ITunes crashes while refreshing podcasts.

If I just start iTunes, it will just sit there with nothing out of the ordinary.  If I switch to Podcasts is when problems manifest themselves.
When Mivio went out of business I started getting prompts for login credential, but no information about which podcasts caused iTunes (I would remove them).
After another update, things got worse.  After a few prompts for this useless login, iTunes stops responding and closes itself.  If I reinstall iTunes, it works fine until I point to my existing iTunes data folder on a different drive and let it rebuild the library.  Then I am back to the same error cycle.
Obviously there is something in that directory that causes the problem.  I would remove whatever is causing the problem, but I need to know what that is.  I do not have enough space on my C: drive to keep iTunes there.
Any Suggestions?

I uninstalled everything from this apple article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
Now. I dont know where your personal itunes library files are. Mine are at Music/iTunes. Im saying this because i would make a backup of the iTunes Library
iTunes Library Extras iTunes Library Genius iTunes Library sentinel    files.
When you uninstall, those things should remain, they did for me. However, I would make a backup of those files if I was doing a full uninstall.
After you uninstall, install the itunes version I suggested. That worked for me after I got tons of crashes in the latest itunes.

    I've bought a movie but iTunes crashes while trying to download it. Do you experience the same today?

    Can you not sync your iPod with iTunes? That should get the movie onto your computer. Now sync your iPad and transfer the movie?

  • ITunes crashes while trying to sync videos during optimizing

    Hello, Folks,
    iTunes crashes while trying to sync during the optimizing phase if there are any videos in the folder.
    If I remove the videos from the folder, the sync succeeds.
    The videos were imported from the iPhone using the Windows 7 import dialog.

  • Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

    Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files.  Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files.  I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes.  Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.  64-bit iTunes.

    @tposchi
    I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

  • TS3494 iTunes crashes when refreshing

    Some days ago I added a new podcast to my list in iTunes. I think it was yesterday when I tried to refresh iTunes on MacBook and then it crashed. I sort of recall reopening it and it did not seem to have a problem Yet today I deleted some old/listened podcasts before refreshing new content. When I clicked "Refresh", iTunes crashed. I tried again and again it crashed. "Podcasts" appeared double since I downloaded that other podcast, which did so in an apart "Podcasts" list, alone. I tried to delete that double "Podcasts", but there is no way or option. I can't use my iPod nano now

    I found the solution here:

  • ITunes crashed while downloading purchased music

    I bought some songs from iTunes and it crashed while I was downloading. It seems that the crash happened while I was downloading the first song so I was not able to download any of the songs I bought.
    Is there a way to re-download these songs? Or is there any way I can prevent this from happening again? Other than get a mac of course cuz I can't afford it right now :P

    Got it to start downloading! Thanks!

  • Itunes crashes while updating ipod

    can anybody help me with this problem my itunes always crashes while im in the middle of updating my ipod

    Try using the iPod software updater to restore settings to factory default and then upload all you music back onto it.
    If that doesn't work, try to post some more details about it crashing; Does the iPod lock up your system? Does iTunes lock up? Does iTunes shut down?

  • Itunes crashing while synching apple tv

    I have removed and reinstalled apple tv a number of times to no avail. Keep getting an error message after opening itunes while apple tv tries to synch. Tried unplugging my router, unplugging my modem, resetting the apple tv but same thing keeps happening. Any solutions out there?

    I believe I may have stumbled over the solution.
    I use my Apple TV rarely - every couple of weeks. Most of the time if it powered down in standby mode.
    It has performed flawlessly, although took a couple of attempts and many hours to sync the 18000 photo, videos and music. (70gb in all.)
    So last night I was using it and tried the Genius function. While doing this it prompted me to create and save a play list. I did this.
    Next thing I know, a couple of hours later I am trying to download a new song in Itunes on my PC, and voila - Itunes crashed before I could even get to click on anything. I noticed that Itunes would load, but as soon as it started to "sync" with the Apple TV, it would crash - say 10 seconds into Itunes loading. So Itunes loaded the graphics for the Itunes shop like normal, then it started to sync the Apple TV in the background. This is when Itunes crashed and I go the usual "Itunes has stopped working, do you want to tell Microsoft" error.)
    Luckily I read this forum and it prompted me to take a look at the playlist I created. The playlist was fine, so I deleted the playlist - IMPORTANT NOTE: This was the only playlist I had created using the Apple TV, all others were created in Itunes.
    Once I deleted this playlist, and fired up Itunes again, Itunes and the Apple TV synced just fine. No crash.
    Problem solved? Maybe. Here's hoping. I'd call it a work around until Apple can work out what is causing the problem.
    Note I still have videos from my camera in my "Photos" album, and I am having no problems....
    Hope this helps.... Now how do I tell Apple so they can see if they can replicate my problem and find a fix?

  • ITunes crashes while accessing iTunes Store with a intel video driver

    I have a DELL laptop running Windows 8.1 with i7 4500U at 1.8G, 8G ram, 1TB hard disk, NVidia GT750M, iTunes is working fine at downloading or updating apps but crashes while I trying to accessing iTunes Store, no matter I choose run with intel integrated video card or Nvidia video card.
    I wonder if this is happened because of Win 8.1 incompatibility or intel video driver, the driver is up to date and if I try an older driver, iTunes won't start at all.
    The same thing happens with Adobe Photoshop CC 64bit, it just get freezed but get an error message said intel driver is crashed and auto recovered.
    a message is shown if I run iTunes with intel video card by default when i access itunes store, but itunes quit if I try nvidia video card, without any error message.

    I'd like to add some more details to my question.
    I don't know if this happens at Win8 since I updated to Win 8.1 right after I purchased my laptop, all Win patches are up to date and also iTunes, I am running Win 8.1 64bit Pro version.
    I tryed to reinstall iTunes, install quicktime or reinstall quicktime, also tryed to use microsoft kb 2639417, but it does not support win 8.1.

  • Itunes crashing while importing audiobooks/cd's

    Could someone please advise me as to why my iTunes keeps crashing while I am trying to import either audiobooks or cd's. It gets almost done, and then it just shuts down. This problem has been escalating, as I was able to import 2 or 3 discs at a time then it would crash. I would then come back to it later, and start again. Now, I can't do any at all. Does anyone have any thoughts for me? Please? Thanks in advance.

    I seem to be having the same problem. I insert the cd and it reads it fine. I click to import and iTunes locks up. I use task manager to close iTunes and system is still bogged down. I have paid several people $$ and they don't seem to know the problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere but where?
    Last person to help suggested that I use WinAmp to rip the cd and THEN import to iTunes.
    Hubby has a Creative Labs MP3 and ripped 100+ cd's prior to iTunes installation with no problem.
    Can anybody out there help?
