ITunes - When launched comes up with error message - User at wits end

Hi - When launched ITunes comes up with error message below
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" - and then wants to send an error report off to Microsoft
I have so far been through the bulletins and - deleted high and low filters using regedit , disabled virtual drives (which bought me CD drive back to life hurrah), reinstalled several times both Quick Time and I Tunes (seperately and together) including using Windows Install Clean up and the methodical Uninstalling and full deletion of Files - HELP - any ideas !! - forgot also disabled Norton through these steps

Try this, it took me 5 days but I eventually got it to work.
1. Scanned my hard drive for viruses. 1 was found & fixed, Spybot search and destroy, this is a freebee of the internet. Reboot PC
2. Removed all software having to do with quick
player & itunes - including ipod updates. Reboot PC
3. Downloaded Quick player via the stand alone, you can get this from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html. Reboot PC
4. Dowloaded Itunes from the itunes support site.
Then when you are asked to update say no. Reboot PC
This should then work.

  • ITUNES WONT OPEN COMES UP WITH ERROR MESSAGE

    ITUNES WONT OPEN COMES UP WITH ERROR MESSAGE (send error report one)

    some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

  • I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working, I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working

    Hi guys, Please help
    Just upgraded computer to Windows 7.  Installed latest version of ITunes. It installed and uploaded all my items in my library.
    Connected IPad2 and updated latest version.  However whenever it trys to sync my contents either to my IPad, my wifes IPad or my new Iphone4S, it simply comes up with error message.  I TUNES has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found.  Urggh,  can anyone help

    This is similar to my dilemma I just posted:
    itunes has stopped working error msg after software updates?                                                                                        50 minutes ago                       
    I have removed Bonjour as well.
    I've had this happen other times when I've updated iTunes software on other systems too, to the extent that now I'm reluctant to ever Accept when it suggests I do so.  But I went ahead this time and sure enough I think I'll have to do a total reinstall.
    LOL, I don't think Windows has EVER found a solution to ANY system problem I've had which makes it mildly amusing when it acts like it's helping!

    Hi Moerdesign,
    Did you downloaded and installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 through Creative Cloud.
    After uninstalled them, Creative Cloud saying applications are "Up to Date" when not installed.
    If this is the case then please perform the steps given in the help document.

    Please let me know if this is not the case.

The HD is new.. Replaced by apple 3 months ago.. Don't know the cause the first time this happened about 9 months ago.. 2nd time, 6 months ago it never rebooted from the office for mac 2008 critical update... Did a clean install after backing up to TC... Took it to apple replaced HD even though it appeared ok, they checked all hardware and I ran techtool pro daily ever since. Last week software update had several updates avail. Office for mac being one of them.. I updated and have never booted since.. . I swear to never ever use another Microsoft product as long as I live if I can just fix this once more... Help me please

  • ID login comes up with error message

    I have changed my I'd login password three times and have logged in but after authinticating it comes up with error! I have compared my blackberry to friends of mine and it looks like my phone didn't download the app world properly when I registered! I am unable to deregister because there's no link! What do I do now? Blackberry has no customer service contact number to check my phone.my service provider can't help they say blackberry is working on it!

    "itunes has stopped working microft is checking for a solution"
    Fingers crossed, your Vista problem history may give us more information on what is going on.
    Go into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel, click on the Problem History, and look for iTunes problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the problem reports. Do they all say the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here.

    No itunes. No Music.
    Help!!!!!!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:

  • Help I cannot get on to itunes. It comes up with the message that msvcr80.dll is missing. But i need very straight forward instruction s how to fix this as I am not good with computers.

    Help I can no longer access my I tunes from my computer. It comes up with the message MSVCR80.dll is missing. Can anyone give me very simple instructions as to how i can fix this. I am not very computer literate.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    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.
    Take care,
    Sterling
