"itunes has stopped working" - when syncing 4s, itunes stops at step 6.

Since updating to 10.5.1.42 itunes stops at step 6 - determining tracks to sync - when syncing with my 4S. The iphone is running 5.0.1
I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but it still does it! Windows 7 gives me the 'itunes has stopped working and is searching for a solution' line.
Needless to say; it doesn't find one...

Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hoursof frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a syncor tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1.  hold down the Shift and Control key together and clickto start iTunes.
2.  when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click onit.
3.  you will get a box that says "iTunes is running insafe mode.  Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarilydisabled."   [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but youshould clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause ofyour issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
You could already have your device connected to your computer ordo it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure ifthis is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
I hope this works.  This may be the workaround for all ofus Windows 7 64-bit folks.

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

  • Multicam source sequence - audio offset does not work when syncing via audio

    Working double sound with Canon 5D footage and syncing via audio is a big help, but the camera sound is one frame ahead of the video.
    Merge clips requires each v/a clip pair be selected individually AND can't be slipped after merging - so that's no good.
    Create multi-cam source sequence works a treat AND offers an audio offset BUT that does not appear to work when syncing via audio (I understand why you might think we wouldn't need it but...)
    Unlesss I'm missing something?

    I have the same problem. Syncing video via audio in multicam works perfectly on my 3 cam shoot but audio offset does not work. Had to do that on the sequence timeline afterwards.

  • "iTunes Has Stopped Working" when syncing iPod Touch

    So in the last few days, I've been getting an error message when I try to sync my iPod Touch 2g with software version 3.1.2. After a few seconds, I get this error message "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." It only happens when I plug in my iPod for syncing.
    I've been up and down the message boards here looking for a solution and I can't seem to find anything that works. I've uninstalled/reinstalled quicktime, then the iTunes software, I've deleted and remade my iTunes library file... I'm just at a loss. Here's the error information windows gathered up...

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

  • ITunes stops working when syncing iPod.....

    every time I sync my iPod on iTunes it lags alot, doesn't say it is syncing anything, and crashes with a blue screen thats says something about a crash dump.
    I took b noir's advice and turned off automatic reboot.
    I just tried syncing my iPod and a little window comes up after lagging a ton saying "iTunes has stopped working. Windows will notify you if a solution is possible".
    By the way I am using Windows Vista. I am in desparate need of help, this has been going on for about a couple months. help?
    Thanks,

    I have also had a similar problems with iTunes and Vista. I believe it is because iTunes 7 isn't completely compatible with Windows Vista; it only works with XP or 2000. I finally got my iPod to sync after a couple of tries and restarting the computer, but it still usually crashes. I think we'll have to wait until Apple makes a new version of iTunes that is compatible with Vista!

  • Itunes stops working when syncing my photos on my iPad2

    The last couple of times I've tried to sync my iPad2, iTunes stops working  while syncing photos.  What is the problem and what is the solution?

    I just got a new HP Win 7 64x Intel i7 computer, installed the latest 64x iTunes etc and tried to move my iPad over.   It will synch everything except for photos and videos; it gives the error "iTunes stopped working, program will close" when I try to synch my photos.   I have tried to uninstall and reinstall etc. to no avail, it just keeps doing the same thing.   
    I went back to my old computer 32x machine and successfully re synched and put my photos back on.   This seems to indicate that the problem is either with iTunes compatibility with the version of Win 7 on my HP computer or with the iPad compatibility.
    Anyone find the solution to this bug?

    Thanks!

    Have you found anything out on your issue yet? I am having the same issue with Outlook 2007 and my iPhone 3g. I got a new laptop at the same time as updating to 3.0 software so not sure if it is 3.0 issue or Office 2007 and really dont know how to address it. Syncs take forever and always error out.

    If you attempt to search for a solution on various forums there appears to be a link for this problem with issues accessing quicktime, and system 32 files.  I have got no problems accessing quicktime, and i Have re-installed itunes several times, uninstalled anti-virus, turned on and off the firewall, all to no avail.  At this point evertime Itunes is opened it attempts to connect to the store and crashes, so cant even listen to the music in the library.
    Anybody got any ideas how to fix?
    Thanks in advance

  • ITunes12 stops working when syncing with iPhone5. It can't copy the files. Tried everything; uninstalling, re-installing, updating... Still the same. HELP Please? :'(

    This just happened a day ago. It was when Windows failed to update. When I plugged my phone to the laptop, there seemed to be a pop-up box appearing in iTunes saying, "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" At first only the album artworks of the songs were not copied. I tried uninstalling and re-installing it using the instructions from here: Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support. But still, it did not work. That's why I though t that maybe because Windows wasn't able to update that's why syncing keeps on crashing.
    However, after that failed update yesterday, I was able to update Windows 8.1 today. After that, I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. I cleared up everything even the contents from the library to start anew. After that, I tried syncing it with my phone hoping that it would finally sync. Unfortunately, that evil pop-up window appeared again.
    I really don't know what to do about it. I've been using iTunes for how many years already and I have never experienced crashing.
    And about that solution, well Windows haven't notified me yet. And I doubt if they will.
    I really hope that someone out here could help me solve this problem. I've been stressing out about this the whole day. It's just so hard because there are a lot of files that I lost, especially music. </3
    Thanks
