ITunes closes itself

I have been using iTunes for awhile now and regularly update to the newest version. Within the last few weeks, I have had issues with iTunes. Upon opening the software, more than 70% of the time it will automatically close itself even if it is being used to play a song. It will still appear in the system tray in the bottom right hand corner. When I put the mouse over it is no longer in the tray. It doesn't happen all the time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and the issue is still present.
Is there a way to remove it from the registry and start fresh? I would very much like to use the software, but this is getting ridiculous. I have the software on three machines and this is the only one with the issue.
Thanks in advance.

ITunes closes itself when trying to play TV shows

When I try to play a TV show, the window goes green and then iTunes stops working and closes itself. Songs all play fine, it seems to be just TV shows. Is there any reason for this? How do I stop it?

Itunes closes itself without updating my ipod.

It started happening yesterday, its never happened before, and as far as i know, i'm the only person its happened to. whenever i connect my ipod to my computer, it waits about 30 seconds doing nothing and then a window pops up that says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience".then it closes without updating my ipod every time i try. Anybody know how to fix it?

My CPU is different from a Dell and I am using the new ipod video, but all of the problems you have faced I am dealing with now.
I have tried all the remedies you went through, plus I took my ipod into the apple store to have it reset. Still nothing..
DId you ever get a fix for your ipod? and if so would you mind sharing it.
thanks

Hi!
What type of iPod do you have?
Have you run Software Update to make sure you have the latest versions of the system software, Quicktime in particular?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What does iTunes error code (-45054) mean? iTunes quits itself when you click on "OK"

iTunes error code (-45054) comes up when trying to download a M4b file to our computer to synch with an Ipad. We get this error code when we try to open this audiofile in iTunes and when we click on the OK button on the error code box, iTunes quits itself. Won't open without the error box showing: "An unknown error occurred (-45054)" and quits itself when you click on OK to close the error message box. Uninstall? How? Any ideas or suggestions?

Still have the same issue ? I have it too ! Trying to re install iTunes but the issue is always the same ! ??

Videochat window closes itself during the chat

I have iChat version 3.1.8 and I still use Mac OS X 10.4.10.
I wanted to have a videochat with my mother (she uses AIM Messenger on Win XP), but it didn't work.
The window of the videochat closes itself after less than 5 seconds. Sometimes it's very fast (before I see my mum, sometimes it's after 5 seconds when we could say a half sentence.
I tried to restart the computer, but the problem is still there.
The last days I also had trouble with my computer: slow start-up, blocking (even apple-alt-esc didn't work any more) and troubles with iTunes when I click it in my dock, it doesn't jump, it doesn't open, but there is the little black arrow wich means it's activated. Could this have something to do with it?

Hi
Do you get an error message with the closing of iCHat?
Have you done the following?
iChat>Preferences>Video>Bandwidth limit: None
System Preferences>Quicktime>Streaming>Streaming speed: 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN (don't use Automatic)
Restart iChat
Has the PC end done its settings up? See http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service

Iphone apps closes itself

Hi, I searched around and not seen too many complaints about my problem, I hope someone can help me here.
Got My Iphone 3G 3 weeks ago, everything is great. the only glitch I have is that all the downloaded apps. Google mobile, pandora, Facebook etc... could not be opened. all the apps closes itself soon after it opens. it only happens to the downloaded apps.
I tried every suggested tricks to fix it, soft reboot, hard reboot, reset all settings, firmware update (2.02), none fixed the issue. the only thing that worked was to remove the apps and reinstall again. Than it worked for about a week. just this morning. the issue came back again. Any thoughts?
I don't see anyone complaint about this issue in this forum. I wonder if it is my phone only. should I go to an Apple store to replace it? But the store is really far from me. how else can I get apple's hardware support without going to a store.

My iPhone 3G started doing this last night. One moment I was playing a game of DizzyBee. Then an hour later, I picked up my phone and was suddenly unable to run any third-party apps. Not only am I unable to run are third-party downloaded apps, but my iPod music files and media are inaccessible. When I switch to iPod, it says there is no music in my library, even though when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, it shows all of those apps and music and video files on the "Summary" screen. I suspect there's some kind of authorization problem, where my iPhone seems to have been deauthorized to run any downloaded apps or music.
By sheer coincidence, I check the Cult of Mac blog, and they had just posted an entry about this issue, which is apparently striking a lot of iPhone users around the world: http://cultofmac.com/3rd-party-apps-crashing-itunes-bug-persists-in-iphones/2614
I am going to try to restore my iPhone, but judging from the other comments here, I'm not getting my hopes up, and am fully expecting this problem to remain unsolved until Apple releases that firmware update (sometime in September, according to the Cult of Mac blog).

I can't subscribe to Match on Win 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25. When Apple ID auth window comes up iTunes crashes with "iTunes stopped working" and iTunes closes.

On Windows 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25 I cannot subscribe to iTunes Match. In iTunes I click on iTunes Match in the left pane then click the "Subscribe for $25 a year" button. A window that looks like I am going to be asked to login using my Apple ID and password starts to come up but then an error occurs and I get a window that says "iTunes stopped working" then iTunes closes. What can I do ?

I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

CAN NO LONGER DOWN LOAD MUSIC TO MY SEPERATE HARD DRIVE AS ITUNES CLOSES WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE SETTINGS

i am unable to down load my itunes music onto a sperate hard drive as itunes closes when i try to change the settings

i dont know much about computers but I think this happened to me before.
as I said i hardly know computers. i think I unplugged the hard drive all cables and i turned the computer off too. plug it all again and see if it grabs it again. i did it and it worked. some how the extHD gets stuck on on. so thats why I unplugged it all. I dont know if you want to try that.

HT4527 I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I have a place for my music? Thank you. SandyLyn50

I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. from my PC to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I can put in my music? Thank you so much

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck
