Kernel crash when iTunes is open

On my work Quad - whenever iTunes is running for more than a couple minutes the computer kernel crashes. I've trashed all relating files (I think) to iTunes, (app, library, prefs). Repaired permissions, reinstalled from download & factory disk. Same thing. Please help. Thank you.

Thanks for this, I just wrote a reply on the other thread too. I'm very grateful for that.
In my case there was no grey screen, just the sudden freeze (no beachball, nothing) -- the computer is working fine one moment and then instantly moves to a state where the mouse pointer doesn't move, keyboard doesn't do anthing, flashing cursor in the clock stops, and the only thing to resolve this is the power button. I don't know the technical term for this -- somebody told me 'hard crash' might be the term.
I'm wondering how to avoid this happening. It actually happens MORE frequently than the ominous grey screen saying 'You need to restart'. It's more common on the laptop than on the G5, though.
Thanks again.

  • PC Crashes when iTunes is open

    Hi there.
    I am using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
    I have iTunes 9 and whenever I open iTunes, my computer freezes. This does not always happens when I first open iTunes - sometimes it happens after I have it open for a while.
    Can anyone help me out?

    FYI : I have downloaded and am using the 64-bit of iTunes.

  • Inserting music cd when itunes is open causes instant reboot

    When itunes is open and I insert a music cd with .cda files on it the computer instantly reboots. It reads and plays back the files fine on other players, but obviously this is no helpful if I want to import into the itunes library.
    I found some posts with similar problems but no solutions posted. Any ideas? Please let me know if I can supply some more info to help find the solution.
    BTW I upgraded the itunes today, but problem remains.

  • Word Crashes when trying to open file from network

    This is a very similar issue like this thread
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sv-FI/officeitpro/thread/95bc7898-e92d-4e47-8f73-390dba53e851 I cannot open any document from any network share, mapped drive or network place- Word Immediately crashes saying "Microsoft Word has stopped working",
    tries to find a solution and then closes. This can be caused by any means of access the file- directly double clicking from explorer or using the Open command in word, it even crashes when using the Open command, and then just clicking once on a
    mapped drive or Network header.
    I can however copy any file from the network to the local machine and it opens fine. I have tried (With no change in symptoms):
    Safe mode (word), remove & recreate normal templates, repair office, uninstall-reinstall office, updated all updates, disabled offline files, removed protected view settings, trusted network documents, disabled auto-save, virus scans (SEP, Malwarebytes,
    TDSSKiller), system restore to 2 weeks ago- prior to when user said issued started, reinstalled & updated again after restore, and many other things I can't think of right now.
    I have tried to run procmon.exe from sysinternals but get a message saying that "c:\windows\system32\fltlib.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again......"
    I tried the instruction on the linked topic above to create a dump file, but no file was created.
    This is only happening on one workstation on the network. Win7Pro, x64, Office 2010 Standard.
    I am at my wits end, and need some help!

    I have replaced the fltlib.dll file and am now able to run procmon, I also have run sfc /scannow which says it found corrupt files but was not able to repair them. When trying to view the files that need to be fixed it says that sfcdetails.txt cannot be
    opened. If I run the same command with out the destination of desktop/sfcdetails.txt, then it displays the files in the cmd window, but there are what to appear to be hunderds of files.
    I have both logs (procmon & sfc) but they only make partial sense to me. And I still cannot open office files from a network location.

    Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved.  It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    Since the os7 update on my iPad, my safari is not right, it only opens one page at a time, crashes when trying to open more, it has no back button. Help

    Well, I rebuilt the entire workbook... that was a few months ago and so far, the problem hasn't resurfaced. It really wasn't fun to do, but whatever glitch there was in the file, I eliminated it.
    I think I should mention that I am using Office v.X, NOT Office 2004. I got a new Intel iMac this week and yesterday when I opened up my files, it opened up the test drive (a JOKE of a program if you ask me) Anyway, some of the very minor issues I had with Office v.X were solved in the 2004 version. (When opening up large multi worksheet files without Excel being already opened, the tabs have white text) Anyway, I am still going to wait for the universal version to come out, but it seems that the newer versions may have fewer glitches (as is to be expected)
    At any rate, best of luck to you!

  • Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Crashes When Attempting to Open PDF Form

    OS: Win XP Pro SP3
    The  machine worked fine until Acrobat updated itself to 9.4.4 then the  problem started.  Crashes when attempting to open most PDF Forms - even  when freshly rebooted or repaired.  I originally thought it was related  to a browser or Outlook 2007, but later found that it does it under all  circumstances.  It is my General Manager's machine having the problem,  so I need to get this resolved ASAP.  Your experience and assistance is  much appreciated.
    My temporary fix was to uninstall 9.4.4 - Install 9.0  and turn off automatic updates - worked beautifully.  It would be nice to get to the bottom of this so we can update our CS4 products.
    Another user reported this problem on May 16, 2011 and no one has replied to his post.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Crashing when trying to open a project / forgetting where media files are

    I spent all day manually locating hundreds of missing 'offline media' in a project, saving as I went. Premier Elements crashed when this was complete, now I try to open the project after rebooting and it either cannot find them again or crashes when trying to open the project. Anyone got any clues as to how I can fix this?

    alex peatfield
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    How long has this issue existed?
    Are you moving, deleting, renaming files and folders that go into a project after the project has been saved closed?
    If you have source media stored on an external hard drive, determine if the external hard drive is malfunctioning, including if its drive letter
    changing.
    Lots of drill questions...
    a. Running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    b. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
    c. What are your computer resources and is your computer optimized?
    d. What are the properties of your source media that are involved in this issue?
    e. Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at those locations?
    f. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • IPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process

    OS: Win XP pro with service pack 3 32bit
    iPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process. System says that they can't run module. iTunes is run but work incorrect (for example I can't postpone my purchases from the phone to iTunes). I think that the problem of incompatibility of iPodService module with Servise Pack 3.

    I am having the same problem. I am running Windows XP SP3. I got the same message about not being able to start the iPodService. It offered me the chance to ignore the problem so I did. Big mistake. iTunes seemed to work ok until I tried to upgrade to OS 4.1 on my iPhone. Apparently the service was needed for that because the ugrade failed and my iPhone is completely hosed. I can't use it at all.
    I uninstalled iTunes 10 and tried to find iTunes 9.2.1 on the Apple site but can not find it anywhere. I can only find the Mac version. I found the Windows version of 9.1.1 iTunes. So I downloaded and installed it.
    When I started iTunes 9.1.1 it complained that the library file was created with a later version of iTunes (makes sense because I had version 10 installed). So I deleted all the itl files. This blew away my library of course which ***** but I figured I could recreate it.
    So when I hooked my iPhone up, I tried to do a restore on it so I could get my iPhone going again. No luck. I got a message saying that it rquires at least iTunes 9.2.1.
    So now I am COMPLETELY SCREWED. My iPhone is dead in the water. My iTunes library is gone. And I see no way forward.
    iTunes 9.1.1 won't work for restoring my dead iPhone
    iTunes 9.2.1 for windows cannot be found anywhere on the apple site as far as I an tell. (would love to be proven wrong on this!)
    iTunes 10 won't install on my machine.
    I looked at the system event messages in windows XP. In the application events I see:
    Faulting application ipodservice.exe, version 10.0.0.68, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5755, fault address 0x0001b21a.
    and
    Product: iTunes -- Error 1920. Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    In the System events I see:
    The iPod Service service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    In the security events I see no errors or warnings, just info messages. None seem to be related to the iPhone or iTunes.
    I disabled my Symantec Firewall and Antivirus. Did not seem to help the iTunes install. I'm gonna try again just to make sure
