Receiving "iTunes has stopped working" after backup

I just now updated to IOS4 and iTunes 10 on my 3G. I had been trying to do this for a week now after I got a new laptop, but it would never work, it would stay in backup limbo for hours and hours. I would even set it to update while I was sleeping and I would wake up with it still lagging.
So I finally decided to just restore it to factory settings and get IOS4 that way. When trying to backup before the restore it kept shutting my iTunes down saying "iTunes has stopped working" and then tell me to close the program. So I just performed the reset without the backup.
But now when I go to sync my apps and songs to the phone, it goes through the automatic backup step and as soon as it reaches the end it gives me the same "iTunes has stopped working" error message. I have tried everything I can think of.
I reset my sync history, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I did a soft reset on my phone, I restarted my computer, and I cannot think of anything else to do.
If anyone out there has any more suggestions, please help.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
now after I got a new laptop.
On that computer launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Restart your computer and try to sync your apps.

"itunes has stopped working" after downloading album artwork??

For years I've avoided ipod and itunes like the plague...but about 2 weeks ago I gave in. I got an ipod touch and installed itunes. Everything was fine - until this afternoon when I clicked on find album artwork in itunes. After itunes finished going through the process of finding the artwork ( 1400 of 1600 files found, 1450 of 1600 found, etc...or something like that ), i got the error message that *itunes has stopped working*. I've been searching forums all night and tried uninstalling eveything "apple" and reinstalling. Apparently this error comes up for A LOT of people ( problems like this are why I never wanted an ipod... ). None of the recommended fixes are working. I'm assuming something went wrong during artwork downloading????? Or not? I don't really care why actually, but, if itunes crashes every time i hook up my ipod, what good is it ( or the ipod )...and i don't know what to do with the ipod ( how to download apps, or add music, photos and videos ) w/o the itunes. My previous media players were all drag and drop ease.
I'm a newbie - and i'm rally frustrated - so please be kind. Can anyone tell me - in plain terms - how to get my itunes to not "stop working" every time i hook up my ipod?? Please?
THANKS.

OK, so after looking everywhere for an answer - with no luck - I figured it out on my own ( don't ask me how... ). I'll tell you what I did. I bet you have the same problem. Honestly, I thought I'd be returning the **** thing, but it's fine now.
I'd plug in my ipod ( 32gtouch, like yours ), and itunes would open. Everything was fine until it started to sync my music. Then it would freeze, give me the error message, and then shut down. I did this probably 10 times throughout the day, and always the same. Then I noticed it always froze at the same place during the sync. Soooo, I finally realized I must have a corrupt file.
Step 1: Do as I did, but when it starts to freeze, take note of the name of the song it freezes on. That's probably the culprit .Remember it. Let the error message come up and close as always...
Step 2: Open itunes again! Click on your ipod, and then on the music tab. Immediately un-check "Sync music" ( top of the page ) and then click "apply" ( bottom right ). DO THAT FAST...before it has a chance to sync, or it will just freeze again!
Step 3: Go into your music library on itunes, and DLETE/REMOVE that song.
Step 4: Close itunes.
Step 5: Open itunes, and go again to your ipod, and click on music tab. This time, check the "sync music" box ( and apply ).
That should fix it. If it doesn't you have more than one corrupt file. In that case, close itunes and then open it again. Follow step 1 and 2 again. Remove any songs from your library that aren't that important to you ( especially those that were from questionable sources... ). Basically, you need to figure out which song ( or songs ) are causing the problem. If you just delete them all, you'd have to add them again one at a time to avoid the problem again, and that would be a pain. So, just remove as many as you feel like ( out of 1500 songs or so, I removed a couple hundred ). I left mainly the ones that were from my actual CDs or that I had bought through Amazon ( or other legit source ). I removed most of my Limewire downloads. Most of them are probably fine, but I'll add them later one at a time to be sure...
I still have plenty of Limewire songs on there, and they are fine, but, as you know, you do get bad files sometimes.
Anyways, once I did this, everything is fine and works great. I even started adding album art manually, and at one point it froze again. So, I did steps 1 and 2 again, and removed the album art I last added, and then synced again, and it was fine. Usually, the album art I add is OK, but I had that one pesky photo I guess ). So, I guess the thing is after you get the majority of your music on, just add and adjust things a little at a time, and you'll always know which file is causing you problems ( hopefully no files will!! ).
I hope this works for you. Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know if it solves your issue too!
Peace.

"itunes has stopped working" after connecting ipad mini to computer Windows 7

itunes can play 2 out of 10 movies already on my computer. Otherwise, when I start to play the other movies, I get the notice itunes has stopped working etc.
Quicktime Player VERSION 7.7.4 can get to the Apple Store and order a movie. But when I insert my Ipad mini, itunes IMMEDIATELY "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 reinstalled lastest itunes 11.1.3 after uninstalling it, and placed it not on the C Drive, which is pretty full but on another drive. I use ImTooiTransferPlatinum to put muisc onto my ipad mini, not itunes.

also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions, KLH.
There are a few threads discussing this issue, including this one -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2771714
That thread and a few others mention downloading the DLL from another site. Heres a direct link to the workaround/fix -> http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=13162938&stqc=true
Also, there was a few posts asking what time zone people are in. What timezone are you in and is the computer updated?
WTH.

Please help me figure this out.
I have already tried the following:
- Uninstalling iTunes and all the components and reinstalling iTunes
- Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling in Safe Mode (wouldn't work)
- Downloading iTunes for slower video cards and installing that (didn't work)
- Downloading an older version of iTunes (would just rollback during install and not let it complete)
- Tried a different user on my system and also didn't work
Any help is appreciated. I love using this product and would like to continue using it.

Itunes has stopped working after installing the latest version

I just received a refurbished replacement iphone and now while syncing I get "itunes has stopped working"...help???

I just received a refurbished iphone the the insurance provided by a major electronics retailer. Since i have tried to sync it to iTunes I have received "iTunes has stopped working" error. It says it will come back with possible solutions, but never does a thing. I have already removed and again installed iTunes, QuickTime, etc. to no success. Not sure what my next step should be.

This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment. Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

Why do I continue to receive an iTunes has Stopped Working error after finally updating to 11.1.4?

Like many here it seems, in updating iTunes to 11.1.4 I received the Error 7 (windows error 126) error, as well as the MSVCR80.DLL is missing error. With help from this site, I managed to fully uninstall iTunes and then reinstall 11.1.4. The iTunes program will now open, but within 1-2 seconds it will crash with 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." This error happens every time the program is opened. I am using a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve it? I sure would love to be able to use my iTunes library again!

did u fix it yet?
if u did can u help me cuz i havent use my itunes in like 3 days and its driving me crazy

After upgrading, I am getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message. I've followed all of the troubleshooting tips on the forum without success. Fortunately, it works on my other computers. Running Win7 pro.

After upgrading iTunes, I'm getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message after launch. I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the Forum without success (though most are pretty old...). Fortunately, iTunes works on my other computers, but I have iPad backups on this one that I'd like to keep. Anybody else with this issue??

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!
