Itunes comes up with error message on opening "itunes has stopped working..

Help
i have installed itunes onto my vista laptop and it stops working when opened, it comes up with an error message "itunes has stopped working microft is checking for a solution" and then closed itunes. I have followed apples advise and unistalled and installed it a few times, removed all unecessary files etc etc.

"itunes has stopped working microft is checking for a solution"
Fingers crossed, your Vista problem history may give us more information on what is going on.
Go into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel, click on the Problem History, and look for iTunes problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the problem reports. Do they all say the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here.

  • When i load i tunes, it comes up with error message stating "i tunes has stopped working.A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will clode the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have no idea to fix

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". It has me stuffed on such a problem that should be easy to load. Please help!!!!

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • TS4062 I keep getting the error message "apple outlook DAV has stopped working"

    My phone and I pad all of the sudden just stopped syncing with my desktop.  I have had my phone for over a year when 4s first came out and everything was syncing fine.  Then all the sudden it stopped.  I keep getting the error message "apple outlook DAV has stopped working".  I have rebooted, checked for duplicates, signed in and out of the cloud and still nothing.  Has anyone had this problem and know of a good way to handle it.  Also, now my phone and Ipad don't sync with the cloud either.  Please help.

    Windows 7 Professional.  I meant that when I open a word doc and want to turn it into a PDF, i get the same error message.  In the mean time I paid the $40.00 and spoke to Adobe and after 40 minutes, they re-installed Reader X instead of XI so now it works but I am not overly thrilled that I had to pay for it.

  • Error Message: Unfortunately Xperia Home has stopped working

    I have had my Z3 for nearly 3 weeks now and until this morning all was working well - loved the phone! 
    2 things happened this morning (may be connected).
    On first trying to use the phone (from it being asleep overnight) the screen froze and it would do nothing.  I left it a few minutes (so it went back to sleep again) and all appeared then to be fine.  I did a restart.
    A little later (no more than 90mins) I found the phone to be showing an error message - Unfortunately Xperia Home has stopped working - (OK).   On clicking OK, message appeared again, and again and again. I tried rebooting the phone and hoped this would clear the error. It didn't.  I was, however, by a very round about route able to get on-line. 
    Swipe down to quick settings
    Settings
    Change home screen to simple
    Error message still came up but would go once I clicked OK. I managed to get online and did a search for the error - found this thread:
    http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-J/Unfortunately-Xperia-Home-has-stopped-Working/td-p/720607 
    I had a system update that had downloaded and was ready to install, so before trying to clear all the data on xperia home (as suggested in the thread - Apps - All - Xperia Home - clear data) I ran the update.  This didn't clear the error - Xperia home has stopped working. 
    So, I followed the instructions on the thread above ie, all apps, xperia home, clear data. (It doesn't actually clear all the data, your accounts, passwords etc are all left intact. However, it does clear your home screens of all settings and personalisation (although it didn't change my background).  
    Touch wood, the phone now seems to be OK (having reset my home screens.
    Having been an xperia user for a number of years (I loved my Z and had no problems with it and actually delayed upgrading) I am extremely disappointed that this flagship phone should start giving error messages such as this, particularly after only 3 weeks of use.  I only hope that this is the last time I see this message!
    At least am tech savvy enough to have been able to circumvent the error, get online, find a solution quickly and sort the problem out - all done in the space of 40mins on the way to work!!   
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Does Sony have any answers as to why this has occurred?
    Hope this all makes sense!!

  • When I try to load a film, I get an error message "Premier Eliments 12 has stopped working"

    when I try to load a film, I get an error message "Premier Elements 12 has stopped working"

    You'll need to get the specs for these videos and set up your Premiere Elements project accordingly. (MOV is just the package for the files. It tells you nothing of the video specs.)
    Open the video files in the free download G Spot or Media Info and post to this forum the dimensions, frame rate and audio and video codecs listed.

  • Error message - photoshop elements editor has stopped working

    Hi - I've installed photoshop elements 8 twice, and I still get the error message "photoshop elements editor has stopped working" .  I can't seem to get beyond this point.  My system is Windows Vista.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

  • Continuous Error Message: Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working

    I have Windows V8ista on an Inspiron530s. Through out any operation I continue to get the following massage:
    "Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working                                                                                                                                                  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  For several weeks I have tried to find the reason for getting the error message. It will appear in a little box several times an hour during any operation. (internet or document) I can find no answers in any forum. I have an HP all-in one printer that I uninstalled & reinstalled the software for at the suggestion of another, but that did not solve the problem.
     AT THE SAME TIME: I have Trend Micro Internet Security,(aka PC-Cillion) and though the firewall & defenses are up, I can not get it to scan the computer for virusus. I have talked with Trend Mico Tech Support 4 times on the phone and various adjustments have been made, but thhas been no fix. They seem to think the problem is connected to this error message.  I am at wits end. Can someone help??  :?/

    Ivy,
    You never did tell us what version of Windows you're using. If it's XP, look in Windows Scheduled Tasks. If Dell Support Center is listed there, delete it.
    Are you really sure you removed Support Center in Add/Remove Programs control panel?
    According to Alexandra, one of the forum VIPs:
    "The newest DSC 3.0 makes things complicated becomes it comes in 2 parts.  There's a 1+MB program called aulauncher.exe that apparently checks for compatibility, plus any current/old versions to be overwritten or uninstalled.  Only if the PC passes the aulauncher "test" do you get the full 40+MB DSC install program.  That's possibly the reason for "you already have the latest version".   Aulauncher also adds a "run once" key to the registry.    If the aulauncher doesn't get it right, you're stuck in a loop."    
    And see if there's anything helpful here, though the links in Dell-Telson's post might be out of date.

