Itunes randomly shuts down while updating ipod

After i plug in my Video Ipod to my computer, Itunes recognizes it and begins to Update. After around 20-30 seconds of "updating" A window pops up saying..
" iTunes has encoutered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconcenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost"...and so on
At first i thought there was a problem with iTunes, so i tried updating my Nano..and THAT WORKED!
So then once again i kept trying to update my Video ipod..but the same problem kept happening ( iTunes would shut down )..I thought if i restored my Video Ipod then it would work. However when i restored it and tried to Update it, iTunes would shut down again while its updating.
now, all the songs on my video ipod are deleted and i can not get the songs back on it.

I ended up just redownloading iTunes 6 and it works now. No word on how to actually solve my problem via iTunes 7.

  • Computer shuts down while updating Ipod?

    Hi
    I have a Video Ipod and an old laptop, my problem is that my computer shuts down 2 minutes after I open Itunes.
    My question is, whether the Ipod saves the little data that is transfered, when the transfer is abrubted by the computer shutting down?
    (If it saves it I can keep on updating tiny bits of my music libary, otherwise I will stop wasting my time restarting the upload proces over and over again)
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro randomly shutting down, while plugged in

    My MacBook Pro has been randomly shutting down, while its plugged in and with full battery... I just replaced my battery a couple months ago so it isnt, or shouldnt be, a battery problem... anyone know whats going on?

    Same is happening to me. It's only doing it since updating to Leopard.

  • MacBook randomly shuts down while watching streaming video

    I've been having a problem lately with my MacBook randomly shutting down. I initially thought it was due to overheating which was logical considering I was using my MacBook in bed and the computer was very hot when it would shut off, but I've recently started using a TV-Table top for it to sit on when I'm using it in bed. My MacBook continues to shut down and the computer isn't nearly as hot as it was prior to using the TV-Table top, it is just warm. It's definitely not a battery issue because this happens when I'm using the power source as well. *I think I've noticed that this only happens when I'm in Firefox watching online streaming video on sites such as YouTube.* I never use Safari so I'm not sure if the problem would occur in Safari or not. I tried installing the MacBook SMC Firmware Update v1.1 but it said my computer didn't need it.

    I have the same problem, every once in a not-so-blue moon my macbook pro shuts down while streaming video. It only happens when streaming video. Just watched some of the new south park episode, and it shut down on me! It really ticks me off!!!!!

  • Macbook randomly shuts down while in use. still has batter power.

    About six weeks ago I posted this same problem. It seemed to go away on its own but now has happened again (once today and once just two days ago). I couldn't find any thread that had the same problem as mine.
    I have a Macbook that I bought in January, 2007 and I've had very few problems with it. Starting last early spring, after a little over a year, the battery started taking less time to run out. It also occasionally took a longer time to come out of sleep mode, usually only a few extra seconds but a few times it took nearly a minute, and once it was nearly ten minutes). I know I need to replace it, but overall, it isn't drastic. It just runs out maybe 25% faster than it used to (and hasn't really increased since), and rarely has problems with coming out of sleep mode.
    Three times now my computer has randomly shut down for no reason while I was doing things. Once in August and twice in the last couple of days. It isn't related to a particular program, as I was never always using the same thing. The last two times (today and the other day. And I think the first time, too, though I can't remember), I had my computer unplugged and it had been being used for some time unplugged (once it was around 50%, once around 40%, when it shut off). When I try to turn it back on, it just shuts off again and only stays on when I plug it in again.
    I am UP TO DATE on all programs. Is this a common symptom of a battery dying? I'm wondering if maybe the gauge that tells me my battery power is screwed up somehow and isn't giving me accurate numbers (though when this happens, the lights on the bottom still appear as if to say I have battery power left).
    Basically I'm wondering if this is a simple battery problem I can solve by buying a new one or if there is a more serious problem with my computer. IS THIS NORMAL? Please help. I love my Macbook.

    Mine does that. Around 40-45% battery life it just dies.

  • My 2008 15in macbook pro randomly shuts down while in sleep mode. What can I do?

    I have a 2008 15in macbook pro that when it goes to sleep it will randomly shut down. Most times when I try to wake it up from sleep it will just shut itself down as well as when I close and reopen the computer it will just shut down. When I try to turn it back on it generally takes 2 to 3 tries to get it to finally come back on. What should I do? I think it might be a Hard Drive problem. Anything helps!

    Hello californiabears and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Try resetting SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
    If you think you have a HD problem look at the HD in System reports:
    Apple menu - About this Mac - More Info - System Report - SATA
    Under SMART status does say "verified"?
    Otherwise:
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks - Apple Support
    Is that the original disk from 2008? If so it's due.

  • Randomly shuts down while asleep

    My dual G5 randomly shuts down at night for no apparent reason. I have reset the power management, but it still continues. It might go a week without shutting down at night, or maybe every few days. ONe interesting thing, I have Quickeys installed, but not open, yet the F4 key set to "sleep" functions without Quickeys being open? I have not set any key to shut down.
    Any suggestions as to where to look would be appreciate.

    I have the same problem. My quad G5 will shut down when asleep. There is nothing about this in the log. One log suddenly stops and then there is the log of the startup. Here is a part of the log from the last occurrence:

  • ITunes shuts down when updating iPod

    My iTunes runs fine until my iPod is connected. It starts to update the iPod as usual but after a little an error message pops up saying "iTunes has encountered an error and is forced to shut down."
    The "error signature" says:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.70 ModName: quicktime.qts
    ModVer: 7.1.3.100 Offset: 0013d270
    I tried restoring my iPod to no avail. I also tried reinstalling iTunes and nothing.
    Any ideas? I'm struggling here.

