My iTunes suddenly stopped working?

My iTunes suddenly stopped working. Everytime i go to open it i get the message:
DLL C:\ Program Files\ Common Files\ Apple\ Apple Application Support\ Media Toolbox.dll
Error 7 (Windows error 193)
I tried to reinstall iTunes by going into my Add or Remove Programs and by pushing reinstall iTunes twice but both times it didn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I had thousands of songs on my iTunes account and need to restore my iPod from the backup on my iTunes account.

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT1349 itunes suddenly stopped working, its quitting unexpectedley?

    My itunes has suddenly stopped working. It was fine one moment and the next day i clicked on the icon and nothing. Keeps saying i tunes quit unexpectedly ?/ help.

    Usually you get the 2330 error number when trying to install/uninstall iTunes and it normally indicates a corrupt file.
    Try running a disk check to see if any errors are fixed. If it does find errors it would be worth trying a repair install of iTunes.
    But I haven't seen it it your situation, usually that configuration message starts immediately after you install iTunes. It happens when Windows thinks iTunes hasn't been properly installed and auto-repair is triggered.
    One thing you could try to make it go away although it does not fix the underlying problem...
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and try starting iTunes by double clicking on iTunes.exe. If iTunes opens normally, try making a new desktop icon by right clicking on iTunes.exe and selecting Send to>>Desktop (create shortcut).

  • Itunes suddenly stopped working..help!

    so the itunes was working perfectly fine then all of a sudden my laptop started acting a little weird..freezin etc..so i restarted it..everything else is working fine except itunes..usually when i plug the usb cord in and attach my Touch itunes automatically pop up..that didnt happen
    I click on itunes itself on my desktop its telling me
    "Please wait while Windows configures Itunes"
    and Im like huh? then it comes back and says "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
    what on earth is this now? It was working fine before..why is it even telling me about installation again? Ive looked through the help topics and articles and to no avail..I tried the repair option, no such luck..I tried removing it altogether, it wont let me telling me theres a fatal error..I restarted the pc again..ofcourse everything else is working except itunes
    I tried downloading it again but when I do the setup is only allowing me to repair or remove itunes and neither of those are working..Im at a loss..whats next?

  • I recently purchased Star Trek into Darkness on Bluray in the UK. When the digital copy with the movie had finished downloading in iTunes, it said processing and then iTunes suddenly stopped working and I had to shut it down. Now I can't see it at all.

    Can any one help as the digital copy downloaded but was processing when iTunes froze and then I had to shut it down. I have the latest version and am using iTunes on a windows PC. I would imagine similar problems could arise on download processing if there was a power cut so surely iTunes knows that my ID has redeemed the movie and it will continue now?
    Can anyone help?

    I forgot to add that when I looked at the store for available downloads it only continued to download the movie extras  which is only 69MB of menu items and no movie content.

    Note: I tried running itunes in "itunes safe mode" (i.e. holding control-shift-itunes) at start up and itunes works fine.
    What can I do to fix this issue? I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but I was able to get itunes to run by turning off genius.  I've heard that others had to turn off itunes Match as well.  If you start up itunes while your computer is not connected to the Internet you shoulld be able to start itunes and then disable these items.
    I'm trying to determine a root cause because I'd like to use genius.  Stay tuned...

  • HT203175 While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the erro message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.  HELP!!!

    While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
    Help???

    Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
    We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
    However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
    STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!

  • My I pad suddenly stopped working then i connect it to iTunes it make error 4014 can you help me please

    my I pad suddenly stopped working then i connect it to iTunes it make error 4014 can you help me please I pad 4

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.

  • Itunes has suddenly stops working when any player connected

    Itunes has always worked fine on my HP laptop running Vista. With no changes in configuration or software, Itunes has suddenly stopped working any time an Ipod, Nano, or Shuffle is attached. I have tried to reinstall all software, restart computer, checked devices for updates. Have also tried solutions published on Apple support page. Nothing works. Itunes starts and works fine until a device is connected, but then I get the message that the program has stopped working and needs to close. Occasionally the whole system crashes and I get a "blue screen" error.

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  Why?!

    For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer.  iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups.  It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me".  Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do?  Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..
