    Well I was able to successfully revert back to iTunes8. Here's my steps:
    1. In Add/Remove Programs I deleted all Apple products (iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour, etc.)
    2. I then check C:\Program Files\ and made sure all folders were deleted (QuickTime, etc.)
    3. I then ran a Registry Cleaner program to make sure all entries from Apple products were removed.
    4. I then rebooted my PC
    5. I then downloaded iTunes8.0.2 from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    6. After it installed it said it could use my iTunes library file because it was created with a newer version. So I re-created my library by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    It took some time but iTunes is now back up and running. And I have all my playlists, etc. I haven't tried to sync anything yet. I'm just thrilled to have my iTunes back!

  • 8.0.2.20 won't load.."iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    I finally gave in to the annoying pop-up and upgraded to 8.0.2.20 from 7.6. Initial load worked fine, connected to ipod and updated it without a problem.
    Shutdown computer and tried to load this morning. Now get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried to uninstall itunes 8 and revert back to 7.6 but my library was updated by itunes 8 and prevents this reversion.

    If you want to use iTunes 7, you need to rebuild your library like this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    If you wan to troubleshoot iTunes 8, first check to see if Quicktime works. If it works normally then use this trouble shooting method for iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    If QUicktime doesn't work describe what happens with any error message.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
    Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):

    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Right after upgrade: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    We just allowed the iTunes update, then when we went to start iTunes we keep getting this message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I've tried to follow some of the help documents (deleted SCinfo.sidb from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776), deleted a local docuemnts temp directory, made sure QuickTime does work on it's own.
    My setup had iTunes on the C drive originally but over a year or two ago now I moved that to an external drive, that is still attached. I'm leary to uninstall and reinstall as I don't know if I'll loose any movies/music/audiobooks/podcasts/apps I have in there (my new iTunes folder was named F:/New-iTunes and has worked without issue since day 1 until this update this week.)
    I need to get our iPod(s) up to date with media before we go out of town later this weekend. Help please.

    In order to see the error repeated, I had to reenable Bonjour. First I just manually started the service, then iTunes and no issue. iTunes worked. Then I set the service to manually start, rebooted, started Bonjour then iTunes. iTunes worked again. Finally, set Bonjour to Automatic, rebooted then tried to start iTunes and ERROR.
    iTunes won't start if Bonjour set to Automatic.
    The error listed in the message box is:
    Error Signature:

  • Itunes will not open it says itunes has encountered a problem and needs to

    Please someone help!!!! I have removed itunes and re downloaded it also have done same procedure with quicktime and it still comes up with the message :itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.the error message is C:\DOCUME~1\Anthony\LOCALS~1\Temp\4b2e_appcompat.txt
    what does this mean? I am totally confused.

    First check to see if QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it.
    If Quicktime doesn't work describe what happens with any error messages in full.
    Also head for your control panel and try to run quicktime preferences - give any error message in full.
    If Quicktime is OK then work through this Apple article:

  • Windows Home XP - "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    Hello :
    I just updated to iTunes 7.7.0.43 for Windows Home XP. The earlier version was working just fine. But last week I downloaded the update and although the program works fine, every time that I exit from this application I get an error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I went to the support site and did several things including creating a new ueer account to test whether user or system-specific (I cannot tell); re-installing the application; re-creating my library and play-lists; etc. But I still get the same error message. Otherwise the application works fine, plays music, imports music OK, etc. This condition only occurs a few seconds after I exit from the application. Can anybody out there help me ? I am at my wit's end with this annoyance ! Thanks.

    Whether or not this will be fixed by a software update depends on what the root cause of the issue is. I would recommend trying MSCONFIG, although I can understand your reluctance to do so. Is your computer currently in Normal startup mode? If so, and if Apple's MSCONFIG steps do not resolve your issue, you can easily revert to Normal startup using the utility. If your computer is currently in Selective startup mode, just make note of the changes you make so you can change them back after you determine whether MSCONFIG resolved the issue. If it does, I'd suggest using the utility to disable a few items at a time until you narrow down which is the cause of the issue. Then you can determine whether this is a startup item or service that you need to have running on your PC.
    MSCONFIG for XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
    MSCONFIG for Vista: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305415
    You may also want to check and see if iTunes and/or QuickTime are running in compatibility mode. If the are, turn this option off and retry iTunes.
    -Go to C:\Program Files\iTunes\
    Right-click on iTunes.exe and click Properties
    Click the Compatibility tab
    Uncheck the option to run in compatibility mode
    Click Ok
    -Go to C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
    Right-cick on QuickTime.exe and click Properties
    Click the Compatibility tab
    Uncheck the option to run in compatibility mode
    Click Ok
    Test iTunes again.

