Itunes crashes when adding files. Running windows 7

I am trying to add PDF files to my ipad, and every time I try to drag and drop or even add to the library from file, it crashes itunes. I tried different files, that have been on my ipad previosuly and I also logged under my husbands name to see if his itunes worked, and the same thing happens. Any advice?

Hello,
I had the same problem.
Tried to do many things but the result was the same.
However apple came up with the solutions and it worked.
Basically it is some other pgms that is causing this crash so follow the apple’s suggestions and it is going to work for sure.

Itunes crashes when:adding folder, comp crashes when ipod is connected

Im having exactly the same problem except that:
- It took more than 10 times to just install itunes without crashing or errors.
- Itunes crashes each time I attempt to import a music folder.
- My Windows XP computer freezes completely the moment my ipod video is connected, both when connected while pc is still off and while it is on.
I've read through the suggestions on the apple site and uninstalled and reinstalled countless times. If someone has some advice please share it with me.
Thanks,
Alex

You'll probably have better luck asking the question here -> Windows EightForums
iTunes isn't designed to work with Windows 8 or any beta software, so theres no suprise that it isn't working as expected.

Why is itunes crashing when syncing iPad in Windows 7?

When syncing my iPad via iTunes using Windows 7 Professions (SP1)... iTunes crashes repeatedly. This just started. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I deinstalled-reinstalled. Problem persists. I get the error message: "iTunes has stopped working. Windows will close program & notify me if solution available". I checked Microsoft's support site but didn't find anything. I'll check again. Thx for the help.

Itunes crash when opening the store, windows xp, error in "***.dll"

Hi,
every time, when I select in iTunes 11.1.5.5, windows XP (32 Bit) the store's start page (menu store/start page), it crashes.
All information I can get from windows after that, is that itunes crashed in w.t.f.dll. (sorry , this board does not allow to type the dll's name without points between the characters)
I already tried to completely uninstall all apple software and reinstall it after a windows restart, following exactly the steps
under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Unfortunately the crash still appears as before.
Has someone found a fix or a workaround?
Best regards

As I've just posted in Voo-Doo's thread that isn't an error message I've seen myself.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Firefox hangs or crashes when upload file dialogue window opens.

Whether in safe mode or not. Usually hangs, when clicking close the window "wait for a response" or "close now" is presented.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book

Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!

It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."

ITunes Locking when Adding Files Across Network

I just made the switch from windows to Mac and I seem to be having issues with iTunes. My main computer used to be a PC and I just purchased a Macbook Air. I have a pretty large media library (1.5TB) and there was no way I could house that on the air so I repurposed my PC as a file server. I then created alias's to each media file on the PC (i.e. Video, Music (320), Music (ALAC), Pictures,eBooks, etc..).
I set the library in iTunes to be in the local music file on the mac and I also placed the alias's in the music file. I made sure to unflag the two "let itunes do everything" flags. I then started adding the alias's in one by one. Video (which is huge), Pictures, ALAC music all added with no fuss.. slow as .... but they worked. I then tried to add the music file containing MP3s. Not only did it creep, it locked up constantly. I had a beach ball almost constantly. I killed the add process and tried again.. same thing. I then rebooted both machines and the same thing. At this point I am thinking my files was corrupt so I loaded iTunes on the PC and had no issues adding the files.
I then reloaded iTunes on the mac. No good. Now when I say I was getting beach balls I really mean it. I have never in my long life of dealing with PCs ever seen something freeze up and lock completely so often. It is so bad it is crashing finder and I have to power it down. No I know that iTunes is not the best thing that Apple has ever made (trying to be nice) but this is silly.
Being persistant I decided to bypass the PC and I went and bought a Time Capsule. Now not only does it still crash the files that do work are added REALLY slowly (and accessed a a pitiful rate). Is the hard drive on the TC that slow?? Time Machine seems to work ok.
So here I am. I have files that I have confirmed are functional on two PCs using iTunes for windows and one of them is completely crashing my mac. I can not house this media on the air. 1.5TB will not fit in a 256GB drive for obvious reasons. There are no strange and funky files just plain old MP3s.
Does anyone have suggestion as to what I can do? I have to be honest.. at this point I am rather ******. It should not take two days to add MP3s. I am afraid my journey into the world of OS X is about to end. If I didn't have an iPad & iPhone I would use an alternative player but I do and I am stuck.

Yes, I am repling to my own thread The problem only lies with MP3s from a network drive on a mac (lion). This problem can't be duplicated on a windows machine which is sorta madding. I converted 500 tracks to AAC and the problem went away and I have never had an issue with ALAC. No, I am not going to convert 50k tracks to AAC.
I have been watching the system log as the MP3s import and I keep getting this error:
"iTunes[1879]: _AMDDeviceAttachedCallbackv3 (thread 0x11309c000): Device 'AMDevice 0x7fd554add380 {UDID = b407ece7782174048d0ee3136beafc5a111e9156, device ID = 17, FullServiceName = a4:d1:d2:76:fe:2d@fe80::a6d1:d2ff:fe76:fe2d._apple-"
So far google has failed me so I have no idea what it means. Anyone have any idea?

