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:

  • 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 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 :(

    See Here for  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • 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!

  • ITunes crash at 'Get Info'

    Hello,
    I've been using iTunes for awhile now, ever since I got my 5th gen iPod.
    Recently I upgraded to windows vista, and I'm having a problem editing any of my song info via right clicking and 'get info'. Namely, I can't edit it. iTunes simply crashes right after I click 'get info'.
    I've reinstalled, upgraded to 7.3.1, still no luck.
    Any suggestions? Thank you

    Anyone?

  • Itunes crashed during sync and now it wont sync my apps?????

    i was syncing my itunes and was updating my itunes which i minimized away, and then suddenly itunes crashed and itunes kept updating i closed the update and went back on and finished the sync but some apps i purchased werent there. i have since updated itunes thinking that would help but no luck there. how can i fix this?

    In iTunes, go to the App store and download the apps again.
    If you log in with the same account that they were purchased with, you will not have to pay for them again.
    Golden rule, do not try to update the itunes software at the same time syncing your phone.
    I would expect iTunes to want to shut its self down while updating and if you are syncing at the same time, then its very possible to loose all your info. You were probably lucky only to loose some Apps

  • How do i keep itunes from creating a folder for each movie that I add to my library?

    When I add a movie to my library, iTunes 10 creates a SubFolder to the iTunes Movies folder, for each movie I add.  The older iTunes just added the Files to the Movies folder, whithout creating subfolders for each movie. 
    Is there a setting so that i can make version 10 do this?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    No, there is no custom setting for this. I wouldn't advise it, but if you really want you could downgrade to the older folder layout. However all your other folders will be arranged in the old layout too which may no be what you want.
    See this old post of mine for more details. (Read the last bit first.)

  • Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall.  Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all.  tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

    So I tried to update to the newest Itunes.  It locked up my computer part way thru the install.  Black screen, computer turned itself off.  Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down.  I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist.  the other apple programs do, but no itunes.  when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded.  I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs.  however, i can open itunes.  it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall.  So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it???  I'm out of ideas.  running windows vista.

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • ITunes Bug: Get Info on a movie displays actors instead of director

    Bug in iTunes 12.0.1
    Get info on any movie in iTunes and where it shows "Director" it will list the Actors instead, not the director at all.

    This issue has been happening to me for years as well doing the same exact thing. Import an album and want to change info in bulk such as the number of discs. Each time one track is left out normally towards the middle of the album.
    Any solution for this would be much appreciated as it is just frustrating for this to continue after so many years.

  • 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.

  • When I try to access iTunes Store I get an error message stating feature not available in the uk store

    when I try to access iTunes Store I get an error message stating feature not available in the uk store

    Exact same thing is happening to me. Couldn't find where to view the Itunes version number after a quick look. I hate the "simplified" interface by the way. On windows 8.1. Really starting to hate itunes, very buggy, and apple device locked down content (I'm looking at you TV shows and Movies) make it a pain to use.
