HT1527 Can't open iTunes...windows connectivity test says that iTunes has stopped working -  Date execution prevention has closed iTunes.   What do I do now?

I can't open iTunes...Windows connectivity test says that iTunes has stopped working....Date execution prevention has closed iTunes.  

If you update your QuickTime Player to the latest version, does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • Why Might Data Execution Prevention Be Closing iTunes 11.2.0.115?

    I don’t own any Apple hardware and only use iTunes to listen to songs I purchased in the iTunes store that only work in iTunes. I started noticing problems when I updated to version 11.2.0.115 today. The “iTunes.exe” process remains in the “Processes” list of my Windows Task Manager for about 30 seconds after I exit the program. A balloon then appears in my taskbar saying Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes. Windows Help and Support suggests seeing if a DEP-compatible version is available before turning DEP off for the program. I’m using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit. What, if anything, can I do?

    I fixed it on my computer.  Not sure which of the steps I did fixed it so I will list all of them.
    I wasn't getting the error until I did the following (to prevent it from just crashing on logging into the iTunes Store)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23987910#23987910
    I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support; to the system variables PATH (depending on your operating system, your file path will be different).  How to do that has been outlined in the above linked article.
    This now caused DEP to freak out whenever I logged into the store and close iTunes.  Adding iTunes to the DEP filter didn't solve the problem.  So I removed all the saved system settings for iTunes and ran Apple Software Update.  I also went to the DEP and added every .exe I could find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple to the exceptions list (again, depending on your OS the file path may be different.)
    To remove the saved system settings for iTunes you can find those in C:\Documents and Settings (for Win XP) or C:\Users (for Win 8).  Find a folder named AppData or Application data under various user names and remove any Apple related files you can.  I had one .log file that couldn't be deleted, but that shouldn't be a problem.

  • Data Execution Prevention makes my iTunes shut down. SOS!

    For no apparent reason, iTunes shuts down after about 1 minute with the message "data execution prevention has closed iTunes". I've looked online and tried everything. 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 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 something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and 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 that iTunes opens normally now.

  • HT2292 Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12 start itunes and it is closed, message reads I tunes closed to help protect computer, data execution prevention has closed itunes. windows Vista 32bit

    Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12. Start itunes and it is closed with the message itunes closed to help protect computer data execution prevention has closed itunes. operating system is ms vista 32 bit. I have followed the procedures that I can find on the itune support site.

    You're welcome. Glad you got things sorted out.
    (No problem about not spotting the solutions ... the most common causes of this sort of message changes over time, so it's not straightforward to be able to tell when a given piece of advice still applies to the symptoms. Definitely worth posting to try to get a current heads-up on the likely contemporary causes of a particular error message.)

    After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014.  It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working.  A problem has caused it to stop working.  Windows will close the program and notify you of a solution."  When I used the trial I never received this message.  Now after purchasing it I receive this error each time I open PP and am unable to use. it.  Any ideas or support to fix this issue?

    What does the detailed crash report say?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes?  How can i fix this?

    After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button.  Simply closing the error message closes the program as well.  I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me).  It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update?  It just can't seem to get past that point.  I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.

    Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it.    Found this in another post and it worked great.
    Solution:
    Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

  • Itunes will not open on computer says it has stopped working and it must be closed. My computer tells me its an incompatible app. Is there a problem with the new itunes or is it my computer?

    I have recently downloaded the new itunes. My computer will open itunes but then a screen pops up that says Itunes has stopped working and must close. This happens every time and i can not by pass it. I am afraid all my music is gone as well. I found on my computer that its an incompatible app. What does that mean exactly? Was itunes installed incorrectly? I have had itunes on my computer before and worked just fine and had no problems. Is it possibly a computer issue or Itunes? Need help thanks

    Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
    > Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    > How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

  • HT201412 Restore did not work.The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes.When connected, it says that it is locked! After Recovery/Restore completed, device still malfunctions. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen.Device types on its

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.