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard - iTunes crashes when adding music

Hey all,
Earlier today I upgraded my mac from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and ran updates. I have iTunes 9.0.2 installed and my itunes library backed up on an external HDD. So I copy my library back to the itunes folder on the new install (Did a complete wipe and new install not an upgrade or anything) and then added the itunes folder in (approx 5000 songs).
It then crashes my whole PC while 'Determining Gapless Playback'. So I press the little X to cancel that and iTunes works but is really laggy and slow.
Then iTunes started freezing my Mac on startup which is just annoying! I then decided to add my library gradually. I managed to add all the 'A's 'B's and allowed it to run the gapless playback stuff and album art stuff inbetween. I then got to the 'C's and it froze on 202 of 235 songs.
I am really baffled as to why it is doing this, and my only thoughts are that either there is an Issue with iTunes and snow leopard, or my hard drive is on the way out?
Any help/thoughts most appreciated

Think I possibly have corrupted files in my library as I have successfully transfered all my purchases from my iphone back into itunes, so think I will just need to re-import all of my CD's at some point

TS3212 I just finished downloading iTunes, but when I clicked "Run" Windows indicated that it was not a valid WIN application and I lost the download. What can I do?

I've been having a lot of trouble with iTunes lately. When I would sync my iPod to iTunes, many of the most recent songs I had downloaded would be removed from my playlists and their respective play counts wouldn't be updated. I had thought that updating iTunes would fix my problems, but each time I tried to download the update, nothing would happen. The dialog box that gives you the option to open or run the program would not appear. Finally, after referring to the Apple Support Community, I was able to find a link to download iTunes that allowed me to do so. But when the download was complete and I attempted to run the program, a Windows error occurred that indicated iTunes was not a valid WIN application. It gave me no other option but to click "OK" and when I did, I lost the entire download. I hope that there is a way to fix this problem.
Thanks for reading.

Let's try the following document with that one:

Itunes crashing when adding songs

Everytime I add a bunch of songs or a folder to my itunes it crashes, I have updated to the latest itunes and I still have this problem. I can open the songs on Windows media player. I can also add one song at a time however it takes forever. If I download some more songs, I can add them ok.
I think this is due to my hard disk crashing a few weeks ago and I think some of the files are damaged but why would they still work if I add them individually ?
any advice please ?
cheers

chkdsk /f is a windows tool to fix file problems.

iTunes is a lot pickier about MP3 file headers than some other programs.
Maybe check one of those problem files with MP3Validator, as explained here

Why does Illustrator CC crash when opening files from Windows 7 64x file manager?

This does not happen with any of my ogher CC applications; and the files open just fine when opening from directly within Illustrator. It doesn't matter if it is an AI, EPS, or PDF file. The program just crashes. What I thought was a glitch a few months ago, seems to keep happening, and despite at least one (1) update, it still isn't fixed.
Am I the only one having this problem? Thankfully, Illustrator is about the least used of my programs so I'm not ready to pull out my hair just yet.

UPDATE:
I have since updated all of my CC applications to 2014, and this issue has ceased. I am marking this issue as answered, but it is not truly resolved.

ITunes Crashing When Adding Music?

Hey everyone
I updated my itunes to the latest 10.6.7 but everytime i add files it always crashes. Heres the error that always comes up
No matter how i add them (drag and drop or opening a file itunes) it always crashes... in the photo above i tried to downgrade itunes to 10.5.3 and the error still came up, so no matter what itunes version it is the error comes up. Is it my computer?? My computer was just updated 3 days ago
I need help please!
Thanks

Looks like this is a pretty pervasive issue - noticed that there were a lot of discussion threads on the web regarding this rather cryptic error effecting a whole host of OS X applications.
In the end, I had to re-install everything on my OS X Server. ITunes and all other app's are working well now (fingers crossed). No idea what went wrong with my earlier install... here is to hoping that someone figures this issue out or better still that Apple fixes this potential "Feature".

Muse crashes when adding a YouTube window

Hello,
since today I am facing a hardly influencing problem.
When I want to add a YouTube window (Social>YouTube), Muse sudddenly shuts down.
Does someone has an advice what to do?
Would appreciate any advices...
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In Library Panel, Click Import Muse Library and add the widget which you have downloaded from this link. http://lancetest01.businesscatalyst.com/assets/youtube---no-poster.mul ib
Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/30si2j
Then drag it to your page and it should work fine. It displays a standard 'YouTube' image when rendered in Muse, so you won't get a nice preview of the video, but it also shouldn't crash.
