"An error occured when trying to run iTunes.exe"

The problem I have occures when opening iTunes or when it has been open for approximately one minute. There's this error message poping up and tells me that iTunes ran into a problem and has to be closed. This also appears when trying to add music to the library before the error pops up.
I've tried about everything to correct the problem such as rebooting after install, reinstall, download different versions etc.
It doesn't seem to be able to solve. And that's why I ask you. I've never heard of anyone else facing this problem so I need tips.

hi Christopher!
There's this error message poping up and tells me that iTunes ran into a problem and has to be closed. This also appears when trying to add music to the library before the error pops up.
hmmm. you're right, that one is exotic.
recently, however, i've been seeing more and more unusual errors pop up when people have antivirus applications (or antispyware applications) blocking access to the itunes library. so let's try an experiment. does your itunes behave itself if you launch it (or do the other activities) under those circumstances?
keep us posted.
love, b

HT2305 error occurs when trying to download itunes for 64-bit onto laptop. How do i download?

After trying to download the 64 bit version of itunes, it says errors occurred before it configured the system. How do i download itunes if it won't let me? I have tried several times.

Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:

Error message: When trying to run iTunes

I've just installed iTunes and I'm trying to run it, but every time i 'Agree' to the iTunes Software Liscence Agreement, I get an error that states,
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
I've tried making a folder inside my My Music folder, named iTunes, but the problem still persists.

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks!

Error occured when trying to install iTunes 11.0.4

I'm having a problem trying to install iTunes 11.0.4 on Windows 7. I tried to perform a clean boot and restarting my computer and that doesn't work.

Hey, CardsFan
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
That is a very common problem,
- Just uninstall the whole software.
- Use a registry cleaner software and clean the reg
- Restart the pc
- Download fresh copu of itunes from the Apple site
- Install
And them you are done.
I really hope this helps you. Let me know if it does. If not feel free to give me a shout. Best of luck.

TS2278 Error Occured when trying to play iTunes on Apple TV with PC

Are you only having trouble streaming from this particular PC or any network client to the Apple TV? How is the PC connected to the network, specifically by wire or wireless? What is the make and model of your wireless router? I assume that the Apple TV is connected by wireless to this same router ... correct? What operating system is your PC running?

Error message when trying to open iTunes.exe

I love itunes and everything, and its been working really great until recently (about 2 days ago) in which my iTunes stopped working. I get a message which says:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable."
I went to the support section for iTunes on here on how to check these files and things and found that one file causes the problem, in which the support told me to delete it and try running it. Well I did that and the License Agreement pops up and I click agree, then the error message pops up and the file that I deleted gets redownloaded into the folder.
I have also tried reinstalling it and that has not done anything to help either. Please Help!

From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 ::
Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
In some cases an issue with the digital signing of certain Windows XP drivers can prevent iTunes from launching. Use the following steps to correct such issues:
1. Highlight all of the following 4 lines of text that begin with regsvr32 and then choose Copy from the Edit menu of your web browser:
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
2. Open the Notepad program by navigating to:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
3. In Notepad, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Note: make sure that the text that appears in Notepad is the same as what is shown above.
4. From the File menu, choose Save As.
5. In the File name: field type iTunes.bat and save the file to the Desktop.
6. Close Notepad and locate the iTunes.bat file. It should appear on the Desktop.
7. Double-click the file and you will see a black window appear on the screen for about a minute. Wait until the window automatically disappears and proceed to the next step.
8. The iTunes.bat file can be deleted at this time.
9. Try opening iTunes again.

I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

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.
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.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Help ....Error message when trying to open itunes 11 after installing..cant solve it !!!

Keep getting an error message when trying to open iTunes 11 after installing...running Windows ...have tried most fixes ...message says ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Also when iTunes first opesn after installing ....the message come up that says "A required iTunes component is not installed .please repair or reinstalll iTunes (-45075)"
Have repaired , reinstalled , created and used a restore point etc etc
How do I fix this !!! Please

...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy :(

Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy Happened after an upgrade. Can anyone help?

By way of experiment, let's try launching iTunes as an administrator.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Does it launch without the -50 now?

"an error occurred when trying to change modules"

When I switch repeatedly between Library and Develop with the R and E keys, I always sooner or later run into a problem where nothing happens when I press R. Really that should go the Develop module and enter crop mode -- what I'm usually trying to do, when this happens, is crop a bunch of photos. So I'll be using Library mode to identify the photos that need cropping, stepping through photos with the arrow keys, then when I find one that I want to crop, I press R, enter develop+crop mode, crop the photo, press E to return to library+loupe view, and continue.
Sometimes this works 10 times, sometimes it only works twice, but always, relatively soon, when I press R, "nothing" will happen. Actually what's happening is an error dialog appears saying "an error occurred when trying to change modules", then the error dialog immediately disappears before I can read it. I know what it says, because if I click the Develop module with the mouse, I get the same message but it sticks around until I press OK.
Once this happens, I'm entirely unable to use the Develop module until I quit the program. I had to quit and restart LR about 20 times during an hour of working with it last night, and this morning, in the first 15 minutes, I'm already on the 3rd restart.
Anyone else see this?
Details: LR 1.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10, 4-core Mac Pro, images are a mix of JPG from a pocket camera and NEF from a Nikon D40. I don't think it is related to the specific images, as it strikes apparently at random, and after exit and restart, I can crop that same photo, but a different one will eventually cause the same problem again.

Sean, thanks for the Return key tip. I knew about that at one point, but lately I was trying to use Enter (the one on the numeric keypad, at the very lower right corner of the keyboard, which is really easy to hit with my thumb even when my hand is on the mouse! And Enter doesn't invoke the crop, so I forgot that Return did). That is a better way.
I don't see the RE problem on my MacBook, only on my desktop computer, and that one is also experiencing other flakiness (
metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm) so I think I'm going to try a complete reinstall there.

HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

I also found this in another post
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
