Itunes keeps crashing

I have the same problem with my iPod Classic. My iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are both fine when I eject them. It's just my iPod Classic. When I eject it iTunes crashes and in Finder my iPod is all greyed out. I have to remove my iPod from my dock, then I have to Force Quit iTunes and then relaunch Finder to get everything back to Normal.

I too have treid to restore my iPod. It downloaded the software and then it seems to be thinking about restoring it, then 10 minutes later nothing's happened and iTunes has stopped responding so I have to Force quit it again!

I thought it was something to do with the itunes 10.4 update? or Lion perhaps, but I can see you've been using Snow Leopard. For me the problems all started from when I updated iTunes and OSX to Lion.

I've tried to find a solution, short of almost reinstalling Lion. I think it must be the iTunes update then. It's not like in Windows you uninstall iTunes and use a previous version and install it. Trying to find other people with the same problem... urgh... Darn these people who just use their iPhone for music. I'll start rooting around, see if a hard reset will get the thing to work again. If I get any closer to solving it, I'll update it on here!

Try here > iTunes for Mac won't open or unexpectedly quits

Cheers but that's not the issue.

Hey buddy,

I don't know how far you got with your problem. But in the end I had so many problems with Lion and iTunes. I backed up all my stuff using time machine. Did a full format and reinstalled Lion. My problem has now gone. It'll take a day or two to fully get you back to where you are depending on applicatiosn and your data.

Another thing I had enabled was Disk Useage on my Classic. I unchecked that in itunes too after the rebuild and I didn't have any other problems too.

I'm not sure what the problem was, but I encountered unexpected Finder freezes and I needed a rebuild.

Hope this is of some help. Good Luck if you haven't solved the problem yet.

It seems as though you and I were the only one havcing this problem.

I found a solution that worked for me; I have Iphone4 and after Itunes update of 10.4.? itunes would no longer sync my photos, so after reading a few post and researching online I have found that when I unistalled ALL components of Itunes (anything in my add/remove program list with Apple's name) then I downloaded Itunes 10.1 and installed it. There was one error when it was done and it had to do with the library.itl file that I found on my computer and deleted! Since then I have had NO problems at all! I hope this helps some of you!

iPod nano 5G

For me, Kaspersky was ist - the Kaspersky from Parallels Desktop.

Just uninstall ist and reboot.

I also disable Disk usage, than sync, enable it again, sync again.

Now fine working

The "not shutting down or rebooting" issue is usually caused by a peripheral device connected to the computer. I had the same problem and realized it was my Microsoft wireless mouse. When I "Shut Down", "re-start", etc. I just unplug the USB mouse receiver before-hand and I never have a problem.... I know this thread is pretty old, but I thought maybe it might help! 🙂
