ITunes shuts down my laptop

I spent several hours importing my CDs into iTunes yesterday, and during that time my laptop shut off randomly four times. This is not a normal occurrence and only happens when iTunes is running. I have 47 GB of space, and my RAM is 384 MB...so that should be sufficient. Are there any fixes for this? Has anyone else had this same problem? Please help me!

are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

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

Itunes shuts down when I open store

I just updated to the newest version of iTunes for Windows. I also just updated to Windows 8.1. When I open iTunes, it works great until I open the store. I get an error message that says "iTunes has stopped working" and itunes shuts down. Any help would be appreciated
Dave

Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. No fix. I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop. As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

ITunes Shuts Down When Launching the Store

I am able to open and use iTunes normally for playing songs and playlist organization, but every time I try to launch the store iTunes shuts down completely. No error message or warning. I have not had any problmes with it in the past, and nothing has changed as far as settings or new hardware/software. As far as I can see all firewalls and anti-virus programs have been turned off, and I am able to log into other file sharing services fine. Could it be a low memory issue?
Anyone have any ideas??
All advice and help is appreciated...thanks!!
Windows XP

I am having a similar problem at home but I have found a pattern. I have itunes installed on my laptop. When I launch the store through my connection at work everything works fine - the CPU is only 60 % peaked at the worst time and this is with MS Excel, and a TV streamer working simultaneously. When I attempt to lauch the store at home on my laptop using either a wireless or a wire connection through my Xplornet satellite connection the connection freezes, my CPU is 100.0 % used. and and the system is frozen. I can still play tunes from my library but itunes is functioning very slowly.
I also frequently get a message using the help function in the program that I do not have a "secured connection to the store.
This problem just started after Xmas and I also installed the new Itunes version. Everything was perfoming fine at home with all of my computers. Now both my desktop and laptop suffer the same consequences
Like you, all of my firewall and Explorer settings are correct. Based on my opposite results and consistentcy, I therefore contend its the internet connection that appears to have some bearing on the problem. I also removed Norton from all of my systems and replaced my protection with something less greedy on my resources. Although my connection is not true high speed from a performance standpoint it is still approx. 80 - 90 times fast than an analog connection. Because I live in the country where true high speed connections don't exist, this is as good as it gets.
Check your signal strength in your internet connection. It would be appreciated if Apple could respond to my email last week. After all we are the ones prepared to buy downloaded music and we can't without getting these bugs resolved.
Should I reinstall the old Itunes version ? There is an old saying - " If it works fine - change it ! "
Thanks

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.

look at this article. The article give a link for XP.

Itunes shuts down while using

When in iTunes if I try to change info such as song name while in the music library I get a 'send error report' messege and iTunes shuts down. I acctually I don't have to change anything just click in the field and when it turns blue which indicates I can start typing I get the windows error box pop-up. This started after the update 11.1.0.126 but I just saw the problem today as I rarely need to rename a song or other data.

Try this and see if it helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Itunes shuts down when clicking anything

My iTunes shuts down when I click anything on the screen other than the music. If I click anything on the sidebar (Store, Playlists, Library, etc.) or the album artwork it shuts down. I have tried pulling all the iTunes preferences out of the library and restarting the computer. This does not fix the problem. This has been going on for a few months, but I have been downloading the newest versions of iTunes and it continues to happen.

Hey chaimoy,
It seems like you may be experiencing an unexpected quit from iTunes when importing a file into the iTunes library. I have an article for you that addresses this circumstance, and it can be found below:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

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

Downloaded videos play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down

Have downloaded 2 videos from Music Store. They work well on my new iPod 30GB, but will not play on my PC. Reasonably good spec PC - AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor, 512 RAM, 128MB Graphics RAM (nVididia GeForce fx5200)and I have no problem playing DVDs on my PC. The video clips play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down giving my a Windows error message. Any thoughts?

Since downloading the video from iTunes Music store my songs downloaded from Nusic Store will no longer play either. It prompts my to enter my password (which I have checked and changed) but they still will not play

Sleep or shut down the laptop?

Is it better to sleep or shut down the laptop? I mean in general for the laptop, not necessarily to save battery or anything. Thank you!

No need to shut down unless perhaps the laptop is going to be in a travel bag for a while.
I just close the lid to stop using; open the lid to use.
I've been doing this routine since OS X 10.0.
