When I open iTunes, I am told that iTunes has stopped working properly

Apologies if I am opening a discussion thread that has already been covered, but I failed to find the same issue in the Community.
When I start iTunes it briefly opens but then I am told that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution. A further message then tells me that a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify me if a solution is found.
So far no solution has been forthcoming. I have uninstalled iTunes and downloaded fresh install but the problem still exists.
I have pasted the following Problem report. I am running Vista with Service Pack 2 - 32 bit version.
Hope someone can help please.

Hi Shorty2949,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if iTunes stops responding after launching:

When Firefox begins, I get the message that Firefox has stopped working. Making it impossible to do any of the troubleshooting procedures. Turning off computer and rebooting do not help. Any ideas about how to solve this problem?

Everything was working fine and when I switched from email back to Firefox the problem started. Nothing new had been added before it experienced this problem. I also have IE on the computer, so I can get to this site.

You need "sysinternal's process explorer", it is free and can replace the Microsoft process explorer, that you get by "CTRL+ALT+DELETE". Either program will allow you to kill the instances of FF that didn't die as they should have, when you closed them. Sysinternal is easier to use, it is a graphic display with many options. Do not push "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" twice unless you want to reboot, that is its default behaviour under Microsoft.

Let's first try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that help with the iTunes launch errors?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

my photoshop crashes when i double click, it says that it has stopped working and that i should check online for a resolution, anyone got anything to help me

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

ITunes has stopped working properly.

iTunes has stopped working properly.

Ok.
3 days ago, for no apparent reason my itunes stopped working.
This only happens after it has "synced" with the itunes store and prepares to upload remaining songs.
NOTHING has changed since then other than downloading latest itunes (11.1...whatever) which i was recommended to do after it stopped working.
I am using windows 7
Latest itunes version (for windows)
I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.
Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.
Bit annoyed. Tried copying the dll file from QT that somebody mentioned earlier. Also tried "repairing" programme and re-downloading update.
Not working still!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

HT201077 my pc gives message that photostream has stopped working it wont upload photos

pc gives message that photostream has stopped working. I have checked settings and read through online support, can't find why.

I was having the same problem. Earlier in the week, I was able to drag a few photos to the upload folder and they synced correctly. Yesteday, I dragged different photos, and I got the "applephotostream.exe has stopped working" error.
The solution - for me, at least! - was to reduce the size of the pictures being uploaded to the photostream. While all of the pictures were jpegs, the first set were ca. 800K (3800 x 2500), and the second set were ca. 2.5 MB (4000 x 2000). When I reduced the resolution of the last set by a factor of 4 (ca. 600 K, 2000 x 1500), they uploaded without a hitch.
Based on this admittedly sketchy experiment, it looks like Apple has a max picture size limit, apparently based on file size rather than picture resolution). Perhaps < 1 MB? To be rigorous, I should complete the experiment - leave the resolution of the second set of pictures alone and reduce file size by reducing jpeg quality.
Has anyone heard about a picture file size limit?

I cannot back up-get message that "Organizer has stopped working". Is there anyone to help me????

I cannot back up - get message that "organizer has stopped working-a problem caused the program to stop working". Is there anyone I can talk to at Adobe???

If it is a Windows System then the error could be temporary. To resolve this, reboot the machine and try again or login as Administrator and try to backup using that account.

Hi jkrad4130,
The My Pictures folder is the defautl folder where the software gets all the files from so you can view and edit them. If you want to add other folders containing your media files from earlier imports, just click on File, Add folders and select the folder you want the software to manage. I would also suggest backing up your files to another device, if you have any.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

I've installed Firefox 3.6 running under Vista V6.0 Service Pack 2. Any attempt to do anything at all with it produces a Windows error message that Firefox has stopped working and it then closes Firefox. Is this a Vista issue?

The download and install processes seemed to work OK
The first Firefox window opened suggesting I update Adobe Flash Player. Clicking on download (with AV s/w either on or off made no diference) produced the Windows message that Firefox had stopped working.
By-passing the Adobe download suggestion and attempting to open up my home page (Google) produced the same result.
In fact any attempt to do anything, i.e. hitting the Enter key or left-clicking the mouse, produced the same result. Firefox freezes and WIndows then closes it.

Try to update Windows Vista Service Pack 2 using Windows Update, then select all high-priority or important updates, install them and restart the computer. Run Firefox. If it works fine then OK or if it crashes then there was no problem with the operating system.
The second method is restart your PC, after the manufacturer logo appears and before "Microsoft Corporation(C)" progress bar appears press F8 key. you will be presented with a menu with options-
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
etc. select "Safe Mode with Networking , and then login to your user account. Run Firefox again. If it works normally, then that probably means that your PC was infected prior to installing Firefox. Update your existing antivirus and run a full scan or acquire free Antivirus like Avast Free Antivirus etc.
If it still crashes, then try re-installing NOT Repairing Firefox AFTER INSTALLING AN UPDATED ANTIVIRUS .
OK the last way, better uninstall Firefox 3.6 and install Firefox 4 Beta 7. Firefox 4 Beta 7 runs 3 times faster than Firefox 3.6, with an overall improved interface.