  • "iTunes has encountered a problem" after updating Podcasts

    I've been running iTunes happily since December 2009 on my Windows XP machine. I've allowed each update to be applied and have never had a problem with it.
    Suddenly today, I started getting an "iTunes has encountered a problem an needs to close" error about 30 seconds or so after iTunes loads. This happened repeatedly.
    One of the suggestions on forums was to re-install QuickTime - I did this and it made no difference. I then fought with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all other Apple apps for several hours. I worked through the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" problem, I managed to locate and use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (even though Microsoft have removed it), I re-installed the software and even managed to fix the "Apple Application Support Was Not Found" problem once iTunes was installed.
    I finally managed to get iTunes up and running again and to my amazement it even recognised by iTunes library...and then got the "iTunes has encountered a problem" error that I started with ?
    I've now watched iTunes more carefully to see exactly what's happening. What I can see is that it is trying to update my podcasts. It is simulatenously downloading three as usual and all goes fine until it's downloaded and processed one. After it's finishing processing the first one, the downloads stop and the original error is given. If I re-start it, the same thing happens (albeit with a different podcast).
    I'm completely stuck now. Where do I go from here to sort this one out ? All help very gratefully received.

    Apple Application Support program file ... unlikely to be damaged, because after the uninstall/reinstall torment you went through, that's a brand new copy of the file you've got in there.
    Can you check something further for me please? (This isn't going to be a cure in itself, but fingers crossed it'll rule out some possibilities and narrow in on some other possible causes.)
    Create a new Windows user account on the PC with full administrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new one. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Open iTunes in the new account. The setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted, just let it eventually open to an empty library.
    Now try downloading one of the podcasts that caused the crash into the new account's library. Do we get another "iTunes has encountered a problem" in there too? Or does it download without issue in there?

  • Itunes has encountered a problem and has to close.

    When I opened iTunes the first time today, I had no problem, but then I went to the store, then my computer froze, so I closed it.. And now I downloaded the update and whenever I try to open it a box pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and must close.. " Or at least something like that.
    You also might find this information helpful:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.1.0.79 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000000dd
    and yes, my quicktime works fine..

    Yup, I've got the same problem although it's installed but now it just won't open and says it has a problem and has to close instantly the second you click a shortcut.
    hi Frenchy!
    you don't say explicitly so i'll ask you too. have you tried this procedure yet?
    b noir, "itunes has encountered a problem. help please?" #8, 04:10pm Sep 18, 2005 CDT
    make sure you follow the instructions precisely. if for any reason you can't complete the cleanup instructions, post back to describe the problem.
    if your itunes still isn't launching after you try that, we'd better check to see if you've got a rare registry problem that can also produce the same error message.
    we diagnose that by creating a new user account (with full administrative privileges). you can do that in your "user accounts" control panel. there's help documentation on it to the left of the screen. while you're in there, also switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
    now log on to the new user account. can you successfully launch itunes from inside there?
    keep us posted on your progress.
    love, b

  • ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

    I bought the Apple airport router I installed it with the provided disc and that same day my iTunes would not come up. For window users I get the box that reads iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience with a box that you click to Send Error Report. Here is the error……… AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.6.2.9 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000a019a
    I figured that my music files somehow were corrupt and that shi_ happens. Well a week later I was having troubles with the Apple router so I returned it and uninstalled it from my program files C drive. Then I gave iTunes another shot and it opened. Weird, I know. Well my next router was a Net gear it worked fine but it lagged on COD4 while online with my PC, so I returned it. Then I bought a Belkin - N1 Vision Wireless-N Wireless Router and it did not come with an install disc just plug and play. That very same day my iTunes gave me that **** error again. This time I can’t try to uninstall it from my program files because it was plug and play. I already tried to do a system restore and I shut down my PC and start it back up without the router plugged in and still no luck. I also tried to repair iTunes and that didn’t work. I went to the Geek Squad and they tell me the two issues can’t be related (a router not allowing my iTunes to run). My computer is running on Windows XP Pro. I’m now playing my music through Windows Media Player. I’m in ****!!!! Can someone please help me!!!!! I also tried a few things on iTunes support and they didn’t work. I will be more than happy finically facilitate someone for helping me get my iTunes up and running like usual. Dallas @ [email protected] I’ll be checking this thread every day. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ,......"The enstaller encountered errors before the requested operations for Quicktime could not be completed. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
    Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors and install/uninstall errors now.
    Have you at any stage installed an ACE or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
    (I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running/installing of a higher version of QuickTime.)
