Airtunes crashes iTunes- Windows XP

I've spent hours searching through these forums for help and so far nothing has worked. When I try to connect to my remote speakers, iTunes crashes with the generic Windows error: "an unexpected error has occurred."
I am running Windows XP SP2.
My Airport Express is connected directly to my modem and works fine as a wireless access point.
I have updated the firmware to 6.3.0.1
I have tried disabling all firewalls.
I have tried iTunes 7.0.2 and iTunes 6.0.5
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I looked in the event monitor and it usually says that the module that crashed is unknown, though a couple of times I have seen the javascriptcore.dll file listed as the faulting module.
Hmmmm. If we can trust the second sort of message, you've got a problem with your Apple Application Support.
What version of iTunes are you currently running, Cha?

Accessing the iTunes Store crashes iTunes (Windows XP)

I run iTunes on XP. Over the last month, I can open iTunes just fine. But as soon as I access the iTunes Store, I get a Windows error message (that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close, etc.). I looked in the event monitor and it usually says that the module that crashed is unknown, though a couple of times I have seen the javascriptcore.dll file listed as the faulting module.
Usually, it will crash when I get to the halfway point of opening the store. Upon rare occasion, I can get to the point of searching, but as soon as I choose a result, iTunes crashes.
I had this to happen one time before and it resolved itself. It happened again a couple of months ago and I followed the Apple approved steps to cleanly uninstall and reinstall all products related to iTunes. It worked for a couple of weeks and started up again.
Additional facts: Podcasts update just fine, as long as I don't try to go to the podcast site. Also, I have Safari installed and it also crashes almost immediately when opening.
I really need to find the root cause, especially if Apple wants me to buy anymore stuff from the store!

Airtunes streaming skips in iTunes 10 Mac but not iTunes windows

I have had problems with airtunes for a fair while now, definately the whole time i've had itunes 10, but recently noticed that using the same computer (MBP booted to Windows 7 using iTunes Windows) it streams perfectly. So now I'm really confused. Help!
Problem:
Here is the problem. Mac iTunes 10, play music streaming to me Airport express, will start to play then stop, pause, start, pause, play.... aarrrggg. Doesn't matter which song.
Environment:
I have Airport Extreme connected to Linksys modem. Wireless g/n network connecting to Airport express which is hard wired to stereo. Wireless network is perfect except for this airtunes issue, and support various mobile devices plus n and g apple notebooks. My main computer is Macbook Pro with dual boot windows 7 and mac snow leopard. I've recently found that itunes only behaves badly in Mac mode!
Diagnosis:
Have tried switching wireless channel from 1, 7, 11 etc to remove interferrence - but identified that this does not remove the issue.
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes windows on same computer and works FINE
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on iPhone 3GS with iOS5 and works about 50% (skipping, but not as bad as from mac, but unacceptable quality)
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on Macbook Pro with snow leopard and iTunes 10 and basically skips constantly

Your issue sounds similiar to mine- https://discussions.apple.com/message/18747381#18747381
However, Apple can't seem to fix it...

Itunes keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!!

After new Itunes update ... it keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!! I have unninstalled it .. installed it, but nothing happens. I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

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.

Match crashes iTunes on Windows.

I took up Match for the sole reason that I wanted DRM-free versions of music I bought years ago, but Match just crashes iTunes. I have a library of 24000 songs and although Match gets a long way through Step 3, it doesn't complete. When I restart iTunes I get a "iTunes detected a problem with Match, please sign out and back in again". When I sign out, it crashes again. Then on the 2nd restart it allows me to sign out and back in again...
iTunes 12.0.1.26, Windows 7 x64.
How do I report this properly to Apple? I can't see how to do so without a supported piece of hardware, which I don't have.

tjo-wton,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue or question you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

How is your iTunes "spacebar" looks like?

Gathering Genius information in iTunes 10.5 crashes iTunes in Windows 7.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no success. All other iTunes functions work. I can update Podcasts, purchase music and sync my iPhone but I can't run/update Genuis without crashing iTunes. I get the 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" The progress bar gets to "Gathering Information about your library" every time when it crashes. I have the latest iTunes and iPhone 4s software installed. Anyone else having this problem? Or can offer a solution?

I just experienced an issue that I believe to be the same, but it occurred after I tried to move my iTunes library to a new computer. I did so by creating a new library, then adding the previous library's "iTunes Media" folder into the new library. Everything copied over just fine, but every time I try to enable Genius, it lets me sign in, agree to the license, and then it crashes iTunes with the same message you described above.
I didn't sync any devices, I do have Home Sharing enabled (so the PC is authorized), and I don't quite know what's up. Genius worked on the previous computer perfectly.
The new PC's details: Windows 7 (SP1) 64-bit, 2GB RAM, ~1.0 Mbps download connection, 1 Ghz Dual-core AMD processor.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

ITunes/Window 7 Creative XiFi Stuck in Stereo and ITunes Crashes

@ITunes/Window 7 Creative XiFi Stuck in Stereo and ITunes CrashesuI am about to return my Creative X-Fi USB card, cause it doesn't seem to handle anything other than 2 channel audio.
The Creative X-Fi driver only shows 2-channel audio in it's driver config, which leads me to beli've it can't do 5..
The first time I put ITunes into surround mode, I was installing the Creative software, it prompted to install. I said yes, and it crashed. A few reboots later... Now everytime I put ITunes into Surround mode in play back it crashes every time. I've uninstalled the driver and reinstalled to no avail. ITunes can't go into surround mode for HD video playback.
I am using the optical connection to my stereo,? the creative software doesn't seem to recognize it as a 5. device.
What am I missing here? 5. shouldn't be this hard to get working..
thanks!

I have the same problem (I use IE 7 as my browser). I have had the same problem with all the versions 7.1 as well. There have been numerous posts about it and it seems that Apple does not want to fix this. I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 7.0x via

this version is once again working fine!

ITunes Windows stops responding with Airtunes

Playing music in iTunes works fine.
When using Airtunes, whole iTunes stops responding after some minutes! Only help is switching iTunes off and restart. But after some minutes same issue.
Any ideas? Somebody?

the update might be choking on a song file (or files).
finding which song file is involved can be tricky. but some folks have been having some success using Roy B's instructions from the following post:

If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
You may want to try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
2. Enter the following command:
netsh winsock reset
3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.
