Itunes 10.6 crashes Windows XP SP2

I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling via instructions from this forum. It still crashes my entire system, requiring a restart. I have no plugins or security software installed. In desperation I installed Spotify. It plays my music fine, but in general I do not care for the interface. I want my iTunes back. Does anybody have any other ideas as to what is going on? Thank you.

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Itunes 8.2 crashing Windows XP as with so many others, no solution given

If you google this problem, there are so many people with Windows crashing when using Itunes but no real solution offered, Why ??? I have gone from Itunes 7 to 8 to 8.2, still the same. Removed all but essential other programmes, done virus checks, done registry repairs, removed itunes, cleaned the registry then a clean re-install, upgraded all drivers, it even goes down in safemode.
Still Windows XP will crash only when itunes is open, even if it is sitting unused. The Event Viewer log identifies Itunes every time e.g. "faulting modules itunes.exe" and others that refer to itunes. With itunes closed down, I have no crashes
What is wrong with itunes, why can't Apple provide a proper reply to resolve this - or if they havem then one that is easy to find.
Please can someone help

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Itunes 10.5 crashes with no error when trying to play any music, video, or import/scan from the library folder on the compter with Windows 7 Pro.

Fresh install with all older itunes un-installed as well as other Apple software.
Now cannot get any songs, videos, or even scan library folder for songs to work on the computer.
itunes just simply crashes with no error comments.
This is itunes 10.5 on a Windows 7 Pro system.

Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
Is there no one to call about this??

ITunes will not start up in Windows XP SP2 and maxes out CPU

Hello all,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, or if this is a similar problem faced by others.
I have browsed the forums for hours trying to find a similar issue to my own, and have tried several solutions but none have worked. I have lost track of the amount of times I have re-installed iTunes.
Having recently aquired an 80Gb iPod Video, I set about re-loading all of my music as 192Kb AAC in iTunes. I have always used iTunes to download music, but this is the first time I have used it so much, having previously used WMP to listen to my music collection.
At some stage last week it stopped functioning, freezing everytime I started it up, and subsequently forcing me to use Task Manager to quit.
Sometimes it would just freeze as soon as I clicked in the window, other times it would let me input my sign-in details before freezing whilst 'Accessing iTunes Store'.
I did recently upgrade to iTunes 7.2, and decided to upgrade some of my files to non-DRM, and it had been working fine up until some point last week.
Which is what I really can't understand. I had downloaded 7.2 a week or so before this happened, so could it really be an issue with the non-DRM tracks? I noticed in a previous post this being an issue, and not to upgrade, and so I attempted to install an earlier version 7.1, but still had the same issue with it freezing.
Something I noticed today was that the Apple web page would not load, as the Quicktime plugin would not initiate. Could it be a Quicktime issue?
Someone suggested to me it could be a issue with Norton?
Another suggested it could be down to Automatic Updates.
Having checked both of these avenues, there don't appear to be any programs downloaded onto my computer that would affect iTunes.
All of my music is stored on an external USB 2.0 HDD. I can't imagine it being an issue with that, as I can access all of my files on that fine through My Computer.
Apologies for the long an convoluted issue. Any help will be much appreciated. If I have missed anything I shall post again.

Matthew Wittrick.

You can try a couple things. You may wish to try and rebuild your iTunes Library. At times if this gets corrupted it could cause possible freezing when launching itunes or using iTunes.
Posted below is the article for that.

You will also want to try a basic Uninstall and Install of the iTunes Software. Also ensure you have the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime. If you get the iTunes bundle it will include the update for both.
You may also wish to create a new user and see what kind of results you get. If the issue is still the same. You may want to follow the article below. It speaks about cleaning out Apple Software and hidden files and folders. Since all your music is on a backup HD you do not have to worry about deleting any of it as it is already backed up.

