ITunes shuts down when I try to purchase songs

When I click "buy album" it connects to the store, and then iTunes shuts down. It also shuts down when I try to "check for purchases." I am running the newest version of iTunes. It also did this with my previous version.
Real Player also shuts down, when I download videos.
I have re-installed both iTunes and real player around 5 times. So that will not help.

In addition to the other requested information, when was the last time ... or perhaps this will be the first time, to run Preferential Treatment to ensure your preference files aren't corrupt?

  • Itunes shuts down when I try to select apps tab for Iphone 5

    Iphone 5
    IOS7.2
    Itunes 11.1
    When I try to manage my apps in itunes, itunes shuts down as soon as I click the apps tab.  Everything else syncs just fine. What's the fix?

    This is really silly but here is the soultion:
    You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.
    If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.  If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.

  • Itunes shuts down when I try to sync videos

    I have successfully synced videos in the past.  Recently, Itunes shuts down every time it trys to synch the videos.

    Are you trying to sync them from the photos tab?
    If so, try importing the videos into itunes and then syncing them from the movies tab.
    You'll also want to uncheck 'Sync Videos' in the photos tab.

  • ITunes shuts down when I click on a song

    When I click my iTunes library after my iPod backs up it freezes and shuts down. I manually sync my songs by dragging them across to my iPod but tonight it keeps wanting to verify my iPod, then backs it up. And then when I click on a song to drag it over it just freezes and shuts down. What do I do?!

    It also shuts down automatically without the iPod connected so it's just an iTunes problem that whenever I click on a song it will freeze and terminate

  • Why does iTunes shut down when i try to access the store?

    My iTunes has worked fine for many years but recently it started shutting down as soon as i clicked the Store, Match or Ping link.

    Just deleting and reinstalling the software won't delete your music. Your music is stored on your computer. But, you should backup your iTunes purchases on a timely basis regardless.

  • I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

    I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes.  I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down.  The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again.  If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

    I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

    There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

  • ITunes shuts down when I try to play video

    Every time I try to open a TV show or movie on my iTunes, a window pops up that says "iTunes has stopped working."
    And then it shuts down. Anyone have any crafty solutions for me? Is it my fault? Did I anger the gremlins, or do I just need to download something?

    Correction: Movies play just fine. Apparently it's only the tv shows that kill my iTunes. Any help is much appreciated.

    Okay. let's first try uninstalling and reinstalling your QuickTime. We'll also take a few other explicit precautions, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet. get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel and uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Go back into your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Right-click on the "QuickTimeVR" file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Empty your recycle bin.
    *Reinstall phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.
    Does the QuickTime reinstall seem to go through smoothly? If so, try launching iTunes again and trying to play one of the affected videos. Do you still get the same iTunes error, or are the files playing properly now?
