Itunes won't respond with windows 7

Everytime I plug in either my ipad or iphone itunes locks up and I have to go into task manager to end task.  How do I solve this problem.

It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • New version of iTunes won't sync with Windows Media library.

    Have just installed newest version of iTunes on Windows 7 PC, and also added new music to library in Windows Media Player.  For some reason iTunes is no longer syncing with WMP as it did in the past.   How to fix?

    When iTunes is first installed it will offer to scan the computer for content. Thereafter you need to actively add content to the library, either by ripping or downloading with iTunes, adding to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, using the Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library menus, dragging and dropping into iTunes, or playing from Windows Explorer if iTunes is the default media player. There is a tool call iTunes Folder Watch which some people use to automate this process, there may be others. iTunes doesn't do it out of the box.

  • ITunes won't work with Windows Vista

    Everytime I try to open itunes I get the error message,  'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'.  That ends everything.
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, used System Restore, removed all new installs - nothing works.  Pua

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. When I open itunes I get the error message saying 'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'. Then sometimes it pops up telling me that itunes has an update that will stop this from happening, but that just takes me to the itunes download page. Sometimes it tells me that DEP has stopped it from working but I can't turn this off for itunes. When I go to the event log I get the following info:

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and tried to repair it several times. I've also uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled it and it's working fine. I've restarted my computer several times as well!
    I have Vista 32 bit.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I've been on these forums for ages looking for a solution, but it seems like most people solved the problem by just reinstalling quicktime.
    Thanks

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Itunes won't respond to double clicking on a song once another song is play

    hi. i open itunes, double click on a track and then if i want to play another track i double click on it but itunes won't respond and just keeps playing the original track. if i click on the track, it will highlight but won't play when double clicked. it will however play if i highlight with a single click and hit return. why is this happening. it never used to happen and doesn't on my other computer.

    QuickTime X wouldn't have given the error message if it could have opened the file.
    There are many file formats and codecs it can't view.

    Thanks for the question. iTunes 11.1.4 is compatible with Windows 8, as outlined on the System Requirements page:

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

    unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
    states this app unable to run on this PC

    Hello jgrn76,
    It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
    If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
    Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Thanks! The procedure worked great for me (using iTunes 10), however there was one caveat. I also had to edit “AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi” with Orca and change the entry in “LaunchCondition” from
    VersionNT64>=600
    to
    VersionNT64>=501
    in order for the Device Manager driver update procedure to work, and iTunes to recognize my iPhone4. Prior to doing this, only “digital still camera” was displayed in the “imaging” entry in Device Manger. Once I did the above, “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver” was listed, and the procedure worked as written.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???
