ITunes crashes whenever "Add folder" option is used.REALLY IRRITATING.Help?

Whenever I go to the "Add Folder" option in iTunes, it crashes out and has to be ended. Also, some songs don't even show up in iTunes and it's really obnoxious. My entire collection is mp3 format, and winamp (which I actually use as a player) sees them all just fine. iTunes is missing about 10 songs though out of my total. And as I try to fix it and add a folder, it crashes out.
Also, when adding all my music at once (say if I was reloading my entire Library to my iPod for whatever reason) it only recognizes about... 3/4 of the songs in My Music folder (I have subfolders and things).
I didn't have the crashing issue with iTunes 6.
Also again, sometimes my iPod doesn't realize it's not being charged anymore, and it the battery symbol stays on the screen, draining my battery when I'm not using it. Super. Incredbily. Annoying.
Any suggestions would help loads >.<
Thank you.

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

My itune crash whenever it download podcast after upgrade to 11.3.1.2, I was it Win 7

After upgrade to 11.3.1.2, my itune crash whenever I try to download podcast. I am now in Win 7, the itune and those podcasts has been here for a long time. (not newly add)

I think I have found a "fix" to the problem on Win7.
My problem was : When I refresh my podcast in Itunes 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7, Itunes crashed.
I try many different things in order to "fix" the crash, but I think the key thing is renaming or deleting this folder
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
to something else like
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunesBak
From what I observe this affected how Itunes's UI was displayed and not much else, but I would strongly suggest to backup your stuff before doing this.
Others steps I did thay may have helped address the issue is uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Renaming the Itunes folder in the music folder
ex: C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunesBak
and then copying
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
from the "ItunesBak" folder to the "Itunes" folder. NOTE!! All my mp3 files are in a specific folder on my drivem if you are using the default settings don't forget to copy your media library.
Good luck!

ITunes crashes, whenever I want to listen to music

I don' have any problems to import music from CDs to my hard disc, but then ITunes crashes whenever I want to listen to music from my hard disc. Usually not only iTunes, but alll the OS. Could somebody please tell me what might be the reason for that annoyance? Thank you very much!

When I use iTunes to listen to music on my G4, it plays fine for about an hour ... then triggers a restart of the whole system. It happens plugged in, on battery power, with the network available, without the network available, with AirPort on or off ... in short, it's happened every time regardless of what other variables I've changed. And this has been happening for several versions of iTunes ... I first noticed it in February '05. This leads me to believe that it's intentional ... so how do I turn off this 'feature'???
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?!?!?!?!?

ITunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'

iTunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'
I have iTunes installed afresh on Windows-8.1. I have added folders (interpreter\album) to the Mediathek successfully, however sometimes when I do that I get a partly displayed screen of the folders-menu, I cannot scroll or select any folder and iTunes hangs. I have to shut iTunes down using the Task-Manager, start Windows-8.1 again, then it might work alright. Has anybody any hints what to do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hans M.

Interesting: Once I had folders (interpreter\album) existing in the folder "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" (probably from albums bought from iTunes-Store, I could copy all my own folderpairs to be added to the Mediathek into "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" and could add folders from there. That has the advantage to have all folderpairs in on big Music-folder for saving purposes.

ITunes crashes on "Add file to library" or "Add folder to library"

I'm on W7 64 bit. Upon trying to add anything to iTunes it immediately crashes with no usefull error message just windows saying the program has encountered a problem. I tried reinstalling and its doing the same thing, Any ideas?

Fault Module Name: StackHash_ada7
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Okay. Although the Stackhash result here roughly means "Windows 7 doesn't know what module caused the crash", in context it's consistent with trouble with your iTunes library file.
By way of experiment, create a new library.
(1) Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You will be prompted to Choose iTunes Library.
(2) Choose Create Library to create a new one. In the following window you will be prompted to select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
(3) Click Save. iTunes will open the newly created library. After closing iTunes, you can always select the original library by using the Shift key when opening iTunes.
Try adding some of the content that is currently crashing iTunes when you add it to the usual library. Does it add in the new library, or is it the same error in the new library too?

Itunes will not add folder to library - no error messages

I have an archive of about 4 thousand albums and have decided to use Itunes to manage them. Windows Media Player is terrible for large archives - it's database is poorly designed. Anyway, when I tell Itunes to add a folder (containing 1000 artists each in its folder)to its library it stops at around seventy every time. Also within the 70 artists folders it ingested I have several albums that didn't ingest.
what's going on?
on a related subject, Itunes does not seem to be smart enough to know that it already has a song in its library that you are trying to ingest.
thanks for any help!

iTUnes for windows has a limit, not sure exactly what number that limit is yet but if you goto file>add folder to library it only catches so many til it reaches a limit then it stops.
Also iTUnes is designed to add whats called "Duplicates" because it takes for granted your the smarter one. If you had to songs that are somewhat the same, one is the original, one is a remix, the tags might not note this. You may have .... Britney SPears - hit me one more time then another one thats a remix BUT the tags say the same thing "Britney SPears - hit me one more time" So instead of stoping the second song from coming in, it lets it in so later you can edit the tags to denote its a remix.
Now since you have such a large swath of music all in there own lil folders, Id think the easy thing to do is let iTUnes auto search your system and add them all. Theres no feature like this built into iTUnes UI but theres a feature like this when you delete a hidden pref file. When this file is deleted and you open itunes again, you get a set up wizard, it in this wizard you get the option to have iTUnes search the whole system for music and media files.
Go here to B noirs post about deleting this pref file http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=531850&tstart=0

After installing itunes 8.1 itunes crashes whenever I plug my ipod in...

