Itunes crashes when iTunes Match runs its Step 3 (not before) - any ideas why and how to fix it?

Every time iTunes runs the iTunes Match, when iTunes MAtch gets to Step 3 - iTunes stops working - ie crashes. Any idea why and how to fix it? The songs are still uploaded to iCloud etc... but it crashe iTunes every single time

I cannot explain the failure, but I can tell you that I have a string of approx. 24 emails with Apple and a combined 10hrs of talk time with Apple customer reps that tried helping me precisely for the issue that iTunes Match would crash at Step 3 without fail. Apple even logged my Console and I was talking to an engineer that literally wrote part of the code for iTunes Match (that was the fourth and last level of customer care I was escalated to). The poor man almost quite his job, and I just about demanded a refund for my $25, since iTunes Match simply wasn't working.
Then I studied at a friend's place, and I noticed that all of a sudden, while iTunes was running in the background, half my library was already uploaded and things were progressing smoothly. It turns out that it had something to do with my modem specifically, as I had already hooked up my computer straight to the modem, taking the router (TimeCapsule) out of the equation. Nothing worked. Firewalls were turned off, no AntiVirus existed, and Apple engineers tried everything possible, incl. remote access on my computer, to get this to work. Nothing worked as long as I was connected to a Motorola Surboard.
At every other network, wether at Starbucks, my university, or at friends places, however, iTunes Match worked flawlessly.
After some research online, it turnes out that a handful of people with Motorola Surrboard Xtreme cable modems had similar issues. Eversince, I simply use my neighbors wifi should I need to upload songs, and I have no issues. Oddly enough, matching (not uploading) works just fine with my Motorola.
Don't ask me how or why, I am interested in computers and work with them a lot, but I am no engineer. I can tell you that simple scientific method pinpointed to the modem, and I haven't had issues since then.

For some inexplicable reason Quicktime no longer plays a lot of my avi clips, this was not an issue a year and a half ago, any idea why and how to fix this? Also the clips no longer have a thumbnail, everything was fine till recently.

Recently I am unable to play AVI videos on quicktime that I have never had any problems playing before, the thumbnails of the clips also don't display. Has there been some change to Quicktime as there was never an issue since I've had my macbook pro from 2012 till present. Note some AVIs still work, the issue is more the fact the thumbnails don't display as I do have an alternative player that can play these clips. Any suggestions but mostly solutions are appreciated!

When pugging in my ipod touch on itunes, it says this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started. What can be done to remedy this? Up till yesterday I have not had this problem

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

When get on itunes and i plug my phone it is says (this Iphone cannot be used beacuse the apple moblie Device service is not started.) why is that cause it was just working and syncing find yesterday please help

can someone help me figure this out my phone wont sync cause it says -This phone cannot be used because the apple moblie device service is not started. why ? it worked fine yesterday

That is because your apple mobile device service is not started.
The apple mobile device is the thing that allows your phone to communicate with your computer. First thing to try is restarting your computer then plugging your phone in. Check with activity monitor / task manager to see if it is running.

HT1386 I get a message when I open my iTunes "The iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not stated" can you help?

That website will allow you to either start, or restart the AMDS (Apple mobile device service)

Is this a Windows error? If so, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. If you do, try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, try manually starting the service.

Installed 11 64 bit now get "The iPHone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."

Installed iTunes 11 64 bit now get "The iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." Uninstalled and installed twice no help. windows 7 64 bit, iPhone 5 OS 5.1

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

So, only on certain web pages, eg newspapers on-line, the screen appears grey-shaded. It is just possible to read the content. But I cannot click on any links. And sometimes the screen opens at the bottom of the page.
