Why does iTunes quit unexpectedly when I try to play music

This happened after I recently plugged in my iPhone 4 and was waiting for an upgrade to instal.  Now I can't get iTunes to play music.  It just quits each time.

I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.

  • Why does installer quit "unexpectedly" when i try to re-install printer software

    lexmark 2500 printer kept claiming to be "offline" so i uninstalled it and when i tried to re-install using the CD I'd used to install the printer when I first bought it the installer kept quitting. any suggestions?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why Does photoshop quit unexpectedly when i try to open a file from my desktop?

    I've always been able to do it previously but today i've had to reinstall all my files and applications (long story) and now for some reason it won't open any files from the desktop.
    It seems to be fine if i open the same file from my documents so it just seems strange.
    If anyone knows why its doing this that would be great

    You mean it crashes?
    We can't tell you why it's crashing without seeing the detailed crash log.
    But first, make sure you have all the updates installed.

  • Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Since iDisk is an online service for keeping your data and has nothing to do with burning CDs or DVDs, you must be thinking of something else. What application are you using to burn? the Finder? iTunes? iDVD? Toast? Or something else?
    Is there an error message that appears when this occurs?
    Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

    Hello, namnibob.
    Thank you for the question.  This issue sounds like the media is either missing or iTunes is not directed to where your media is located.  These articles will help you locate music and download any purchased media from the purchased section of the iTunes Store that you are missing.

  • Why does iTunes stop working when I try to type the album name in to submit cd track names?

    I have a cd that I'm trying to separate, but whenever I try to type the album name in the submit CD track names box, iTunes freezes, then quits working. Why is it doing this and what can I do to stop it?

    Does it happen for any slideshow? Or only for one slideshow with certain images?
    Does iPhoto also freeze for a new iPhoto library, if you create a new library with some test images?
    If iPhoto only freezes for a certain slideshow, check, if it is one of the photos or videos, that is making the slideshow freeze. Create a new slideshow and add the images one by one, to fnd the one, that cannot be played. Remove it.
    If iPhoto only freezes with all slideshows in your current library, repair your iPhoto library. It may have been migrated with permission issues. How did you restore the library, after you wiped your mac and clean-installed?
    To repair the library using the First Aid Tools, see Old Toad's post here: Rebuild iPhoto Library, Version 11, see "Fix 1". In your case, I'd start with Repair Permission, the Repair database. Apply the other fixes, if need be.
    Post back, if the repair does not help.
