ITunes no longer works

So I've tried posting several times about this issue but it doesn't seem that other people are having this problem. iTunes crashes every time I attempt to open the store or use the match feature and it only seems to affect my Windows 8 machine. On my other PC, running Windows 7, it runs fine, does anybody have any advice it has been several weeks and several postings that this issue has persisted. Re installing does not help. Thanks for any help, but I'm not holding my breath.

Reinstalling iTunes won't get rid of the actual music files.
That being said, you still need a backup strategy in case of disaster.

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.

Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My old computer with itunes no longer works. If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?

Yes, you will.
Do you have the songs still?
You could add them to your new library if you do.

HT204368 after downloading ios7, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car)- but other programs (pandora) work just fine

After downloading ios 7.02, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car), but other music apps work fine. iTunes and iTunes radio work fine though headset and on speaker, but won't work through bluetooth.
Anything that can be changed in 'settings' or with my iTunes so I can use it through my blue tooth?

Hi, milljam7.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

The shuffle button in itunes no longer works

the shuffle button in itunes no longer works. it used to work fine.

That's weird.
Here are some random thoughts, sorry if they're not too awesome.
* Do you get the Manage Widgets window with no list in it? OR not even the window?
* How long do you wait for your list to pop up? On my (admittedly ancient)
powerbook, it may take a few seconds the first time I try it.
* You might consider looking at the Console log messages (set to "All messages") to see if
there are any error messages being generated when you ask to "Manage Widgets".
* You might try removing all your widgets manually via the ~/Library/Widgets folder. This
could be a workaround, I guess, too. But my thought is maybe there is a bad widget in there which is somehow clogging up the Manage Widgets thing.

ITunes no longer works on PC

My iTunes no longer updates or is recognized by my PC. I keep getting errors about installed incorrectly and to try again, also failed. Thought it was just my computer so tried my other PC, it went down for the count as well. My friends have the same problems. I see nothing for a fix except people saying to uninstall and reinstall. Not working. Help

Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following user tip?

Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
I copied this from another discussion.
Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
Here is the discussion.

ITunes no longer working after Song Upgrade.

I got onto iTunes store, was offered to upgrade 32 of my songs, I said "Yes". After the upgrading completed, iTunes main window pane no longer worked for anything but the iTunes store. It will play my music if I manually select it from the disk (via Finder) but does not seem to be able to display any of my playlists or my music library.
I am running Safari 3.0 (as an FYI).
Mac OS X 10.4.9 (on an intel mini).

Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling, or repairing the current copy of iTunes alone doesn't fix the problem....
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour

After an update, iTunes no longer works

I'm sorry for such a long story. Several weeks ago, iTunes informed me of an available update. I clicked to update. The next time I open iTunes, the iTunes store no longer worked. Everything else worked fine. I solved this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling. The next time an update was available, this entirely same process happened. After finally getting everything working smoothly for several days yet another update was available. This update being 10.4.1. Fearing the same problem and not having time to deal with it, I declined the update. The next time I opened iTunes, my library no longer existed. The files are on my hard drive still so I attempted to reload them to iTunes. iTunes acts like it is loading the files but in reality is not loading them. Once it is finished, they are still not in my iTunes library. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 10 different times. I am always careful to uninstall all apple related files ie. QuickTime, Bonjour, etc... I have even gone so far as to restore my computer to a previous date. How can I fix this problem?

Don't know. Not my area of expertise. I was just trying to help in some way. You can check this:

Itunes no longer working on PC

itunes was working on PC until attempt to download update 10.2.2 now it's no longer working error message
Please help!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive. There's XP instructions in the following document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

IMovie, Garageband, iPhoto and iTunes no longer working together.

I have seen several variations of this issue but NO solutions.
I work with iMovie almost every day; up until a month ago, all four (iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto and iTunes) worked together perfectly.
iMovie no longer asks to make thumbnails of the videos in iPhoto when opening iMovie.
When opening the iphoto media browser, I am told to open iPhoto..
When opening the itunes media browser in iMovie, I get the same message "open itunes..."
I have opened those apps and iMovie is not recognizing that they are open.
Garageband no longer recognizes iTunes - again, I am getting the message to "open iTunes";
Last night I discovered that iTunes no longer offers me the option of syncing selected iPhoto albums to my iPhone and iPad; the only option I have is to sych my entire iPhoto Library file.
I have posted these issues in iMovie and iPhoto forums and always am given a workaround but no solution; or I am told to ask the quesiton in another forum. I am posting THIS in all of the forums, so please do not suggest that I need to go to another forum.
I have searched all similar threads and found others who are having the same issue but seem to never be given a solution.
I have found temporary work arounds (exporting photos from iPhoto as slideshows and then importing them into iMovie; creating a Loop in Garageband which I export to iTunes to my "playlist" which is THEN recognized by Garageband and can be used in iMovie.
Any help for this will be greatly appreciated.

This solved my question by Old Toad on Aug 1, 2013 1:43 PM
Try the following:
Delete the following two preference files from your Home/Library/Preferences folder:
com.apple.iApps.plist
com.apple.iApps.lockfile
Launch iPhoto and then iMovie and check the Media Browser again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
