Why did itunes crash corrupt my whole computer?

i hate itunes so much! i tried to download some tunes and the files were corrupted on apples end, it wouldnt let me download them, it kept giving me errors. then you know what happened, itunes lost my whole library, then you know what happened, all my prefrences for all my applications suddenly disappreared. i have no bookmarks, no email settings, nothing. im sooooo ****** off right now its not even funny.
why did the crash of itunes screw up my whole computer? and what can i do to bring it back to the way it was before itunes blew it up?
this is unacceptable. because of this, i will never buy anythig from itunes store again.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion
I'm sorry to hear of your problems. However, I wonder if iTunes screwed up your computer? Perhaps there's another, core issue with your Hard Disk? Have you run any Hardware Diagnostics?

Why does iTunes slow down my whole computer?

I did a quick search for this topic and couldn't find anything, makes you wonder.
Running iTunes on XP is like swimming through molasses.
I understand I'm running Apple software on a Windows platform and they're like at war or something...but seriously, a little professionalism would be nice. I just want to put songs on my shuffle...so I can go jog. I don't want to have to run a marathon before I even get out the door.
Is there some kind of patch, or update, or special download that isn't "iTunes for Windows" that...you know, can make my iTunes actually run on Windows? Thanks.

My PC destroys the minimum requirements for iTunes. Heck all I need it to do is maybe play music and transfer songs to my shuffle...which, I used to be able to do on my thumb-drive based mp3 player on any computer anywhere with zero software. Is there like an iTunes light?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

Why did iTunes move my archived podcasts to the cloud?

I want my podcasts archived on my computer... which they were. Why did iTUnes move them? They were files on my computer, some of which I paid for and which were not downloaded from iTunes. Now I have to download them again. This "feature" is invasive and blatantly stupid.

The iTunes Match tutorial says you can share all music, even music you added from other sources. Is this a lie?
No, it was not a lie but the music must be in the iTunes library. It doesn't matter what the source for the music is, though.

If I download music from other sources, the music is added to my library right alongside any other music I have on my phone. There is no way to get it into iTunes if I didn't buy it there.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Do you not know how to add music to the iTunes library? It is very easy: pull down File > Add to library. You can add any supported file format to iTunes, not everything has to be purchased from the iTunes Store.

Hey
First, try force closing the Music app, which you can find out how to do here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
And if it still doesn't work when you try to re-open it, I would then reset the device:

Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad? I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1. Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad) from computer to Ipad. It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update. I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
I've restarted my iPhone.
Restarted my iMac.
Re-installing iTunes.
Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
All with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

ITunes Seizes Up My Whole Computer

MacBook Pro Retina 15" (Late 2013)
2.0 GHz Quad-Core i7
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM
256 GB PCiE Flash Memory
Intel Iris Pro 1563 MB
Mac OS X 10.10
iTunes 12.0.1.26
It's been happening quite a lot recently; When I have iTunes open and playing a song, all of a sudden, the music will stop with no command. I switch to the iTunes window, and I get the spinning rainbow wheel. I then switch to Finder or try to access my dock so I can force quit iTunes, then my whole computer is frozen. The last time this happened, my whole system crashed. Usually it just stays on the spinning rainbow wheel and I have to do a hard shutdown.
This is happening way too frequently. Does anyone have a solution?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

What should I do if whenever I open Itunes it freezes my whole computer and the mouse doesn't move?

How can I prevent my mac book pro from freezing whenever I open Itunes. (Whenever I open Itunes my whole computer freezes and I can't move or do anything) What should I do??

you might need help with OS X more than iTunes though.

Why does iTunes crash with 'iTunes has stopped working' on startup?

This only happens when the computer is connected to the internet. If I switch wi-fi off first, iTunes can start, and then I can switch it on again, and it works just fine. It is really annoying! I have seen elsewhere that the 'iTunes has stopped working' message can be caused by outdated graphics card drivers. I have the latest version of both iTunes for Win 7, and the latest graphics drivers.
I have also tried 'repairing' iTunes, and deinstalling and reinstalling it.
The message 'accessing iTunes store' typically pops up just before iTunes crashes, about ten seconds after I click the iTunes icon to start it.
The error goes on to say 'A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Why did iTunes take out the category, "AIFF or mp3 encoder" on their latest version?

I make CDs for use in my carr so it is valuable to me to know which version of a song is on iTunes: either AIFF, or mp3. The previous versions offered these specs for a category as a column listing in the library but the latest version doesn't; if you don't remember where you last had it set you have to check in prefs., then hit "import settings" which is annoying when you're compiling for a CD.
Why did they take that category out (under "view options") or am I wrong and you can tell me where I can find it?
Thanks

Dear loeezy,
Sorry you felt offended by my post. That was not my intent and I never suggested you were stupid.
Your post was a bit confusing because you were describing unrelated things.
I was simply trying to explain a few things to help you out. Seems it did not work.
My apologies.
Please check out exactly the directions I wrote about "import settings". I believe you will find the active button, "import settings" next to "ask to import CD" which is next to the words "when you import a CD:" under the heading, "General" in the pull-down menu, Preferences.
Yes, I understand what the Import Settings are and how to change them.
However, Import Settings has nothing to do with burning a CD or selecting file types for adding to a playlist.
Since it is not needed for making a playlist or burning a CD, I don't understand why it would "annoying".
If you are burning a data or MP3 CD and only want specific file types, then you need to know what format of the files you add to a playlist are but that still has no relevance to what your current Import Settings are.
And no, iTunes will NOT "convert the file as needed" if you want one song in both formats.
If you are burning an audio CD, the result is one format. Audio CD.
That is why I wrote, "If you are burning an audio CD the format is irrelevant", because iTunes will convert AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC & Apple Lossless to audio CD format.
Next time read the question thoroughly, make sure you do have the right version, and test what the the person is saying
I did read thoroughly and understand exactly what you wrote.
In the end, seems all you really needed was how to view the Kind column.
Seems you have sorted out your issue so good luck.
