ITunes crashes while installing...

Hi
couple of months ago I purchased this new PC and installed iTunes on this, also purchased a new laptop HP Pavillon 4000 series with which iTunes came preinstalled. Now some time back I used system restore on both (PC + Laptop) and when after it I tried to run iTunes it gave me problem, the standard crashing error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to be closed. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
now at my laptop i have Windows XP Home Edition installed. So I tried reinstalling iTunes, but as it installed itself soon after the finish message appeared the crash message hit me right in my face. I did it several times and finally I sorted out to uninstall quick time first, then the iTunes and then do a registery fix with registery mechanic 5.2 and then try installing iTunes. This time it installed both the iTunes and Quicktime and ran alrite. So my laptop was fixed. Now I was facing the same problem in my PC, so I tried the same thing on it but to no avail. Even after uninstalling Quick time seperatly it doesnt install quicktime with it, ONLY iTunes setup runs. And as soon as the installation is finished it crashes. What is wrong?
I am using a Intel P4 3.2 GHz, 1GB DDR RAM, Microsoft Windows Professional SP2.

hi Ali!
the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

  • Itunes crashing while installing imatch

    Is imatch working with windows 7? itunes is always crashing when the 2nd step of the imatch synchronization is running? I have already reinstalled itunes, updated on the latest versions etc. Any ideas or solutions??

    I seem to be having the same problem. I insert the cd and it reads it fine. I click to import and iTunes locks up. I use task manager to close iTunes and system is still bogged down. I have paid several people $$ and they don't seem to know the problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere but where?
    Last person to help suggested that I use WinAmp to rip the cd and THEN import to iTunes.
    Hubby has a Creative Labs MP3 and ripped 100+ cd's prior to iTunes installation with no problem.
    Can anybody out there help?

    I've bought a movie but iTunes crashes while trying to download it. Do you experience the same today?

    Can you not sync your iPod with iTunes? That should get the movie onto your computer. Now sync your iPad and transfer the movie?

  • ITunes crashes while trying to sync videos during optimizing

    Hello, Folks,
    iTunes crashes while trying to sync during the optimizing phase if there are any videos in the folder.
    If I remove the videos from the folder, the sync succeeds.
    The videos were imported from the iPhone using the Windows 7 import dialog.

  • Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

    Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files.  Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files.  I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes.  Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.  64-bit iTunes.

    @tposchi
    I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

  • MBP won't boot after crashing while installing OSX

    Hi
    My 2010 15" Macbook Pro crashed while installing Mountian Lion. This was clean install, I had earlier in the process formatted the harddrive.
    I have browsed the forum for similar problems, but neither holding down cmd+ctrl+r+p, cmd+r nor just the option key on start-up gives me anything but black screen.
    To avoid confusion I am sure that the computer is starting as I can hear the fans starting.
    I hope very much to receive input, thank you

  • ITunes crashes while accessing iTunes Store with a intel video driver

    I have a DELL laptop running Windows 8.1 with i7 4500U at 1.8G, 8G ram, 1TB hard disk, NVidia GT750M, iTunes is working fine at downloading or updating apps but crashes while I trying to accessing iTunes Store, no matter I choose run with intel integrated video card or Nvidia video card.
    I wonder if this is happened because of Win 8.1 incompatibility or intel video driver, the driver is up to date and if I try an older driver, iTunes won't start at all.
    The same thing happens with Adobe Photoshop CC 64bit, it just get freezed but get an error message said intel driver is crashed and auto recovered.
    a message is shown if I run iTunes with intel video card by default when i access itunes store, but itunes quit if I try nvidia video card, without any error message.

    I'd like to add some more details to my question.
    I don't know if this happens at Win8 since I updated to Win 8.1 right after I purchased my laptop, all Win patches are up to date and also iTunes, I am running Win 8.1 64bit Pro version.
    I tryed to reinstall iTunes, install quicktime or reinstall quicktime, also tryed to use microsoft kb 2639417, but it does not support win 8.1.

  • ITunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos

    Hi Support,
    I have a problem while I sync my iPhone 4.If I select ‘include video’ option in ‘Sync Photos’ from folder iTunes crashes. It works absolutely fine if ‘include video’ option is not selected. The videos inside my sync folder are compactable with iPhone, since it was taken by iPhone.

    I recently updated my iTunes to version 10.4.0.80 and my iPhone is running iOS v 4.3.4 (8K2)
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi All,
    I have exact same problem wiith an iPAD2, latest Itunes & iPAD OS.  I removed all the previously syncing okay video content from my Pictures folder (I have mixed photos and video content in each sub folder) and it syncronises okay with "Include Videos" turned on and then even if I put just one video file now in any sub folder iTunes crashes as soon as it tries to optimise this video.  I am running Windows 7 Professional and never had any problems prior to latest updatte so come on Apple, surely this is a serious problem evreyone must be having? I have imovie on my iPad and now all the video content it needs I cant get onto the iPAD2.  I have tried installing an earlier version but it won't let me and there seems to be conflicting threads on how to do this without losing all my settings and libraries for contacts, email, >10,000 photo's and video's, apps etc.

  • ITunes crashed while downloading purchased music

    I bought some songs from iTunes and it crashed while I was downloading. It seems that the crash happened while I was downloading the first song so I was not able to download any of the songs I bought.
    Is there a way to re-download these songs? Or is there any way I can prevent this from happening again? Other than get a mac of course cuz I can't afford it right now :P

    Got it to start downloading! Thanks!

  • Itunes crashes while updating ipod

    can anybody help me with this problem my itunes always crashes while im in the middle of updating my ipod

    Try using the iPod software updater to restore settings to factory default and then upload all you music back onto it.
    If that doesn't work, try to post some more details about it crashing; Does the iPod lock up your system? Does iTunes lock up? Does iTunes shut down?

  • Itunes crashing while synching apple tv

    I have removed and reinstalled apple tv a number of times to no avail. Keep getting an error message after opening itunes while apple tv tries to synch. Tried unplugging my router, unplugging my modem, resetting the apple tv but same thing keeps happening. Any solutions out there?

    I believe I may have stumbled over the solution.
    I use my Apple TV rarely - every couple of weeks. Most of the time if it powered down in standby mode.
    It has performed flawlessly, although took a couple of attempts and many hours to sync the 18000 photo, videos and music. (70gb in all.)
    So last night I was using it and tried the Genius function. While doing this it prompted me to create and save a play list. I did this.
    Next thing I know, a couple of hours later I am trying to download a new song in Itunes on my PC, and voila - Itunes crashed before I could even get to click on anything. I noticed that Itunes would load, but as soon as it started to "sync" with the Apple TV, it would crash - say 10 seconds into Itunes loading. So Itunes loaded the graphics for the Itunes shop like normal, then it started to sync the Apple TV in the background. This is when Itunes crashed and I go the usual "Itunes has stopped working, do you want to tell Microsoft" error.)
    Luckily I read this forum and it prompted me to take a look at the playlist I created. The playlist was fine, so I deleted the playlist - IMPORTANT NOTE: This was the only playlist I had created using the Apple TV, all others were created in Itunes.
    Once I deleted this playlist, and fired up Itunes again, Itunes and the Apple TV synced just fine. No crash.
    Problem solved? Maybe. Here's hoping. I'd call it a work around until Apple can work out what is causing the problem.
    Note I still have videos from my camera in my "Photos" album, and I am having no problems....
    Hope this helps.... Now how do I tell Apple so they can see if they can replicate my problem and find a fix?
