ITunes .dll error.  I can't use, uninstall, install iTunes - NEED HELP!

I can't even start up iTunes anymore. I get "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I can get details on the error but it's all Greek to me. Any insights/thoughts? Your help would be most appreciated!

If iTunes is crashing, why don't you send a crash log to those lazy Apple engineers.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. You need to send that file to our buddy Roy. Make sure that you include:
(1) the drwtsn32.log file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes crashes on launch".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get that information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.

  • Issues using/uninstall/installing itunes with vista

    I recently purchaed a computer with vista. Everything was fine with my computer and itunes for a while and then all of a sudden I received a message (through my desktop) that an iTunes file was currupt. Now when I try and open iTunes I get the following message:
    Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ITDetector.ocx Verify that you have access to that directory.
    iTunes won't open after this.
    I have tried to uninstall iTunes (which it will not do) and I recieve this message:
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a program with this package. Error code is 2330.
    When I try and install iTunes 7.2 I get the following message as well and the installation stops:
    Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. THe GEARAspiWDM service use bythe GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted duringthe next system reboot. please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can either repair iTunes or uninstall and then reinstall a working version? I appreciate the help,it has been a little frustrating.

    Just doublechecking something. Were you installing the version 7.3.0.54 that came out just yesterday, or an earlier version?
    If it was an earlier version, perhaps try a 7.3.0.54 install to see if that goes through any better. Here's a link through to that installer:

  • I'am using iPhone4 linked with iTunes on Windows7. Now my wife also gets an iPhone and will use it with iTunes on Mac. Can we use the same iTunes account? What needs to be considered (pros/cons)?

    Who can help?

    Yes, you both can use the same iTunes account, and many users do this. The SLA permits the sharing of iTunes content among up to 5 family members in the same household. Make sure you first authorize your wife's computer: Store>Authorize this Computer.
    However, your wife will need her own Apple ID(verifiable email address), for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

    What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.  I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message.  Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes?  I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

    1: Follow this support doc to completly remove iTunes (your files remain)

  • HT2204 I recently created an ID and i can't use it in itunes

    The thing is that there is no unlocked phone in the US that is available for purchase.  The T-Mobile phone is contract/sim free and not unlocked and for the unlocked phone you have to wait for at least a couple of months after release before the unlocked phone is available. 
    That is why you cannot use the phone in the UK because it was never unlocked in the first place if you activated it with T-Mobile.  Sim/Contract free and unlocked do not mean the same thing.  You will have to wait at least 2 months now before T-Mobile will consider unlocking your phone and then you won't be able to get 4G in the UK and you have no UK warranty, only US where you purchased the phone.
    Why not buy a new phone in the UK that is unlocked and sell the US one?

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

  • Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

    Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

    Yes you can, easily.  When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane.  Set up for that device whatever you want to sync.  When you are done, plug the second pad in.  Make sure it has a different name on the left pane.   Then sync to that pad whatever you want.  I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

  • Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

  • Can I use the same itunes program for different phones?

    I have two iphones I am upgrading to new iphones. I have one computer with itunes on it. With each of the old phones can I use the one itunes to backup one of tthe old phones then restore to one of the new phones. Then do the same sequence for the second old phone?

    If you haven't been syncing the iPhones with iTunes then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Make sure each device has a different name so you can restore the right backup to its replacement.
