore
Apple Hardware Tests / Diagnostics all pass
Verify / Repair permissions / disk (did this a million times)
Reindexed Spotlight
Erased Drive and did a clean install and MIGRATED files from TimeMachine
Safe Mode ( THIS did not have random reboots...also fyi ..i didn't try this for long)
Logs Data:
Since I don't have the .panic files. I am pasting a chunk of the log before and after the PROBLEM.

ITunes resets randomly and loses all my media

I've recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and it seems every time I close the program and later reopen it, it resets and loses all of my media (music, tv shows, playlists, etc.). I am greeted by the welcome to iTunes message and am asked to scan for media. Needless to say, doing this is rather annoying as it takes about 10 minutes to add the 100 GB of music and process the album artwork and genious data. iTunes is however unable to recover any playlist data, which, I assume, is now gone forever. I have already tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes. Are there any fixes for this problem out there, or am I the only one experiencing this problem?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What you describe is absolutely not normal. Sometimes a BB will randomly reboot itself, but it is very unusual for that to cause any data wipe whatsoever. Something is definitely wrong there.
There are things you can try on your own (e.g., a clean OS reload, or a "bare bones" OS reload and then a slow reload of additional things, etc.), but if you don't want to deal with it (and, being new, if I were you I'd not want to deal with it!), then you definitely should take it in for warranty evaluation.
Good luck!

[nforce] K7N2 Delta, having massive lock-ups / random reboots.

Hi all, it's been a while since I last needed your wisdom. Anyway, a couple of days ago my machine began to randomly reboot on me, so I went about trying to figure out what is causing the problem. I've cycled out my PSU, my drives, changed BIOS settings, so on and so forth, and it's still happening. System Specs follow:
MSI K7N2 Delta Mobo
Athlon 2800+ Processor
512 x 2 Kingston ValuRAM PC3200
Generic PSU : 3.3v : 28a, 5v: 30a
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 5950 Ultra 256 MB
Seagate 200GB 7200 RPM Hard drive
Lite-on DVD/CDRW Combo burner
Any ideas? I've been dismantling this thing and rebuilding it over and over for about a week now, and nothing has changed. I get the reboots all the time, graphic-intensive and not. I've even had the machine freeze up in the BIOS menu before. Help me please!!!

Alright, thanks a lot guys for all your help!
Hi there..
I'm not sure if you have fixed the problem or not.....but i have the same board and my pc reboot maybe one or two times a day...
and i'm sure it is my Ram, and i also use 2x512mb Kingston Value pc3200
i have tried with 2x512mb crucial pc3200 from my other pc and then there is no problem...
ps. I haven't been writing in english for a long time.

Yosemite random reboots on macbook mid 2012

Well I've read thoroughly all the posts related to this kind of issue and it seems it affects a wide range of devices. Either mac minis or 2011 macbooks and so on.
I would like to explain my experience and ask for any advice available. I am experienced with computers and OS's, even though I would not call myself an expert, but as an engineer I possess a certain amount of knowledge. So there it goes.
TL;DR at the bottom
Macbook pro mid 2012 13". Default 4gb memory installed, I added a Samsung EVO 830 SSD in 2012 when I bought it, never had any problems with it.
After a couple of weeks after upgrading to yosemite (november '14) I started noticing the macbook resting on login screen after a reboot. No crash report, no message visible of any reason. As I was installing some special software to do some work related to a lab I was working at the time, I thought it was software related. MS Word and Excel often crashed and I had a couple of problems with other programs. Then it started doing it while I was working, so I decided to check things out. The system freezed for some seconds - 1-2 minutes and proceeded to reboot. Sometimes a hard reset had to be performed.
I decided to perform different installations with different options in order to identify the problem:
Reinstall Yosemite from recovery mode: same result, random reboot, no specific app in use, either Xcode, Safari, or just resting idle with just finder.
Format disk and install yosemite applying time machine backup: same result, random reboot, no specific app, and so on.
Format disk and clean install, manually installing the same main software installed previously: same result, random freezes and reboots.
Format disk and clean install, manually installing essential apps (mac app store only): same result, exactly the same result.
Always with the latest OS version available, and with TRIM enabled and disabled, to discard issues with it. PRAM and SMC resets all along.
During all the testing, the console has not shown any crash report or kernel panic related to the event. After every reboot, console would not show anything special before the boot_time line.
After looking for solutions on different forums, I noticed a pattern on some cases that implied a wake on lan or a handoff, or wifi issue. I tested on different networks, disabled and enabled all options commented, with no effect.
Entering
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq 'n Cause: -' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'
on terminal 90% of the time returned errors -128, and some -112 or -2, but they would not be logged to every freeze, just some of them. By the time the
As they may indicate a hardware error, I decided to proceed with the warranty.I bought the Applecare extension when I bought the computer (expiring this summer) so I talked to Applecare about the issue. As there is not an official Apple Store in my town they pointed me to an ASP in my city. They noted all the issues I commented above, gave me a case number to deliver to the ASP so they would have all the information.
I brought the computer to the ASP, gave them the case number (which they totally ignored, the employee seemed oblivious to what a "case number" was) and expected them to find the error. As I noticed the freeze could be sometimes forced via waking up the laptop, I made them a demo. I had ran already the apple hardware test and any hardware tests I was aware of. Etrecheck came out without issues or anything worth mentioning, so I thought they might have specific apple tools to identify hardware error.
They told me they could not find any error on the computer, but that they found errors in the SSD, swapped it with one of theirs to test and no issues found. Good, I thought, at least they found the issue even though all tests run on the SSD by me did not show any trace of it. They charged me 25€ for the service as the SSD was not part of the original computer. As I had been experiencing issues for some time I did not care. I asked them for some kind of report to check the error to provide to the SSD manufacturer, Samsung, as they offer 3-year warranty on SSD's and it had not yet expired. The report said "errors in disk", plain and simple, I asked to talk to the technician for extra info, but he could not remember if it was "corrupted sectors" or something else.
Contacted Samsung, sent my SSD in, and in 4 days I had a new (refurb maybe) SSD same model same size at my door. During those 4 days I reinstalled my old original HDD. As it had a few miles on it (using it as external disk) it was really slow and sometimes it would freeze but the whole system was always dragging, so it could be also failing. Worth mentioning that when swapping disks I noticed the ASP had messed up the position of the small screws on the back of the computer. They did not seem to know there are 4 shouldered screws and 3 regular ones.
I put the new or refurb SSD in, clean install and do some testings. First day everything ok. Proceed to install software. Seems ok. After a couple of days the first freeze and reboot appears. After a couple of PRAM and SMC zaps, events seem to be reduced to a minimum. Even though the system is not completely stable, and I am not quite satisfied with the uncertainty of the freezes (in the middle of a presentation is not the best moment to have one), as it's freezing 1-3 times per week I consider it reasonable.
Time goes on, freezes start to appear again. Sometimes while booting, sometimes on login screen, sometimes on heavy usage sometimes on idle. I still follow all threads related to similar issues, in case a fix appears. All sleep / wake / wifi on - off on sleep tests have been performed.
Now the issue seems to be reduced to two kind of events: random freezes and reboots, and errors while booting. None, and I mean zero of the reboots or freezes has ever had a .crash or any system diagnostic reports related to the hour or even date when the freezes took place. EVER.
While booting, it crashes and I have to hard reset 2-3 times. When freezing, 30% of the time it does not reboot, and gets warmer than idle state but cooler than under heavy load.
I usually zap pram and smc and then it boots normally. But I should not have to be doing that every time I turn it on.
I know its a long post, but it's something I have been following for 5 months now. It's not that I am unaware of different options to solve it. Zapping seems to be the way to go, but still the random freezes interrupt workflow and provoke loss of data.
TL;DR: same freeze and reboots as other people. No discrete GPU to relate it to. Default memory installed, SSD model working on 10.8 and 10.9 with zero issues. All software installation combinations tested. ZERO crash reports on console related to the hour or date of the events. Shutdown causes negative codes, ASP cannot find the issue.
Considering bringing it to Genius Bar, but undermines the purpose of a ASP and if they got the same tools they will not find the issue either.
Appelcare expires in June. Any options I am unaware of? I would relate it to the specific model of SSD under Yosemite if I was the only one experiencing freezes and reboots, which I am not.
Thanks you

