ITunes spontaneously closes - no error message (related to podcast)

When using podcast>>settings>>check for new episodes>>"anything but manually"
Then, when podcasts start to update, iTunes spontaneously closes and there are no error messages.
I have temporarily set check for new episodes to "manually." So far this is working.
But I was curious whether this problem has been identified or solved?

ITunes spontaneously closes - no error message

I've just started having recent - but consistent - problems on my WinXP system. iTunes runs, and can see my iPod Touch. I want to add video files to it. So I select File > Add Folder to Library. I navigate to the folder containing my videos. I click OK, and iTunes closes. No error message; it just closes.
I try a similar procedure with File > Add File to Library, and the same thing happens. As soon as I specify the file, iTunes closes, with no error message.
Here's a list of what I've tried so far:
1) Rebooted system
2) Reviewed the Event Manager logs (eventvwr.msc) - no crash was listed
3) Repaired iTunes installation
4) Uninstalled QuickTime and iTunes, reinstalled
5) Deleted:
C:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
... and ran iTunes.
No luck so far, and as far as I know, there is no other way for me to get files from my computer to my iPod. Can anyone suggest other solutions?
Many, many thanks.

Ok... I called Apple Support. and they were more helpful than I expected. There are several things I don't like about Apple, but let it go on the record that their customer support was excellent.
The gentleman to whom I spoke (Case# 132295246) suggested that I try accessing my OS using an alternate user. My single-user system didn't have any other users, so I quickly created one (Control Panel > User Accounts). Once I was logged in as the new user, not only did the QuickTime player load, but iTunes worked perfectly.
On the tech's suggestion, I agreed to compare the service lists between the two accounts (I didn't make him stay on the phone for this). Unfortunately, they were identical. So I turned my attention to the system tray (in the bottom right-hand corner), and noticed the ATI Tray Tools icon. I exited the app, and suddenly everything worked.
Ok, we have an easy workaround, but we can do better. Any technically-oriented PC user with an ATI card isn't going to want to give up ATI Tray Tools - it's a wonderful piece of software. Fortunately, the program allows one to define exclusions that can be applied to ANY file that conflicts.
So for Apple's benefit, I hope this gets added to the knowledge base:
Problem:
iTunes spontaneously closes during use, no error message.
Diagnosis measure:
The problem is resolved when logging into WinXP as a newly-created user.
The user has an ATI Video Card
The user is running ATI Tray Tools
Resolution 1:
Close the ATI Tray Tools application before running iTunes.
======================
Resolution 2:
Add iTunes to the ATI Tray Tools exclusion list:
1) While ATI Tray Tools is running, right-click the ATI Tray Tools icon in the system tray.
2) Select Hardware
3) Select Auto-Overclocking
4) Click the Exclude tab
5) Add the following programs to the list:
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
6) Click OK
=====================
Additional note: If you have any other programs that will not run (no error messages), locate the executable, and add it to the exclusion list. I was able to solve my Java problems by adding the necessary executables from the C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin folder.

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

When trying to open ITunes, I got an error message of msvcr80.dll can not be found.
Assuming that it was an iTunes file, I reinstalled iTunes.
Trying to open again, I got an error message of an appication is trying to open a library file incorrectly.
How do I resolve this problem.
Neither my PC with Vista nor my my laptop with windows 7 will work?

Hello Msvcr80.dll,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

Keep getting the error message "cannot connect to iTunes..." error message (-3212)??, keep getting the error message "cannot connect to iTunes..." error message (-3212)??

I keep trying to upgrade my iPad using iTunes..The error message "cannot attach to iTunes store...error message (-3212). Suggestions?

I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hey jeight26,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

ITunes/QuickTime "Bad Image" Error Message

Running Windows 2000 Professional on a PC. iTunes and QuickTime are loaded and had been running successfully for a long time. Suddenly, every time I try to open iTunes a box pops up titled "iTunes.exe - Bad Image," and in the box is the error message "The application or DLL C:\ProgramFiles\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." (There is no installation diskette.) I believe the first time this occurred was just after I had been prompted to download an update to QuickTime, which I did. I cannot close the error message box, neither by clicking on "OK" nor by clicking on the "X". The only way I can get rid of it is to restart the computer. Also, I cannot open iTunes. Any suggestions?

hi Sandy!
With regard to the prompt to upgrade QuickTime, I could be wrong about that, but I am almost sure that I got one of those standard "A New Version of ...... is available. Would you like to download it now?"
Okay ... sorry about that. i might well be wrong about it being unusual. i think i downloaded my 7.1 before i ever actually ran QuickTime on its own. (i was troubleshooting an itunes video sound problem i was having.) the rest of the time, i tend to get my new QTs when a new version of itunes shows up. so i guess i always upgrade before QT ever says to me that there's a new version available.
anyhoo, if you've got a standard QT 7.1 in there, we should start by doing a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

I tried to install the new iTunes & I get an error message

I tried to install the new iTunes & i got an error message & i have already deleted all apple related things & reinstalled them. Now a message that says something about verify my apple mobile device keeps coming up & i have no idea how to fix this problem.

... not likely to be a LSP thing, then.
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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:
http://www.rarlab.com/
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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I can't no longer access Itunes. Keep getting error message 127. I tried uninstalling Itunes, but can't. So frustrated. Please help.

First, if you've moved the iPhoto library to an external drive, make sure that drive is mounted by opening it in the Finder.
The issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
Show Package Contents
from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.
