ITunes has stopped working after fresh install

Hey there,
Hoping someone can help me out. I've had iTunes for a while but just had to get my computer repaired and after a fresh windows install I am not able to get iTunes to work. I've searched the help forums and tried many things already but had no success.
Some computer info:
Windows 7
Processor: AMD A10-7700K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G 3.40 GHz
Installed memory: 4.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
The error report I get:
Problem signature:

Application Timestamp: 54de1991
Fault Module Name: CoreAudioToolbox.dll

Additional Information 3: 9f55
Additional Information 4: 9f55f98d4376c33fdaaf6d0e91a7f07b
Please help me figure this out.
I have already tried the following:
- Uninstalling iTunes and all the components and reinstalling iTunes
- Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling in Safe Mode (wouldn't work)
- Downloading iTunes for slower video cards and installing that (didn't work)
- Downloading an older version of iTunes (would just rollback during install and not let it complete)
- Tried a different user on my system and also didn't work
Any help is appreciated. I love using this product and would like to continue using it.

also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...

"itunes has stopped working" after downloading album artwork??

For years I've avoided ipod and itunes like the plague...but about 2 weeks ago I gave in. I got an ipod touch and installed itunes. Everything was fine - until this afternoon when I clicked on find album artwork in itunes. After itunes finished going through the process of finding the artwork ( 1400 of 1600 files found, 1450 of 1600 found, etc...or something like that ), i got the error message that *itunes has stopped working*. I've been searching forums all night and tried uninstalling eveything "apple" and reinstalling. Apparently this error comes up for A LOT of people ( problems like this are why I never wanted an ipod... ). None of the recommended fixes are working. I'm assuming something went wrong during artwork downloading????? Or not? I don't really care why actually, but, if itunes crashes every time i hook up my ipod, what good is it ( or the ipod )...and i don't know what to do with the ipod ( how to download apps, or add music, photos and videos ) w/o the itunes. My previous media players were all drag and drop ease.
I'm a newbie - and i'm rally frustrated - so please be kind. Can anyone tell me - in plain terms - how to get my itunes to not "stop working" every time i hook up my ipod?? Please?
THANKS.

OK, so after looking everywhere for an answer - with no luck - I figured it out on my own ( don't ask me how... ). I'll tell you what I did. I bet you have the same problem. Honestly, I thought I'd be returning the **** thing, but it's fine now.
I'd plug in my ipod ( 32gtouch, like yours ), and itunes would open. Everything was fine until it started to sync my music. Then it would freeze, give me the error message, and then shut down. I did this probably 10 times throughout the day, and always the same. Then I noticed it always froze at the same place during the sync. Soooo, I finally realized I must have a corrupt file.
Step 1: Do as I did, but when it starts to freeze, take note of the name of the song it freezes on. That's probably the culprit .Remember it. Let the error message come up and close as always...
Step 2: Open itunes again! Click on your ipod, and then on the music tab. Immediately un-check "Sync music" ( top of the page ) and then click "apply" ( bottom right ). DO THAT FAST...before it has a chance to sync, or it will just freeze again!
Step 3: Go into your music library on itunes, and DLETE/REMOVE that song.
Step 4: Close itunes.
Step 5: Open itunes, and go again to your ipod, and click on music tab. This time, check the "sync music" box ( and apply ).
That should fix it. If it doesn't you have more than one corrupt file. In that case, close itunes and then open it again. Follow step 1 and 2 again. Remove any songs from your library that aren't that important to you ( especially those that were from questionable sources... ). Basically, you need to figure out which song ( or songs ) are causing the problem. If you just delete them all, you'd have to add them again one at a time to avoid the problem again, and that would be a pain. So, just remove as many as you feel like ( out of 1500 songs or so, I removed a couple hundred ). I left mainly the ones that were from my actual CDs or that I had bought through Amazon ( or other legit source ). I removed most of my Limewire downloads. Most of them are probably fine, but I'll add them later one at a time to be sure...
I still have plenty of Limewire songs on there, and they are fine, but, as you know, you do get bad files sometimes.
Anyways, once I did this, everything is fine and works great. I even started adding album art manually, and at one point it froze again. So, I did steps 1 and 2 again, and removed the album art I last added, and then synced again, and it was fine. Usually, the album art I add is OK, but I had that one pesky photo I guess ). So, I guess the thing is after you get the majority of your music on, just add and adjust things a little at a time, and you'll always know which file is causing you problems ( hopefully no files will!! ).
I hope this works for you. Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know if it solves your issue too!
Peace.

"itunes has stopped working" after connecting ipad mini to computer Windows 7

itunes can play 2 out of 10 movies already on my computer. Otherwise, when I start to play the other movies, I get the notice itunes has stopped working etc.
Quicktime Player VERSION 7.7.4 can get to the Apple Store and order a movie. But when I insert my Ipad mini, itunes IMMEDIATELY "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."
I reinstalled lastest itunes 11.1.3 after uninstalling it, and placed it not on the C Drive, which is pretty full but on another drive. I use ImTooiTransferPlatinum to put muisc onto my ipad mini, not itunes.

also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...

Receiving "iTunes has stopped working" after backup

I just now updated to IOS4 and iTunes 10 on my 3G. I had been trying to do this for a week now after I got a new laptop, but it would never work, it would stay in backup limbo for hours and hours. I would even set it to update while I was sleeping and I would wake up with it still lagging.
So I finally decided to just restore it to factory settings and get IOS4 that way. When trying to backup before the restore it kept shutting my iTunes down saying "iTunes has stopped working" and then tell me to close the program. So I just performed the reset without the backup.
But now when I go to sync my apps and songs to the phone, it goes through the automatic backup step and as soon as it reaches the end it gives me the same "iTunes has stopped working" error message. I have tried everything I can think of.
I reset my sync history, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I did a soft reset on my phone, I restarted my computer, and I cannot think of anything else to do.
If anyone out there has any more suggestions, please help.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
now after I got a new laptop.
On that computer launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Restart your computer and try to sync your apps.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions, KLH.
There are a few threads discussing this issue, including this one -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2771714
That thread and a few others mention downloading the DLL from another site. Heres a direct link to the workaround/fix -> http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=13162938&stqc=true
Also, there was a few posts asking what time zone people are in. What timezone are you in and is the computer updated?
WTH.

So, I spent about an hour on the phone to Apple Support (there is no Apple Store here in Hong Kong yet!).
I was asked to delete a system file, and restart, Check my HDD in recovery mode, and boot up in Safe mode - all to no avail!!!
I then got very worried when the technician started saying something like "Do you have all of your files backed up somewhere???"
I have a LaCie Wireless Space, which has not been updated to provide Time Machine bakups again! Old ATF problems, so until the time that I get this sorted, no, I will not erase my HDD!!!
Anyone with this problem who has had it fixed?

After installing version 11.3.1, saying itunes has stopped working

Accepted update to version 11.3.1 this week and now can't get iTunes to work. It starts up, shows the interface and then promptly a message saying iTunes has stopped working is displayed by Windows X64 and it tries to search for a solution to the problem which it can't find. The iTunes was working fine until after this version 11.3.1. I've removed all Apple applications installed (bonjour, mobile support, Qtime, iTunes) and re-installed, but same problem. The iTunes application is broke for me and no resolution I've found on any forums has helped. It's permanently broken.

Hi Figaro56,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an issue where iTunes isn't responding or is quitting unexpectedly. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that help you isolate and resolve the issue.

Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

TS1717 Ever since I downloaded and installed iTunes64Setup.exe v. 6.0.1, it crashes on my Windows 7 system, with the useless message, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program an

iTunes64Setup.exe, even after multiple times of uninstalling and reinstalling with even a fresh download crashes with the message:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem [unspecified] caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you IF a solution is available." I cannot get out of this loop and it renders my iPad HD useless. I tried calling the Apple Store but was referred by an automated system to this web site. I tried looking up the problem in the FAQ but it didn't help.

My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?

My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
Please help!

That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.
