ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142. After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
I have decided to do nothing for now. Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it. I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.

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.

One solution for 'iTunes has stopped working' message

This worked in my case for iTunes 10.5 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 running 32-bit Vista. Symptoms started after I had to re-install it. Suddenly, whenever I tried to dl anything from the store, the dl would hit 100%, then I'd get the error message and DEP would then shut down the program. Upon re-starting, the dl wouldn't be in my apps list. (However, the actual dl WAS in my iTunes folder -- it's just that iTunes couldn't 'see' it.)
I followed all all -- and I mean ALL -- the Apple guides over the course of 2 days with no success, even after numerous re-installs. Also tried every obsure suggestion I came across in the forums here -- and there were a lot!
What finally worked for me were the suggestions at this link:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/87249-unable-install-latest-version-program-vi sta.html
Following the suggestions there, I discovered uninstalled 'debris' residing in the App Data\Local and App Data\Roaming folders, specifically two Apple folders with content. I manually deleted these. These locations aren't mentioned in the Apple guide to manually uninstalling your iTunes. (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923)
I also discovered debris throughout the registry which I removed manually with regedit. (Make backups of your registry before you go rummaging around in there! The usual warnings apply...)
I also found two Quicktime files residing in the main Windows directory. (Ver 10.5 no longer installs Quicktime and I had un-installed my previous versions) I don't think these made a difference but 'off with their heads' anyway. (^-~)
BTW, all of this occurs after I used Revo Uninstaller in moderate mode. So even it didn't catch all the leftover debris. (I'm not brave enough to try it on a more aggressive setting...)
Thought I pass this on in hopes it saves someone some grief....

After upgrading, I am getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message. I've followed all of the troubleshooting tips on the forum without success. Fortunately, it works on my other computers. Running Win7 pro.

After upgrading iTunes, I'm getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message after launch. I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the Forum without success (though most are pretty old...). Fortunately, iTunes works on my other computers, but I have iPad backups on this one that I'd like to keep. Anybody else with this issue??

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!

HT203175 After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

HELP PLEASE - "itunes has stopped working" message....

When I open itunes it opens up but after about 2 seconds a message comes up from Windows saying "itunes has stopped working" and that Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. It then stops checking and a new message comes up saying "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" it doesn't come up with a solution and the the only available option it gives me is to close the program. I got the same problem a couple of weeks ago but it recommended that I install itunes 7.3 which i did and it has worked fine up until today.
It just so happens that I ordered a new 80gb ipod that I'm expecting tomorrow, so any help would really be appreciated.

Are you still having the issue? Do you regularly download podcasts? If so, take a look at the Download folder that appears under the Store on the left side of iTunes. Do you get the message when the Download folder appears?
If so, it might be a "bad podcast". I've been having the above issue for about 1 week and it turns out that there somehow was a bad entry in the list... As soon as iTunes trying to download it, it crashed. I deleted the entry and the problem went away...
It the meantime, I've set iTunes to only Manually download podcasts.

Everytime I try to launch the iTunes store I get a message that iTunes has stopped working and that windows is searchning for a solution to the problem, but nothing gets fixed

"itunes has stopped working" message when syching iphone

Need help..
Ever since I installed the update for the apple software on my PC, when I try to sync my iphone 4 on the last step of synching I get a window popping up saying that "itunes has stopped working". Then I get prompted to close the programme.
I run Windows 7, and cannot understand why it does this.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Not sure what you've seen/tried so far, so I'll run you through my standard advice as of this morning, Marty.
There's a bug with 10.1.0.54, Amanda, 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
(3 and 4 do help with the device-syncing variation.)

Itunes has stopped working message whenever I sync photos to my iphone

I am using itunes 10.4.1.10 (the latest) and an iPhone (4.2.10) on windows 7. I have always used itunes to sync photos to my iphone and it was working great. For the last month or so itunes stops working when it gets to the photo optimization and sync. I recieve a message that itunes has stopped working. I have deleted the ipod photo cashe folder several times with no effect. The phone syncs fine if I do not select any photos. I have tried different photo folders and the same thing happens. It seems to be volume related but it worked perfectly in the past. Please help! I love having my photos on my phone.

Same exact problem with my iPod Touch ever since updating iTunes to 10.4.1. I've reinstalled iTunes and still no progress. What the ****, Apple?

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it.

If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.

Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

People please help me out! I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB). I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video. I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
Uninstall Quicktime
Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
Reset the iPod (several times)
Delete TEMP files on computer
Restart the computer (several times)
Use a different cable and a different USB port
The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors. My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
Thanks very much!

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:

Why do I continue to receive an iTunes has Stopped Working error after finally updating to 11.1.4?

Like many here it seems, in updating iTunes to 11.1.4 I received the Error 7 (windows error 126) error, as well as the MSVCR80.DLL is missing error. With help from this site, I managed to fully uninstall iTunes and then reinstall 11.1.4. The iTunes program will now open, but within 1-2 seconds it will crash with the error message "iTunes has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." This error happens every time the program is opened. I am using a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve it? I sure would love to be able to use my iTunes library again!

did u fix it yet?
if u did can u help me cuz i havent use my itunes in like 3 days and its driving me crazy

I get the "firefox has stopped working" message after closing browser

Hello.
My problem is that when I close the FireFox browser I get the "FireFox has stopped working" message. It's pretty annoying. I've read some other posts here that described a similar problem and have tried some of the suggestions in them including:
A clean install, a browser reset, running in safe mode, unchecking hardware acceleration, disabling extentions and plugins one at a time, uninstalling my antivirus (avast), rolling back to version 23.01 and checking run in compatibility mode that someone claimed helped them. None of this was effective.
It seems like after a computer restart the browser will be ok for 2-4 closings and then it will start with the message on every closing. Also, after I uninstalled avast it was good for 6 closings. Rolling back also gave me about 6 message free closings. But then the messages start and doesn't stop.
Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

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.

Itunes has stopped working message during download

My apologies if this has been discussed before, I'm new. I have a recurring problem: occassionally during a song download from Itunes the message "Itunes has stopped working" appears. Subsequently iTunes shuts down. Upon reopening the desired song is not listed in the library, though iTunes thinks it is and I'm charged for the purchase. I can report a problem and iTunes will make it available for download. This gets incovenient however, and no suggested fix has yet prevented this from recurring. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any suggestions? Thanks?

Good. That rules out old QuickTime componentry lurking about in unorthodox locations in your system files.
The next most likely causes of a StackHash result are user-account specific troubles, like damage to library files or preference files in your normal Vista user account.
So try creating a new Vista user account as per the instructions from the following document:
[iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
Does iTunes launch without the error message in the new user account?
If so, try steadily working through the suggestions in the *User-specific troubleshooting* section of the document. Do any of those measures get your iTunes launching again in the usual user account?
