ITunes stops working after launch.

I have iTunes installed on a PC running Windows 7. I have just installed the latest iTunes update. Now within 15 seconds of starting iTunes I receive an error message: "iTunes has stopped working" and the program closes. I have tried rebooting the PC, and re-downloading the software from Apple without success. any ideas?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

    After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

  • Itunes stops working on launch

    After reformatting computer, downloaded, Installed iTunes, and successfully went thru set-up process and everything appeared to be working correctly.  When I went to open again, it stopped working immediately on start up.  I am using recently purchased high-end Sony VAIO Laptop with Windows 8 Pro.  ITunes was previously installed and working fine, so I do not think it equipment or operating system related.  I’ve tried to repair, uninstall and reinstall several times with no change in result.  Below is a snapshot of the even log, immediately after stopped working failure.  I also have latest version of QuickTime and it appears to be working fine.  Can anyone help?

  • ITunes stopped working after 8.01 upgrade

    While running iTunes 8 on my xp pro box it asked to upgrade. I said yes. It did, but never appeared after upgrading. It is running in the task manager, but no application ever appears. Here's what I have tried:
    1. repair install - no luck
    2. remove install and re-install 8.0 - 8 says can't start due to library files being from a newer version.
    3. moved library files out of the 'my music' folder - 8 still wouldn't start.
    4. re-install 8.01 - no start
    5. re-installed newest QT - did see 'QT handler' wouldn't shut down errors when re-starting system - but this didn't get iTunes working.
    6. QT opens and works fine.
    7. deleted the data files in the 'all users' folders - still won't run.
    8. re-installed the VBasic scripter - no fix.
    9. started the smart card service - no fix
    Looks like MANY other having problems with 8.01. Any helpful ideas appreciated!

    I am having the same problem. My iTunes will not start. It started once or twice. I tried downloading it again and it gave me the option of repairing or rmoving so i chose repairing and it finished installing and started up. now it won't start again. I think it caused my iPod to lose the music in it.
    If i remove iTunes and reinstall it, will it lose my library on the computer?
    thanks

  • My iTunes stopped working after updating to iOS 7

    I am using an iPhone 4S and after updating to iOS 7, I couldn't open my iTunes app and could not update/download anything in my App Store anymore. I tried logging my Apple ID in and out, but once I've signed out, I couldn't sign back in. Now I can't activate my iMessage anymore. How can I fix this?
    I've tried restarting my phone countless times, but nothing works. There is nothing wrong with my wifi connection either.
    Thanks.

  • TS1424 A movie I bought (not rented) on Itunes stopped working after not watching it for over a year.  Now it just shows a black screen.

    A few years ago I bought GI Joe The Rise of Cobra on Itunes (not rented, bought).  Now, after not watching it for at least a year, when I try to play it all I get is a black screen.  How can I fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
