TS1717 iTunes shuts down when Music Match gets to 8495 of 8498 songs.

Friends:
This is a "wits end" plea! I've been using iTunes and Windows (all versions) for years with nary a hiccup. This setup with Windows 7 supporting iTunes 10.6.3 and iOS 5.1.1 supporting my iPhone was working fine until I turned on Music Match. When the scan count gets to 8495 of 8498 songs iTunes posts the "iTunes has encountered an error" frame then shuts down. When I restart iTunes it requires a log-out and back-in to the Store then to turn on Music Match again which restarts the error loop.
Reviewing previous posts I've uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime and reinstalled them again, moved the "c:\users\username\app\apple computer" folders, and worked the other suggestions including starting iTunes in "Safe mode". There are no "plug-ins" at all.
None of these solutions have fixed this Music Match problem.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
GeorgeIP
PS: I did notice that even though I downloaded the "64bit" version of iTunes it still installed in the "Program Files (x86)" 32 bit directory.

Friends: Here's the answer to at least my problem of having iTunes crash most of the way through Step 3 of the iTunes Match process: There were Voice Memo files mixed in with the music files. Although both are listed as *.m4a files, the match system hiccupped when encountering them.
Solution: Use the "Info" button to find out where the possibly offending files are located. Go to that location and move them someplace else.
Once the offending files are gone the entire process works like a charm.
Now why couldn't Apple have told us that little "secret" instead of having us *customers* thrashing around in the dark?
Hopefully this will help someone else out there.

Itunes shuts down when clicking anything

My iTunes shuts down when I click anything on the screen other than the music. If I click anything on the sidebar (Store, Playlists, Library, etc.) or the album artwork it shuts down. I have tried pulling all the iTunes preferences out of the library and restarting the computer. This does not fix the problem. This has been going on for a few months, but I have been downloading the newest versions of iTunes and it continues to happen.

Hey chaimoy,
It seems like you may be experiencing an unexpected quit from iTunes when importing a file into the iTunes library. I have an article for you that addresses this circumstance, and it can be found below:

ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1630589
Can somebody please help me?

A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
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.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

ITunes shut down when trying to change photo setting

I just bought a new 30GB iPod on Wed and also had to d/l the new itunes. Everything snycs well, music, video, but when i try change the default photo settings iTunes shuts down. The defaut setting is for the photos to be in the Photoshop album folder. I dont have Photoshop, and everytime i try to change the photo folder it shuts down.
Anyone else have this problem?

Its the error message that says that iTunes experienced an error or something and nees to close
okay. i haven't had a lot of dealings with that message in that context with a 7.0.x. (troubleshooting techniques for it differ depending on what you are doing with itunes when itunes throws it at you.)
so (when you get home) let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
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

ITunes Shuts Down When Launching the Store

I am able to open and use iTunes normally for playing songs and playlist organization, but every time I try to launch the store iTunes shuts down completely. No error message or warning. I have not had any problmes with it in the past, and nothing has changed as far as settings or new hardware/software. As far as I can see all firewalls and anti-virus programs have been turned off, and I am able to log into other file sharing services fine. Could it be a low memory issue?
Anyone have any ideas??
All advice and help is appreciated...thanks!!
Windows XP

I am having a similar problem at home but I have found a pattern. I have itunes installed on my laptop. When I launch the store through my connection at work everything works fine - the CPU is only 60 % peaked at the worst time and this is with MS Excel, and a TV streamer working simultaneously. When I attempt to lauch the store at home on my laptop using either a wireless or a wire connection through my Xplornet satellite connection the connection freezes, my CPU is 100.0 % used. and and the system is frozen. I can still play tunes from my library but itunes is functioning very slowly.
I also frequently get a message using the help function in the program that I do not have a "secured connection to the store.
This problem just started after Xmas and I also installed the new Itunes version. Everything was perfoming fine at home with all of my computers. Now both my desktop and laptop suffer the same consequences
Like you, all of my firewall and Explorer settings are correct. Based on my opposite results and consistentcy, I therefore contend its the internet connection that appears to have some bearing on the problem. I also removed Norton from all of my systems and replaced my protection with something less greedy on my resources. Although my connection is not true high speed from a performance standpoint it is still approx. 80 - 90 times fast than an analog connection. Because I live in the country where true high speed connections don't exist, this is as good as it gets.
Check your signal strength in your internet connection. It would be appreciated if Apple could respond to my email last week. After all we are the ones prepared to buy downloaded music and we can't without getting these bugs resolved.
Should I reinstall the old Itunes version ? There is an old saying - " If it works fine - change it ! "
Thanks

ITunes shuts down when syncing iTouch with another computer

Decided to use a different computer(laptop) running windows. Have moved library via hard drive transfer. Went to connect iTouch- couldn't restore it, but genius bar got it working. Probable antivirus conflict. Now after updating software for both iTunes and iTouch and consolidating library , can't get sync to work. I backed up iTouch before attempting sync and it did import contacts etc. But now it won't sync music library. When I manually move an album to the device , now iTunes shuts down and becomes unresponsive after the first 3 or 4 seconds of the tranfer. Very frustrating.

look at this article. The article give a link for XP.

TS1363 why does Itunes shut down when I purchase songs.also when trying to download updates it fails to update.I am using windows 8

when I purchase songs Itunes shuts down.also when I try to update I tunes I keep getting an error message that says failed to download

I appreciate your response but not sure now if it could have been anything in that answer because.......
This problem appears to have gone away, not sure why but I have a possible theory. This is only a theory on my part as I'm not knowledgeable on the inner workings of Firefox. When I installed Firefox 18 it had all the automatic updating options turned on by default. By the time I turned them all off, I'm assuming it had started to download updates for all the plugins and addons, like java, quicktime etc. etc. etc. even though I hadn't personally initiated those downloads and updates. My theory is that once those downloads had started, even though I had turned off the automatic updating, it was going to continue downloading the updates that had started and was not going to stop until it had done so.
I do not disable the anti-phishing and evil website detection stuff but I seriously doubt the updating for those items would have consisted of 89 megabytes of data but I could be wrong.
So for now, I'll close this out and mark it solved and continue to monitor to see if I have any more "weirdness" go on.

Itunes shuts down when I open store

I just updated to the newest version of iTunes for Windows. I also just updated to Windows 8.1. When I open iTunes, it works great until I open the store. I get an error message that says "iTunes has stopped working" and itunes shuts down. Any help would be appreciated
Dave

Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. No fix. I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop. As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

Itunes shuts down when ipod plugged in

my itunes shuts down the minute i plug in my ipod. ive unistalled and reinstalled ipod and downloaded the ipod updater but still same problem.
what can i do to fix this bc ipod is now worthless.
thanks,
chris

okay, let's try getting a crash log to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence to the Apple engineers, so they can have a look at it.
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.)
plug the ipod in, collect the crash log, and send it to a discussions host
in the email:
(1) let them know the precise version number of itunes that you're using. (go into your "Help > About iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) let them know the precise version of the ipod updater you're using.
(3) include the URL to this thread so that whoever gets the email has some context, but also explicitly mention that you're getting this when you plug in the ipod.
