ITunes crashes on podcast tab?

I just installed the latest 10.2 iTunes and it will crash everytime I go to the Podcast tab. I use iTunes as my video podcast hub for the HD quality. Any ideas? Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes? Anyone else having this problem?

I found a fix for this problem. First I had itunes use one of my back libaries, the one on my bootable backup worked. I ran itunes off this "itunes LIbray" file for awhile to confirm that everything worked. The problem with the podcast tab never showed up.
Then I went to my computer and deleted every "itunes library" file and everything else in the same folder. I don't know if this was necessary, but its what I did. I had attempted to delete and reinstall itunes, which did not work. I assumed the problem was in the contents or the itunes library files. Not wanting to waste more time, I took the brute force approach.
I then drag and droped the contents from my backup onto my computer. It took awhile to copy because I deleted all the contents. You may want to look at just deleting the "itunes library" files. I deleted everything because I knew it was working on my backup.
Once everything is copied, then just redirect itunes to the old libray file location. i haven't had a problem for 3 days now.

Itunes Crashes - Duplicate Podcast Libaries

I have a problem where itunes created a new unwanted 'podcast library'.
Now when I try to update or refresh any podcasts in the original 'podcast library', itunes crashes.
I have a mac mini powerpc G4 operating osx 10.5.8. My version of itunes is 10.6.3.
Here is what happened: I suscribed to a new podcast from an internet browser while itunes was closed.
When itunes opened I found that it had created a second 'podcast library' (visible above the previous 'library' on the top left-hand side of itunes).
I also noticed that the small highlighted oval which lists the number of podcast episodes had disappeared from the old 'podcast library'.
When I try to update or refresh a podcast from the existing 'podcast library', itunes now crashes. However, I can still listen to old podcasts.
I tried to manualy delete the new 'podcast library' by going to my itunes Library Folder, but found that there is only one folder named 'podcasts' and it is the original one. I tried re-installing itunes 10.6.3 but the unwanted 'podcast library' still appeared.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any way to delete a duplicate podcast library that itunes created?
Thank in advance for your help!

ITunes Freezing when podcasts tab selected

Since ungrading to iOS 7 when I select the podcast tab on my iPhone 5 iTunes freezes for several minutes sometimes.
This also happens when selecting podcasts to sync.
And all the podcasts sync to the phone even the ones unselected.

I had the same problem, recently I ran ONYX, restarted the iBook and tried iTunes for a podcast download. Being prepared for the freeze...gave it 30 seconds and all the backlogged podcasts started to download just like pre iTunes 7.2. Guess my iTunes is back to normal.
ONYX is freeware:

ITunes Crashes When Movies Tab is Clicked. iPad wont sync Either. Can Anyone Help ?? Pleaaaase !

Itunes seems to be crashing 9 times out of ten when i open the movies tab to view my films. When it finally stops crashing i realize My pad is not recognized by itunes while plugged in via usb on the mac. It still charges but itunes doesn't see it. HELP ME PLEASE !
Thanks Guys

I just tonight restarted and logged into my Mac after this upgrade being applied. I discover that I am completely unable to play back song samples in the iTunes store. The first time I double-clicked an item, I got the immediate gray-screen "You must restart now." After restarting, I tried again, and this time it didn't even crash gracefully...the top third of my screen display has been overlaid with Linux-level white-on-black text, explaining the Darwin kernel's inability to cope with whatever the f*&k just happened. "Frame not mapped or invalid" was the gist of the message.
Good thing I have my Windows machine here to login and complain...

ITunes Crashes accessing Podcast directory

For the past 3-5 months in 10.4.x and 10.5.x accessing the podcast directory of my iTunes library results in an instant crash of iTunes. This really ***** as I was hoping the 10.5 upgrade would fix things. I was a podcast junkie and I've since gone cold turkey as a result of these technical problems.
Is there a fix to this? I'm currently using iTunes 7.6.2. I've even attempted to reinstall 7.6.2 with no luck.

