Latest version of iTunes for Windows crashing

I've updated to latest version of iTunes for Windows today, and have up to date Windows 7. iTunes is closing down after about a minute, Windows just says iTunes has a problem. Never had a problem before. Is this a known error?

See iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Can someone help me with installing the latest version of iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium?

    Latest version of iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium downloads just fine.  But, fails to install. 
    "Unblocked and gave all permissions."  Still, no go. 
    I see by reading the other posts on this forum that I am not alone.  Any help?
    Frustrated!

    Ok...This was very odd.  I left the installation program, in what I considered a frozen state on screen.  After about 30 mins, to my surprise, It installed!  I'm not computer literate, so, I don't know what to say.  But, to just WAIT for it to respond!  Good Luck!

  • Latest version of iTunes for Windows freezes...

    I'm using Windows 7, Lenovo laptop, iTunes has run with perfect stability forever. My default library view is podcasts. Since I installed the latest update to iTunes for Windows, my iTunes freezes in podcast mode (Automatic update), but if I open it in Music mode, it plays my music fine.
    I followed the support point to open iTunes in safe mode (makes no difference) and deleted my iTunes preferences. This allowed me to select the library view rather than sticking in podcasts only and freezing. But still freezes as soon as I return to podcast view.
    As I say everything was fine until the update.
    Help!

  • Latest version of iTunes for Windows causes problems on office network

    I have recently updated my version of iTunes on my office computer to the latest available (7.3.1.3). Since doing this, I have been unable to connect my iPod video (5th gen) to itunes properly.
    When I try and connect my ipod, itunes recognises it but it comes up as "James' iPod" - one of my colleagues. When I use itunes to look at the music on my ipod, it lists all James' tunes. However, upon disconnecting and checking the ipod, it definitely still has my own tunes on there. To makes matters even stranger, when the ipod is connected, itunes seems to think the ipod has 3000GB total memory, with about 1700GB used by "other" (i.e. the bar is orange for 1700GB).
    If I try and play any of the songs that show up on the ipod it doesn't let me, i get the exclamation mark in the left hand column. I have tried rebooting, and I have tried connecting ipod first then opening itunes and vice versa. I have tried connecting when James' computer is off and when it is on. Another colleague of mine has had exactly the same problem, when connecting his ipod on his computer it comes up as James' iPod. I think that he too has recently updated to the latest version of itunes.
    Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    With the exception of your iPod, keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices including printers, scanners, external hard drives, thumb drives, hair curlers, flash memory readers, etc. before changing the drive letter. Also, be sure to plug the iPod into a rear USB port on the computer and if you are on a network, disconnect from it.

  • I recently updated to latest version of ITunes for Windows and now takes 2 - 3 minutes to open and does not see my Iphone?  Any suggestions?

    I recently updated my ITines software to version10 and since the update it doesn't recognise my Iphone/  It also takes 2 - 3 minutes from clicking the icon to firing up the software.
    Is anyone else having this problem and how was it resolved?
    Thanks

    Actually, Chris, I found that page yesterday on my own doing a search, before I wrote my post.  After your instructions didn't work, I found that page and tried deleting the iAdcore.dll and that did not work.  When I tried to open it said it didn't have the iAdcore and could not be opened.  There was no QTMovieWin there to delete.  I again uninstalled everything in the order listed on this new page, because there were 7 things to uninstall (not 5 as your last page suggested).  I found that I had iCloud so that was deleted in the proper order.  Did not have MobileMe on the computer.  Also deleted Apple Application support, which wasn't on your list either.  I restarted the computer.  I looked for any files on drive C program files as indicated, and did not find any of those files.  I went to the iTunes page and downloaded the latest version yet again (maybe the 5th time?).  And I got the same notice:
    "The  iTunes Library.itl cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the music folder."
    I went to that iTunes folder in the music folder there are a number of iTunes library folders and none of the open except one.  The ones that don't open give me the same dialogue box as above.  The last folder opens to a page of codes, I guess that's what it is.  Gobbeldy gook to me.  But that folder is listed at the top in the URL as itTunes Library.xml.  I don't see any .itl.  Is that the folder I need?  And how do I get that??
    I don't know if that last paragraph is significant, but I thought I'd include just in case it is.
    BTW, can I just download an older version of iTunes?  And how can I find it?  I still have the old version on my old computer which is at home.  Not sure how to get it from that to this one.
    Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Perhaps there is someone else who could help if you can't figure it out.

  • Latest version of Itunes for Windows Error 45075 Missing Componet

    I have had no problem with my IPad or Itunes for a year. Till today. I was moving Itunes from internal C drive to D. Freeing up space. It was suggested that I just uninstall and reinstall in new drive with clean copy from Itunes direct. So each time I open the program now it says please repair or reinstall Itunes because its missing some key componet. Doesnt say what its missing. Just Error 45075. Ive reinstalled 4x now. Same error. I have macafee virus software. Not sure if thats the issue. Windows 7. It wouldnt bother me to much but I cant sync my ipad now. Thats pretty annoying. Please advise. I need help.

    If you still haven't succeeded with this one I think I have. It seems you need to uninstall ALL Apple components so I uninstalled 5 in all from the Program list. Then a completely new install worked for me.
    Good luck

  • Can't open latest version of iTunes in Windows 8

    I have installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows 8. I cannot open iTunes. I attempted opening in Safe Mode, received the Safe Mode pop-up, selected "Continue," and iTunes was not opened. What can I do to access iTunes?

    Hey clappinghappy,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. If you issue persists after attempting to open iTunes in safe mode, the next step would be to test in a new user account:

    After isolating the issue further, see the applicable section (User-specific troubleshooting or System-wide troubleshooting)

  • Why can't I download latest version of iTunes in Windows 8 on my Asus laptop?

    When I try to install the latest version of iTunes in Windows 8 on my laptop I get the error "errors occurred during installation before it could be configured. System has not been modified".

  • I am unable to install the latest version of iTunes on window xp?

    I am unable to install the latest version of iTunes on window xp. I get "The application has failede to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".

    This may be all we know, but the new discussions keep coming in, so I repaet my post of this evening:
    With all the discussion about problems with iTunes 11 for Windows, there is also now the problem of downloading the 11 install file at all. On 2 diff computers today, I have tried to download installer and it gets to "save file" then when clicked simply disappears. Nice magic trick, but not helpful to a long-time (and mostly happy til now) user of iTunes on Windows. If there are such serious problems with the installation and function of this "new" version, what the hex is Apple doing? A new corrected release? When? why all this mess wirth a program that has always worked? How about some answers Apple?

  • Preveious versions of iTunes for Windows?

    I was running previous versions of iTunes for Windows without problems. With the latest versions, I have tried everything without success (uninstalling Quicktime, resinstalling Quicktime etc)
    Are the install files for prior versions of iTunes Windows available anywhere? All I need is music on my laptop. Great if I can install a prior version. Thanks! /Kenny
