How to fix 12.1.1.4 iTunes keeps crashing on Windows 8.1

How do I fix iTunes 12.1.1.4 which keeps crashing on Windows 8.1 (64 bit)?

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
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 are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • 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.)

  • ITunes keeps crashing in Windows 8.1

    Hi Guys,
    I'm currently having major problems with my 1st Generation iPod Touch.
    The problem I'm having is that I've done a restore on my iPod and it's put everything back on but to finalise the restore and verify it, iTunes recgonises my iPod Touch like normal and then it loads the iTunes store and then it crashes and says "iTunes has stopped working" and "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I am running Windows 8.1.
    I have managed to keep my iPod connected and quickly run a diagnostics report before it crashes and I have that available if needed. I have tried various solutions I have found across the net and topics found on here to but to no avail. I'm just worried that I basically have an iPod that can't do anything or there is something wrong with iTunes. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times but to no success either. I can't use the iPod at all and just displays the connect iPod to computer and iTunes images on the iPod whenever I connect it.
    Please help as I really want to remedy this as soon as possible as I use my iPod everyday and I can't imagine life without it and this has reduced me to tears trying to fix it.

    I've already tried those solutions but (knock on wood) I've installed an older version of iTunes, updated that to the latest and that has seem to still recgonise my iPod and allowed it to sync and restore from my backup and now it seems to be working fine for now any problems I shall let you know.

  • How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

    How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Itunes keeps crashing after i updated to 6.0.4

    hi,
    i have been having trouble in my imac g5 1.8 ghz.
    my itunes keeps crashing and i cant close it, i cant even "force quit" on it.
    its really hard to eject my ipod, and sometimes the music plays, but there is no sound.
    is there any known fix?
    thanx

    Hi,
    I'm having the exact same problem. What's the deal
    here. How about a patch or something from apple.
    The whole reason I use a mac is it never crashes on
    me. If it's going to crash I might as well go back
    to a pc (Ok sorry, nothing can make me go back to a
    pc
    Whew! Thank you for that last thought....
    Anyway, what I ended up doing was trashing everything iTunes including the iTunes X package & prefs (I used Spotlight to find everything), and then reinstalling a new copy of iTunes. First I backed up my iTunes music folder containing the music and data base (your file>Music>iTunes). Then I put my iTunes music folder back where it was and I didn't lose a thing.
    However, don't trash everything that shows up in a Spotlight search of iTunes--only the package and all prefs associated with iTunes and, of course, back up your music folder first or you will lose all your iTunes music, books, videos, etc.
    Since no one seems to be able to figure out why only a few of us are having this crashing problem with iTunes, it's just not being addressed. They tell us to "post" our crash logs, but not how. You can't upload files to this forum, and the crash log is too voluminous to cut and paste here.
    My idea worked for me, but it's dangerous. If you're not sure what to trash, email me for a list. Spotlight will show you where each item is when you click on the little "i" in the circle when you tell Spotlight to "Show All."
    Oh, and Apple does not do patches.

  • Itunes keeps crashing, help please!!

    so today I updated my software (included quicktime, itunes, and a security update) and even downloaded the safari 3 beta. so after I installed the safari 3 beta, everything with safari worked fine. after installing itunes 7.2, it would keep crashing. so I figured the problem was with 7.2, so uninstalled it and reinstalled 7.1, kept crashing. so then I uninstalled and reinstalled safari 2, thinking that would fix everything. nope, itunes keeps crashing. any ideas, please help, thanks

    I actually figured it out. I reinstalled my itunes to 7.1 and then installed 7.2 for the heck of it. and then I realized (after reading how some plug-ins have been screwing it up) that I had installed a plug-in a long time ago and had forgotten about it, so I simply deleted that and everything is fine. So, to the guy that's having the same problem, make sure you don't have any plug-ins installed and if so just delete them.

    as per your profile, you're on 10.4.6.
    i recommend you do the following:
    1) run +verify disk+ and +repair permission+ sessions using *disk utility*
    2) download and run the _*Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC)*_
    3) upon reboot, repair permissions again.
    4) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates that are offered
    5) reboot
    6) fire up iTunes
    any improvement ?

  • My itunes keeps crashing after installing the lastest update

    I have just installed the latest itunes update 10.6 and now my itunes keeps crashing. It opens and then when I try to scroll down or access my pod-casts it crashes and quits. I have tried restarting the machine and that has not helped. Really bad show to Apple for this. Any ideas.

    You may want to try deleting the iTunes preference file (/Users/your home folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist). I was having a similar problem, everytime I tried to veiw TV Shows iTunes would crash, and doing this appears to have fixed my problem.
