Synching IPod shuts down ITunes?

When I sync my 30gb classic Ipod ITunes shuts down saying there was an unknown problem and closes. Any ideas?

Maybe try removing and re-installing iTunes and all other Apple software again using the exact instructions in this Apple support document.

IPod shuts down iTunes when connected.

I am having problems with iTunes on my windows xp. When the iPod is attached, it has an error message and shuts down iTunes. Any suggestions? .

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the software on the iPod up to date too?
Have you tried connecting via a different USB port?
Also, try resetting the iPod while it is connected to the computer...

IPod shuts down when connected to iTunes

My fully charged iPod shuts down within 1 minute of connecting to iTunes. iTunes recognizes/reads the iPod until the iPod shuts down. I considered the battery but the iPod will play about 6 hours on a charge. This happened with the old iTunes software and also after I installed the new 7.0.2 yesterday.

OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

Hello tsnovak!
Is English your first language? If not, I can help get someone who can speak your language to translate this article.
Tsnovak, you seem to be on a Apple Logo Loop. This has happened with several iPod generations. Contact Apple Support here: <https://www.apple.com/support/contact/>
Thanks!

When I try to use iMessage on my iPod touch 4 (ios6) the iPod shuts down and restarts

Every time I try to open my iMessage my iPod shuts down. I have a 4th gen iPod with ios6. I will attempt to open the app and it will either shut down and restart as soon as the white screen comes up or I will see my previous messages and try to open a thread then it will restart. I have tried restarting the phone as well as turning iMessage on as off. Has anybody else had this problem? What can I do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Note this will delete messages currently on the iPod:
Go to settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sign out of Messages and sign back in.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Problem started after updating to new iTunes 11. Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling an older version did not solve problem. Library would not open because of previous installation of newer iTunes.
Sytems on PC are Xp, Linux, Windows 7. ipod 4th gen.
Thanks for your time.

Rip it up and start again. See the second box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

IPod shuts down on specific songs

Just finished sync'ing my 5G 80GB with iTunes 7.0.1.8. Everything seems to work until I attempted to play this one specific song. As soon as it attempts to play the song, the iPod shuts down, I get the apple logo and the unit resets itself. All other songs play fine, except I found there are a number of other songs that cause the iPod to perform this reset as well. These songs all played fine on my 4G unit. What gives?? TIA!
5G 80GB Windows XP Pro

i had the exact same problem.. heres my story
i had a 30 gig ipod video.. all songs worked and
played fine. then i updated..and i had no
problems..they still worked..and then i bought a 80
gig ipod video. and all of a sudden some songs would
cause my ipod to reset. it was weird cuz i know they
play because i used to listen to them all the time on
my old 30 gig.
what i did was convert the songs that werent working
in the itunes "advanced- convert selection to aac"
and then they started to work..
First, thanks for the info! That did resolve the problem. But I'm still curious as to why this is happening. The challenge now is trying to identify the common denominator amongst the songs that are the culprit. Seems like they are all low quality, perhaps even MONO. Still my 4G 30GB used to play them just fine. Oh well, until then we have a good workaround. Thanks again!

I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

I have iTunes version 11.3.1.2 and a Windows 7 Professional aith Service Pack 1. When I try to print a CD cover from a disc I burned, I get an error message that stops the printing task and shuts down iTunes and tells me once the problem is found they will notify me. When this happened before I got sent a message from Apple that I needed to install a new verion of iTunes. I believe I now have the latest iTunes version. So why can't I print?
Is this the problem below? Does the graphics driver cause the problem?

A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring.

Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

Data Execution Prevention shutting down iTunes even with exception added

Well, was having this problem, it miraculously fixed itself for like a day but now it is happening again. Data Exectuion Prevention for Windows keeps shutting down iTunes. I have gone into the DEP settings and added an exception for it to not apply to iTunes but it is still happening every time I open iTunes. Today I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes, hoping that would make a difference, but it is still happening. Also, since I installed that version about an hour ago, iTunes keeps opening itself without me telling it to--every five minutes I see it opening without me doing anything and then immediately being closed by DEP. I am getting very frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes. I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all). On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes. So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now).

HT201413 Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes

Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes?

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

This will fix it. It's from another conversation. Sony Singh posted this.