    Hey. I ended up redownloading iTunes 6 and it works now. I never actually solved this problem. I was downloading Podcasts though so that may have been the problem..who knows.
    For anyone who may stumble upon this thread and wants to download iTunes 6 -- it wasn't super easy but at the same time not super difficult to find a copy of iTunes 6. Some internet sluething should be able to track it down easily.
    When you get iTunes 6 you'll have to delete your current iTunes 7 library otherwise iTunes won't run. Just search your computer for iTunes library.

  • Windows shuts down while performing iPod sync!

    Help! Just in the last couple of days my computer has started shutting down on its own but only while performing a sync between iTunes and my 60GB iPod. I upgraded my software to iTunes 7.5 and even installed the update for the iPod as well. I am still getting a shutdown during the first few minutes of my sync no matter what. Help! (FYI - my music is housed on my external hard drive and my iTunes library file is housed within My Music on my C drive if that matters.) Thank you soooo much! Any help would be appreciated!

    Your's isn't a dual processor (or simulated dual processor, aka, hyperthreaded) machine, is it? I and many others have found this problem to occur on such machines (when is Apple going to fix this problem?) Some have found forcing iTunes to run on only one processor to be a successful workaround (there are at least a couple freeware utilities out there (I don't recall their names OTTOMH) that will force a PC app to run on only one processor on multi-processor machines, or you can try, after starting iTunes up, cntr-alt-deleting and selecting Task Manager, then in the list of running apps, right-click on iTunes and choose Go To Process, then right-click on the selected process and select Set Affinity, and uncheck one (or all but one if you happen to have more than two processors) of the boxes) but this didn't work for me: I had to physically remove one of my two processors - I haven't had the problem since, so I'm confident that was (is) the problem in my case. (But I'm still ****** 'cause I very purposefully bought a dual processor machine; it just so happens that right now I'm doing more CD importing than dual core work, so for now it's the best solution for me, but I eagerly await the day I hear that Apple has FIXED THIS PROBLEM!)

  • Iweb Shuts Down While Updating Domain File

    I have a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 Powerbook.
    I recently upgraded to ILife 08.
    When iWeb tries to update the Domain File, it crashes and shuts down . . .
    Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, how does one go about fixing this problem?

    1. Quit iWeb
    2. Delete the following file:
    Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
    3. Relaunch iWeb
    If that doesn’t work delete the file again and restart your Mac.
    1. Go to Applications/Utilities
    2. Open Disk Utility
    3. Click Macintosh HD
    4. Click on Verify Disk Permissions
    5. Click Repair Disk Permissions.
    Also take a look at....

  • IMac shuts down while updating at startup.

    And it won't go past the start up screen now. The apple logo is displayed, and there is a loading bar underneath. It gets about 1/4 of the way completed, and then shuts down completely. I have a lot of work I need to finish, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Imac randomly shuts down while idle

    I have a new imac 27". Purchased early Sept. about three times in that space I have come to use it finding it shut off. I leave it on sleep all the time.
    Could I need a new UPS.? It is about three years old.
    The console report shows it is looking for something but I don't think that has any bearing on the problem. Once it is up and running, no problems.
    This is the console message:
    "11/6/10 12:49:23 PM ..ButtonManager(164) Looking for devices matching vendor ID=1193 and product IDj=8717"

    Thanks. I just realized that something else seems to be going on here. I have two printers attached to the computer, an HP 6150 all in one and an Epson R1900. I just noticed that the HP was also off. It is not plugged into the UPS but a different strip. I unplugged it and plugged back in and it came back on. Is it possible that somehow the printer is sending some kind of signal to the computer and shutting it down??? Sounds weird but maybe there is a problem with the printer. Maybe I will unhook the printer from the computer and see if that helps. It is so random and happens so seldom that it will be hard to know.
    Thanks

  • Random Shut downs & Firmware update

    I got my macbook the first week it was released. Was a charm - no problems at all, until I installed the firmware update. Same day I installed it, random shutdowns started.
    I sent it back for repair on Friday, and got it back today (5 days later - Very impressed) with a note saying: Motherboard & Heatsink replaced.
    Looks fine so far.
    After being connected to the internet for a couple of hours, I got a pop-up asking me to install the firmware update.
    Wasn't that supposed to be already installed in the new Motherboard?
    Should I install it again?
    Any ideas of what's going on?
    thanks,
    George

    Yes, I had the same "Shutdown" problem with my MacBook after purchasing it about a month ago.
    At first, I looked at the Discussion Boards to see if there were any similar problems; there were. Many were discussing symptoms of shutdowns after cold startups, rarely are "random". Many said PRAM and PMU resets were no use, and that the "holding down the power button for 5 seconds during startup" was only a Temporary Fix. The shutdowns became more frequent as you left the computer alone.
    I then called up AppleCare and told them the problem. They told me to take it into the Apple Store and have it looked at. When I took it, I told the Genius the problem, and the "Genius" tried it himself, and like usual, it shutdown within a minute. Right away, he told me it needed to be repaired and they took it in. When I looked at the Order Form, it said he orded a new Logic Board and a Heat Sink so I'm guessing Apple knows the problem and the solution.
    Since I'm in Canada, I was told that they did the repairs in-store instead of sending it in to the factory. After 2 business days, I received a call and they told me the repair was finished, so now I wait until I pick it up, to see if the problem is really fixed.
