I keep getting "iTunes has stopped working"

I just got an iPad and wanted to sync it with my iTunes. First I I added some songs from my hard drive to my iTunes on my computer. Then synced my iPad with my computer. Now iTunes will run for 20-30 mins and then give me "iTunes has stopped working".

Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History. To view this go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Action Center > View Reliability History under Maintenance. Double click the iTunes critical event and copy it into your reply.

  • Anyone else keep getting "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up ever since the last update?

    Recently iTunes had issued a fix to the problem they were having with music stuttering during playback. I installed the update and no more stuttering.
    Ever since installing that update (iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit), however, I keep getting a "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up, and it closes down. This is constantly happening to me. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it, and it is still happening quite often.
    Hopefully Apple is aware of this, and will issue yet another update.
    Has anyone else experienced this too, or is it just me?

    Hi Wi_Writer,
    Are you getting the iTunes error message when you connect a device to iTunes or only during playback with a connected device?  The resource below provides some additional troubleshooting steps for this scenario.

  • Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

    Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Every time I try to import a CD I get "iTunes has stopped working"

    I updated to the new 9.0.3.15 version of ITunes a couple of weeks back and ever since I have not been able to import CD's?
    It seems it works with every else syncing etc but not importing CD's.
    Every time I try to import a CD it will start then within a few seconds I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and another message saying Windows is looking for a solution.
    I have tried going into Control Panel and Programs and repairing the installation but no luck.
    Anyone know how I can fix this.

    I can see messages for other programs that have had issues but nothing for iTunes.
    Hmmmm.
    Maybe try provoking the error another two or three times, taking a careful note of the time showing on the PC. Now head back into the Action Center. Is there a problem report for any application or operating system component that appears regularly at the same time as the iTunes errors?
    If so, paste a copy of a typical error report for that in a reply. (Fingers crossed that might get us a bit closer to understanding what is afoot.)

  • When iTunes closes I get " iTunes has Stopped Working message"?

    iTunes works and runs fine on my Vista Ultimate system, however, every time I close iTunes I get a message stating that iTunes has stopped working. I havn't noticed any functionality loss, it's just that the dialog box is annoying. I just did a recent clean install of my Vista OS. Was the same way on last two versions of iTunes. Ran and installed Windows updates, reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. Created and additional user and same message for that user.
    Running Norton 360, Ghost 12, Logitech 518 mouse G15 Keyboard, and software is Nero 7 ultra, Pinnacle Studio 11, PowerDVD 7, Call of Duty: UO.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I experience a similar issue.
    iTunes runs fine, and I can sync my nano as I did on XP.
    When I listen to music through my Airtunes device, music streams just fine,
    but when I close iTunes, I get the "Stopped working"-message.
    If I change back so I listen on the computer instead, and then close iTunes, everything closes just fine without the error.
    The error is reported as follows in Event Viewer:
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.4.3.1, time stamp 0x46f9e539, faulting module iTunes.exe, version 7.4.3.1, time stamp 0x46f9e539, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x001227ac, process id 0x1348, application start time 0x01c80b73fd90b27c.
    Do you also use AirTunes when you get the error?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Getting itunes has stopped working error when sync wit IPad

    I am getting a itunes has stopped working when sync with IPad, using windows 7

    It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
    Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
    If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

  • I just received a refurbished replacement iphone and now while syncing I get "itunes has stopped working"...help???

    I just received a refurbished iphone the the insurance provided by a major electronics retailer.  Since i have tried to sync it to iTunes I have received "iTunes has stopped working" error.  It says it will come back with possible solutions, but never does a thing.  I have already removed and again installed iTunes, QuickTime, etc. to no success.  Not sure what my next step should be.

    This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
    The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
    Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
    Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

  • Keep getting SyncServer has stopped working

    I have a new 16gig iPhone 3GS, when i plug it in to my PC I get a popup that says SyncServer has stoped working followed by an iTunes message that says "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later". Thought at first it was my new iphone but does the same thing with my daughters 8Gig iPhone 3G. I have uninstalledd/reinstall/repaired iTunes, updated USB drivers, and done everything else the help & FAQ's have recomended. Anyone got any other ides?

    Hey all... I too have been having this same problem for weeks... After reading many threads in different forums I found my solution...
    It may or may not work for you depending on your system. However this solution from posts from others have worked for these systems.
    Windows Vista 32 & 64 bit versions, Windows 7, Those using Mobile Me and Office.
    Here is what we were told to do and it worked. Just passing it on for others to attempt to see if it fixes your problems too.
    Here is what we did.
    You must copy TWO files from one folder to another.... It seems that these were placed in the wrong folder or they were left out of the last update.
    I'm using VISTA so my files are in Program Files(x86) not the
    regular Program Files folder... Make adjustments for the system you are using.
    Go to > COMPUTER
    C: drive
    PROGRAM FILES(x86)
    COMMON FILES
    APPLE
    APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT +(ie: get the files from this location)+
    Copy these two files... libxml2.dll and libtidy.dll
    Then go PASTE them Here:
    Go to > COMPUTER
    C: drive
    PROGRAM FILES(x86)
    COMMON FILES
    APPLE
    MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT +(Paste the two files in here)+
    This helped all of us.... Maybe this will be your fix too.
    Hope it helps...

  • Can't sync from iTunes to iPhone, get 'iTunes has stopped working' message

    2 messages appear when I try to sync music (have tried a few times over the last few weeks and still having the same issue). I have no music now on my iPhone! I reverted to factory settings (as advised) then started again. Everything worked ok apart from the music.. which hasn't synced.
    I upgraded to the newest version (4:2)but I still don't have music and I am still getting the error messages

    In Itunes c on your pc can you see the song. Right mouse click and see if it has the option to check item. If so select it. iTunes will not synch unchecked music as part of a playlist.
    Sometimes useful to look in the Songs viw in Music as you can add the checked column from View, View Options
