Itunes crashed during a restore, now won't open. Reinstalling didn't work and I can't unistall or I will lose my backup.

Hi, I've been having issues with my 4s freezing and restarting itself after I updated, so I brought it to an apple store. I was told I have to restore it, and since I didn't have enough space on icloud for a full backup I took it home to do it. I don't sync my device with my computer because it's a POS, so I'm using my partner's. I installed itunes, then had to uninstall and reinstall it because it kept crashing when I opened it. After the reinstall it worked, and I went through the restore until itunes crashed either right after the restore or right at the end of the restore. Now itunes crashes as soon as I try to boot it up. I tried running the installation again to repair itunes but it still crashes. I can't uninstall itunes because I don't want to lose my backup. Is there a way to fix itunes without losing my backup? Thank you. I would call apple but I can't :(

Crashed during conform clip, now won't open compound clips!

I have a project where I went inside a compound clip to conform the clip speed (it was previously retimed but shouldn't have been).
At this point FCP X crashed. After restarting now I cannot open any compound clips in a timeline.
This is deadly. I assume the project file got broken during the crash somehow.
Is there any kind of autosave vault so I can rescue a previous version before it crashed?

Yep. This happend to us last week. This is what you're going to need to do to get the cc back.
Create a new project. Drag the compound clip in question into it from your event browser. Break the compound apart and you should be ok. This will incur crashes at each step, but if you're patient you'll get it back.
Did you start this project in 10.0.7 and update the project a few weeks back? Sometimes little quirks like this happen when you update when you're in the middle of a project. It's no consolation, I know, but I think that is where it's coming from.
Please let us know if this works...
Thanks. Will try that. Total pain as nearly a hundred compound clips in this project that were created to solve a different problem!
Yes project started in 10.0.7 and updated to 10.0.8 yesterday.

hi cengl!
let's try heading to the itunes and ipod software download pages and downloading the update from there:
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
Ipod Updater Installer
i notice that you're running McAfee. if you run into an odd problem where you can't see the download controls (there's a blank blue box on the itunes download page, for example), try:
iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
keep us posted.

Do as the screen shows - connect the iPhone to the computer you usually sync with and use
iTunes on that computer to restore the iPhone.

ITunes crashed during transfer purchases now says This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device

The problem that have started when I was going to sync my iPhone 4 with current iTunes running on 64bit Windows 7.
I started iTunes and plugged in my iPhone.
All looked good and the iPhone came up as the device as it should have.
Next I wanted to transfer purchases prior to syncing so I started the Transfer Purchases process.
iTunes stopped working during the Transfer Purchases process
Now when I plug in my iPhone iTunes takes me to the “setup your iPhone” screen and displays “This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device” and only allows me to restore and old backup or setup as new.
Obviously some files were not closed properly when iTunes crashed during the transfer purchases process, how can I cleanup iTunes so that it will allow me to backup and sync my phone.
I am a software developer and am sure that a fix is not in the menu options What I am saying is that I can easily remove or edit corrupt files to get it working.
Thanks, Mike

The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

ITunes crashed during download. Now what?

I just bought an album and while downloading iTunes crashed. So now I spent $8 and have no music to show for it. What can I do? I'm really ****** off...

My iTunes (7.0 and now 7.0.1) keeps crashing once it begins to download my purchased music. In fact, it locks up my whole computer. I've tried it four or five times now but get the same result seconds after it starts streaming down the files. Also, I've turned off my antivirus and Google Desktop Search to limit interference but to no avail.
A thought: is there a way to configure the music download so that it doesn't open simultaneous streams? I'd like to download the tracks one at a time instead of three or four at once.
Anyone found success with the new downloads? Looks like others here in the forums are struggling as well.
Thanks in advance!

My photos were updated and now won't open, My photos were updated and now won't open

I loaded photos and the message popped up to upgrade them in order to save them. I hit "ok", and now the library won't open with the message to use the latest version. I currently have 8.1.2. Is there a newer version that works with OS 10.6.8 ? If so where do I find it ? If not, how do I open the library?
Thanks.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

ITunes crashed during "Get Info" now the movie won't add to the library

Hi all,
I've been using iTunes with my Apple TV for over a year now, and this is the first time this has happened, and I'm at a loss on what to do to remedy it.
I added a number of movies to my iTunes (as i have done a number of times before), and selected them all, and clicked on Get Info, to move them from "Home Movies" to "Films", nothing new there, but this time when i clicked ok this time, for whatever reason iTunes stopped responding, and came up with the usual error of "iTunes has stopped responding....", so after I get returned to my desktop I went back in to iTunes and the movies i'd added weren't in "Home Movies" so i figured, "oh well, it must have completed it anyway, and then crashed", so i went and checked my movie list, and they aren't there either.
I figured that it just hadn't saved the fact i'd imported them, and went to add them again, but it just won't add them... i've tried adding them as multiple files, and adding them as individuals, but still to no avail.
Can anyone shed any light, or point me in the right direction for correcting this issue?
Thanks in advance for reading, and any help anyone can offer.

Hi beau_nidle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If iTunes quit unexpectedly while saving changes, and now will not import the movies again, I'd suggest rebuilding your iTunes library. See this article for help with this troubleshooting step:

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore! I need my Contact information!

When does iTunes crash?
When you connect to the computer?
When you click on the restore button?
At sometime during the restore?
Does it crash or does just iTunes freeze?

Itunes Crashed During Download-Can't Resume Download

First, I am running Vista with a SATA drive. I download episodes of "The Office" to that drive them copy to a network location and play the files from there. This has worked the last couple of episodes. I am running version 7.0.2.16.
When I downloaded episode 19, itunes crashed during the download. Now when I check on the store icon in itunes, I get the message that "all purchases have been downloaded for this account". How can I get the episode I have paid for as part of a season pass?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Making Vista and itunes play together so far has been more trouble than it is worth.

Jim,
If you can't resolve it, you might just need to ask the iTunes store to let you re-download it. Log into your account on iTunes, go to Account Information, click on Purchase History, go to the download in question, and click "Report a Problem."
The iTunes Store is real understanding about letting folks try to re-download an item if they have already purchased it.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.
