ITunes crashes whilst downloading/restoring/syncing.

My iTunes simply crashes whenever it is doing anything, whether it be syncing (usually after 33 songs, won't sync any tv shows), restoring (I have a dead iPod now, can't restore) or downloading. I have tried everything I knew (using older iTunes, using older iPod software, changing accounts on the computer, to no avail). Does anyone know how to get iTunes working properly again?
Any help would be appreciated.

Im wondering if you pc meets syst requirements for itunes 9?
And if your pc is having any other issues?
Are you running a lot at once? Perhaps check start up menu for uness stuff you arent using all the time and disable.
And are you running more then one security software at same time inc pre installed type? If they are both updated live then theyll fight.
Good luck. I find google a lifesaver in these situations.

And it will continue to come back no matter how many times you restart your iPad. Your iPad is in recovery mode now. That's a message indicating that you have to connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer in order to restore it. Something went wrong and there is no way around having to restore the device.
You can follow the instructions here in order to restore your iPad and make it functional again.

PC crashed whilst downloading songs

Just wondering if anyone can help me out there. My PC has been playing up (Windows XP) and crashed whilst downloading an album from the itunes music store. Consequently only half the album found its way into my music collection. I presume I will have been charged for this download and was wondering how I can complete the download without paying twice for the the same product.
All advice welcome
Cheers
Alyson

No problem, Alyson. Happy to have been of assistance.
Tip: Once you get all your tracks downloaded and you know they play correctly in iTunes, make a backup of your purchased tracks (onto a CD/DVD or external hard drive). The iTunes Music Store does not officially allow downloading more than once, so if something happens to your system once the tracks are downloaded (and since you say it's being flakey that worries me), you may have to repurchase your tracks if you don't have a backup copy. So do that first thing, and at least every few new tracks or so, just in case something goes wrong with your system.
Cheers.

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 10.4.0.80
iPhone 4
iOS 4.2.10
Window 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Thank You,
David

My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore! I need my Contact information!

My computer backed up my iPhone before I updated my IOS, now itunes crashes everytime I restore! How can I get my contact information back?

When does iTunes crash?
When you connect to the computer?
When you click on the restore button?
At sometime during the restore?
Does it crash or does just iTunes freeze?

Itunes crashed during a restore, now won't open. Reinstalling didn't work and I can't unistall or I will lose my backup.

Hi, I've been having issues with my 4s freezing and restarting itself after I updated, so I brought it to an apple store. I was told I have to restore it, and since I didn't have enough space on icloud for a full backup I took it home to do it. I don't sync my device with my computer because it's a POS, so I'm using my partner's. I installed itunes, then had to uninstall and reinstall it because it kept crashing when I opened it. After the reinstall it worked, and I went through the restore until itunes crashed either right after the restore or right at the end of the restore. Now itunes crashes as soon as I try to boot it up. I tried running the installation again to repair itunes but it still crashes. I can't uninstall itunes because I don't want to lose my backup. Is there a way to fix itunes without losing my backup? Thank you. I would call apple but I can't :(

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

ITunes crashes every time I sync my iPad. HELP!

Every time I attempt to sync my iPad, iTunes crashes.
I have deleted iTunes and re-installed.
I have restored my iPad.
I have repaired permissions.
I am using the most current versions of all software.
Anyone have a solution?

Weird addition:
Clicking the X to stop the backup process will allow the sync to move forward without a crash. At the end of it a message pops up saying that the sync failed because the iPad disconnected. Well, it doesn't disconnect, and the sync seems to happen. I think.
This problem totally ***** and Apple should be helping me.

ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

ITunes crash when trying to sync music on Windows 7

I have an 80-GB iPod classic that I sync with iTunes. I downloaded the 64bit version of the installer and it's been working fine until recently. When I try and sync my iPod to my library, iTunes freezes, and then when I close it it won't open unless I restart my computer. Has anyone else had this problem?

A large amount of Other usually indicates a corrupt files on your iPod. The only way to clear out this large amount of Other is to restore your iPod in iTunes.

Itunes Crashed During Download-Can't Resume Download

First, I am running Vista with a SATA drive. I download episodes of "The Office" to that drive them copy to a network location and play the files from there. This has worked the last couple of episodes. I am running version 7.0.2.16.
When I downloaded episode 19, itunes crashed during the download. Now when I check on the store icon in itunes, I get the message that "all purchases have been downloaded for this account". How can I get the episode I have paid for as part of a season pass?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Making Vista and itunes play together so far has been more trouble than it is worth.

Jim,
If you can't resolve it, you might just need to ask the iTunes store to let you re-download it. Log into your account on iTunes, go to Account Information, click on Purchase History, go to the download in question, and click "Report a Problem."
The iTunes Store is real understanding about letting folks try to re-download an item if they have already purchased it.

ITunes crashed during download. Now what?

I just bought an album and while downloading iTunes crashed. So now I spent $8 and have no music to show for it. What can I do? I'm really ****** off...

My iTunes (7.0 and now 7.0.1) keeps crashing once it begins to download my purchased music. In fact, it locks up my whole computer. I've tried it four or five times now but get the same result seconds after it starts streaming down the files. Also, I've turned off my antivirus and Google Desktop Search to limit interference but to no avail.
A thought: is there a way to configure the music download so that it doesn't open simultaneous streams? I'd like to download the tracks one at a time instead of three or four at once.
Anyone found success with the new downloads? Looks like others here in the forums are struggling as well.
Thanks in advance!

Itunes crashes when trying to sync Contacts

My itunes crashes when it tries to sync contacts with Outlook. I cannot even select the Contacts tab to change the settings. When I click the Contacts tab, itunes crashes. Has anyone experienced this problem?

I'm experiencing the same problem.
A temporary fix is to open iTunes (without the iPod cabled into the computer.) Go to "Edit Preferences," then "Devices," and check the block that says "Disable automatic syncing..."
Then, attach the iPod USB cable. The iPod settings will all show up, but the iPod won't sync, and iTunes won't crash. You can then uncheck the block under the Contacts tab that says "Sync Contacts." (iTunes will ask you whether you want to save the existing contacts.)
Go back and uncheck the Disable automatic sync command. Tell iTunes to sync the iPod, and there shouldn't be an iTunes crash.
Admittedly, this is a bandaid until something better shows up. My suspicion is that it's a problem that originates with Outlook, and not iTunes.
