ITunes 6.0.1.3 Crashesunder Windows XP SP2

I installed iTunes as a download from apple.com because I have a new iPod 60GB on the way. I want to rip my CD collection before it arrives. But this is way too painful.
Dell 650 Dual Xeon 3.06 GHz HT with NEC NR-1100A and SONY CRX-160E. Running XP SP2 with latest patches.
Attempted HT on, HT off, CDROM drivers with IMAPI and without. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried 4.7 but couldn't see the library I created with 6. Tried to remove Gear, reinstall Gear and upgrade Gear. VBR on off and default. Error correction and no. Color screen, monochrome or greyscale (kidding here).
I think Apple should try to help, but they seem to be silent on the topic in spite of the numerous posts.
Any ideas? I've tried all I know, except searching for software alternatives to iTunes for the iPod. I'm considering returning the units when they arrive.

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,
Marco

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.
Regards,
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.

Error -42404 - Using Itunes 10.6.1.7 and Windows Vista SP2 - What do I need to do ?

(-42404) Error when starting up Itunes - Version 10.6.1.7
I have already un-installed and re-installed to software
What do I need to do to fix this error ?

Not sure if this would work, as I'm in the middle of trying this myself but perhaps you should try installing an older version of iTunes.

I cannot install iTunes 10.2 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium

I'm able to download the iTunes 10.2 64 bit program without any issue. However, when I try to intall the program Windows installer issues error message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package”.
I have tried to open 'itunes64bit.exe' as the Administrator but this still doesn't work!
I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7.
One member had a solution whereby they downloaded a program from Orca to increase Windows Installer’s capability and another to help install iTunes.
The problem is that Windows Installer will not install these downloaded programs either!
I’ve followed tech advice to change the Windows Installer setting from ‘Service Status’ stopped to ‘Service Status’ started and applied/ok’d changes. However, as soon as I try to install a non-windows program it automatically defaults to the ‘stopped’ setting and issues the error message about not being able to verify the package being installed.
I followed the steps to unregister and reregister Windows Installer too, also to no avail.
You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator.

Hi Lee,
"You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
You are correct but to a point. I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself.
I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds. Nope. Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3. It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally. It worked for me.
This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL). I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7. The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.
" I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
I was opposite on this one. What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave. The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it. When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes. I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me
I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha). If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should. Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
Hope this helps you.

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Issues with setting "Album Artist" in iTunes 9.2.5.1 on Windows 7

I googled this for a while but haven't been able to find this issues mentioned anywhere else yet. Here's what's happening: I am importing CDs to iTunes 9.2.1.5 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit) using MP3 Encoder > Higher Quality. All is well except for a few CDs where I'd like to set an overall Album Artist. Example: Tony Bennett's Duets: An American Classic. When importing the CD it shows up under "Various Artists" since "Artist" is always Tony Bennett plus whoever he sings with. To make sure the album shows up under Tony Bennett in the library I click on the album and set "Album Artist" to Tony Bennett. That, however results in changing the "Artist" field as well now so all fields say Tony Bennett, which shouldn't happen, "artists" should stay unchanged. I tried this with several albums and the behavior is always the same.
I also tried the back door by going into the actual folder of the album in Windows then change the MP3 details and populate "Album Artist" there for all tracks within the album. Once I re=open iTunes it registers the change only for the first track but not the rest. So I re-import the folder into iTunes and then it does take "Album Artist" and also leaves "Artist" unchanged but for some reason has now lots of numbers under "Comments". There seems to be a mismatch of the field attributes between iTunes and Windows for MP3 files (possibly other formats as well). Wondering if anyone else has observed this or if I am just missing some setting.

FYI iTunes handling of ID3v2.4 tags seems to have some issues as well... Translating genres into their numeric codes for one thing. I'd recommend sticking with v2.3.
I'm not exactly sure from your posts what you were seeing. Was the artist being changed in Get Info. after you'd set Album Artist, or was it changing elsewhere on screeen? iTunes 9(.1 I think) added an option *View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists*. Unfortunately this doesn't change the heading of the column so that you "see" it is now only listing album artists but that's what it does.
There is also an occasional issue with the current build in that sometimes changes to Album Artist or Sort Album Artist fail to be reflected properly in the column browser until iTunes is closed and reopened.

I am also up for a new upgrade on my second phone line and was going to get a 4s but now I am thinking it may be the wrong choice I am very unhappy with Apple right now...

ITunes x64 does not install in Windows 7. Shows that there is problem with windows installer package

These images below show the error message I retrieve. I downloaded iTunes 10.5 x64 Edition for windows from Apple Official Website. When I try to install, it shows me these errors. I even tried removing the old version iTunes, and installing this version. But still the same error occurs. Even used windows cleanup utility to remove all itunes and quicktime related files. Still the same problem occurs. I also noticed a difference in this installation compared to the previous ones. In the previous version installation a segment of Apple Terms & Conditions Agreement will appear. But in this installer package, as you can see in the images provided it does not appear. How to solve this? I've been trying to install this for nearly a month.

Nowadays people don't back up to CD/DVD. They get an *external hard drive* and copy over their entire iTunes folder, and whatever else they are backing up.
The advantages are (1) this method does not depend on iTunes's horribly unreliable burning capability (2) you can look at the external and see that the stuff you backed up is really there. (If you want to see an unhappy person, it is when they try to restore from CD/DVD and discover that it did not burn correctly in the first place.) (3) it lets you back up your other valuable files besides your music.

Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
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.

Problems reinstalling Itunes 10.4. Error 7 (Windows Error 14001).

I cannot reinstall itunes after uninstalling. Error 7 (windows error 14001). How do I fix this?

Thanks for posting this, zrakks, because I was going crazy with this one. I'm having the same exact issue with the same version, Win7x64, with my taskbar on the left side too. Didn't know THAT was the reason (taskbar on the left). Hopefully they fix this in the next version--this is a pain in the a**!

Hi toosar1,
If you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to make sure you are completely removing all of the iTunes components before you reinstall. You may find the following articles helpful:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