Installed Itunes 11.0 on Windows 7 64-bit / Itunes store crashes app completely

Hello
I Installed Itunes 11.0 on Windows 7 64-bit and I can download podcasts and it will sync,
but after downloading app updates and clicking done,
Itunes crashes immediately when it tries to access the itunes store.
If I try to access the Itunes store though Itunes at any time it crashes. CrashTunes?
Ninetynine percent of the time I don't want to go to the Itunes store ...
I want to sync my updated pocasts and updated apps to the phone and leave.
not half-sync my phone, crash and repeat until I get the timing right,
then have to break more traffic laws that usual to get to work on time.
Sorry for the vent,
Thanks for your time to any of those who help,
Bobby

After numerous calls with Apple support, I finally got it working
For me, the problem was the following:
1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is your standard browser for windows (if not...make it)!
2. In Internet Explorer go to "Internet Options" then "Advanced"
3. In the list scroll down to "Security" and UNCHECK "Check for server certificate revocation"
4. Make sure that (a bit further down) "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0" are CHECKED.
5. Delete the "SC Info" folder once again...
6. Run iTunes in Admin-Mode
After that, I was able to activate my computer and I changed my browser back to Firefox afterwards...
Hope that will help you too !!
Cheers

Windows XP SP2 Crash at end of CD Burn

I have a home built PC running Windows XP SP2 with the following components:
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard (latest bios)
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz Processor
2 gig of DDR ram
Two Raid 0 arrays (1 for operating system, 1 for my files)
Plextor PX-716-A CD/DVD drive
My problem occurs after downloading an album and burning it to CD. At the very end of the completion of the burn my PC just shuts off and reboots as if someone had pressed the "reset" button. No other programs cause this. The CD drive has the latest firmware. If I run itunes "run CD diagnostics" the same thing happens. I am using itunes 6.0.1. The send error report in windows takes me to a site that says either a program or a driver caused the problem but it does not know which one. I have run out of options to try. This seems to me to be an itunes software issue. At the very least it is certainly putting a damper on my wishes to use itunes to get my music. Anyone with real info input on this would be appreciated.

Thanks for help and suggestions. I simply wiped the slate clean so to speak and reloaded iTunes and QuickTime. Changed a few default settings and reloaded all the music back into iTunes. Had to reaffirm my id and password for the music I bought through iTunes music store but everything appears to be working properly. I am now able to burn CDs without the system rebooting. My system was already set for mini-dump so if the Apple engineers would like those files I can upload them for you.
However I'm still having a problem that I've had from day one. When I import a CD to iTunes the first song on each CD has a 2 second or so blank sound gap in it. All the songs after that are okay though, no blank sound gap. I import everything from my internal drives not my external burner.
Once again appreciate the suggestions.

Itunes continues to crash and I get the Data Execution Prevention error from Windows and it shuts down. How do I fix my Itunes?? This startes happening after the Itunes update

Itunes continues to crash and I get a Data Execution Prevention error.

Vista 64 bit
Many thanks. If you're still not launching after your complete uninstall/reinstall, we'll go searching for old QuickTime componentry stashed in non-standard locations on the PC.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I have updated to Itunes 10.5 on Windows and everytime i start it now, it says "updating Itunes library" and crashes at around 75%. i have uninstalled and re-installed it. No joy! Someone help! Thanks Umar.

Lets see whether this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?

ITunes update crashed windows, no bootable hard drive

When I went to shut down my computer last night, there was an iTunes update. I clicked ok, then put the computer on the table. Next thing I know, I get the dreaded blue screen with a bunch of characters, saying, I think, Windows has encountered an error. It tried to re-boot, but said that there was no bootable drive. Naturally, I panicked. Ran the entire Pre-boot check, everything passed. Tried to re-boot, same thing happened. Frustrated, I turned my machine off, then back on and everything appears to be ok. However, I'm afraid to try the update again. Any suggestions?

I believe you boot your windows and update immediately will help. Sometimes when windows run for a period of time, the system is unstable. Then when you install something, it may crash windows. So anytime install a software, reboot windows first to ensure system clean.

Games keep crashing under Windows XP SP2 32Gig FAT32 partition

Hi All!
Hopefully somone can help me. We just purchased an iMac Core 2 Duo 20" from Best Buy. I was able to install BootCamp and install Windows XP Pro SP2 on a 32Gig FAT32 partition. I installed all the updates for WinXP. When we play games like Black & White 2 or Zoo Tycoon 2, the games seem to run fine until they crash, which seem to happen at random interval (several minutes into the games i.e. 20-30 minutes). I've tried updating the games, but no go.
Running under Mac OS X (10.4.9), the machine has never crashed...it is rock solid. Not so when running Windows XP SP2. I've tried wipping the XP partition (using the BootCamp application) and starting over from scratch, only to get the same results. Has anyone experienced something similar? Most importantly, has anyone gotten around this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Imac Core 2 Duo, 20" (Late 2006), 2.16Ghz, 250Gig HD, 1Gig RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9) Also have WinXP SP2 32Gig FAT32 partition

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.
