Crashing on update and losing Itunes completely

i tried to install the latest update to Itunes. The program crashed and I was advised to reinstall Itunes. This appeared to work but it now tells me that the procedure entry point CMBlock BufferCopyDataBytescould not be located in the dynamic link library core media.dll
I also got error message 7 (windows 127). My lap top is a Sony Vio. Can anyone help??

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.
The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
Any errors?
Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.

I accepted a version update and now iTunes closes on launch with the message "iTunes has stopped working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." What to do?

We've had a windows 8 update and now itunes keeps crashing. Any similar experiences and or solutions?

We have recently gone through an auto update with our windows 8 machine and afterwards iTunes will not function for more than a minute before shutting down. Any similar problems or solutions besides going back to an older restore point?

ICloud appears to have backed up apps, but nothing else after computer crash, IOS update and iphone system restore? How do i get the rest of my media back??

My windows computer crashed last night and shortly thereafter, my iphone updated to IOS 7 and i was forced to do a system restore before i could preform a backup... I tried accessing my old contacts, texts, notes, pics and apps thru icloud (i have it set up to automatically preform backup). It claims that the last back up was after my computer crashed/the update/system restore... I thought all was lost, then went to redownload some old apps. They all appeared with the icloud symbol next to them (instead of "free" or a price), so i'm assuming that i DO have things backed up on icloud? Why are my apps the only media showing back up? Is there a way i can salvage my contacts, texts, pictures and other deleted media still?

Apps are not included in a backup - only a reference to which apps are on the device. They are restored from copies in the app store.
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com. Check the contacts and other pages where your data had been stored. If they are not there, then the only place they could be is in a backup, either to itunes or (/and) icloud. You'd have to restore the backup. If the data is there, then your device is not connected to icloud. Go to Settings>icloud to be sure it's logged into the right account.
As for pictures...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Photoshop CS 5 crashes after updating and then using File -- Automate -- Batch

I am running Photoshop CS5 (build 12.0.4 x32) on my XP 32-bit machine and have done so without major problems until about a week ago.
Then all of a sudden when accessing File --> Automate --> Batch the program crashes and I have to force it shutting down manually after which I can restart Photoshop. When trying to access the batch command hereafter the same crash reappears rendering batch commands useless.
I thought about posting here but then decided to reinstall Photoshop again. This enables the fully working software including batch commands once again. However after a short while the update software asks to download and install some patches for all programs. After doing so the same problem happens again in regards to the batch command. Photoshop crashes when accessing it and won't work at all.
I now repeated this procedure twice and have no idea what to do about it.
Is there anybody that has had this experience or knows about a solution?
Do I have to contact Adobe with an error report?
Any help and comment is welcome and mostly appreciated.

Yes, a change in the Adobe update made the existing scanner bug show up more frequently. No, that does not make your statement correct. The bug exists in the scanner driver, and existed before the Adobe update.
The Adobe update is not the cause of the bug, it just made some unrelated change that made the bug appear more frequently. That could be something as simple as putting different values in different locations of memory. We don't know. Only the authors of the scanner driver can know for sure why it is crashing more often now.
Photoshop supports the TWAIN standard, but cannot be responsible for the bugs in the third party drivers that attempt to implement that standard.
The high frequency of bugs in TWAIN drivers is what made us move the TWAIN plugin to "optional" status in the first place -- because too many people were crashing, had a hard time figuring out the cause, and blamed Adobe for something completely beyond our control.
And we already do inform scanner vendors about all the bugs we find in their drivers. But we cannot force them to fix their bugs, nor can we know the nature of all of their bugs to code around them.
I understand that you're angry. But please stop trying to blame an innocent bystander.
Adobe cannot do anything to fix the bugs in your scanner driver. Only the authors of your scanner driver can fix the bugs in your scanner driver.
Until they provide an update to fix the bugs in the driver, your choices are to keep crashing, or not use that buggy scanner driver.
I am going to make this short.
It depends on how you look at it. From your angle, Adobe did their's and the scanner companies are to blame for their buggy software. What you are saying here would be - if compared - resemble a situation where you would go to a car dealer, buy a car, then drive away just to find that the trailer tow hitch you attached your old trailer to would keep falling off all the time. When confronting the dealer about the issue he would reply to you that you have to talk to the manufacturer of the trailer because the problem is their responsibility. How would you as a client react...?
Maybe it is true that the driver software is buggy. However it still did work though under other conditions before this update. That means that you updated something that made these things appear frequently. Maybe you don't know and only they do. Fair enough. But us customers don't have to work these problems out or live with them nor do we have to use our time on posting and fixing companies' errors and mistakes. That's what we pay you for. We only need to use this application hassle free on the spot. Maybe you should start crash testing in an controlled environment before you apply these updates and then post them. Or make a deal with those companies to do so for you. Maybe they will then ignore you or won't tell you about possible bugs to hike their own skin. Fair enough as well. Create some sort of program, a label or whatever that you apply and hand out only to those companies that are "certified by and working with Adobe software" and that they can put on their products or you on your very own Adobe website for all us customers to see and to use as a type of guidance in order to have working hardware and applications and avoid these errors.
There is this saying that goes...
"Where there's a will, there's a way"...!

