Why is the latest version of Itunes causing my firefox 9 to crash?

My firefox 9, which i love btw, started randomly crashing on me very often. I read in a thread online that ppl have fixed this problem by ininstalling Quicktunes or Itunes. I did just that (uninstalled the latest Itunes update version 10.5.02) and my firefox stopped crashing. I don't like Itunes as it is, only use it because i have ipod, but the latest version seems to have glitches or flaws or smth. Going back to the older version.

You are not having my exact same problem, but try this:
1. Browse to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming" in Windows Explorer.
2. Rename the "Apple Computer" folder to "Apple Computer-old".
3. Start iTunes
4. Close iTunes
5. Copy the file "iTunesPrefs.xml" from "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
6. Paste the old "iTunesPrefs.xml" into the new "Apple Computer\iTunes" folder iTunes just created (not the one you renamed) under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
7. Overwrite the new iTunesPrefs.xml with your old copy of the file.
If you don't care about losing your iTunes preferences then you can just do step 2. You can always go back and grab things from the old folder later if you realize you wanted to have your EQ settings, individual track gains, etc...

    Why is the latest version of iTunes suddenly unable to accept manually added album artwork

    CTRL-click the little art to the left of the progress bar.  That makes it big. 
    Right-click the big art and you will get some options to adjust how big!
    Or just drag the corners/edges like a regular window.

  • Why does the new version of iTunes cause my CPU to spike?

    I've downloaded the newest version of iTunes (and even reinstalled it, to be sure).  [Version 10.7.0.21].
    When it is idle, or at least, when it is supposed to be idle, it causes my CPUs to run up quite a load.  Up to 27% from 4%.  This appears to be centered on the program AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, which accounts for about 25% of my overall processor load.
    The processors cool off and quiet down as soon as I end that task. 
    Is this a known bug in the new app, or is this just me?
    -Steve

    I just found out from another post on how you can fix the issue.  Open QuickTime Player on your computer and go to Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences.  Once your in QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Advanced" tab then uncheck the box that says "Enable Direct3D video acceleration".  I tried this and it seemed to solve my problem.  Hope it works for you!

  • Why is the latest version of iTunes having difficulty recognising my Apple ID?

    This past week, I have been unable to access my iTunes library on my home iMac from my wired Apple TV which was working perfectly well before. No other changes apart from upgrades to Mountain Lion and latest iTunes version as per Software Update. I have now discovered that I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes and the same thing is happening with my iPod too. There appears to be a problem with iTunes recognising my Apple ID as I am repeatedly being asked to enter my Apple ID but it would not accept my username and password. Interestingly, iTunes, pre-populates the username with my hotmail account (which I rarely use) rather than my me.com address. I have no problem accessing iCloud.
    This is incredibly frustrating as I am unable to sync any of my devices with iTunes. iTunes tells me that my home iMac is not an authorised computer and when I do authorise it, it goes through the same loop repeatedly.Tried the usual quitting, restarting, deauthorising then re-authorising my iTunes account, etc.
    Anyone has any idea what is happening?

  • Why wont the latest version of iTunes load omn to my windows operated PC

  • Why does the latest version of ITunes change all of my web based icons to ITunes programs and all of my desktop icons to the ITunes icons?

    when downloading itunes why all my web based programs change to itunes programs and all of the desktop icons change to itune icons?

    That's because iTunes is registering itself as the default application to open those kinds of files. I believe you can stop that behavior when you install it. To revert a file type's default handler you need to select it and select "Get Info" from the File menu and change the settings under "Open with:" to your desired application.

  • Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought?  I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

    Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question.  Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded?  I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud.  ( My computer shows the icon.)

    What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
    This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
    What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

  • Why is there no option to check for app updates in the latest version of ITunes?

    I downloaded the latest version of ITunes but Apple took away the button to check for app updates. Why?

    Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.

  • The latest version of iTunes com addin for outlook cause outlook to hang when exiting

    iTunes Version 11.0.0.163 com addin for Outlook causes Outlook 2003 used on a Windows XP machine to not close when exiting.  I have verified via the Task Manager that it Outlook does not close.  I have gone into Outlook and disabled the addin and Outlook closes properly.  Enable it again and Outlook once again does not close.  This did not start hapening until I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes.  I have both an iPhone and iPad that I need to keep synced with my Outlook calendars, contacts and notes.
    How do I get in touch with someone at Apple to report this.  I have been all over their website, but cannot seem to find any email or phone number to report software bugs.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
