"iTunes has stopped working" - i need help! urgently :(

Hi, I am having a major problem with my iTunes program. Until about a week ago iTunes was working fine on my Vista Home Premium. One morning this week I got up and tried to turn it on and suddenly a box would pop up after about 10-20 secs after connecting my ipod touch to the computer saying "iTunes has stopped Working" Then another box would pop up saying that when a solution becomes available, it will notify me or something to that effect. Since then I have tried everything I possible could think of like reinstalling itunes and changing my msconfig settings. I have been on countless forums as well looking for someone who has my exact same problem and the solutions presented their are not working for my situation. If anyone could help me get iTunes back working on my system, that would be great. Thanks

I have exactly the same problem, please, if anyone can help, solution is well received.
Thanks.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

    Well this happend last night. i had just gotten a bunch of songs and i was putting them on itunes, everything was fine. i always need to create an ACC version of everything as my music is saved on to an external hard drive (if thats not plugged in iTunes cant find the music, therefor cant play my music.) and then a pop up messege from windows said "iTunes has stopped working" and it didnt give me any other choice but to close the program. i tried a few more times before looseing my paticence and gave up and turned of the laptop. then today i found an album i wanted to put on, i put in the disk worked fine i could listen to the music clicked import CD then came up with the annoying messege again

    First we need to check your precise version number, Katy. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes", and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    If it says *iTunes 10.1.0.54,* we need to update you to iTunes 10.1.0.56. The 10.1.0.56 version may not show up for you in Apple Software update, so you'll probably need to get the 10.1.0.56 installer from the Apple Website, as per the following document:

  • I just received a refurbished replacement iphone and now while syncing I get "itunes has stopped working"...help???

    I just received a refurbished iphone the the insurance provided by a major electronics retailer.  Since i have tried to sync it to iTunes I have received "iTunes has stopped working" error.  It says it will come back with possible solutions, but never does a thing.  I have already removed and again installed iTunes, QuickTime, etc. to no success.  Not sure what my next step should be.

    This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
    The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
    Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
    Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

  • I am getting itunes has stopped working, can anyone help

    I am getting "itunes has stopped working"

    This Apple article will help you isolate the problem a little -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History. To view this go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Action Center > View Reliability History under Maintenance. Double click the iTunes critical event and copy it into your reply.

  • ITunes has stopped working on Vista, help!!

    Earlier today, my iTunes was working fine. But then a friend of mine wanted me to download software that included a program called "Quicktime Alternative." I was skeptical but decided to try it our anyways. After the installation of a few things, my iTunes, along with my Quicktime, has stopped working. These are the errors I get when I try to open iTunes (Quicktime has the same error except anywhere it says iTunes, it says Quicktime)

    [IMG]http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/Longhornfreak94/iTunes_Fail2.jpg[/IMG]
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling a few times, with no luck. I uninstalled all the files that I had previously installed at the recommendation of my friend. Still nothing. Any ideas?
    Can anyone help? All help is greatly appreciated!

    Those QuickTime alternatives will frequently break itunes, because iTunes depends on a good QuickTime installation. itunes uses hte Qt audio & video codecs.
    See if you can download and install this QuickTime standalone. That should get iTunes working again. Make sure to get the version withOUT itunes.

  • "Itune has stopped working" error message HELP!

    I tried to open up the itune program, double clicks, no response and an error message pops up saying "Itunes stopped working" and then it sends an error report to Microsoft. What do i do? I tried re-installing. SafeMode start. deleted files that were maybe corrupted, as stated in Apple support forums.

    Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
    Otherwise, 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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Color selection tool has stopped working [was: need help with indesign cs6]

    I am working in InDesign cs6 and my color selection tool stopped working.

    Do I reply here? I have been creating a newspaper in InDesign cs6 and the color selection box won't work any longer.  It used to work just fine, but now it won't let me access it.
    Someone in tech support last night before they went away, was directing me to: Go to Folder from my desktop, and then to Preferences, then to ~/Library/, then to InDesign version 8.0 and en US.  Then we lost contact and I didn't know what to do next, so I still have the problem.

    JaMMyJaM, you have the simplest solution and least "dangerous."
    My iTunes wasn't crashing or stopping... it was just really SLOW to open.  Like as in 60-120 seconds slow.  I dug around looking for a large file and found the Cache.db file was bloated to 96MB.  No idea why or how.  Rather than delete (and risk who knows what), I just renamed it to *.OLD and itunes came up in 19 seconds.  Not great, but better.  And so far, the program has not created a new cache.db.
    I had previously uninstalled Bonjour and thought that had helped, but then I was back to 60 sec+ next day.  Mysterious!
    For the record: Win7 Pro, x64, 40GB or more music files, sync with iPhone and iPad.

  • ITunes has stopped working. Please Help Me!!

    I'm having a huge problem, and I have tried everything I know to fix it. My iTunes was working fine up until a few days ago. I upgraded to the newest version..and when i went to add some files to my ipod a few days later this happened:
    iTunes will load up fine. I will go to add some files to my library, and it will not add them. I will try and transfer files to my ipod that are already in my library, and it will not transfer them. So i thought maybe there was a bug in the newest version..or that maybe it didnt install correctly. So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. Same problem. So I uninstalled it, and reinstalled an older version (6.0.1). Same problems. So I uninstalled that version. Tried doing a system restore, and then installing it again. Still the same problem. After that uninstall, I installed version 4.0.something. And it would let me add stuff to the library, etc. But when i went to transfer the stuff to my ipod, it said that my ipod update version was highewr than 6.0 and that it couldnt transfer the songs. So I figured that maybe since this version was working, that maybe all those other attempts were bad installs or something. So i checked for the updates,a nd updated it back up to 7.0.1, and here I sit with the same problem again.
    I cannot figure out what to do.
    Someone please help me!!!

    i forgot to add that itunes recognizes my ipod when it is connected..and also when itunes is first opened i can select a folder and add it to the library, and it will. but when i select another one to add. it will not add anything after that.
    when i click on the x to close it out..or choose file/exit..it will not do anything. but it never says "not responding" or gives me any type of error message. i have to force it to close out.
