ITunes shuts down when trying to import from CD

I have changed every setting and gone through every help file and uninstalled/reinstalled, etc and no matter what I do, when I try to import songs from a CD to iTunes, I get the message that iTunes has encountered an error and will be shut down at which point I have the option to send or not send the error report.
Why is this happening to me? I bought an iPod for my sister for a gift last night and loved it so much I went out and bought one for myself today and now I'm a little upset the only songs I can put on them are ones I buy from the iTunes music store

hiya!
just checking ... is that a dual core or dual processor PC?
iTunes for Windows quits unexpectedly importing CDs on a dual-processor or dual-core computer
love, b

ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

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 trying to move songs onto Ipod

For the last three weeks, I have been able to open i tunes, play music from i tunes, but when i plug my i pod in to transfer new stuff (from cds and i store) i tunes gives me a message syaing that it has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
i have tried everything to get around this, but it bascially wont let me put more songs on to my i pod and forces me to close the window.
Help please!!!

now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
VERSION 5.014 --
6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
2
7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
i have no idea what you are talking about.
9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
6.0.2.23
10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
1
11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
no
12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

Why does my iMovie shut down when trying to import videos

When I am trying to import video to my library my iMovie closes and I get a "iMovie quit unexpectedly". How can I fix this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Itunes shuts down when trying to restore or look at music...

I think my ipod is corrupt. If I immediately try to view my music from my ipod, it is all greyed out, and I can't choose anything. If I click on my ipod in itunes and view its information, then I try to choose to look at music, itunes just shuts down. Also if I try to restore, itunes just shuts down, and doesn't even give me a chance to restore. I know it's because I tried to download songs off of my friends computer using his itunes, but does any one know how to fix it???? Anything will help, Thanxs a lot!!!! Adaumus

IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
Thanks

rk87,
Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

Unexpected shut down when trying to start from a osx cd or dvd

I cant startup from an osx cd or dvd. Ive even tried a norton utilities disk and I can boot in 9 but not osx. i have both original panther cds and tiger dvd. the machine has 9.2 and 10.1 and runs fine on both systems. but i cant get the install cds or dvd to work. When booting of the cd/dvd i get the gray scree with the apple and then the blue screenwith the spinning cursor the the computer shuts down. The shutdown is the fastest with the tiger dvd and longest with the panther cd.

As for firmware, check http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117.
Reset the machine's defaults. Restart the machine booting into Open Firmware (holding down these keys until you get a text screen: OPT+ CMD + O + F). Then, enter these commands, following each with hitting the return key:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
For details, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60285. Note that, although the article is an overview for network servers, "most of the information included applies broadly to all PCI Macintosh systems" and is, IMHO, their definitive guide to Open Firmware and I recommend its perusal.
If that works, you might have to reset some System Preferences.

FCP shuts down when trying to import

I recently upgraded from standard definition to high def by purchasing a sony HDR-FX7 video camera.
i adjusted all my final cut pro presets in the audio/video preset menu in accordance with m owners manuel. however. now when i try to do log and capture. final cut pro gives me the colored wheel of death, and then shuts down. please help. as this is affecting my current jobs right now

"To choose the HDV Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setup:
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup.
2 Choose the appropriate HDV Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setup from the "Setup For" pop-up menu.
3 Click OK.
Capturing HDV Video to the Apple Intermediate Codec:
Capturing HDV video is very similar to capturing DV video using the Capture Now feature. The main differences are:
The Log and Capture window is not used.
Capturing HDV video may not take place in real time because transcoding HDV frames into the Apple Intermediate Codec requires special processing steps.
To capture HDV footage to the Apple Intermediate Codec:
1 Click in the Browser to make it active, then choose File > New Bin.
2 Control-click the bin, then choose Set Logging Bin from the shortcut menu. Your captured clips will be placed in this bin.
3 Name the bin, then press Enter.
4 Choose File > Log and Capture (or press Command-8). A Capture dialog appears instead of the Log and Capture window.
5 In the Capture dialog, enter a name for the clip, then click Capture.
The capture preview window appears and the camcorder begins playing back video from its current position. The status area of the capture preview window displays the percentage of real time in which the video is being encoded from HDV to the Apple Intermediate Codec.
6 Press the Esc (Escape) key to stop capturing.
The video playback on the camcorder stops immediately. The capture preview window may lag behind, displaying where the video is in the encoding process. As these frames are processed, the status area of the capture preview window displays the percentage of frames left to process.
Note: Pressing the Esc key a second time stops the encoding process and cancels
the capture.
After the capture preview window closes, the captured clip appears in your Logging Bin."

HT1933 iTunes shut down when trying to play purchased tv show

have purchased a tv programme on iTunes and everytime I try and play it a notice comes up saying "iTunes has stopped working" and then closes the programme. Can anyone help with this?

many thanks.
Fault Module Name: QuickTime.qts
Fault Module Version: 7.66.71.0
Okay. let's first try uninstalling and reinstalling your QuickTime. We'll also take a few other explicit precautions, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet. get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
*Uninstall phase*
Head into your Uninstall a program control panel and uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
In Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Go back into your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
Right-click on the "QuickTime" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the "QuickTimeVR" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin.
*Reinstall phase*
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.
Does the QuickTime reinstall seem to go through smoothly? If so, try launching iTunes again and trying to play one of the affected videos. Do you still get the same iTunes error, or are the files playing properly now?

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:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203206
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
