ITunes keeps crashing in Windows 8.1

Hi Guys,
I'm currently having major problems with my 1st Generation iPod Touch.
The problem I'm having is that I've done a restore on my iPod and it's put everything back on but to finalise the restore and verify it, iTunes recgonises my iPod Touch like normal and then it loads the iTunes store and then it crashes and says "iTunes has stopped working" and "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I am running Windows 8.1.
I have managed to keep my iPod connected and quickly run a diagnostics report before it crashes and I have that available if needed. I have tried various solutions I have found across the net and topics found on here to but to no avail. I'm just worried that I basically have an iPod that can't do anything or there is something wrong with iTunes. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times but to no success either. I can't use the iPod at all and just displays the connect iPod to computer and iTunes images on the iPod whenever I connect it.
Please help as I really want to remedy this as soon as possible as I use my iPod everyday and I can't imagine life without it and this has reduced me to tears trying to fix it.

I've already tried those solutions but (knock on wood) I've installed an older version of iTunes, updated that to the latest and that has seem to still recgonise my iPod and allowed it to sync and restore from my backup and now it seems to be working fine for now any problems I shall let you know.

I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

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.

HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts. It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops. Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes. I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished. Any suggestions??

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas?

My iTunes keeps crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it. I recently upgraded to 10.5. Any ideas? I am running Windows 7 on a new, decent, laptop. The music is on the laptop's hard drive. There is plenty of hard drive space left.
iTunes starts fine, and I can do stuff, then within a minute or two or three it gives me an error message pop-up.

The error message says:

I've chosen both items, neither does anything but close the program. This problem is new with iTunes 10.5; I did not have it before.

ITunes keeps crashing on my Dell PC.

iTunes keeps crashing on my Dell PC with Windows Vista. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled- didn't help. iTunes will open, but then crashes after about two or three minutes, no matter what I'm doing with it at the time. Any ideas?
Could a lack of available hard drive space be contributing? I was about to move my iTunes library to an external hard drive, but was hoping to resolve this issue first.
Thanks!

Hello there, focus48.
First place to start is to isolate the issue. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to try:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the issue persists, then isolating further by testing in another user account is in order:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.

Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver.
Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

Itunes keeps crashing after i updated to 6.0.4

hi,
i have been having trouble in my imac g5 1.8 ghz.
my itunes keeps crashing and i cant close it, i cant even "force quit" on it.
its really hard to eject my ipod, and sometimes the music plays, but there is no sound.
is there any known fix?
thanx

Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem. What's the deal
here. How about a patch or something from apple.
The whole reason I use a mac is it never crashes on
me. If it's going to crash I might as well go back
to a pc (Ok sorry, nothing can make me go back to a
pc
Whew! Thank you for that last thought....
Anyway, what I ended up doing was trashing everything iTunes including the iTunes X package & prefs (I used Spotlight to find everything), and then reinstalling a new copy of iTunes. First I backed up my iTunes music folder containing the music and data base (your file>Music>iTunes). Then I put my iTunes music folder back where it was and I didn't lose a thing.
However, don't trash everything that shows up in a Spotlight search of iTunes--only the package and all prefs associated with iTunes and, of course, back up your music folder first or you will lose all your iTunes music, books, videos, etc.
Since no one seems to be able to figure out why only a few of us are having this crashing problem with iTunes, it's just not being addressed. They tell us to "post" our crash logs, but not how. You can't upload files to this forum, and the crash log is too voluminous to cut and paste here.
My idea worked for me, but it's dangerous. If you're not sure what to trash, email me for a list. Spotlight will show you where each item is when you click on the little "i" in the circle when you tell Spotlight to "Show All."
Oh, and Apple does not do patches.

Hi,
I would like to know whether organiser or editor crashes ?
If its organiser then there is something related to Catalog.
Try these steps :
1. Goto this location : C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\ -- (program data is hidden folder by default , you will need to unhide it)
2. Under this location you will find all the catalogs that were created by you
3. Choose your default catalog.
4. In that select and delete all the folders except Breezedata and file with extension .pse8db
5. Relauch your organiser and then check if its stil crashing.
Thanks,

Itunes keep crashing on sync with ipad

itunes keeps crashing on sync with ipad. Eveyrthing was good up until the 5th of june. any ideas

If you have tried 1, 2 & 3 below, next thing I'd try is call Apple support at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
Or you can take it to an Apple store to see an expert.
1) Deinstall and reinstall itunes on the computer.
2) On the ipad, Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
3) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
