Itunes need to close message

When I connect my Ipod and after itunes opens up about a minute later i get the message that says, itunes needs to close sorry for the inconvience. Can any suggest what i need to do to fix this.
Thanks

do you also get that message if you try to launch itunes prior to plugging in?
or does it only happen while you're transferring material to the PC?
if the latter, what kind of things does it happen with? music, videos, podcasts or something else?

Hi johnbpl,
It sounds as if you are having difficulty connecting to the App Store to check for updates for applications on your iPad. If that is the case, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Start with the section Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch then if needed the section Learn more.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on xp

is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on windows XP

I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly?

"itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message appears

Every time I try to open itunes a Windows message comes up saying "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I tried uninstalling and downloading it again, but nothing is working. What do I do??

Does your quicktime work perfectly? I got that message when I tried to open iTunes 5 a couple times, and my quicktime wasn't being sensed by the computer at all. It was just there.

ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close message

I started getting this message after downloading a free video I got through Starbucks. At this same time I purchased a video and downloaded it. At first I just couldn't manually drag the video into my iPod and then whenever I tried to play any video, even one I could previously play, I would get the error message iTunes has encountered a problemand needs to close. I tried to fix the proble myself so I uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes; then I restored my iPod. Now, I cannot sync my iPod. Whenever I plug my iPod into my computer to sync it it closes with the same error message. And, I still cannot play any of the videos in iTunes. I have not seen this problem addressed so if you can help me I would appreciate it a lot!!!! Thanks!

I ended up calling tech support after failing to fix this problem myself. I deleted iTunes and iPod from my computer. I reinstalled both. I reset my iPod and I restored it. Nothing worked. Tech support suggested I delete QuickTime and reinstall it. That worked like a charm. I can now sync my iPod again and ALL my videos play on it.

Still with Error itunes needs to close

I don't get it. I've installed uninstalled done all sorts of things and the fact is. I need itunes to work! Now my problem is that supposedly a new version of quicktime is installed yet I can't see it or delete it. I don't konw how it would help but I want redownload it.
Other than that, any help with getting my itunes to open would be appreciated.

+"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."+
let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

ITunes needs to close - Sync Outlook contacts or calendar

I installed iTunes 7 after purchasing iPod. Everything works ok but if I select to sync contacts or calendar using Outlook (Outlook2003SP2) a error message appears: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" - Error signature:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.70 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 35f7ddc9
After closing iTunes I restart it again and some seconds later the same error message appears. I have to deselect the "sync" option and everything returns ok but I could not have my contacts or calendar on iPod.
I saw a FAQ page explaining how can I export the contacts or appointments (as files) but I would like to know why this "sync" option doesn't work before do this "workaroud".
Any ideas that could help me solving this problem?
Thank you in advance!

This is the best remedy on the web for getting MANY contacts to sync from Outlook to your iPod.
First of all, you need to open iTunes and connect your iPod to make sure that you have enabled your iPod as a storage device. TO do this just look for your iPod in the DEVICES and select it. Summary Tab  Check the box, “Enable disk use.” Then make sure you click, “Apply” in the lower right corner.
In Outlook, go to Contacts and select all the items you want. You can use shift-click and control-click to choose multiple items. Choose Actions > Forward as vCard. This creates a new e-mail message with all the Contacts you selected converted to vCard format. Address and send the e-mail to a trusted friend - like yourself. Although all the vCards are right there for the taking, there's apparently no way to access them all at once except as a received e-mail. Collect your e-mail in Outlook. When you look at the received message, you should see all the vCards as attachments. Select the message that you sent with all the vCards. Choose File > Save Attachments > All Attachments. Note: if you use an e-mail program other than Outlook to collect your mail, it might not have the Save All Attachments feature. In the Save All Attachments dialog that appears, click OK. Next, you'll see a Save All Attachments file list. Navigate to your iPod's contacts folder. (Do NOT go to the folder called “iPod” in your program files. You need to find the name of your iPod in the various drives you have in your computer.) I didn’t name the folder. I just clicked OK and everything worked perfectly. You're done - the contacts have been shipped off to your iPod. Then I performed a sync and now I have every contact listed perfectly.
I modified the directions from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mizd2969/is_200408/ain7183943
These are the best directions on the web because they avoid the individual vCard sync process.

Getting "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem an needs to close" message

I have an HP Photosmart B210e, product number CN219A. I am running Windows XP 32 bit and I am using a wireless connection to print. The problem is occuring on an HP Compaq 8510p laptop.
I have been using the printer for several months and it has worked great but about a week ago, I started getting an error message. The first time I try to use the printer after turning on the computer I get a message saying "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". I am unable to print from that point forward. Documents that I attempt to print just sit in the qeue. However, if I shut the computer down and restart it, the print jobs will print on their own as soon as the computer boots up. But then if I try to print another document I get the same error message and am unable to print. Once I get the error message I am unable to use the HP software to check ink levels or communicate with the printer in any way.
I have attempted reinstalling the driver and software 2 times without any success. I have run the HP print diagnostic utility and it tells me that "everything checks out okay with your printer" and asks me if I want to print a test page. I try to print the test page and it is unable to print it.
I have the printer installed on another computer running windows 7 and it still works great.
Please let me know how I can fix this problem
I am unaware of any changes made to my computer other than the automatic windows and Mcafee updates.

I have exactly the same problems. If you com up with an answer before I do please reply here. I'll do the same.

ITunes needs to close when I sync.

So after needing to format my iPod twice in two days, once after resyncing everything back on to it, now the ridiculous program is closing every time that I try to sync it.
No music is appearing on my iPod, and it has been like this for the past two days.
I would rather that this does not happen, so please help.

I have already completely deleted my registry of all iTunes related things, uninstalled and reinstalled and the issue persists.