Itunes always crashes on podcast update.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but the search didn't turn up anything that was relavent to my specific problem. As stated in the title, itunes crashes during podcast updates. It happened both before and after the version upgrade. Itunes works fine without the podcast updates, however, I would like to continue to get my episodes of "Ask a Ninja", which I find hilarious. Without fail, it will crash upon updates. Its not due to a particular podcast or nething because even when I update one by one, it will still crash. I can still import songs from CD's and update the pod itself.
Thanks.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

Why does iTunes crash every time the "books" tab is opened

Has anyone had the problem of iTunes crashing every time the "books" tab is selected? Every time I open that tab and begin to browse the contents iTunes give the message that "iTunes has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program an notify you if a solution is available." This has been happening ever since I upgraded from iTunes 9 to iTunes 10.

maybe:

or

and

Doing this:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

IPhone connected to Mac, iTunes freezes when selecting PODCASTS tab

So I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and iOS7 (running OSX 10.8.5) and my podcasts and smart playlists did not sync. (I do not use the Podcats app because I have so many podcast-related folders and smart-folders.) Every time I click on the PODCASTS tab when the iPhone 5 is connected iTunes freezes and I have to Force Quit the app.
I've fixed permissions, run Disk Utility, restarted... nothing helps. This seems to specifically be an iTunes problem.

So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

ITunes gets unresponsive when I click on Podcast tab in the device management window.

Hello,
I run the iTunes 11.1 on MacOX 10.8.5.
iTunes gets unresponsive each time I click on Podcast tab in the device management window. (when my iPhone5 is connected, running iOS7)
There was no bug before I upgrade iTunes and iOS.
Is this a know bug?
What Can I do?
Will this be fixed in a next update?
There is another bug, which may be related to the first one:
before, in the podcast tab of my iphone management window, I chose to sync a smart playlist. Before the upgrade, the sync worked fine.
But now, the sync seems OK on iTunes (the playlist is well displaied in my iPhone section), but I need to shutdown/restart my iPhone to get it updated on it. Othewise, I still see its content as it was before the sync.
Please notice that this playlist contains only podcasts.
Thanks a lot for any help.

ITunes crashed during sync, now Podcasts have sound but no video.

My wife has a 5th gen 30GB iPod. It has the latest system software from iPod Updater, and we're running the latest iTunes.
Yesterday she was doing a sync, and iTunes crashed on her in the middle of it. Now, even with an iPod Restore and reset, and a restart of her Windows XP machine, Podcasts won't play properly on the iPod. They play fine in iTunes, but only the audio portion plays on the iPod. Non-Podcast video (such as music videos) plays fine on the iPod.
What happened here? What's wrong?
Thanks for any help in solving this.

An update (and a solution):
Looks like the iTunes crash was only a clue as to what was happening elsewhere, and a slightly misleading clue at that.
Video Podcasts were placing themselves in the "Music" section on the iPod, and it was from there that we were attempting to play them. This worked just fine until iTunes's crash. After the crash, only the audio part would play.
It was only late last night that after lots of investigation my wife discovered that the video Podcasts were ALSO installing themselves into a "Videos > Video Podcasts" sub section!
It's stupidly obvious now, but was not yesterday: Video Podcasts will only play the audio portion when played from the "Music" section, but will play both audio and video when played from "Video > Video Podcasts". For some reason we had not discovered the "Video Podcasts" subsection until last night.
Then a second solution was discovered to have been necessary. One Podcast video still would not play properly, even from the correct section. This turned out to be due to a need to "Convert" it to play on the iPod. This page has the answer to that:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
iTunes online Help has all the answers to this, but we thought it was an iPod problem, and the iPod manual was no help at all. The answers to this in iTunes Help are found under:
"Browsing and watching videos"
and
"Converting a video to work with iPod"
It really helps to PRINT those two subjects, so you can refer to the paper page instead of trying to toggle back and forth between the iTunes screen and its Help screen.
I hope this topic helps someone else.

ITunes freeze when on podcasts tab

I have a problem with the latest itunes 10.2. When i load itunes podcast tab it freezes. To sucessfully relaunch itunes, i need to delete the itunes.plist file in library/preferences directory and once i try to reload the podcast folder it freezes again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? i deleted itunes and reinstalled with no success.

As you may notice if you search the support discussions you will see that many of us share exactly the same problem. It started I think, after the last Windows 7 update but it may have started after I loaded the Itunes update. Anyway it I first noticed it last week. i.e. after 9th May. ..
We are all waiting for an Apple Fix.
APPLE, PLEASE ATTEND TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM
