ITunes stops working when accessing iTunes store

The latest tunes 11.1, when you access the iTunes Store, iTunes stops working and wants to shut down.

Ever since I got a new laptop with Win8 (5 months ago) I have been unable to access the iTunes Store.  I've searched for answers and nothing has worked.  Gave up for several months since Apple told me I'd have to pay their support team to fix the issue.  Today I found this thread, applied the fix found by "DonInDassel" and so far I'm accessing the store with no issue.  I copied & pasted the file into the new location so it stayed in both locations, just in case.  iTunes store is still running after 30 minutes and I've been randomly clicking all over the place just to test it!!!!  Why can't Apple figure this stuff out?  LOL!  I hope y'all have the same success!

  • ITunes stops working when connecting to store. Solutions?

    When attempting to conect to iTunes store a message appears "iTunes has stopped working" and it shuts down.  I have updated and re-installed latest version and still I can't connect.  All else within iTunes seems to work fine. I have Windows8.
    I see many others have had similar issues but I haven't seen any solutions.
    Anyone have any idea's?

  • Itunes stops working when copying apps during Sync

    Hi I am using Itunes 12.01.26 on a Windows 7 PC
    My library is saved on a nas server and the network drive is mapped.
    I have an ipod 5 and Iphone 5s
    Up until october this configuration has works a treat however since about October I have had difficulting in Syncing.
    I cannot sync my music  - everything i try fails so as a last resort i have tried to restore my devices.
    Itunes stops working when it gets to the stage of copying the apps.
    I have read a suggested solution to move the library to the local C drive but this does not seem to be reasonable solution particularly as my library is large.

    Same problem here with Win 7 64 bit & iphone 4.  It all started a few weeks ago with itunes upgrade 10.4.8.   After about 20 hours wasted time, uninstalling and re-insstalling all Apple products in the suggested order as suggested on another forum.  Still had the same problem.  Will sync fine until I check the "videos" tic box.  Itunes stops working in the step of "optimizing photos" (????).  If I go back and uncheck "videos" tic box, iphone4 will sync just fine.  BUT now all my videos previously on my iphone are on the PC.  I would like them back on my phone! 
    I gave up and went to the Apple Store to visit with a Genius.  Took my PC and everything with me.  It was not from lack of trying, she did all the same stuff I did and checked everything over.  Could not fix it.  She said it appeared everything on my PC was set corrrectly and the problem was probably with itunes.  Said she always waits a little while when updates come out to make sure there are not bugs before putting them on her stuff.  Lesson learned.
    I hope with Steve Jobs gone, this is not the future of Apple

  • Itunes stops working when I try to upload CD

    Itunes stops working when I go to type in info on audio cd file prior to download

    Ah... interesting. I do have errors in the event log for the Bonjour service for all of the times that I have tried to connect (8 for every time I try to connect). They are on the Vista machine and it says : XXX: ERROR: read_msg errno 10054 (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)
    The XXX is different number for each of the 8 and includes: 488, 480,476, 472, 468, 464, 460, and 452.
    It also has an application error for itunes:
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 9.2.1.5, time stamp 0x4c47745b, faulting module iTunes.dll, version 9.2.1.5, time stamp 0x4c477437, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0040efa0, process id 0x12b0, application start time 0x01cb2f69002ea6c0.
    So I tried to restart and start Bonjour and that didn't help. I have rebooted and that didn't help either.

  • When i sync my phone itunes stops working when optimizing my photos.  why

    when i plug in my phone to my computor to sync, itunes stops working when it gets to step 5 optimizing my photos .  why?

    Did you try to delete teh photo chache? Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
    Is there enough free space left on the phone? iTunes needs up to 4x the space to sync the photos than the actual size of the photos to be copied to the phone.

  • Itunes stops working when connecting to itunes store

    I just accepted an upgrade to itunes today and since then I can open itunes, but the moment I try to connect to the itunes store it stops working and is closed by Windows. I have unistalled itunes and all linked software and reinstalled, but to no avail!!

    Courtesy of another user, and because the Devs are useless, I'm copy/pasting the fix from another thread that only iTunes users figured out

    OK - here's the fix!  If you are running iTunes 11 on Windows 8 and iTunes crashes when you go to the iTunes store, you just need to copy a dll file:
    Dopying the QTMovieWin.dll from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\ INTO c:\program files (x86)/iTunes"

  • ITunes Stops Working when I Sync

    Does anyone have a clue for me? I've had no problems syncing my phone until a couple of days ago. Now when I try to sync it causes iTunes to stop working and gives me a message that the problem will be solved if I get the lastest version of iTunes. Oh wait! I have the lastest version! I even uninstalled iTunes and redownloaded it and installed it... No change...
