ITunes needs to be closed error

Ok i've been getting this error for the past few months. and i've trolled this forums continously and rigourously for a soltuion and i have yet to find one. So i'm gonna post some of my error info in hopes that someone can recognize and help.
Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000 Address: 0x0000000000000000
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.2.0.34 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000
Any help would be greatly appreciated

can you check your precise itunes version number for me, Danielle? go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. for example, mine says "itunes 6.0.5.20".
by any chance do you have a 5.0.1.4?
if so, try upgrading to a 6.0.5.20. that seems to have been working for most folks with the 5.0.1.4 version of the "search crash".

  • Itunes encountered a error and needs to be closed

    hi plz can anyone help me ,
    when ever i try syncronise i phone4 with itunes its gives error:-
    itunes encountered a error and needs to be closed.
    when i see error Signature it says:-
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.2.1.1 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000004
    plz help

    Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
    Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

  • Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

    iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

    A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.
    here's the link:

  • Itunes causes a "itunes has encountered a serious error and needs to close"

  • I installed Itunes on my Vista, but error reads that there was no Apple Application Support installed and Itunes needs this in order to run

    I need to back up my iphone 5s on my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. After installing the proper iTunes that would run on Vista, I get an error as follows;
    "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)"
    I will appreciate any help. Thanks

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes encountered problem and needs to be closed

    i keep trying to open itunes, but before it even opens, it says theres a problem and needs to be closed. is there anyway i can fix this?

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, make sure that any antivirus/antispyware application you have is set to allow iTunes to operate. Some antivirus/antispyware has been known to shut down iTunes.
    If that still doesn't help, take a look at iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch failures
    If that still doesn't work, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't install itunes.  I get an error code 2894 with a message stating that the installer has encountered an unexpected error.  Anyone know what I need to do?

    I can't install itunes.  I get an error code 2894 & a message that states the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? 

    Are you able to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime?
    You might have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which would allow you to remove some applications that you can't from Control Panel.
    Also, take a look at this Apple document -> Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.

    What do I need to re-install to get my itunes back?

    i keep getting the message "error signature" and iTunes needs to close. please help.

    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.

  • 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?)

  • Office 365 Error: We're sorry, but (program name) has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. (Program name) will need to be closed as a result.

    Today we had this error code on starting Office programs out of the blue. We've had this error in the past and we know what caused it, but that action wasn't taken. I've already read other posts, but no "Answer" provides a real solution to a clear
    problem with Office 365.
    The error: "We're sorry, but (program name) has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. (Program name) will need to be closed as a result."
    It offers "Repair Now", then the two following options: "Online" or "Offline". Neither are effective.
    In the past we used the Office 365 Fix It tool, but uninstalling and reinstalling Office on a regular basis is unacceptable. Resorting to web apps is also not going to happen.
    Running Win 7 Pro 64 bit, fully updated.
    We're starting to get fed up with this broken software. Paying monthly for programs that don't work is ridiculous. Any real answers would be greatly appreciated!

    Locate your Office application and check the setting of Compatibility.
    For example,
    Right click on Excel (.exe) > Properties > Compatibility > uncheck all the boxes, click Ok and check if it helps.
    To access Excel (.exe), open the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Excel.exe
    Or
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\Excel.exe
    Try to open Excel and check if it opens.
