TS1717 Why does iTunes Store crash frequently?

I have a first generation (64Gb) WiFi  running version 10,and have IOS5,Im only using about 30% of memory at most.But when I browse the iTunes Store on my iPad,it crashs frequently and returns me to the home screen.I have tried restarting,resetting,updating,restoring it to only the factory installed Apps and testing to see if one or more of my downloaded Apps could be causing the crash.Nothing seems to fix it.The error log shows that the iTunes Store is overloading the processor ,even when nothing extra has been loaded onto the iPad.It seems odd to me that a basic iPad utility should cause it to overload the processor.Support has acted mystified as to why it is doing this,and exiled me to the customer self help forums.I have run across bits and pieces that several other customers are suffering from this same problem.The general rumor that I've heard is that iTunes Store has become so "Bloated" from its own new and improved updates that it's putting more demand on the IPad processors than they are designed for.Is this a hopeless or unfixable problem?I have started using downloaded Apps like Apple Sliced without having the crash problem,but their search engines are not quite as good as the iTunes App Store browser.IF only It wasn't so unstable !!! I am very surprised that there hasn't been any update to correct it,being a basic utility and all.Has anyone heard of a new solution ,or maybe a ray of hope that Apple is addressing this bug?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
Regards.

  • Why does itunes store not pop up and not tell me why?

    Why does itunes store not pop up and then not tell me why? i"m wondering if it could have anything 2do with me just transefering music with my flash drive?

    Does it show in the Purchased section for downloading ? Click on the Purchased under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    If not then have you tried logging out and back into the account ? If that doesn't work either then try contacting iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Why does Itunes store use estimated sales tax?

    Does anyone know why the itunes store doesn't reveal the "real" tax even after you purchase? I was surprised my tax was estimated even past the point of purchase.  I'm not aware of any other online retailer who keeps it hidden.

    I understand that the tax is different in every state and country. My question is why they don't reveal the actual tax to you before they run your credit card, like every other retailer does.  I've ordered an ipad yesterday, got a confirmation email today, and still don't know the actual tax they're charging me.  This seems to violate business etiquette (charge an account without letting person know exact amount). They'll let me know "at invoice", i.e. after I have it in my possession.  Bestbuy, to give one of hundreds of examples, estimates the tax at first, but then tells you what tax actually is right before you confirm the order.

  • Why does Itunes always crash when exiting?

    I have 10.5 installed on Windows 7 64 bit. Almost everytime I exit itunes it crashes and I have to constantly go to the task manager to close it.
    I've tried reinstalling but it doesn't seem to be helping. Help plz?

    I have read the using itunes in safe mode (pressing CTRL+SHIFT when you open it) helps the problem, although this is not a long term solution. If using itunes in safe mode does stop the problem, then there must be a 3rd party application that is causing the crash. I have turned off all non essential start up programs (through MSCONFIG) to see if that also helps, but haven't had the chance to test it out properly yet. I will let you know how I get on.

  • Why does iTunes Store stop working when I try to view a certain category?

    When I go to the iTunes store, I try to browse through the different apps. For example, I will click on "Entertainment" then on "Top Free Apps" then it will show a blank screen then my computer will say iTunes is not responding and shuts off. What can I do to fix this issue?

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does itunes store shuts my itunes down?

    When I open the store, then it reads. 'Itunes dejó de funcionar' (itunes stopped working) and then it closes the whole thing. I can listen to my music. It's only that when I try to open the store, then the system crashes and I need to restart Itunes. So far, I haven't been able to access  itunes store to buy my music.
    Thanks!

  • Why does iTunes Store not acknowledge my subscription

    I have a Season Pass to Madam Secretary.  The instructions say that includes all present and future episodes of season 1 yet now the iTunes store wants me to purchase new episodes. Any idea what is going on?

  • Why does itunes store not work anymore properly on first generation ipad? could we not expect that apple keeps apps functional on older devices?

    seems apple wants to push us throwing away 3 year old devices or forgets that it needs to maintain apps for them while moving on to new generation definetely frustrating that the app crashes all the time- so no more films or music downloading. also a reset did not help. Frustrating experience

    The Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store clearly state all sales are final. The person you spoke with may have been told a refund could not be given. They may have contacted the developer of the app who is claiming that the in-app purchase was delivered to you.
    You would have been far better off to have called Apple back rather than switching to Chat. Contact them again, by phone, and ask to speak to a senior advisor and if necessary ask for a supervisor. If you threaten them and say they are cheating you, etc. they will probably disconnect so keep that in mind. They are under no obligation whatsoever to provide you a refund.

  • Why does Itunes Store bill me extra charges?

    I purchased my Ipad 2 months ago and of course created an Apple ID for Itunes Store.
    This week I purchased 2 iphones. Those are being used on two different computers with Itunes but with the same Apple ID
    Each time they want to download some free applications, I am getting charged 1 Dhs ( I'm living in UAE). I find this very strange as all three equipments have been registred with Apple under my Apple ID!
    I suppose I am not the only person in the world having several Apple devices. If this is the normal procedure by Apple, they make very good money on our back!
    If this is not normal how can I proceed to avoid this constant billing?
    Thanks all in advance for your help

    By the way we tried to register a new apple ID without credit card just as explained elswhere in the discussions but in our Itunes store this option is not available....

  • HT1657 why does iTunes store have different content than AppleTV?

    I just tried to rent Ghostbusters on AppleTV and it isn't listed. But it is available on iTunes on my desktop computer. How do you sync these up?
    Thanks,
    Louise

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV allows you to choose a preferred resolution for your movies and TV shows. Depending on which resolution you have chosen, only those movies and TV shows available in that resolution will be available for purchase or rent. This will likely explain the differences that you see between the iTunes Store on your computer andthat on the Apple TV.

  • TS1702 why does itune store ask me to buy the apps I bought several years ago?

    I bought iwork and other apple apps one year ago. However, I was ask to pay for them again today when I tried to  download from itune store. Please help me to fix this.

    If they were bought via the same account (and you still in the same country) then you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iOS device, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

    I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
    However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).

    Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
    to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
    Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
    Good luck.

  • Why does iTunes always crash and freeze on my iPad?

    Every time I access iTunes and try to select music or search, for example, it freezes and then crashes. I have restored the iPad and it was ok for a few minutes then did the same thing. Is there anything I can do as I would like to be able to download music, but at this rate I am considering using another service...?
    Any help would be very appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi there Ritchiet,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
