Quits out any time I play a song or video.

I go an double-click on a song and it starts to play. But Windows pops up with it's "iTunes has commited an illegal action" window and I have 2 options of send error report or don't send. Either way, iTunes will die.
The same happens when I go to try and play a video.
I've tried reinstalling and that didn't work.
Anybody have an idea on how to fix this problem?

hi DaMang!
sadly, no luck. would it help to clear out my
library from iTunes (still keeping it on my
copmputer)?
... that would be even more experimental than the
last thing we tried. let's try to get some more help
with this one. we'll generate a crash log and send it
to someone who can interpret crash logs.
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.)
play a song in itunes, collect the crash log, and send it to this email
address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes
that you're using. (go into your "Help > About
iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person
who gets the email has some context, but also give as
much information about the context of the crashing as
you can.
love, b
the dr. watson folder is never created. i have no idea why.

  • Laptop asks to be reauthorized every time I play certain songs

    Laptop asks to be reauthorized each time I play certain songs even thoug ther were purchased from iTune

    Dittos here. I've had my iPod since May. Everything worked fine until the most recent iPod Firmware update.
    Specifically, MP3 podcast files from Manager-Tools.com cause reboot of the IPOD when in UNREAD state. If played (even 3 sec.) in iTunes prior to sync, they play fine; if reset in iTunes to UNREAD they again cause the a reboot in my iPod! Other podcast MP3 files are fine. All downloaded and administered via iTunes 7 (latest release). iPod debugger shows no errors. BTW: I have been unable to restore to the prior update.
    Suggestions?

  • How do I get my music to quit scrolling and stop and play a song?

    How do I get my music to quit scrolling and stop and play a song?

    Basically it means that the files are not on the location where iTunes is expecting to be.
    What you can do is remove those songs from you playlist, then try to locate them on your harddisk again, and then in iTunes you can choose file > Add folder to Library... , specify the location where you found them and they will be added again.

  • On the new iTunes, where do I see the number of times I played a song?

    Hi everyone,
    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes (11.0.0.163), and it looks really nice, but I can't see the number of times I played a song, or the last time I played a song. Is there a way to show them again?
    Thank you for helping me :-)

    Two ways,
    1- Right Click a Song  and Click Get Info and there on the Summary Tab is Plays which shows how many times you played a Song
    2- While in the Songs Listview - Right Click on the Columns (where it says Time, Name, Artist etc etc ) and select from that long list, Plays. this will add a new column which will show how many times you played a Song

  • Is there any way to play all songs in a playlist folder on an iPod/iPhone?

    iTunes allows you to play all songs from a specific playlist folder, but so far I haven't figured out a way to do that on my iPhone (4s, 32gb). Is there a way?

    I agree that it seems crazy that this can't be done on an iPhone.
    Here is the best work around I have found so far.
    (It's much quicker and easier to do than to describe.)
    In outline, you make an elementary Automator patch
    that uses your playlist folder to create a hard coded playlist on iTunes
    then just sync across to your iPhone.
    1/ Run Automator on your Mac.
    2/ In the Automator library select 'Music'.
    3/ Under Actions for 'Music' select "Get specified iTunes items" and drag this into the workflow area.
    4/ Using the  "Get specified iTunes items" widget  in the workflow area, press the "add" button.
    5/ This allows you to choose from a menu that will include your playlist folder.
    6/ Now under Actions for Music select "Add songs to playlist" and drag this into the workflow area
        so that the results of the first widget will feed into it.
    7/ In the  "Add songs to playlist" widget choose "New playlist". Then enter any name for your new playlist.
    8/ Run the patch (takes a fraction of a second).
    9/ Sync generated playlist to iphone.
    Job done.

  • My iTunes unexpectedly quits everytime I try to play a song.

    From the second I downloaded the newest version of iTunes this problem has occured, I can open iTunes, and it will stay open for as long as desired UNTIL I try to play a song, at which point it unexpectedly quits. My friend is having the same problem with the new version. I'm running it on my 1.2 ghz iBook, operating on mac osx 10.3.9, so anyone help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Possible solution: Since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.2, it crashed anytime I tried to play a song, no matter where it came from (CD, MP3, network, iTMS …).
    I removed everything from the library/iTunes/iTunes Plg-Ins folder, and now it works. I had a new version of Volume logic installed. Seems it did not like iTunes 6.0.2.

    Hello Boris73
    Try deleting the tracks from your iTunes library and then downloading them again to test the playback. If it continues, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • Whenever I click on a song in my itunes library an exclamation point appears and I am no longer able to play this song or video why does this keep happening and what can I do to fix it?

    Whenever I click on a song or video in my library and I try to play it, and exclamation point immediately pops up and it tells me that my song or video's origional file cannot be located. It has happened to over 100 of my songs and I would like to know what is happening and what I can do to fix it. Let me know. Thanks!

    The usual explanation for this is that:
    1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
    2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
    If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.

  • In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end.  I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

    I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track.  I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
    I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list.  I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step.  On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
    Thanks!

    On the IPod if the shuffle icon is colored blue it is ON, if it is colored white it is OFF. This control is global, if it is ON any album or list will be shuffled.

  • Taking a long time to play a song

    My iPod Classic 160Gb is doing something new.
    I can be listening to some tracks and it will be playing away normally and then a song will end and the next song will be about to play but it just sits there at 0:00 time and takes 20 seconds before the track starts playing. It only does this infrequently.
    Do you think my iPod classic Hard Drive is on the way out? Or could be be a software issue?
    Is it best to Restore? Or arrange a repair?

    Can't tell you the exact time, but over USB 2.0 it should be maybe a minute or so. Certainly no more than a couple of minutes.

  • IPod Song skips to end, freezes for a time, then plays next song

    Name pretty much explains everything
    certain songs on my iPod (so far, all by 1 band), will play the beginning, then when the song is about 20% done, it will skip to the last 2 seconds of the song and just stop for a while (i think it stops at 2 seconds for the same length that it skipped), then it will play the next song and it repeats
    ive tried restoring my iPod, but it didnt work
    any ideas?

    So what changed on your computer or iPod since it played correctly?
    Can you right click on one of the songs in iTunes, select Get Info, and copy the results and paste them here?
