itunes 11.4 crashes when syncing apps to ipad / iphone

hey everyone, maybe the knowledge of the many may help, as I am rather at a loss right now!


after installing itunes 11.4, my trouble started! running 64 bit version on windows 8.1 - and latest iOS on both devices


all windows updates installed, all drivers for whatever is running on this machien are also up to date


connecting either ipad or iphone to computer, when itunes starts to sync, it gets to the point of "syncing apps to iPAD", it tries to add the first app - and crashes for good!


and yep, I went thru all the suggested thingies recommended on here:

iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717


windows pops up "itunes has stopped working" ... so I headed over to the Windows Event viewer, and for the moment, itunes crashes, I find these two entries in the log file - tried a search on here, google as well, to no avail:

Hi barbino


You're not the only one having this problem, I'm running the 32bit version of 11.4 on windows 7 and I'm having a very similar problem as you.

It crashes when I sync apps to my iPAD and iPod Touch, but it works ok when synced my iPhone 4S?


My Windows Event looks the sames as yours

I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, no joy. But I have got a sort of work around for the problem. I updated all my iPhone apps on the device before I connected it to iTunes. I tried it with my iPad and iPod Touch both had all their apps updated on the device before syncing to iTunes and no syncing of apps so no crash. It's not a fix, but at least iTunes doesn't crash now. Let hope version 12.0 fixes the problem.


Hope this helps.

Thanx for the heads up! Yeah, definitely looks the same - always a good thing you are not the only one with such a thing, I began to wonder if I had pulled a Homer here on my own by having done something stupid or so ;o) anyhow, yeah, that works, once the apps are in place, no crash, but just no transfer from computer tu iDevice ... and crash again!


yeah, also hoping here that there will be a fix for this nuisance sometime soon

Sep 15, 2014 7:07 AM in response to barbino

I do not have a Mac, so the above solution will not work. Also it is a different problem. I do not get an extension error, mine crashed right when it goes to sync. Either my iphone or ipad, does the same thing. I tried the version before this, same thing. I think the install of 11.4 has something in the registry that causes this. Just need some time to try and find it. There were some suggestions of copying the library to the "C" drive, but I really do not want to do that, I have all my media stored on an external drive and want to keep it that way.

Sep 16, 2014 8:37 PM in response to Loner T

I found a slightly less extreme solution that worked for me.


1. Close iTunes

2. Uninstall iTunes 11.4 (and for safety Apple Application Support, Software Update, Mobile Device & Bonjour)

3. Download 11.3.0.54 (NOT 11.3.1.x this had the same error) from filehippo etc.

4. Re-install


All OK 🙂 and iTunes works fine from my external network file server.


Very happy not to have to copy library to c: or do anything to both iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2. I didn't even clean the registry, so even my iTunes Media folder location was preserved, no rebooting between steps.


Hope that works for someone else.


Now just have to wait for the 54 new items to be Synced ...


And no idea what I'm going to do when my iPhone 6 arrives (and probably needs 11.4)

Sep 17, 2014 8:29 PM in response to barbino

I am experiencing a similar yet different issue. Every time I try syncing any device (iphone 4s, ipod nano 5th or iPad air) my PC shuts down. It started right after I updated to it 11.4. I tried everything I could think of: uninstall, reinstal, uninstalled apps I thought might be compromising iTunes. Nothing worked. I don't know what else to do. don't know if it's my PC or iTunes. (My pc is a vaio running windows 7 x64).

Sep 17, 2014 9:24 PM in response to barbino

I Have the same problem with iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit.

Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPod Touch 4 iTunes crashes when step 5 "syncing apps" starts.


I reinstalled iTunes 11.4 with the instructions on the knowledge base but the problem stays.


Tomorrow I get my new iPhone 6 so I have to find a solution. I think I need a version >=11.4 that works for syncing to ios8...


Is there a solution for me?

Will iTunes 12.0 be published soon or do I have to try 12 beta?

Sep 17, 2014 9:40 PM in response to barbino

Also using iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. Crashes in the "syncing apps" stage. Happens on two different user accounts, one using an iPod Touch and one using an iPhone 5.


Clean uninstall/reinstall doesn't make any difference. Safe mode doesn't make any difference (no plug-ins installed).


Stack trace shows an unknown routine in iTunesMobileDevice.dll calling Microsoft C++ runtime routine _wstat32i64 with a null name parameter. This is definitely an iTunes 11.4 bug.

/***

*int _stat(name, buf) - get file status info

*

*Purpose:

* _stat obtains information about the file and stores it in the

* structure pointed to by buf.

*

* Note: We cannot directly use the file time stamps returned in the

* WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. The values are supposedly in system time

* and system time is ambiguously defined (it is UTC for Windows NT, local

* time for Win32S and probably local time for Win32C). Therefore, these

* values must be converted to local time before than can be used.

*

*Entry:

* _TSCHAR *name - pathname of given file

* struct _stat *buffer - pointer to buffer to store info in

*

*Exit:

* fills in structure pointed to by buffer

* returns 0 if successful

* returns -1 and sets errno if unsuccessful

*

*Exceptions:

Okay, this problem get's very nasty... I received my new iPhone toady and wanted to restore the Backup of my old phone.

Everything works fine until it comes to the "sync Apps" phase - once it tries to copy the first app to the device it crashes.


On my iPhone only empty stubs of the apps show up all saying "Waiting..."

THERE IS NO WAY TO RESTORE A BACKUP TO A BRANDNEW IPHONE6 IN THIS SITUATION.

Hopefully Apple fixes this soon otherwise it might cause serious trouble!
