Q: iTunes 11.2 crashing

I've done all of the above (including 4 restarts), and have tried deleting itunes preferences, but to no avail.

iTunes hangs after opening 100% of the time.

After digging around the error report I've been able to fix this problem by trashing the "SyncServices" folder in ~/Library/Application Support and then restarting.

Version 11.2 .  I also updated it this morning but it kept crashing.  I am using XP Windows

1.  I tried uninstall and fresh install of itunes but did not work.

2.  I restored my computer to a previous version but then the itunes was not compatible.

3.  I tried to fix my computer itunes from repair and after launching i got a library no compatible.

I just removed my newest library and added my old one and now it works but it asks me to update to 11.2.

I would not recommend to update it yet.  I hope there is some way apple company realizes this issue and can change the update version content as soon as possible so we can update it. otherwise it will cause more future problems.

Thank you

I found that iTunes 11.2 hung only when either my iphone 5 or ipad air was plugged into a USB port. Deleting ˜/Library/Application Support/SYncServices as suggested by dextrous13 worked for me.

Same problem here, tried everything i can think of and some things that were suggested. Tried safe mode, tried offline, on a newer MacBook I can open it to play music, trying to update podcasts crashes it.

On my older iMac it can't open at all.

Activity monitors show iTunes swallowing up all my RAM until freezing. Not happy at all.

hi, my itunes keeps crashing and i am unable to find the syncservices folder. any other solutions?

I, too, have experienced the same things. My iMac is only 2 years old, but itunes 11.2 is hanging every time I try to start it.

it would be so nice if just for once Apple would acknowledge that there is a problem and they are working on it.

Anyone know where the update podcasts button went to? Even if I select Manual downloads I only see subscribe greyed out and no update button

I am experiencing the same problem after installing the Itunes update.....Itunes wont respond....all i get is the spinning beach ball...Do a restart on my mac and try itunes again....same thing!  Please Help or fix the update!

I had the same problem with iTunes freezing whenever I plugged in my iPhone 5. I deleted the SyncServices folder as described previously and now I can plug in my iPhone 5 just fine without iTunes freezing. Thank you msontag!

Now I was curious whether this was a problem with the Mavericks 10.9.3 update since it reintroduces local sync to iOS devices via USB. Before Mavericks, this is what SyncServices was used for: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

So I reinstalled the Mavericks 10.9.3 Combo Update after deleting the SyncServices folder to see whether the Update would repopulate this folder, thinking that maybe the Update somehow corrupted something in there from before Mavericks. The Mavericks Update did not recreate the folder, so I'm thinking this is a bug in the iTunes 11.2 update.

I am having a similar problem, although deleting the SyncServices didn't help.  Seems iTunes was downloading months of old podcasts eating up all of my disk space.  Along with using up all the Ram.  My iMac was completely unresponsive and I had to hold the power button to reboot.  Very frustrating......
