Itunes is really good at crashing

Everytime I open up itunes it just crashes like I quit it with no box to report to apple. Its been going on for a while. I have opened console and it has recorded the crashes in there if thats any help. In the evolving mac era, is it possible that I have a virus? Help me out on this one.

Why do you think this is a memory issue? You don't control memory usage, the OS does and it's really quite good at it.
As the problem exists across two accounts, this suggests that the problem is with the entire system rather than your account. As you have re-installed iTunes already, I suggest that you Archive and Reinstall the OS. This will preserve all your settings and not harm your data - though a Back up is, of course, advisable.

  • Itunes acting really weird then crashes

    When i'm using itunes to update my ipod touch and add songs sometimes it will act weird and the fonts all change and stuff disappears then itunes crashes. I have the newest version of itunes

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

  • Itunes 11.2 on win64bit crashes when Itunes Match starts sync

    Dear all,
    this problem is driven me crazy.
    All started when I decided to upgrade my Itunes from 11.1 to 11.2 (on Win7 64-bit).
    After installation and reboot, when I launch Itunes after around 10 seconds it crashes.
    I've tried to follow instrunctions described in all similar topics (completely uninstall itunes, rename iTunesPrefs.xml, etc) but nothing helped.
    If I disable Itunes Match  it doesn't crash anymore, but in this way Itunes become completely useless since I cannot access to my music library.
    As far as I understand the problem is related to Itunes Match, but I have no idea on how to fix it.
    Does anybody had the same problem?
    Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    My iTunes 11.1 is now working (Sony Vaio running Windows 8 64bit).  I fixed it by following these instructions:

  • ITunes 10.2.1.1 Crashing in Windows 7 SP1 - My solution

    I will first start off and say my solution isn't the prettiest girl at the dance but it will get you what you want.
    Like most of you I spent the last couple weeks combing the Internet for answers but nothing works. iTunes would just stop working/crash whenever I connected my iPhone (3GS). So finally what I did was uninstalled iTunes, ran CCleaner to clean up my registry, rebooted and installed iTunes without all the bloatware (guide here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28727/how-to-install-itunes-without-extra-bloat/).
    The next thing I did before I started up iTunes was i backed up all my music, mobile apps, ringtones, etc on to an external hard drive so that i could have an untouched copy. After that I deleted the original directories and an library, preference or whatever files that had to do with the previous installations of iTunes. Then I copied all my music, mobile apps, ringtones, etc to a third location (my desktop) so that I can keep the external hard drive pristine.
    After all that I opened iTunes and let it search my desktop for music to put in the library. After this was done I consolidated the files back to the original location on my NAS. Then I closed iTunes moved my mobile apps, ringtones, etc directories back to my iTunes folder on my NAS. I then went back into iTunes and connected my iPhone. I got a message that there was a new (iOS 4.3.1) update for the iPhone but I canceled that for now.
    I sat there for about 10 minutes waiting for the Task Manager to show iTunes - Not Responding, but that never happened. I then went ahead and set iTunes to sync with the phone . I got a message saying that the phone wasn't synced to this library and that it will have to be erased and what not. My phone wasn't, but I am not sure your phone wont be. I clicked yes and then went thru the normal sync process of having the apps and everything backed up. After this was done I updated with the new 4.3.1. iOS and everything seems to be working fine now. It did take me about 3 days to do all this but i have a huge music library.
    I might have missed a step or two but you get the idea. Someone screwed up somewhere and the new iTunes doesn't play nice with old library or preference files for some reason. Not sure if it was someone at Apple or MS, but it really doesn't matter because both companies should be able to prevent this.
    I do not offer any support in this manner and the last thing I will say is be careful and make sure you backup everything often.

    Hey, I have had my intunes soley shut down my computer numerous times, for the past month or so. I realize now it is only within my itunes, but it may not only be itunes. My desktop and a lot of cashed info have been cleared now, as a result of a ton of restarts by completely shutting the power most likely.
    I have been too lazy to back up my music because it messes stuff up, and goes so slow it crashes. it will probably work better if I dont even touch itunes and just transfer small parts of my library at a time, not all 120+ gb!
    I think a my computer is
               a fried
               b my files are terribly corrupted
               c or my itunes is compromised
    either way, i will back up my music, but what do you think the chances are my music is the culprate, and by backing it up I will have the same problem in the future?
    i've been thinking re-installing itunes would be best
    let me know....thanks

  • Time Machine or iTunes causes Photoshop CS4 to crash?

