ITunes stops working when watching videos

I use Windows Vista (32 bit). I use iTunes regularly, and have been for years. All of the sudden last week, when I would try to play a TV episode, it would stop working. I tried redownloading iTunes. It works until I turn my computer off and turn it back on. Anytime I turn my computer back on, I have to reinstall iTunes. Sometimes I uninstall everything myself and reinstall it using the web. Sometimes I just reinstall it and it gives me the option of "fixing" it. Either way, once I've turned my computer off once, it will stop working and I'll have to do it again. I've tried uninstalling Quicktime, like everyone suggests, but my computer won't let me delete the necessary files. I spend a lot of money with iTunes, and enjoy the shows I watch weekly, but this is just frustrating. If I can't fix it, I don't know what I'm going to do!

What error message are you getting when you try to uninstall QuickTime, Megan? (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes stops working when playing video downloads

    Hi,
    I've installed iTunes on my windows 8 platform and every
    time I try playing downloaded video purchases iTunes closes down with the
    message “iTunes has stopped working”. I've looked through the forums and have
    followed guidance to uninstall iTunes and other apple software and reinstall. I
    have also followed the guidance to delete and move dll files. Have also opened
    iTunes  in safe mode. Nothing works. I'm
    on the verge of dropping iTunes and getting Netflix. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Neil

  • 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.

    Hello nicolini,
    It sounds like iTunes quits unexpectedly everytime you try to open it so you can no longer use it. I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue here, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    Start with these steps to open iTunes in Safe Mode to see if a 3rd party app may be interfering with iTunes. There is additional troubleshooting to be done in the article if this is not the case:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    I just got a new HP Win 7 64x Intel i7 computer, installed the latest 64x iTunes etc and tried to move my iPad over.   It will synch everything except for photos and videos; it gives the error "iTunes stopped working, program will close" when I try to synch my photos.   I have tried to uninstall and reinstall etc. to no avail, it just keeps doing the same thing.   
    I went back to my old computer 32x machine and successfully re synched and put my photos back on.   This seems to indicate that the problem is either with iTunes compatibility with the version of Win 7 on my HP computer or with the iPad compatibility.
    Anyone find the solution to this bug?

  • 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...
