ITunes crashes when downloading a new song.

When I buy a new song on iTunes, and it is being downloaded it crashes my iTunes. It doesn't download, and I have to buy it some else. Does anyone else has this problem?

Yep, same here. Strange thing, the free stuff downloads fine, but god forbid I download a $1.29 song. I select song, press buy and all is well until the processing and I tunes stops responding and windows 7 pro 64 brings up a box with something about the program has stopped responding.
I'm forced to restart iTunes. Once back in, the song I had just purchased is nowhere to be found. Not in library, not in purchases, nothing.
I check my account purchase history, and sure enough, I'm charged.
This is with iTunes 64 9.2.1.
Windows 7 pro 64bit
I perform an iTunes diagnostic and the only thing that was an issue is “iTunes helper” was not running
How do we diagnostic this without paying $$$ for every failed download???? I wonder if the free songs are on some different server.....
P.S Some songs need to be purchased twice before they stick, but right now, I'm playing Russian roulette with my purchase downloads.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • ITunes crashes when I play certain songs

    After having upgraded to the latest firmware (OS 4.3.1) iTunes crashes when I try to play and sync some of my songs in my album that previously played and synced fine. The songs are encoded as .m4a at 256kbit, 44.1 kHz and are playing fine in for example Windows Media Player...
    So why suddenly not in iTunes? And what can I do about this?

    Try the following user tip:

  • ITunes crashes when try to add songs to library both drag-drop and Add folder/file option

    I got the old iTunes updated, it crashed when open. Then I uninstall and download the newest iTunes. Restart my laptop.
    I even start iTunes in safe mode but it keep crashing.
    I try Add folder first, then Add file, then drag and drop. None of them work and I only have 700MB total of songs, no vids
    There were no pop up for error code or anything, iTune just crash when I try one of those add options.
    If anyone can help I would really appreciate

    after I got offline yesterday, I tried drag-drop again, it worked.

  • ITunes crashes when downloading video. HELP!!!!

    I have a pc and itunes 6. I want to download video podcasts, but every time I try to download one, iTunes will freeze and the Windows error come up. It worked before I installed service pack 2, but now it doesn't. Can someone halp me please?!

    If Zevoneer's suggestion didn't work you can try just
    clearing your whole library by pressing Ctrl+A & Del,
    then adding it again by going File>Add folder to
    library and add the folders you want.
    If that still doesn't work (it doesn't let you clear
    the library), uninstall then reinstall iTunes. That
    should clear the library.
    Well, looks like the simplest solution was the correct one. I tried to delete my library but it crashed when it got to the problem line item. So I ended up reinstalling iTunes and the line item was successfully deleted. (Now I get to recompile my library of 7400 songs and 200 videos. I'll get back with ya'll next month!)
    Thanks for all the help everyone!

  • Itunes crashes when i attatch new nano.. works on another compuetr though.

    i have done everything that i heave read... help! my nan crashed itunes instantly. and sends an error report to microsoft.

    OK, seem to have solved this problem.
    I had a program called iMacsoft iPhone to PC transfer installed.  This allowed me to transfer sound recordings from my iPhone to my laptop.  It is SUPPOSED to work in tandem with iTunes but obviously doesn't.
    I removed the program and then ran Ccleaner to erase all traces in the registry, and now I have iTunes working properly again.
    In conclusion if you have a similar problem to mine then check for any third-party software related to iTunes, it may be the source of your problems.

  • TS3219 I have purchased new songs from iTunes and they are in my Library, however I cannot transfer or download the new songs to my iPod..I believe this is a new problem maybe since I downloaded the new Apple software update...HELP ?

    I have recently upgraded the new Apple software and now when I purchased new songs they show up in my tunes library However, I cannot transfer or download them to my iPod shuffle...any help is appreciated..my son is having the same problem downloading to his iPhone 4.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • I have missing songs that i purchased on my old iphone. they are not in my purchased folder. but in itunes store when i look the song up, it has the purchased logo next to it.... but no way to download it

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Anyway to get them back?

    I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Besides honestly wanting to cry, is there anyway to get them back without making them all AGAIN? And thanks so much, stupid Apple. Am looking for a new MP3 player to take your stupid ipod player's place. I used to love my ipod...now everytime I turn around, apple has screwed with something that causes ME time and trouble.

  • I have a new computer and have downloaded some new CD's to my music Library.  When synching the new songs will not download even though there is abundant room on the Ipod and the new songs are checked.  Could this be a Windows 8 issue?

    I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
