If you're not using an iTouch or iPhone, just get rid of that AppleMobileDevice.exe program from your PC.
Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
I got rid of it and I can still sync my older iPods, no problem. Also, itunes doesn't hang when I try to shut it down.

If you have an itouch or iphone, maybe those forums will have another solution.

Itunes has stopped working error keeps popping up and it shuts down my itunes

Hi, Everytime I go into my itunes store it gives me a error that itunes is shutting down. WHY? and what do I do to stop this and get back to purchasing itunes?

no error code just iTunes has stopped working

AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working

When I attempt syncing iPhone 3GS with laptop, am constantly getting "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" message, and iTunes hangs. My new laptop is a Dell Studio 1555, Windows 7 64-bit. The phone was syncing contacts and everything ok with my former Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop, as well as my Dell PC at work (both running Windows XP Pro). Since purchasing the new laptop, I have had difficulty syncing my contacts to the phone. At first when i plugged in iPhone to sync, system would start syncing; it may have even worked ok the first time. But after that, every time I try to sync, iTunes hangs. When it hangs I use Task Manager to exit the program; most often now, i get the error message "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". Of course I have lost all of my contacts and ringtones on the phone, and am unable to re-sync to get contacts back on my phone. Here is latest crash message from today:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes,as I had seen recommended somewhere in Apple Support, but it did not work. As soon as I plugged in phone to sync, the message came back. By the way I am set up to manually manage music, etc. on the iPhone sync.
I have seen this issue but I don't remember didn't seeing any with my particular configuration. Is there anyone out there who has been able to fix this problem on their system? Help?!

Spoiler has stopped working message appears when trying to print Gmails

When I try to print my Gmails from my Galaxy S5 mobile phone wirelessly I keep getting Spoiler message has stopped working message appears.
I am not very technical and can only use a touchscreen device as I am a Disabled Lady so need help desperately but need dummy language please.
It scans okay.
PLEASE COULD ANYONE HELP ME ASAP AS I NEED MY GMAILS PRINTED BY THIS AFTERNOON.

Hi @dolphinlady13
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are getting a message indicating the ‘spoiler’ has stopped working.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information?
Are you using the HP ePrint app to print the emails? If no are you using an HP app to print the emails?
Do you still get the same message after you have turned the phone off, waited a full minute and then turned the phone back on?
Have you tried the solution suggested on the Android Central Forums in the thread titled cloud print. print spooler on kitkat since the Galaxy S5 runs an Andorid operating system?
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,

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!

"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.)

HELP!! AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working

HELP!
Whenever I open iTunes Windows displays a message that says, "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working. Windows will notify you when a solution is available." Also when I plug my ipod into my computer iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in.

For this one on Vista machines, the following announcement has some troubleshooting tips:

I get a "Palm desktop by access application has stopped working" message when switching to the Month calendar view.

I have a Z22 and am running Access version 6.2.2 on a PC with Vista.
When I move from Day, Week or Year to Monthly view in the Calendar, I get the "Palm Desktop by Access Application has stopped working" (and then the Windows message saying they are checking for a solution, which they never seem to find).
Does any one know 1) how to fix this and 2) what is the cause ? Am I running old software which I need to update ?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem. I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it. I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions. I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned. I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks much!

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.

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

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....

Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

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.

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.
