All I do is download the x64 bit version of itunes, turn off the AV, install using administrator rights, and reboot.  The application installs fine and it opens up however when I go to use the application it loads about 90% of the itunes store and then throws a windows error box stating the application has stopped responding.

Answer 1

I have the same issue with Windows 8. I have a brand new computer. All my music was carried over to my new computer from my old computer using the icloud. However, I cannot sync my ipod nano 7 to the new computer. Same thing happens. It says it is synching but nothing happens. I have found that it will allow me to sync my purchased songs but not the rest of the content. I am beyond annoyed. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it and even tried resetting my ipod nano to factory settings. Any advice????
