Itunes stops working when on podcasts then crashes

Every time itunes starts (it is on the podcast section) it rapidly freezes then stops working. If I immediately switch to another section or store, it lasts longer.  Something is wrong with the podcast section. 
I have followed all the guides on uninstalling all components, then reinstalling:  twice.
I can't do much to check on whether one of my many podcasts might cause this, I have to act rapidly before it crashes, all I have been able to do is switch off automatic download and select manual refresh of podcasts.  I have tried starting in safe mode:  same issue.
Windows 7 64 bit and latest itunes
(p.s. so frustrated:   is there an alternative desktop app for podcasts?) 

I've gotten the same problem lately. I've never seen it before iTunes 12, but I'm not sure if it started with 12.1.1 or not...
I've tried all the proposed workarounds in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
, but even with:
- Remove all Apple software, then reinstall
- Remove my user prefs
- Create new library
- Unsubscribed from all podcasts from my devices
As soon as I try to subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on Windows, the app crashes.
Next time I start iTunes I have no subscriptions and "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings" is not set and if I try to subscribe again I get another crash...

  • 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 I connect my Ipod

    I have a 120GB ipod and have had a few problems with it but just minor things that have been easy to take care of. But this afternoon, I woke my computer up from sleep mode and I had my itunes working and all was well but then when I went to connect my ipod, I got a notification from my computer saying that my itunes stopped working, it checked for a solution and didn't find one and then it closed out my itunes. I tried opening it again but the exact same thing happened within seconds of pressing the button to open itunes, my ipod hadn't even come up yet in the left hand bar. I uninstalled my itunes and reinstalled it but the same thing keeps happening. If my ipod isn't connected to my computer then my itunes works just fine but the second it connects, my itunes doesn't work anymore, please help me

    I have the same problem! Does anyone know how to help?

    Go to folder "downloads" in iTunes music folder which is the temporary downloads folder for Tunes itself.
    If there is any item within (as a leftover from a former download), delete it.

  • ITunes stop working when adding movie. 10.5.2.11

    I have just changed PC, from a XP-one to a 7-one and now iTunes stop working now and then (often). When I try to add a movie from a library on the PC it allas stops. It worked well on the old PC. I have tryed to reinstall iTunes but no change.

    I have the same problem on XP sp3.  This is since the appearance of TuneUp. Again a so-called "useful" application.
    Apple Programmers, please K.I.S.S.  Keep It Simple and Stupid.  I do not want to be suggest to do something, I don't want to be warned of this of that, Geniused or pinged...  In the past, Itunes loaded on my pc in less than 10 seconds and it worked.  Now, It blocks my computer and I can not buy music anymore !!!!! Apple programmers, you are working against your business !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want a LITE version  !!!!
