Opening iTunes causes my PC to show a blue screen

purchase of a new iPhone necessitated an upgrade of iTunes version. Upgrade seemed to take, but after restart, opening the program consistantly makes my computer crash. I have uninstalled the six related programs in order suggested, then installed current version (even trying version 10 installation yesterday) still crash, crash, crash.
Here's my notes on blue screen data:
* STOP: 0X0000007E (0CV0000005, 0CBF271800, 0XA380650C, 0XA3806208)
*ati3duag.dll – address
Datestamp 46eb3954
Much of my investment in apple products and software is unavailable to me. I need help.

I got the BSOD too after upgrading to Itunes 10 on my Win XP SP3 machine. It actually failed when it finished downloading, and my diplay locked up - then the blue screen of death.
Have rebooted about 20 times today. Have a GForce 6200 A-LE video card, found some updated drivers that I downloaded from this laptop, but I cannot install them because the XP desktop machine has been rendered useless.

The screen is completely blank in the app ? Have you tried closing the app via the phone's taskbar and/or done a soft-reset to see if it then displays anything ?
Closing an app : Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Itunes causes my computer to have a blue screen and shuts down when closing out Itunes window?

When I close out my Itunes window my computer goes black then to a blue screen with words about crashing then shuts down in Windows Vista!

Thanks, I did that yesterday and it worked. I tried to repair it but it said there was a fatal error and I don't even need that Mobile device support. anyway. So after I uninstalled it, it never happened the next two times I closed out Itunes after that.

i cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

hmmmm.
doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
(i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

HT1386 Is Apple not compatible with Windows 8.1? When I open iTunes, my device doesn't show at all.

When I open iTunes, my device does not show up... connected with USB cable. I'm using a PC with Windows 8.1. Anyone else having this problem? I can't sync wired or wirelessly at all.

Hello updmom,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I found the following article that will help you in resolving this issue, where your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes.

If you get to the part where it asks you to uninstall iTunes, be sure to uninstall iTunes and the other components in the order listed.
Take care,

Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.

Try restarting the iPhone.
If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the date and time a few months out (Settings > General > Date & Time), test it again, and then set it back to the correct time.
You can also take a look at this Apple doc for other ideas -> Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Open iTunes Store for latest TV Shows and it shows noting but kids TV Show

I open iTunes store and then tv shows and it opens directly to kid shows and not regular shows as it has always done, like ABC, CBS, and Fox. Is there some crazy setting that needs to change or is this some promotion to buy kids shows right now?
Thanks for the help!

You are not alone, mine started doing the same thing last week and I have been over every inch of my settings with no luck. It is obvious someone did something wrong at iTunes and has messed up the TV Shows display. The other areas seem to be fine, just the TB Shows that is broken (unless you happen to be a 4yr old customer).

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Go to the Preferences>Performance tab and uncheck the "Use Graphics Processor" option. Adobe are aware of this issue, and are investigating, but in the meantime unchecking that option should sort out your Develop module issues.

I use the latest Firefox 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. After a day I updated my Adobe Flash Player, suddenly it crashed and showed a blue screen. Please help me.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. Adobe Flash Player version is 11.3.300.265. A few minutes after opened the Firefox, suddenly it crashed and a blue screen showed up, it says there are unexpected error occured and forced my computer to be stopped. I need to restart the computer to see either it still show the blue screen or it just fine. After restarted, I use the Firefox once again, but this time, after about 30 minutes, it crashed again. The same blue screen showed up. As I expected, the new Adobe Flash Update crashes with the Firefox 13.0.1. Really need a solution here. Thank you.

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.