Boot into Safe Mode. If the problem ceases then you need to remove Virtual Box and the software that installed com.bluecoat.kext.bckd 4.4.1f20. If this does not fix the problem then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

IPad 2 16GB iOS 5.1.1 Randomly reboots???

I just got an ipad 2 16GB, brand new I installed the IOS 5.1.1 right when I opened it up. But ever since I turned it on it is now randomly rebooting itself. For no reason, just crashes and then shows the apple sign? What should I do?

First thing I would try is to do a restart of your own, Hold the home button down and at the same time hold down the power button. Wait for the screen to go black and the Apple logo to appear and in a few minutes it should restart.
If you have already done this I would do a reload of the OS from iTunes.
If that doesn't work I would take it to Apple and have them do a refresh of the OS or replace it if there is a hardware problem.
Good luck.

ITunes freezes randomly when updating 60Gb Video

Had a 40Gb Photo. Now have new 60Gb Video. Have updated iTunes software. Have update iPod software. When I plug in to load songs and pictures, iTunes will randomly freeze up. Have left it as long as 6 hours in case it was working in the background. In force quit,iTunes says 'Not Responding'. Have to hard-remove, as force-quit will not unlock the computer. This is random, it has loaded 18 (out of 4,000), or 256, or 857, or any other number. Does not seem to lock up on any particular song. Have changed setup and tried to load in small numbers, it seems to work for music (though this is not optimum or correct). Won't work with pictures. If it freezes, all the pictures that were previously loaded in small numbers are lost.
Someone suggested removing the preferences, but I can't find out how .

I had the same problem back at xmastime and I finally found that a plug-in called "multi plugin" which was installed by "evil lyrics" was causing the itunes crashes. It only crashed when syncing with the ipod. This was when the ipod was new so it was trying to load everything but itunes would crash after 5 or 10 minutes of syncing.
I got rid of it by uninstalling itunes, deleting the itunes program directory that was left behind, and reinstalling itunes. Once I did that everything worked fine.

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.

Update 8.0.1 of iTunes causes internet to crash

Hello,
I succesfully installed the update 8.0.1 of iTunes (previous version: 8.0).
(I work with a Winods Xp Sp3 with all updates installed)
But the update caused my internet connection to crash.
I rebooted my system and used 'system recovery' (utility of Windows Xp) of 2 days ago.
This way, the update of iTunes was uninstalled. But since I already opened my 8.0.1 version of iTunes once (before rebooting), he updated my library. I couldn't open the previous version 8.0 since my library was already changed/updated with the 8.0.1 version.
So now I can't instal the 8.0.1 version or I have no internet connection, and my 8.0 version will not open since he can interpretate my library.
Does anyone have an idea about fixing this?
Or does anyone of apple now what to do best?
Thanks for everyone can can help me and other users with the same problem!

In your iTunes folder should be a folder labeled 'Previous ....' - in there you will find a copy of your previous iTunes library file - the one from iTunes 7.x before the upgrade to iTunes 8. Replace your Library file with that and see what happens.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the ipod - key the keys down until the iPod is listed under the Devices list in iTunes.
To your second question - yes you can back load load the tunes from your iPod back to the Mac - but you need some software to do this:
