Playback feature in Itunes has stopped working

Howdy,
For some reason the playback feature in Itunes has stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes 7 multiple times and it just won't work. Basically its a pain in the *** to use Itunes as my music player because I now have to select the next song in my play list and press play rather than it just playing automatically. It's very annoying.
Anyone ever experienced this bizarre problem?

Message "itunes has stopped working". Itunes opens and can read an audio cd but as soon as the "get information" option is selected the message "itunes has stopped working" and the computer freezes or at least slows to a snail's pace.

Hi,
I have a PC running Windows 7 - 64bit OS. I have had iTunes installed since the beginning of the year on this computer and have not had any trouble with it except actually using iTunes but that is a different issue. The other day I inadvertently downloaded "Tuneup" which I don't want or need. I firstly want to say I have no concrete evidence that Tuneup has led to my problems. It may be coincidental that Tuneup and my problems appeared together.
Tonight when I started iTunes, Tuneup took over a quarter of the screen on the right side. I closed this program. When the list of tracks was ready to be loaded from the CD and I went to" file" - "get info" option the message "iTunes has stopped working" would appear. Closing this message resulted in iTunes shutting down. I should say that before I closed the message the computer had essentially ground to a halt. The other curious thing was the behavour of the mouse pointer on the screen - the only place where it was visible was in the "iTunes has stopped working" box. Moving it out of the message box resulted in it disappearing. It would reappear if it were caused to wander into the message box.
I subsequently removed Tuneup (control panel, programs and features, etc...) iTunes had not improved. I then deleted iTunes, firstly saving the library to a file on the desktop. Then I did a fresh(?) install of ITunes but there seems to be no change. A curious thing was even though I had deleted iTunes through the control panel the library was still there as if I had done nothing. The whole thing is a complete mystery and extremely galling.
If someone has had a similar problem I would really like to know what the fixes were.
Thanks for "listening".
Cheers,
Grant Andrews.

I had a similar problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. The following solution worked for me:
COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes
Also, reinstalling Quicktime has worked for others having this same issue.

Itunes has stopped working windows 7 QUICK FIX

I really don't know if this will help all issues, but it sure did the trick for mine. After reading multiple workarounds and fixes for this problem (itunes crashing upon trying to play video with the message 'itunes has stopped working' - same issue with quicktime), I thought to myself, "there's GOT to be an easier way." And, in my case, there was. I went to the control panel, selected the uninstall a program feature, but instead of uninstalling, i selected itunes and clicked the 'repair' button. I did the same for quicktime. And now, both work as they should. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Hope it helps. And if it doesn't, don't blame me. I'm not an expert - just a guy trying to share a possible quick fix to your problem. GOOD LUCK!

When I try to open itunes my computer says itunes has stopped working.....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:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ITunes has stopped working while sync photos

I have been having problems since I updated iTunes to 10.4, it keeps crashing (itunes has stopped working) while sync photos. After uninstalling and re-installing the problem still stayed. I therefore tried sync photos a batch at a time (15 photos at a time) IT WORKED but I still cannot sync my videos. I think that the problem is that this new version of itunes cannot cope with big files and therefore it crashes. I HOPE THAT APPLE WILL SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM

downgrade to itunes 10.3 as 10.4 broke this feature. if not, just unclick the include videos box and your sync should complete. here's hoping apple fixes this in itunes 10.5.

"iTunes has stopped working" when importing

Fresh Windows 7 install, fresh iTunes 10 install... iTunes sees and adds songs from the "Automatically import" folder... then after restart, it starts to perform the "Determining gapless playback information" process... usually gets somewhere between 400 and 800 songs in and craps out with an "iTunes has stopped working".
I searched on this error and found advice to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and Quicktime... that didn't help. I then removed all the songs to a different folder and started re-adding them a dozen or so folders at a time (there are several thousand folders holding about 40,000 songs, in total, so I have to do it in fairly large chunks, or it will take for-freakin-ever).
It worked fine for a while, but at some point started with the crashing again. Every time it's a different song, stopping at a different point in the process. I've started removing the song it crashes on each time (or at least, the last song listed on the "gapless playback" line), but there are about 4000 songs in this batch, so it will take a really long time if I keep going this way.
Any other suggestions on how to sort this out??

