ITunes Match stops working at Step 3 in windows - aborts iTunes

When running iTunes Match, steps 1 & 2 load and a green check mark is seen for each.  When it moves to step 3 an error message immediately appeas that indicates "iTunes has stopped working" and iTunes must be shut down.  I purchased iTunes Match on October 26th and have spent hours and hours on the phone with 5 different Apple tech support personnel since October 27th (Case # 523193741).  I called tech support again yesterday and asked if I could bring my Windpows 7 laptop into an Apple store to see if the problem could be solved. The apppointment was made for today, November 15th, in Tigard (Washington Square) store.  Bottom line, the "iTunes is not working" error message popped up again.  The Apple tech expert looked at me and said "I can't help you, I've never seen that before."   Has anyone found a fix that really works for the step 3 "iTunes has stopped working" problem?  Thanks.

Jim,
There are just too many "waiting" tracks to process and iTunes Match crashed again at Step 3 this morning.   It doesn't seem to matter that all music was purchased from iTunes or uploaded from my personal collection of CDs purchased from Towers Records, Virgin Megastore, and various record clubs.  I am at the end of my rope and have decided to abort further attempts.  Having spent more than 12 hours with various Apple tech support reps since October 27th, including the trip to the Genius bar at the Tigard store in Oregon on November 15th and also including your recommendations, there appears to be no acceptable (for me) solution. 
BTW, I purchased an iPad Mini with retina display on November 15th during the visit to the Genius bar at the Tigard store.  Since I still have a iPod Classic with 60GB of music on it (mostly classical) and also have access to radio stations around the world that play classical music using the Tune-in app on my iPod Touch (and on my new iPad Mini)  I'm good to go without iTunes Match.  It will be cancelled.
Thanks again for your efforts.

  • Itunes match stopped working

    My iTunes Match stopped working on my iPhone 4.  I was using it all day yesterday, and in the evening, it stopped!  Now, I can't play any song off the cloud OR any that was saved to my iPhone.  Does anyone know why?  Did I do something?

    This happened to me today, as well. Songs in the cloud would not play when selected on either my iPhone or my computer. Turning off iTunes Match, then turning it back on fixed the problem. I had to do this separately for both the phone and the computer. I hope that this helps someone.

    My Photoshop CC and also my CS6 has suddenly stopped working. I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit. I need help, does anyone know what to do?

    We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

    Do you know how it is chaning the addresses?  Can you compare what is send to what it is your address book?
    In the meantime, make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • HT204406 Itunes match stops loading after step 2

    Itune stops fontionning after Itunes Match has loaded step 2.  Why?  

    Hi there
    I was having this same issue after re-enabling iTunes Match despite it having worked previously.
    It turned out to be a problem with some of the new tracks i'd added since the last time it was enabled. To locate them, I had to wait until the match process was on step 2 and got to the point where it stopped matching. It got to something like 9822 of 9870 songs.
    In the songs view I then changed the visible fields to include the iCloud Status field, then sorted the songs by this field.
    When I scrolled to the bottom there were the exact number of remaining songs sitting on the "Waiting" status. All of these were new additions. I removed them from the library and retried the match and it completed perfectly. I'm now re-adding the songs back into the library one album at a time to see if they will match now.
    Fingers crossed...

  • Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

    Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • License stopped working, no steps have worked

    My CS3 license has stopped working and none of the forum steps have worked. I am travelling in the UK with my Mac laptops (2) and do not have access to my home Mac or the original CDs to reinstall the software on the laptop. I do not need the license on the home Mac as I will not be using it for several months. How do I get the license reinstated on my laptop (OS10.7)?

    Simply reinstall. Using the downloaded versions might get you by any disk issues.

    Take alook at Step #12 of this TechNote:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405604.html#main_user_config
    Start by deleting the configuration/Menus/Cache folder.
    If that doesn't fix it, then try deleting the entire configuration folder

  • I am suddenly getting a message that the 'mobile device services' has stopped working on my computer and windows seems unable to fix.  I have tried finding the file and making sure that it is enabled.  It says 'enabled' but does not work.

    I recently downloaded a new update of the operating system on my 3GS  It seems to be a bit slower since and I have no idea if that is part of what is going wrong.  I cannot get itunes to recognise my phone.  Windows pops up a 'window' that says my 'mobile device services' is not working and would I like Windows to look online for the problem - I say yes, windows does it's thing, blanks out and I am back where I was.  I tried updating itunes but no luck.
    I found the mobiledeviceservices.exe file and made sure it was all 'on' and 'enabled' still no luck  I did a search and came up with some other people who had the same problem but the answers that they were given didn't help me.

    When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

    Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
    Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
    The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
    The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
    I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

  • Adobe Premiere 13 stops working on Hp Pavilion AMD Windows 8

    I have installed adobe premiere 13 on my new windows 8 computer. It is a hp pavilion with AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon (TM) HD graphics 1.50 GHz and 6 GB of RAM and a 64 bit operating system.
    My problem is that every time I try to edit a video, a message pops up saying that adobe has stopped working and windows is searching for a solution. Then, the program shuts down.
    So, it is my computer or is the Premiere 13 not compatible with my computer?

    W8 and P13
    Great information. Thank you for compiling it for the troubleshooting plans.
    1. First we need to determine if the issue
    My problem is that every time I try to edit a video, a message pops up saying that adobe has stopped working and windows is searching for a solution. Then, the program shuts down.
    only occurs when you use the video as your source media for the program Timeline. So, first thing, import only some jpeg stills to the Timeline and determine if the problem exists.
    2. We need the properties of the video that is imported into the problem project. So far we know
    1. Frame Size 640 x 480
    2. Frame Rate 28 frames per second
    3. File Extension is .avi
    The major property that we need is the video compression that is being used. Maybe we can get that from the model of the Sanyo Digital camera. What is the model? I can try to find the information online with the brand/model.
    Good to know that your Premiere Elements 13 is on Windows 8.1 64 bit. We might have to tie that into the above findings.
    So, major information needed...
    a. Video compression of the .avi file
    b. And whether or not the issue is specific for this video
    Many thanks for the follow ups. Appreciated.

  • Liquify tool has stopped working in CS6 Extended after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    My liquify tool in CS^ Extended has stopped working after upgrading my operating system to Windows 8.1. It was fin in Windows 8.0. Suggestions on how to fix this please.

    This is not a proper solution (as it would cost you the GPU dependent features like Rotate View Tool etc.) but it does indicate that you may have to update your GPU driver from the GPU maker’s site.
