ITunes crashes when sync'ng my iPods

Hello All,
I'm recently experiencing problems when I ask iTunes to sync with my ipods. It starts transfering music when suddenly a message saying iTunes stopped working and will be closed followed by a message stating that Windows is looking for a resolution an will inform when it is available.
I suspect that a recent registry cleaning process may be the root cause for this, however the problem persists even after I hve reinstalled iTunes 10.1 from sctrach.
Any Help?

There's a bug with 10.1.0.54 that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices.
Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
(1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though), and/or don't use the option to convert to 128 kbps AAC when syncing.
(2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
(3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
(2 and 3 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

ITunes Crashes When Syncing iPhone or iPod

I am running iTunes 8.0.2 and I am having problems syncing both my iPhone and iPod to my Mac via iTunes. When I connect either device and start the sync process iTunes will crash to the desktop and then ask me if I would like to relaunch it. There are no error codes of any kind but it does give me the option to report the incident to Apple (which I have done twice now). I've tried restarting the Mac, I've tried rebooting both the iPhone and the iPod but every time I connect either one and initiate sync, iTunes crashes to the desktop. I am not experiencing any other anomalies in iTunes and everything seems to work fine between iTunes and my Apple TV including syncing. Anyone else seeing this behavior - it just started today out of the blue. Is there a way I can reset iTunes without losing my music library? Also, when I synced the iPhone to iTunes and it crashed I discovered later that iTunes has lost two of my paid applications out of iTunes and deleted them off the phone as well. As best as I can tell they are gone. What the heck is going on here?

This is probably the same issue as this:

Itunes 8.0.2 crashes during sync to iPhone or iPod with the EXCBADACCESS exception. The problem does not affect Apple TV syncing.
No word from apple yet, but it seems to be a widespread problem.

Itunes crashes when syncing ipod

Hi,
I finally downloaded new ipod software for my old 2nd Gen ipod touch. I've scoured the web to try find a solution but none have worked.
Since then itunes crashes when I plug yhe ipod in. This what Windows 7 reports as the problem:

ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!
HP Windows XP Using DSL for internet access

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

Itunes crashes when syncing Ipad with mp4 movies in photo folder for keynotes

I'm trying to upload a small MP4 video onto my Ipad to use in Keynotes. I place the video in the photo folder and select sync, then tunes crashes.
I had created the video in Corel Video Studio pro 3 and created MP4 file. Copied to the IPAD and had it all working. I then made changes to the video and reconverted and now Itunes crashes when syncing.
Itunes 10.4.1.10 Ipad 4.3.5
Please help urgent

I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

Itunes crashes when syncing contacts

My itunes crashes when it tries to sync contacts with Outlook. I cannot even select the Contacts tab to changes the settings. When I click the Contacts tab, itunes crashes. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Message was edited by: MR.W

Ok... was able to disable sync of contacts as follows:
1 - Make sure Outlook is closed.
2 - Open up iTunes
3 - Stop sync
4 - Go to contacts tab under your ipod
5 - Allow it to try and start outlook, will give you an error about how it is not logged on. (have to time it well, or it might crash again)
6 - Uncheck sync contacts and hit apply. I let it remove all contacts.
Now I do not have to sync contacts (which is fine for my ipod classic... not sure if this affects iPhone users as well).

ITunes crashes when syncing iPhone 4

Im on windows 7, have itunes 10.5.3.3 version and now im trying to sync my iphone 4 to get my music and everything else, but everytime I try to sync my phone, itunes crashes. I didn't have this problem before, but after I upgraded it won't let me sync. I have tried removing the .plist files, uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling, but I keep on getting the same error. I will really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

Just started crashing on me too! I just updated an iPhone 3Gs that I was converting to an iPod, since I now use a 4s. iTunes crashed during the phone reboot phase during the final stage of the software/hardware update. Now, I can launch iTunes, but as soon as I click on the iPhone icon, iTunes immediately crashes. It initially opened a "send crash report to Apple" dialog, but now it doesn't. I tried the same thing with my 4s and it crashes immediately as well. I have deleted all iTunes prefs with no improvement. I have the latest version of iTunes (just updated it a couple of days ago). I see several "iTunes crashes on sync" threads on these forums, but none with many responses and I've found no solutions so far. What a pain.

Can anyone help?

I ran Repair Permissions on my MBP hard drive and this corrected the problem. My iPhone now syncs perfectly with iTunes. I was about to, at the suggestion of Apple Support, remove iTunes and reinstall the program. But I thought I would try the old "standby" Apple cure (Repair Permissions) first. And it worked!! Hope this helps others with similar problems.
And, oh, BTW, if your iPhone 3GS battery dies, try charging it up with the AC adapter firstI think this whole problem started when I plugged in my dead iPhone into my MBP with iTunes running and iTunes, and/or the Mac didn't like it. FYI.

Have the exact same problem, although for an iphone instead of an ipad. Same crash log and everything. My phone is now in recovery mode and I can't update it because itunes keeps crashing. Quite an annoying way to lose all your personal information.

iTunes 11 used to work fine, but now when I plug my iPod touch in to sync, iTunes stops responding, and I have to close it from Task Manager. Then when I open iTunes again, everything works fine until I plug my iPod in again a it crashes
Help?

Do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but help in troubleshooting, especially iPod Classic hardisk.

ITunes crashes when syncing iPhone 5c

Greetings internetpixie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that iTunes on your computer is becoming unresponsive when your iPhone is connected. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps in the attached article.

Same Ipod recognized twice by iTunes, crashes when deleting songs off iPod.

I know that others have had this issue but there was never an answer and it was awhile back so I figured I'd post a new message. Everytime I sync my iPod it is recognized twice by iTunes. What I mean by this is that it looks as if I am syncing two iPods with the same name at the same time, although upon examination there contents appear different (when looking at the color bar that shows how much of the iPod is video, music, other, etc...) In addition, if I attempt to delete a song or songs off of the iPod, Itunes crashes but with no error message, just straight to the desktop, no questions asked. I know this is not a problem with drive letters as I have already checked that out and Windows is only recognizing the iPod once as the Q drive and no other drive shares that letter. Can someone please help? (or will my question end up in the iTunes message board graveyard of unanswered problems like so many others?)

so yeah i just tried that... didnt work. I changed the drive letter from G: to I: and no dice. This is all after i used msconfig to disable all third party services that automatically load at windows start up. Yet once again, those weren't the problem. So i completely uninstalled itunes, redownloaded, and then reinstalled the newest version with the third party services still disabled. Once again, itunes crashes : /
my friend is coming over in a bit and im going to see if i can successfully connect to her itunes. Only other options right now i feel i have is to pay apples sorry *** $30 to help me solve this over the phone.. or i can restore my ipod, then try again : ( any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated : )

Itunes Crashes when Syncing

I recently installed Overdrive on my Vista machine and now when I sync with my ipod, the system crashes. Overdrive is a program used by libraries to download audio books to mp3 devices. Any help on this one?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Uninstall Overdrive and see if the crashing persists. It not, then that software is causing incompatibility issues with your system.
Perhaps those audiobooks are available in iTunes for you to download instead?

ITunes crash when syncing apps to iPhone 4s

I recently had to restore my phone as new. I was able to sync to iTunes from my PC with no problem. However, when I try to sync ANY apps, iTunes crashes. How can I stop this from happening???

Every time it crashes, it adds to 'other' which is why I had to restore it to begin with.
