  • Itunes keeps shutting down when I try and play movie

    Itunes keeps crashing when I try and watch movie I have downloaded

    How did you get the songs on you iPad? My library contains over 18,000 songs in it and I have a portable hard drive that I use as a back up, not only for my music but for everything else on my computer. I accidentally deleted my library once and had to restore everything from scratch, so I learned to back everything up so in case the computer bites the dust, everything is on a portable drive, which I also take with me when I leave the house so also in case of a robbery and the computers are stolen, I have everything that is on them.

  • ITunes shuts down when I try to play video

    Every time I try to open a TV show or movie on my iTunes, a window pops up that says "iTunes has stopped working."
    And then it shuts down. Anyone have any crafty solutions for me? Is it my fault? Did I anger the gremlins, or do I just need to download something?

    Correction: Movies play just fine. Apparently it's only the tv shows that kill my iTunes. Any help is much appreciated.

  • ITunes shuts down when I try to purchase songs

    When I click "buy album" it connects to the store, and then iTunes shuts down. It also shuts down when I try to "check for purchases." I am running the newest version of iTunes. It also did this with my previous version.
    Real Player also shuts down, when I download videos.
    I have re-installed both iTunes and real player around 5 times. So that will not help.

  • TS1717 iTunes stops and shuts down when I try to play a purchased music video clip, any ideas on how to fix.

    Has anybody had this and know a fix?
    I try to play a purchased music video clip and iTunes shuts down or windows 7 shuts it down as an unexpected error.
    This only started when I updated to 10.7.
    re-loaded, reset, repaired.
    Still no go.
    Thanks

  • I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

    I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

    from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update. 

  • Itunes shuts down when I try to select apps tab for Iphone 5

    Iphone 5

    Itunes 11.1
    When I try to manage my apps in itunes, itunes shuts down as soon as I click the apps tab.  Everything else syncs just fine. What's the fix?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Computer shuts down when importing CDs and playing video

    When in iTunes, my computer completely shuts off a couple mintues in when trying to import a CD or play video. I have asked around and reinstalled and nothing seems to help. Any ideas! Very frustrating.

    I just started having the same problem. I was able to import songs from 5 cds with no problem, but when I tried a few more my mac started shutting down about halfway through the import of the song. It doesn't matter how many songs I choose to import, it happens on the first one everytime. Did you find a fix for this?

  • 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.

  • Why does iTunes shut down when i try to access the store?

    My iTunes has worked fine for many years but recently it started shutting down as soon as i clicked the Store, Match or Ping link.

    Just deleting and reinstalling the software won't delete your music. Your music is stored on your computer. But, you should backup your iTunes purchases on a timely basis regardless.
