Itunes crashes when any device is connected

Been having this problem for weeks now and just can't seem to find any solution.
Basically I upgraded to the newest version of itunes (the one before the most recent)and ever since then If I connect any device to my itunes, be it my iPhone 3G,iPhone 4 or my 5th Gen iPod, itunes crashes immediatly and I get the windows error message "Itunes 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"
Now it's not a problem with any of my devices, because i've tried with friends ipods and it does the same thing. I've literally tried everyone, uninstalled and reinstalled, set itunes to not automatically sync devices,deauthorised and authorised my account,tried older version of itunes and done a system restore of my whole laptop.
It's driving me crazy, havent been able to sync anything for weeks now and it's majorly ******* me off! So can anyone help?

Right sometimes when the error message comes up, windows gives me these details.
Apparently the error stems from these 3 files
Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\WERA449.tmp.version.txt
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\WERB05B.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\WERD96F.tmp.mdmp
Does that shed any light on the problem?

After updating, now itunes crashes when I try to connect to the store

My computer is authorized and I had itunes installed on it. I updated to the latest version and now am unable to connect to the itunes store "home" page. As teh progress bar moves to the right (while connecting), it gets about 80% complete, then I get an error message saying "itunes has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I am SO annoyed! I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes several times no but to no avail. Same thing happens. Of course, there'sno tel number for me to call, so I had to waste my time finding this board and posting this message when I coulda/shoulda/woulda had this resolved already.
After the OS7 crashing/locking up my ipad because of your faulty OS7 update and now this, I am seriously starting to hate everything apple.

Hey Acclimated!
I have an article here that should be able to help you resolve this issue:

ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!
HP Windows XP Using DSL for internet access

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

ITunes crashing when connecting to the store on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I had iTunes crashing when connecting to the iTunes Store with an Apple ID. I tried unsucessfully all the solutions posted on the many threads of people having the same issue. So I decided to reinstall Windows. A clean Windows 8.1 install from the Microsoft DVD. And guess what, it is still crashing! How can this even be possible?
The problem:
- iTunes crashes when connecting to the store with an Apple ID. It connects, briefly freezes, then crashes.
- I can access the store without an Apple ID without crashes. But it crashes as soon as I connect with an Apple ID.
The system:
- A clean, fully updated, Windows 8.1 Pro w/ WMC install from the Microsoft DVD.
- Applications I installed, along with iTunes: Adobe Reader, Google Chrome, Skype, Office 2013. Nothing else. No crapware. No nothing. These are fairly common applications that shouldn't conflict with iTunes.
- Antivirus is the built-in Windows Defender.
- Firewall is the built-in Windows Firewall.
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 on an Acer V3-571-6486
- I have not moved Apple's folder from Romaing and Local AppData of the old systems... So it's a clean iTunes profile.
- I can sucessfully sign-in to the iTunes Store with this account on another computer
- I have tried with multiple accounts on this computer, all crashing
There are tons of threads about this. I tried all the solutions posted, including:
- Adding "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support" to the PATH environment variable
- Copying QTMovieWin.dll from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes"
- Moving QTMovieWin.dll from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes"
- Updating the graphics card to the latest available driver from Intel's website (9.17.10.3517, 2014-10-04)
- Downgrade the graphics driver (9.17.10.3347, 2014-01-29)
- Use the graphic's driver from Acer's website.
- Use Microsoft's Basic VGA Driver
- Disable the Graphic's Adapter entirely
- Have tried to monitor the process with ProcMon, looking for a hint like a missing file or registry entry, but have not found anything helpful.
These solutions seem to have worked for almost everyone, but not me. The crash details in the Windows Application log are useless. Faulty module name is 'unknown'.
I am out of solutions. Is there anything left to do? Can anyone out Apple debug the dump file or something? Is there any way to contact Apple about this issue?
Many thanks.

Hey zoyashahab,
Ok, so it sounds like there are two issues here we want to address, the first being the iTunes Store connection issue and the second being iTunes not recognizing your iOS devices.
First, I'd start with troubleshooting the recognition by following the steps in here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If after getting that running again, you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, then I'd go through the troubleshooting steps in here:

Itunes crashes when trying to open the devices preferences

itunes crashes when trying to open the devices preferences. I use Mac osX 10.7.3 and iPhone 4s. The iPhone (and iPad) syncs via WLAN but when i try to open the iPhones/iPad Preferences in iTunes iTunes crashes. Any Idea?

ITunes crashes when connecting iPad or iPhone

iTunes crashes when i connect iPad or iPhone. Running OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date iTunes version?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Open iTunes when this device is connected

"Open iTunes when this device is connected" is not on the Summary Tab as stated by the Help screen. So where is it?

Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

ITunes crashes when I attempt to open my iPhone within iTunes

Since updating iTunes and installing the latest iphone software iTunes crashes when I attempt to open my iphone in the device panel. I therefore cannot perform any manual functions on my phone through iTunes. I'm running 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.
Any suggestions?

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Itunes crashes when importing music (v10.5.2.11, Win 7 (64))

iTunes crashes whenever I try to import either a file or folder - regardless of the file format (e.g. WMA, MP3 etc.).
This is only a recent problem. Is the only option to try to re-install iTunes?
Thanks for any assistance.

If I select ok, Windows 7 pops up with iTunes has stopped working and then it shuts iTunes down. Anyone else every have this issue. Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks,

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