I downloaded itunes 8.1 yesterday when apple told me to, but now whenever I plug my ipod (4th gen. nano) in itunes crashes with the vista message 'itunes has stopped working' and it forces me to close the program.
How can I fix this?

Hi Brennahunt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the steps in the article above do not solve the issue, completely remove and reinstall iTunes using the method in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
This process should not affect any music or content on your computer, but you may want to
back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
When reinstalling iTunes (step 3 in the article above), be sure that you are logged in to your computer as an Administrator:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes or QuickTime, you need to log in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure you have an administrator account, you may find this Microsoft article helpful: Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?You can refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.

ITunes crashing whenever anything is plugged in

i've an iPhone 3G and an iPod Nano 5G (the video one). since this morning, whenever i plug in either, iTunes hangs, and eventually crashes. I haven't tested either device with another computer but since both the iPod and iPhone are having problems, i'm assuming it's not a device problem, but rather a problem with iTunes.
iTunes works fine when nothing's plugged in, but the minute i plug anything in, boom. spinning beach ball. so far, i've tried logging out and in again, shutting down and rebooting, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my home folder via Time Machine to yesterday (when iTunes was crash free -.-) and reauthorizing my computer via iTunes after deauthorizing it. zip. nothing's working.
i'm upgrading to an iPhone 4 next week and it'll suck if i can't plug the fella in for syncing :\
help ):

I have the same problem: if I load iTunes for a second time and my iPod is plugged in the iTunes app and the system menus (top right corner of screen) freeze up.
Unplugging and plugging in the iPod seems un-freeze everything for me.

ITunes crashes whenever try to synch ipod shuffle

I have been using my iPod shuffle 4th gen for a year and it has been fine. I have just had an iTunes voucher for Christmas and therefore have had to create an Apple account to download music. I have done that and now I cannot synch my ipod shuffle. I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes but this has not made any difference. I have tried not having the ipod synch automatically so whenever I click on "synch" it is then that iTunes crashes. I thought it might be because my ipod is not authorised to have bought content from iTunes but I can't see where I can authorise it. Can anyone please help?

This is an existing issue, check out previous posts for potential solutions; most people haven't resolved their burn problems yet. If iTunes just disappears after you hit the burn button, this might be a fix for it. On my iBook I had used an external burner with previous iTunes versions, if that same burner is connected iTunes burns just fine, if the external is disconnected iTunes simply disappears if I hit burn. This can also apply if you have recently replaced your internal burner and haven't used it with iTunes in some time. This seems to be a bug with iTunes that has not been fixed.

ITunes crashes whenever I try to access the store?

I have Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes. Upon startup, iTunes prompts me to sign in twice, and closing the first prompt will only have the second one brought up seconds later. Signing in has the same effect. This is annoying, but not the important part.
The important part is that whenever I try to access to iTunes Store, signed in or not, iTunes crashes.
These are the Problem Details from my Control Panel's Action Center.

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.

ITunes crash on music folder import

Did an erase & reinstall on my G5. Saved music files (iTunes Music) on external drive. Dragging and dropping that music files folder (iTunes Music) into a newly installed, updated & empty iTunes library tab. Copying of files executes until approx 50% finished then iTunes crashes. Repeated three times same result.

If it's only a problem on your account, it could be a corrupted 'CD Info.cidb' file.
Locate it in ~Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences and drag it to the desktop.
Run iTunes and try again.
More info about this file in this article.
Hope this helps.

ITunes crashes whenever iPhone is accessed

Every time I plug my iPhone into my PC(running Windows XP Pro), it crashes iTunes. If I load iTunes, access the preferences, and select the iPhone tab, it crashes iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I tried cycling back to 7.3 and my library was too new for that. This is all with the latest version of iTunes. I put the latest version back on, it still doesn't work right. I have no idea what's going on. The only recent changes have been to install a Logitech wireless keyboard and upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.

Okay, I managed to figure this out. Logitech stuff seems to be the answer. If you are running Windows, don't install all the Logitech software that interfaces with iTunes. At least not if you use an iPhone.

ITunes won't add folder or file(s) to library.

Okay, well this started off when an album in my library wouldn't play. I clicked on the songs in the album and none of them would play. So, I deleted the album. I went to File>Add Folder to Library... selected the folder that had the album, (Files and the album art) and nothing happened. I tried to open each individual song with iTunes but that didn't do anything either. Then I tried dragging and dropping, nothing. I also tried to make a new folder and move the files into that, and it still didn't work. It seems that this album is glitched or something.. The folder isn't read only or anything and it was fine before it started to not play. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

try repairing permissions and then try it again. usually when itunes starts messing up a quick permission repair fixes the problem for me

ITunes crashes whenever I try to sync videos

Hey everyone,
Just yesterday I purchased a new 6th Gen iPod Classic, and syncing music is fine, but when it comes to syncing videos it's a totally different story.
I sync my iPod (which has all the music on) and there are no more songs to go on it, so I decide to put on some videos. However, when I try to sync the iPod again, intending for videos to go on, iTunes crashes and asks me to send an error report. I've tried this about a million times now, and have tried resetting my iPod, all with no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to make the videos sync without me having to pull out more hair from my head?!

You should try an alternative iPod manager such as these http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22
