ITunes needs to close when I sync.

So after needing to format my iPod twice in two days, once after resyncing everything back on to it, now the ridiculous program is closing every time that I try to sync it.
No music is appearing on my iPod, and it has been like this for the past two days.
I would rather that this does not happen, so please help.

I have already completely deleted my registry of all iTunes related things, uninstalled and reinstalled and the issue persists.

  • Itunes need to close message

    When I connect my Ipod and after itunes opens up about a minute later i get the message that says, itunes needs to close sorry for the inconvience. Can any suggest what i need to do to fix this.
    Thanks

    do you also get that message if you try to launch itunes prior to plugging in?
    or does it only happen while you're transferring material to the PC?
    if the latter, what kind of things does it happen with? music, videos, podcasts or something else?

    Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Am trying to download a ringtone to my iphone 5, but app button on itunes won't open when phone synced to PC. Anyone have ideas about this? Jimbo

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Hi johnbpl,
    It sounds as if you are having difficulty connecting to the App Store to check for updates for applications on your iPad. If that is the case, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Start with the section Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch then if needed the section Learn more.

  • ITunes needs to close - Sync Outlook contacts or calendar

    I installed iTunes 7 after purchasing iPod. Everything works ok but if I select to sync contacts or calendar using Outlook (Outlook2003SP2) a error message appears: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" - Error signature:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.70 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 35f7ddc9
    After closing iTunes I restart it again and some seconds later the same error message appears. I have to deselect the "sync" option and everything returns ok but I could not have my contacts or calendar on iPod.
    I saw a FAQ page explaining how can I export the contacts or appointments (as files) but I would like to know why this "sync" option doesn't work before do this "workaroud".
    Any ideas that could help me solving this problem?
    Thank you in advance!

    This is the best remedy on the web for getting MANY contacts to sync from Outlook to your iPod.
    First of all, you need to open iTunes and connect your iPod to make sure that you have enabled your iPod as a storage device. TO do this just look for your iPod in the DEVICES and select it. Summary Tab  Check the box, “Enable disk use.” Then make sure you click, “Apply” in the lower right corner.
    In Outlook, go to Contacts and select all the items you want. You can use shift-click and control-click to choose multiple items. Choose Actions > Forward as vCard. This creates a new e-mail message with all the Contacts you selected converted to vCard format. Address and send the e-mail to a trusted friend - like yourself. Although all the vCards are right there for the taking, there's apparently no way to access them all at once except as a received e-mail. Collect your e-mail in Outlook. When you look at the received message, you should see all the vCards as attachments. Select the message that you sent with all the vCards. Choose File > Save Attachments > All Attachments. Note: if you use an e-mail program other than Outlook to collect your mail, it might not have the Save All Attachments feature. In the Save All Attachments dialog that appears, click OK. Next, you'll see a Save All Attachments file list. Navigate to your iPod's contacts folder. (Do NOT go to the folder called “iPod” in your program files. You need to find the name of your iPod in the various drives you have in your computer.) I didn’t name the folder. I just clicked OK and everything worked perfectly. You're done - the contacts have been shipped off to your iPod. Then I performed a sync and now I have every contact listed perfectly.
    I modified the directions from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mizd2969/is_200408/ain7183943
    These are the best directions on the web because they avoid the individual vCard sync process.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close when adding movie files

    So.. I haven't done anything recently with installing any new versions of itunes or anything of the such. Just one day whenever I tried to add .mp4 files (videos) on my ipod using Itunes, it crashes with the error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." and it closes the application. I can add music files just fine.
    anyone else having this issue? If so, can you let me know what you have done to fix this problem?
    Also, I got fed up today and decided to uninstall Itunes and Quicktime and then downloaded the most recent off Apple's site and that still didn't work.
    Please help....

    One other thing.. all the movies that I currently have in Itunes that once worked no longer work either. It crashes when I attempt to play them as well in Itunes.

  • Can iTunes give audio notification when device sync finishes?

    I'd like to get audio feedback when my device sync completes. So far, I haven't found any setting in Mavericks setting or in iTunes settings to do configure it to make a sound when it finished syncing.
    Is there something that I missed, or is it impossible?

    There is currently no option to set that would provide a sound when the sync is complete. You can send you suggestion to Apple, however:

  • ITunes need to close... ...........

    i know that happyendings already has kinda posted this question. but my situation is slightly different. i'm currently running on windows XP and i'm kinda getting what happyendings is getting/has been getting.
    but instead of closing 30 mins after opening, mine doesn't even start up AT ALL!! i guess it should be roughly the same prob as happyendings but mine just occurs a lot sooner.
    it's extremely irritating cuz i have an entire library waiting to get into my iPod and no way to get it in.
    iTunes 6.0.2   Windows XP  

    I have the same problem. I install a brand new IPOD 30GB and then when I try to open Itunes, it give me a window that Itunes needs to shoot down. It then locks up my IPOD.
    I have been working on this for six hours and is very troubling. I have reinstalled, repaired, even did a indian dance.
    Anyone know how to solve this?

  • Still with Error itunes needs to close

    I don't get it. I've installed uninstalled done all sorts of things and the fact is. I need itunes to work! Now my problem is that supposedly a new version of quicktime is installed yet I can't see it or delete it. I don't konw how it would help but I want redownload it.
    Other than that, any help with getting my itunes to open would be appreciated.

    +"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."+
    let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
