ITunes blinking + popping to foreground in Windows 7

So I'm sure this has come up before, but it is absolutely infuriating. iTunes keeps blinking in the task bar once I open it. Incessantly and nonstop. And then, when typing in another program, it will randomly pop to the foreground, usually several times in quick succession. I've reinstalled, which hasn't helped. What the EFF is going on?

I had it solved! Problem was caused by all-in-one-memory card reader (internal bay 3.5"). I disabled all the memory card reader entries in Device Manager (4 in all: SD, MS, CF and SM in "Disk drives"). After that: BOOM! iTunes works like a charm; no popping, no blinking and syncing speed is much faster.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

HT1535 Does iTunes have to also be installed on my Windows PC in order to Sync? Since iTunes never pops up when I attach my iPad to my PC, I'm wondering if that's the problem

I cannot sync and in fact, any time I attach my iPad to my PC it says not charging - and iTunes never pops up. Is it possible that I have to install iTunes on m PC to make this work?

Please read Chapter 2.

ITunes Not popping up

I just downloaded iTunes from the website, and I even have a friend that has the update saoftware. I tried both, but my iTunes wont open, even with an error message. It's beginning to bug me, since I wish to change many of the songs on my iPod, but I cannot. If anyone else is having this problem, please reply, I want to make sure it's not my computer.
Windows XP

Im having pretty much the same problem. I tried re-installing iTunes but that didn't work. Whenever I try to open iTunes it pops up with a message saying that it has encountered a problem and needs to close... so annoying as my iPod was a Christmas present and I have yet to put music on.

Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system. I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system" I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either. They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again. It downloads, it just won't install afterwards. When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing. Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading. I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue. I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE. Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue. As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system. That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries. It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it. HELP!!!

Cached exchange mode was already marked so that was not the issue.
I have done all the usual of creating a new profile, reinstalling Outlook etc but nothing seemed to work. I also tried going back to Outlook 2007 and reinstalling Windows but same problem.
However, I am not sure if it is connected but I was useing the option in MS Live Sync to synchronise Office settings which I turned off recently and now no longer have the issue. Unfortunately I cannot remember when in the process I did this so cannot be
sure it was responsible - anyone else found this?

Itunes store has stopped working On windows 8

with the most recent update of iTunes (2015, 12.1.1.4- or even later) The iTunes store has stopped working. Every time I open it a window pops up saying "ITunes has stopped working" and then I am forced to close the program and can't get back on it. I own a PC with windows 8. Previously I've never had this issue before. Even when I open ITunes in SAFE MODE the same window still pops up with "ITunes has stopped working'. What is happening and how can I fix this issue?

Greetings Willyme,
As someone who uses iTunes just about every day, I know I would be unhappy with things if I could not get it to launch. Let's see if we can get you back up and running. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Hello CHENSLER68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

Had iTunes successfully installed on my computer (Windows XP). I can't access it now.

Had iTunes successfully installed on my computer (Windows XP) for some time. I can't access it now.
I keep getting the message -
C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\CommonFiles\Apple\AppleApplicationSupport\icudt46.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error.
..& then,
Error 7 (Windows error 193)
I have uninstalled & re-installed the program several times with Mozilla, tried with Internet Explorer but it freezes, turned off the pop-up blocker & tried to re-install again. The window at the end of the installation process tells me that it was successful!
HELP!

C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\CommonFiles\Apple\AppleApplicationSupport\icudt46.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

My itunes keeps shutting down with an windows error

My itunes keeps shutting down with a windows error everytime i try to convert someting to AAC.

Im having the same issue. It starts up shutsdown and pops up an error has occured message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and even downloaded the Quicktime and ITunes seperately. But the same message appears everytime. I did discover that it was the Quick time messing up though... so uh this might not help but maybe someone else know something about the Quicktime problem.

"Accessing iTunes store" pop up

When I try to type anything into the search bar for artists or songs the "accessing iTunes store" pop up continually opens. It opens after typing each letter and will not allow another letter entry untill the window closes. Just started happening.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this works.
I use iTunes Store very rarely, just for checking some new release or maybe some podcast.
I never authorized this mac, and I don't want to enter my credit card number if I don't want to buy music from there. I just want to be able to browse it, with no commitment, as I've always done.
The annoying window "accessing iTunes store..." keeps popping up at every launch.
I disabled iTunes Store from preferences, and it keeps coming. I tried the deauthorize-authorize trick, but the Store says I've never been registered, and session times out. I also disabled ping and podcasts... no way.
In one word, I'm stuck. What am I supposed to do to be able to use iTunes as I've been done for 10 years?
Thanks
