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.

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.

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!

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

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 11 Autofill Not Working On iPod Shuffle

I had to reinstall iTunes 11 following a reinstall of Windows and now iTunes will no longer "Autofill" my iPod Shuffle.
Formerly, Autofill would randomly refill my iPod Shuffle with tunes from my iTunes library, but it no longer wiill.
When I select "Autofill" the status bar at the top indicates it has begun a synchronization and iTunes seems to "hang" at that point. I am never presented with the screen showing the "random" tunes selected or showing them being updated on my iPod Touch. After some bit of time, iTunes reports that it could not add any more songs to my IPod Shuffle because there was no more space on it.
As of now, my iPod Shuffle is "stuck" with the tunes it had on it before I reinstalled iTunes as part of a Windows reinstall..........the Autofill feature of iTuned 11 doesn't appear to be working.
I've worked on this for hours and hours and tried every combination of settings I can think of with innumerable reboots to have Windows 7 re-recognize the iPod Shuffle. (It disappears following the "hang" of iTunes 11. I'm out of ideas and have no more time to expend on this. Oh....and it will not let me reset my iPod Shuffle back to factory state eitehr.
QUESTION: Does anyone know how to "fix" this............or is this a bug in the current release of iTunes 11?

Hello,
I have the exact same problem as you do. I tried updating iTunes to the latest version (10.0) and my iOS on my iPod Touch (2nd generation, 8GB) to the latest version (4.0.2) and unsyncing all of my apps to see if they were conflicting with the top tens list somehow. However, my top tens list is still blank/empty.
Let me know if you find a fix.
Thanks

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 11 freezing while transfering music, and can't eject it, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10.

iTunes 11 freezes and can't eject my iPod, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10. Please tell me at least a way to eject it without losing all my data and being forced to format/restore the iPod. I've got 2GB iPod Shuffle 2nd generation(:D)

As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. Does this problem recur when the shuffle is the only USB device?
If it does (as another test), select the shuffle in iTunes, so that its Settings screen is showing. Check the box for Enable disk use, and Apply. Does that make any difference regarding this problem?

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.

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

How to disable itunes store when transferring files to ipod shuffle

Hi,
I just started using my ipod shuffle a few days ago, using itunes on mac OS 10.4. To try it out, I used a handful of podcasts downloaded from the itunes store.
My problem is that whenever I try to move a file from my computer to my ipod shuffle, itunes seems to want to open up the itunes store (as declared by itunes in the top oval window) instead of showing the list of files on my shuffle. However, I've already disabled the itunes store through parental controls. My internet at home is rather slow at the moment, and it's annoying to have to close the blank "store" window each time I load something onto my ipod shuffle. Is there a way to disable the itunes store, specifically when I'm moving files to my ipod shuffle (in addition to using the parental controls)?

Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

ITunes freezing when trying to synch iPod?

I'm using Windows Vista, I've had the iPod Classic 80gb for a couple months now with no problem, but last night and this morning whenever I try to connect the iPod itunes just freezes all together and will not synch, I can use it without the ipod connected, but if I start itunes up with the ipod already connected I can't even use it.
So far I've tried rebooting, reinstalling itunes, and restoring my system back to Thursday and still nothing works, I did notice it downloaded a new driver for the iPod is that it? otherwise what can I do to get it working again?

Urbandmythx has an excellent suggestion. First try unplugging ALL devices except keyboard, mouse and iPod and see if it acts any differently.
Next, you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes without lock up...
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Finally, I assume Vista has some sort of "Safe Mode" you can boot into? Try that and then connect the iPod. If it does not freeze up, that would rule out a hardware issue somewhere and instead point to a software or driver conflict of some sort.
Good luck,
Patrick

ITunes has stopped Working when using Ipod shuffle 3gen on Windows Vista HB

Itunes keeps shutting down when I insert my Ipod shuffle into the usb connection of my latop. I am using a Windows Vista Home Basic for an OS.
Not sure if this is a Vista, Apple issue, or something else...
I have contacted apple about this and uninstaled/reinstalled Itunes. Yet after all this, I get the same error message. The message reads:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
As far as I know Vista should be compatible with iTunes and it is until I actually try to use my shuffle (newest model). Its weird because my shuffle works fine on a second computer that has Windows XP for an OS...
Does anyone have a solution to this??
Thanks in advance!

i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)
