Itunes has stopped working - quicktime will not open missing rundll32.exe

I have a Gateway computer with windows vista. When I try to open itunes I get the message that itunes has stopped working and windows will close. When I try to open quicktime in the control panel I get the message the windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I can not uninstall quicktime. I have downloaded and installed itunes and quicktime many times but this does not help. Please someone help me. I am at wits end. How do other people have itunes working with windows vista?

Hey MrsBeth, it looks like your PC is on a network or something. I am uncomfortable giving advice since I don't know what's going on there.
What I am comfortable with is these directions below. Give yourself full control and ownership the the entire C: drive and all its subfolders. And temporarily turn off UAC for good measure - you can turn it back on after you've installed iTunes.
Let's cross our fingers that the install goes through!

  • Itunes has stopped working and will not open

    itunes stopped working for unknown reason and would not open. after several tries I used system restore taking it back to an earlier date.  when that failed to work, I uninstalled and downloaded new version, several times. still would not open and I am pretty sure I lost my library which is frustrating because I use it for work. completely confused about what to do next. I am running windows 7.

    Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:

    IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

    Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

  • PSE 12 has stopped working and will not open.

    PSE 12 suddenly stopped working while editing.  I tried restarting the Organizer which opens but does not finish loading after a few seconds, and gives an error message ... "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I've received no notifications.  Any suggestions?  Do I download another copy?  How do I locate and retain my Catalog which is really important?  Thanks in advance.

  • Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

    Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

    Hey dbwithers,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

  • TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
    Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

  • Just downloaded itunes. but i cant even open it, it just says,"itunes has stopped working, program will close.."

    This is a brand new laptop that I just bought two days ago. I was hoping to have itunes on my own computer finally, so I could sort out my horrible music situation. The installation went perfect. But when I try to open it, before I even get a chance to do anything, a little screen pops up and says,"itunes has stopped working.." then it will change, and become "a problem has caused the program to stop. program will shut down." so what should I do ? I don't even get the chance to plug in my ipod.

  • Itunes has stopped working when trying to open store

    I have gone through the uninstall/reinstall many times. Redid host file. Flush dns. Have tried many things. I noticed on one conversation on here. To go to the Action Center and click on itunes. It is saying a fault in the webkit.dll. I have no clue what that means or what I need to do to fix the problem.
    I did notice that when I uninstalled the last time that when I reinstalled I no longer had Quicktime. So installed that, but still no luck
    I have Norton 360 and Windows 7 64 on my laptop. We also have a desktop with the same, but the desktop is able to open the store. I am a tad confused on why mine is not. I can open itunes see the library then when I hit the itunes store it sits for awhile then it comes up with itunes has stopped working. Please if someone could help.

    It shows in my downloads, starts downloading, and when it gets to the end of a song, I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and choices to close or debug, etc.
    Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent) and open your Problem History. Look for iTunes Problems reports that seemed to occur at the time that you had the Store troubles.
    Open the reports and have a look through them. Do they all seem to say the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here. (Fingers crossed, that may give us a heads up on the cause of the errors.)

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on opening iTunes.  How do I get passed this

    Every time I open iTunes I get the error message "iTunes has stopped working" and all I can do is close the program.  I have uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it but I get the same error.  I am working on windows 8.  Can anybody please help me to solve this problem.

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Error message "Itunes has stopped working" and closes when opening itunes store

    I had problems with the latest itunes freezing up that i installed itunes 10.53 and it works fine now except when i go to the itunes store,itunes stops working and the whole program closes.I checked the diagnosics and everything comes up green lights.What could be the problem?

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • TS1362 My iTunes has stopped playing - it will not progress. I have updated iTunes, and can't figure out how to find any plug-ins - can't figure out how to find hidden files on the iMac Finder.

    How do I find hidden files on my iMac? My iTunes has stopped playing music and videos - the playbar does not progress, and it may be that there is a plug-in that is stopping it. How do I fix it?

    Well, it sort of solved my problem. Now every time I start a lecture with sound, there is no sound, but the slides advance. If I go back to iTunes and turn on a cd, it plays the sound. If I then go back to the lecture, the sound goes on. So each time I start a slide show with sound, I have to turn on iTunes. How can I fix this?

  • ITunes has stopped working/Quicktime uninstall HKEY error!!

    Ok so I just bought a brand new computer that is Windows Vista 64-bit. I installed iTunes and Quicktime the 64 bit version and everything was great until it stopped working. Data execution prevention will not let iTunes open. Here are the steps Ive taken in attempt to fix the problem.
    *Uninstalling Itunes AND Quicktime*
    --iTunes was successful but Quicktime still left a folder in Program Files, and was still listed on the programs list in control panel. So I deleted the Program Files folder. Now when I try to uninstall Quicktime I get this error:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE32\software\classes\typelib\{B11F8D0B-BE5A-46E3-9485-EE692A8B2D3D}\1.0. Verify That you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    I tried going into regedit and manually deleting the key. That didnt work!
    I also used the free ware program Revo Unistaller, which deletes the associated registry files and everything associated with an install. I did this with Quicktime and now it no longer in the Programs section in control panel, but when I try to reinstall quicktime it still asks me to repair or remove. I've tried both steps and each time I get the same error as stated above.
    What can I do to fix this?

  • Cannot connect ipod to PC- uddenly has stopped working.PC will not recognis

    I have an ipod classic 30gb. I have previously had no problems connecting to my PC and synching with itunes. All of a sudden, my PC has stopped recognising my ipod when i connect using the firewire USB cable. Itunes still recognises my husbands ipod no problem. my laptop recognises my ipod no problem also. Please help!

    I had the same problem with my 80G. Turned out to be a Windows problem, not an iPod problem. Search a solution at Windows website. Its something to do with registries starting with $ sign. I had to remove all those registries and the the iPod worked fine. You may try RegCure software to cure registry problems.