  • Error message: adobe mediacore CS6 has stopped working --????

    I am trying to run premiere elements 10 on a high=end pc with 8gb of memory, Win 7 Pro4-bit, massive hard drives and no conflicting software (that I can see....).
    Can open up the program and use the manage module. It shows me three files that I have ready to work on. When I go to edit one of those files I get: 'adobe prem elem 10 has stopped working' and then 'adob media core CS6 has stopped working'. I can see from googling that other people have had this problme with no solution from Adobe yet. Any ideas?  And no, running some defragmenter and system check thing on my PC is not in the cards. Don't need to buy any of those guys. Really.....

    After an uninstall of InDesign and the antivirus software, no solution to the problem.  I went into the startup menu and started doing selected start ups.  I was able to narrow down the conflict to the "windows management instrumentation" program.  When this is not running, I get the message that my ID has reached its activation limit and I need a new number or it needs to be deauthorized on at least one computer.  There are a couple of other programs that need WMI to run as well.  I did go in and delete the preferences since nothing I had was hard to recreate.  Can the other files in the cache be deleted as well?  Will ID look for them and recreate them such as the one in the recovery folder?  Anyway, I had one document that I have been working on be rescaled-very strange.  Everything else was unchanged.  One other thing, when I would get the error message, I would close and then reopen the document without any problem.  However, when I closed it again, even if all i did was view it without changing anything, I would get the prompt if I wanted to save the changes.
    So does that help at all in narrowing down the problem?  I have reinstalled the antivirus, and it did not affect anything.  As long as I don't run WMI, I don't get the error message.
    thanks,
    Clark

  • Occasional error message saying "Labview.exe has stopped working"

    Hi,
    I am using Labview 8.0 on a Windows Vista operating system to communicate with lab instruments through GPIB. Occasionally, when one of my programs finishes running, an error message appears saying "Labview.exe has stopped working". The error window gives me the option to close the program or debug. After clicking debug, Windows cannot find the source of the error and the all labview applications get closed. Any ideas? Thanks.

    The code that I have been having an issue with is attached. The main program is called "Frequency Sweep Real Time2". The other two attachments are subVI's used within the main program. I am a young programmer and I have never had any official training with Labview so sorry if my Labview programming is unconventional or just plain bad. Thanks to whoever looks this over.

  • Powershell 4.0: Problem with error handling inside Eventhandlers - Powershell has stopped working

    Hallo!
    Please see the attached sample code. This code simply show a small WPF-Dialog.
    Test 1 (showing the problem)
    Simply run the program. You will see Powershell crashing "Powershell has stopped working".
    The cause of this is the devision by 0 inside the Eventhandler.
    We would normally expect, that the exception should be handled by the trap.
    Test 2 (showing normal operation)
    Simply remove the comment in line 28 ($i=1/0).
    This activates an exception outside the Eventhandler. Now the Trap will be executed normally.
    --> The exception can be handled by the Powershell Devloper.
    Can anybody help? Why does the Error management via Trap not work inside Eventhandlers?
    Thanks for some assistance and ideas!
    Regards

  • Error message "Blackberry Desktop Manager has stopped working"

    I have a Blackberry 8310, and since dowloading the latest version of Desktop Manager software (Version 4.3) I have run into repeated problems with synchonization with my Outlook (using Vista).
    When I try to sync the device with my laptop, I get the error message in the subject line above, and Windows closes the Desktop Manager program.  This occurs when the Calendar function is trying to sync. 
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Try the following:
    Make sure your BB is not connected to the computer.
    Close the desktop manager.
    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application data
    Delete the entire Intellisync folder.
    Connect your BB and open the desktop manager.
    Sync your device.

  • Error message:  Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem.  When I open an InDesign file, I get the error message above.  Then windows is looking for a solution.  I close the window and reopen the file and it opens right up.  This problem does not occur if I open InDesign first then open the file.  Only when I try to open the file and InDesign starts to run.  I am running Windows 7 64bit.  Any ideas out there?

    After an uninstall of InDesign and the antivirus software, no solution to the problem.  I went into the startup menu and started doing selected start ups.  I was able to narrow down the conflict to the "windows management instrumentation" program.  When this is not running, I get the message that my ID has reached its activation limit and I need a new number or it needs to be deauthorized on at least one computer.  There are a couple of other programs that need WMI to run as well.  I did go in and delete the preferences since nothing I had was hard to recreate.  Can the other files in the cache be deleted as well?  Will ID look for them and recreate them such as the one in the recovery folder?  Anyway, I had one document that I have been working on be rescaled-very strange.  Everything else was unchanged.  One other thing, when I would get the error message, I would close and then reopen the document without any problem.  However, when I closed it again, even if all i did was view it without changing anything, I would get the prompt if I wanted to save the changes.
