Itunes shuts down halfway through syncing

I start Itunes and plug in my itouch and it starts syncing all the way to "Backing up" ipod. Then an error message pops up and says itunes has to shut down.

Not sure ... since the msvcrt.dll result is rare, I don't have it strongly correlated with any given cause. I thought I'd check on the podcast thing because it's probably the most common cause of this sort of of crash (although usually the error for that does cite a QuickTime component of some sort rather than the dll we're seeing with you).
I'm still wondering about the operating system and its interface with applications on the PC.
Even though you aren't getting the symptoms described in the following troubleshooting document, I think it might be worth a try in this context:
[iTunes for Windows: "iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes" message|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074]
(The theory here is that the .NET framework is one of the things that Windows uses to stop programs getting their dlls in a tangle. So a subtle problem with the .NET framework might cause an msvcrt.dll error on a sync, rather than the more usual launch issues.)

  • ITunes shuts down when I sync iPod

    Ever since I did the last software update, everytime I connect my 30G iPod to synch with iTunes...iTunes automatically shuts down. I can use iTunes just fine by itself and the same for the iPod. But once I connect them, iTunes just shuts down. I usually have to sync it three times, before it won't shut down. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Are you getting a blue screen of any sort when the computer crashes?
    If so, please quote what it says (if a file is mentioned in the BSOD, quote what that says, too).
    If you are only getting a flash of a blue screen, or you aren't getting anything, you can switch your settings here, and see if you can make a hidden blue screen show:
    1 - Go to "My Computer" in a Windows Explorer window.
    2 - Right-click on "My Computer", and click on Properties.
    3 - Go to the "Advanced" tab, click on "Settings" under the "Startup and recovery" section.
    4 - Verify that "Automatically restart" is not selected.
    As a general, let's try reinstalling iTunes (and QuickTime, too).
    Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
    Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
    Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installing these programs:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    After you've done that, restart your computer.
    Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Now, restart your computer once more.
    After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

  • Macbook pro shuts down halfway through OSX Yosemite update

    I made the update from OSX Mavericks to Yosemite. Was running fine until my computer ran out of battery. I plugged it in and try to turn it on, since then it stopped working.
    Now, when I turn it on, the apple logo with the loading bar underneath appears, and halfway through the download, the computer shuts down on its own.
    It has been doing that for 2 weeks now,
    Anybody can help ?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I would start by booting into the Recovery Partition, on start up hold the ⌘ and R keys till you see the small window containing the four options. I think Disk Utility is the last option in the list. Use it to repair Permissions and then repair the hard drive.
    Your signature says you are using Yosemite? Are you still able to boot into Mavericks or have you successfully installed Yosemite?
    Remember, you should never do anything system intensive while using battery power, even if it's a full charge. Always use your AC power.

  • I receive an error and iTunes shuts down every time I try to sync my iPhone

    Every time I try to sync my iPhone, I receive an error and iTunes shuts down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes at least 3 different times and still no luck. Any suggestions please.

    Thanks for the answer. The sync process goes well until the last step,(5th) when iTunes try to syncing pictures. At that point I got an error message telling me that iTunes doesen’t work properly. “Windows tries to find a solution to the problem” ...and then the program shuts down. I remember that I tried to include videos in the Photo tab just before it all happend, so I think that is the issue here.
    The problem is that i dont know how to uncheck include videos option since the program stops working. Is it something i can do without having my iPhone connected? I Saw that some have installed older versions of iTunes to go around the problem and if that solves it all, at least for now... where can I download it?
    Thanx in advance. M

  • ITunes shuts down when syncing iTouch with another computer

    Decided to use a different computer(laptop) running windows. Have moved library via hard drive transfer. Went to connect iTouch- couldn't restore it, but genius bar got it working. Probable antivirus conflict. Now after updating software for both iTunes and iTouch and consolidating library , can't get sync to work. I backed up iTouch before attempting sync and it did import contacts etc. But now it won't sync music library. When I manually move an album to the device , now iTunes shuts down and becomes unresponsive after the first 3 or 4 seconds of the tranfer. Very frustrating.

  • Itunes shuts down when I try to sync videos

    I have successfully synced videos in the past.  Recently, Itunes shuts down every time it trys to synch the videos.

    Are you trying to sync them from the photos tab?
    If so, try importing the videos into itunes and then syncing them from the movies tab.
    You'll also want to uncheck 'Sync Videos' in the photos tab.

  • Itunes shuts down during iphone 5c sync

    When syncing one of our two new iphone 5c's in itunes after it was "restored" from old 1phone 4; itunes shuts down as soon as the APP button in clicked. 
    All other tabs work, but as soon as the APP button is clicked, itunes shuts down.
    I have the updated version of itunes and the updated iOS software.  I shut down and restarted both the computer and phone with the same issue.
    I am able to use the APP button with the other new iphone 5c.
    Any suggestions or guidance?  Thank you!

    This is really silly but here is the soultion:
    You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder. 
    If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.  If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.

  • My iTunes shuts down at step 5 when I try to sync my new iPhone 6

    My iTunes shuts down at step 5 when I try to sync my new iPhone 6.  When I sync my iPhone 5 it has no problem at all.  I reinstalled iTunes and it is still doing the same thing.  My iPhone 6 is new out of the box today.  iTunes is fine as long as I don't sync the iPhone 6.  All my apps are current. Any suggestions?

  • Itunes shuts down every time i try to sync with my iPhone

    itunes shuts down every time i try to sync with my iPhone

    Well reading some other discussions i have found to try deauthirizing and reauthorizing, that didn't work. I guess i could remove iTunes and reinstall, but i hate to do that. Maybe I should take all the music off and sync and then try putting  it back on? Worked before i put music on there, but then there wasn't much to sync at that time. Anyone know of other possible causes that would make iTunes stop working?

  • SInce updating my iphone 5S to ios 8, iTunes shuts down during the app sync process. Any ideas how to fix? I now have the newest version of itunes on my laptop and it still shuts down.

    Since updating my iphone 5s software to ios 8, iTunes shuts down everytime in the app sync process. I have the most current version of Itunes on my laptop. Any ideas of how to fix?

    I feel its more of my sync drivers for itunes/iphone not working if that makes sense. Its not my itunes that stops responding, its more of that if the phone syncs up it fails to anything further.
    I've tried sync another iphone to the same itunes and windows autoplayer will allow the photos sorted on the iphone to be saved to the laptop but itunes won't even recongise the device is plugged in.
    Although it will charge the battery
