ITtrouble shooting itunes software in windows xp

every time i try to run the itunes program the computer sed this message:
THIS APPLICATION HAS REQUESTED THE RUNTIME TO TERMINATE IT IN AN UNUSUAL WAY. "RUNTIME ERROR"
"UNKNOWN SOFTWARE EXCEPTION (0X40000015)DIRECTION 0X09f18a0a.
Please need help!

I am having the exact same problem as Ravi. I recently upgraded to iTunes version 5.0 and now the program will not even open. It hangs for about a minute and then the error box pops up with:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
I have checked on the location of iTunes. It is in the right location but what is wierd is that when I click on the "My Music folder in the Explorer Window, my machine hangs for about 30 seconds before showing the contents. Then when I click on "iTunes" folder, the machine hangs indefinitely. It simply will not show me the contents of the folder. Eventually it gives me an error:
"Request cannot be performed because of an I/O device error."
I just reinstalled the iTunes 2 days ago hoping it would fix the problem, but no luck...I also tried the Tweak UI program, but to no avail...my machine hangs when I try to pick the "My Music" folder in the final step of the process.
Has anyone else had this problem?

    enter your registry by >> Start > Run > "type" regedit (without the word type) expand the following:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, (on the right pane) you will see AppData, double click AppData and change the value to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

  • ITunes software for Windows 7 OS

    Hi,
    Can someone let me know whether iTune software is available for Windows 7 OS. If yes could you please share the link to download the software. If the software is not already available then let me know when it will available for use.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth Kakkunuri

    Please note that while for many people iTunes runs without problems on Windows 7, iTunes is not supported on Windows 7 (which hasn't even been released yet) so there may be errors and areas where iTunes does not function correctly. If there are, Apple will not at this time help with them.
    Regards.

    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.

  • What's with the itunes software and Windows? I get the quicklinks box on the side but not the store stuff. that's blank white.\

    What's with the Itunes showing quicklinks box on the WIndows operating systems and all ? What's with the store not working on windows?

    Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

  • Not a question but a complaint.  The new ITunes software doesn't support the IPhone.  It is extremely difficult to find your IPhone, what applications are on the phone and to re-sync new and updated applications.  It is focused on selling and not support.

    The new ITunes software for Windows, ITunes vers. 11.0.1.12, is extemely clumsy for managing my IPhone 4.  The help material is designed for the older version so is of no use.  The interface is extremely difficult to use except for buying music or video.  I'm trying to managing updating applications and syncing with my IPhone but there I can't find a drop-down menu or anything on help that tells me how to get to the IPhone window so I can initiate a re-sync on my IPhone.  This is very frustrating because Apple is supposed to make things "intuitive" and have "good" help.  Well, it's NOT intuitive and there is NO HELP.  You need to fix this.  I mean a terrible map application and now this terrible interface.  Nothing but downhill since Jobs left us.  Just remember, we all bolted from Microsoft because of this sort of crap and we can all bolt to Android if you keep up this trend.

    Ctrl + B to show the Top Menu
    View > Show Sidebar
    View > Show Staus Bar
    Deactivate Search Entire Library to speed things up.
    This should make managing your iPhone the same as it was before.

  • I have downloaded the newest iTunes software on my Windows 64 bit computer so I can update my iPhone 4 to OS5. When I open iTunes it opens and then crashes. I have completely uninstalled iTunes twice and reloaded it twice and still doesn't work.

    I down loaded the newest iTunes software to update my iPhone 4 and when I open it, it crashes. I have completely uninstalled it twice and reinstalled it again and still it doesn't work. Please help.

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:

  • When i try to open the itunes store in itunes,windows closes it after not finding a solution for the problem.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes software. I am running Win 7-with IE10-any help?

    When I selected the Itunes store on my win PC today-the program was closed by windows with windows saying there was a problem. I tried a couple of times and then uninstalled the itunes software and reinstalled it with the same results. The program has always worked before but I have not used it recently since the Ipad now receives it's software updates right off the router. I am running Win 7 with IE10. Anyone with the same problem?

    My post has been viewed 24 times, and yet have had no answers. I have always like adobe products, however if this is the type of support they offer, I will never purchase another product of theirs. The issue I am having is the same issue many others have had, and yet no answer. Poor customer service!

  • I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

    Hi there,
    I'd like to ask you something:
    I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
    Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
    I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
    What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
    How do I have to proceed in detail?
    What would it cost?
    I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
    Anyways - can you help me please?
    If you can't help me, who can do so?
    It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
    Thank you guys
    Prying Pedro

    Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
    Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Due to virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if do the same then the data on my ipod touch will be erased....how should i protect my ipod touch data?

    due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?

    With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • My computer running Windows 8.1 no longer recognizes my 7th Generation Ipod Nano.  I have removed and reinstalled the latest ITunes software and it still doesn't recognize my Ipod.

    I previously installed my Ipod Nano 7th generation in Itunes, Windows 8.1.  When I have recently connected, Itunes does not recognize it.  I removed and reinstalled the latest Itunes software, but no success.  Message says that Itunes sees an Ipod is connected, but does not recognize it.  The USB connection is working fine, as I recharged the Ipod without problem.

    Hello Lynn,
    The article linked below details a number of troubleshooting steps that can help get iTunes to properly recognize your iPhone.