Just in case anyone else is looking for a solution for this...
In my case, I determined it to be a file or files that iTunes was adding that was corrupted or in some other way causing iTunes to choke. It appears that there was no direct correlation to the "determining gapless" process... it was something in the "Automatically add" folder that it would hit and crash on. I basically removed everything to another folder, deleted the library, then moved stuff back to "Automatically add..." a handful at a time. Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that it was actually old podcast files that were giving version 10 fits.
So if you've run into this and the other suggestions don't help, check within the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder for a "Podcasts" folder (may be two to three levels deep), and remove that...

Anyone else keep getting "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up ever since the last update?

Recently iTunes had issued a fix to the problem they were having with music stuttering during playback. I installed the update and no more stuttering.
Ever since installing that update (iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit), however, I keep getting a "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up, and it closes down. This is constantly happening to me. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it, and it is still happening quite often.
Hopefully Apple is aware of this, and will issue yet another update.
Has anyone else experienced this too, or is it just me?

Hi Wi_Writer,
Are you getting the iTunes error message when you connect a device to iTunes or only during playback with a connected device? The resource below provides some additional troubleshooting steps for this scenario.

HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7. Message shows that iTunes has stopped working. This happens every time. I have updated iTunes Software. Will not solve the problem. What is wrong

I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded. When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
          iTunes has stopped working.
The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up. The computer will shut down the website.
          "Check online for a solution and close the program"
          "Close the program."
There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details. When clicked a long list of items show up. I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them. I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version. How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
     Here are some of the Problem Details:
     "Problem signature: APPCRASH
     Application Name:     iTunes.exe
     Application Version: 11.0.1.12
     Application Timestamp: 50c8fc7e"

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.
Anthony

Can't get itunes. I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program. It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program I get the following message:
ITunes has stopped working. My two options are: Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program.
It seems that my entire library is not there. If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer?
I've even tried installing again and nothing works. Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
Thanks

ITunes has stopped working ...Running Windows 7(64)

I upgraded my home PC Desktop to Windows 7 earlier this year and had no trouble bringing over iTunes from my previous platform (Windows XP).
I recently returned home to the US from a work assignment out of the country and because my iTunes resides on my home PC desktop, I didn't open up iTunes for the past 6 weeks. During this time Apple released iTunes 10.5. When I returned home, the old version of iTunes was still working. However, when I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, iTunes stopped working. The error message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have worked through the following knowlege bulletins (nothing has fixed my problem):
(a)" iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues"
(b) "iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins"
(c) "iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio"
(d) "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows vista or Windows 7"
(e) "iTunes for Windows: system restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store"
the last bulletin (e), recommended ensuring that my drivers were up-to-date. So I also updated my drivers.
Lastly, I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support (although my problem isn't with the store, it is upgraded iTunes running on windows 7). They told me the issue was "outside (their) expertise" and recommended I look at this discussion board.

PS - someone recommended uninstalling Apple Quick Time Player. I don't have Quick Time Player.

I had the same problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. This solution only partially worked for me. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store.
The following solution worked for me:
COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes

Every time I try to import a CD I get "iTunes has stopped working"

I updated to the new 9.0.3.15 version of ITunes a couple of weeks back and ever since I have not been able to import CD's?
It seems it works with every else syncing etc but not importing CD's.
Every time I try to import a CD it will start then within a few seconds I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and another message saying Windows is looking for a solution.
I have tried going into Control Panel and Programs and repairing the installation but no luck.
Anyone know how I can fix this.

I can see messages for other programs that have had issues but nothing for iTunes.
Hmmmm.
Maybe try provoking the error another two or three times, taking a careful note of the time showing on the PC. Now head back into the Action Center. Is there a problem report for any application or operating system component that appears regularly at the same time as the iTunes errors?
If so, paste a copy of a typical error report for that in a reply. (Fingers crossed that might get us a bit closer to understanding what is afoot.)

Problem with iTunes. I have Windows 8 on a new laptop. Installed latest version of iTunes. Can play music in My Library but when I click on Itunes Store I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Anyone know what is the cause and if there is a resolution? Have tried to re-installing iTunes and have also tried restoring laptop to an earlier date.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
