Itunes has stopped working Windows is checking for a solution ....

After I just upgrade my itunes and restart the computer I click on itunes and get a message itunes has stopped working Windows is checking for a solution to the problem….’ This is then followed by another message ‘a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.’
I try to open in "safe mode" and getting the same message.
I am trying to figure out what to do about my son's itouch he has lost it/stolen at school. Feeling worried and would like to be able to get in my itunes account now.

This is the simplest fix, if you're still having a problem with it. I had the same problem, am running Windows 8.1. Just be sure to reboot after you copy the dll (dynamic link library) file indicated.
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
Let me know if you have a problem.

HI i have tried so many times to import images, both pictures and video from my hard drive to elements 131, and it keeps coming up with the error message " .....has stopped working we are looking for a solution to this problem etc " please help!

After taking days to upload elements 13 I am now having trouble even trying to import my images and videos into the program for editing. Each time I IMPORT files an error message comes up that says " ....has stopped working, we are looking for a solution to the problem and will notify you if a solution is found" I have not been able to edit ANYTHING or even drag files/images to the time line.... is it me? is my computer too slow? surely if it was, then Adobe elements 13 would not have installed in the first place? please someone help me sort this out as I have a deadline to make for a docco! thanks in advance Lyddy

What is this : "Firefox has stopped working Window is chcking for a solution to the program"

I am Using Mozila 3.6.3 , I am so happy with this version. But Many times it show error
"Firefox has stopped working
Window is checking for a solution to the program"
and then it show
""Firefox 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."
| Close Program |"
How i solved out it

Your Firefox 3.6 is apparently crashing or hanging.
Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and is not secure, so you are increasing the risks to your computer and personal data. It is probably a good time to upgrade to Firefox 14 from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Do not use any option from Windows or firefox that offers to remove personal data (because that destroys bookmarks, passwords and settings). If you have problems once you install a recent version you may neeed to look at

Creative Cloud Illustrator & Photoshop 'has stopped working' - 'windows is checking for a solution..

Hello,
Up until recently, Photoshop & Illustrator stopped working. When I would open the program it would begin to load and then come up with the message ' Adobe Photoshop has stopped working'
After which there would be another message ' Windows is checking for solution to the problem'
and then finally ' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will lose the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
Indesign on startup seems to load normally and is fine.
Do help, time is of the essence.
Thank you,

Windows 7 - 'iTunes Has Stopped Working' Window Repeatedly Popping Up

Hi there, I've encountered a problem that I couldn't fix myself so I'm hoping someone can impart with some knowledge.
The dreaded 'iTunes has stopped working' window pops up constantly, and continues to reappear again and again. Even navigating to this forum, finding the right place to post and typing this very question is a pain as it has popped up about 7 times since I started typing it. If I leave my laptop alone for a few minutes, I come back and there's about 15 windows open saying the same thing. This is super annoying as I'm trying to get some work done, but any ounce of productivity I have is stifled by this. I am very close to headbutting the screen before I throw my laptop into oncoming traffic on the street below.
I've tried restarting the system, shutting it down and leaving it off for a bit, ending any iTunes-related processes in Task Manager but all have failed.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
HP Pavilion G6
4GB RAM
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Lightroom has stopped running windows is searching for a solution to the problem"

Lightroom stopped running on Vista 32 windows error message says "Lightroom has stopped running windows is searching for a solution to the problem"...Also some RAW images opened in CS2, Bridge or Lightroom have bands of different colors depending on the image and are unusable. At the same time Lightroom works fine on my laptop running Vista 32.

Are you looking at the images at 100% resolution? Banding can appear in other enlargements due to rounding errors.

Itunes "has stopped working" windows solution? HELP ME

this has beeng going on for about a week, one day i went to itunes and all of all sudden said itunes has stopped working. I have uninstalled itunes and quicktime, and reinstalled. I also searched the forums and did everything what everyone suggests. I located all the files removed them, did a virus check, spyware, adware. Installed itunes and then quick time separtely but still nothing. I just dont know what else to do. Do i have to whipe my whole hard drive and start from scratch. I dont care about my songs because they arent from itunes but just imported cds i just feel like somewhere there is a corrupt itunes file or what not. please someone help me, i dont like having my ipod work with windows media player?
HELP HELP

Ok, the person above had the right idea:
Basically you need to remove ALL traces of iTunes and quicktime before reinstalling. Since you have Vista, its a little bit of a pain in the butt.
1) Go to your control panel and open "Program and Files" or whatever it is
2) Uninstall iTunes but do not reboot the computer yet.
3) Uninstall Quicktime, and any other apple products (Software Update and Media Devices)
4) Reboot.
5) Open "My Computer" and then your main drive (typically C:), scroll down to "Program Files." Verify iTunes and Quicktime folders do not exist. If they still exist, delete them.
6) Go back to C: and highlight the "Windows" folder
7) Go to the folder "System 32", and delete the Quicktime information in there.
8) Next, go to "Windows/User" and highlight each individual user's AppDate folder. Delete any "Apple" folders (it should only be Quicktime and iTunes information).
9) Finally, go to your user "Music" and move all your music to another location. Delete the iTunes cache files, including artwork. Reboot. You do not "have" to reboot, but why not.
10) Reinstall iTunes and Quicktime.
Please note: If you have just installed Ace Mega Codecs, that may be causing a conflict. It may just be a coincidence that I installed this (twice) and iTunes went down (twice), but who knows.
I hope that fixed your problems!

Can you help?

I've also been getting the "itunes not working" message since yesterday when I try to import a cd or music files from a folder. After that message, itunes closes.
That's a different issue, das.
First you need to check your precise version number. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes", and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom.
If it says *iTunes 10.1.0.54* , we need to update you to version 10.1.0.56 .
If you have 10.1.0.54 installed, 10.1.0.56 probably won't appear for you in Apple Software Update. So you'll need to download the 10.1.0.56 installer from the Apple Website, as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

"Itunes has stopped working" Windows Vista

Hello, my itunes stopped working about a week ago, and I haven't had the time to research it until now.
     Itunes hasnt been able to start since then and I am just getting "Itunes has stopped working"
     I've tried reinstalling itunes and quicktime a few times but that hasn't worked either.
     I've also tried to delete any itunes and quicktime files that i can but I am not too good with that either..
     I am assuming there is something more to it that I can't figure out so I decided to try here.

Itunes has stopped working windows 7 QUICK FIX

I really don't know if this will help all issues, but it sure did the trick for mine. After reading multiple workarounds and fixes for this problem (itunes crashing upon trying to play video with the message 'itunes has stopped working' - same issue with quicktime), I thought to myself, "there's GOT to be an easier way." And, in my case, there was. I went to the control panel, selected the uninstall a program feature, but instead of uninstalling, i selected itunes and clicked the 'repair' button. I did the same for quicktime. And now, both work as they should. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Hope it helps. And if it doesn't, don't blame me. I'm not an expert - just a guy trying to share a possible quick fix to your problem. GOOD LUCK!

Still having this issue
