Everytime i open itunes it crashes labor day weekend, can not even repair file on pc

anyone know what is going on with iTunes?  every time I open it labor day weekend it crashes.  I can not if go in to the program repair to get it to work again.  I had to do that a couple weeks ago.  but this time it is not working at all.
any ideas?

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 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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    Thank you. Nick

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

  • I recently upgraded to lion 10.7 and now I can't open itunes or do any software upgrades. Not even 10.7.1! Help

    I just upgraded to lion 10.7 and when I tried to use itunes an error message came up saying that itunes may not work with this version of Mac OS X. So I tried to update my software, starting wtih 10.7.1 and it said "Mac OS X update cant be installed on this disk. The volume does not meet hte requirements for this update."
    I have 48.19 GB on my HD so I'm not sure why it's saying that. I tried to do skip ahead to 10.7.5 and it said the same thing.

    I think you're using a Lion developer version. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy Software here. Did you purchase Lion in the App Store?

  • Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

    It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
    But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

    Hi there slp1175!
    It seems like your iTunes library is not pointing to the location of your iTunes Media folder. I have an article for you that can explain how to make your iTunes library source from your iTunes Media folder location, no matter where it is. That article can be found here:

    This is a know problem with the Sony Vaio.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277#8537277
    There is some preloaded software that causes problems, I believe it can be configured to exclude the iTunes folder.
    Sony have released a software update for some models of Vaio but I don't have the link to hand. I guess you could look on their support site.

  • Everytime I open iTunes, my iTunes Match sync is down

    Hi everybody.
    Everytime I open iTunes, my iTunes Match sync is down.
    iTunes show me this icon
    and I need to deactivate and re-activate iTunes Match from the Store menù.
    I have a PC with Win 7 Pro x64.
    I have the last build of iTunes.
    I tried to uninstall it, delete the iTunes folder in AppData folder, WHITOUT delete my playlist and then reinstall it.
    Did someone can help me?

    I have the same issue but do not have McAfee installed.  I am running Win7 64-bit.  Problem solved by following these steps:
    Open Computer from the Start menu.
    From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    Under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK.
    Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
    Restart the computer.

  • Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

    Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
    The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
    I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
    It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.

    With Snow Leopard if you delete a file (put it the trash) and then do a secure delete it's gone.
    The OP is adressing SSD's in particular. Neither Snow Leopard nor Lion have the ability to secure erase an SSD of a single file by user action. This because SSD's write data in pages, but can only delete in blocks. Secure emptying of the trash on an SSD is no different than a non-secure erase, as the controller will not permit erasure of blocks until the entire block is freed, which is almost never the case with even group file deletion. Erasure is simply the re-writing of the "allocation table" that the pages are no longer in use.
    SSD's are only rendered "erased" of previous data after an indeterminate period of use, and re-use that would eventually free blocks for re-write, and then actually over-written.
    TRIM helps speed this process, but does not alleviate the block versus page issue.
    Some additional info.

  • How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes?

    How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes? I have 200 apps and to have to click 200 times for every app to confirm I do not want  to replace my newer version with an older version is a serious bug!  Is there something to click off the check, I have already told the preferences to stop checking for new software!

    I have resolved the problem. Steps to resolution:
    1. Deleted all applications inside the folder "Automatically added to iTunes," many of those apps were also inside the Mobile Applications folder.
    2. Next, I uninstalled iTunes, and downloaded the latest version of iTunes.
    3. Restarted the computer.
    4. Installed the newest version of iTunes. 
    This repaired the problem.
