ITunes stops working when I try to import missing music files

I don't know why, but every time I try to import missing music files into iTunes, a pop up suddenly comes up saying iTunes has stopped working. Does anybody know if it may just be a bug in the program or anything like that? Because of this, I am now having to manually reimport the missing files which takes forever!! Please help!!.

  • My itunes stops working when i try to add a music file to the library. how do i fix this?

    when I open iTunes and try to add a music file to my library from my computer, I slecet the song and click open and then it just comes up with the error message saying that iTunes has stopped woking and closes the program... ive tried everything- uninstalling and reinstalling the program and even disabling my antivirus software. I have no other ideas about how to fix this?

    If you are still having this problem, the fix below takes care of it.  It was posted in another conversation by Sony Singh. I did it, rebooted, and all works!!
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Hope this helps or you've already done the fix, especially since you posted in October.

  • Itunes stops working when I try to upload CD

    Itunes stops working when I go to type in info on audio cd file prior to download

    Ah... interesting. I do have errors in the event log for the Bonjour service for all of the times that I have tried to connect (8 for every time I try to connect). They are on the Vista machine and it says : XXX: ERROR: read_msg errno 10054 (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)
    The XXX is different number for each of the 8 and includes: 488, 480,476, 472, 468, 464, 460, and 452.
    It also has an application error for itunes:
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 9.2.1.5, time stamp 0x4c47745b, faulting module iTunes.dll, version 9.2.1.5, time stamp 0x4c477437, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0040efa0, process id 0x12b0, application start time 0x01cb2f69002ea6c0.
    So I tried to restart and start Bonjour and that didn't help. I have rebooted and that didn't help either.

  • LR3 64 bit stops working when I try to import photos

    I recently installed, uninstalled and re-installed LR3 and in my opinion it SUCKS! Every time I try to import photos the program stalls and quits responding. It eventually (after several minutes) gives me a message that "Lightroom has stopped working and will close." When I installed it, I created a new catalog and did NOT upgrade my existing LR2 catalogs so there shouldn't be any cross contamination with older file metadata as suggested in other posts. Has anyone else experienced this problem? My OS: Windows Vista 64-bit, 8GB RAM. I didn't have any problems with LR2, nor do I recall this being a problem with LR3-beta. Needless to say....I am NOT happy at the moment!!!!

    I had this problem with LR2, seemed to work Ok but when I was downloading Photos it would crash, ended up being a bad MB for me and this happened to me a second time as well and found out the processor wasn't Seated correctly, it was heating up, re-seated it an NP since!
    I'm not a Geek and know very little about this stuff, the first time I had a problem with this I took my puter to the local Micro-Center store, my brother builds, upgrades my puters for me and the parts came from Micro-Center, they diagnosed the Bad MB (Gigabyte) and replaced it for free and my brother spotted the heating problem with the MB! I think in this incident I got a bigger power supply and new fan?
    Don't know if this is your problem or not? Just trying to help, I had no other problems except for when downloading Photo's, does this take extra processing power?

  • Why does iTunes stop working when I try to type the album name in to submit cd track names?

    I have a cd that I'm trying to separate, but whenever I try to type the album name in the submit CD track names box, iTunes freezes, then quits working. Why is it doing this and what can I do to stop it?

    Does it happen for any slideshow? Or only for one slideshow with certain images?
    Does iPhoto also freeze for a new iPhoto library, if you create a new library with some test images?
    If iPhoto only freezes for a certain slideshow, check, if it is one of the photos or videos, that is making the slideshow freeze. Create a new slideshow and add the images one by one, to fnd the one, that cannot be played. Remove it.
    If iPhoto only freezes with all slideshows in your current library, repair your iPhoto library. It may have been migrated with permission issues. How did you restore the library, after you wiped your mac and clean-installed?
    To repair the library using the First Aid Tools, see Old Toad's post here: Rebuild iPhoto Library, Version 11, see "Fix 1". In your case, I'd start with Repair Permission, the Repair database. Apply the other fixes, if need be.
    Post back, if the repair does not help.

  • Itunes stops working when copying apps during Sync

    Hi I am using Itunes 12.01.26 on a Windows 7 PC
    My library is saved on a nas server and the network drive is mapped.
    I have an ipod 5 and Iphone 5s
    Up until october this configuration has works a treat however since about October I have had difficulting in Syncing.
    I cannot sync my music  - everything i try fails so as a last resort i have tried to restore my devices.
    Itunes stops working when it gets to the stage of copying the apps.
    I have read a suggested solution to move the library to the local C drive but this does not seem to be reasonable solution particularly as my library is large.

    Same problem here with Win 7 64 bit & iphone 4.  It all started a few weeks ago with itunes upgrade 10.4.8.   After about 20 hours wasted time, uninstalling and re-insstalling all Apple products in the suggested order as suggested on another forum.  Still had the same problem.  Will sync fine until I check the "videos" tic box.  Itunes stops working in the step of "optimizing photos" (????).  If I go back and uncheck "videos" tic box, iphone4 will sync just fine.  BUT now all my videos previously on my iphone are on the PC.  I would like them back on my phone! 
    I gave up and went to the Apple Store to visit with a Genius.  Took my PC and everything with me.  It was not from lack of trying, she did all the same stuff I did and checked everything over.  Could not fix it.  She said it appeared everything on my PC was set corrrectly and the problem was probably with itunes.  Said she always waits a little while when updates come out to make sure there are not bugs before putting them on her stuff.  Lesson learned.
    I hope with Steve Jobs gone, this is not the future of Apple

  • When i sync my phone itunes stops working when optimizing my photos.  why

    when i plug in my phone to my computor to sync, itunes stops working when it gets to step 5 optimizing my photos .  why?

    Did you try to delete teh photo chache? Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
    Is there enough free space left on the phone? iTunes needs up to 4x the space to sync the photos than the actual size of the photos to be copied to the phone.