    My husband and I both have identical 20" iMacs (see my signature). He uses Photoshop CS4 daily and Photoshop will crash for no apparent reason we can find and he's lost a lot of work over the past couple of months. He saves his work a lot but this shouldn't be happening in the first place.
    I've searched the forums and haven't found this particular problem discussed. The crashes seem to happen most often when either Time Machine is running a backup or when iTunes is open. There's no particular Photoshop command that he's using that seems to cause the problem. The crashes can also happen when neither iTunes nor Time Machine is running but seem to happen more often when one or the other or both are running.
    Can someone point me in the direction I need to look to solve this? It's a really annoying problem. I'm going to post this to the Adobe forums too.
    Thanks
    Kim

    It sounds like a coincidence, since it's not consistent with either TM or iTunes.
    He should have "Crash Logs" for Photoshop that may contain a clue.
    Use the Console app on his Mac (in the Applications/Utilities folder).
    When it starts, click +*Show Log List+* in the toolbar, then navigate in the sidebar that opens up to the "Crash Reporter" folders (there may be 2 or more of them). Find the most recent for Photoshop. Copy and post the couple of pages of it in a new thread in the +Using Leopard+ forum, as you'll be likely to find more Photoshop users and folks who can read crash logs there, and perhaps on the Adobe forums as well.

    I cant push notifications facebook on my 4s, i turn it on in setting notification. They said i must connect to itunes, i really did it but still not use notifications

    HEy Pm
    Delete the FB app. It ***** anyway. LOL
    Seriously, obviously the FB app is causing havoc on your phone. Delete it.
    Then back up your phone to iTunes.
    Make sure the FB app is not checked in iTunes so it won't go back on your device.
    Restore (as a NEW PHONE) This puts on new firmware and not your corrupted data.
    Plug back in to get your data back (except FB)
    Re-download FB app from App Store->Updates->Purchases
    Good luck
    Have you considered not using FaceBook and not being involved in all that minutiae? Do you really want to know when someone has tied their shoes?

  • ITunes 7 really slow

    Hi I have this problem...
    When I load my iTunes, some 4000 songs, my computer turns out really slow... The specs are good though: 2GB Ram, 3GHz Intel 630, fast s-ata hard drive... Right now my iTunes is synching with my iPod at a ratio of 20 songs an hour, strange because it's via USB2... What can I change to speed up things? Right now I'm starting to get disgusted with iTunes 7, I read somewhere that installing iTunes 6 can help, but I bought myself a new iPod Video and it needs the 7...
    Please help

    Me too!
    I have about 5000 songs in the library at the moment and that is just 1/2 if my entire collection.
    I'm running on Athlon 64 3600 with 2GB ram and iTumes is on a striped SATA drive so it is NOT my hardware. No other program behaves like it.
    When iTunes gets really 'busy' the taskmanager shows the CPU usage to 100% flat! It happens often and especially near the end of a song, it lasts for 10-20 secs. Its very frustrating since I cannot have iTunes running in the background if I am playing a game for example and I am forced to which to winamp.
    Here is another example. As I am writing this, I have open
    firefox, vmware, iTunes, creative labs mixer and windows explorer. Usage is between 0 and 5%. As soon as I start clicking on items in the iTunes list, effectively just highlighting items, iTunes' cpu usage jumps to between 15% and 30% until I stop clicking!!!! WHY???
    If it was not for the clean interface and the need to have it for my iPod, I'd ditch it immediately.
    Please Please fix it!!!!!

  • ITunes is really slow now.

    I added about 1500 songs in the past week, and now iTunes is really slow. Whenever I do anything with iTunes I get the colorful wheel. Can I fix this?

    is this with iTunes 11.0.3 (the newest update that just came out a week or two ago)?
    If so, don't do anything. I think 11.0.3 is a little buggy - I've noticed the spinning beachball too, sometimes clicking things does nothing, and it crashes a lot. I'm expecting/assuming that Apple will have another update out within a few weeks to fix the bugs.
    Quitting and restarting iTunes might help, but I wouldn't do anything more than that.

    When I plug in my iPhone 5 w/OS 8.1.2 and try to sync. w/iTunes 12.0.1 it crashes. Any fixes?

    I noticed this problem, iTunes displayed my iphone, but crashed soon after, with the color spinning wheel.
    I did the following things and it worked for me.
    I downloaded the last version of itunes, remove iTunes.app with CleanApp, and all these files.
    /Library/Frameworks/iTunesLibrary.framework
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/MobileDevices.bun dle

    I restarted, installed iTunes, restarted again and I was able to sync again.

  • What organizer app has a really good WEEK VIEW like my Palm Pilot - it's a grid with days across the top.  Below each day- the day is divided into hourly grids.  When events are schdeuled across  week - you get a mosaic of time blocks.  Analogue - great

    What organizer app has a really good WEEK VIEW like my Palm Pilot - it's a grid with days across the top.  Below each day- the day

    thx,

    I use Week Cal on the iPod.  I think it was only $1.99.  It is a lot better and does a lot more than the one that came with the Palm Pilot.
    As you know, unlike the Palm Pilot, the iPod does not come with a desktop application that you can sync your iPod calendar to.  Since I don't use Outlook, I have to use a Cloud based calendar to sync with my PC.  I use Hotmail's calendar for that.  (If your computer is a MAC, you can use iCal)
