Itunes Has Encountered and error and Needs To close

My troubles all started when i updated my 30 gb ipod using itunes 7, from that day forward...itunes would say my ipod is corrupted, and would not let me add anything to it, it told me i had to restore it.
When clicking restore...it would stop 15secs into it and give me error 1418 saying, it could not be restored.
I then took it back to apple and they gave me a new one.
Now recently ive had new music put on my pc, so upon going to adding folder to add the music to my library, itunes will crash about 30seconds into it.
And windows would say "Itunes has encountered and erro......."
And yes i have followed the procedures to do a clean install of itunes, and its still crashing on me. The inability to not being able to add music to your ipod using windows explorer drag and drop is a pain in the a%^.

Cory,
Are you trying to install the Quicktime standalone installer or Quicktime as part of the iTunes installer?
Let's get an installation log on the problem and send it to the Apple engineers.
1. Turning on some advanced logging by creating a new file in your "Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp" folder with the name "QTInstallerLauncher.log". You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find this folder. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.)
2. Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
3. In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the Quicktime standalone installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
/Verbose"c:\log.txt"
There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote (").
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
and a file called:
"Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\QTPluginInstaller_9999.log" (number may differ). You may have multiple files like this..... Send them all, or at least the most recent ones.
Find those files and send them to the apple moderator. Tell her Toonz sent you. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context.

  • "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" -Gapless Playback

    I've had this problem for a while now and I'm just plain sick of it!
    Every time I start up iTunes it does the "Determining Gapless Playback" thing, but when it gets to certain songs it freezes up and I get an error message that says:
    "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
    This happenes to a lot of songs (a few dozen)and the only way I can actually access my library is by hitting the 'x'next to "Determining Gapless Playback" before it gets to the songs. However, now I can't even do that because it gets to the song immediately.
    I need to know if I can disable the gapless playback or somehow debug this (I have reinstalled iTunes, Quicktime works, I have reloaded my library, done a system restore,and changed users/startup programs... nothing works)
    PLEASE help!
    I run XP if that helps.

  • "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" - can't open iTunes

    Hi guys,
    I'm a huge Apple fan so I obviously decided to upgrade to Apple 7.0.1 the day it came out... installed it. Opened it up, but within just a few seconds i got a Windows message saying
    "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
    I reinstalled it and still have the same problem.
    First few days I could atleast keep iTunes open for a few minutes before the message, but now its down to just a few seconds.
    I run Windows XP if that helps any.
    Please help me fix this problem or tell me how I can put iTunes 6 back on my computer --- I need my music!
    Thanks

    After downloading and installing 7.0.1 my iTunes would not open either. Even worse is you can't go back to v6 if you had v7 running--the database is updated.
    Luckily I was able to get my iTunes to open again by doing the following:
    Click Start/Run
    Type in "%userprofile%\application data\apple computer"
    Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
    Close the window.
    Click Start/Run again.
    Type in "%userprofile%\local settings\application data\apple computer"
    Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
    Close the window.
    Try opening your iTunes again. It may re-ask some general setup questions, but mine opened without the error, and it still had all my music. However, I did have to re-authorize my computer.
    I used to never be leary about updating iTunes... guess Apple's software ain't no peach, either.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Itunes has encountered an error and needs to close...HELP!

    I am trying to get my son's new ipod nano ready for music, I have downloaded itunes, but it will not open. When I click on the icon, a message that says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" It asks if I want to send an error report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled (twice) I do not have Norton or any other anti-virus, apparantly. I have restarted a couple of times. I have ready MANY threads on similar issues, tried most with no luck. any suggestions, son is bgetting anxious-all he has done is look at his new ipod for 2 days!
    emachines Windows XP 1.80GHz Intel Celeron, 40GB hd

    This error could be caused by a number of things. Try it one more time, and if the error comes up write down what kind of error it is (ie. Symantec, Runtime,). Then do a google search for that. You may be able to find a solution elsewhere.

  • "iTunes has encountered an error and has to close"

    I'm getting this error message whenever I plug in my nano or my mini. iTunes crashes. This just started happening. So far I've reset, restored, reinstalled - you name it. But nothing works.
    iTunes works fine when there's no iPod plugged in.
    Help?

    well done MAJR!
    just a note on the error message "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    there are actually at least three different contexts in which people get this message, and the treatments will differ depending on the context. here's some info on the three most common contexts.
    "itunes has encountered a problem ..." when LAUNCHING ITUNES
    this is the most common time to see the message. in my experience, 90% of the time this is caused by a broken QuickTime 7.0.x. So the first thing people should check for is whether their Quicktime will launch, or whether it gives them an error message when they try to launch it.
    if you get an error message when you try to launch Quicktime, the standard treatment is to swap out your QuickTime. there's actually an Apple KB doc on the problem, although the silly sausages have given the error message incorrectly in the doc (as of the 23 December 2005 revision), which makes it more difficult to find the message when you're searching for it:
    iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
    ... that method is pretty servicable in the majority of cases, but it leaves you open to a known complication of a broken Quicktime where people can't uninstall their QT and get an error message citing their QuickTime "uninstall.log". so i usually suggest to people that they try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall instead (which gets past the "uninstall.log" error):
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (run the install from there rather than online.) switch off all antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    known complications of QuickTime reinstalls: the most common (for QT versions 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 and iTunes versions 5.0.0.35 through 6.0.1.3, at least) is an error message citing "Error 0x80040707". in this context (again, the treatments for this error message are context dependent too), the most common cause of the Error 0x80040707 is a snarlup in the QT installation registry entries.
    what typically fixes it is the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    use the utility to clear the existing Quicktime entries. then try the careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again.
    other known causes of "itunes has encountered a problem ..." on launch: probably the most common of the rarer causes (if you'll pardon the oxymoron) is a rare weird problem to do with the registry and user accounts on XP machines.
    to check for that, first head into your "User Accounts" control panel and create a new user account with full administrative privileges. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "Fast User Switching" in your logging-on preferences.
    now, log out of the old account and log into the new account. can you get itunes to launch inside the new account?
    if itunes does launch inside the new account, then try an experiment (this rules out an ultra-rare "false positive diagnosis" of the registry/user-account thing). use the following technique to share the music from your old account to the new account:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    if itunes still launches from the new account once you've shared the music from the old account to the new account, then you've got the registry/user-account thing.
    fixing the old account might be tricky. we've had mixed success with combinations of complete uninstalls of itunes using the following technique:
    Da Gopha: Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
    ... followed by application of a Registry repair program such as RegCleaner or Registry Fix. failing that, it might be worth just "moving house" to the new account.
    (there are other even rarer causes of this message on launch ... if you believe you've got one of those, best to start your own thread and explicitly explain as best as you can what the behavior is and what steps you've already taken to try to resolve the issue.
    "itunes has encountered a problem ..." when IMPORTING A CD
    in iTunes versions 4.9 through 6.0.1.3 this was most commonly caused by a hyperthreading problem on PCs with dual cores and dual processors. on those versions of iTunes, the workaround was to set the itunes affinity to a single core/processor. (Otto42 is our authority on that topic.) but the bug has been fixed in iTunes 6.0.2:
    iTunes for Windows quits unexpectedly importing CDs on a dual-processor or dual-core computer
    "itunes has encountered a problem ..." when PLUGGING IN AN IPOD
    the most mysterious of the three main classes. there doesn't seem to be a common cause of this one (or at least it hasn't been clearly identified yet).
    probably the first things to check up on are:
    iTunes for Windows may unexpectedly quit when syncing folders of pictures with iPod
    ... but if no joy there, this is probably the best next port of call:
    Troubleshooting an unexpected quit or restart of Windows, iTunes, or QuickTime

  • HELP....itunes has encountered an error and needs to close

    I have been following quite a few people with the same problem, nothing i do seems to work. I have been using itunes for years and have burnt many CD. recently i purchased an ipod with video, downloaded realplayer for the mp4 ripping capabilitie....now no matter how many toimes I re install itunes has encountered.....HELP!

    Hey there,
    I use norton System works and windows XP firewall(not to sure on this, but i'm certain I don't have an installed firewall. The problem truly seemed to begin with downloading realplayer.
    I can not remove either Quickplayer or itunes from the add or remove programs through windows, and when I try to reinstall with the disk it asks if I want to remove completley-It's either yes or cancel neither do anything.
    What else can I tell you that will help. Thanks for you time.

  • Since the iTunes update to 10.6 everytime I open iTunes there is an error message that says that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to shut down. Is there a way to fix this or go back to an older version of iTunes?

    Ever since the update, when I load iTunes it encounters an error and force closes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything Apple twice and that hasn't fixed the issue. Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes?

  • ITunes has encountered an error and must close every time I try to open it.

    I happen to have an iPod Video 30GB and I was happily using iTunes for a few months after acquiring my iPod when suddenly, out of the blue, when I tried to open iTunes, it came up with an error which basically said that it had encountered an error and had to close. The problem is that the window doesn't even get to open.I have read through countless FAQ's on the website and none of them seem to be getting near the problem.I sent an error report and I then checked if the problem had been solved. It said 'No'.I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they know how to fix it.

Please close the program." iTunes still mdetects my other two iPhones and iPod touch on 3.1.3, 4.1, and 4.2.1. Also, iTunes will recognize my iPad just fine on the administrator account.

    Help! I keep getting this error: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/jmarfia/itunes_error.jpg
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/repairing, etc. Everything I cand think of, and no luck. Norton AV and Zonealarm are running, Windows XP, etc. Was working fine a few days ago, and now it won't work at all. iTunes starts up, I get the error, and that's it - shuts down again.
    Ideas??

    hi Jodster!
    gaaah. these are a sequence of things that we haven't had reported before. apologies for managing to screw up the spouse's account too.
    but there is one blank line that I see briefly before iTunes crashes that I assume is that song. I delete it quickly before iTunes crashes, but it's there again when I start it again.
    One more thing -- it worked in the second admin accout UNTIL I copied over my iTunes folder to that account. Then it stopped. The third account is still working, but I haven't copied over the folder... Could it be a corrupt file in the actual folder?
    hmmmmmmm. a blank line in itunes ...
    the library files maintain your itunes database information ... so if there's a blank line showing up up just before the crash ... maybe you've actually got a
    b really
    kinky variation on a corrupt library file problem (rather than one of the evil registry-related beasts). if that is the case ... then the diagnostic test might well have given us a false positive on the registry issue (since there would have been different library files in the spouse's account). A reinstall doesn't touch the library files, so the problem would persist ...
    gaah.
    for reference purposes, here's the standard version of the corrupt library file error:

  • Fixed "itunes has encountered an error and must close"

    had this exact error and tried may things. I finnaly have it working. Here is what worked for me.
    1, Download a previous version of Quick Time and install it.
    2, Remove it with the add, remove programs feature in Control Pannel.Make sure that it is completley removed. (I found that I could not get rid of it without installing the older version.)
    3, remove Itunes.
    4, Now turn off the virus software and reinstal itunes and the quicktime that comes with it.
    It should now work.

  • ITunes has encountered an error and needs to close XP SP3

    Hello everyone,
    I know you might have discussed this before, but I could not get the right discussion about it. So yesterday, my windows decided to go from XP SP2 to SP3. Internet Explorer got installed and now everytime I try to open iTunes I get the same error. When I check the task manager, I can see iTuneshelper.exe working. Does anybody know how to fix this?. I think Katrina posted something about DEF and give permission to iTunes to run, is that right?
    Looking forward to hear from you,

    I used RegCleaner and found a lot of bad entries in my registry. Cleaned it, erased any folder for iTunes or Quicktime and rebooted. Installed iTunes+Quicktime again and it worked. Lost everything though. In case somebody might need this information

    Hey >< Alright, so i didn't start having this problem until today. It was working fine a week ago, and I've tried tons of options.
    (Uninstalling completely and doing completely clean reinstalls,
    trying quicktime with it, so on.)
    I also have the newest version of itunes installed.
    I've tried restarting my computer several times, disabling my virus protection.. Nothing works.
    The computer i am using would be a Windows XP Professional; SP3.
    The product i am using itunes with would be an Iphone 3GS. Anyway, No matter how hard i try, I've even tried installing older versions.
    To no avail. The Error details I'm getting are these:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.6.3.25 ModName: gdiplus.dll ModVer: 5.2.6002.22791 Offset: 0002edde
    I would really like some help. I honestly don't know what to do next.

    Okay, Turns out Quicktime isn't working either.
    This is what it's giving me:
