My itunes is shutting off! i need help!

i recently purchased a laptop (running with windows vista) and transferred all my music and videos from my itunes on my desktop (running with windows xp) to the laptop using an external hard drive. now whenever i connect my ipod and attempt to syn it, itunes will begin to update it then either shut down (windows error message: 'itunes has been forced to shut down') or force my computer to get a blue screen about why it needs to shut down. when i turn my laptop back on a black screen comes on that says a disc needs to be checked/scanned then will cancel and i will have the option of starting my laptop in safe mode or regular. people have told me that this may be caused by a corrupt file or mp3 but i don't know how to find that file if it exists. help me please!

- For the white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
- There is a bug in iOS 5.1.1 that crashes the iPod when editing some photos
- If you get it working, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the other problems an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Toshiba satalite L305D starts then shuts off. Need help.

Basically the computer will start then about 10-20 sec later will shut off. No display what so ever. Doesnt seem like the computer is getting to POST.
Ive done my research, im just looking for some things to try.
Things Ive tried.
* Changed power adapter.
* Attached VGA to external monitor.
* Holding the power button for 60 sec without battery and AC (refresh trick)
* Replaced the entire Motherboard ( yep even that didnt work)
* Removed and Re-applied thermal paste to CPU and Heatsink.
At this point Im thinking its either the CPU not getting good air flow, or just dead or possibly a CMOS problem. I also tried to remove the CMOS battery, but its Soldered on.
Any help would be appriciated. Also, buying a new computer is not an option.

might be an air flow issue with over heating. might try to take apart the computer and give it a cleaning for dust build up. the other issue is the battery for the cmos could be shot i have had another computer that had this issue before and wouldn't start as well the cmos battery is should be sodered in, like you said. what i did is desoder it and replaced it with another sililar battery from another laptop i wasnt using i'm sure you can purchase one from amazon as well or ebay; and sodering the new on into place. hope this helps.

My iphone lock button does not work and it randomly shut off. i need help!

the lock button has not been working.. i was using my phone, put it down for like 30 seconds and wont turn back on!

Are you using a case to protect the iPhone? If you are try taking it off and seeing if the button works normally then.
If you don't have a case on the iPhone, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.
If that doesn't take care of it, the iPhone will need service.

Connect to iTunes alert (picture of iTunes logo and USB connector) - iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode
If it still won't do anything, make an appointment with Apple and be prepared to get a refurbished phone at out of warranty prices.

I'm not trying to put the music from my old ipod onto my new computer!!!! I don't really want to do that!
I would like simply to see if there is a way to put the new music from my new computer onto my old ipod without erasing all my existing music that I have on there.

Ipad not recognized by itunes; apps shut off on ipad as soon as I open them

My ipad is not recognized in iTunes, when plugged into my computer. I can't back up or sync to my computer, but I have managed to back up to icloud, I think. Applications shut off within 20 seconds of opening them on my ipad. I think I need to reset my ipad but I'm just not getting that option when I plug it in to my computer and I'm worried about whether or not the icloud backup is sufficient. Thanks!

Try some basic troubleshooting before you restore your iPad.
First close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that didn't help, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
IF you really feel that you need to restore, and maybe you will have to, try this for help with the device not being seen by iTunes.

TS4585 My phone will not turn on and when it does, it only stays on for a few minutes. The last time it said it was necessary to do a restore in itunes, but shut off again before i could read rest of warning

My phone was working fine last night. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Woke up this am to it off. It would not turn on. I tried a different charger and a different outlet. Tried several times to hold down power and volume and or the menu button. Finally, several hours later, holding the power and volume buttoon turned on the phone. Said had 1%battery, so i kept it plugged in for about 5 min. It went up to 2%. I started to look at recieved text, then it went dead again. Repeated the same steps and left it plugged in. It kept turning off. till finally, it went dim and a warning message came on to restore phone from itunes but idid not see the end of warning bc it shut off again. Now it will not turn on, but has the white apple symbol turning off and on over and over. I can not find the option to restore the phone, plus the phone is not on so the computer is not registering that its plugged in. I can not call out bc no landline and can not call tech support. Does anyone know why this is, or what to do?????????????

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

ITunes is not fixing itself need help

I cannot use iTunes on my PC using windows vista home, I cannot remove it or try to do another install. I cannot reinstall using the disk or updates to install, remove, or repair it:
Whenever I install via the download from Apple.com, the install stops midway and gives me an error message saying “There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation”.
Now when I click on my iTunes icon it says it’s configuring iTunes, and stops and says it could not write to key “\Software\Classes\.m4v” so I have no way of opening it again. And before all this happened I connected my iPod and all the songs got erased off of it.
Quicktime has been uninstalled on my computer, but only iTunes is stuck here.
Please help!!!

ok i got my iTunes back by giving myself access to all the software reg keys and clicking thru all the messages... but now my ipod won't show up on my computer or itunes... help pleaaaaaseee!!!
thanks (using vista)

Have you tried un-installing iTunes, downloading the program again from Apple, and re-installing?
It's always worth a try, as it should help you clear off anything causing the problem and start again.

Satellite A505D Randomly Shuts off...help please

hi, i recently baught a Toshiba satellite A505D....recently it has started shutting off randomly...the screen will go black and briefly display a blue screen that says that it is shutting off to protect something in the computer...does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix the problem? thank you, any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
It would be very helpful if you can give the exact error message that the computer will give before it will shutdown. Anyways, things like this can also happen if the Operating System is being corrupted or the Hard Drive is not working properly. Try to let the computer run in safe mode for a couple of minutes and observe if the same thing will happen.
Press F2 upon starting up the computer. In the Advanced Boot Options page, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit Enter key.
Hope this will help...:-)
