ITunes crashing Vista/laptop

Hi,
Having serious issues with iTunes 9.2. Every time I attempt to open iTunes on my laptop the whole system stops. The mouse pointer is frozen, CtrlAltDel doesn't work and I have to turn the power supply off to restart. It does the same thing when my nano is connected (assuming this is because iTunes is attempting to open. The exact same thing is happening with Skype so it's probably something about my system as opposed to iTunes only.
Any ideas? It's driving me mad.
Cheers!
Andy

Go to
Skype-->File -> Options -->Hand/Headsets-->USB Audio Device(do not use windows default device)
You can also tick the ring pc speaker check box as this is a good backup to alert you even if the main speakers are off or turned down.
Start-->Control panel-->Sound and Audio devices
On the audio tab set the default playback device to your main soundcard.
In Audio (untick) Use only default devices

  • ITunes Crashing vista

    Can anyone explain why the new itunes 7.1 the claimed fix!! now crashes vista as soon as i open it and is there another fix i can try i have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times to no avail PLEASE HELP it already corrupted my ipod now i have a blank ipod and no way to sync it!!!!

    Read this, it should help explain a few things to ya. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=789157&tstart=75
    iTunes and Vista are not playing very nicely together at this point. I would hope that the next version will smooth out all the kinks. I believe it should be out soon. But as for the crashing thing, I have not heard that one before.

  • Router Crashes Vista Laptop

    If you are having problems when a Vista laptop wakes up from sleep mode.  Usualy knockes the laptop and other devices off the network and hoses the routers reservation as well.
    Set the dhcp Broadcast flag to 0 in the registry and the problem stops.

    Could be related to your router also...

  • Itunes 9 download crashes my laptop

    Hi all,
    I got a brand new Ipod for my birthday and on connecting it to my laptop it told me i needed at least itunes 9.0 for it to work.
    I currently have itunes 8.1.2 and for some reason i can't install itunes 9.0.
    Whenever the download is about 75% complete my laptop crashes, even task manager. And i have to manually reboot before i can do anything.
    I've tried to download itunes 9.0 from the website but the same thing happens it crashes just when it begins to install Quicktime.
    I uninstalled itunes and then when i tried to uninstall Quicktime again everything crashed. I have clicked repair as well and again it crashes my laptop.
    Pleaseeee can someone help me i just want to get up and running with my lovely new ipod and am soo frustrated.
    Thanks,
    Caitlin

    I uninstalled itunes and then when i tried to uninstall Quicktime again everything crashed. I have clicked repair as well and again it crashes my laptop.
    Good lord. That's a fairly dramatic symptom to have occur during an install/uninstall (nowadays), Caitlin.
    My worry here is that there's some disk damage on the PC "underneath" some QuickTime program files. So when Windows Installer tries to remove those files, it hits the dodgy patch of disk, and everything turns to custard. (Usually with one of those sorts of problems you'd get a 2330 installation error message, but if the disk damage is of the right/wrong type, a freeze of the PC would also be quite plausible.)
    Try running a disk check over the drive you've got your QuickTime program files installed on. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors:
    [Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
    Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an iTunes/QuickTime install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITunes sync keeps crashing Vista and Win7 - driving me nuts! Please help

    I cannot get iTunes to complete a sync of either my iPhone 3GS or my wife's 3G after updating both to firmware v4.0.1. The back ups appear to complete, then the sync goes through app updating OK and seems to crash when loading music in playlists, or when troubleshooting, I deselected syncing music altogether, it crashed during syncing photo albums from folders. When it crashes, the laptop (Vista) just completely shuts off. I clean uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and had the same problem. I disabled the firewall and anti-virus programs as well with no luck.
    Then, I swapped out the hard drive for a new one with a clean installation of Win7, freshly installed iTunes and copied and updated my music library and tried to sync and got the exact same crashing problem with the laptop abruptly shutting off. So after around 8 hours on a Saturday futzing around with this, I have accomplished nothing and am really frustrated.  Can anyone suggest something to get iTunes working properly?
    Thanks...

    Will not complete a sync without crashing and saying cannot read to the device or something to that effect.
    That sounds familiar.
    Just doublechecking ... have you worked through the suggestions from the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?
    [What to do when Windows displays a blue screen error message or restarts when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502]
    (The stuff I was worried about in my initial reply has since been documented in its own troubleshooting document. Some of the symptoms of that are covered in: [iTunes for Windows: System restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3441] )

  • ITunes crashes on startup (7.4.3.1 and previous versions on Vista 32Bit)

    Deleting/moving the itunes library files (iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl) makes it work fine which leads me to believe it crashes when loading the playlist. But not always!
    iTunes crashes on startup on my vista 32bit.
    Even after I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 and reinstalled iTunes several times.
    I've also tried reinstalling quicktime and selecting "Repair" to no avail.
    Running it in XP2 compatibility mode doesn't help.
    Disabling Aero doesn't help.
    Whether or not my iPhone is plugged in or not seems to make no difference.

  • Trying to Home share an itunes library from Vista laptop to Windows 8 laptop

    Alright, so both laptops have been setup the same, home sharing turned on, exact same apple id and password. Both computers can see each other in the dropdown menu for "library",  HOWEVER, while the Vista laptop can see & import the library from the Windows 8 laptop, then Windows 8 laptop cannot see & therefore not import the library from the Vista laptop & out of the system without issue, the router has been checked to ensure that nothing is standing in the way on that end either. Is this some sort of backwards incompatibility? Or am I overlooking something  obscenely obvious? Any and all help is welcome, I have looked at a large number of discussions here and throughout the web already, nothing seems to work for my situation. Please help!!!

    Hello there MicknMadd,
    It sounds like one of your computers can see the others library and import from it, but the other does not. You've done a lot of great troubleshooting and verification already, and I would recommend steps 5-7 from the following article to help further troubleshoot:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    5. Check Firewall settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
    6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
    If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device.
    Note that Home Sharing cannot transfer or stream audiobook content purchased from Audible.com. See Audible.com for information on using their content with multiple devices.
    7. Restart your network router
    Restart your home network router using the method recommended in documentation from the manufacturer. This may include disconnecting the power cord for thirty seconds or more.
    Note: During this period, Internet services such as a VoIP-based phone will not work, and any additional routers may need to be reset in sequence.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. How do I resolve this. I reinstalled, I checked permissions for my account, and I checked permissions for the folders. I am using a Windows Vista laptop.

  • How do i connect my windows vista laptop to iPhone personal hotspot? Will it still work if my laptop doesnt have iTunes installed?

    I am currently using iPhone 4 and windows vista laptop. i cant seem to get my windows vista laptop to connect to the personal hotspot on my iPhone using USB. Is it because iTunes is not installed in my windows vista laptop?
    I have tried it on a MacBook Pro and it works perfectly fine.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues
