Itunes has encountered a problem & needs to close - HELP!

Hi lovely people. Please help me. My iTunes just won't work. It won't open & when I click it the following appears:
*iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
Data contained in the error report is:
*AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.2.25 ModName: unknown*
*ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: b984065e*
Please help because I have had my new Lostprophets CD for a week & I NEED to listen to it! I have 3 accounts on my pc & all are having the same issue. Also, Quicktime displays the same error. Please help, I'll be eternally grateful x

Ta, Amanda!
When you get back to the PC, if the QuickTime problem is a BEX and the QuickTime control panel error message is:
An exception occured while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuckTime"
... (the key here is that the message shows that the QuickTime.cpl is down in the \system32\ folder), then try proceeding as per my instructions to zach in the following post:

Itunes has encountered a problem and must close..send error report etc.

I upgraded itunes (not even sure why since my old version was working fine) and now I keep getting the error that "itunes has encountered a problem and must close...". I did try the "msconfig" advice but that did not work. I even tried to use the CD that came with my ipod (March 2005) and the only option I get is to "uninstall" which I hesitate to do because I do not want to loose my itunes library. Does anybody have any other suggestions?? I greatly appreciate any help. I have read through some threads, but some of the "help" links that were inserted are no longer working.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem.
I updated to 8.1 and it closes as soon as the shuffle is plugged in.
So I tried disabling auto-sync. No luck
So I tried loading an older version of iTunes - says I have to have 8.1
So I tried uninstalling and removing all itunes related files - and reinstalling. Still closing every time I plug in.

"iTunes has encountered a problem and must close" message opening iTunes?

Every time I try to open iTunes or Quicktime from my desktop or anywhere else, this message comes up: "iTunes has encountered a problem and must close. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please click here to send an error report." Because of another problem on my computer, I have had to reinstall all my progams recently, including iTunes, but after installing and reinstalling a number of times yesterday, it cannot open. Other programs, like skype, are all working fine. Can someone help me figure out why my system can't open iTunes?

You can find version 6.0.1 at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm.

I have installed iTunes on my new windows 7 dell laptop every time I start it it comes up with an error saying itunes has encountered a problem and it closes ? any answers have tried command prompt reset and it has not resolved it also un/reinstalled

I have installed iTunes on my new laptop OS Windows 7. I have two iphones, a 3rd gen nano and an ipod classic.
Since the install yesterday I keep getting an error message which itunes has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a soluion is available.
I have un and re installed and followed a command promt reset.
I still have the problem. Any ideas?

Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Itunes has encountered an error & needs to close

I keep getting the above message when trying to open itunes.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes & quicktime without sucess. Also tried going back to various restore points that I know itunes worked ok.
My spyware (adaware) and anti-virus (avg) are both up to date and have been run recently. A few spyware tracking cookies were found and dealt with; nothing was found by anti-virus.
I am now at a total loss and would appreciate any assistance

Hi Pat. It seems that we have exactly the same problem. I did ask the question yesterday but nobody has answered yet. Cross my fingers that either you or me willl get a helping answer soon.

"Apple Mobile Backup" has encountered a problem & needs to close!?

I receive this message anytime I try to sync my iPhone. It will sync my music, but won't sync anything else. I have repaired, uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes 7.3 but still cannot sync the unit. What do I need to do to fix this!?

I would recommend doing a full restore.
Open iTunes, on the Summary tab select "restore" and it will automatically backup any settings that you have on your iPhone and it will save your contacts.
Note: when you restore your iPhone, you will have to resync the videos, music, movies, etc. after the restore has taken place.
The whole process takes about 10-20 minutes and is fairly simple...
Hope it works out for you, and God bless

Apple Software Update has encountered a problem & needs to close.

That's the error message I get everytime I try to install the 7.5 version of Itunes on my computer. For more information it shows, problem is with softwareupdate.exe, appversion 2.0.0.2.1 modname unknown and modversion 0.0.0.0 offset is 003e9587. I have tried to bypass it, but my Itunes list won't go onto my Ipod until I have this newest version installed. My ex set up my Itunes for me so I don't know if there is a problem there. I also tried to figure out how to Eject before Disconnecting and don't know how to do that either. Is the button for that on the Ipod itself or supposed to be on my Itunes screen? Really confused and would love some help... thanks!

I may have figured out the problem as the version of Itunes that keeps trying to download isn't compatible with my version of windows. What is the newest version that does download for Windows XP? Is there a way to bypass having to download the newest version of Itunes? Anyone know about how to disconnect/eject the plug from the Ipod?
Thanks!

I tune has encountered a problem & need to close

can somebody tell me how i connot connected i tune music store after the update

Benny, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread, It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
When you repost, please be sure to include full details about your system, application versions, and what you've already tried. Then perhaps someone will be able to suggest something to sort it out.
Good luck.

ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close message

I started getting this message after downloading a free video I got through Starbucks. At this same time I purchased a video and downloaded it. At first I just couldn't manually drag the video into my iPod and then whenever I tried to play any video, even one I could previously play, I would get the error message iTunes has encountered a problemand needs to close. I tried to fix the proble myself so I uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes; then I restored my iPod. Now, I cannot sync my iPod. Whenever I plug my iPod into my computer to sync it it closes with the same error message. And, I still cannot play any of the videos in iTunes. I have not seen this problem addressed so if you can help me I would appreciate it a lot!!!! Thanks!

I ended up calling tech support after failing to fix this problem myself. I deleted iTunes and iPod from my computer. I reinstalled both. I reset my iPod and I restored it. Nothing worked. Tech support suggested I delete QuickTime and reinstall it. That worked like a charm. I can now sync my iPod again and ALL my videos play on it.

Itunes has encountered a problem and has to close.

When I opened iTunes the first time today, I had no problem, but then I went to the store, then my computer froze, so I closed it.. And now I downloaded the update and whenever I try to open it a box pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and must close.. " Or at least something like that.
You also might find this information helpful:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.1.0.79 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000000dd
and yes, my quicktime works fine..

Yup, I've got the same problem although it's installed but now it just won't open and says it has a problem and has to close instantly the second you click a shortcut.
hi Frenchy!
you don't say explicitly so i'll ask you too. have you tried this procedure yet?
b noir, "itunes has encountered a problem. help please?" #8, 04:10pm Sep 18, 2005 CDT
make sure you follow the instructions precisely. if for any reason you can't complete the cleanup instructions, post back to describe the problem.
if your itunes still isn't launching after you try that, we'd better check to see if you've got a rare registry problem that can also produce the same error message.
we diagnose that by creating a new user account (with full administrative privileges). you can do that in your "user accounts" control panel. there's help documentation on it to the left of the screen. while you're in there, also switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
now log on to the new user account. can you successfully launch itunes from inside there?
keep us posted on your progress.
