ITunes, not iPod, crashes when certain CDs are inserted for importing...

If a folder with the artist name exists already, import stops as soon as it starts, freezes iTunes (with the "time remaining" locked on 2:30 or whatever) >> AND << suspends my internet connection. Have to reboot whole system to begin again. This occurs when I delete or change name of artist folder, too.
Any and all insights appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You might want to post this question in the iTunes for Windows Forum for a better response.

  • Mail.app crashes when certain messages are selected

    I recently migrated a user from OS X 10.4 to 10.5. When we run Mail.app, it will crash when certain messages are clicked.
    I've tried everything I could to get the mail in in a different way -- importing it in different ways, deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, and re-importing, etc.
    It certainly seems that the problem is tied to the individual message, as clicking on a certain message, even if it is in different folders (because of the way it was imported) causes the crash.
    Most of the dozen-or-so crash logs start like this:

    My guess, the email(s) are from windos users?
    I had this problem, until I switched to thunderbird. A few people, using a version (don't remember the version number) of outlook/outlook express, would send multimedia attachments.
    As soon as I would select the email, Mail would crash.
    I would copy the offending email to a folder with no other contents, and then open it up with TextEdit, to view the non-attachment portion.

  • Crash when certain folders are opened in media browser.

    OPneing a project is fine but when I open that sequences folder in the media browser, premier crashes.  I have roughly 20 projects working currently and roughly 5 or 6 do this.  I did upgrade to Mavericks a few days ago which screwed up my AE and I fixed with a patch.  Is there something for Premiere as well?
    Slight panic going on here as a couple of them are due soon....and I can not acccess.

  • Can time machine be set to not back up when certain programs are open?

    Yes, time machine can be turned off manually before playing games downloading a large file, etc. Is there any way for time machine to not back up while a specified game or program is open? Or is there an app that helps with this? Thanks!

    Time Machine can easily back up multiple internal and/or directly-connected external drives and partitions simultaneously (but Time Machine cannotback up data that's on a network).
    From the first link.

  • CS-5 Crashes when Edit / copy are used for pasting a new selection

    Good morning,
      I have downloaded CS5-Extended onto my PC as an upgrade to elements premiere 8.  I still have the entire elements suite on my PC and functioning.  The PC is a new Dell 4 core with windows 7, six G of RAM, and lots of HD space.
      CS-55 works fine but has one very serious problem that seems to be a regular (several tests produce the same result) occurrance.
      Selecting "edit" then "copy" when a selection is completely ready for copy/paste to a new layer freezes the entire program.  No controls will do anything to the program no matter how long or what buttons are pushed.  The PC stil works however with other programs which surprises me (I'm very computer literate).
      The only method that I can find to close and "fix" the problem with CS5 after a crash is to completely shut down the entire PC and force a shutdown at that time (to get the PC to log off and shut down).
      The real difficulty now occurs on re-starting the PC.  The system seems to completely fill RAM on a re-start which makes the entire PC slow and almost non-responsive.  This took some experimenting to "figure out."  Starting regular office programs (Word, excel, etc) takes very long, and I get an intermittent "program not responding" display during the program start.
      When started, the program(s) are extremely sluggish, and mouse pointers are not linear movement but "bounce" from place to place on the screen.
      I considered doing a system restore to place the system back to a state before CS5 installation, but did more experimenting before this (in order to preserve the downloaded trial version of CS5 before my (already purchased) box arrives in the mail.
      When starting CS-5 (after a crash and restart), it takes over a minute to start and does not respond well at all once started.  When trying to open the previous file then "closing all files" the system seems to "unlock" all RAM and places the entire PC back to normal function.
      This is a continuous problem affecting my system and all stems from an "edit / copy" set of commands.
      Please help with this one.  This problem is obviously a serious one and cannot continue with my set up.
      My e-mail address is [email protected].
    Thanks for the help;  any other information you need to help diagnose this situation for a repair.
    regards,
    Peter 1269

    Chris,
      Thanks for the fast response.  In answer to your questions, I’m using the 64 bit version of the CS-5 software.  I have not received any bad “news” or reports about “bad ram.”  This from IOLO system mechanic 10, and windows performance itself.
    Let me try task manager / performance both before any Photoshop use, and after a crash.  I’ll also get some information from system mechanic and any other sources that I can come up with.
      I’m not sure why this crash happens after an “edit / paste” sequence and (possibly) not anything else.  I just did however find the program crash under these circumstances:
    Photoshop running with a (7mg picture loaded).  Turn on elements organizer with a 35,000 picture catalog that I’ve been using in elements 7 and 8 (and premiere 8 ).  Turn off organizer and return to Photoshop only to find that Photoshop is now frozen with a dual vertical arrow instead of a mouse pointer.  No action will recover the program at this point.
    Question:
    Will my “preferences” in photoshop set to a very high ram allowance affect crashes in the program?  What other preferences settings might be causing a problem.
    I can talk to Dell tech support if need be as this PC is only 4 months old.
    Thanks for ongoing help,

  • Word 2008 crashes when pfd files are inserted

    I wonder if anyone at Apple are looking into the issue that seem to be confirmed by many reports in different forums: That Word 2008 do crash if a pdf document is inserted into a document saved in the .doc format - not the never .docx format.
    Some has advised to save the document in the .docx and then with one or more other applications open and save the document in other formats and eventually ending up in the .doc format with a working document.
    No fix has be reported to be launched soon from Microsoft. So what does Apple say?
    Although this might be a rather long shot I was wondering if the pdf issue in Word 2008 might have anything to do with the way Mac OS treats the pdf files? The Security Update 2008-005 from Apple dealt with pdf files - and might have changed the performance of other applications - or what?
    The security update said
    "CoreGraphics--CVE-2008-2322--An integer overflow in the handling of PDF files may result in a heap buffer overflow. Viewing a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through additional validation of PDF files.

    I understand your point, but please read the info on the security update that was inserted into my message - there seem to be something with pdf documents and security - and one might speculate if
    this might also affect applications ??
    But apparently you are a great expert and I'm not so ....

  • IPod disconnects when disc's are inserted/ejected

    Whenever I insert/mount or eject/unmount a real/virtual disc into a physical/virtual drive, my iPod disconnects, as if it was automatically being ejected. It isn't visible in iTunes or Windows and I am 100% sure it was safely ejected, but this is really annoying.
    Also, I don't have a credit/debit card or paypal account, is there a way I can still access the iTunes store?

  • Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?

    on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.

    Hi princessruto,
    If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Date ordered changing when certain parameters are updated.

    Hello All,
    I came across an Issue where DATE ORDERED is changing when certain parameters are updated, such as agreement. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Veronica.

    Hello Veronica,
    Negotiation Phase is only for Quotes - it does not apply to Sales orders. You need to create a Defaulting Condition template similar to that called 'In Fulfilment Phase' for Sales orders.
    Here are the details:
    (1) Navigate to Setup >> Rules >> Search for Application='Order Management' and Entity = 'Order Header' >> Once the rules appear click on 'Defaulting Condition template' >> Under 'In Negotiation Phase' create another Validaton template named 'In Fulfillment Phase' >> Enter any Group# >>Under Validation Rules, Select Attribute as 'Transaction Phase' >> Mark it '=' 'Fulfillment' >> Save
    (2) Click Tools (top menu option) >> Generate Defaulting Handler package (you can also run the conc program)
    (3) Go to the Ordered Date defaulting rule and do as I had mentioned below.
    Please let me know if that helped.