Phone crashed after update and will not turn on

I updated my Droid Razr Maxx yesterday and the phone completely crashed and would never start back up after the update. The pgone keeps displaying the Motorola "M" but will not go past that. I have tried to do the soft reset by using the voulume up and power key and the phone will balcck off but when it comes back on it continues to only display the Motorola "M" symbol. I also let the phone completely die to see if that would fix the problem but that did not work either. What could be the cause of this problem? Is there a way to fix this problem?

Let's get your phone back up and running, Keishab! I appreciate all that you've done thus far. Are you able to get your device to power up in the Boot Mode Selection Menu. I've provided the instructions here, http://vz.to/1xyvikX . You do not need to complete the factory reset but I do want to see if it will power up into this menu option.

Just did a software update and now iTunes or other Mac accessories won't work?

I did a software update for my Macbook and now iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb won't work. I keep getting the iTunes quit unexpectedly thing and it sends the report to Apple. Is there anything I can do to fix this???

Download the 10.6.8 combo release from the Apple download site. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) to repair permissions, then apply the combo release, then repair permissions again. That sometimes fixes odd system errors after a Software Update.

Hi, my ipod does not have software update and on itunes it says chack for update but says ipod is up to date

Hi my ipod does not have software update on settings and on itunes it is up to date please give solutions

Thanks. I have been looking for this information for hours too. You answered my question in your list. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and last updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now many of the games are obsolete after being updated. I wish I hadn't updated them now, and I would still have play available. It's sad in this economy that I'll have to purchase a new iPod touch just to play a few simple games. I haven't even had it three years yet. That's what I get for not waiting a few months for the next generation. That's a nice little marketing tactic from Apple .

Computer crashed during update and now I can't access iTunes Store!

Hi! I was going to update my iTunes to the latest version, but my computer crashed halfway through. Ever since then, I can't access the iTunes store! I don't know whether trying to update it again would fix the issue?
Also, when choosing to update it brings me to the "download iTunes" page, it looks like the page you go to when you first download iTunes, and I don't want it to just download a new iTunes and not update my current one. I don't want it to affect my library.

IPad crashed during OS update and now iTunes can't restore

I tried to update the OS on the iPad today and about 10% of the way into the installation, the installation failed. Got an error screen saying I would need to do a restore. I was also referred to a help site at support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
Even more disturbing is that the info in iTunes for the iPad shows "n/a" for the name, capacity, OS version, or serial number. This information showed when I first got the iPad.
I tried a restore and it went through the following steps:
extracting software
verifying iPad restore with Apple
Checking with Apple
preparing for restore
waiting for iPad
a progress bar shows on the iPad but in a few seconds I got the error of iPad could not be restored because of an unknown error of 9
subsequent restore attempts get to the progress bar, but then tells me the device can no be found
I have tried the 2 button restart of the iPad but that has not helped
I have made a copy of my last good iPad back up and have it in reserve if/when needed. Fortunately I do daily syncing of the iPad
Is there a forum solution or is this an Apple solution?

After 10 attempts to restore and 5 restarts, I finally got the iPad to be found and respond. I am now trying to get everything arranged back the way it was. iOS 4.3 got installed and the capacity, size and serial number are back.
Which apps were loaded, and their arrangement is NOT restored and this can be very tedious. Everything was unchecked in iTunes.
Not happy, but i am the road back to where things were.
