ITunes for Windows 11.0.4: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Title says it all.
I've had this issue on this machine for some time but not forever. Music playback is fine but anything video related freezes the program. When I launch the program in safe mode it works though. Clearly some add-on or file is causing it to foul up.
Before anyone suggests this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4221 <-- I've tried it to no avail so please don't repost
Anyways this is really annoying, please help.
Thanks
P.S. I know my way around the computer so no need to cripple your explaination

Hello Appropriator,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines further suggestions for troubleshooting video playback. While you have already completed one of the steps, there are a few more that you can try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Additional Information
Some customers using computers containing NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers may experience unexpected behavior when playing videos in iTunes on Windows from a SATA hard drive. iTunes may unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive or the computer may unexpectedly reboot or show a blue screen. Standard IDE hard disks are unaffected by this issue. If your computer contains a standard IDE hard disk, you can copy your video files to that disk and play those copies of the files in iTunes or QuickTime Player.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes?  How can i fix this?

    After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button.  Simply closing the error message closes the program as well.  I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me).  It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update?  It just can't seem to get past that point.  I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.

    Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it.    Found this in another post and it worked great.
    Solution:
    Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

  • HT1349 Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  Why?!

    For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer.  iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups.  It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me".  Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do?  Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Can't install iTunes 11 on Widows 8, 'iTunes has stopped working' error message

    Two months ago, I bought a new computer that uses Windows 8.  I was running iTunes 10.6 on it fine until today, when it crashed for some unknown reason.  Every time I've tried to open it again, I kept on getting a 'iTunes has stopped working' message.  I've uninstalled 10.6 and tried installing iTunes 11, but keep getting the same 'iTunes has stopped working' error message with no other details.  I've tried installing it as an administrator, but got same failed results.
    Any help?
    Thanks, Mike

  • "yahoosync has stopped working" error message

    Over the past few weeks I keep getting a "yahoosync has stopped working" error message from iTunes when I try to sync my contacts with yahoo, before this it had worked fine.
    I'm not sure why this is happening but I think it started when I updated my vista to service pack 2.
    I have tried to repair the iTunes installation but that still has not worked, i am desperate to sync my contacts with my yahoo account again.
    Im thinking of maybe un-installing iTunes then reinstalling... BUT am I going to lose all my iphones settings and apps stored on the computer then?

    In my experience (others, please correct me if I'm wrong), uninstalling and re-installing iTunes does not result in any loss of 'Library' (which is where all of the other data is held).
    If you're worried, backup the 'Library' (folder) before you uninstall.
    You should be ok!

  • 'Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working' Error Message

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to 11.  Everything works great while I am using it but if I do not do anthing in Elements for 4-5 minutes I get the 'Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working' error message, the only option I have is to push the 'Close Program' button.  I have been putting up with this but now I cannot do a backup due to this problem.

    Hi, I've just noticed that you too were having problems with elements 11, do you have RoboForm running also on your pc? if yes, try switching it off and see how you go! if it now works close elements, go to RoboForm\options\application integration\ then add Photoshop elements application to the list. Elements and RoboForm clash for some reason. Hope this helps

  • ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message

    3ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message+ Hi
    Please could somebody give me some assistance with the following problem, I have looked through the posts but cannot find anything on this problem.
    A couple of days ago I have tried to open ZENcast Organizer on my computer and got the following error message:
    ''Creative Zencast has stopped working. A program caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'.
    It would not open up ZENcast Organizer and just closed the program.
    I thought there may have been a problem with the program, so I unistalled it etc. and then went to the ZENcast website where I downloaded and installed the newest version which is 2.0.0.
    After restarting my computer etc, I tried to access the program but just get the same error message as above.
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 and have the 32GB Zen.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Wayne

    I have the same system. I am getting the same with ZenCast, although it seems to work more often when I ignore the shortcut and go through the start menu. Strange but seems to work.
    Also on Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer I am getting issues with it stopping after 2 songs and giving me the same error.
    I am going to try to re-install with software from the website. I had used my disk that came with my Zplus because I thought based on what I read here that it was ready to go.
    Will let you know if it gets better or not.

  • ITunes has stopped working error message

    I WANT TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!!
    I have spent all morning looking for solutions to this problem! uninstalled everything to to with Apple, reinstalled it all again and still nothing!!
    When are Apple going to pull their finger out!
    The Error message appears as soon as I click for a CD to be copied. I updated my iTunes this morning to the most recent version and that is when the problem started.
    Can anyone help?, Thankyou

    The Error message appears as soon as I click for a CD to be copied. I updated my iTunes this morning to the most recent version and that is when the problem started.
    There's a bug with 10.1.0.54, Danni, that is causing "iTunes has stopped working messages" (citing CoreAudioToolbox.dll in the Problem Reports for the error) for some folks when importing CDs with the AAC encoding, adding/converting files to AAC, and in some cases syncing devices (when the convert to 128 kbps AAC option is enabled).
    Short of rolling back your iTunes to 10.0.1.22 and your Apple Application Support to 1.3.2 (CoreAudioToolbox.dll is kept in the Apple Application Support program files), there's a few possible workarounds.
    (1) Change your importing prefs to use a different encoding (won't help with the device syncing variation though), and/or disable the convert to 128 kbps AAC when syncing option.
    (2) Replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12576816#12576816
    (3) Or, replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a shadow copy of a 7.9.3.0 as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12583499&#12583499
    (4) Or, if no known-good copy of 7.9.3.0 is available and your PC doesn't have a shadow copy of the 7.9.3.0, you can replace your CoreAudioToolbox.dll version 7.9.4.0 with a 7.9.3.0 by performing some installation gymnastics with the current (11 am 18 Nov NZ time) version of the Safari 5.0.2 installer, as per:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12598386&#12598386
    NB with (4) if you have a 64-bit version of Vista or 7 ... the Apple Application Support program files are instead located at:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
    (2, 3 and 4 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

  • "Itune has stopped working" error message HELP!

    I tried to open up the itune program, double clicks, no response and an error message pops up saying "Itunes stopped working" and then it sends an error report to Microsoft. What do i do? I tried re-installing. SafeMode start. deleted files that were maybe corrupted, as stated in Apple support forums.

    Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
    Otherwise, 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 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.
