Itunes shuts down when loading music to ipod Touch

I just bought a new PC running Windows 7. Everything is set up correctly in iTunes. When I first synced the iPod Touch it loaded about a third of my music before I got an error message saying iTunes had stopped working and needed to shut down. Now, as soon as it tries to load the music, iTunes stops working again and I have to shut it down. It's always at the point where iTunes attempts to load the music (not at the start of the sync process).

I've solved it. I was using a 3rd party USB cable, which wasn't playing nicely with the iPod. As soon as I used the proper cable it worked perfectly. Apologies to Apple and shame on you Logic3 for making crappy cables!

  • ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

    I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
    I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
    There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.

    Can somebody please help me?

    A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
    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.

  • ITunes Shuts Down when Loading Videos

    I have a 120 gig iPod Classic, and just recently I started having problems with it. Now whenever I try to load a movie from iTunes to my iPod, iTunes shuts down right when the video is almost done loading onto my iPod. I have no problems with music, or even when I load videos from another computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    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 when I connect my IPod

    Hello to all.
    Everytime I connect my IPod to my PC, iTunes shuts down. If I disconnect the IPod, I can use iTunes. What happened? I already installed the newest software. The problem is new for me, some days ago I could use ITunes normally with my IPod. The second problem is, that I cant see and hear my music, which is still on my IPod. This problem exists since I got the problem with iTunes.

    I would uninstall the ipod and itunes software, reboot and then reinstall it all.

  • ITunes shuts down when attempting to sync iPod nano (4th gen)

    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes8, I haven't been able to sync my iPod nano.
    When I plug the nano into my laptop, iTunes pops up as usual, but then immediately stops working. A box reading: itunes has stopped working pops up, then the program closes automatically.
    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, resetting the iPod and trying to restore the iPod to get new stuff on it, but iTunes just shut down again as it was starting to restore the iPod.
    SO- I have lost everything on my iPod-- I can't use it for anything! It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do at this point!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

  • Why does iTunes shut down when playing music but not using computer, why does iTunes shut down when playing music but not using computer

    Hi Everybody
    When I use my macbook pro running lion 10.7.2 to play music through itunes it shuts down after about 2 minutes, is there anything I can set to keep the itunes open and playing when  not in use, this problem only started when I updated from snow loepard to lion.
    Thanks

    Hi Limnos
    I have tried that but it makes no difference at all, the only way I have found to get continues sound is to open and set a keynote presentation onto play and dimmed the screen using the function key and adjusting it manually so as not to kicker my screen, there must be an easier way than this.
    Thanks for trying

  • Itunes shuts down when I connect my ipod video

    I have a ipod video 60gb (the one right before they released the 80gb). I recently had to reinstall OS 10.4 due to freezing issues. Well, it still freezes, and it froze during the re-sync of the ipod and I had to reboot the ipod cause I had to reboot the computer. Now whenever I connect the ipod, it is recognized by the CPU, but whenever Itunes starts up with the ipod connected, it just shuts right down.

  • Computer shuts down when I connect my Ipod Touch to it.

    Each time I go to connect my Ipod touch to my computer, I get the blue screen of death appear on my computer with a huge error message and then it shuts down, 'To protect itself'
    I have tried to connect my Ipod Nano and thats fine, works no problems.
    I have followed various advice notes from Apple with no joy of sorting the problem out.

    I've been having the same issue with my 2nd gen itouch. My computer would crash and show a blue screen after I connected my itouch. My other IPODS would work fine. After unistalling/reinstalling several times, restoring my computer to an earlier date, and updating all usb drivers, I was still having my computer crash with my itouch. If you have a webcam, type in the following in the search support: What to do when Windows XP or Vista computer displays a blue screen error message when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch.
    I solved my issue with solution one. My itouch is connecting fine without any crashes, for now. Hope this solves your issue.

  • Itunes keeps shutting down when I connect my IPod Classic

    Itunes shuts down whenever I connect my IPOD classic  and sync attempts to start.  I have had this IPod for several years and I have had Windows 7 for over 6 months.  I am trying to update versions, but I get an error message with that also.I have also seen posts on Microsoft and they aren't helpful.....I have seen many posts on Itunes also regarding same issue. What is up when the company will not fix their problems with the products?

    I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times.   Finally, I found some other helpful hints.  I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod).  That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes.  Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go.  When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!

  • 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:
