HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts. It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops. Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes. I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished. Any suggestions??

ITunes Match crashes during 3rd step when uploading songs to the iCloud

Hello There,
I have just one issue with iTunes Match which causes me to be slightly skeptical, although it is such an amazing way to listen to music ect.
I have about 15000 songs and most of them were added on the iCloud, however only around 200 still needed to be added manually on the iCloud. The issue appears right after the second step where the songs starts uploading. All of a sudden iTunes just crashes and asks me to close the program.
Just to add I am using a dell desktop PC with windows 7, and everything is up to date including latest updates of the iTunes.
What can I do to sort this issue out, so the rest of my music can be added to the iCloud without having iTunes to crash during uploads?

hi,
See this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914
I have read elsewhere that some people have used match with XP successfully but they were having more and more problems with each upgrade of iTunes.
Have you tried removing the tracks that are still waiting to be matched or uploaded. There may a track that is causing the problem. Once you have removed outstanding track update imatch. If this works, gradually add the tracks back a few at a time.

ITunes keeps crashing and won't let me update to ios 5 + many more problems with iTunes

Here is alist of all my problems:
Whenever I try and sync my iPhone     to my computer it doesn’t work and then my iTunes crashes, there are no     error messages it just freezes and crashes.
After I have done this my iTunes     doesn’t even open and crashes strait away.
My iTunes also crashes     sometimes when I am just trying to move from (for example) music to     movies.
My iTunes also refuses to     access iTunes store (no errors it just doesn’t work).
Sometimes I can get past the     backup issue by cancelling the back up and letting it sync, but no it won’t     even let me do that it freezes and crashes before it can even transfer my purchases.
All thishappens if I can even open up my iTunes.
I amcurrently running ios 4.3.4 as I can even update to ios 5 I am running (tryingto) iTunes 10.5.
I have trieduninstalling and reinstalling iTunes about a 1000 time and it hasn’t doneanything (done as instructed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923). I havebeen trough tones of pages on the community and on the other support pages thatapple has but I have found no answers. I have also tried to install an olderversion of iTunes but it just comes up with an error message saying all myfiles are configured to iTunes 10.5 and noting work on that either.
This hasbeen going on for ages and I know there is a lot to deal with in this post butplease if anyone has any ideas, knows, or has dealt with any of the above please help.
Thank you

I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

Windows doesn't recognize Ipod and causes iTunes to Crash. . HELP!!

Hi,
Recently, I plugged in my ipod (30GB Photo) to my computer (running windows XP with SP2) and it caused itunes to crash. I rebooted the machine and tried again and the same thing has happened. I've spent the past day trying to fix it. I have done the following things and nothing has worked:
-reset my IPOD
-formated my IPOD (erased all the songs)
-uninstalled and reinstalled ITUNES & QUICKTIME
-tried to reinstall the ipod on the computer using the original cd.
-disabled startup items to check if anything has been conflicting
-tried all the usb ports on my computer and 2 different wires
I don't know what else to do! I don't think the ipod is formatted for windows anymore (is that possible?) and whenever I try plugging it in, iTunes freezes up until I unplug the ipod. As well, Explorer recognizes it as a "Removable Disk" not IPOD.
Please helpppppp! Thank you sooo much

Hi there
You're pretty much describing a problem I had yesterday.
I've got the 2gb model and initially it was working fine. I run off a 4 port usb hub with other equipment running as well.
Everything was okay but I kept getting a balloon telling me that usb 2.0 would be faster, so I routed my extension cable directly to a usb 2.0 port on my computer and all of what you describe started.
The PC showed my nano as a removeable drive but could not be acesssed. If I managed to get it recognised in itunes (took forever) then it just said it was corrupted and was unable to restore.
After much cursing and trawling the internet for answers, I gave up and put the cable back to the hub.
And.....everything worked again !!
I can only conclude that my hub (quite old) does not work on usb 2.0, or putting the extension cable (5m) straight into my PC causes a power drop / signal loss ??
Are you using an extension cable or a hub? something to try.
Good luck anyway
Regards

ITunes 11 Crashes When Attempting to Sync Podcasts

My two computers, a Mini and a MacBook both run Snow Leopard (10.6.8) so I can continue to use Photoshop CS3. I made the horrible mistake of "upgrading" to iTunes 11.1.1 at Apple's suggestion. While I agree with many of the aesthetic and functional complaints I've read on this forum, my issue is more serious. When I attempt to sync new podcasts iTunes immediately crashes. Specifically when I attach any of my four functioning iPods, ranging from 3rd Gen to 7th, the device comes up on the File page, the Summary page opens correctly and so does Music. But when I select Podcasts I immediately get the dreaded spinning beach ball of death and iTunes in my open Force Quit window turns red. Force quit is the only way out. I've "upgraded" to 11.1.2 and now 11.1.3 with the same results. I have sent in dozens of crash reports to Apple and have written the iTunes guy at MacWorld with no response from either. My crash reports are no longer polite though I'm aware the person reading the reports is not responsible for releasing this buggy mess.
I have Time Machine and was able to install an older version of the application,10.6, but was unable to regress the iTunes library so now the app is incompatible with the library which is apparently permanently changed, even with Time Machine. Installing 11 also wiped out 6 years of carefully archived podcasts, many of which are no longer available at the iTunes Store.
Any suggestions are welcome. If I absolutely have to I guess I'd be willing to install Mavericks on the MacBook if I knew that would solve the iTunes issues but I resent that I have to do so. I have been a loyal Mac fan since 1984 but now that Apple is fat and happy it looks like it's going to replace Microsoft as the company with the black hat.

As I said that was a Test.
Now we know that iPhoto is sound, as is the Phone, it's the other Library that's damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
However : Library Manager has not been fully updated to work with 11 yet. So, best to wait until Wednesday (when the release is due) to do this step.

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas?

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas? I am running Windows 7 on a new, decent, laptop. The music is on the laptop's hard drive. There is plenty of hard drive space left.
iTunes starts fine, and I can do stuff, then within a minute or two or three it gives me an error message pop-up.

The error message says:

I've chosen both items, neither does anything but close the program. This problem is new with iTunes 10.5; I did not have it before.

Why does Itunes always crash when exiting?

I have 10.5 installed on Windows 7 64 bit. Almost everytime I exit itunes it crashes and I have to constantly go to the task manager to close it.
I've tried reinstalling but it doesn't seem to be helping. Help plz?

I have read the using itunes in safe mode (pressing CTRL+SHIFT when you open it) helps the problem, although this is not a long term solution. If using itunes in safe mode does stop the problem, then there must be a 3rd party application that is causing the crash. I have turned off all non essential start up programs (through MSCONFIG) to see if that also helps, but haven't had the chance to test it out properly yet. I will let you know how I get on.

ITunes is crashing my computer

Hi, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my problem. My laptop crashes everytime I open iTunes. Once iTunes load, my computer starts to lag pretty bad until it totally crashes. The only thing I could do is to hold my laptop's power button until it completely shuts down. I'm using a Vaio VPCEA12EG, running on Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit.
iTunes used to work just fine on my laptop. I just started to notice this problem when I played an mp3 song one day, prompting it to load on iTunes, thus crashing my computer. Once it crashed, I thought that maybe it was just an isolated case since it was just the first time it happened. Then, a few days later, I plugged in my sister's iPod shuffle. It then crashed my computer again for loading iTunes. My sister was resquesting for me to load songs on her iPod so I was forced to keep trying, and much to my surprise, iTunes kept on crashing my computer.
I tried uninstalling iTunes (trying uninstall-install method), but it also ends up crashing my laptop. It just gets stuck on "Configuring iTunes. 31 seconds remaining." So basically, I CAN'T uninstall iTunes from my system. I'm planning to get an iPhone 4 soon and I can't afford not to be able to use iTunes on my own laptop.
Here's a summarized background of my problem:
1. iTunes used to work on my laptop.
2. One day, it just stopped working. iTunes crashes my computer everytime I try to use it:
*When I double-click/open the program.
*When I sync an Apple product.
*When I open a music file with iTunes.
3. The only thing I could do after iTunes crashes my computer is to hold the power button until my computer completely shuts off.
4. I tried uninstalling it, but it ALSO crashes my computer. Bottomline, I couldn't remove iTunes from my computer.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? I hope someone can help me with this problem. I'm at my wits end as I can't even uninstall iTunes from my system. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, mtglenwright. I was able to solve this problem. What I did was I uninstalled iTunes, then installed it again. But the catch is that it always crash the computer, right? What worked for me is that I LEFT THE COMPUTER ALONE UNTIL IT FINISHED THE UNINSTALLING.
Follow the order in this guide:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
The important thing is that you should leave your computer alone until it finishes each process. For example, when you click uninstall, just leave your computer alone until it finishes! As in DO NOT USE YOUR COMPUTER FOR ANYTHING. Do not use it to surf the net, do not use it to play solitaire, do not even move your mouse! It will take a LONG time. I actually left my computer overnight. When I woke up, I saw that it was able to uninstall iTunes! If you use your computer while you are uninstalling iTunes, your computer will most likely crash. I suggest that you do this at night when you absolutely don't need to use your computer for anything.
Anyway, this is what worked for me. I hope it will also work on your computer. Good luck!

My itunes u crashes every time i try to switch to the library.

My itunes u crashes every time i try to switch to the library. It automatically opens one course everytime i go in, but when i try to flick back to the library page it crashes.
