Itunes shuts down on optimizing photos during sync

Hello
So when I connect my iPad it begins to sync and it goes through steps 1-5 with no problem. when it gets to step 6 it says it is optimizing photos 1-17 and every time it gets to number 13 or 14 windows dialog shows up and says itunes has to close because of a problem...
This started happening about a week ago and I have yet to find a solution ??
On a side note, I have had every iPhone and never had a problem downloading the updates for it until I got my iPhone 4, and now when I want an update I have to take it to the apple store...any help here I would love too...THANK YOU to ALL !!

I'm having the exact same problem with my 3GS! I had this problem before and it was caused by videos from another camera. This time it's not the case. I didn't have this problem until the update. I called apple care and wasn't much help at all. They of course blamed it on my PC. So frustrating!! So is the recommendation to delete the photo cache from my PC?

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.

My iTunes shuts down when I try to sync my iPad

Just took out the book from the library "Sams Teach Yourself itunes 10 in 10 minutes" by Brad Miser.
Basics for problems syncing:
-restart computer
-make sure device is not out if power
-try a different usb port...BTW....I contaminated a usb port by someone spilling drink on the usb port end of my ipod cord...bad...
-run apple's web-based device assistant

ITunes shuts down Windows 7 RTM during CD conversion

Hi everyone,
I just updated my laptop to Windows 7 RTM (legal copy). I did a clean install. My iTunes library is on a network drive. Things worked fine under Vista, but now whenever I start doing a CD conversion to Apple lossless, sometime during the conversion process, Windows 7 just stops working. Windows doesn't do a normal shutdown, it just basically turns off my laptop (see error message below). I'm running on an HP NW8000 mobile workstation.
The actual shutdown was caused by:
The system was shut down due to a critical thermal event.
Shutdown Time = 2009-08-14T22:39:22.835620800Z
ACPI Thermal Zone = ACPI\ThermalZone\TZ1_
However, as I stated above, the system runs all day until I start a CD conversion, and this never happened under Vista or XP on the same machine, even when running iTunes.
During boot I also get the following error message:
The description for Event ID 0 from source iPod Service cannot be found.
Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local
computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the
component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to
be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Service started
I don't know if this is realted to the problem I'm having. I wasn't sure at first it was iTunes, but everytime I've started converting a CD, this happens. My computer ran all day until I came home and started a CD conversion.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes. I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down. The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again. If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

My iTunes shuts down when I try to sync my itouch

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 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.

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 shut down when trying to change photo setting

I just bought a new 30GB iPod on Wed and also had to d/l the new itunes. Everything snycs well, music, video, but when i try change the default photo settings iTunes shuts down. The defaut setting is for the photos to be in the Photoshop album folder. I dont have Photoshop, and everytime i try to change the photo folder it shuts down.
Anyone else have this problem?

Its the error message that says that iTunes experienced an error or something and nees to close
okay. i haven't had a lot of dealings with that message in that context with a 7.0.x. (troubleshooting techniques for it differ depending on what you are doing with itunes when itunes throws it at you.)
so (when you get home) let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

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.

To enter recover mode:
1. Turn your phone OFF. If you can't turn it off, FORCE a turn off by holding down the Power and the Home buttons together for 5 seconds.
2. While your phone is turned OFF, HOLD DOWN the Home button. Keep it held down.
3. Connect your phone to the USB cable on your computer. KEEP the Home button held down during all this time.
4. Keep holding the Home button down until you see the iTunes/restore screens appear on your computer and your iPhone.
