ITunes crash on startup/iPhone sync (Lion & iTunes 10.6)

Hi all,
All of the sudden I have a problem where itunes started crashing a few moments after startup. I reinstalled iTunes with no change. Then I rebuilt my iTunes library, following which it does not crash on startup. However, now it crashes when I plug in my iPhone 4, also running the latest (5.0.1). This is a problem since I sync two iPhones and an iPad to this account on my Mac. I had been syncing wirelessly (with iCloud backup) but none of the devices appear in iTunes (I assume that's because of the Library rebuild). Now that I write this, I think maybe it had to do with connecting to the iPhones/iPad all along and rebuilding the Library prevents the autoconnect of the wireless devices since they no longer recognize my new Library.
Any suggestions on how to fix without completely wiping out my Mac?

  • ITunes crashes on startup in Mountain Lion?

    iTunes will not open without crashing.
    I recently "upgraded" to OS 10.8.4 in order to add facetime and improve icloud capabilities to my late 2008 iMac (3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I have already tried discarding my playlist and reinstalling the operating system - no luck.  Any suggestions?

    The app starts to open up, but, while accessing Genius results, an error script appears and bootup stops.  Launching directly from Applications did not change anything.

  • ITunes crashes on startup (7.4.3.1 and previous versions on Vista 32Bit)

    Deleting/moving the itunes library files (iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl) makes it work fine which leads me to believe it crashes when loading the playlist. But not always!
    iTunes crashes on startup on my vista 32bit.
    Even after I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 and reinstalled iTunes several times.
    I've also tried reinstalling quicktime and selecting "Repair" to no avail.
    Running it in XP2 compatibility mode doesn't help.
    Disabling Aero doesn't help.
    Whether or not my iPhone is plugged in or not seems to make no difference.
    This is the error msg.

  • ITunes crashes while trying to sync videos during optimizing

    Hello, Folks,
    iTunes crashes while trying to sync during the optimizing phase if there are any videos in the folder.
    If I remove the videos from the folder, the sync succeeds.
    The videos were imported from the iPhone using the Windows 7 import dialog.

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

    I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there.  However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually.  Can I still add stuff onto my two devices?  And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only?  Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices?  Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

    Morning @mb,

  • Can more than 1 iphone sync with itunes?

    can more than 1 iphone sync with itunes?

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

  • ITunes crashing on startup - on a fresh Windows2000 install

    I know there are a few topics about iTunes crashing on startup already, but I really don't know what to make of this situation.
    I just installed Windows 2000 on a new motherboard this morning, and iTunes and Quicktime are the only programs that won't work on it.
    -iTunes actually crashed at the end of its installation, so I knew things would be bad right away.
    -iTunes crashes a half-second after I try starting it.
    -Quicktime opens, but crashes whenever I try to play a video.
    -All my other audio and video programs work, including Media Player and Media Player Classic.
    -No, I don't have a virus checker installed. The only other programs I have installed are .NET framework, DirectX 9, ffdshow, and the K-Lite Codec Pack... This is literally the exact same setup I had on the older motherboard which died and had to replace with this one.
    It's almost as if it's some crazy error where these programs won't work with the new motherboard or sound card (using SiS onboard sound).
    Fresh installs and seperate Quicktime installs don't seem to be working.
    Basically, nothing is working.

    ECS K7S5A   Windows 2000  

    Well, it's working now, and I have no idea why, unfortunately. So I'm not entirely convinced this problem won't happen again.
    I did go and find one peculiarity in that my Date and Time was set to May 2086. Uhhh... Im using the computer with a rather old and blurry TV monitor and 8s look like 0s. I know sometimes things like this will affect programs, though I do remember being able to run iTunes while having my time off before.
    Still, that's the only thing I changed before it started working again. Does anyone know if such an issue has come up before?

  • HT204406 System and iTunes crash everytime since trying to link iTunes  Match - purchased a new computer and still then same issue.  Need support to fix, or cancel the iTunes match - have not been able to use it yet.

    System and iTunes crash everytime I try to enable iTunes Match
    Libary has 20,000 music files and about 50 movies, of which 2/3 are digital copies
    Any ideas, as I would like to use iTunes Match
    Thanks

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

    That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
    Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.
    Regards.
