iTunes keeps crashing on iPad Air

iTunes keeps crashing on my iPad every time I try to load the films. Can't seem to find a way around it, other than to buy a film on my mac and sync it. Is this a known bug?

iPad Air Wi-Fi-OTHER, iOS 7.0.3

My new ipad Air had this iTunes app crashing problem. I returned it for a replacement iPad air. The same problem exists. iTunes app crashes when I try to preview movies while holding the iPad in landscape (horizontal) position but if I closed the app and hold the iPad in the portrait (vertical) position and tap iTunes, then I can preview movies in iTunes without any crashes. I reported this to a senior advisor at Apple on Friday Nov 29th. They have assign senior engineer to investigate it. They said to wait 3 business days.


I encourage everyone to call Apple and report this problem. That's the only way Apple can fix it.

Hi, anybody had any luck? I just got my iPad Mini Retina today! Tried itunes store.. crashes every time, in both portrait and landscape.. with 3G or Wifi, bluetooth on or off. I logged out of my account, reset the ipad, factory reset the ipad.. all I have left to do is cry :.(


Annoyingly I have had so many problems with ios7 on my ipad 2 also. But with ios5 and 6 I think I only ever had to do a forced shutdown on the ipad once or twice.


Apple sort this out!

I haven't heard back from Apple yet, but plan to call the senior advisor tomorrow after work.


I had another strange thing happen... While using iPad Air in landscape position, I moved the ipad into portrait position yet the icons did not reposition themselves. Everything remained in landscape for several minutes before it normalized. Very strange! There are serious bugs in ios 7.0.4 or the iPad air is really messed up!

Mine crashes a dozen times a day!! Really fed up. Can't believe that I am even thinking about looking at alternatives to Apple, but I am.


Probably time to go public on investment boards on this issue. Perhaps it will get Apple's attention if they start talking about these isuues on the financial news networks. Glad I sold my stock too.

Well I don't understand why Apple isn't fixing this problem. My brand new ipad mini retina ios7 (wish I could have ios 5 , I was happy with that!) 2 days old, Itunes crashes on the Movies and Tv sections.

I would expect this sort of crappy buggy software on android devices, but Apple? Come on world richest tech company, sort this crap out!
