ITunes crash when trying to sync music on Windows 7

I have an 80-GB iPod classic that I sync with iTunes. I downloaded the 64bit version of the installer and it's been working fine until recently. When I try and sync my iPod to my library, iTunes freezes, and then when I close it it won't open unless I restart my computer. Has anyone else had this problem?

A large amount of Other usually indicates a corrupt files on your iPod. The only way to clear out this large amount of Other is to restore your iPod in iTunes.

ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Itunes crashes when trying to sync Contacts

My itunes crashes when it tries to sync contacts with Outlook. I cannot even select the Contacts tab to change the settings. When I click the Contacts tab, itunes crashes. Has anyone experienced this problem?

I'm experiencing the same problem.
A temporary fix is to open iTunes (without the iPod cabled into the computer.) Go to "Edit Preferences," then "Devices," and check the block that says "Disable automatic syncing..."
Then, attach the iPod USB cable. The iPod settings will all show up, but the iPod won't sync, and iTunes won't crash. You can then uncheck the block under the Contacts tab that says "Sync Contacts." (iTunes will ask you whether you want to save the existing contacts.)
Go back and uncheck the Disable automatic sync command. Tell iTunes to sync the iPod, and there shouldn't be an iTunes crash.
Admittedly, this is a bandaid until something better shows up. My suspicion is that it's a problem that originates with Outlook, and not iTunes.

ITunes crashing when trying to sync to apple iPhone4

When attempting to sync new iPhone 4 with my iTunes it crashes with no error message I've deleted all songs apart from purchased and ringtones etc but still crashes when attempting to sync. Any suggestions or ideas would be gratefully recieved. thankyou.

Sure thing. I got Windows 7 'cos I'm MS partner in business. Not that I like it too much.
I just though that someone could experience similar issue. If not than I'll wait until official release and we'll see. It is strange though. All coms in firewall and antivir are open for iTunes, it sees Apple TV just fine, and everything is peachy until I try to sync.

Itunes crashes when trying to transfer music

I have been having problems with my new 160gb ipod classic and transferring songs from itunes. I have had no problems with it verifying the ipod. When I try to transfer songs it will just crash for no reason and blue screen my computer. I've just updated my computer to Windows 7 and installed itunes 9.2, my previous Windows Vista was using 9.0 and I had no problems. Is anyone else having crashing issues when trying to transfer songs? The only way I have been able to get my songs onto the Ipod is doing it 2-3 songs at a time and even then it will still crash eventually. This is taking forever to import my cds onto my boyfriends new Ipod. I have yet to try my own Ipod classic to see if that has problems as well.

Did You try downgrading iTunes to older version ? I can see that others have had problems with new version of iTunes. If that fails, try to select playlists in iTunes to sync one by one ( manually of course ).

ITunes crashes when trying to sync iPad and iPhone to Macbook Air

I would like to back up iPhone and iPad. Every time I connect either device to my Macbook Air, iTunes crashes and I have to force quit.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

ITunes crashes when trying to sync

I've just updated iTunes to the new 9.2.0.61 version, and have not been able to sync since.
Apart from the backup taking so long time, that I haven't let it finish for the last 4 months, iTunes either crashes or gives an errormessage, stating that the iphone has been disconnected once it starts syncing podcasts (I don't have any music stored on the phone).
I've tried reinstalling iTunes, restarting the computer, running diagnostics in iTunes and searching this forum - but no luck.
Does anyone have similar problems?

Thank you for the swift reply, it solved the "unable to sync podcast" part of the problem, but the error message still occurs...
oh well, I suppose I'll just have to ignore it and hope they fix the problem in a later update. At least I can load new podcasts onto the phone now

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 crashes when trying to sync photos, I have called Apple suport and I have erased and reloaded itunes, seemed to work better but then crashed again in the middle of sync photos saying ' IPAD cannot be synchronized. The file required cannot be found'

This seems to be a common problem...can anyone help?

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

When trying to sync music, message says my device is synced with another library.

when trying to sync music, message says my device is synced with another library? what other library? my laptop crashed and i had it wiped clean. i redownloaded itunes. all my apps are there, my music is not.

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.
